I’m listening to this as audio while weeding my garden. And then I hear you read your son the words on his shirt. As a gay male who’s new to gardening and growing food, who has a dad who did *not* do what you did, I want to thank you for displaying character and compassion. ❤️
If I have ever lost something, I invite a toddler over with parent and have them look. They find it all the time. Young people are so cool! I miss my kids when they were young. Adults won't look for your stuffs willingly! Lol! Most excellent video. Peace on your doorstep!
My grandson is four and has long hair. His daddy (my son) is 33 and has long hair. I asked my little Archer one day if he wanted to get his hair cut. He looked at me, ran his hands thru it, and said “I like it like this”. Lol Gotta love it. He is smart, kind, and full of sweet goodness. Who cares if he likes his hair long. God bless your sweet babies. 👩🌾💙💙💙
I have to say I love the shirt and his hair. My son always liked his dark wavy hair long and I thought it looked really good on him. He is 38 now and it is still shoulder length and i still think it looks good on him, lol.
I have one of those old canister vacuum (the flat ones that have the bags that wrap around the motors from the 70's-80's) that I inherited. My daughter loves to play with corn kernels in all of her art projects. Just last week I was vacuuming the sofa and picking kernels up while they were popping in the vacuum.
Love the T shirt and I'm not cutting my hair either. When our son graduated high school he was asked when he was going to cut his hair. He said he was growing his hair long like Jesus. End of discussion. I'm going to look for a cornsheller and set it up like yours. This is great!
Completely unintended, but hilarious nonetheless. He's had that shirt for a while and he dresses himself. I didn't notice he was wearing it until we were shelling the corn and thought, how appropriate! lol
We grew the glass gem too, here in California during our prime growing season and our ears were the same size as yours. Got a great yield and they were beautiful, just not the size I expected. I hope you know the inspiration you are, would have never thought about farming in plots with drip the way I do now. Collards and okree were not in our vocabulary. Many Thanks! God Bless Y'all!
They are really good. The seeds are more pricey than standard mustard and harder to find (which might be why they're not as popular), but it seems like most folks that do grow them like them a lot.
Your Mustard greens looks great. I need to pour the fertilizer to them because they are on the small side. I will say that my Arrow peas are doing great.
The pests got to my Red Giant Mustard, but I had some seedlings on stand by. They are really spicy and so pretty to look at too! 😁 The Savannah Mustard reminds me of one of the Chard varieties I'm growing with the long stalks. Very easy to clean. 👍🏾👍🏾
I shelled corn for my granddaddy using this type sheller in the early 1950's. Wish I had that sheller today. Love seeing you and the boys working together. Got my shirts and hats, they are very nice. Christmas gifts for and my chicken growing neighbor ladies.
Looking good, Travis! As you know, the first couple of years are the worst for weeds - this is my first year here and I've got nut grass and chickweed, and an assortment of other minor aggravations. All I can do it keep at it with the single tine cultivator and the wheel hoe when it's dry enough, and till and tarp where I can. Y'all taught me to keep at it and have patience. Keep your fingers crossed that it'll be dry enough to get at it again tomorrow!
Good on the Glass Gem. What a great harvest. A million-thousand-hundred at least. That Savannah mustard is attractive. Are the stems tender enough to eat or do you strip out the stems?
Another great video Travis. I grow Curly leaf mustards. Sometimes the flavor is very intense with them. Haven't tried the Savanna variety. Will have to do so.
I definitely want to try that mustard! I need a bigger garden space for the corn. Although I did grow a few stalks last year with less success than yours but it is so pretty, I want a bigger spot to grow more. Can't wait to see you grind or pop and use it on a video.
