- This is the second and final video from our Sarpo Potato growing experiment this year. Sarpo potatoes have been bred to be Virus & Blight resistant, so we grew the whole range that is available, in a year that turned out to be particularly bad for Blight where we are, and along side common potatoes and compared their growth, yield and taste.
Check out this video to find out if Sarpo Potatoes really do tick all the boxes or not???

This week I'll receive Sarpo seedpotatoes of Mira, Una and Blue Danube that I will grow in pots in my tiny garden 🌱 Another vegetable that I only grow because of your inspiration ✨ Many thanks 🙏
Oh great, I hope they do well for you... The Mira can grow very big if you leave them in for a long season ... the foliage just regrows and they keep going. We just had home made chips for dinner tonight with the Blue Danube's - Trying to eat through our supplies as quickly as possible now, as they will soon be going past their best ... still delicious tonight though 😋✌️🌿
You don't have to discard green potatoes. Save them for next year and they can be used as 'seed potatoes' with no problem. Great video... love your channel!
Great idea Katrina - Thank you for sharing - Glad you are loving the channel too 🙏✌️🌿
Green potato's make excellent seed
Very interesting triall and review. Many thanks for digging up all that info for us. Thanks also to Millie and Murphy for their interest !!
Our pleasure ... Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully got some useful info 👍 Ha, Mille & Murphy are always interested in fresh veg! Thanks for commenting and for the dog appreciation too 🙌✌️🌿
great vid, looks like i picked a cracker in kifli. they,ll be going in tmorra morning.
Looks like you have a nice day for it if your in the UK!
Just watched this video again in preparation for next year. My Sarpo Mira, Cara and Pink Fir Apple did very well this year…
Yay - glad you’ve had a great harvest and glad the vids still help 💚 we’ve harvest all except Mira, which we are leaving a little long to hopefully get some really big potatoes - our harvest so far will be in this weeks vids 🙌🙏✌️🌿
thank you for sharing ,potatoes are my favorite meal and banana
A pleasure, great, we love bananas and potatoes too, we cant grow banana fruits here though!
Thanks guys for that, spuds are our biggest calorie year round. Sarpo varieties have naturalized here, probably from our community garden waste drop off. I confirm blight resistance and shallow production. As consequence they may require more work with mulching up to protect from sun, possibly less drought resistant than conventional. I'm mostly a functional monkey but sarpo brings a contrast of colour and variety. I find the beauty of potatoes grown as a polyculture are underrated, the flowers are numerous and not unlike small daffs, beauty and food now thats a powerful combination.
Thats great to hear guys! Do you recall which varieties you have growing there? Yes your right...the flowers are just as beautiful as plants we grow just for flowers! Do you any other non sarpo varieties you find good?
@@freedomforestlife I'm unsure what varieties we have as things continually turn up in the mulch. Rather than planting, we decide what lives, also it has to survive how we garden which is minimum intervention. Rather than do the most i intentionally abandonment to establish a plants minimal requirements, opposite to every gardening book. Some really useful plants have turned up and survived, elephant garlic, three cornered leek, sorrel... Progressively minimized annuals to beans, squashes, toms and beetroot are acceptable and worth the returns, but always experimenting and looking for other wild foods to cooperate with.
Thanks for the video. Nice that you show that you should not grow potatoes in this way. Fortunately, there are now more varieties available than the Sarpos. Greeting from a potato breeder from the Netherlands.
Hi, thanks for commenting. We'd love to hear if you have any varieties you particularly recommend which offer good disease resistance similar to the Sarpo ... and that taste great of course. We are always keen to learn and try new plants and varieties ✌️🌿
👍👍👍
Are you going to let the green ones go to seed for next season?
Brian! Yes we have ended up saving the 'seed' potato size tubers and bigger for next year, have around 20kg of all the varieties...with the proper care hopfully wele have loads of big ones for making chips next year! Thanks for your comment, great minds think alike..
Maybe put a few in tin foil with some butter and herbs and put em in the embers yum
Thanks Brian, thats a great idea how we could cook the roasting/fluffier ones 👍
Don't discard the green potatoes. Save them for seed potatoes.
Pam thanks, we did end up saving them as we harvested, so got plenty of seed for next year! Thanks for you comment!
