Potatoes are thriving in 5 gal buckets—I can’t wait to harvest!
I’m thrilled with my Red Pontiac and Yukon Gold potatoes growing in 5-gallon buckets on my patio, perfect for my zone 6b/7a short season. The potatoes arrived with dirt on them, which prevents drying and preserves beneficial bacteria. The Yukon Gold bag had slight moisture, so I sprayed them lightly with 3% hydrogen peroxide and let them dry without rinsing as a precaution against unwanted bacteria. This is my first time planting food, and the plants are thriving in containers—I can’t wait to harvest!✅Plant date: 4-17-25Bucket 1: Yukon Gold (brown skin color)Bucket 2: Yukon Gold✅Plant date: 4-19-25Bucket 3: Red Pontiac (red skin color)✅Soilless Mix Homemade - based on James Prigioni’s recipe on YouTube🔹3:2:.5:.5 ratioCoco coir 3 (5gal buckets)Mushroom compost 2 (5gal buckets)Vermiculite 0.5 (5gal buckets)Perlite 0.5 (5gal buckets)I did half because I only had one 40lb / .75 CF bag of mushroom compost, and it filled one bucketCoco coir 1.5Mushroom compost 1Vermiculite 0.25Perlite 0.25This halved mix was enough for 3 buckets.✅Nutrient mix per 5-gallon bucketSOP - 1/2 tsp (2.25 g)FeSOHO - 1.5 tspBone meal 1/4 cupShultz (10-12-12) 1 TBSBlood meal 2 tspKelp 2 TBSThis nutrient mix is good for plants requiring nitrogen in the early growing stage. For instance, it’s not good for carrots.🛑It’s not a good fertilizer mix to use every 2-3 weeks on container potatoes because the nitrogen is too high.✅Use a liquid water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks until foliage turns yellow, usually two weeks before harvest. Fish emulsion, Morbloom 0-10-10, or any water-soluble fertilizer with very low N and high PK ratios should work.✅Layering indeterminate potatoes - based on Gary Pilarchik on YouTubeI did 2 potatoes on the bottom and 3 towards the top.🛑Don’t do this with determinate potatoesWalmart: Food grade bucketsDollar tree: colorful baskets for drainage

Excellent!
All of the potatoes are a good size and in excellent condition! None have any soft spots or rotting and have more eyes than I've ever seen! Very excited about these 😁

Red Seed Potatoes
The seed potatoes look good and they had lots of eyes. I have already cut them in half and planted them. I'll give an update when they start growing. They also included some free flower seeds. Nice!
