Sing us a verse of this while sowing next time. I reckon that you both can sing. 🎵 🎵Inch by inch, row by row Please bless these seeds I sow Please keep them safe below 'Til the rain comes tumbling down🎵🎵 Yea, I think that if we all are honest we have said, in the Fall of a poor return, “Never again”!! Then Spring comes and off we go again. Inch by inch row . . . .
I looked up the song. Pretty tune! I'll see what I can do. And yes I've been saying "never again" for quite a few years. But deep down it's really a joy.
What a great video. This takes me back, seeing the huge garden like my grandparents had a long time ago. My dad always talked lovingly about the Mpls Moline on the farm where he grew up.
Thanks for taking the time to watch it Lee. Your dad was right Molines are the kind of tractors you really grow fond of. Course they give you some grief here and there but they all do. I guess besides being how we eat, gardening is kinda a way to keep a relationship with nature. Kinda like fishing!
@Ozzie's Oddities I also remember the crank just about taking my dad's shoulder off when his little Alice Chalmers tractor fired off. You're so right about connecting with nature.
I suspect this year will be the 12 annual last planting with the way prices have really ramped up in the past year. We certainly are preparing to do our biggest garden to date. Plenty of peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes and now corn thanks to your expertise on a great method of getting good pollination.
Yeah I guess we'll do it again. We love it, it's our way of life, but it's really getting tiring at our age. But every year we're able is a good thing. Happy to hear we could pass something along that will help with your corn crop. Once I started doing it that way it was night and day. And it was a lot easier to keep up with a spread out harvest.
@@OzziesOddities I think the physical work is a big part in keeping you as healthy as possible. I'm subbing to your channel and will look forward to any videos you decide to post and share this year!
Really awesome video!! I really enjoyed it! Funny nin nthat nso many things you do are the same as I've done here in western Oregon for the last 50 years! Work the soil, keep records, palnt corn in blocks, etc.! Love it and much success to you!!
Will do. Very kind of you. Glad you enjoyed it! If you would have been with us yesterday, I'd have shared some radishes with you, and then gave you a hoe and asked you to help clear these weeds.
I just planted my first corn field by hand here in Guatemala, and after watching your video I will work hard to be able to get some good equipment since it will definitely make it easier/faster and my back will thank me too. Thanks for your videos appreciate your teachings.
Congrats on your first planting Paco! I just love the old equipment. But credit to you for getting it all done without all the equipment. Really neat to know this video found its way to you. Very best of luck this growing season!
Hey Ozzie! Love what you do. Ever considered a seeder with a corn disk for planting your garden? I can see you still at it in not 11 years, but maybe 22 years ahead!
haha. Yes I have tried the little seeders that you push. I found the ground has to be pretty well worked up for those to really work their best. I'm sure it would make more sense. But I only plant 2, 25 foot rows of sweetcorn at a time anymore so it goes quick enough by hand. Keeps me young right?
A can of Spam for $3.69. It was half that last year. I may need to come out of retirement if this keeps up. I'll enjoy watching your garden grow this year. I am going to have to plant more than just my few tomatoes and peppers next year.
Happy to see your last year of gardening. I am sure you will not regret it. Sure wish we had some fine soil like that down here in the "Sunshine State". As always, I love watching your videos!
This is Ozzie's video assistant. He told me to tell you have a great weekend too, and don't feel bad about that sunshine soil because he's always wanted to grow citrus.
Hey Ozzie, just discovered your channel a couple days ago and am really enjoying watching. I certainly share many of your interests and thank you very much for sharing your experiences with us. Keep them coming. Also the countryside in your area is beautiful.
U dont have sweet corn plates for the JDD? I got SC, large flats, Med flats, rounds, Milo and bean plates for my OLD 2 row IHC steel wheel 2 row planter. Looks like a horse planter, other than having a trip mech.
I'll bet you've got a gift for planting straight rows or harvesting crooked ones then. My guess is you can really plant a straight even row. Thanks for taking an interest in our channel!
Your grandfather had on old JD 2 row huh? Different times from what they're farming with now right? I don't have the sweetcorn plates for it. I'll tell ya, around here I only like to plant maybe 100 feet or less of sweet corn per day. Back in the 90s we were planting a lot of sweet corn and selling it and there were two things we were always battling. One was the racoons and all the wildlife who thought our field was their food plot. The other was all the corn coming ripe at approximately the same time. So I guess that's why we're in the habit of not planting too much corn at once, so we wouldn't really have the need for a planter.
Hey, thanks for taking the time to do these videos. I recently found you guys and I’m glad I did. May God richly bless y’all and keep y’all… also, I think produce and consume is a pretty good way to sign off. I’d keep an eye on that garden being so close to the road at all… Times are about to get crazy!
Thanks Danny, for finding us and for being such a kind supporter of what we're doing. I guess we kinda take our chances. The way I figure is the folks most likely to start stealing might not be focused on garden produce. Besides if anyone came to us in need, heck we'd pick the veggies for them.
As for my favorite weed, Ragweed. My husband and I walked corn and beans for ragweed during the "coolest hours" of a hot summer's day. Made common garden weeds gentle in comparison. But come harvest we were mighty glad for fields with fewer weeds and less to wrangle with the next growing season.
@@mackenziehaugen2782 a golden rule of video editing is that if it needs background music, you can cut it shorter. I won't deign to tell the family what to do with their own videos, however, as I find that's just rude. They're so full of knowledge that I can tolerate a bit of royalty-free music.
i love fresh corn its my favorite thing to grow i love it on the cob or cut off & fried..but it is so hard to grow it n small town ky cant seam to keep the deer ,coons & coyotes out of it & the Black Birds 8 rows 100ft long ea and we might get 12-24 ears total..& its just so good i still try..lol. we have electric fence around it with (10,000v) but they still do a number on it ! & as any one who has ever raised a garden to feed his family darn well knows its a truck load of work to raise a Garden of about any size but the bigger the garden the more hard work it is..i have one at my house probably 125ft X 75ft an another at the farm that's probably 200ft X 100ft give or take & its a ton of work for 2 people & i dont think one person could do it especially when ya work a regular job to its just about to much.. But it can be done but yo will work no doubt about it..lol. ! but now ya about got to try because ya darn well just cant go to the store n get it no more & i imagine its just goin to get worse im afraid & so many folks are going to get a very rude awakening i think !
Wow I thought we had it bad with wildlife, but that's sounds like a crazy hard challenge. That is a lot of gardening you're doing, just two people. You must be a little younger than us, but even so that's very impressive. I worry there might be some rude awakenings for all of us, but I also hope we all can learn from what's going on and it might make some of the traditions like garden a little more valuable to us all.
@@OzziesOddities i may be a tad younger im 40 or 41 i cant remember..i stoped counting when i hit 21 an my my has time flew by ever sence .. i dont know where the last 20 years went..it was gone n a heart beat it seams ! ! i was born n raised on a small farm 70 acres an we all had to do our parts ! i remember griping/whining because we had to pull tobacco plants an all that goes along with it & now i miss that more than about any thing !
👍
Love your old tractors and equipment
Thank you. I'm so lucky to be able to work(/play) on this old stuff. It's a lot of fun.
The 11th anual last year of gardening!
We keep saying we want to be done. But we're also really grateful to be doing it. Thanks for stopping in and dropping a line.
Such a sweet man. I am glad I found your channel.
And a sweet lady. Good teachers.
Thanks very much for finding us. We've been a little in and out on youtube unfortunately but appreciate coming back to the warm comments.

