Dude, clean your lenses.
How can you do your own seed potatoes if you live in the south where your temps are up and down? Use a mini fridge?
Hello
When you said your red seed potatoes were from November, we’re they a mid summer crop that you planted and harvested in November?
I have the worst luck trying to get mine to sprout? I bought potatoes from tractor supply for planting & they’re not sprouting? Should I put them in the freezer like the weekend before planting? Would that be long enough? Maybe I’m just being impatient? Do they need to be sprouting before you plant them?
Get to the point
Why gettem so soon, wouldn't it be better to get them before you grow?
If I plant a seed potato in a potato pot and don’t harvest it until next spring, will they become seed potatoes?
you didn't explain how to start the potatoes lol. Just how to keep them dormant…
What is this ….absolutely rubbish
The main reason I buy seed potatoes is they are certified disease free and should not bring disease into my soil and also should grow into healthy potatoes with no blight or rot spots in them.
Why did I watch this?
I live in southern California. We just don't have 3-4 months with temps under 36 degrees. Can I keep them in the refrigerator?
I was just watching a video about how to store onions for 6 months. The guy on the video said do not store onions near potatoes because it makes the potatoes sprout. I wonder if storing bananas would work even better. I also ripen fruit inside a paper bag, it works well with peaches and nectarines. Maybe storing potatoes in a paper bag with onions or bananas would speed the process up.
yeah, it's hard to deinhibit grocery store potatoes. ha. Do it anyway! Trying to get eyes to turn green, that's why i'm here. I want to start planting them soon.
No way I have a place that's 36 degrees .. live in Texas
I used store bought potatoes. I bought a single store bought potato in July 2020 and it took several months for it to sprout. Sprout inhibitors do exactly that — inhibit sprouting, but they do not stop it, they just take longer. Once it sprouted, I put it in a 5-gallon bucket under a grow light over the winter. by April, I had 3 mini potatoes. Then I chitted those three potatoes, which was much easier without the inhibitor. I planted them in my garden at the end of May and now I've got four awesome potato plants in my garden.
Whos watching this for 2022s garden
Is this not only for Maincrop? How do you store the seed potato of Earlies? I was always told harvested tubers only store about 10 days!
My garage will have freezing temps in the winter, can I still store them there or should I put them in the basement?
Can you store potatoes like that, in sand?
dude!
At first it looked like you were juggling, except I didn't see any potatoes in the air.
Sorry but there is nothing organic from any store. They spry everything after the harvest any vegetable
Thank you.
Thanks, Luke. I’m a seed customer of yours out in California, and it does not stay below 36 degrees during the winter. Can I keep them in the refrigerator or freezer? Maybe in a container of sand?
Does it matter the type of sand that you use?