I'm surprised how long my mustards are holding up here in suburban Toronto (zone 6). Thought they weren't supposed to handle hard freezes, but we've had 5 nights that dropped to 19-23F and they're still looking great. They're not really growing because the day-time highs are usually only around 30-50F but they're storing in the garden just fine. Same deal with the bok choy that I also thought was supposed to do poorly in hard frosts (it's baby leaf sized though, maybe larger leaves wouldn't have done as well?).
Sometimes it's not necessarily the temperature but how "hard" the freeze is. It's really hard to tell if they're going to get damage or not. I've seen them survive 25 degrees some years and seen 34 get them other years.
From a seriously Blond Headed much Older and Moldier Titus I'm not cutting my hair either. On a serious note keep in your prayers all those in Kentucky and surrounding States that not only lost almost everything they owned but lost Loved One's also in that monster Tornado Storm the night of the 10th.
Yay! Free Okree seeds! I sure hope my beanie that I ordered (That you said was Brooklyn's favorite color) is supposed to arrive on Monday has garlic with it. I'm a little behind ya'll in getting the elephant garlic planted tho. My Mustards should be pretty easy to clean as well. I've got both Florida broadleaf and red mustards in my GreenStalk. Sure do enjoy seeing the boys in your video. Tell Brooklyn Hi.
I've found that weed fabric is my best way of controlling my weeds, I'm not physically able to use a wheel hoe. I have given my onions enough nitrogen to grow anything and they are growing so slow if we got a hard freeze, they would be toast. Travis see if we can get Safa mira seed potatoes. They are very good and produce huge Yukon like potatoes. The English grow them and I read several years ago that they would be available in the U.S. soon. You probably know suppliers I don't.
I haven't heard of that particular variety, but I can ask around. I'm planning on trying a few new varieties from Wood Prairie Farms -- varieties I've never tried in the past.
Curious to hear how your planting of “Imperial” is doing? The Sakata rep. told me it was a variety with strong heat tolerance; considered a spring planting and early summer harvest variety? We’ve had plenty of warm weather, but the daylight hours have been short. Have the reduced daylight hours made a difference.. how would you compare it against “Green Magic” or “Arcadia”? ….. Thanks! Travis
I just planted Imperial transplants alongside Green Magic, so we'll have a trial to compare. I've heard the same things about Imperial. But considering we are gonna hit 80 degrees next week and our winter temps are so variable, I thought it might be worth a try.
Not related but the agrothrive fertilizer you use I have a question? I bought some last year and found that it would clog the screen inside the fertilizer injector. Have you had this problem? I took the screen off but I think it also clogged up the drip tape. Advice is welcome because I’ve used it to just pour on potted plants and like how they respond to it.
There does seem to be a point where you can get it too viscous inside the tank. I haven't had any issues with the drip, but I did mix a good bit in the tank one time and it had trouble injecting through my overhead sprinkler. I think the easy solution is to mix less in the tank and feed more frequently -- lower concentrations, but more frequent feeding.
Any tomato can be used for tomato soup. Depending on the tomato you will have to adjust sugar salt onion garlic you can add celery mild or hot peppers, depends really on what you expect your tomato soup to be.
@Bee Leener We don't make a lot of tomato soup. We can most of ours as what most folks would call "stewed tomatoes." I like determinate varieties like Bella Rosa, Red Snapper, and Roadster because they make lots of tomatoes at one time. This allows us to can a bunch at a time as opposed to doing small batches.

