I know this video is 6 years old, but those little lads will never forget times like these. In the garden with Mom and Dad, playing in nature yet learning at the same time. Best thing ever!
We always did a garden for the children to learn. They always enjoyed to get the fruits of their labor. What they are doing with their kids is priceless. My kids are all grown up but they all still do a garden every year.
@@alexanderj.mendez3815 that's exactly what I mean. And I'm sure they will pass it on to their kids as well.
Someone is going to need this concept in 2022...and the next few years.
They need to teach more skills like this in public schools
Not in America lol
No, they don't! There are some things that should still be taught at home. Schools have more than enough on their plates.
@@deborahpinkey1264 they could teach this instead of critical race theory
@@kauaicouple god damn I can smell the Doritos and white privilege radiating off of you
@@seneca5925 what are you even talking about you moron?
This is what a stable family looks like, great harvest
As a teacher, it's great to see how excited the boys are and how they freely express themselves by talking to their parents and they don't see it as work! So Cool!!
I love when kids are so excited about growing their own and are included in all of it. It’s the best teaching and appreciation.
it might seem to be just a video about potatoes, but seeing these cute boys exciting is really heart warming. #goodparenting
I still remember planting and digging up potatoes with my grandparents back in 70’s and 80’s. Its like finding a gem in the dirt.
"don't drop it in, set it in nicely." as everyone practically throws them in. LOL :D cute family project. love it.
What a great way to involve the whole family while teaching the children where our food comes from. Excellent parenting for you both.
Good mother. You can tell that she takes good care of her boys! God bless!
Watching this in 2021, just to see that you posted another harvest recently. It’s so cool seeing how much everyone has matured. What a beautiful family. 🥰
Welcome back! Yes I was just telling my husband we need to do a evolution video of all of our potato harvest. I published 2020 harvest 5 minutes ago.
Watching the kids have fun and being so excited is so adorable. What fun thing to do with little ones. Great job on potatoes 🥔 👏
I love how excited the kids were! Good job mom and dad
Melissa ~ I got such a giggle when your son yelled "tomatoes!" Thank you for teaching them where our food comes from.😀❤💚💙💜😘
Love how excited the boys were about digging out potatoes.
Potatoes are a treasure hunt its fun
Tomatoes 😂 how sweet in their little boots getting dirty! Makes me so excited for harvest with my 2 year old. Keep up the dirt learning 💙
Probably going to echo alot of sentiment, the best thing y'all did was get those little guys involved. They love dirt. Gets them outside, they literally learn to get their hands dirty, and is good for their dexterity as they are developing. Amazing discovery for them, the care and time involved in agriculture. Very counter to the instant gratification culture we live in. Enjoy them, you won't get the time back. Ours is 27 now. Thank you for sharing, trying to gather potato growing ideas. I had the opportunity to be around agriculture as a kid, it has it's own rhythm to it re: elbow grease, timing, and care. Take care of those little ones, be safe, and God bless
Love the excitement of your kids! So great to let them see where their food comes from! Awesome video!
Kids need to know how to work in the garden and be outside doing work good job mom and dad
This is the best potato dump I've seen. That's because they did it smart and put a tarp down to salvage the growing medium they have mixed and I think it's awesome.
A gardening victory! In a Victory Garden? I think what makes this work is the moisture that the plastic barrel preserves.
The Tower system using wire mesh in the shape of a barrel allows surrounding air to wick all the needed moisture right out of the fully exposed walls of the Tower. Great job!
A good way to raise kids in contact with nature and not in front of a TV.
Yes so true. They love it
Amen!!!
I strongly agree.
This just brought tears to my eyes. I remember my kids digging up our potatoes and they were just as excited as these boys. You'd swear we dug up gold.
Thank you for doing this with your kids. A great example you are to them. I hope you continue to provide this type of experience and they gain a passion for it in the future.
Congratulations on your beautiful family... the potatoes are nice too but involving the kids like this is pure gold.
So nice to see the lil guys helping! So adorable!!!
