CARDBOARD BOX POTATO HARVEST

[@tracyruth4247]

I had to laugh...Mr. H is like ' the water can wait, I want to play in the dirt'!😄 You can see his excitement, and yours too, Mrs. H! Nice harvest!

One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes four, plant em in a box and grow some more! Fun video.

[@KIMBERLYKELLEY-r1q]

Ohhhh I am so delighted to have found you both, and cats,chickens, and goats. Lol. I am a 70 Year old disabled, great grandma to 11. I want to grow things in God's soil that was blessed and given as a gift to all of us. Thank You and Blessings to you and your family. ❤❤❤❤

Man I wish I was y’all’s neighbors! Y’all seem like awesome people

[@lytriciamitchell6763]

I'm sold on this idea

[@RndmGuy48-t1b]

@@lytriciamitchell6763the chemicals in the card board and ink do make me wonder. But love HH, so don’t think I’m judging by any means please. I often find myself a little jealous tbh😂

You two have the sweetest love for each other ❤

I am a new gardner for two years now. I want to tell you and Mister H. that I LOVE you two! I enjoy your love displayed for one another as you work together in the garden. Thank you for blessing us with your wisdom, experience, share your garden bounty , and knowledge.

Bless his soul.

[@kathycrawford8777]

My Grandma would take those itty bitty potatoes, make a white sauce and add sweet peas. It was so good. One of my favorite memories from 60 years ago.

[@sandraking9650]

@Kathycrawford8777, my words exactly!!! Something I loved, plus fresh strawberries with cream saved from milking. Memories

[@JCPDBRC]

After watching your planting video, I planted some in a cardboard ox myself to try that out. Seems to be growing well. I wish more KZbinrs would spread ideas like this. Great job! Thank you so much.

[@ms.sunshinesue8719]

After seeing your initial video on the boxes I said I can do this! Planted mine in flower pots, tires, and boxes. Then started mators in boxes. Live in apartment with a yard about 12 by 16. All things are doing okay. So glad for the harvest, blessings of food. My grandfather had a garden and we all worked in it. He was a WW1 veteran and had some fingers missing from his left hand. I asked him one day how he lost his fingers, he said digging tators. Put my hand in that dirt and druw back some nub finger. That always scared me about digging tators. Found out later he lost his fingers in France during the war. Thank you for teaching us.

[@kathleendavis2008]

🤣🤣😅 ty for sharing the story, my heart needed that!❣️

[@redgingerbreadpam]

That was a funny story. Gotta love Grandpas with humor around the grandkids. 😂

[@sandramoultrie2794]

Mrs. H makes digging for potatoes so exciting! I love the way her and Mr. H work very well together as a team. Thank you for sharing.

[@Wendybil1]

Those little "nubs" are perfect for "new potatoes and peas!" Yum!

[@nancybrooks-hartz8807]

You and Mr H are so great together !! You make me smile while you tease and play !!

[@vidasustentavel9465]

It's really cool to see people growing their own food. It would be great if more people acquired this habit. In addition to improving our health by consuming healthier foods, we contribute to preserving our planet by reducing the use of pesticides. Congratulations on sharing your knowledge and experience with us.

[@jamiejocribbs9216]

I absolutely LOVE your squeal when you pulled up the first potato plant!!!

[@aliciadeffes9959]

Me too!

[@glendawaterfill1962]

You all are just too cute! love to watch you dig potatoes!

[@libbyleatherwood6940]

Who would have known you could plant potatoes in boxes! Ya’ll are so cute! My husband and I are 76 and digging potatoes planted in the ground is tough! Thank you for sharing with us, we will be doing this next time, we just dug ours recently. Appreciate your videos! Hugs from south Alabama!

[@maryhunteraustin2914]

Nice yield, good. harvest. Pretty rose-colored potatoes

[@sylvialyles919]

I do see those beautiful potatoes BUT my 👁 👁 s instantly went to those watermelons 🍉 😮😊😊 in the background!!!❤❤❤

[@giselelavallee7259]

My husband just said, these two just love each other so much and it shows!!! So nice!!!!

[@OrganicMommaGA]

Thanks so much for sharing your harvesting these potatoes! What a great demonstration of saving food bought at the store to multiply your grocery dollars! Grow your groceries, y'all 😁 We did the same thing in big containers rather than boxes, but still pleased we didn't have to "throw out" sprouted 'taters. I never would have thought (before we grew some of our own) how much of a delight it is to dig potatoes and y'all showed how enjoyable it is! Thank you!

[@joycebegnaud9645]

Yes it’s inspiring and encouraging 🥰

[@jarnold20101]

Great harvest!😊

[@OrganicMommaGA]

@therealz 360z Pests can always be a concern, so you just have to do what works for you.

