The only potato I’ve heard of on your list is the King Edward.

Do you have any videos of your wife cooking any of her recipes. Here in the US it would be a treat to see how your family does it. 😊 Thank you Sir
Huuuuuuge Mitchell and Webb vibes off you! lol
Canadian here with all Brits on dad’s side of the family. Just discovered your videos yesterday and I’m in nostalgic heaven. My great uncle Harry would always come for a visit during planting time (late May) and he was my favourite uncle. He never discouraged me from helping with the planting as a child, although I’m sure it would have been easier to leave the kids out of it. The world needs more people like you and my late great uncle. ❤️
Do you not water them in once you plant them?
I like to grow potatoes in a cardboard box

I accidentally grew potatoes
I've only been growing potatoes for 53 year's and I never worry about frost. Plant early and always get a good crop.
When I was a child, my family went camping and found a few potato plants growing at the edge of the forest. Deep in Quebec's wilderness. Wr figured someone threw potato peels on the ground and they grew. lol. To this day, I cut out parts of a potato with the eyes, and shove them in dirt. a bag of soil, slit open. a bucket or basket. miracle: taters
Thanks for the video. You don't find any benefit from leaving the mid season potatoes in the ground for two weeks once the plant has died off?
Thanks again! 🌞 I learned so.much from this video … Great channel👍
Grow plants like a pro
I just grow what comes from the grocery store that start growing in the cupboard. However, for zone 4 with crapoy soil, purple potatoes seem to grow best.
As a beginner and someone interested in this, this is soooo simple to understand no fancy stuff no big expensive gear. Very simple. Thank you for being a simpler gardener !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your videos are great. I also follow the MI Gardener on Utube.
He chits & then puts the potatoes in a cool ( not sunny) dark place for up to 2 wks. I'm left confused.?
Thank you for all that you do.
I have just stuck some in that sprouted in the veg rack over the last few months just left them until I had several I did it yesterday maybe should have watched this first 😂 I did not have a tub I just popped them in the end of a new raised bed that is full of horse manure thats been sat over winter if they do not grow I lost nothing. I have no clue what style they are will count the weeks and hope for the best
Terrific informational video.
YOU FORGOT THE BEST ALL ROUND POTATOE ON THAT LIST MARRIS PIPERS ARE THE BEST POTATOE FOR CHIPS MASH ROASTYS THOUGH THEY COST A BIT MORE THEY NEVER TURN TO MUSH IN A PAN LIKE SOME POTATOTES
Do they need alot of sun ?
Do you store your potatoes in hell?
Thanks Ben, You always have the answers to my questions!
I have a 220 l barrel cut long ways
How many sweet potatoes do you think I could put in there

Very interesting video ❤❤❤👍👍👍
Amazon delivery heavy paper bags are great for storage. Even better in an old fridge or freezer on it’s back for cold storage outside. If temperatures plummet- add some Christmas lights- old style or rope lights to keep them frost free, and a frost thermostat for automatic operation.
Where have you been all my life!

I’ve purchased Charlotte pots. What family are those? 😢
From Oklahoma USA here. Best garden show on YouTube hands down. Thank you for your work been gardening since I was a 7 year old in 1967. I still learn from you.
This was a really helpful video thank you. Wish I had watched it before on a whim buying a bag in the garden centre so I made a better selection but I can do that next year 😊
Thank you for all the knowledge you share.
I'm putting your teachings to practice.

So, do not water the leaves because… what about the rain?
I’ve tried and failed soooo many times. 😅 I’m glad I found this video. New subby for you. I love gardening, and I want to grow everything, but here where I am I’m not sure when to plant or even IF I can. I may have to go to my moms, where the weather is more forgiving and do a garden on her property. 😅 Thank you for this video. I look forward to watching more and learning.