I love the excitement the little boys are showing! Its like Christmas!😁😁😁
So nice seeing your kids helping you. They will learn to appreciate food and nature.
eminabbe Thank you, they love being little helpers
*Watching a talented machinist is like watching an artist paint or sculpt. Beautiful work*
Thats an amzing harvest and a very good bonding time with the family especially the kids, they get trained in an early age to get into gardening... Love this video!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Game
yes congrats to both of you for not only being excellent parents but being a great role model for your children and showing them how easy it is to be able to raise your own food !
Thank you! You made my day.
I think depending on where you live depends on what kind of potatoes you can grow!!! It’s a zone thing! What a lovely family teaching the kids and being outside together!❤️ love your video!!!
AAAAWESOME OF AWESOMENESS!!! IT'S NOT JUST THE ADORABLE KIDS AND THE BEAUTIFUL WIFE AND THE YUMMY POTATOES, BUT THE WAY YOU HAVE ANSWERED ALL THE COMMENTS MAKES ME SUPER HAPPY. BECAUSE IF I MUST TELL YOU THAT I COMMENTED ON A LOT A LOT OF VIDEOS HERE AND NO ONE EVEN BOTHER, AND THERE IS WHERE I GIVE YOU A 10+ FOR ANSWERING THE COMMENTS, IT REALLY SHOWS YOU APPRECIATE. I/WE REALLY APPRECIATE TOO THAT YOU SHARED THANKS A BUNCH, AND MORE PLS. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOU FAMILY.
+Rose Rafaela glad you got your reply to comment setting fixed =) and i'm glad you saw my message
Why aren't those kids inside playing video games? What kind of parents are you? (Say the 13 thumbs down.)
This is so wonderfully heartwarming, thanks for sharing!!
+kelhawk1 I know right! I'm such a mean Mom, making them dig in dirt lol Thank you for watching!
Yes, these kids are missing zombie gene. You are missing out guys, educate yourselves :)
What kind of sick person would thumbs down this video? I have two boys who were thirteen months apart. Kids learn so much at this age. Happiest time of my life maybe theirs too. Let's you know God is net fully fed up with us yet.
What kind of parent are you to say video cams that's not a good thing for kids to be doing
@@MomsSimpleLife lol
I think next year we are going to have more than one potato Barrel... Maybe 3 different types of potatoes
Moms Simple Life What type of potato were those? Looks like they actully did put off tubers high up in the barrel. Seems to be very specific to the particular strain of potato.
Great to see your boys excited about helping out.
Here is updated video from this year on what I did last year ua-cam.com/video/a8VPBGyzI_o/v-deo.html
I hope this helps you find the right potato. My kids love to garden. Thank you for watching!
Moms Simple Life Great video. Your sons are having tonnes of fun outside with the family.
My children and I grow pumpkins for halloween.
I am doing that next year. Thanks for the idea.
Thank you, your kids will love it!
+Moms Simple Life
i read the first line and since i don't speak english very well i though you got only ONE potato in all buck lol
This was a first for my. My husband and I thought this is a great way to grow potatoes. Your yield was blessed and increased greatly. Your kids looked like they really enjoyed helping to gather the produce. 🙏♥️
I just love how kids got super excited when they saw the potatoes. My kind of family. You guys are amazing!
Your boys are so cute. What a great family project. Love it.
Thank you, they are getting so big now. =(
This is so cool you involving your children in the gardening process , keep teaching them they need to know how to grow their own food , this is great for them , and awesome memories for you and them , my hats off to all of you
😭😭They're soo ADORABLE!!!
I get just as excited harvesting crops as they do and those taters are beautiful!.
Awesome job. I especially like how you include the children in the fun. Good job mum and dad!
Thank you for all of your nice comments, my kids want to dig up the sweet potatoes now =) In a few weeks we will have another video of our sweet potatoes harvest.
LOL I do tape pics of the toys on their toy bins, so they know where they go, does that count? lol
Moms Simple Life TOOO precious!! : ) Thanks for sharing! : )
P.S. I just began growing potatoes. I started one set last year, and didn't realize that because they were small, that I needed to add the layers of dirt (mulch & pine needles). I found your video and a few more very helpful. Thank you once again.
