I am late coming to this party.....turning 70 next month. Bought a homestead two years ago and just grew my first garden last year. This will be my second garden this Summer. It is bigger than last year. Bought an All American Pressure Canner. A book is coming from Ebay next week to teach me to can and preserve for the first time in my life. It is never too late to learn these skills😁 It is a pleasure to watch you young ones and your children enjoy farming and gardening.
Wonderful! The Lord bless you and the work of your hands.
I pressure canned and also froze our garden produce with my Mom when I was young. 40 years later, I have started up again, doing it on my own. It is SO SATISFYING. This channel is packed with great information, and a wonderful family. Good luck to you, and your garden!!
I'm 68, just a small plot gardener but we have a bare side lot and my husband is looking seriously at old Farm All tractors for sale! I've wanted one for so long and can't believe it. Watching you on yours today I think finally made him want one. Thank you, Andy and Meaghan!
Congratulations!
So wonderful gonna be 70 and just start homestead two years ago. That is awesome. I’ll be 60 in August and I’ve accumulated all the materials and things I need to start canning because I wanna learn. I was feeling kind of down there. Figured I wouldn’t have enough time to do these things reading your commentMade me happy while I want to do it even more thank you
Thank goodness Andy has a wife with a very positive attitude about life. She keeps lifting Andy up when he’s in doubt. God blessed him. 😊
My wife rings a dinnerbell when she feeds our cows. The benefit is that they can be called to you if they need moved or if, like us, you have the occasional escapee😂
I have to tell you this story. Mom and dad were very poor growing up, and mom canned and preserved every little thing from the garden. One year,in particular, the garden just went on and on and was getting weedy. One day, dad got tired of it and bush hogged it all down. When mom got home from work, she was fit to be tied and told dad she had planned to make more relish from what was left, and dad said, well, I got it all chopped up for you. Lol
A man who is nostalgic about corn seeds is a good hearted man!
Really hoping Andy's 20+ year old corn seed grows 🤞🙏
I can feel the peace and joy there on your farm. So beautiful with the corn growing, the tractor going, the hay baled up in the field, and you, Meg, sitting on the back of the truck shelling peas. All that's needed is for ya'll to adopt me. lol. We have 3 acres, the garden, pigs and animals are recovering from the bad hail storm, and I am just so thankful, grateful and blessed.
I love this precious family. God Bless you all and pray that you guys have a great and abundant harvest.
Andy is so sentimental, a fine quality 💯
Meaghan hit the jackpot, Andy is a rock solid dude.
Your children are blessed for the life you have
I too love videos when the cows are moved to the fresh pasture. They are so happy.
Andy really is very sentimental, Love his enthusiasm! You two made a beautiful family ❤❤
I just love watching you guys! It reminds me of when I was a little girl tagging behind my daddy on the farm. There wasn’t nothing any better than playing barefoot in a fresh plowed field!! I learned how to drive on a tractor!! Oh what memories!! Thank y’all for sharing your life!!!
What a day of work and play to see what we can grow. It will be neat to get to eat all the foods we sow. You folks are raising another generation of farmers and ranchers who will be able to pass their love and knowledge along as you two are doing. My hat is off to your FAMILIES for raising and teaching you two the way you are teaching Jacob and Maggie. What a blessed family tree you all have. Fred.
The mics you guys are using make a huge difference! Great audio to go along with your great videos.
Did you know you can briefly boil pea pods, after removing any strings, purree and use for cooking? They are nutritious. After boiling, cool quickly and purree and strain through a fine mesh strainer using a spatula, adding nuts and spices if you like for a pasta sauce or for a dressing for macaroni salad.
I liked hearing you call your cows and they came!😊 It was very beautiful to watch. Good job.
Fingers are crossed for the red corn to actually do what it should, that would be great! Nice to see you all working together to get the jobs done, and I appreciate the look into your daily lives. Thank you so much
Bacon, egg and cheese looks really good. You 2 are really blessed and so good together. ❤ yall
I can just smell corn on the cob and peas and dumplings!
