I may have said this before, but I’m going to say again, I really look forward to seeing your videos each and everyday! I don’t live to very far from you. And hope to some day to meet y’all. Your children are a blessing! I love their enthusiasm at helping in the gardening, and looking after the animals. They are living a good and healthy life. I hope they never forget it, and some day they can pass on to their children, this simple way of life. Modern technology can’t replace this!
Megan, you always starve me to death watching you cook! And I had just eaten 2 big bowls of Cheerios for breakfast and wasn't the least bit hungry. Yet when I saw you frying up those new taters and homemade mac and cheese (my favorite food), my mouth was watering! And then you fix that homegrown pulled pork. Law mercy, it just doesn't get any better than that!!!!!! Never mind topping that meal off with homemade chocolate ice cream. My goodness, all that is fit for a king! Delicious southern country cooking at its best!!!! Andy and your precious babies are so blessed having a wife and mom that knows how to feed her family good wholesome meals. I pity all those little children who are raised on McDonald's happy meals and never taste real food. What a blessing you are to your family!🙏❤ Can't wait to see what you trellis with that river cane! I'll be tuned in for the next one!
P.S. Let us see how your little pigsters are growing! Haven't seen them in a while, so I'd say they're doubled, if not tripled, in size!
When I was younger and we dug up the potatoes Dad made a game/contest for us.
He'd get everything he could find then had us each take a pail and had digger go over the bed as much as we wanted and pick up stragglers.
Whoever got the most got the "grand" prize of $5 everyone else got $3 .
It was fun
Sounds like good times.
Boy Jacob is sure getting tall! Playing in the creek sure brought back memories- we use to love doing that and catching minnows and crawdads for fishing! Good times!😊
I'm a Potato 🥔 Connoisseur too, Fried potatoes, Mashed potatoes, French Fries, Baked....yummy
Morn'n Family from West Virginia. I've been praying that God blesses you all with a great abundance of a very healthy harvest for all your hard work in the gardens. Love your channel. 🙏❤
Skipping rock on moving water is a trick. Well done.
A deer got the head of my tallest sunflower. So I snipped off the edges and now my shortest sunflower has 4 blooms coming up faster than the rest! I'm excited.
Nothing like homemade ice cream but making it with raw milk is a true treat! My dad loved homemade ice cream more than just about anything and he believed it was cure for anything that ailed ya, so my childhood memories include my sister and I taking turns sitting atop the hand cranked ice cream maker while he turned it. It was covered with an old rag rug and that little bit of weight on top helped keep the crank on and made the turning easier. 😀That's going back at least 65 years, but the recipe remains the same to this day and it includes raw eggs. Good stuff! Thanks for bringing us along on your daily adventures, they never disappoint. ❤❤
It is wonderful to see the involvement of your children the your gardens! Your easy going lifestyle is enjoying to watch. Blessings.
I know I always say it but another good video. Thank you.
I truly enjoy watching every episode . Keeping Appalachian life real . The best place on earth to live . Thank you for sharing your story with me .
Absolutely love watching you
My grand parents used to make ho.emade vanilla ice cream. It was cream , half & half, whole milk, 9 eggs, sugar, salt & vanilla. The eggs were never cooked. We've eaten alot of it. No one ever died or sick. Good stuff.
Love y'all , stay cool.
Have had homemade ice cream with raw eggs all my life. Im almost 57.
I love those little potatoes, even leftovers tossed in butter and left to cool, I will pick at them like candy!
Now that I’ve watched the video I want fried potatoes and ice cream 😂😂❤
Megan you and Andy have the most positive attitude. Wish I had the chance to live your lifestyle.
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊
If people are worried about the eggs do what I do...
Gently heat 1 cup of your milk, pour some into the yolks to temper, then pour back into the hot milk, let cook a minute or 2 then strain and cool, add to your ice cream mixture
You guys Work Hard & You Play Hard too… It makes my Heart Smile just watching you all together !!! Love Love your Videos 😍
Until the next one 😉💞🇺🇸
These are some of the best years of your lives.. Enjoy!!
I live in Missouri. We have what you're calling river cane! I've always told the kids it was bamboo. Wow. I learned something! My grandson asked me if Pandas lived by our creek! Lol.
I don't know if You know how much you truly inspire some of us to go beyond what we are used to doing. Here is an example. I had a big roll of chicken wire from a project a couple of years ago. I decided to use it to support my tomatoes. It worked great until the tomatoes were smashing their branches up against it. I didn't want to take it all down so I ended up cutting "windows" in the chicken wire to let the branches stretch out. I have some happy tomatoes now. FYI I have also been praying that you get some rain.
I love diggin potatoes!
We had a truck patch full of potatoes planted when young
So rich with family history your estate is...my mother inlaw didn't have much in life and we have five acres, barn and garden shed....she always called our place the estate. I loved the ring of that. What a beautiful life you have...you are to be admired for all your hard work.
