And that's where today's Garden Quickie comes in. In a blazing fast 2-ish minutes, we'll cover all the things should and shouldn't do when it comes to storing your potatoes long term!
It feels just like yesterday I started this series. Garden Quickies are hyper-focused 2 minute videos that tackle the most pressing growing questions of the day. I've compiled an entire playlist of them here, check it out!: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiie7K8ZgA_I1trKU0lbcCqf4NK2f3nhf
Why can't the potatoes be washed??
2022 is the Year of the Garden! We deserve it after the last little while, and growing our own food and self sufficiency is just the reward we need to get back on track!
For more information on all your gardening questions, check out my other videos!:
I had an idea to use kitty litter instead of dirt because kitty litter is clay and it absorbs moisture so I don't think a potato would even think of trying to grow in it, it would be too dry.
what do you think of this idea?

My dad use to put lime over them to keep them. It helps to preserve them through winter.

So what if I DID wash them before I watched this 😂😂 I have basically only new potatoes. Are they not storeable? Can I freeze them?

What root vegetables can be stored together? Also, my sweet potatoes got a bit of water on them, can I still store them? They were in a really cold area and sweated quite a bit. Not sopping wet, just damp to the touch. Thx! ☺️

Hi, wow, I just had a question about storing potatoes today and here you are! I was wondering about the other side of the season though, I have just bought some "seed" potatoes from a seed company to grow my own, but I don't have room to plant them all at once. I was wondering if storing them in a cool dark place in paper bags would work to save some to plant later. Southern hemisphere here, my season is just starting!

a dirty potato... is a happy potato : )
@BRIGGS2710So where can you store them if you don't have a root cellar or basement?
@rosalindhbMine have been planted for quite a while. They are nice and green but no blooms yet. I dont remember when i started them. How long doe it usually take before harvest?
@tammymanuel9158I’ve stored potatoes for 6-8 months and they are still great
@stephanestpierreIf you don’t get a frost can you leave them in ground and dig them up as needed? I live in CA. No frost and no rain.
@jam_is_jamminThanks, always nice to hear from you! But...down here in S FL, there is no cool storage except the fridge! Guess illjust grow & eat in the winter!
@patriciatinkey2677The fridge is cool, dark and dry??? And, what is curing them?
@technoforever888How do you recommend curing them? Is we don't have a greenhouse and living in a northern state?
@mariethomas4703The slugs were prolific, despite picking literally 2500 this spring.
They killed the plans, and, what I've dug up so far are filled with small cream colour worms.... sooo bummed.
Right on time again even in different continents! Thank you for sharing
@rudozemeu3357Love the garden quickie !