That was interesting to learn why your corn did better in one spot than another. An underground spring perhaps. This is what farmers must know. They must understand their land. You did a good job explaining it to us.
my understanding was that both fields were the same soil (100 yards apart) but the good field had a cover crop on it for a season, and other field didn't - did I get that right from the video? Corn still looked pretty good in the "other" field but the best field corn looks like it's gonna exPLODE!!
the best field has been cover cropped every winter for the past three years the other one has been left bare
So relaxing to go with you for the day. That was really interesting about the underground water. The explanation sure sounds plausible. Your family history on the land sure gives you a big hand up in figuring it all out Andy. I have a mind your ancestors are smiling down on all of you!😊
Husband having another surgery to so I’m sitting at the hospital enjoying your video .
Prayers for speedy recovery in Jesus Christ of Nazareth name.
Prayers for your husband recovery
Thanks so much ! ❤️
Your cows are in very good shape. I can see yall take very good care.
For 10 years we raised peas for the Green Giant cannery near us. We had 40 acres and when they came to harvest them we would grab a couple of 5 gallon buckets of shelled peas to put up for winter. Then if we got lucky they would plant green beans or sweet corn for a second crop and we would get some of them when they harvested. Just found your channel and really enjoying following your family.
Your "Old Red" corn seed will be a marvel to see how it does! It may just sprout. One of the the red corn varieties was salvaged from the last four ears someone had kept and their heirs found them while cleaning out the estate. MI Gardener channel talks about a shadow box garage sale find of tomato seeds that was maybe a hundred years old they got several to sprout. My father used to make "rag dolls" (spread corn on damp cotton squares, roll up and put in a soup can put in the cabinet above the kitchen stove to see how well his old commercial corn remained viable (he might have had some five to ten years old at the time).
Little bit of time n patience n a bit from the guy above showers by some rain,,,I'd say things are looking pretty good 👍🤓👍❣️🫶❣️
You are doing great Kitten. You are an authentic young lady and I know we have relatives there! Love Granny from NE Florida 👍😘🌴
So glad you stuck with it!
Maggie is so sweet, she’s a great helper.
Y’all are so sweet,I pray Andy’s sentimental corn comes up.
It being so hot we had scrambled eggs/cheese,fried o ions,broccoli and hot dogs..been cleaning ,planting and pickn string beans..tomorrow we are suppose to be 98° not counting heat index..blackberries shrivln.
Got enough to make jar of syrup..Everyone be safe in this nasty heat!!🙏🙏🙏
Puppy watch her put on the tractor 🚜 she lives all you Jake he is amazing and Maggie love them ❤ pumpkins. Greens. Turnips big demand money making
Meagan you are the coolest most beautiful woman on the planet. I hope one day I can find a queen like her to give my heart to and grow old with. I wish you all the love and happiness and success that life can bring and I hope you have a beautiful day sweetheart. God bless you
I think I get just as excited as y’all do when I see the vegetables growing. Great job great family ❤
I plant winter squash around the edges of the garden and train them to go out over the grass. You have to be willing to let that grass grow but it is ok. By doing this you don't use up much garden space.
You go Jacob looking like your Dad driving the tractor 😮
Y’all’s garden is looking awesome!
Praise God, you 2 are 2 peas in a pod. You are so good together. I love watching and listening to yall videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Hope you don't mind, I do pray for you guys, that God will yall and your work. ❤
I think it great watching you all working together. God bless.
I grow my pumpkins over pallets keeps the fruit off the soil definitely helps with bug damage ...
It’s so awesome to see your kids and your son driving the tractor. I remember riding on the trailer behind my uncle with his tractor and when I got older, I took a course of nursery operations and they had a tractor and I love driving it all over whenever I had so much fun , you guys are awesome😊
Love watching you guys. ❤ We also love bacon and egg sandwiches 😊
Dixie Lee peas are my top pick.Easy to shell.Dark pea soup. Great flavor.