Thank you, that means a lot to me =)
+Moms Simple Life awesome!!!! i am trying to grow ghost peppers,so far no luck,maybe i try potatoes instead.
+Moms Simple Life LOL
Good stuff. I'm so glad to see your whole family involved in the harvest. You guys are doing the right thing. Please post more videos.
Daniel Hoae'ae-Lewis thank you, don't forget to subscribe and check out our play list for other videos like this one.
Reminds me of when I was little like them. My Great Grandfather took us to his garden and used a pitchfork, turned over the soil and "magically" potatoes appeared. We were working but it was more like a game.
I love how excited your boys are!
We're doing this with two rubbermaid garbage bins and it seems to be working great. The plants are thriving and have reached 3 ft above the rim of the pails. Just waiting for harvest time now. Love looking at them grow!
I'm so excited too. One of our barrels flowered like crazy this year, I hope that's a good sign lol
Beautiful family time spent doing something fun and healthy! God bless!
It didn't matter what you spent on the seed potatoes, the barrel, your time or the water. The education you gave your kids was absolutely priceless.
And to think they will be able to watch this video in years to come. upload it to any and all free storage sites.
+jus4funtim Thank you! I hope my kids will continue to love to grow. I wish they taught growing your own food in school.
Great video, fun to watch the potatoes fall out of the soil and delightful to watch you as a couple, sharing the joy of growing with your little farmers in training.
Congratulations on a great yield. I love the Mittleider gardening method.
So refreshing to see quality family time. Nice job parents.
Rowwdy Colt Thank you!
Awesome love the gardening. And the fun the boys had.Great job keep up the good work mom and dad.
Kids are the best and worst mirror of a parents true self. Great job y'all!
This is GREAT FOR THE CHILDREN.
Now they know fries do not come from a golden arch cardboard container 😆
I grow potatoes on a 600 acre farm . Maybe I should switch to sawdust and sand. It's funny how over the years , Commercial farming has been improved by back yard gardening tips brought to light by amateurs.
😨
Do you really think so, and not by universities..? i'm in Britain by the way...
Did you make the switch this year?
@@jessicasparr2714 I changed over 210 acres to this method with epic results of +17% productiin and harvesting EDL.
@@ivyandroses4373 wow 17% that's pretty amazing!
I did layers of wood shavings and 3in1 sand,soil, compost. I'm hoping for 25% this year.
this is how America should be good video
+lets go eagles Yes I totally agree! thank you for watching!
@@MomsSimpleLife GOOD FAMILY 😘😘✌✌ FROM MEXICO
You Rock it mommy!!! You picked the perfect grow medium and again you did the feeding perfectly!!! Awesome job!!! I’m an old time farmer, two thumbs up!!!
What a lovely family and those bambinoes are truly cute. Thank you for the post. Enjoy your farming.
good parenting teaches kids hardwork with fun and quality bonding family time.. I love watching your family especially the kids participating with the harvesting of potatoes.. good job ! from the Philippines with love!
Thank you, that means so much to me to hear that. =)
Love it how they say tomatoes. They are so cute. I love there excitement.
That is so much fun. How refreshing to see parents taking time to do something outside with their kids. I am starting my potatoes soon. Thanks for the tips! ❤
Great to see. The kids really are excited to see the results. Like magic!
The boys are the real star of the show! :)
Good job guys.
+GerryStilton Thank you! The boys love re watching this video.
Wonderful to see kids learning at such a young age, what city kids get robbed of.
I agree, we are hoping to buy another property in a few years with a lot more land to grow more food.
City kids don’t necessarily need to be “robbed of” such experiences. I grow potatoes, tomatoes and raspberries on my balcony plus herbs and flowers. They take up all the space but I love looking after them. My son doesn’t care at least he knows how to grow them.
This video should be labelled / named as cuteness... What a wonderful family you have.
Something the children will remember when they grow up it is so good it makes my heart feel good
TOMATOES!
No!!! POTATOES
Haha
Hahah
Potatos.
No Red potatoes
This is what good parenting looks like, America. Take notes.
+Angus McCoy Thank you! We try our best to raise the best gentlemen as possible.
