    Hi you two.
    It is nice to be with you on your Sunday drives.
    A few years ago I saw a video from Japan where they had developed real square watermelons that they grew.
    They did stack very well.
    I do not know whatever happened to them.
    Take care.

    This channel is so interesting. Amy, you are truly an amazing person with a genuine heart. For some reason, this particular video took me back to the video years ago of when you and Dougo talked about and showed a few clips of when you two were first dating and you came from the city one night to meet up with him while he was out working the fields while you two were 19-20 years old. You two are what life is about........

    LOL love this banter between you two. Answers first DE sprouting potatoes . You remove the spouts so the potatoes stay firm to eat . In spring the smaller potatoes are your seed but if you dong have enough smaller potatoes for seed. You cut up some of the larger ones into halves or quarters leaving or or more eyes or sprout holes in each piece so they grow.
    the sprouted wheat . Prepare the Sprouted Wheat: Soak the wheat overnight, then rinse and drain them for 1-2 days until they sprout. Dehydrate the sprouted wheat and mill it into flour.. This mean the whole sprout grain and sprout . Then you use it like flour in the bread. Have a good day you two.

    On that scoop. My grandfather used one like that to feed his cows. He had his own hammer mill and would grind his own corn for the animals. (Dang that's been a few yrs ago). Think it was around 1984 or so when he quit raising cows. And as far as potatoes, grandpa hated planting them. He always said for all the work you put into them and you got so little return. Grandma felt that way about peas.
    Awesome video Amy.

    Wow Dougo you brought back a memory from my childhood. My parents used to have a flour bin in their kitchen when I was little. It was neat because it would tilt out so you could get the flour. It probably held 30 pounds. Later on it became a rag drawer as more processed foods came out. Thanks for the memory 😊

    Oh, Dougo, you brought back memories of de-sprouting potatoes when I was a kid in NE Indiana, back in the 50's. I, too, remember the smell.😉 We didn't have a cellar, so we kept them in hampers in our cold garage. We cut up the potatoes to plant them, making sure each piece had an eye, before planting. I believe we put the eye down when placing them in the ground. My, that was over 60 years ago! I think the Lord made round watermelons for the same reason He created mosquitoes. Lol! I used a scoop just like that to scoop feed for cows in the milking parlor. Bye, bye, bug! Thanks for bringing back so many memories. God bless!😊❤

Acording to the department of AG here in Maine last year about 60000 acres of potatoes were planted , Potatoes is the largest crop planted with most of them raised in Aroostook county in northern Maine , The Maine Potato Festival is now going on now in Fort Fairfield ,Maine

    That looks like a super beetle model turned into a baja style. The difference is that the dash cover has that foam instead of plain metal, and original vw bugs, the turn signal, were inside the front headlight. I believe the super beetle model started in 70 or 71. Everything 60's model is what Volkswagen called a "Bug".

    When I made sprouted wheat I moistened the kernals and then placed them in a small dish and placed them in a warm place for a couple days until they sprouted. Then I made bread, adding the sprouted wheat kernels (about 1/2 cup), into the breade dough. The eyes of the potato are the seed. During WW2 They planted the skins to start Victory gardens so they didn't waste the potato. Your UA-cam videos are very interesting!

    Congratulations on getting the Bug sold and going down the road. Kind of sad to see it leave I am sure. Like you, I have sold things and was sad to see it leave, but that’s the way things go. You took real nice care of it and am sure the new owner will enjoy the bug. End of story-yeah!!!!!!
    Have found a vehicle yet?? You both are cruising the car lots yet looking. One of these days you will find what works for you. You will know it when you see it.
    The potatoes thing. I know what you are talking about there. My grandmother used to have me cut all the spouts out of the potatoes so she could use them for cooking and making a meal. I think that is what you and Dougo were talking about. Don’t think they do that now days????? Right Amy ????? Oh well.
    Guess that is about it today. Really enjoyed your conversations today. Was a fun relaxing time with both of you!!!!!! You both made my day!!!!!!!!

    Devils Lake has inundated something like 150,000 acres of farmland that had been farmed since it was homesteaded. ND climate turned wetter in 1993 and the lake, which has no natural outlet, (some say it drifted shut with soil in the 30's) kept growing until they put in some big pumps & pipes to drain it off where it would have eventually spilled over (and still may someday) and ran into the Sheyenne River. Many many farms were lost some moved their houses. One story is of someone moved their house 20 miles only to have the lake in their back yard again years later.There was a documentary about it on PBS some years ago.

Then years later I dated a girl from northern Kentucky and her dad put his potatoes on straw in his garden covered them with straw and a tarp on them and they never sprouted during the winter.