Megan, years ago, my mother-in-love gave me a homemade ice cream recipe that called for eggs. I've always used store bought eggs and it's always been great. I know your farm fresh eggs are more delicious.
Love y’all. Enjoyed watching y’all!
There is nothing more rewarding than digging new potatoes!!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us!! We love your videos and we’ve learned so much from y’all. You guys are amazing people and so inspiring to me and others, I’m sure. We live in Laurel, MS zone 8B-ish
I just figured out why I enjoy your channel so much. It's the honestly and willingness to say when you are wrong about something and you aren't afraid to say so.
I could watch you all every day,7 days week❤
Me too!! ❤
Good friends aren't always going to be there and eating supper late is ok! For sure, the work is always going to be there!!! Enjoyed the video! God bless.
Enjoyed watching!
Me and my wife just started watching yall about three weeks ago and we have not missed night great videos
For those worried about adding egg into the icecream, if using store bought eggs, they could always temper them into the melted chocolate
Him calling his kids, youngins…. Makes me miss my dad. There were five of us girls. No sons. Dad loved us dearly. Took us everywhere. He called us youngins all the time. I suspect he couldn’t remember our names LOL!
Ugh…I so wish I had that creek running through our land! So beautiful and refreshing! You guys live in a gorgeous part of the country! Love you guys!
Skippin rocks and chillin in the “crick”!! What a life!!
Good morning!!
Andy a man that has as many tractors as you don't need to be digging potatoes by hand. Pull you a middle buster through there. 😊
"Done with no till." ME TOO! My ground is as hard as a rock and I've never had that problem before. I cant grow a carrot to save my life.
I learned last year that potatoes need alot of water to get big. I have to plant later or raise the soil to prevent rainy spring rot here near Memphis. Digging potatoes is like opening gifts! 😊 that creek is a blessing in this heat! Y’all have fun
I live in Lansing at off 64 before Earle at I’m raising potato’s in a planter can’t wait to see what I’ve grown
@@roxannepruitt4024 it’s exciting!
Good luck! 😃
Love new potatoes in creamed peas
As efficient as it would be to keep a journal for all your gardens, it would take so much time. Kinda fun having surprises, anyway! I appreciate all the different things aspects of your life that you show us, and I love seeing Maggie and Jacob.
Great video Megan, you all had a great time digging and gathering all those potatoes. That's some fine meals with all the different ways to prepare those new potatoes. Got a good mess of both types of potatoes from the plant and see what happens garden plot, waste not want not !! Enjoyed your culinary teachings too, looked like a great meal you prepared . It's even great after the company visits with you. We will see it when you share it with us. Stay safe and keep up the good works and videos. Fred.
I save the green potatoes for seed potatoes for next year.
I'm a retired RN
And enjoying gardening your kids are precious so helpful. I was like your daughter as a little girl being raised by my grandma, she grew and preserved all. I Learned
Love banana splits with chocolate ice cream and strawberry topping….
Potato harvest has to be the most enjoyable job. Love from Ireland as always ❤
Y'all are the greatest inspiration on UA-cam when it comes to farming. I was sitting here after supper drinking some tea and watching y'all get up potatoes. About 8 minutes in after thinking about it, I went and watered my garden. That's not the first time one of your videos has inspired me to go do something in the garden. Y'all got quite a haul of potatoes out of that bed. Outstanding meal Meagan! Jacob and Maggie have the right idea about what to do when it's hot. Y'all have a great night.
I love all your videos! Just watching family having fun is wonderful 😊
I dug my potatoes 🥔 this week also and they are delicious in some bacon grease 😂😂. Love y’all’s videos and enjoy watching!! Hope y’all have a great growing season!!❤️
My grandma used to cook the potatoes in with the green beans, then take them out and fry in bacon grease. Flavor was amazing!
Yes I’m going to try that!! I heard it was wonderful!!!
Love the orange crew working together. Another great video ❤
I love frying onions with my taters and put Italian seasoning on them while they're cooking. They're awesome!
Hey Megan.
Beautiful Potatoes, Food and Ice Cream. See ya next time.😊
There is just nothing like eating what we grow .
You have some
Good Little Helpers!🙂👍
That ice cream had to be delicious made with fresh milk, cream and eggs. We love ice cream. You never know who you might meet over a cone of ice cream 😄 i like those small potatoes too, they're easy to cook. Your meals always look delicious.
