Your Dad is hilarious. Love it.
As I said before this is y favorite channel on RUclips . Love your family
Your Peppers are looking good. The Tomatoes are doing well. Thanks Andrew for all the videos. Take Care and Be safe on the farm. Out
So, this past Friday we took a weekend trip from Levittown, Long Island to visit the Veggie boys Farm and bought a handful of fresh vegetables and flowers. My father met Andrew and his father and the Veggie girls who were ALL so polite as you could imagine. Thank you very much for taking the time to say hello to my dad, who now wears the Veggie Boys shirt proudly as he gardens
I love this show. That little Kelly is growing up so quickly.. Iam still irying to find out how to combat Fruitfly in tomatoes. Any ideas. Thank you.
By the way . I live in Soldiers Point nsw AUSTRALIA
I want all those veggies. Lord if I was anywhere near enough, I would be getting me a bushel of everything and a lot of corn for the freezer.
I was exhausted by the time you hit the fields😂
Zucchini are sticky. I get weirded out with the texture 🤣🤣😩😩
I love eating it though
Hello there, I'm a longtime viewer from the Philippines 🇵🇭 and I love how you deal with your farm and those animals🤩🤩🤩 KEEP PLANTING AND GROWING AND I'LL BE WATCHING 🥰🥰🥰.
Awesome video 👍👍. Love tomatoes 🍅
Let's make like a tree "And get out of here" lol. Back to the Future.
18 pack of eggs are down to $1.99 locally.
As a follower of your videos . When you asked who is excited , Raise your hand . My hand went up immediately . I am wanting your Farm to do an amazing year . Your videos show just how much work and effort is put into farming . So we wish all of you the Best ! Ray in Pa.
I raised my hand too! Lol
My granddaughter raises her hand and yells “Me”! 😂😂😂

Smiles are fertilizer for the channel.
The littlest veggie girl makes the whole video worth watching...so precious 💕
Your Farm is ALL about Hard Work, Efficient Methods, High Production, Farm Market, and Callie. Pennsylvania is Very Lucky to have Ochs Farm to Shop at👍🙏
Is that Bev at the 14:44 mark? ❤ (first time viewer)
@25:00 YES it is!! She treated me so well when I was a teenager! Sending my love.❤
Oh my, tell Grammy that meal sure looks delicious!!! Love hearing the snap of those green bell peppers being picked. Beautiful veggies, all. Callie is the sweetest ever. Tell Petey he is too quiet.
Glad you decided to keep Petey. A one man crew😅
I missed Petey
@@luketarplinme too! He’s so cute!
Petey is a working man and I enjoy seeing him working!
Petey Rocks on the Farm! 👍🙏

I love watching you guys farming. Such a close nit family. I love hearing baby Calie in the intro. Take care guys.
You guys are incredible farmers. Grandpa is an impressive man. He doesn’t stop working. He’s an inspiration for us old guys. As far as plants that sting, you guys need to pick some okra if you want your arms cut up. I worked on a farm as a kid, and the first time I picked okra, no one told me they would make me itch. By the time we finished, my arms were bleeding from scratching.
The pickers!
Agreed! I have to wear long sleeves or get a rash with curcubits and okra.. even the ‘spineless’ ones.

I've been watching your videos with my 6y/o granddaughter. She loves your “good morning “ intro to every video. Now when we are driving down in Texas, she points out what's planted. She loves your harvesting of peppers… especially Cherry Peppers 😂 and corn. We both love the mums growing in the greenhouses. She loves watching little Callie helping and her bye-bye 😊😊😊 at the end is precious. Thanks for sharing all the hard work that goes into farming. ❤
Suggestion maybe… We have found that leaving stem ends on tomato fruit can cause damage to other harvested tomatoes next to the stems in harvest baskets, buckets and display tubs. So if you have been seeing unexplained holes in harvested tomato fruit when you are putting them out for display, those stems left on might be the cause.
What I am happy to see is that you all do not wait until your tomatoes are ripe before you harvest! : ) Yes, a ripe tomato is more pleasing to the eye, but they have a very short shelf life, especially when dealing with a huge harvest.
For plum tomatoes it’s not really an issue, but with the round tomatoes we always remove the tops.

