Thank you both for taking the time to teach us. So many of us are brand new to growing gardens and raising animals. It is nice that you share your hard earned knowledge.
PS… Watching that Baby Girl helping with the Jelly. She explained details & was So Sweet to inform Us about her Utensils you 2 were using. She has made my Heart Smile 😉😍🥰
Yes it's fantastic she in the kitchen helping but a bit to young for boiling sticky jams. A tip of that kettle the wrong way and it could dump right down her front. I love this channel but this scares me. ❤❤🙏😢
Good Morning… I Love starting my Day with you guys. The way you put your Videos together is absolutely incredible. You switch from Megan to Andy & it’s so Wonderful… The inspiration from Megan’s cooking to information that Andy gives us is incredible !!! I’m going to try this Recipe for pickles 😍 Those Jam Bars are Beautiful !!! So delicious looking, gotta try this Recipe 🤩 Thanks for the Hay info, You’re are the Best ...Your energy & care for your Homestead is amazing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of Us !!! Until the next one 😉💞🇺🇸
A point that might be good to share about hay on a garden is to make sure the hay wasn’t treated with Grazon If it has been it will kill your garden plants . I just learned that this summer . Love you guys and watch you every day. Love to see real people doing real things. Hope to Meet you guys some Day.
Love Maggie helping in the kitchen...Glad she had a tie-dyed shirt on, the blackberry juice will give her shirt more color...She is such a good helper.
First I want to say how much I enjoy watching your videos and love how y'all live and raise the children. This may sound dumb but I've read where getting rid of voles or moles is to put Dawn detergent in their runs. To me it would be worth a try.
I'm really enjoying your videos. I think the teepees are beautiful. I hoping they do great. Your life takes me back to a time when life was so good. I loved working in the garden and working the fields. I appreciate the life you share with us.
The jam bar recipe is so timely for me! Just cleaned out and organized my jam shelf yesterday. Now i know what to do with the excess that is more than a year old. I only gift people with the current year jam. Thank you!
I appreciate y'all sharing such a wonderful life and story. As we all know there is a lot of bologna own utube y'all r definitely the exception we all know kids tell us how the feel and every time we can tell how much knowledge y'all share with you kids the already know and have so much knowledge u can't fake that awesome job everyone 😊
Andy, thank you for the informative information about herbicides and I must say that the people who misuse them the most are home owners who just don't know how to use them
MEGAN AND ANDY, I love watching these videos, I'm not able to do gardening anymore I just had my 5th back surgery, so ty for sharing your gardening and canning with us... GOD BLESS YOU BOTH 🙏
I look forward to tuning into your channel everyday... so glad I found you and your wonderful family! :) P.S. All these chemicals you spoke about CAUSE CANCER in humans... that's why we don't want hay/straw that has been sprayed.
Your process of making pickles and jelly is very interesting to watch. You make it look so easy. Jam bars look good as dessert 😋 Maggie just steals the show standing there stirring and talking about it just telling us with a confident voice. She has so many skills at her young age!! Thanks for the explanation of hay/straw and herbicides. I feel much more informed. I don’t use sprays on my garden, but it’s good to understand the different types of herbicides. The hay spread around all the garden beds looks tedious, yet keeps out your weeds and holds moisture. Beautiful gardens.!! Blackberries looks so good like I could tase them! Thanks again for sharing your lives with us , so inspiring!✝️❤️
Megan if you put a cup of two of sugar in your berries and let them set in the fridge overnight you want have to use water and your jam or jelly will have the best flavor, just a suggestion. Love watching your videos and your children how you guys are teaching them how to grow food. GOD bless y'all ❤
Yeah I watched that on another RUclips channel they took the restrictors out of them they said that the government makes them do that so you don't use a lot of city water there's also another one in the top part of it too
I appreciate the talk about the difference between straw and hay, I was never totally sure, also about herbicides. The jelly and jelly bars look delish! Blackberries are my fave! Love to see Maggie helping and hear her talk, she talks so fast, hee. 😊 God bless y'all and have a terrific holiday week. 🎆🇺🇲❤️
Those jam bars brought back memories...when I was a kid, mom always made them any time we a family get together and one of my uncles and I would sneak the container off and hide and eat the whole thing...and then we would get in trouble for not sharing. Of course we would always say it was mom's fault for making them so good. Thanks Andy, that was, to me, a really good break down of the difference between hay and straw but there is one other difference. Straw takes longer to break down and compost and since it was dead when harvested it doesn't have the nutrients that hay has so it doesn't really help in building up your soil. The food value of hay for live stock will, when used as a weed barrier, feeds your dirt just like it feeds your live stock.