Not only good parenting that's what a good and valuable housewife looks like. Homemaking is a lost and undervalued skill. All hail the housewife!
Absolutely spot on.
Totally agree ... Great parenting! Teaching those boys some USEFUL skills growing their own fresh, food. And little boys love to play in the dirt. Reminds me of when my son was little. We are only starting to learn to grow some of our own food. Wish we would have done it sooner.
Bullshit, sitting your kids in front of an ipad watching pop twerking videos is the way to go.
The Best Yielding Potatoes I have Seen SO FAR, in a Small Container, job well done!
they are so excited digging! God bless you and your family! thanks for sharing
"Tomatoes!" :-) I love this, they are SOO cute.. And I am going to try this, thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching! I hope you have great success too
Moms Simple Life You're welcome and thank you :-)
nice to see the kids getting involved:)
Your Videos are great! I find solace watching people cook but this is way more enjoyable and fulfilling! thanks for putting it out there. I lived in Gig Harbor on a small farm back in 1980 and enjoyed the mild weather but now I am in Maine with a very short growing season and trying my best to adapt.I plan on trying container gardening this year and need all the help I can get. I have moles and many pests here and the soil is mostly clay. My potatoes died last year and other vegetables did poorly. My herbs are doing well and most are getting through the winter. Your children are awesome and you are a wonderful person to help your family learn about growing; it is such a positive thing to grow your own. When I see families like yours doing what you are doing it gives me hope for the future of our people. I hope to build a greenhouse soon . I have been saving seeds from everything I buy rather than throw them away. It is very fulfilling to see a plant grow and make food that can recycle. All my best to you and your future endeavors
urazzholes Thank you, It's important to teach the next generation what is not being taught in schools. I have neighbor kids that come over to help harvest veggies too, they show a great passion for growing too. You may get help from kids in your area, I usually allow them to take most of what they harvest. I wrote an article on the 6 laws of plant growth, which is something I learned from the Mittleider Gardening Course book. I use to kill all my house plants, but I wanted to grow food for my family. I did a lot of research on what I want to grow and how to grow them. I kept going back to the Mittleider gardening method. I hope this helps you have a successful garden this year.

What are wonderful Mom n Dad.... teaching your boys how to do gardening....life time storys of the kids❤️❤️
The children are so adorable.
The kids exiting and happy, tomateos tomateos,""" mom photetoes"""", so cute 💖
I am very proud of you mom and dad for what you are teaching your kids. They will never forget what they learned from you both. Keep up the the wonderful work.
Mila's Garden Diary Thank you so much, that means so much to me. Thank you for all your support =)
Look at the little guys getting excited over potatoes. So cute
+Sue Lyn Thank you, they love their tomatoes, I mean potatoes ;)
Well done folks ... love your kids getting their hands dirty, there should be more of it.
+Roger Simpson Yes I agree, thank you for watching!
If you plant 12 barrels for every month and re-plant every month, you can have fresh ANYTHING every single month!
Depending on the local heat, sun, Temps etc. Some things won't grow in hot weather.
jim a and other things do. You can grow seasonal
Nice harvest! The grow barrel was a great success! And reusable!
What a beautiful family!!! Love the barrel idea too!!!
good job guys!
+darkangelsoaps Thank you!
I came looking for container growing potatoes....
I left laughing about 'tomatoes'....."Look at this one!" "Take a picture of this"
Thank you so much for the inspiration!!!! I’m trying container gardening this year for the first time and this is on my to do list!!
Loving the family vibe of love. Thank you.
great parenting!
wow awesome harvest
Thank you for watching and subbing!
These children are having fun and I'm sure it's amazing to see these things
Wonderful. I love seeing children playing in clean mud. Nothing is wrong with mud. Keep doing what you are doing parents. This is the real face book I'm seeing here. Keep planting!
I'm going to have to try this! Nice job!
+George Adams Thank you!!!!
20 pound . that's huge. Thanks to the happy family
It was 19.4 minus the weight of the pail 1.6 lbs = 17.8 lbs. Why do people exaggerate so?
Nice to see a family enjoying themselves from their garden efforts !!
