I grew 3 types of potatoes, 2 are from grocery store, yellow and red. The other is a seed potato that I bought from a garden centre. It’s a fingerling variety called Austrian Crescent. They are small, bit can produce between 20-30 per plant.
I kept the smaller pieces to plant again for next year, this way I can keep growing potatoes non stop.
That green in the skins is called solanine and is a toxic compound. Because potatoes are of the night shade family you must be careful. When potatoes are green like that AND they freeze you better not eat those babies raw.
I love growing potatoes! It’s always a delightful surprise to dug them up and see what has been happening in the soil all summer. We grew close to 500lbs this year!
What do you purchase or use for soil? I have not had good luck with my raised beds because I can’t afford the “raised bed soil” prepared for sale. It’s nearly $20 for one single bag!

I love your channel. You have given me so many ideas for my garden. Thanks😊
Can you please reply to this. I wanna ask that how do you get the sprouts on the potatoes whenever i try that brown bag method it doesnt work 🙁
New sub. Where do you buy your seeds from? Loving all the variety that you have. All the purple peppers and tomatoes are my fave!
How do you know when potatoes are ready? Do you just need to dig them up and check?
So cool! How long can I leave them in the bag?😊
❤👍🙏😀
Can you grow sweet potatoes in a container?
I covered my cuttings and all but one died 😂
Nice variety (of course!) love the fingerlings!