Thank you for taking your time to teach us all. I can't wait to make the jelly bars... making them for dessert tonight. You have the sweetest helper making and explaining all about jelly and utensils.
The only thing we found that worked to keep moles and voles away was by opening up their digging tunnel and deposit dirty cat litter in and cover it over. We live in a wet lands area and the mole have lots of grubs.
Years ago we started using juicy fruit gum for voles. Just break off pieces and carefully put them into their tunnels, they can't digest the gum. It has worked great.
Great Job Andy and Megan and of course our favorite Kitchen Helper, she sure is a good one. Thanks for all the great information you all shared with us, I know Jacob was somewhere in the background working on something too. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
When I plant corn, I soak the kernels in like warm water, add bone meal and compost in the planting holes. Water them in, mulch and that's all I do until harvest. They love love the bonemeal, that's is.
Ain’t much better than blackberry jelly!! Between the blueberry jam and the jelly, I’m set for the year with what I made. Very good explanation on the herbicides, Andy. There’s a BIG difference between awareness and hysteria! I see “herbicide drift” blamed for all kinds of problems in the garden, most of which have nothing to do with herbicide drift. Here again folks, don’t go crazy, I’m not advocating mass herbicide use, but I will say it gets a lot of unfounded blame.
Maggie reminds me of how I spent the summer at grandmas when I was her age, in the kitchen learning how to cook. I loved it. Maggie is gonna own her own restaurant or local cafe when she's older .
Pumping out of the creek you might get some plugs in the sprinkler nozzle bugs grass etc. keep the pump running and try using a piece of tie wire to dislodge the debris and the sprinkler will blow it on out. Might take a few tries but usually works. Hold onto that wire! Had to do that as teenager working farmers irrigation. Always worked, though those pumps had a lot more pressure to blow the debris out.
That crumble looks delicious! And I discovered the stirrup hoe last year and I do love it! So easy to clean a large patch in a short time. God bless your family!
I had a vole problem in my carrot and beet beds this spring. But my son told me about these little solar vibration stakes. I got them from amazon, and they worked great!. They make sounds at regular intervals, which I assume gives a vibration voles don't like. I was so pleased with mine, I wanted to share it with you. Thank you so much for sharing your life and wisdom with us.
It pleases me to see another homemaker like me with short, clean fingernails. I'm also a fan of all the American dialects. Often imitated, but nothing like the real thing. My real judge of folks I watch is "would I sit down to eat with this person". 😊
Meagan those jam bars look wonderful! So does the blackberry jelly, will be awesome on a biscuit 😊 I am proud how you are teaching your daughter with hands on learning - she'll remember that way. Andy, thank you for the lesson on hay/straw also about herbicides. I respect your opinion & know you are more knowledgeable than I. Have a blessed day and a safe & happy July 4th! 🎉✨🥳
Thank you for honest talk about herbicides. Some people do get a little shrill on the subject. Just know what you're doing. BTW, the bees are fine, too.
Wow.. so interesting about the hay, straw and chemicals.. and the break down element to them... Megan, l have some leftovers jam so will try these slices... Enjoy your day, just appreciate your time, enthusiasm and knowledge in all aspects of farming.. Much love and appreciation from Australia
Hello! I watched your video about making the tee pees. I had some long wooden stakes left over from another project. Long story short, I had room for one. It is now standing in my garden and the green beans are planted around it. I can't wait to see what happens.
