- Today we are working gardens, it is a busy time of year for outside work, growing your own food ain't easy but boy is it rewarding. We planted Honey Select Sweet corn using our HOSS planter and also an Earthway planter. The old saying goes here, when the dogwoods are blooming its time to plant corn so here we go!

Meagan is the coolest most beautiful woman on the planet. I hope one day I can find a queen like her to love and grow old with. I wish y'all all the love and happiness that life can bring.
thank you!!
Meagan is for sure a rare one, Andy is a lucky man !!!!!!
I swear i watch yall just for that thick southern accent 😂
Just as an example of how boring my 70 year-old life has become, I want to let you know how excited and happy (almost giddy, in fact lol) I get when I start up this PC and see that there is a new video from you to start my morning 😁. At this point, I am glad to sit here with my morning coffee and watch your family do their homestead stuff, and it makes me relaxed, and a bit envious. LOL I thank you for these bits of sunshine in my mundane and ordinary day.
74 here and I feel the same.
72 feel the same. Brings back memories of when I was young😊❤
American made mean’s a lot this day and time
Meagan is a natural beauty & the kind of woman a man needs.
YES she is!😇 Great family and great KIDS!!😇!😇!😇!
Hey You can grow just as much corn on a crooked row as you can a straight one!
Nobody likes a crooked row!
Most all my rows are crooked. I don't care.
@@Last_Chance. main thing with a straight row is if you’re doing your cultivation with a tractor it’s way easier. A crooked row is near impossible to plow through with a tractor. Boy these old timers around here have a fit when they see a crooked row lol. But you’re right in reality it doesn’t matter but I think it’s more about esthetics than anything.
I always say things grow better in a crooked row😂
I always say you get more in a crooked row.
Andy your the luckiest man on earth beautiful wife and children you are truly blessed.yall have a wonderful farm I used to the same thing but I’m disabled now and can’t do it anymore. Keep making the videos I really enjoy them
When my dad was still with us, he would have one of us kids holding a hoe at the opposite end of the garden and drive to the hoe to lay off rows with the garden tractor and plow. Each row was a hoe handle wide. Of course, our main garden was what used to be called a truck garden! It was around an acres in size, more or less. 😊
I had to stop watching the video for a little while !!I came in and started watching but when Mrs. Megan fired up that black stone with that bacon the video was cut off ! I had to go get something to eat. Can’t watch that taking place on an empty stomach ! Lol.
I was trying to figure out which one I enjoyed the most. The outside activities that’s going on or watching her cook those delicious meals. Then it came to me. I thoroughly enjoy both of those but for me it’s watching you 4 functioning as 1 family. That my friends is priceless !! Sadly not seen to much these days and that’s the highlights of these videos ! Love the videos and sending y’all lots of love from Texas ! God bless y’all.
thank you
We appreciate the honest review of both planters!
I want to let you know that you have inspired me to teach my grandchildren about growing our own vegetables and how to can them. My daddy and Papa both had farms (part time). I grew up shelling peas (I hated that, I will buy them pre shelled from the state farmers market). This year we are growing their favorite things, strawberries, cucumbers, squash and tomatoes. I am also growing potatoes (I can’t wait to see their faces when they pull a carrot and dig potatoes). I remember helping my mom can tomatoes and tomato juice. My dad planted over 100+ tomato plants. You should really try a tomato sandwich,only with Duke Mayo, there’s nothing better. I am older than your father Andy, and I am killing myself setting up a container garden, but I am going to do this. Thank you both for your lovely videos. We have 49 acres in Rowan county and 100 acres in Davie County. I grew up in Winston-Salem. My dad was a dentist in W-S and King. We are in Cary now. My husband is a retired lawyer/electrical engineer. My biggest problem so far is that he has been watering stuff behind my back. Bless him he thinks he’s helping! It’s the engineer in him!
I love you guys. I live in an apartment and live vicariously through you. I have a small patio and I’m going to plant everything I can.
awesome!
I like the way Andy explained how it works .I am not a farmer but I like to learn about new things
I always get excited when I hear an old tractor start up. It’s the little things. 😊
When I was a young pup in the early 1960s we had mostly truck farms around the county. The men would get together and have plowing matches to see who could plow the straighter rows. Bragging rights till the next year!
exactly! people round here will judge you if you got crooked rows lol
Hi Megan
Your hair looks so pretty 🤗
When the dogwoods are blooming here in Arkansas, that means the suckers and red horse are coming up into the creeks
Another great video. Thanks for putting the older ones on there that I didn’t get to see them now I get a chance to see them . thank you. They are so good.❤
Wow those starts look great.