Well, geez, Dad - you said you needed to shell the corn! (I think Titus qualifies as all boy. You have some interesting years ahead!)
You got that right!
I have to say I love the shirt and his hair. My son always liked his dark wavy hair long and I thought it looked really good on him. He is 38 now and it is still shoulder length and i still think it looks good on him, lol.
Glad you approve! lol

Lots of zeros in that number ... lol
Love your taste in music
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the selections.
Good on you for keeping the boys involved!
Thanks Jeff!
Love glass gem corn❤❤
Us too!
Love the video and love the T-shirt ♥️ you have a handsome little helpers
Thanks Sarah!
Look at that smart corn sheller! And it isn’t even hooked to a computer!!! 😉😜. I’m super interested in how well it grinds up into corn meal…
Some of that pre-internet technology! lol
That savanna mustard is good stuff
True story!
Great videos Travis, them boys of yours is a hoot.
They keep us on our toes for sure!

Look on Ebay for Black Hawk Corn Shellers. You should be able to find one pretty easily.
Done
"I'm a boy and I'm not cutting my hair". That's one in the eye of the fashion critics. A blow for free expression.

Great to hear Gary! Glad you're on the collard and okree bus now!
I’m liking the Savannah mustard.
Good to hear. It's a solid variety.
I really like this video would love to see you grind the corn and make grits
Once we get a grinder, we'll try to show that.
This is my first year growing them. Pretty impressed with them. Eat good.
They are really good. The seeds are more pricey than standard mustard and harder to find (which might be why they're not as popular), but it seems like most folks that do grow them like them a lot.
Your Mustard greens looks great. I need to pour the fertilizer to them because they are on the small side. I will say that my Arrow peas are doing great.
We haven't fertilized ours any except for the preplant fertilizer that we put in the planting furrow. That seemed to be enough.
The pests got to my Red Giant Mustard, but I had some seedlings on stand by. They are really spicy and so pretty to look at too! 😁
The Savannah Mustard reminds me of one of the Chard varieties I'm growing with the long stalks. Very easy to clean. 👍🏾👍🏾
It does look a little like chard. The more you cut it, the longer the stalks get and the cleaner the greens are.
I shelled corn for my granddaddy using this type sheller in the early 1950's. Wish I had that sheller today.
Love seeing you and the boys working together.
Got my shirts and hats, they are very nice. Christmas gifts for and my chicken growing neighbor ladies.
Thanks for the order Larry! Glad you got them quick.
Homegrown mustard greens are soooo good. It’s my newest favorite green.
Yes they are! And they cook pretty fast so you can have a meal in no time!
Looking good, Travis! As you know, the first couple of years are the worst for weeds - this is my first year here and I've got nut grass and chickweed, and an assortment of other minor aggravations.

I'm hoping it's dry enough tomorrow for me to plant another round of broccoli and cauliflower. We shall see ...
Chickweed is edible
great video Travis , cant wait to see the crop in the spring .
Thanks Bradley! I get all excited just thinking about growing corn.
I planted some mustard from Hoss recently as a cover/till crop and they’re doing well.
Good to hear. Mustard makes a great cover crop.
Good on the Glass Gem. What a great harvest. A million-thousand-hundred at least.
That Savannah mustard is attractive. Are the stems tender enough to eat or do you strip out the stems?
Yes, the stems are tender. We eat the stems and all.
If you add those marigold petals to your laying hens feed, you’ll get the brightest egg yolks you ever seen, supposedly a old Japanese farmer trick.
Definitely planning on doing that!
I still vote for planting colored seed block to see if u get more greens and blues....
I might eventually do that after we do a big growout in spring.
Another great video Travis. I grow Curly leaf mustards. Sometimes the flavor is very intense with them. Haven't tried the Savanna variety. Will have to do so.
Savanna is much milder IMO. I've yet to hear someone try it and not like it.
@@LazyDogFarm Thanks I'll give it a try.

Yep corn is one of those crops that will do better if you've got a decent-sized block to plant.

There will be garlic in the box! Thanks for your order.
In Chicago it is cold.no T shirt here.
Supposed to hit 80 here next week.
So nice
What mustard variety gives the dark brown seeds for condiments?
Good question. I dunno. I would guess that some of the spicier varieties would make a good mustard, but not sure.
Corn furnished pretty good. Boys are gonna be boys, at least it was on the floor, could've been at a lot worse places!!!! ✌
You got that right!

Anybody know a mustard plant that is curley?
The traditional "Southern Giant Mustard" variety has a curled leaf.
@@LazyDogFarm thank you I will look into it
And now you know why the greenhouse has a lock.
Haha. The rollup sides make the lock pretty pointless. He just reaches in there and gets what he wants.

I have not. Should I?
@@LazyDogFarm I think it would look nice
If you need some containers for your okra seeds I've got a deal for you..
Send me an email (lazydogfarmyt@gmail.com). I'd be interested to hear more about what you have.
Also Savanna mustard taste way better than Fla mustard.