Hey this old Florida cracker is back and still trying to get a plate of your food. Especially now that I know you are having venison. Anyway love your channel. I do some cooking for myself and my pug. Cooking is very relaxing to me.😊
Love watching all y’all’s videos, thank you for explaining hay vs straw because I have always wondered that, my local hardware supplies straw that I would use for my chickens and stray cats in the winter. So I reused some of it in my experimental chaos garden plot with tomatoes, corn, potatoes, squash, and cucumbers… so far so good fingers crossed 🤞🏼your friend in SW Va
Hey Andy. Thanks for that hack. It worked!! I love my relationship with your channel. I’m older and I’m not like most older people. I love learning from younger people. Most people my age believe or act like the learning is only supposed to be one way. Not so. This learning ride is a two way street. Be blessed in Jesus name.
Andy, I use red pepper to keep the squirrels out of my bird seed. I also used red pepper around the edges of my sunroom. That keeps the racoons for going under there. The red pepper does not bother birds. Try sprinkling red pepper on the row of sweet potatoes.
I can’t remember what channel I was watching and I’ve never tried it myself as I’ve never had voles BUT someone said they used some high frequency sound thing in the ground and it worked wonders. Now don’t hold me to it cause I’m being honest about not knowing for certain 😂but it may be worth a shot. They said they got it at Amazon and it wasn’t expensive. I just thought I’d share in case ya wanted to try. Yall work so hard I hate to see ya lose your sweet taders. Anywho…God bless you all. ~Lisa Ps. That was probably the best explanation of hay/straw I’ve ever heard anyone take time to give. I knew the difference having been around both all my life but I think it’s awesome that you’re willing to help folks. Also, I think that you’re being willing and BRAVE enough lol to speak on herbicides is awesome as well. 💜 I pray no one is hateful and gets sassy with ya!! 😉💜
Great job y'all and Andy that was an excellent tutorial on the difference between hay and straw. Those bars look absolutely delicious and I bet that homemade jelly is outstanding on a biscuit. I was up that way yesterday evening and saw some tobacco that really needs rain. Y'all have a great weekend and I hope we get some rain at some point.
Your jelly looked delicious!! Have not had this kind in a long time. Never made jelly, but might have to try blackberry jelly. Thanks for sharing with us! ❤️
Thank you. I learned a few things today about the hay/straw. I also appreciate the uncomplicated jelly. I realized how caught up I had gotten in the fears of growing and preserving our food with the information out there now. We are in our seventies and gardened all our lives. It never was so complicated. I am grateful for your videos.
I had someone tell me when I used to have a well on the house I was buying before I sold it that you have to watch for picture bugs in that too but you just got to put like one of those mothballs and it would take care of it so that's what I did
It has never occurred to me that folks wouldn't know the difference between hay and straw, good for you to clarify. If I have to buy hay, it's for goats so weedy its fine. Real unlikely weedy hay has been sprayed. I battle voles every year, I dig their runs every time I see one trying to convince those deviled to go somewhere else, kind of like fire ants.
So happy to see you today. I’m a little behind on videos and yours is the first one I picked. I’m going to try doing my strawberry jam that way I think. Blessings!
Thanks for sharing your farming knowledge. I can’t be the only non farmer non- country boy ignorant in these matters. I will never butcher a hog or milk a cow, but I do enjoy watching
Thanks for taking time to explain about herbasides that i am familiar with. Now please teach us if you can about pestasides, how to presevve the plants from all the little pest that love to devour our labors. Trully enjoy yalls chanell. Thanks guys, jeep up the great living expereince.
We love watching you guys. I wanted to share something that I had seen late night on another channel. It's pertaining to you tee pee. The people had put up a tee pee like your's but to have the green beans to climb the pole they put or wrapped vines around the tee pee all the way up so that they could climb up. Don't know if this would be helpful but thought I would pass it along. Keep up the good work and all the great videos.
I never really understood Hay and Straw . I knew Hay was food, but I didn't know anything about Straw. Thanks Andy. I love homemade sweet pickles. I like dill pickles on sandwiches. I can only imagine how tasty yours are. Yum yum.
I really love your channel. You are great teachers, and I learn a lot from you. We don't have voles here in Florida, but have a lot of other issues that make up for them. including moles and fire ants. I did find this about vole repellants. Maybe it will help save your sweet potatoes.
Thank you both for taking the time to teach us. So many of us are brand new to growing gardens and raising animals. It is nice that you share your hard earned knowledge.
I really agree with you.
Amen!
I love the alternating his day-her day style of this vlog.
Yeah, that was cool.