Love stories my husband was around farming large gilds of rice soybeans
Love this family! I have watched every video ! Megan is a wonderful cook and a great wife and Mom it’s so obvious
Congratulations on the cows coming to you so easily of course the horse galloping was sweet to see.Also congratulations, on the peas and corn I would say that's was probably good day. I enjoyed watching so much fun !
Exceptional editing and videography. It's obvious the extra effort yall put into creating these videos for us. Thank you and job very well done!
This channel makes me so happy. I wish i had my own land to farm on but i have a bag yard with lots of grow bags, i have been trying to grow plants. I hope your old corn kernels grow. Sending love from san diego California ❤️
Perfect video to go with my morning coffee
I’m reminded of an old Amazing Rhythm Aces song by y’all, and it goes both ways. The song is “Big Old Brew” and the line I’m thinking of is: “I know you’re working every day just as hard as I do, if I didn’t think that I might have loved you but I wouldn’t have said “I do”! Y’all are some hard working folks! Glad to see your sweet peas making, I really struggle with those in this Alabama heat! I do much better with them in fall. Enjoyed, as always!
I have missed you. I have been so behind my garden is flourishing and keeping me so busy and I’m also starting new seeds today. You know I’m in Texas so we have a longer growing season but busy busy busy like a BO and I got plenty of bumblebee. They must have a nest near me. I don’t know. 🐝
Do Your Best,The Good Lord Will Do The Rest...... Y'all Are Such Hardworkers. May The Lord Bless Y'all With A Bountiful Blessing.....
Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches are the best for supper! Grew up eating them and still do!
I'm fairly new to your channel. And I thoroughly enjoy it. You'alls channel is one the true homesteading/ farming channels. I follow a few and yours is at the top. You do all your own work, no behind the scenes workers doing the chores. I greatly appreciate you people. You seem like good people. God bless you and your family.
I love your dishpan. I would love to have one like that!! I have a double boiler in the white enamel.
I just love you guys…so honest and real…and sweet and hard working…and unpretentious! ❤
Love the video❤️ also I have wonderful memories of staying with my Grandparents on their homestead They raised hogs and had a huge garden ❤
To get rid of slugs, buy a pair of ducks. Slug vacuum .
Start saving your heirloom seeds. The WEF has already made it a law in other countries you can only have GMO seeds and you can't share any seeds you have with neighbors or anyone and the GMO seed once you plant them and harvest them the don't have seeds inside them like you would with heirloom seeds/ plants. Also GMO is not good for anybody. So save as much as you can from you harvest this year . I love you gardens and that you're kids are so involved and even have there own little garden's that's how I was raised kids today have know structure in there upbringing .
Ps, I love y’all so much I actually watch the commercials to help your channel! 😁.
Hello from SUNNY!!Oregon, dragging anchor this morning a bit late😂
Good looking cows
I love watching you guys. God Bless all your hard work and bless you with more food you can handle. I know you all share what ya can't use so others will be blessed more than usual :) I have never in all my 65 years use the saying I'm to pooped to pop besides myself. Made my day 🚜. Oh. By the way I ordered my shirt! Wearing it to my Church and let people know how wonderful your videos are and family friendly. Hugs to all and God Bless. Rebekah
I love how you use the basin to pick. Reminds me of cleaning vegetables with my grandma. I need to find one of those….
same thing I thought that old beautiful basin, I gotta get me one.. find it in a CT antique store gonna be $80 or something ridiculous.. love those things though
@@h.sinclair I’m not much into antique stores but there are a lot near me, so I’m definitely going to have to be on the lookout for one!!! I’m sure it will be a bit, but I had forgotten about it til I saw Megan’s. I’m not an extravagant shopper so I’ll feel ok treating myself to it to have some nostalgia of memories with my grandma! 🙂I do have a few antique kitchen items from her that I love. An applesauce maker, a corn remover thing no idea what it’s called but use it to cream corn for pa Dutch corn fritters. Have her dough board. Have my great grandmas wash board. These crazy times really make me wish for a simpler, quiet life. Even though I know they worked hard and times were tough, I’d rather work hard and have a quiet simple life…. Blessed for the life I have but the older I get the more I miss and want to get back to more of country living….
