    As far as the "sales" comment made to you, I appreciate the products you offer and explain. Some people tend to forget that not all of us sit at a computer or stare at a screen all day so you informing the public, especially the new gardeners, is a service that is necessary. If you have a new product, I learn about it from your videos because I admit I do not get on the internet 16 hours a day. Just know that the vast majority appreciate all that Hoss Tools does. Most truly are grateful for the information and that is why we tune in. This show helped me decide on which potato to order from you guys this year so I am glad you showcased that in the video. The old goat is in the bowl behind Greg. Great show as always. Thank you for your hard work. To the grumpsters....Bless your little heart.

    I think it’s a great idea to have Mama Hoss’s Grandmother on the show. There is no education like we can obtain from our elders. My Parents used to tell me about things they did to save and skimp during the Great Depression. We could all learn a lot from this generation. The generation that saved this nation.
    Please have her on the show! We can weed through any craziness! Stay warm.

    As generous as you all are with teachings and learnings about garden life, you most certainly have a right to "sell" your wares whatever form they take. Thank you!

    Just keep doin what you're doin! This is your livelihood. Both the business aspect and the best dad gum garden show on the internet. I don't see any other company out there doing what yall do. You invite us into your lives and share your passion, experience, and expertise. Why wouldn't you promote your products with the amount of people you reach. Now, if you talk 80% sales and 20% gardening I might speak to that. Anyway, that's my 4 cents. Again, keep it up love y'all!

    Another tip with folks that has a back that likes to hurt from binding over to plant potatoes. Go to Lowe’s and get you a grip and grab it’s the best picker upper you find . The way I do it I take my bucket with my cut taters and pick up what I can hold and then take the grabber with my other hand and grab it eyes up and set it in the hole . Then cover . So easy and your back will thank you

    I just got another order from y'all. I was so excited I took a picture when I was still in my car at the post office. I sent it to my family that I grow with. Lol
    Y'all sell the type of corn and tomatoes my father in law grew, so my hubby likes to grow because his dad did. I may have threw a few more seeds on the order I wanted, too 😂
    I'm particular about salesy-ness. I think y'all are very easy to listen to. I think since the videos are under your business name, I'd kinda expect even more.
    Anyway, I know you have to do what the people want so you can get the information to them about how to grow food.
    I actually had a lady at the post office that asked me if sweet potato grew above or below the ground. I said they grow like regular potatoes but with long vines. She said sooo.... above ground on vines?
    We live rural now. Like a 2A school with only one campus for all grades. No stop lights...
    People need to know how their food is grown at least.
    I wish everyone would pick just one thing and plant one thing to understand a little of what farmers do.

I like the Yukon gold. I do have some covers on my collards and celery and chard. I hope it will survive the 18 degrees coming this week. No covers on my onions, garlic, and carrots.
