Sowing Potato GroVid23

Welcome Back, to Blue's Garden Tips: Sowing Potato in 2023!

My family LOVES Fresh Potato! Nothing Like it, and this is how I sow and grow my own potato to feed my family. I plant in Fabric Grow Bags, 3 twenty five gallon and 2 ten gallon bags. Find out how I make my own grow mix, and what fertilizers I use. I sow twice per year, in each container. My gardens are in New England, zone 6b/7a.

Please give this a watch and perhaps, consider giving my video a like and subscribe to my channel. I could use all the help I can get.

For the last few years, I have planted 3 twenty five gallon (95 liter) fabric Grow Bags of potato usually, around March 17th (St. Paddy's day!). This year, with our nasty winter weather, I have managed to plant potato yesterday. Finally.

Normally, it takes about 3 or 3 1.2 months for the potato to be ready for harvest. Once the green growth becomes yellowed, and starts to drop over, that means the potato are ready for harvesting:

Once I harvest, onto a table to allow the potato to cure:

After I harvest, (Usually early July) I immediately refresh the soil, add some more fertilizer and replant Potato, to get a second harvest, end of October.

Most of you know, I prefer locally grown food. It's healthier for my family, and for the planet. In fact, I prefer to grow my own food. I know what goes into my foods, and what chemicals are NOT in my food. Also, It cuts down on carbon emissions, less trucking to get fresh foods to my table.

And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.
