bedridden. found your ch yesterday. binge watching. love you. louisiana 71 years old. God bless
Welcome!!
Przesyłam pozdrowienia z Polski.
Życzę Wam Błogosławieństwa Bożego dla dużych zbiorów 🙏❤
Thank you so much!
Watched this video and when you talked about the tomatoes all I could think is you can not out give God. Just keep giving to your neighbors and friends and you will still have more than you can eat And preserve for you and yours. Our God is faithful. I wish I lived near you I would purchase tomatoes from you and pay you for your labors. Then we would both be blessed. Thanks for sharing.
Andy gets so excited 😂
North Carolina almost always has roller coaster weather, especially as the seasons change!
You guys are so blessed and my God keep blessing y'all.
Your tomatoes are epic! I have not seen a beauty like that one in years!👍
Thank you!!
Good morning ya'll ☕️ 🍩! Garden looks great. I can feel fall in the air. These 100+ degree Temps coming should put a hurting on what's left of my garden. Summer is going out with a bang. Hopefully we'll have a good enough winter this year to help rid some of these bug's
That is a very impressive layout of gardens!!!!
Thank you!!
Also Megan you can bag some up and put them in the freezer til you can get to them.
Enjoyed the tour guys! That’s the same issue we have with our raised beds, you gotta keep em watered well. Thanks for the info on the cover crops. Lol Andy gets excited about his corn being ready to pick. Wow! That’s some tall corn right there!!!! Thanks for sharing! 😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻
Mom canned everything because she said the next year might not be good or even two years
That’s what we do. In fact we were just talking about tonight. We had a terrible tomato crop last year are having a good one this year and are putting it all up !
I totally agree and have canned probably 2 years worth of tomato products, but there is only so much time and so much storage ☺️
What an Abundance of Garden Blessings!!
That happened to me with 2 peach trees. But mine had little tubes coming off the trunk and limbs. If I remember correctly it was Asian Ambrosia beetle. They introduce a bacteria in the bark and the tree dies quickly
Great job this year guys! Awesome haul.
Enjoyed the video, y'all have an amazing garden, beautiful family.
Thanks for the wonderful tour. Husband and I just got back from Gateway mountain NC and I was expecting it to be cooler there this time of year than where we live in Raeford but it was just as hot. Y’all have a lot still growing for this time of year. Looks great
Your gardens are beautiful. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Life is busy.
Seeing your corn field reminded me of a funny thing that happened to me.
We live in a small village in Western New York state, there are tons of corn fields around here, anyway I worked the 11 PM to 730 AM shift in a town 20 miles away.
My daughter had been watching Children of the corn right before I left, so I was spooked by it, on my drive there were corn fields planted close to the road on both sides , it was really dark, no moon because it was rainy and a bit of fog. I just kept looking forward not daring to look at the corn when I caught movement out of the corner of my eye, something was moving fast.
I about had a heart attack when a herd of deer ran right in front of me.
After they passed I floored it until I got to a store parking lot.
After I calmed down I drove on to work. 😂😅
That's so funny although not to you at the time! I've seen "Children of t h e Corn" so I know what you mean.
😂
Looks good ..gonna be some good eating 🌱🌱
We are in 3 digits in Houston,Tx…all of Texas is Super Hot 🥵
But garden look lush …
You can make basil a house plant as well over winterize it, keep it in a pot and then bring it out next spring. You can use it and pick on it drop the winter in your house.
Hello guys! I have lost one plum tree and one apricot tree to willow borers. My trees looked like your apple tree. When I cut the trees I found the willow borer larvea in the roots and the tree trunk 😞 If that's the case its time for a campfire. Burn the wood! Dont throw anything in your compost bin ! Good Luck! Greetings from Austria, Gaby
Thanks!
you can make 1st planting near your house and
the 2nd planting is at the other side of the road
I think it interesting you try all different seeds in all different locations. You are learning so much about your land.
What a garden! Your ground is better than mine based on your crop!
its took many years to get it to what it is, thank you!
