I am very pleased with the Yukon Gold and Red potato harvest. This is the first time I've grown Yukon Gold potatoes. Growing potatoes has got to be one of the easiest vegetables to grow. All I really did is feed them once a week with the Mittleider weekly feed and water them. I share how I grew them, which potato has the greatest nutrition between Yukon Gold, Red and Sweet potatoes and the kind of harvest you can expect using the Mittleider gardening method.

sawdust and sand. on all veggies? and fertilizer

.. You would have had a better yield if you only waited until the potato plant foliage died and withered away before you harvested....

From what I've read, purple potatoes are the highest in vitamin C, minerals and antioxidants. Supposedly, it is the best all around in nutritional value. They taste good also. I grew some this year and am waiting to see what kind of harvest I get. I'm hoping that the harvest will be as good as their nutritional values are...real high!

how do you store your potatoes to keep it from going bad all winter?

What type of scale is that

lol made me laugh but it was a good result. planning to learn and planting.

Some say he's still finding potatoes today...

That was very cute and fun to watch. Thank you.

How would you suggest we store ours? We live in KS and do not have a root cellar. We have a basement.

Ah, but did the Lord not say, "do not glean your fields"?

I so enjoyed this video! It kept me giggling for sure! That's a lot of potatoes! No! There is even more potatoes! And more potatoes! Holy cow! Even more potatoes! LOL

How long did it take from planting to harvest?

How big is your yard there?

lol "The Harvest that never ends" 😂 Tbh, I'd be paranoid that I didn't get them all :0 👍🏼

I am so happy for you on you Golden Yukon potatoes!!~ Keep up the good work!

Sawdust and sand would create a light soil to grow in which means there will be a higher quantity. Planting 2" beside the outer board means the Yukon Gold simply cannot produce as many potatoes as they could have because there is not enough room to grow. Spacing at 8" in a bed is a little tight and will reduce yields; 12" is better, although Yukon Gold is a smaller plant with slightly smaller yields. Most important point is light soil with good watering. Also, potatoes should sit in ground 2 weeks, undisturbed, if you want to store them through the winter.

Did you mound your potatoes or just stick them in and let them grow?

Is it hard to find sawdust from lumber that hasn't been treated with chemicals .

THE FERTILIZERS THAT YOU USED, ARE THEY CHEMICAL BASED FERTILIZERS?

........wait a minute......!......ANOTHER ONE! :o
