I've been waiting forever for this plant to die, and today is finally the day. I'm going to be digging my potatoes, and I hope I actually get something. The first thing I'm going to do is just dig around the plants just a little bit. All right, this is our first one. I also stuck an extra one in the middle here. This is the original. It grew this big green plant, and then it made all these babies. That's what we got from about 6 plants. Not too bad. I like these. These are so pretty. These are definitely good for you. Oh, this is getting heavy. This is like French fry potato, you know? Got all these just out of about 5 plants. Oh, so pretty! I didn't do any of the hacks. I literally just stuck them in here and didn't cut them up, and then I just let them sit in here. That was it. This one I experimented. I have like the same sandier soil in here. You can kind of tell. This is what we got. Oh, it's getting heavy. Tell us how many pounds you think we picked.
