  • Harvesting the 50 litre container pot of Sarpo Mira Potatoes.
    I've never grown potatoes in pots bigger than 30 litres before so tried 4 seed potatoes in this larger 50 litre pot.
    I'm now thinking this may be the way to grow them in future after the crop I got from this one.
    Happy Gardening.

    I just cant believe how they have access to just such a large variety of fruits , trees and plants. Feels like they live in paradise. Fresh produce right on their door step , surrounded by nature and enjoyed together in a close knit family and community! All the money in the world cant buy what they have.

  • @ryanjohnsallotmentjourney770

    Hi Dan, I worked out that if this is a 50 litre pot, and you got 25lb, then if you ordinarily grow in a 30 litre pot, and equivalent haul would have been 15lb in a 30litre pot.

    Congrats on the good crop. Will start this season planting potatoes in pots. Not sure how to start. Do you have a video on how to plant them, ie, soil and feed etc. Time of year and weather conditions? Going to click on your vlog but anyone with any way to start is welcome to answer.

    I am so tempted to only grow spuds in pots this coming season. I grew Sarpo Mira's in the ground this year, they are unstoppable, I had to dig them in the end to clear the ground. Saying that my SunBaby Gold cherry toms are still growing in Nov in the UK!!!!!!
