Amazing Crop of Container Grown Potatoes : Sarpo Blue Danube
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- One of my best harvests of potatoes EVER !! from only 4 x 30 litre pots.
These are the variety Sarpo Blue Danube which aren't renowned as the biggest cropper when compared to their relative Sarpo Mira but this year are the biggest I have ever grown.
Using just 3 seed potatoes and about 3 oz of blood fish and bone fertilizer and a small amount of Organic Potato fertilizer this is the result.
Hi, I'm Dan and I grow a huge variety of vegetables for eating and also some Giant and Exhibition Show varieties for Local and even National Competitions.
Throughout the year I will try to show how I go about growing my produce and hopefully give a few tips and tricks along the way.
Whether it be how I grow potatoes in containers, growing basic veg for the home to growing a 10 pound onion or even a 100 pound marrow I will chart all my progress.
Please have a look at my videos and subscribe to my Channel.
Thanks.

very good Harvest of Blue Danube that makes you a winner
I am so happy to have found your channel! I am learning many new things - I used to do a lot of gardening in Canada in small plots, and now am in Greece... and trying to figure out how to use the advantage of a longer growing season and what I can do in a small garden, but big ambitions for growing many things.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Sensational. I have never seen such a big - and perfect - crop in a bucket.
You do the best reveals on UA-cam! 👍👍🇨🇦❤️
There is no joy quite like seeing you happy with a potato crop.
Wow mate! That's impressive.
Great looking harvest Dan.
you not be going hungry this winter 😂
A potato reveal! Truly an amazing harvest, congrats!
Congrats Dan!!
Another nice harvest. Those are some beautiful spuds!
Fantastic to see my first allotment and I'm looking forward to doing my potatoes in tubs 👌
Lovely crop and video. That was fun. Thanks.
One heck of a harvest. Great job!
Wow. Bet there's over 40lbs there.
I am incredibly frustrated every time I watch him and his bumper crops. He makes it all look so routine and his yields from containers are huge. We dont have the varieties he uses in the USA. Is that the difference? Probably not. His veg growing skill is amazing. The carrots @ 3 feet long and the ten lb onions are incredible. He makes it all look so easy and it isnt. 235 lbs potatoes from ten containers one year. WOW.
Only grow what works best in your area. He can grow things we can’t and Vice versa. His pots are always so impressive
Good grower, yes. Also.... Weather has a ton do do with cool weather crops. And soil. But good soil can’t make up for contrary weather and climate.
@@ivahihopeful I live in South Central Texas and NOT ONE potato came up in our first crop ever.
@@crazydee1955 I’m sorry. I don’t do too well in South Mississippi, either. Sweet potatoes do great here.
@@sarahsiskin6780 also what you feed the pots with, avoid high nitrogen feeds, like chicken manure pellets which will give you the lushest, biggest plants but very few potatoes. Nitrogen feeds things like cabbage and greens, but doesn't help develope what's underground
I’d say 80 or 90 lbs altogether fantastic crops 😇❤️
Thank you, Dan! You know how I enjoy your potato reveals. I've been anxiously waiting. Miss not seeing Sarpo Mira this year.
Great crop Dan
Nice Harvest!!
so many potatoes!
Wonderful result !!!!!
Always love a potato reveal 😍 I've got 2 purple varieties currently growing & can't wait to see what i get!
OUTSTANDING!
A amazing haul Dan. Must rank as one of the greatest.

What an amazing haul of potatoes
Absolutely fantastic.
Great update mate.
👍👍👍👍👍🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
Hi Dan, I would love to get my hands on some Sarpo Blue Danube! I grow Sarpo Mira exclusively for winter baked spuds, best spuds I have ever tasted. Mine are grown similar to yours in 30l buckets with drip irrigation but my yeilds were pitiful this year. I'm putting it down the the summer heatwaves. It's good to see the Sarpo line gaining traction over the years. I remember when Sarpo Mira Spuds were something of legend!! Let me know if I can cross your palm with silver for some nicegolfball to egg sizes specimens 👍😏
My Blue Danube have been in the ground since early May and are still going strong.
beautiful dan it has been a great for taters i have one bag of russets left that i will dump next weekend the first bag was 12 pounds which aint bad but after the kenebac was a little disappointing because they were 20 and 22 lbs each,love what you do you have been a great help over the years!thanks.
That was incredible. Well done.
I have tried to grow blue majesty’s for about 7 yrs and all I get is marbles.
