Hey Mrs. Heart, don't forget to sprinkle cinnamon around your boxes to keep the ants away!
Really? Does it work? Just cinnamon like you can get at the Dollar General?
And you for the great ideas and tips...I'm growing Fingerling Potatoes on the balcony
I ended up putting DM earth to keep ants away.
@@nancygrogan6082 Yes, I put cinnamon in my children's sand box. The ants stayed away and they smelled good.
O lord. Imma try this in my garden bed. Thank you
I think you are both such an adorable couple! I watch as much for the garden tips as I do to see how adorable you are together! Reminds me of all my old folks who are now gone . Appreciate your hard work and sharing!
Beautiful!! I love growing potatoes in boxes! Thanks to you guys my family is now eating homegrown potatoes. I learned from you, and I thank you so much for the teachings. I love you both so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Don't give up on the slow ones. I have one that took a whole month longer then the rest, but they finally made it. This is my first year actually growing them in a raised bed. I'm loving the garden this year.
This is what I was wanting to know. Mine are up in the boxes but I needed to know how you do this part. You are my inspiration! I learned how to can watching you. It’s been good putting up jars of home canned food. Rutabagas are next….just pulled them up. ❤ keep on inspiring everyone!
You two are ADORABLE together and makes for great viewing.
Yep, Love those guys!
We are planting water melons this week because you showed us how… thank you. You two are sooooo cute,.😉
Me too!
I LOVE MR. AND MRS. H!!
I'm interested in seeing how the potatoes turn out! Thank you, you two...🇺🇸 😎👍☕
I envy you all in the South because you all can start growing a garden so early! Thanks for all of your informative videos!
I've only begun two/three weeks ago here in the south, but everything took right off. The potatoes grew the fastest, but my tomato plants grown from seed are three inches already. Planted onions, asparagus crowns, took some of the tomatoes out of seed trays and planted them yesterday. I still have to get more storage tote raised beds ready to plant; melons, red potatoes, herbs, bok choy, peas, and get pots for my cherry type tomatoes, and hot peppers. Start your seed trays now, and put them in a south facing window.
I'm in northern Ohio. I started potatoes two weeks ago. They're doing great.
You just reminded me to fertilize my potatoes I have in buckets, grow bags, cerel bags..and yes-boxes! Thank you!
❤❤❤I so love y'all and your channel!! Keep up the great work!! Hugs!!❤❤❤
Hello Mr & Mrs H .God bless you.
Wish we could be neighbors. You guys are a blessing. ❤ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I got a roll of DUCK tape. I ran 2 strips across the bottom and ran 2 strips around the box. One strip close to the bottom sides of the box and a strip around the middle of the box so the box would not bottom out or bust along the seam. I planted mine the week before Good friday and 2 more boxes after good friday. The plants are so high and blooming now. I am so excited to watch them grow. We had a bad hail storm here last week and it did not harm my potatoes. I am in southeast texas
I watched your video and started my potatoes 🥔 in a box .
Thank you .❤ your show is awesome.
God bless
I did the for the first time last year. I put soil over everything. Bent over stems, whatever. They kept on poking up after new growth! Got some very nice baby potatoes.
I’m up here in Michigan and it’s been snowing today! I’m so ready for warm weather to get here and stay! Then I’m definitely doing the cardboard box method!
Im in Michigan also! Those snowflakes were about as big as my hand!
I third that! No planting potatoes yet here. 😂
I have two boxes of potatoes, one 5 gallon container, and two raised beds of potatoes. Tonight it hailed .... again ....... for about 15 min. Second time in two weeks we got hail, and I have 17 tomatoes on the vine! 😯
you have given me such a good idea for preparing a new raised bed. you guys are such a blessing.
I'm enjoying these potato videos. I'm getting little plants now .... can't wait until they are tall like yours. ❤️💓❤️❤️ I am trying to grow my groceries Mr. &Mrs. H.😄😂😋
Thank you, Mr and Mrs H. We have been trying to grow potatoes for a couple years and haven’t done very well. This is going to be our year, in Jesus’ name! Amen!
Amen
Hey Ya'll, greetings from Kansas. I love your videos. Just a suggestion, in your boxes/containers, do your 4 inches on the bottom, lay your seed potatoes, and cover with 3" to 4" of soil. Lay another layer of seed potatoes and cover with another 3" of soil. Then, keep on mounding up as they grow. It has worked great for me and doubles your harvest. That is the goal of gardening. Right?
I’m growing mine in laundry baskets ,lined with landscape fabric ( 11 of them) this year,,,, experimenting,,, so far so good! I’ve got my fingers crossed! 😊
Looks like a good way to grow some potatoes. I always enjoy your videos @ Homestead❤. Yes yes ya'll.
I love yall my potatoes seem to be growing fat too I can't wait to have some fresh potatoes I'm growing my potatoes in a green garden bag
You are a lucky man!