Everything from Hoss is great. IMO❤❤
🌱🦋🐥💐🐦so 😎 cool
Your videos are awesome! You work so hard girl and that’s amazing I need some of your strength
Hi Guys. So fun seeing the toys operating. Your shot underneath the tractor seeing how it all worked straight cutting was fascinating. Your green starts looked so healthy I thought you just got back from a Nursery. You guys were ready to get that Rye pulled out of there. You sure had a georgous day there. I was happy seeing you able to do your work on such a beautiful day.
S
Loved our visit today with y'all, thanks for taking us along.
It ain't nitpicky when it comes to your back.🌽
I now know what the true meaning of Dogwood Winter is. We are experiencing that this weekend and upcoming week. Temperatures here in Richmond, Virginia are getting down in the low to mid 40s at night
I love your kitchen cabinets..
Thanks!
Great day in the gardens, you'll figure out a way to use the row marker to drag a lot easier on the HOSS Planter. It is definitely a better planter much easier to use. Got everything going in the ground at the right time so you should have a great harvest and fill your cellar with lots of great home canned goods. Looks good around there and the meals are outstanding. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe and keep up the fun around there too. Fred.
Beginning our life style change.
I'm 65; my wife, 5yr old grandson and our daughter are in the process of selling pretty much everything, including our home and cars. Searching for property in another state. We are ready to build from the ground up or purchase a small established homestead. You are an inspiration to the lifestyle.
Will men ever learn that reading instructions is a time saver in the long run?😂 I doubt it. Its just a man thing! Hope the corn does great!
Andy said Running string is for sissy's!! Lolol.
Like The planter and I like how you can go slow at a higher RPM and not have to worry about choking off.
I really appreciate y’all
Yet another great video of watching a beautiful family care for themselves. So grest to see in these times we are living. Wish I was your neighbor. I would probably bug Megan to death asking questions and trying to learn.
Here in the PA Appalachians, we’ve decided to let the garden fallow this year and build soil. We will focus on a large planting project that has already started: the berries. I have additional strawberry plants to get in the ground and blueberry cuttings that hopefully are rooting. God gave us abundance last year, so we have the flexibility to do this, this year.
That Hoss seeder is obviously the better quality tool. And it looks good. And Andy a straight row doesn't grow better corn. 😁
looks better though!
I was raised the way yall are living and I still live the same way. Yall keep it up and God bless yall
Great, informative video, Andy! Love hearing the kids in the background!! Megan, your hair looks so pretty today!! Dinner looks really good!! Have a blessed night!
We drop seed by hand and fertilizer. We lay off rows with a PVC pipe and flags. It works good for us. I love watching y'all do things the way y'all do. The way we do our garden just makes it easier for us because we are 50 and older. Your ideas on cover crop and mulching is definitely something I will try when we finish our garden this year
April 27 & 28 we are having a Dogwood festival in Tell City , Perry county, Indiana 👍
I like that planter. It's heavy duty and will last a lifetime. Grandpa used to cover his potatoes back up when they would start popping through the soil. Y'all's plants look great. Have a great weekend!
Your hair is beautiful first time i've ever seen it down
thank you
We had 2 nights of freezing temps, so we won't put the corn in for a bit yet. We did get the potatoes and beans in, and I planted the strawberry plants today. The greenhose has the seed starts for our tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers, and flowers. So far, so good. I love to see your farm and family. God bless ❤😊
Meagan your hair looks great today! Enjoyed the different angle you videoed in the kitchen.❤
I have 2 Earthway planters. One I use to plant with the other one has the fertilizer attachment that is used to put granular fertilizer down along the rows. I found mine at auctions and yard sales. I pick one up for a friend. I paid nothing over $50.00.
Things are looking good y'all 👍🤠👍happy harvesting from here in Michigan ❤️
Thanks for sharing
Those starts are GORGEOUS! Great job!
thank you
Nice! There are two things that might help with your spacing. One is to see if you can get a hilling attachment for your tiller, then run your planter down the hill rows. The other would involve some tinkering. Take the spacer and see if you can attach a thin wheel to it, so it wouldn't dig into the ground, but would roll over it leaving a trail to follow.