[@denisewilson8367]

​@therealz 360z they are never less than 89 cents a pound here.

[@amyschaefer1140]

@therealz360z7 you can put screening material under the boxes or containers to keep out any rodents.

[@llilsugar1]

That were very awesome 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍👍👍💕

[@thifasmom]

I have found growing potatoes in containers as you have done, that consistent and regular watering, so the soil doesn't dry out ensures a bigger harvest. For the amount of potting mix and the size of the boxes, I think your yield could have been 9lb per box min. Once you know your soil is high in the nutrients needed, then remember during the active growing period consistent watering is key. Good luck.

[@wild0bill055]

I'm glad to see soo many people having fun watching you two having fun! Enjoy yourselves! 😛🙏🖖✌️

[@sylvialyles919]

Great video!! Y'all rushed into those potatoes like kids tearing off wrapping paper at Christmas time, 😂😂 this looked like so much fun 😊😊

[@HOMESTEADHEART]

😄

[@Trish....]

Imagine if we planted all our leftovers, & composted the rest. We'd have tons of free food & soil, which has been God's plan for our survival all along. Plant, harvest, eat, then plant again, & so on... God gave our bodies all that we could ever need to survive, & all we have to do is either find it or grow it♡

[@travisvick9340]

We called digging potatoes, "grabblin'". It was like a treasure hunt. Moma always cooked the nubbns with sweet peas. Yum!

[@AnnaYAH5315]

That is absolutely amazing. Truly awesome...woohoo🤸🏾🤸🏾🤸🏾🤸🏾🤸🏾🤸🏾

[@PeggyAmaya]

I lived for years without water, back when I was young, and I keep a few 5 gallon water jugs close to the toilet for emergency flushing, and for a drinking water dispenser. Carrying your water gives you a respect for keeping some on reserve. You two grow such beautiful gardens.

[@barbarabrantley4779]

Yes it does. We did that when I was a kid. Bucket after bucket from a well. Hard work to haul water in a house where five people lived. Caught rain water in big containers. I appreciate having running water. Most people take it for granted. Not me. To this day I don’t waste water.

[@ANGEL-nc5lx]

You 2 are great. The way Mr. H was digging in there, I think he was really excited! 😄😄

[@faithunseen123]

From a true potato 🥔 lover,you two are in Potato Paradise ❤😂

[@ramonahierholzer3163]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that watching a "potato treasure hunt" is FUN!! 😂 Mrs. H, you're going to have to come up with a recipe for "Cardboard Box Potatoes". 🤣❤👍🙏

[@lucyfoster8624]

Red potatoes are called Russets. They are usually used for potato salad. The yellow potatoes are called Yukon Gold. The brown skinned potatoes are known as Burbanks. They are the go to for a baking potato. All or a combination of the kinds make a great mashing potato. I enjoyed the harvest video. Best wishes and looking forward to more fun videos.

[@NannyTam]

This was very exciting. We planted 9 store bought russet potatoes. Ended up with 14 plants. Can’t wait till harvest to see if we got anything. Love y’all’s excitement. “Wait for me, Mr H!” 😂😂😂

[@Bellz972]

That's pretty cool. U getting me motivated 😊

[@KimCarter-pd5lk]

I just love you both. You always come from a place of love & kindness. God bless!

Congratulations. Y’all did great. It makes my heart happy to see a couple working together. I never had a partner to help me. I did it myself. Use to have a beautiful garden but I’m to old now. I just have tomatoes and peppers. Grew a few potatoes in buckets.

[@clynthia0510]

It's been awhile since I spent time with yawl. You have brought joy to my heart! You all were my first introduction to gardening and homesteading. I have missed you. I feel bad that I haven't been paying attention. I got carried away with watching videos. Only the animals bring me the kind of joy that I get from watching you. Forgive me. 😢❤❤❤

There’s not much better than harvesting potatoes. How is it so much fun? Idk but I planted so many more potatoes this year than last because it’s so satisfying and fun to do! 🥰Great video!

[@KellieDTravis]

I grew left over red potatoes from the grocery store last year in 25 gallon grow bags and they did amazingly well. Planted more this year the same way. One bag is starting to show signs of dying back but the other one is still thriving and beautiful

Yeah Potatoes! Glad to see the potato harvest. There's nothing like home grown potatoes. Nice harvest. As a child I enjoyed helping to dig the potatoes and I still do. The boxes did good.

[@sandijammes7761]

I think those potatoes look fantastic!! I ALSO think Mr H might have been a little "heavy handed" with your spuds...KNOWING that damaged skins meant he could have mashed potatoes for his efforts in harvesting!! 😉🤭 He's a slick one!! 😂😂 (And a keeper, even if his motives HAVE been exposed now.) 😎 Great harvest you guys. Fun video as always. God bless you & yours!!🙏🙏
