I was happy to see you tuck potatoes in anywhere, I do that too. For some reason I can't see a sprouting potato and just peel it, out in the yard it goes. I have an eight foot raised bed, clothes dryer drum, five gallon buckets, 24 foot in ground row, and a few in-between my peonies. It is great survival food. Getting some from the basement when it’s snowing out is pretty darn cool.

I don’t think anyone ever talks about it but depending on where you live, the climate really determines the type of potatoes you can grow. There’s a reason russets are all grown in Idaho or Canada. They have a cooler summer and can grow indeterminate type potatoes that need a longer cool season. In the south, the summer quickly gets blazing hot so you can only successfully grow determinate type potatoes or early harvest potatoes. I finally grew potatoes that did well in my climate and harvested them today. I had failed before and succeeded this year. Hope that helps!

David, I've often heard that after pulling potatoes and letting them dry (as you have shown in this video) they need to be stored in a cool (not cold) environment. That is, putting them in the refrigerator will cause them to spoil and they must be placed in something like a wine cooler. How do you preserve these potatoes long term? God bless you and your beautiful family. You've given so many people the opportunity to live more securely with your knowledge. Thank you, David.

Ive been planting potatos from the store (organic) that I got for free in Florida 10a and my first batch did ok in the fall. They never got real big, majority the size of golf balls. But they stored well and were good despite being small. But when I tried again in spring they were really struggling. Some plants didnt even get to producing spuds. Out of maybe 30 plants only 3-4 had spuds and most of them didnt store at all. I suspect that the potatos I planted were too old, or possibly got diseased as alot of my garden had this powdery white look to the leaf's. Sweet potatos have been alot easier for me down here.

David, what is your current grow zone and which variety is performing best for you? I'm in Northwest AL grow zone 7B with a sandy loam soil. I've found the Red Pontiac to outperform the white potatoes, but I still plant both. Our family prefers the flavor and texture of the reds better. Some of the old timers like my grandfather told me that they used to plant a spring and fall crop, but I've never tried to grow a second crop. Have you?

I have your great compost everything book. Your potatoes look yummy. I am in East Central Florida, near KSC. Which of your Florida books is best for a backyard garden? Don't tell my son, but I do not get hydroponics. However, I can grow anything in containers and have ventured out into my sandy horrible weedy soil with cucumbers and squash and a bit of fertilizer. The first cucumber did great, half a dozen fruit, the second set are not quite big enough to fruit but thriving and a few seedlings died in the days of rain. My squash fruit and turn brown at about 3 inches. I can not get peppermint to grow without fertilizer in my soil, even with fertilizer it is quite tame. I need some Florida specific tips because nothing I did in my San Diego garden 40 years ago works here. Enjoyed the patriotic potatoe vibe!

I got 3 varieties Red Pontiac, Kennabec and Yukon Gold. I'm out of garden space so I will be growing them in containers. I sure wish I had an acre of land... I would have bought a couple 50 lb bags.