Stumbled upon this channel and i love it! Watching from northern Ontario canada.
Welcome and thank you!
My uncle used to say, "A straight row contained less plants."
My daddy said the bugs couldn’t find the crops as well in a crooked row
Enjoyed watching!
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊 😊😊
I had a baked sweet potato for supper tonight.
It was beautiful here in NW Oregon and looks like today’s the same, got lots planted yesterday.Bee keeper came and collected a really nice honey bee swarm, hope this finds you and yours well.. plant on!!!
♥️✝️🇺🇸
Great videos, appreciate you two
I plant 1 crop of silver queen every year its my favorite and then a second crop serendipity or peaches and cream
We also fertilize with 10-10-10
we got your cookbook about a week ago and the wife really likes it. she made the buttermilk biscuits this morning and we love them. Ya can't get no "whoppim" biscuits to compare to these very much appreciate your cookbook. Like your channel a lot too. You are the kind of videos we like to watch. No B.S. Keep the good work
thank you
pin flags are the best thing i've used for (semi)straight rows. They are reusable but if you plant multiple varieties you can write on the flag and leave it.
I've never thought about writing on my flags - clever! 😮
@@classicrocklover5615 yep. i plant and sell pumpkins and generally grow around 30 varieties. I've used pin flags in different colors to mark when i change varieties within a row and the flags are tall enough that i can still see them fairly well even when the plants get tall.
thats a good idea!
Starts look great.👍
Keep a tape measurer in your pocket for row spacing if you're having a hard time seeing what/where you planted.
Supposed to be in the lower 40s this week....eeeek.. I have everything planted too. Crazy weather around here.
Thanks for the video.
I have been thinking about buying one of the planters.
I still don't know though lol.
its a lot to bite off for sure!
Good morning!
Was interesting and I learned some things.
Be safe all I never did this before have axe plently times good days 68 years a go you do like me I think it ought to be done but years have said slow down pray for me you need to fasten shelves to wall it will turn over
Happy Friday guys!!!
This is probably one of the better videos that I've seen on UA-cam with a comparison of the earthway planter and the hoss tools planter. I have found the same thing with both of mine. Long as you have clean sandy soil the earthway does really great but if you have a lot of leaf mulch that's not shredded leaves the Hoss planter the way to go. There ain't nothing like leftover pink eyed peas the second day for some reason they just taste better.
Loved it!! ❤❤xxoo
I’ve been using the hoss planter for four years. I think the heavy weight is a plus goes through the soil better. I use four sticks 36 inches long for my row marker and spacing. Put two in the end of the first row then use the other two to measure over for the next row and stick them in. Just keep piggy backing till you get all your rows in. Hope that makes sense. You can also take a drill and open the holes in the seed plates if your seeds get stuck
Harness the ole girl up and let her pull! 🤣
I like my Earthway too. Somethings it seeds too heavy ,somethings light. I never have to thin carrots or corn and it spits out halfrunners beans like crazy. Just found your channel and enjoy the content. My garden is on a slope too (Ky)
Y’all remind me of Adam and Eve before the fall// taking care of God’s garden. ❤️❤️
Great video, I have a Earthway planter and have been planting with it over 15 years. It was less than $100. when I bought it from the Co-op.
ours was $99 buck way back then when we bought it
Hey y'all, just found your channel 😊.
Not that far from you. Lexington NC
I love your new toy Randy. What a cool tractor. I saw the video when you got it and were showing it off. You know, a tractor like that is mostly good for only one thing, but it is GREAT for what it's good for, don't ya think? And those cultivators, man, what a cool tool. does a great job. You'd never think I was an equipment freak too would you? All my life on my little farm, my new Ferrari has always been a new tractor, or new zero turn mower, lol.
Same here!
I had seen the older one before and agree the new one is nicer. That being said getting 10 years out of the other one you got you money worth at of it. The new one looks like it will last longer and like you guys I am trying to buy American stuff. Cost a little more but you get what you pay for most of the time.
great cameraperson ~! you guys are good ~! Team TG YUM~!!
We always say when the whipper will 's start hollering at night it's time to plant corn. And when the dogwoods start blooming it's time to crappie fish. 😊.