The garden looks good, there's nothing like just stepping out your door getting fresh vegetables, fresh fruit... GOD BLESS 🙏 the first video that I seen Andy just had picked the popcorn... So I guess I've been watching for a year. So glad I found y'all's channel...
Hope your corn does well, what you do have looks good., after it got that high, mom planted squash, melons and pumpkins. Sometimes they did well and sometimes not.. I remember all of us standing out in the field and just looking at it, and hoping it would do well.
Jacobs getting really confident on the tractor ❤he's going to be a great help on the farm for certain!
Your corn plots are beautiful, and your dinner sandwiches looked delicious! Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for farming! Your both a treasure to watch! ❤
You all are the best! Loved this video. ❤🙏
good luck on the red corn!....and all your crops and gardens. It's hard work, but rewarding.
I just love watching yall work together real everyday life but so interesting and enjoyable always look forward to seeing what yall are up to God bless your family
Smart thinking to take the peas to shell out to the field..the hours of my life I've spent hanging around with extra vehicle/ awaiting gopher ( go for) duties ..helps to have something productive to do..at least get something off our own lists 😂
I can't believe that's the same field of corn! It looks great! I'm glad you decided not to replant it all!🌽 It'll be interesting to see if that 30 yr old corn comes up...I'm guessing it will! Sometimes it's hard to beat eggs for supper! I do it a lot. I especially like sausage, gravy, biscuits, and eggs for supper more than I like it for breakfast. Megan, your peas have done real good! And your cabbage is beautiful! Do you all like sauerkraut? My mom used to make the best kraut. Wish I'd learned how she did it. I know she just used salt and water to let it ferment, just don't know the ratio of salt/water per quart. And she always used the jar rubbers and zinc lids on the jars. Then she'd set it in a dark corner in the basement while it fermented. Her kraut would be white as snow and crispy. So good! Hope you all have a good weekend!
My daughter give me some 2021 bakers creek atomic purple cherry tomato they came up.lol
Wow, I’ve never seen a husband Help a wife so much!!! 🙌 🥰 🙌
Another great job guys!😇!😇!😇!😇!
I just Love watching you and learning new things! Thank You!❤❤❤
Dinner looks delicious! Praying that red corn comes up for ya🙏❤️
I really enjoy watching yall. It is relaxing watching yall WORK. continued blessings from the Lord above
I love that 140. That one is great shape. I see them around in my area but hard to find one in that good of condition. Most of them got worn out on the farms. They are probably one of best garden tractor you will find with all the equipment that goes with it.
I would be so happy with your pea harvest.
Got to love the country living. Thanks for sharing.
Love watching those cows!
Hated to see Andy plant that red corn since he had it as a boy but since he did, I sure hope you’ll get a good crop out of it!
That’s a mighty fine dinner Meagan!👍🏼
You (all) are the Sweetest!!💛
Great video once again. Love watching your family.
I just subscribed to your channel and love it yall have a beautiful farm and the many gardens you have.I love how yall explain everything ❤️ and God Bless you all
man yalls corn is looking spectacular! No weeds! nice going... I hope that Red Corn comes up I'll be watching best of luck on that, that right there is real special ❤
We used to call the cows with "Come Boss" which said quick was "Caa Boss". Called a lot of cows in with that. Nice video.
Your family is so rich. And, Andy, your corn is going to do great.
Awesome video s and Family. Have a great day
I do pray you get enough credit corn to do many more years

Glad to see your corn is doing better. I hope to see your 30 year old red corn grow! Y’all keep up the great work!

I’m excited to see what happens with the red corn! Those breakfast sandwiches sure did look good. Thanks for sharing y’all ‘s little piece of heaven with us!
Dragonfly making an appearance 😂
I'm glad your corn is looking up. My corn has been struggling; inconsistent growth, spotty germination, etc. Like yours it's starting to improve but it's got a long way to go.
