- Filmed on August 15, 2024. We begin the day off with picking a little bit of sweetcorn and cantaloupes, and then finally pulled our candy Onions. Here is a video of us planting the candy onions: • WE PLANTED SOMETHING S...

We need to see more videos with family. Family life is the most interesting to watch. Children ,parents, wife, grandparents etc.
Kids grow up so quick 🇳🇿❤️
Love those plants from Dixondale! I used to grow all my own. Once I found Dixondale, no more seed starts for me! Candy is a favorite of mine too! Texas Legend not far behind! Man, you ain’t kidding about that morning glory! I fight it constantly too! Can you believe some people plant that stuff??!!
I was actually thinking today “I need to look and see if he has an onion video.” And BAM!! There it is!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
It is amazing to me what names are given to plant types. The seed growers certainly have imagination when deciding names...
I just purchased a polyplanter Jr. for green beans and it worked great planting two rows of beans on a row of plastic. It will be a game changer if it works as good planting pelleted candy seeds, it takes up a lot of space starting them in the bedding plant house. I had the same problem with my candy being taken over by morning glories.I used a weed eater with a carbide saw blade to cut the vines off and the tops of the onions, pain in the butt. Thanks for taking the time to post all the videos, it's great seeing how you do things, sometimes the same, other times something different.
Thanks for sharing Wayne That’s a great idea with the weedeater! I also have a poly planter Junior that I bought about five or six years ago to use to plant spinach and lettuce and beets on plastic. It worked OK but didn’t have very much success with it so it’s just been sitting on my barn collecting dust.
What a great video, I love the scene of harvesting fruits and vegetables with my family.
The local killdeer wants a cameo in one of your videos. It sure is talking already about it being a birdly star.
No wonder you need to sell so much produce that many kids in college lol awesome video
Only two and one of them graduates this year
Congrats on your son finishing the nursing program. Great choice of careers.
Awesome video and beautiful produce. It is great to hear the young adults listening to good wholesome music when packing the corn. It defines them as great humans. :)
Another impressive video.
Thanks!
I remember about 3 weeks ago you pointed out Gavin and Natalie standing by each other when they got back with a truck 😀 Glad to hear they are pursuing their education and future careers 👍 may the Good Lord continue to bless, protect and provide for your family 🙏 another good video 😀📸💯
The fruits look so juicy and fresh
Tasty and delicious! Thanks!
love the content as always, Jason!
Thank you I appreciate you watching!
Ok folds. Let's share this with our friends so this channel can continue to grow. It's a great channel 👍
Thanks so much Jason!
What are those colorful heads bobbing among the veggies? Oops they are the pickers taking care of business. How grand is your sharing. God bless you and your clan and crew.
Every video makes me want to go hunt down some sweet corn!
We’re coming into our final month of sweetcorn season, my how this season has flown by!
@@wishwellfarms Lots of good looking onions as well! Good crops this year for most part looks like!
A Gopro chest harness for pov shots would be really cool
Greetings from malta ❤
wonderful!
Its nice to get free labor from all those kids picking corn, i just bought some corn at walmart in la for 50c each or 39 for a smaller one.
No free labor, this is these kids summer job saving for college, I pay them very well.
Always an interesting video! Just curious, are ticks a problem in your fields? Thanks for the explanation of the vines and flowers, I've been wondering about them. Thanks for continuing to share your what you do.
Tics are bad one backpacking, but I’ve never gotten one from our fields
Great video. Those were some monster melons. Don't think I've ever ate one that big.
For your onions, I never seen anyone let them dry out in the open like that. How much will a rain or 2 affect them. If, for some reason, u had a few rains on them while they r trying to dry, does that increase thw chance of spoiling? My guess is one rain will just set the drying time back a day or 2, but does an excess amount of moisture affect them in the field like that
Thx for the video
And just to think this year I had such a hard time trying to start morning glory here. How much are your onions at the market
Haven’t decided yet but probably $1.95 a pound
What happens if the onions are out drying and they get rained on? Does that cause issues with how long they store? Also do you keep onions in your cooler or just in the barn dry? Thanks
doesn't hurt them at all, they dry right back out. What hurts them the most is leaving them in the ground for a few days too long. We store them in our 60 degree F cooler and they will all be sold in 4-5 weeks.
Call your extension office…I am sure if anyone has the answer to morning glories, they will.
Is there a selective or systemic herbicide you can use to control or eliminate those morning glories? Looks like it would have to help the cantaloupes and all the other crops they invade.
Not that I’m aware of, the pre-emergent holds them back for quite a while, but eventually they’re unstoppable. The only cure is to rotate all that field for a couple years and put soybeans there.
I don't remember a video showing you planting the onions. Did you do one? Do you plant using bulbs or actual transplants?
WE PLANTED SOMETHING SWEET IN OUR FIELD!

Sorry, I forgot the link it in the description
@@wishwellfarms
OK, I do remember watching that video now. Thanks.
I wish my onion would get that big I must being buying the wrong kind what type do I need to buy to get big ones to put up for the winter
The actual variety is called Candy onion and we get them from Dixon Dale Farms in Texas
We dont have that morning glory weed here.
I guess its resistant to pre-emergent weed sprays ?
Seems to be, need to rotate to a new field
What do you do for staff when the teenagers go back to college?
That’s a great question, this makes things very, very tough and it’s the same problem I’ve been dealing with for nearly 15 years. Before that I would try to hire a lot of college kids that went to Ohio State because they didn’t start till September 20 but now it seems like everybody starts about the third week of August, so I have adjusted my growing to accommodate that. Patches that we are harvesting now are much smaller. We start eliminating a few of our weekday, farmers markets, and always send our mobile trailer out three days a week instead of six and the big one for this year is that we quit growing pumpkins and mums so we will be closing down our Markets After the first week of October. Fortunately, I have a brother, a son and a nephew and two hired adults they can still help me.
Thanks.@@wishwellfarms
Sorry to be a bother, but do you have turkeys? Where I dwell in Nebraska, there are lots of turkeys and they always leave a feather memory as a treasure.
Lots of turkeys around here, but they don’t come close to our vegetable fields, they stick to the woods
How many hours a year are you putting on the 3020? Seems like its running in almost every video.
Approximately 150 hours a season
Have you ever use a corn silk roll it like Plastic.that use for weed control biodegradable
We use almost all bio gradable Plastics, it’s a cornstarch-based and it works excellent
One thing I can tell for sure-modern music,accompanying sweet corn packing , is a disaster. Nothing beats music from 80-90's.
Amen.
What happens with the plastic?
It is cornstarch based and biodegradable.
That is very nice and thank for helping me learn.
