Let's Harvest! Container Garden Potato Harvest 2023! 🥔🍠🌱

[@dawnsanchez8225]

Sprinkle cayenne pepper around what you are growing so what ever is eating and digging up your stuff won't go back to it

[@judylamantia9741]

Black pepper works too, squirrels and raccoons will still eat everything in site with or without pepper.

[@sallyapplegate4591]

Potato’s are so fun to harvest!!!! You did good!!!!😊

[@karenblackwell1577]

Those darn little varmints!!😸😸🥒🥦🥕🍅🌽🍆🫑

[@DumpsterCam]

Seriously ruining my harvest, but happy to have what I still do 😁

[@Laura-ih7vv]

Nice harvest!

[@cherylsalinas1548]

Awesome potatoes. Love them. Enjoy. Sorry about the rest of the crop. ❤️❤️❤️

[@rosaolbera8768]

You have a beautiful yard

[@DumpsterCam]

Thank you Rosa ☺️ Going to continue working on it each year to get better and better

[@noranalu5669]

Wow, beautiful garden.

[@patdeletfan2662]

you are amazing, love what you do!

[@staceypiper3319]

Well done on the taters and the kitties are always sweet to see

[@deidremcilwain6484]

Great harvest. I got about the same amount when I dug mine.

[@Ninja-Mama]

Fun!! Digging potatoes 🥔 is like winning or losing the jackpot! Never know what may be lurking in the dirt! 😊 The red ones are Pontiac Red potatoes. They keep for a long time if stored in a cool area. Potatoes should be harvested when the tops die off. Fresh green beans cooked with your new little potatoes would be fabulous! My neighbors built a fence out of free wooden pallets to keep the groundhogs out. It serves its purpose and doesn’t look junky either. ❤ Your garden looks great! Especially for your first! Michigan strawberries 🍓 are in and I recommend getting a few to eat and make one run strawberry freezer jar. 😋😋

[@gloriastroedecke2717]

I just watched 2024, your newest garden update. Somehow I missed this last year.

[@pennynickels5216]

💛🌻😊How cool is that? And tres fun! Who knew potatoes were so easy to grow? It makes no sense why they are so expensive here. Seems like everyone could grow them doesn't it? My friend has a city garden plot and she invited me along yesterday. I got to pull my own red beets, golden beets and carrots lol. It was great 😂😅

[@susancousins8766]

Awesome day for you Cam, so happy you plucked those potatoes 😊 they turned out great 👍🏻 Sorry your some plants were eaten. That’s what natural growing is all about unfortunately. Everyone has to eat even the pests 😂😂😂 glad you managed to get onions. They also look delicious 😋 until next time 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

[@christygreen9550]

Awesome potato haul. I'm a potato fanatic. Lol It's always discouraging when the garden gets eaten up.

[@samwright8599]

You did brill for first time. Each year your set up will get more sophisticated and in the end the critters won't stop by yours ❤❤❤❤

[@DumpsterCam]

Yes! It's fun to harvest this year, but even more fun to plan for bigger and better next year 😁 Thank you!

[@gloriastroedecke2717]

I am impressed with the potatoes. Getting hungry thinking of hash browns or simply boiled with salt,butter and parsley.

[@ritahall8653]

Great

[@jerseygurlmi4985]

Good to see you, girl. Missed you on here. You're doing great❤ 😊

[@DumpsterCam]

Thank you so much 😁

[@kathoakes929]

Considering its your first season with your veg you have done awesome! Congratulations! Sprinkle pepper round your veg it keeps the pests away. That's what my partner does. Good luck.

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

Oh I loved this Cam. Beautiful Bounty! Just wanted to share that it's not a good idea to reuse your soil, IF it has an infestation of any kind, like ants, spider mites, termites, etc. It will hinder a healthy crop. The chickens look wonderful as well as the fur babies. So sorry about your car. It's been quite a while in the repair shop. I hope they fixed it right. I can't imagine going to S. Carolina in this heat. You must have something good going on there. Just stay hydrated, stay safe and stay healthy. xo

[@Linda-in9ns]

Nice video thanks for sharing! 🌿🌱🪴🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@MagikalSeasons]

Great potatoes! You can reseed cukes. I use gallon milk containers bottoms cut off. Helps them grow faster keeps critters out while young. Then I'd try hot pepper critter spray it might work. I had to reseed my cukes my pet chipmunks dig them up.

