Potato Progress! 🥔✨ Look at Them Now!

Y’all remember those gold, red, and purple seed potatoes I planted about a month ago?

Look at them now!

They’ve been thriving, and YES—they’ve already been hilled.

Hilling is when you mound soil up around the base of the plants. It encourages more tubers to form and protects developing potatoes from sunlight (which can turn them green and toxic).

Curious about when to dig? You’ll know it’s time to harvest when the plants start to yellow and die back—usually around 90–120 days after planting.

Once harvested, some varieties need to be cured in a warm, dry place for 1–2 weeks to toughen up the skins for long-term storage. Others can be eaten fresh right away—hello roasted rainbow potatoes!

Check my timeline to see where these babies started… they’ve come a long way!

Have you ever grown your own potatoes before?

What’s your favorite variety to grow or eat?

Let’s chat!

Growing your own potatoes can be a rewarding and enjoyable endeavor. Potatoes are a versatile crop that come in various types, including waxy and starchy. In addition to the well-known Russet and Yukon Gold, consider the vibrant varieties like Purple Majesty and Red Bliss that add color and flavor to your dishes. To optimize growth, ensure that your soil is rich in organic matter and provides good drainage. Additionally, be mindful of pests such as wireworms and beetles that can affect your potato crop. Using natural pest deterrents, like companion planting with marigolds, can help protect your plants. Harvesting tips include gently digging up the tubers after your plants have wilted, which usually happens around late summer. Remember to cure your potatoes in a cool, dark place to enhance their longevity. Happy planting and let’s keep the conversation going about our favorite gardening tips!

Have you stopped making progress?😬

Yes, there are rep ranges that are better for different goals/ results… but all of them will eventually STOP working when you use it for too long. Your body will adapt and you will eventually hit a PLATEAU in your progress. On average it takes our bodies 4-6 weeks to fully adapt to a new stim

Form Friday It's not just about lifting weights, it's about lifting them the right way. Most people don't realize how much they're holding themselves back with bad form. Poor technique can slow progress, cause injury, and keep you from actually toning the areas you're working
