Harvesting the Container Grown Sarpo Blue Danube Potatoes.

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.

Never boring. I love watching potato harvest

@myrustygarden Год назад

😂😂 we’re all getting old Dan but it’s better than the alternative I always say. I look at it this way 3 seed potatoes in and 4 out would be a profit 🤷‍♀️ so your lot was a good one. Have a fantastic weekend Dan happy growing, Ali 🇨🇦

@helennorvell9560 Год назад

Hi Dan. You made my day. I kept thinking, my back would be killing me. Thank you so much, I always look forward to your reveals.

@Pixieworksstudio Год назад

Noooo, not boring at all. Very therapeutic

@paulkirk6989 Год назад

Emptied my first ever Blue Danube yesterday, a handful of purple peas.

@sabbyjones2308 Год назад

Yay! Your potatoes videos are what I look forward to every year 🤗

@vmcshannon Год назад

I think it’s a superb harvest! I’ve never gotten very many spuds in pots, or in ground. This would be great for me.

@Emeraldwitch30 Год назад

Ive never had decent taters either im the ground. Only a bit better in pots. But our ground has scab bad so at least the ones in pots with the brought in soil/compost are scab free. But this year I've tried Russian banana fingerling and its done the best. Next best is French fingerling. I only grow the fancy tiny creamer type potatoes. Little golf ball sized red skin and yellow potatoes as our area in the US has a lot of good potatoes. (Michigan near mountcalm County) that i can get rather cheap like 5lb for a $1usd if not cheaper if you go with grade b But I watch all the UK gardeners and its getting a bit better each year. Hope you do as well.

@SonniesGardenPA Год назад

Good harvest, I'm going to try growing directly in the ground next year to see if I get a bigger harvest.

@theresamcpherson7352 Год назад

Thanks Dan, I always enjoy your potato reveals!

@littlegardendiary8513 Год назад

Hi Dan. For the record mate, you're never boring to watch!! As for your back, know that bloody feeling!! Not impressed ourselves with this years spud crop Dan, but going to try the sand and compost mixture next season for sure. Still Dan, not too bad a haul. Catch up soon and all the best, Andy and Karen 👍😎

@shawnsgarden3742 Год назад

Any harvest is tidy Dan, experiments work sometimes, its always worth a try. Top spuds !

@Allotment-diaryUk Год назад

Will be growing all the spuds in sand and soil from now on if I can find enough molehills. Cheers Dan.

@ms.bernabe8397 Год назад

woow sir..thats alot great job

@carolinesemple2298 Год назад

That will keep you fed for a little while. Always a better crop next year

@davedawson9851 Год назад

Eyup Dan. Soil for me as well next year. And seaweed 'cos I've moved to the coast. I can't afford this posh compost any more. You'd think it had gold nuggets in it.

@robsallotmentchannel9942 Год назад

Hi Dan Yes we are all getting older, ever since I got covid my health as gone down hill. I remember when I first started watching your channel and you was getting on average 8lb a pot. Do you think that it might actually might be the seed potatoes, seems that the harvest have got less and less over the years. i once got 11lb of Sarpo Mira in a 30ltr pot following your recipe but now seem to get 4lb if I am lucky. take care. 👍👍👍👍👍

@val6112 Год назад

Nowt better than a good spud harvest😂❤

@akitorose7771 Год назад

Soil quaiity this year has not been good, make your seems to be the way forward. Have you ever tried straw bales?

@sarahsiskin6780 Год назад

Hope your back feels better. Not a great year for spuds

@rwglavin3794 Год назад

That yield sucks. But that 30% higher volute out of that mole soil is something to remember. Wish your yield was higher. Thanx for posting.

@attermire2109 Год назад

I tried sandy soil, but clay soil is best for me, even a spade of it in the bottom of a 10 litre pot really seems to do it for me

@seanH1768 Год назад

If I have a good season with some crops then I tend to find these cheaper in shops and vice versa. Everyone I know has had a bad year with onions & potatoes so I’m expecting prices to rise in a the coming months.

@lemagreengreen Год назад

Genuinely surprised the blight hasn't hit up here in Scotland yet, absolutely awful wet summer just like yourself. Wonder how much longer I'll get but for the moment the potatoes are still growing. Does Blue Danube have a better texture than Mira? I grew Mira once and it was a good potato for chips but mash... not so much.

@Allotment-diaryUk Год назад

Blue Danube are even drier than Sarpo Mira so are only good for chips and roasts but make the fluffier roast spuds ever. Cheers Dan.

@friendlybello Год назад

Dan, what do you do with all this leftover soil when the pots are emptied? It must be a huge pile by the end of the year! Is it garbage bc it might have diseases like blight, or can it be re-composted?

@AJWGBFX Год назад

He says in the vid that he spreads it on his raised beds as a soil conditioner. The blight is caused by a virus, so doesn’t survive out of the living material.

@annecallaghan2862 Год назад

could you let us know if there was any difference in taste between the ones grown in compost vs ones grown in sand + mole hill soil

@Allotment-diaryUk Год назад

I must admit that the new potatoes grown in the same soil did taste better. Not tried these yet but will probably be better too. Must be due to the natural minerals etc in proper soil. Cheers Dan

@MrRocksoil Год назад

Dan,there is something that you can at least try to prevent spud blight,plants can only stay healthy if they've got all the minerals they require,rockdust,charcoal,and seaweed,are organic ways to achieve this,it takes time to work nature is not immediate,and there are other benefits,its worth trying,losing a crop to blight is soul destroying,give it a shot and stick at it,I've learned a lot from you,we all learn from each other,that's the gardening brotherhood.

@AJWGBFX Год назад

I live about 30 miles south of Dan and we had 11 inches of rain in July (average is less than 3 inches). The nights remained very mild, so ideal for blight. I get blight notifications from Agricast and we’ve had many days in the red - high prediction of blight. So outdoor toms and spuds almost certain to get blight whatever you do. The amendments you propose will increase growth, if nutrients missing from your growing medium, but just as importantly, they will enhance flavour.

@robsallotmentchannel9942 Год назад

To me this rock dust is just a scam, all it is, is quarry dust with a fancy name.

@pugsmom1 Год назад

Why is it I see so many people on youtube gardening sites that plant potatoes and then dont water them?

@Chet_Thornbushel Год назад

Lots of people in the UK don’t water their potatoes and many of their crops. They get more rain and milder summer than many other places around the world so they usually don’t have to. And irrigation just isn’t a common practice there.