Yay Petey and Callie Rose… 👍😃
How did the field of cole crops that were unsold seedlings go?
Hello Luke!👋🏼 Can I pick your brain? I live in Minnesota & have been unsuccessful growing determinate & indeterminate cherry & regular tomatoes on my very small deck. I have always used a 5gallon pot with them & fertilize with Miracle Grow-Flower & Veggie the soil is usually prepped with Osmocote-Granules. Can you recommend changes I need to make? Is there a source of information that would help with my specific situation? Thxs! I Hope you’re doing well!
They’re doing ok. We had some trouble with them due to the intense heat, but hopefully we will be able to harvest some cabbage. Thanks for stopping by! Love your content.
I’m not Luke, but I may be able to help. What specific problems are you having?
From the get go, a lot of miracle grow fertilizers are high in nitrogen content which will give you lots of leaves and not the fruits you are looking for. Miracle grow does make a fertilizer specifically for tomatoes so if you going to use that brand, that’s a better option for you to pick. A good 10-10-10 (N-P-K) fertilizer will do well for tomatoes. I generally like to fertilize with blood meal (nitrogen), bone meal (phosphorus) and a triple rock phosphate for long term release, and finally a little bit of ash (potash) for the potassium based of a simple soil test I do to see what is deficient in the soil. I also add a little Epsom salts which is magnesium sulphate and the kind I use also has calcium in it. That will help prevent blossom end rot and is useful for cellular activity but also helps with fruit production. For fruiting vegetable you want more phosphorus than nitrogen or potassium because that specific macronutrient promotes root growth and fruit production. The saying goes, bigger roots, bigger fruits. Which leads me to the next thing, growing in a 5 gallon bucket might be hindering you. It is possible to do but you need great drainage so the the soil does not stay water logged. You also need to water deeply enough that it saturated the soil but doesn’t dissolve and wash away and nutrients you add. It’s important for soil to cycle between wet and somewhat dry because roots need oxygen and if you keep the roots too wet too long, you basically will suffocate the plant and kill it. For this I would recommend growing in 10 gallon fabric pots. It’s practically impossible to over water in them and the fabric pots promote air pruning of the roots and also allow air to get to the roots easier than a solid wall container like a bucket. You want to water deeply so the soil in the bottom of the container gets wet and as the top dries out, the roots will seek deeper soil where it’s moist. This promotes root growth which as I said earlier, bigger roots, bigger fruits. Tomatoes like warm weather but too hot can cause issues. That being said as long as night time temps are over 50°F and you get daytime temps into at least the 70’s then you should have good growth and fruit production. If your having issues with fruit setting on the vine, like the flowers are dying off, there could be nutrient issues, high heat, high humidity, etc but it could also be as simple as the fruit not getting pollinated. Tomatoes have a self pollinating flower so to help more fruit to set you can shake your plants and various branches with flowers on them to help the pollen fall inside the flower from the stamen to the stigma. Some people utilize a vibrating toothbrush to touch near the flower and vibrate it loose. It is quite effective but if you have a lot of plants, would be very time consuming. This shouldn’t even be necessary though. As long as your plants have access to wind, which should shake them just fine and even insects crawling on your plants will help pollinate them too.
I can go on and on but I figure this is enough basic information for now, but if you let me know what specific issue you are having, I would gladly let you know what can be done to correct the issue. If you start out with good healthy soil, and water regularly, most issues won’t even present themselves. For the most part anyway. You’ll almost always get a blight if not early blight, then late blight but this can actually be avoided completely. To my surprise last year I had zero blight and zero disease on my tomato plants. They stayed healthy, green, lush and productive all the way till just before winter when I tore them out. That was last year and was the only year ever where I’ve had that happen. So yeah, there’s that.
Anyway, I look forward to hearing back from you. Always willing to help out a fellow grander. Have a great day!
Well hello Luke, my two favorite RUclipsrs here in the same paragraph.
