    My great grandfather was a man of virtue and dignity. He is one person I can honestly say I have not seen lying. I could listen to him for hours and not get tired. He was very supportive and guided you to what you wanted to do, not what he wanted you to do. I know he would have loved the farm if he was here with us. He is surely missed. Drop any questions here that you would like to know about him and his life; and also share your experience with your grandparents and great grandparents as well.

      I feel the same about my grandfather and also grandmother! I would love to have not only more gardening tips from your great grandfather, but also tips pertaining to surviving in times like ours, of economic recession. Thank you so much!

      I remember my grandparents and parents would collect the dried cow pies and put them all on the garden patch for tilling each year. I remember picking tomatoes, pulling carrots and potatoes, and nibbling on sweet beans as a child. Best food ever. Grandma's tomatoes are unforgettable.

    My great grandfather only made it through 8th grade and then he began farming full time, but when he passed we found some of his old notepads and they were filled with advanced trigonometry and chemistry equations.
    It’s important to remember that regardless of how intelligent we might think we are, past generations did much of the same things only without the help of modern technology.
    People in the area still say his watermelons, sweet corn, and green beans were the best tasting in all of southern Indiana. I wish I could go back in time and ask him the questions I have now.

    I'm here to receive the LOVE & LESSONS from the Ancestor's lessons. 💜✊🏽🥰 👩🏽‍🌾💜
    I'm so glad you were able to (AND OPEN TO) share such impressionable times in your life with your Elders.
    Young (colonized) generations are missing that guidance.
    I've followed you for a few years. It's clear to Me that because of these Blessings of Energy shared with your Elders, you are EASILY able to maintain an enormous public platform *AND MAINTAIN INTEGRITY THROUGHOUT*. I have so much love & respect for your "business" model (that is *genuinely* humanity-motivated), and THE INTEGRITY WITH WHICH you execute. 💜

    Living your life this way, having a garden like your grandfather had his beloved garden and telling other people about your grandfather's life and ways is spreading his knowledge, spirit and love. A grandfather could not demand more of his grandchild.
    Thank you very much for this.

    Your Great Grandfather speaks to us through you too, and probably that's why we connect to you all so much.
    He'd be really happy to have been with you in the farm today. There's a saying, that, those who stay close and connected to Earth have hearts of pure gold! 🙏🏼🌿❤
    Your channel, by nature, is therapeutic.
    I learn so many things from you every single time... plus, your farm background just makes my day- rather I'll say every single part of your video! Very fulfilling. Sometimes I kind of smell the dark moist soil while watching. The manure too at times. Thank you very very much. God bless you!
    Edit : I am really happy for the SaveSoil movement that has a reach of over 3 Billion people, driving governments to make soil friendly policies to reverse the deadly condition of our world's soil. I pray Mother Earth heals from everything. If she heals, we'll also heal mentally, physically and spiritually ❤🌿

    I have commented on this video before but I can't help but comment on it again because I love it so much. My grandfather raised rabbits and had worms under his cages. He grew the most wonderful gardens including delicious tomatoes the size of grapefruits. I always enjoyed the harvests but was not old enough to obtain his methods other than he used rabbit manure with worm castings to fertilize his garden. I loved and admired my Grandfather in the same way that you love and admire your Great-grandfather. They would have been fast friends!

    I love to hear your stories. My grandfather was a farmer too. He greatly influenced my life. He was so proud of feeding his dairy cows grass. His pastured cows were healthy, and he had his own dairy back in the 1940s and 50s. Definitely, he was before his time knowing the benefits of grass for raising cows. How did our grandparents know so much and our modern ways of doing things are so wrong!

    My grandfather was a fruit peddler in Newark NJ of all places I heard stories of His fig trees growing in piles of mulch in a parking lot. He would leave the roots in the burlap root balls. In winter he would lay them down on the pavement and shovel what was left of the mulch on them so they could overwinter and start the process over each spring.

    Your videoes are amazing and very informative plus two things: Firstly, you don't inject a lot of nonsense into your videoes, så every minute of your work is useful information. The second thing io like is your open and smiling face. It gives an impression of joy. It tells the viewer that you enjoy gardening and enjoy sharing your knowledge with others. All, very good. But, sometimes pay attention to the fact that your audience consists of international viewers, and not all you produce in your garden is possible to grow in areas like Norway, where I live at. Thanks a lot for this great channel you have created.
