    I’m 78 and no longer have a garden, but plant a couple pots of tomatoes. This video sure made me want to get my hands in the dirt again.all animals, in my opinion, love to be talked to and babied. Living their best lives.

    I like to see the young man following dad around, learning the things he will be able to put to good use when he gets older; and, watching your daughter helping mom in the kitchen with the butter-making and other things just gives me a good reason to smile. You folks are what America is all about, and I love watching your videos to remind me that life isn't necessarily all about spending money...rather, it's about spending time. It brings back great memories of when I was younger and would spend time with my grandparents, watching (mostly) them do these same things.

    Meghan, it is nice to see how you relate to your animals and they respond nicely when you give them treats. Maggie sure enjoys making butter because you encourage her to help you. Maggie will not forget the times she has helped you do kitchen chores. Andy, a guy needs tractors in his life to help him do farm chores. Blessings to all of you.

    My Grandmother would only have a jersey cow cause she said that they made the best butter, and she made butter from the time I was a little boy till she got so old that she couldn’t get to the barn.She also sold eggs, and I remember she would put it in a plastic 1lb bowl and sell it for a dollar. I grew up eating eggs and butter and drinking buttermilk.

    Back in the 70s, we would sell an enormous amount of eggs from chickens, ducks and turkeys to everybody.
    I had a radio flyer wagon that we'd load up with eggs several times a week and always come back home without any left.
    A man stopped me one day and asked where I got all them eggs, so I says, from chickens.
    The man laughed and asked if it was our chickens, so I says yes we didn't steal them.
    So he laughs again and says would we be willing to sell some manure, so I says, you've gotta ask daddy, but I'm sure he would.
    We didn't know what price to put on it, so whilst daddy was trying to think of a price, the man says he'd give a dollar for every gallon, so daddy says sold.
    Word got around quick, and we were selling manure as quick as the chickens could produce it.
    But just like with anything else, you've always got some knuckleheads out there, and folks were complaining that the manure burnt their plants.
    Weren't our fault.

    I use maple leaves every year for my mulch cover my potato beds I leave my potatoes in the ground all year only dig what I want out of them and then come spring I turn it over with the Maple leaves in it take out what potatoes are left and leave the little potatoes in the ground to seed for the following year I hardly ever buy seed potatoes because there's so many small little baby potatoes in there that grow the following year works out pretty good i've only lost one potato last year that went wrought in the ground over the winter mind you the lowest temperatures we get it'll maybe minus 10 And my potato gardens are quite grovely so the potatoes don't rot

    Hello ya'll i went over to Hoss's web site after watching your video's and was looking around for something different to grow this year and found guess what? Tobacco and like usually i picked the hardest one Carolina flu cured.That being said i growed up in tobacco country Ashe county but was only a summertime job Pulling plants,planting,and spuding = cutting,I now know i missed out on a whole lot of the process, Was thinking maybe with your ability to get knowledge from the old timer's in your area you could take us tru the whole process not talking ackers maybe 1 pack of seeds.

      I’ve got a stool to sit on but I’m squatting right now so I can be a ninja if need be since she’s still learning 😅

    Hey ya’ll! We bought a Hoss seeder last year and love it! When it arrive, I rubbed a couple of coats of tung oil on the handles to give the wood a little finish and protection.
    We enjoy watching y’alls channel! Y’all keep on keeping on!