Loved it. You had those two half rows planted pretty quick without using a planter. I enjoyed you exercising all your tractors. That's good for them.
It's good for them and I just love to do it. Thanks for watching and for your nice comment!
🖒🖒
Thank!
@@OzziesOddities you're welcome

Yep it's getting kind of crazy. For me I guess gardening is our retirement. Tomato's and peppers go good in a spamwich though.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of gardening!!! I love to watch your videos and the knowledge you have is awesome!!!!
Thank you for finding us! Glad you like the videos. I'll tell the wife and kids you think I'm knowledgeable, not sure they'll agree...haha
Looks like the two of you make a good team. Now for some gentle timely rains!
That sure would help!
Just ran across this channel. Love the music and admirer the different tractors you run. Gardening keeps you moving so you really don't want to stop.
Thanks for finding us Paul. And thanks for the kind words about our video. Our backs really want to stop, but something in us just can't give it up.
Happy to see your last year of gardening. I am sure you will not regret it. Sure wish we had some fine soil like that down here in the "Sunshine State". As always, I love watching your videos!
Hey there's our favorite John Deere mechanic. Thanks for watching Papa Tony, keep up the good work on your channel too!
@@OzziesOddities Thank You So much. Hope you and your family are enjoying this weekend!
This is Ozzie's video assistant. He told me to tell you have a great weekend too, and don't feel bad about that sunshine soil because he's always wanted to grow citrus.
Keep it up! Here in Florida Panhandle we love your knowledge!
Sure appreciate it! Thanks for watching. Neat to know our little videos are making it all the way down to you.

😂😂come on
I tell myself the same thing.
U dont have sweet corn plates for the JDD? I got SC, large flats, Med flats, rounds, Milo and bean plates for my OLD 2 row IHC steel wheel 2 row planter. Looks like a horse planter, other than having a trip mech.
sounds like you have a good unit!
Iveplanted corn, milo, soybeans and never had a planter that had markers. Neither did dad
I'll bet you've got a gift for planting straight rows or harvesting crooked ones then. My guess is you can really plant a straight even row. Thanks for taking an interest in our channel!
I take it u dont have sweet corn plates for your JD planter. Grandad had one just like yours