Hey baby girl, I really love to watch you cook. Such awesome dishes
Love that little water hole
Plant another bunch now , fertilizer in the rows with 10 10 10 just under the seed ,then bury and put soaker hoses from harbor freight just above them, just under the ground,above your row. then fertilize thurout the s ason using a Meri grow water inline fertilizer cup and put Jacks Tomato Classic water sauable fertilizer in your inline cup and water feed those potatoes every 2 weeks until harvest,,they ll then will be big as grapefruit,,from Ga.
lol we have been on vacation this week and I wish we could of come up to meet yall and take ya to supper some where. lol. I truly enjoy your videos and would love to meet yall one day. We do a lot of the same stuff yall do just on a smaller scale. I still need the milk cow lol. But the way this world is going we should all be growing and putting up all we can. ❤️❤️
Megan I enjoy watching your videos so much to me it’s like I am there visiting with ya’ll and I love watching your kids help you in your garden and it tickled me to see Maggie lay down in your creek so funny 😅
Well now I got to get on Amazon and find a Ice Cream Maker lol
Do what my dad does we live up North cut up some of the hottest peppers you got seeds and all take a cup and soak them in a gallon of water for 24 hours then strain it and spray your bugs in the garden and hope it works for you and if you it works for us hope you all have a blessed day
That looks like a great dinner. Yummy yum.
I grow them in an old galvanized wash tub just for a small batch. Kids used to think it was magical when they dug em up.
Will y’all adopt an old woman??😂😂 I just love watching y’all!! ❤
Megan I would come to dinner with your cooking , love the kids at the creek, love the videos i like fingerling potatoes .
Fingerling potatoes are usually white long small tubars.
I planted potatoes before I planted anything. Everybody said I did it too early and the harvest is too early. But I've gotten some really nice potatoes.
Some cut up squash and new onions would go real good with some fried taters and fresh catfish, and maybe some slaw with dukes mayo in it. Oh, and some corn bread.
Love those small potatoes in a pot of green beans ...with a bit -o-onion,& fat back .. and more tasty things to go with it ...😊
Glad to see y’all got a decent little haul despite the lack of rain. We need to get our taters out of the ground this weekend. I hope they aren’t rotten from all the rain we had in May.
It's 100 degrees in CT today. I would love to wade in that water. Reminds me of my childhood.😊
Like your shirt pier 14 .. I'm from Myrtle Beach
I have a few rivercane baskets made by the Cherokee. They’d split it and sue with walnut and blood root etc and weave baskets. It’s quite a time consuming process and is hard on your hands.
Beautiful potatoes!
Mommy use to take them small ones and scrape them under running water then fry them . Not peel, just barely scrape.
Yep. It’s all in God’s timing. Ain’t nothing we can do or not do to change His plan. 🙏🏻
My mom made icecream with eggs just like that . I am still telling you all about it .
Save me a hagstone if you find one in that creek. Supposed to be good luck. (Flat stones with a natural hole in them) 😊
Hi l have some pink fur potatoes in never tried them before so waiting to pull them in a few weeks lol 😘 xx well done 👍 with your lovely tubs of potatoes 🥔 enjoy 😉 xxx
👍👍
Lol. It would’ve drove me crazy not knowing where I planted what until it grew up. And on the creek. Lol if I’d told my boys to move over I was going to skip a rock….. I’d accidentally skipped it off his head. Needless to say, my 2 boys grew up tough. Lol. Country kids can’t help but to grow up tough. Lol
If you temper the eggs with the warm chocolate that would help if people are uneasy about the raw eggs
fingerling potatoes go for 5 dollars a pound in Canada
yum
Hey y’all. That’s a nice tater haul you got there. 👍🏽
Great video and look forward to seeing more of your videos. I’m getting close to getting up my potatoes in the next few weeks. I have green beans coming in, but due to the weather there haven’t beaned yet.
I grew up eating homemade ice cream made with eggs...it's the only way my grandma, aunts and mom ever made it. It seems a little wrong to me to make it any other way 😂
I have been watching y'all on my T.V. Utube instead of my phone and I want to say that I enjoy watching you. I do have a question have you ever heard of a cucumber plant having crooked cucumbers? Mine is.
I guess Maggie answered your question about water
The deer here in KY have almost wiped out my sunflowers!! Love your videos. Life's a garden, dig it!
Did I see some polk stalks among your potatoes
How was the ice cream? I'm about to make some for our 2 grand girls this week. We all love home made ice cream. Yall potatoes looked good and I know that they have a good taste. ❤
I have had no luck with potatoes the last couple of years, either blight gets them, they get drowned ,the voles eat them or with our early crop we had a week long frost..Will keep trying ,have had decent crops previously .
I have sump pumps and soaker hoses going. Not a drop of rain here in southern WV in weeks. None predicted the rest of June and the extended forecast predicts a possibility of rain on three days in July! Temps in the 90s with miserable humidity. The creek I'm using will dry up if that holds true. So frustrating!
Drought sucks but it’s better for digging taters cause you want the as dry as possible if your gonna store the for a long time .