Having the flaps turned inward is making the boxes extra sturdy.
Hello 👋 HH I put one of my potatoes 🥔 in a box 📦 and it did great. They were so tall. My box did not fall apart thank you 🙏. Enjoy your videos
Cardboard decomposes, are great for mulch/ compost pile. After use. Worm food.
Also great weed barrier under soil in gardens. (Compost in place).
Love watching you
You guys are the cutest couple😊
Yall are so cute, thank you for sharing this way to plant and grow these potatoes. Ain't nothing better than new potatoes and greenbeans❤❤
I’m going to use the large black and yellow totes for my potatoes. I plan on using the lids as the water catchment underneath the tote.
Your potatoes growing in the boxes are looking really great! Thanks for sharing and Enjoy the rest of your Day, God Bless you. 🙏❤❤🙏
I’m going to have to save and watch later. This is what my grandson and I plan to do after the last frost.
Afternoon, scared of weather hopefullyy I will start by May!
Me too, our weathers still freezing at night.
I tried this box method and mine are growing and looks great. I am so excited. First time planting potatoes. Thank you so much , I love watching you guys. ❤
Thank you Homestead Heart! :)
I've learned so much watching your channel. One thing I've learned is to make use of what I have . Currently I have a lot of garden soil from bags that are filling my earth box planters and grow bags. But it's too dense or the plants to thrive. I decided to pick up compressed peat Moss, bag manure, and perlite in an effort to create my own planter mix when combined with what I have. What I don't have is the physical condition to mix all that soil together even in small batches. What I found online was a concrete mixer made to use a paddle in a bucket. It worked! By adding some amendments or mineral content and micronutrients I can now refresh my soil as I choose. One of the things I'm going to fill will be some of my cardboard boxes that's planters. Thank you we're leading the way.
Lovely❤ potato idea. When Mr. H pepper patch starting ❤ jalapeno popper time and Cajun potatoes yummy ❤luv y'all luv ur channel from Texas
&the cardboard will add matter back into your ground. Win-win situation. I've done mound without the cardboard,it a awesome way to grow your potatoes , even sweet potatoes.
Hello! I tried cardboard box on smaller scale. It will work with the heavier boxes as well as Walmart reusable bags. Not an abundant harvest, but it works.
It so nice to see Mr. H is all hands in. I'm gonna try put boxes over my potatoes and see if my free range chicken stops kicking my mound dirt alone!
I'm growing mine in a storage tote with holes drilled in the bottom, and set up on cement blocks. Planted onions, tomatoes, and asparagus, and peppers so far Still have to plant my melons, red potatoes, and herbs. I did over winter my thyme, but need to add some compost, and repot my avocado tree. It's a good foot tall now.
Awesome Idea on planting potatoes
Holy cow! My potato plants are going great! I decided that I would plant in boxes like you have, and I have never seen such strong plants!
Indeed, they are beautiful! Also, ya'll are such a beautiful couple.
Hey, yall, they looking good. Can't wait for the harvest. Mine is just starting to grow. Happy Gardening!
You have been a big help to me
Bottoms cannot dry out. They rot out. Trust me. I went to pick up a cardboard box that had been sitting on the ground. Sides were great! But, found myself looking at a hole where the bottom was at one time. 😂
Good afternoon 🌱🌞 Mrs Heart & Mr H
Very helpful.
Thank you for sharing
Have a blessed day.
Mrs.H andr.H I did this with you and mine look great thanks love you guys
If they bust out I’d put dirt around them!❤️❤️🌹🐩
What an adorable couple
I have done this while I got a lot of potatoes they were all very small. The size of large radishes.😂
Im growing my potatoes in wooden basket the fruits come in from the grocery store, they gave them to me for free! I love using my potatoes from my kitchen. Im growing sweet potatoes too!
Thanks for the reminder I need to hill mine up as well. ❤
Thank you Mr and Mrs h ❤
Hey mr. and mrs. H❤ I saw your hubby grinning in the background. Y’all have some good looking taters growing ❤
Great teaching us. I love hearing the roosters too
way to go hugs from pam and john keep it coming on video
I'm definitely going to try this on the next season. I've already planted mine in grow bags and 5 gallon buckets and they are growing well. Thanks for the inspiration
That’s neat!!
I love your videos. I’m so glad I found you. My potatoes are looking wonderful too.