Produce sale tomatoes big demand pick go set up be short stay it go fast 🙏🏻
New subscriber here from Kentucky. Been loving going back and watching your content. I've liked every video. I like that yall mix it up between ya garden and you making things out of it in your kitchen. Keep the content coming and I'll keep a watching. Lol. Yall just seem down to earth and my kinda peeps.
Thank you so much, glad to have you here!
Thank you guys for sharing alittle glimps into yull life ive grown to love you and your family
Lazy dog farmer suggested you can plant bunching onions and then they are very edible and then you can produce some easy, split them up and put them in and I would put them in a separate container but YOU would have onions almost all year round 🧅
I planted San Marzano tomatoes this year too and they have performed well and I’ve used them for spaghetti and pizza sauce.
Megan, don't be disappointed in your fig tree not producing figs, none of us here in Louisiana made any figs. Just wasn't a good year.
Us too on the weather. Friday was beautiful but starting Sunday we have excess heat warnings until Thursday night at 10. Heat indexes of 113 today🥵
You have q great blessing with your farm, I wish I could go and get tomatoes 🍅 Have a blessed weekend from Georgia
Thank you so much!
Omg....THAT CORN😮😮😮
love your videos, successes and failures...things look so good, keep videos coming......Blessings !
Thank you!!
Family and friends love tomatoes also. 😂
Hey Andy. Man you have a good stand of iron clay peas there. They will put a good bit of nitrogen in your soil. I wouldn’t use up all that free nitrogen by following it with turnips. I’d come right behind it with crimson clover and let that overwinter. The clover will add even more nitrogen. Come next spring you’ll have A LOT of available nitrogen for whatever crop you choose to follow it with. Just a suggestion my friend.
What a nice garden! Nice layout. You are fun to watch.
Those Basil flowers are very good dried out
Or you can flavor olive oil with them….
Look at that corn.o my goodness
Great Job guys!😇!😇!😇!😇!
Start you a roadside produce stand for extra money.
Sadly the chem trails in Australia are killing the food.. its been very difficult to grow enough food for one person,.. l just love watching what you all do together..hard work certainly pays off.. take care and God bless you all.. love from Australia
Thank you so much my friend
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays you are very welcome..
..he's right..river cane is nit the same as bamboo..pawpaw used to cut river cane for fishing 🎣...😅..
My Lord y'all got tomatoes wow
Thanks from Ontario Canada
Tomatoes and more tomatoes, maybe some of your neighbors that doesn't have a garden would love to have some or if you have a food bank.
We have given away TONS of tomatoes to all of our neighbors ☺️☺️
Got a notification of a mention, watched it twice, must have missed it both times. Anyway thanks y’all, I appreciate it and its looking good down there! What do you think about calling that new corn “King James”!? (Hickory King-Jimmy Red)
I tagged your channel in the description in case anyone wanted to know where we got our seeds, so they can click it ☺️ also meant to say it in the video and well slipped right out of my mind🤦♀️🤦♀️ I love that name!! We are definitely excited about the sorghum and the corn!
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays oh ok, I must have overlooked it! Thank you so much!😆 can’t wait to see how it all does for y’all!!!
Love the turkeys
You are really doing a great job!!
I wish I could live out like that and grow a big garden.I know it's a lot of hard work but we'll worth the trouble.❤️🙏
Thanks for the tour. You are such an inspiration!!
we are in the upper 100 suppose to be 107 everything is dead. All we do is stay in the house.
Magnificent you guys! Thank you for your updating us on the garden ❤love the “old coop” corn, dang ❤ I used bamboo for my tomatoes this year, but I have 10 ft sections ( about the King-corn height) & the base is between the size of the King corn stalk & Megan’s wrist. I also linked the sides with poles across long ways, going down to the top of my cages! I was thinking after my tomatoes finish, I maybe able to turn it into a frame for green house😂 glad my husband didn’t listen, when I asked for bamboo about the size of a cane 🦯 fishing pole 🎣 😂❤ God is good! y’all have a blessed one.. off to pickle jalapeños ❤❤
Fire blight or cedar apple rust on the apple tree. Has it came back this year? Next year, you can preventatively spray copper on the other tree.