This is amazing!
Thats the way to feed the world
Outstanding harvest my god you need a bigger bucket. You could feed the neighbourhood with them!! Wow well done. BFB mix is amazing. I am going to try organic mixes (leaf litter and weed tea) this year Aswell and see if I can get good results though potatoes are usually pretty good at growing regardless. This is amazing though.
Hi Dan Been waiting for this moment and you didn't disappoint good buddy. What a cracking haul! Well pleased for you. We were out by 3lbs by the way Haha. How will you store them Dan? All the best mate, Andy and Karen 👍😎
I've been growing Sarpo Mira this year in 5 x 70L pots (5 seeds in each pot) - The first 2 pots I harvested fairly early because the harsh sun had mostly killed them off, I got 2.4kgs from each of those 2 pots. Just finished using those up, so have turned out the 3rd pot that continued growing until recently and I got 4kgs from that pot.
Still have 2 pots left, but I'd expect another 4kgs / 9lbs from each of those if the 3rd pot was anything to go by - however, not quite as good as I was expecting, although it will see me in potatoes for quite a few months yet.
Any tips welcome!
The spud king of the world!
What a treasure.....
Maybe you should open a fish and chips food truck
Those are some sexy Potatoes! 😍🥔
Beautiful harvest...how often did you water and fertilize them??? And what fertilizer did you use?? Also how many seed potatoes did you plant per pot??
I grew some Blue Danube for the first time this year after watching your videos. I'm reasonably happy with the yield for a first go.
Was just wondering though do you par boil yours before roasting? I find they start breaking up really fast compared to other spuds so wondering if it's better to just go straight to roasting and skip the par boil bit.
I don't parboil blue danube as they roast beautifully as they are
@@moonienoire Ah ok. I'm growing some more so will try that this year.
thats xmas dinner sorted and all round to your is it ?
Wowser man 39lb that's amazing. I might grow these next year if you say good chips and roasts. Well done lad.
Well done try growing roosters and cultra next year grew them this year unreal results
👌👍
Superb crop - Dan - Well done! - can you tell me the brand of fertiliser you used - mate?
I'm really curious. Planting potatoes in pots sitting on top of a raised bed and letting the roots go out of the pot into the beds is something I would never have considered. What gave you the idea? What were you thinking that sparked that concept?
Hi when I used to grow potatoes for show or exhibitions I used to use small 10 litre bags and plant them in the beds.
This resulted in huge potatoes considering the small bags.
So I just continued from there to my spuds for eating in the bigger pots and it still produced a huge yield.
Cheers Dan
👍
Hi! Do you grow potatoes in just compost soil? What is the NPK of your amendments? Do you only fertilize once? Thanks. I’m tired of small potatoes 😊
Hi Dan my onion seedlings are just at the crook stage and under lights . Would you keep the lights on 24 hours a day at this stage I only have them on at 50% power . Thanks
Hi Dan, I am doing potatoes Charlotte in pots this year too. My first time . May I ask how many seed potatoes you used per pot? Thanks.
You make me want to plant a potato. How do you store them?
Nice! Your videos should be seen by more watchers. May I repost your channel without changing anything on the clean platform named Ganjing World? Thank you!
Dans the man,
I grew sarpo mira potatoes this year for the first time heavy crop lovely clean big potatoes but no taste very bland
Try kestrel if available. Great all round potatoes.
How long will they last you and how do you store them?
he chits in January, and stores somewhere cold and dark.
I think 50 pounds.
I say 44 pounds 👍
Grew mine in 30 litre pots, watered then everyday, absolute disaster.
My friend you are not alone.He could take me by the hand and we replicate every move he makes. My yield would be minimal. Its very depressing.
Mine were okay this year but no where near this type of results. I get so jealous watching the potato reveals from across the pond lol.
I found a company to order Nicola and Charlotte from next season but they can't get the sarpo line yet.
I do grow mini potatoes mostly here. Those little tiny potatoes. I tried French fingerling this year too had better than I expected but still nothing like this!
But I tried a few cuttings from my French fingerling and all but one plant produced a few tubers so im planning on trying that again but starting a few plants earlier for them.
At least from all the comments I'm not alone in my lower results lol
Dont water daily. Waste of time and water.
Plants need drainage. Water well, till water comes out of holes using a watering can so you can gauge the amount of water.
Test with finger. When soil has lost dampness ie is becoming dry, water again.