Still waiting on my slips to arrive (too cold here anyway to plant) but I definitely need to get some out next week. Guess I'll be doing store bought if the seed potatoes don't arrive. You gave me a great idea today. I have a large tote just screaming to be used as a plantar and I'm going to use that for my potatoes this year. I normally do potato grow bags (and they do fine) but I can use those for my cherry tomatoes. I need extra tomato planters because I'm doing some crop rotation this year and I've had such good germination with my tomato seeds, I'd like to plant as many as I can. I'm all about the paste tomatoes because we put those up for sauce and salsa for the winter and I want to be sure I get a bunch this year. Anyway, thanks for the idea about using the large tote for my potatoes, that will work wonderfully for the two of us. I also realized the other day I bought 50 gallon and 100 gallon grow bags over the winter because I wanted to plant cantaloupe and corn this year. How exciting. It'll cost a small fortune to fill those bags with soil so I'm going to watch for sales. I'm going to do what you did and start my corn in cells because I always have to fight the chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits. I bought fencing to put around some of my crops so hopefully they won't get to it. I only have to find where I put it - LOL! Anyway, great to see you both. You always make me smile. You always make me laugh. I can't tell you how important those two things are when you are battling cancer and all that goes with it. It means the world to me to see you out working in the garden and every single time one of your videos end, I get up out of my chair and head to my "grow room" to check on things and get things done. You are both such wonderful motivators to us all! We all love you and pray for you both daily!
🙂TY FOR THE VIDEO 😊PEACE
Had a friend who laid down newspapers. Put her potatoes on top and covered them with straw. Lots of straw.
We don't eat potatoes anymore but definitely passing passing P in a Box Series on to my kids. Thanks for sharing!
This is exactly how we planted our potatoes! The only difference is we used the cheap bags of Topsoil mixed evenly with Black Kow and added some triple 13 and mixed it all together! We laid a plain Jane tarp under our boxes and it’s worked perfectly! As they grow we add more kow/soil mix! Just thought that may help others who can’t afford the more expensive garden soils! Ours are literally growing out of the boxes so yes it definitely works!
This is the part I didn't know how to do. Even my pots I struggled to get a potato. Thank u so much for posting this.
❤ I love watching you two. You make me smile. Those look like our boxes from County Market up here in east, central Illinois.
I've gone to container gardening since I've gotten older. I can grow a lot in a small space. Keep up the good work.
Your potatoes 🥔 look great!
I’ve really been enjoying watching y’all’s channel I’ve been doing the bucket method but it doesn’t work very good for me so I’m definitely going to be doing my potatoes like this next go round! 😅👍
🎉 blessings back to you!
Mine are doing great in boxes around the raised bed! Love your videos!
Tks for sharing this with us 😊
Thanks. I enjoy your channel and appreciate new ideas.
Hi Homestead Heart this is Brenda from Michigan, What a brilliant idea I will be trying this in my garden once were able to plant outside.Thanks thank you thank you. I got to try this I Iove all of your videos. Continued Blessings to you and Mr. Heart. Oh by the way the vegetables I bought from you are growing good in the hoop house.
If anyone is worried about the sides falling just add a couple stakes to keep the sides from falling.
Great job ty
I'm going out to the garden area to see if I can move some dirt around to plant my potatoes. Tonight we're supposed to get another freeze but I think it'll be the last.
Love❤ your yard!!! 😎👍🙏
Great information guys 😊
Awesome, Thank you!!!
You two are so cute! I love the container idea to grow anything. I’ve also used straw bales which is another great option.
God bless you❤
Love your videos!! Love potatoes!! I learn something every time I watch!!! You’re a wonderful couple!! Blessed too!
Here in Texas I planted my potatoes back on march 9th in my raised bed. They are almost 2'tall and 2'wide. I even have flowers on them. if you box ones do good I will do that next year and save my raised beds for other veggies.
I have potatoes about 14 inches tall dark green foliage, looks so pretty and I have even added dirt and hilled them up. A corner by my steps my old dog had dug him a cool deep hole by the steps in the back yard. Being lazy I decided to fill it with peelings and old veggies and make it a compost place. I added old potatoes thinking they would rotten and the nice compost I could plant a pretty flower. Not a flower but very pretty potatoes I think they started growing in March, I planted my potatoes in rows Good Friday, so my red potatoes are a couple of inches tall, my white potatoes are sprouting but aren't above soil yet. I don't think my compost potatoes will do anything too crowded but they sure are pretty.
Hi Homestead Heart I am growing potatoes for the first time since we moved here to NY. And I'm praying we don't get any cold snaps after I plant. I think I'll be doing the box metbod this year.
This is a great idea. I can't wait to see how this progresses.
You guys are adorable ❤
The other day I thought you said it was the Yukon gold in the boxes. The reason I remember that is because you commented how tall they were and mine are tall as well.
Maybe a small kiddie pool on a porch to put the box in
Oooohh they are beautiful! ✌️ ✌️ 💜 💜
Great idea!
I love Yukon Gold. I love the idea. I am dreaming of following your project and hope not to miss a step.
Thanks for sharing.
I can't wait to grow potatoes like you're doing!
Thank you for this idea of growing potatoes in a box I had some that needed planted and copied your box growing. Mine have just started coming up so I’m following your potato updates closely!!!
Hi , Mr H & Miss H, and everyone else Moniee-Mon, is listening thanks ♥️ ❤️ 😊 🙏 keep it going 2023 09 June