Gophers!! I keep barn cats to hunt the gophers.. A gopher can take an established tree in a week. I'm in West Phoenix.
Bell peppers can also be over winterized. You can bring it in the garage or something in a pot. Keep it trimmed and then next year you can put one of them out and it’ll already have that jumpstart.
Love your company also 😅😅
Your garden is beautiul
Thank you!
Plant mustard cover crop then eat Some them plow in
I had to laugh about your many many tomatoes because in my opinion you can't have too many tomatoes I just lo 0:59 ve them them God bless you
I would love to have some of your tomatoes! Tomatoes won’t ripen here for canning, not enough sun. Hopefully we’ll have soon.😕
We are about 2 1/2 hours south and very hot and NO rain. Everything is getting hammered. Would be very interested in some hickory king corn seed
Looks good yep it dog days fir sure. I hope you find out what to use on them bugs. I believe that we have had enough helicopters they use to drop lady bugs i believe their dropping and spraying. . Be safe we enjoy all your videos ❤️🙏
That little apple tree might have had its roots eaten. Voles and gophers like tree roots. :(
We have had trouble with voles in the past, we will be digging it up and find out!
Ya'll need more maters lol!
I thought my fig tree was dead. It was just a bunch of dead sticks for a long time. But it came back and I have more figs on it than I had last year.
We tried using three bamboo/river canes per tomato plant. That also does not work. We now have a combination of bamboo and Florida weave going on.
I’m the same about tomatoes.. my husband has asked me several times if I was planning to feed us spaghetti twice a week all winter…. LOL. I am impressed with your San Marzano tomatoes, though. Mine are prolific, but they are small. Yours looked like at handful, at least. Your popcorn is beautiful. None of my corn filled out consistently and the bugs have been horrible.. Squash bugs and cucumber beetles have been my nemesis this year..
As to your apple tree, we have had trouble with moles or voles tunneling under our new trees and setting up housekeeping.. the tree’s roots are then hanging in the air..
Maybe a vole ate your roots on your apple tree. They killed most of my rose bushes and a 4o year old rhododendron. They can really do damage 😮
Enjoyed the garden tour ❤
We had moles that destroyed the roots of a wheeping willow. I wonder if that’s what happened to your apple tree?
We are wondering the same 🤔🤔
I had an apple tree die because the soil stayed moist and had had poor drainage.
Garden looks great. We found a paste tomato that we will now grow every year, large, very meaty. Its from Hoss seeds in Georgia. Its called Tachi. I can't tell you how many large paste tomatoes I have gotten off 3 plants. No much juice at all. We have done San Marzano and Romas in at, neither get very big or us. I highly recommend you try a pack of these Tachi's. Happy gardening.
I’ll definitely Have to try those!
I cant grow tomatoes.So ive moved to Ga. Maybe ill have some luck
❤
I need to plant yarrow , calendula, and comfrey
Dixondale got the best onion starts.
I haven’t heard of them, I’ll definitely check it out!!
Dixondale is good and I got starts from them last year but I also like starting my own seed and transplant them out. My biggest onions came from my seed starts.
Boy oh boy I would love to have thar much room to garden with ,I can see though how it does get out of control, nice ,real nice
Thank you! Yes this time of year things tend to start getting a little unruly, haha!
We didn't get any figs either 😢
We had a crazy tomato year as well. Tons. of tomatoes. The heat was bad and it would rain for a week then not rain for a week. The top part of the tomatoes Had whit flesh but the bottom half was great.
We have certainly been blessed with them this year! I’ve definitely canned more tomato products this year than ever before
Y’all don’t have any Sage ??
It’s great for roasting chicken or turkey on the grill
Chickens & pigs like tomatoes
Yes we have fed the lots of rotten ones to both!
