Potato Planting Update: Early Varieties Thrive & Experimental Chits Sprout!

Hello, fellow gardeners, and welcome back to our humble garden! Today, I'm thrilled to update you on our potato planting progress. It's been an exciting journey so far, and I can't wait to share the latest developments with you.

First up, our first early potatoes, Swift and Rocket. It's been about six weeks since we planted these beauties, and let me tell you, they're thriving! If you missed how we planted these, don't worry. You can catch the full sowing video in the link provided below in the description.

In our previous video, we demonstrated the step-by-step process of planting these first early potatoes in pots. It's an easy and efficient method for those short on space or looking to control soil conditions.

Next, we move on to our second early and maincrop varieties: Charlotte, King Edward, and Golden Wonder. It's been about four weeks since we planted these in the ground. Again, if you missed how we did it, check out the link in the description for the full sowing video.

Planting directly in the ground offers its own set of advantages, allowing the potatoes to spread their roots freely and access nutrients more readily from the soil.

Now, onto something a little more experimental. We have not one but two potato chit experiments underway.

In our first experiment, we've cut the chits from last year's harvest and planted them. It's fascinating to see how these potatoes are sprouting anew, and I'm eager to see just how many we can harvest from this method.

The second experiment involves using potato chits as slips, much like you would with sweet potatoes. It's a bit unconventional, but who knows? It might just yield some interesting results.

So, if you're curious to see how these experiments unfold, as well as our upcoming harvesting and cooking videos, be sure to hit that subscribe button. Your support means the world to us, and we can't wait to share the journey with you.

Thank you for tuning in, and until next time, happy gardening!