Do you guys watch Sew The Land? Jason also calls his baby chicks “Nuggets “ 😂😄
Just LOVE the sound of the vegetable HARVEST ❤️❤️❤️ The tomatoes 🍅 looking good 👍👍👍 Another good busy varied video Andrew 👏👏👏👏 Love from the UK x
Love all your videos. Wish you could post videos everyday. Take care Andrew and to your family
PLEASE THANK GRANDMA FOR FEEDING ALL OF YOU KIDS!!! MANY PRAYERS FOR YOU ALL 🙏🏻 NURSE JUDI IN SCOTTSDALE AZ AND EUCHARISTIC MINISTER. ❤❤❤
Nothing better than harvest time, the wonderful fruits of your labor. Nice to see you making money and making customers happy.
Hi Andrew, Have you ever tried Super Sauce Tomatoes? Like a Plum Tomatoe but HUGE! Very few seeds and Skins come off very easy for canning. God Bless.
Two minutes in, already 7 comments are here
Wonderful and beautiful family!!! ❤️❤️
What can I do with the long hots?
I just got zucchini, yellow squash, flaming jade peppers, cayenne, habanero, tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes, and a honeydew!
Great Blessed Day Family!!❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰
I love the pickling cucumbers. I was just eating one while watching! Great idea with the sweet stock corn for the cattle. 👍🏻 That would be me at 5:28 😃 Beautiful tomatoes! I'm excited too! 🙋🏻♀🙋🏻♀✋🏻✋🏻 Grandma's dinner looks delicious 🥰🥰
Grammie can make sweet pickles out of the the little cucumbers.
First
I love watching y'all pick veggies. I admire how hard you all work. Callie steals the show. Love everyone of you. God bless you!
Enjoy the cooler weather. It was 104 here yesterday and 99 here at 4:30. That's Mobile, Al. for you.
👋 from 🇩🇪
Is it just me, or does it seem like you JUST started planting seedlings outside? Where did the time go?
I'm surprised you pick zucchini that big. Around here, the Mennonites pick them at 6-8 nches for their produce market. Its a good size for sauteing with onions and garlic. I guess folks must be making zucchini pizzas with those bigger ones. I figured Brian was pretty close to the same age as me. He's two years younger.
Yep, you plant and reap, but the Lord brings the increase.
Mr. Stripey's have been my favorites for decades, but they haven't done real well for me in the last few years. Our Mennonite greenhouse hasn't had them, and I've had to start them myself. Mine aren't as sturdy as theirs, and they haven't survived transplant. Your cabbages still got huge, in spite of the weeds.

3:32 😂 it looks like the cow is just walking around
Was Dad at Ag Progress Days for his corn updates?
Making cattle pellets with whatever is not market grade? Someone I do have an idea and I'm pretty sure pet parents and farmers will be intereses in good proteins at very low cost, Recycling I live cross the street of a supermarket chain and the amount of produce good but no looking the best for the customer dumps every day is impressive.
The only folks that work harder than farmers are vegetable farmers. Love them tomatoes.
My Vita-mix makes quick tomato sauce out of tomatoes!
Buckle up, that’s the opening shot for the annual skins/no skins debate!
@@janetmaher1116… lol
You know Andrew you guys need more parking 😊
So exciting!!! Love you guys. ❤
Ok i see it now😊
1🎉
Tomatoes!
Did you plant a bit of heirlooms like you did in previous years? Can we see some? I love looking at pretty tomatoes.
11:02 “A farmer’s never out of school”. Wise words.
Yeah tomatoes 🫵
Good evening guys
Callie is so cute
I just love seeing all those gorgeous veggies on the wagon. After watching you pick Cubanelles last year I decided to try them. Harvested them and stuffed them. Oh my goodness! Mine were vegetarian and I made sausage stuffing for everyone else. Definitely planting them again next year. One of the many benefits of watching The Veggie Boys is finding new things to plant.
How come I never see you guys eat one of them hot peppers out in the field😂🌶️🌶️
Wondering in summer why isn’t the cows out in the fields of grass
Hello from S W Michigan.
I can't believe how fast this year went. Just a few shows ago I was watching you put them in the ground and now we are picking corn and bell peppers and tomatoes. I'm thinking down the road Callie be in charge but she will hire people to harvest And Plant. I'm still thinking it could be an educational place to train people how to properly plant and harvest.
So glad Brian found his pants. Your p.jj. pants look comfy after another long day. Thanks for taking us along!
