FYI Potatoes in Tubs
Comments (6)draeg, When you don't get any potatoes at all, something went horribly wrong. It is hard to guess what it was, but usually it is that the weather heats up too much and the potatoes stop setting and sizing tubers. Potatoes make their best growth when the temperatures are between 40 degrees and 70 degrees. Once the temperatures are exceeding 85 degrees, the plants usually stop forming tubers. That's the issue with growing them in spring/summer in pots...those pots, especially if they are dark in color and sit in full sun, heat up fast as does the soil and the plants themselves. To keep potatoes in pots cooler in spring and summer, I either put other containers of other things around them to block the sun's rays from directly hitting the containers that have potatoes in them or I put bales of hay around the pots to block the sun. It isn't as big of a deal in fall or winter when the weather is cooler, the angle of the sun is different, the daylength is shorter and the air temps and soil temps are significantly cooler. In some climates, you can grow potatoes in containers all summer long and they do just fine, but in our hot climate, the heat really has an adverse effect on the yield. If you can get the seed potatoes planted in February or earliest March and harvest them in May-June, you should get a decent yield. For pots, I prefer using early potato varieties that form tubers fairly fast, rather than late varieties that can take a lot longer to even start forming tubers. There's also a slight chance that too much nitrogen kept the potatoes too vegetative for too long, but knowing what the weather has been like, I'd bet it was the heat.

Comments (1)I grew Porter both here, in Tahlequah, OK and in Edinburg, TX (South border). It does quite well in heat. I just didn't care for the flavor. Heidi has faired very well here in Tahlequah, OK. We don't have the dryness of the desert. But we often beat their heat. Heidi has that "weedy" growth which often speaks to me of hardiness in extreme conditions. It produces a lot. And, best of all, it is decent both for fresh eating and for cooking.