Hey Andy, I can certainly relate to your ''2 tractors'' ordeal! I have a Farmall 100 like your 140 and a IH 274 ( like your Kubota) The Farmalls were the same from the A -140 ( touch control and gear shift pattern). The 274 ( made for IH by Komatsu) is completely the opposite! I told my wife it wouldn't be a problem if you'd never driven one of the older models! I have to continually remind myself that everything's backwards on the Japanese one! Lol🤔🤣🤣 All the best to you and Meagan (and kids) from Sophia, N.C.
oh yes i'm familiar with them 274s as well they are totally different
Dogwoods blooming here in southern WV too. And a few people chance it every year. But it's still too early for sweet corn or beans here.
Meagan, I got a copy of your cookbook and really enjoy looking at the recipes. I plan to try some of them real soon. If I ever get a chance to visit one of the festivals in your area, I'll bring the book with me and hope to get you to autograph it for me. Take care and God Bless.
thank you!
Love the way them youngin is always workin with y'all. Ole Andy tickles me ta death the way he goes into detail. Hade a brother that was the same way. You've got a purty head of young lady,you're very purty. Love youens! Hear me talkin to ya!
A video showing each tractor (and implement), truck, and car you own and reasoning for owning , would make a great one. Thanks.
we have a video showing all the tractors, it was when I bought the little kubota cultivating tractor, it would take me all day to show all my implements hahahaha
Good morning, from Grandview Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦. Snowing here a bit this a.m. brrr lol , nothing us old Canadians can't handle 😅 . A good month or more before the garden gets planted here. Anyway have a great day 👍.keep me the videos coming ❤
😂Hey gurlfriend... Gonna frost tonight.
Va 7a.
Did a little gardening.
I'm not feeling great but I'm on week 10 of a broken leg. So I gotta get after it.
Youth is wasted on the young. I sure wasted mine.
But such is life...
Im getting them hoss maters no matter if I have to drive down and ask Greg to make me a mater sandwich. Lol
Have a blessed day.
I know! Here too, fingers crossed for my poor little peaches lol
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays oh dang.... now that's sad
I also have 6 tomato plants that have been in the ground for 2-3 weeks and so far they seem to be doing just fine. I will be curious to see how they do. People say dont plant tomatoes yet blah blah blah lol😂
hahaha
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Our dogwood finished blooming 3 weeks ago
wow they're in their peak here right now
Could you use the row marker as a guide to line up on the previous pass? May have to cut a bit off the T.
No need for those planters...Daddy chop a hole for the plants with a hoe...one of the younguns following and dropping seed, Momma cover up the hole with a hoe...other youngun following with a small wagon loaded with water buckets...and give each hill of corn a dip of water. Our families did that for centuries...it works.
yea that way works too if ya got plenty of time to do it haha and plenty of help
Hey ya'll. Question. Can you eat the Popcorn just like you do the Field corn.Or ,what can be done with it. Thanks and God Bless ya'll
We usually just pop most of it, but I’ve heard you can grind it and feed it just like Field corn, we just haven’t ever personally done it ☺️
How do y’all water over where the potatoes are planted?
we dont have any water up there, usually we get enough rain to not worry about it, and our red clay tends to hold moisture well
Your corn seed looked orange or pink on the camera. Was it treated with something? If so, what was it treated with? Your seedlings look very healthy!!
most store bought sweet corn seed that ive ever seen is that color its treated with a fungicide
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays OK. Thank you.
Have to ask, did you put seed in the hopper of the smaller planter?
haha yes
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays
Just checking.
;-)
Andy. I think you might have to get your own channel.. We've been seeing alot of you.. which is a good thing... but less of Megan. which is not a good thing.. love you both and love watching you too.
We enjoy doing the channel together, unfortunately there are things that Andy has lots of knowledge about that I do not, also there is lots to be done as far as house work, that I ain’t gonna bore people with on the channel. If it weren’t for Andy there would be a lot less of UA-cam, I am blessed to have him by my side
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays I agree. I enjoy both of you guys. I can tell he likes doing it as well. It’s all good. You both are wonderful to watch. ❤️
He spends way too much time taking and not enough time showing. I think He likes hearing himself talk.
Well that’s rude, if you don’t like it I ain’t making you be here 🤣