[@brenyule]

That was exciting to watch you on earth, your potatoes, how fun❤

[@jeansmith5668]

Hats off to you! I tried three times to grow potatoes with 0 harvest lol

[@bettyhussong7527]

Have a designated garden area with only your vegetables and put a fence around it to keep the rabbits out. You may need to put a light screen wire over the top. Your veggies will do well when they don’t have to compete with the grass and weeds around them. We always had great producing gardens which we kept the weeds hoed. Your vegetables need to be planted different inches apart based on the vegetable. You can find all of that information online. Also, plants always do much better in the ground vs the pots. We also made what we called little hills to plant the potatoes.

[@bettyhussong7527]

Just trying to be helpful

[@cindykimmet4411]

You can also do some canning with the potatoes For the winter time

[@DumpsterCam]

So true! I still have a few cans that I did last year, I need to use those up!

[@berthabyrd6898]

You got some very nice potatoes,i told my husband that next year God willing we can do a couple of grow bag potatoes on our back patio,I love fried green tomatoes but haven't had any in years!~

[@DumpsterCam]

This is my first year growing potatoes, so easy and fun! I'm planning ahead to next year as well :) I hope you're able to do your potatoes then

[@jrae6608]

Kennebec and red Pontiac are good storing potatoes. Nice potatoes, potatoes would have gotten bigger if left till plant top died. Good learning experiece

[@rakamas]

Not bad at all...i noticed you were getting the side eye in the coop,lol.. Kippy and Gus look good, Gus looks very much better since the change in diet..Safe travels DC...❤️

[@DumpsterCam]

Thank you ☺️ Yes, haha, the chickens are much more comfortable around me, but still arent my biggest fans lol

[@Nemrai]

Potatoes are among the most fun vegetables to grow. Since you never quite know how much you'll get from them, potato sizes, etc. I'm growing potatoes as well, but it'll probably be at least another month before I take them up.

[@robinbadura2226]

Don't forget to let your potatoes and onions cure and dry out for a few days...the skin needs to dry out a bit so they can be stored.

[@keishaj.2001]

Seven Spray will keep the bugs from eating ur leaves. Old coffee grinds go to coffee shops they will give u their used grinds! Coffee is bitter and deer and other criteria do not like. Finally, Cayenne pepper, sprinkle around everything. God bless

[@cindykimmet4411]

We always harvest potatoes in the fall

[@nattyznook]

I love how you share about your gardening and canning. I know nothing about either but feel like I am learning so much from you.

[@Rip_800]

Girl, ever since I got my chickens this year I have dealing with serious sparrow and mice issues. My chicken coop is close to my garden and omg they have mobbing it along with eating my chicken feed. I had to cover my beds with chicken wire to keep sparrows away. Set out poison traps for the mice. I even bought a fake owl to help with the issue. Thank god the chickens are killers. They have killed 2 sparrows and one mouse that got in their run. They have eaten almost all of my mint, 3 watermelon plants, two pumpkin plants, 4 cucumber plants, 4 potato plants and all of my radishes. It’s been a rough summer

[@Jo.H.]

Hi Cam, you did so well, I bet they tasted lovely. Hope you get your car back soon, safe travels

[@DumpsterCam]

Thank you Jo 😁 It's looking like at least Tuesday now for my car unfortunately

[@cherylsummers4404]

You need to hill (mound up dirt around plant) them.

[@tammyreynolds4112]

Great little haul. What part of South Carolina will u be visiting. I live in the upstate area. Love seeing your little fur babies.

[@moann56]

🌸👍🏻🌸

[@MaureenByrnes]

✌🏻♥️

[@homeboundmama9968]

You didn't do anything wrong that's about what you would get from each planet or heal as the country folks call it. If it were planted in the ground.

[@DumpsterCam]

Oh awesome, thank you! I might plant a few more now for an early fall harvest too 😁

[@mellymelbell]

Yummy taters! 😋

[@kimrector8230]

Your suppose to leave the potato plants until the plant falls over

[@kimrector8230]

If you leave the old potatoes in the ground next year they will come back

[@lakeangel100]

The coop you have for your chickens; if buy another to keep animals out of your hard work. It would be worth it

[@DumpsterCam]

That's exactly what I was thinking! Or a few lol I already have the frame up around my garden area, so I just need to get it covered in wire 🤞

[@janejdough2230]

Please eat fresh with butter - I don't think curing is a good idea just was and cook in skins.

[@LW-tb3cz]

Those potatoes are going to taste better than anything you have ever had because you grew them.