I do not grow corn (container garden mostly in the suburbs) so genuinely curious what the benefits are of growing corn that grows so tall? Holy wowzers that is tall!!
It’s an heirloom field corn that naturally gets that tall, we grow it because it helps keep the animals out (they can’t reach it) plus the protein content makes excellent animal feed ☺️
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays that makes sense, thx for the answer. I grew up around corn fields but never in my life have I seen corn that tall.
What do you use comfrey for? It looks like it is toxic. Perhaps a vlog on using comfrey
I make salve with it and it also makes a good fertilizer “tea” for the gardens ☺️
Love your gardens...I removed our zucchini, corn and cucs also, started carrots, beets, kale, snow peas and collards...do you prep for a fall garden?
I need good tomatoes for salsa 😂 I learned that my heirlooms make very watery Salsa 😢 I ordered the Mtn tomatoes and hoping next year it will be better, I may need to order some San Marzenos also.
I've lost a few trees to the dang zoles...done chatting for now 😂
Yes we do a fall garden! We are actually running a tad behind but we like to plant cabbage, carrots, salet, garlic and collards in the fall ☺️
On that sorghum plot, wonder where the septic field is for the house?
We know where it is, it’s below the field ☺️
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays 👍Figured that might be why the one end did better than the other. My buddy's mother wondered why their well water was high in nitrates. He didn't want to tell her it was because of the dairy cows.
It was definitely a Tomato Year
I wish I had some of your tomatoes ours didn't do nothing. I didn't get 1 tomato sandwich.
I wish I could send you some!
👍❤️🙏
What do you use comfrey for?
I make comfrey salve occasionally but we mainly use it as ground cover and natural nutrients around our trees
How can y'all even think of letting those beautiful ripe tomatoes go to waste? I wish y'all were my neighbors, I'd be asking if you want to sell a couple bushels or more of those beautiful tomatoes. It's so hot and humid here in southeast Alabama that the tomatoes die from disease by mid July. Those spoon tomatoes are the same thing as the Florida glades tomatoes, they are tiny with a giant taste and once you grow them they will come back every year if you had one tiny tomato fall to the ground.
Oh they aint went to waist! more spaghetti sauce was made and way more gave away and theres a future video coming up of what we did with the rest, no way we could just let them go!
What part of North Carolina are y'all in if I may ask
We are in Stokes County ☺️
Would you be willing to share your spoon tomato seeds or the other small tomatoes. I live in North Carolina l also can't find comfrey here. Have tried l would be glad to pay for them
absolutely, send me an email, hello@thelawsonfarm.com
My name is Pamela Parrish 2950 Woodleaf Road Salisbury NC 28147 if you will let me know how much money you would like for like 10 seeds and a start of comfrey l will be glad to send it to you. I am 62yrs old and I don't need a whole lot anymore
Squash beetle get rid of them now they will cover your garden and distory it all.
Yeah these Mexican bean beetles are no joke, probably won’t be planting any beans in these upper gardens next year for sure!
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays anything that over winters in the ground will be twice as bad the next year. Last year's polar blast killed off some pest that over winter in the south so even though I lost quite a few plants I'm very thankful for it. The vine borers decimate my winter squash vines every year, I prayed to the Lord Jesus Christ to keep them out of my vines this year so He sent weather to freeze the pupae that lives in the soil and hatches out in late spring and early summer, the freezing weather killed the majority of them and I've not lost one vine this year.
Why did the corn not pollinate?
Because there were only 2 stalks that came up voluntarily, can’t pollinate well if they aren’t planted thick
What growing zone are u in there?
We are in zone 7a
Please spray something 🐞
I did
Ya'll need good mics for folks wanting to actually hear you
Doing the best we can with what we can afford, thanks
I can hear every word.😊
Yall need some guineas. They will eat all them bugs
We have a couple in with our chickens :)
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays my friend in Texas puts them inside their garden to keep out pest and bugs. Its nice they don't peck up the veggies.