Taco salad and jello……interesting. Your grandmother makes awesome lunches but this combination is interesting.
Nice harvest! The whole family is awesome - and you guys truly enjoy what your are doing!! Great job!
I'd love to have those huge cabbages. We don't get them that size in our shops, & I'm battling slugs after a certain size in my garden.
Great video! You’re good at editing, that’s for sure.
I would love to see what your local info about what you're harvesting is?? Is it word of mouth? Newsletter, social media??
They've been there for 8 generations. I'm sure most local people know them. I would think the rest by word of mouth. I think a sign out front (?)
thanks so much!
@@harrietweber2520
Petee.... ok, how does he spell his name?
Anyways, glad to see him back!
Good work gang- heads up would make sure doing nitrate testing on the chopped sweet corn feeding directly to the cattle to ensure in proper safety level zone for the herd
Just started tomato harvest. Did 1/2 bushel into spaghetti sauce, and second half is making BBQ sauce now.
How do you keep the chickens away from the ripe tomatoes? I would hate to see holes in the tomatoes!
I don't believe they're allowed to roam.
Nice Tomato🍅🌽🌶🥒
Bet you are glad you live up north. Here in Texas it is over 100 degrees.
Yum. Do you carry a salt shaker when you pick tomatoes? I sure would. 🤩
Andrew… you should do tours through the farm in your side by side. I used to work at Linvilla Orchards driving the tractor doing hey ride tours through the farm and explaining about the different things grown on the farm.
Do you guys deal with squash bugs
I am excited for you, tomatoes, all your vegetables, and animals look really good!! Your videos are great!!
VB&G, God blesses your farm with so much harvest each day. It’s amazing to watch you all work together to make it all work. Blessings from WA State.
Thank you Andrew. Living at 7500ft and a very small yard, I find it tricky to garden. I love watching your videos.
I always forget how much earlier I start getting tomatoes. Im waiting on the third planting to come in now. I direct seeded zucchini and patty pans in the first rows and they're getting close to producing.
Rewards of your labor looking abundant
Glad to see the tomatoes. Delicious.
Would you ever grow some vegetable plants in the green house over winter??
I'm a vegetarian but I laughed at "Good morning, little nuggets!" Too funny!!
Just love when all the family gets together . You all are great .
I was beginning to worry that your tomatoes were not doing good. Tomatoes in our neck of the woods are horrible. Everybody is struggling with tomatoes yellow squash, and you can't find a cucumber anywhere. Hooray for the veggie boys' tomatoes!
Greens for the chickens? The ladies would love greens. Leaves, broccoli, peppers, cabbage. Nice tender and not-so-tender outer leaves. Fiber, nutrients, and tasty for a change from dry grains. My ladies love greens!
Those are some juicy lookin tomatoes!
Fried green tomatoes are good too.
Do u wash ur eggs?
Yes they do... had a bit in one segment where they showed how they did it.
Could you discuss any adventures you have in raising certain types of veggies that you decided NOT to try again? (Like maybe crop failures) We we’re wondering why you don’t grow celery, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc. Thanks, and great content as always!
Florida gardener here, you have to choose crops that flourish in your zone. I grew up in Kalamazoo Michigan and it's called celery city for a reason. There are so many variations and what grows great in my neighbors garden might not do well in my garden. Plants can be tempermental. It takes time and experimenting to find what grows in your garden. Still learning here after 50 years of growing!
What grows there might not do well where you live. For example in north Alabama we’ve been picking vine ripe tomatoes since June 28th. I can’t believe they are just now starting to pick in mid-August.
I think they don't grow carrots because of the rocky soil
More cheesy dad jokes please. In a previous video, several of you were picking on grandpa for showing up after all the hard work was done. Next time just call him blister, showes up after hard work.
The tomatoes look amazing, beautiful harvest.
Nothing tastier than a homegrown tomato 🍅🍅🍅
Thank you
My wife and have been loving your videos for at least a year now and still catching up on your earlier ones. A debate or is it a question we have been tossing back and forth in our house is about your cattle. We watch you care for them every day but you have yet to talk about why you raise them? You obviously don’t have dairy cows. Are they for personal consumption? Do you sell your own beef at the market? Would live to know more about your herd.
