Your video is a great reminder of the value of patience and perseverance. It takes a lot of time and effort to grow and harvest melons and oranges, but the end result is so worth it. And the fact that you're able to make a living by selling them at the market is even more impressive. Keep up the great work! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

I think this method is actually optimal for you oop north at 1000ft. Down in NW London, I found that it was often too hot to grow potatoes in black pots - they heated up so much that the yields dropped a bit. You also seem to get more rain than us through spring and summer, which is what potatoes love. My best crops this droughty summer have been tomatoes grown in the soil, cucumbers grown outdoors, onions, spring beetroot and sweetcorn.

Ive found a company in Maine that has many of the early varieties like Nicola and Charlotte but so far no ones got any of the Sarpo line of blight resistant potatoes yet. But one company mentioned trying to get them here. One I grew this year I can't wait to harvest. Fench fingerling. I dug down a bit and tickled 4 out to try them a couple weeks ago and oh my the flavor is outstanding. My hubby was-geez hun you spent basically a dollar a piece on seed potatoes this spring. But now he tasted and hopes I have enough to eat yet save at least 12 for pots next year. Ive also done an experiment-i took cuttings from the French fingerling plants right away this spring after they had come up nice and the cuttings rooted easily and are almost as big as the mother plants. Cross fingers that they make potatoes. I made a cutting by accident last year with one of the big generic red potatoes from the store. I broke a branch or the deer did, I rooted it and even late in the season I ended up with one huge red potato and 2 small small ones. If making cuttings works I will be starting a few potatoes early under my light banks and taking as many cuttings as possible to plant out. Wish me luck!

Lovely potatoes once again. Wish we could order those pots without breaking the bank. But around here are a lot of dairy farms with mineral buckets for them. Lots of folks use those to grow in but they are more like 40 maybe 45 liter size. I might drive over to a couple I went to school with how now have beef and dairy cows and see if I can buy a few crysilex buckets from them. I'm using old planter buckets that about 30 liter and tons of 4 gallon buckets with holes drilled in for my potatoes. Plus I've been saving the soil and amending with leaf compost and composted aged chicken poo. We have scab in the soil here and potatoes look awful grown in the ground. We have apple scab too so I had to spray organic fungicide when I had apple trees.

I've been growing sarpo mira variety in 70l pots since the beginning of April. The plants grew vigorously and lush until about a month ago when they started to yellow. They're still alive and growing, but I harvested one of the pots last week and only got 2.4kg of smallish potatoes from it. Very disappointing, especially as sarpos are supposed to be decent in size and high yielding. I've heard alot of people have had disappointing crops this year

@@Allotment-diaryUk Like I seed, this was my first set. I think I may have done several things wrong. One being that I did not plant the seed potatoes very deep maybe 3" from the top. I did not water too often maybe once every few days, as I would check the moisture level and it was always pretty high. I also did not fertilize very well either. I just set down two more tubs of Rustic Reds. I started with 3" of soil and added bone meal and a 6-6-6 granular fertilizer. Then I added another 3" of soil and more 6-6-6 fertilizer. Then I pushed the seed potatoes down to about the 2 or 3" line. I topped off the soil and put a little blood meal on top and mixed that in. I really think that just planting the seed potatoes deeper in my container will make a bid difference. As there was a good 4 to 6" of unused sail when I dumped my containers. Unfortunately I do not have any beds to place my containers on. So right now they are up on bricks, so that they will drain. I was thinking about adding a 1/2 filled container under my containers, but not sure if that would be the same as placing them on an open bed.