PS… Watching that Baby Girl helping with the Jelly. She explained details & was So Sweet to inform Us about her Utensils you 2 were using. She has made my Heart Smile 😉😍🥰
That information on hay was incredibly valuable. I learn soooo much watching your videos.
BRAVO. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY!
My husband is not understanding why I know so much about haying, and now straw. Andy is a good teacher.
The young one in the kitchen is such a great helper. She'll be momma's helper for years to come and pass the skill to her children. She is a trooper.
Yes it's fantastic she in the kitchen helping but a bit to young for boiling sticky jams. A tip of that kettle the wrong way and it could dump right down her front. I love this channel but this scares me. ❤❤🙏😢
It’s so wonderful that your little girl wants to cook with you and that you’re willing to show her great cooking techniques.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ that sweet baby girl helping her mama in the kitchen is so precious❤️
Enjoy your program, y’all are special. I wish I lived closer to you. From Spartanburg. God is our source!
Ma'am you too show good memories about helping her aunt when her aunt was canning green beans and her grandps canning black eye peas

Pretty much everything causes cancer in human any more

Thank you Andy for your information. I learn something every time I watch, jam bars! Enjoy your family so much.
Broken down cardboard boxes are another great weed suppressant that also decomposed.
In my garden I use that and landscape fabric over top.
Yeah I watched that on another RUclips channel they took the restrictors out of them they said that the government makes them do that so you don't use a lot of city water there's also another one in the top part of it too

Thank you Andy for explaining the difference between hay and straw. Megan those jam bars looked so yummy
Nothing better than canning juice. Blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, grape, and cranberry.
The only thing we found that worked to keep moles and voles away was by opening up their digging tunnel and deposit dirty cat litter in and cover it over. We live in a wet lands area and the mole have lots of grubs.
Years ago we started using juicy fruit gum for voles. Just break off pieces and carefully put them into their tunnels, they can't digest the gum. It has worked great.

Oh Andy when you said do hickey I busted out laughing as that is one of my favorite sayings..
Andy, you gave a great explanation of Hay vs. Straw!
Nice spending the day with you.
When I plant corn, I soak the kernels in like warm water, add bone meal and compost in the planting holes. Water them in, mulch and that's all I do until harvest. They love love the bonemeal, that's is.
My corn crop does excellent!

Love the sound of those jam bars!!! That's a recipe I'm definitely going to try!
Thanks so much for the video. Everything looks amazing. ❤
Thank you for the important information on hay and straw ! I truly appreciate it!!!
Love the jam/ jelly !!!
Megan, those fruit bars.... guuurrrllll. Sooo good! Thank you for sharing that recipe!
Thats what I heard - grazon passes through the animal , into your compost and gives ya leaf curl on tomatoes etc
Maggie reminds me of how I spent the summer at grandmas when I was her age, in the kitchen learning how to cook. I loved it. Maggie is gonna own her own restaurant or local cafe when she's older .

It pleases me to see another homemaker like me with short, clean fingernails.
I'm also a fan of all the American dialects. Often imitated, but nothing like the real thing.
My real judge of folks I watch is "would I sit down to eat with this person". 😊
😮
I used to pick black raspberries with my mom, grandma and sister, yum
That’s the way my mama always used to make jelly. Testing it on a plate in the freezer.
Hi, Thank you for sharing how you can your Jelly .have a great weekend God bless😊
Enjoy your channel so much! Always interesting! Love to hear Maggie talk! Love her personality!❤
Add red hot candy to your sweet pickles. You will be amazed how good they will be. It will turn them red but unbelievably good
Meagan those jam bars look wonderful! So does the blackberry jelly, will be awesome on a biscuit 😊 I am proud how you are teaching your daughter with hands on learning - she'll remember that way.
Andy, thank you for the lesson on hay/straw also about herbicides. I respect your opinion & know you are more knowledgeable than I.
Have a blessed day and a safe & happy July 4th! 🎉✨🥳
Lol appreciate you sitting us in the shade. That heat is rough on a short fat man!
I’m going to try doing jelly like that,no water bath.Thank you both for sharing !Blessings to you and the family.😊Norma
Thank you for honest talk about herbicides. Some people do get a little shrill on the subject. Just know what you're doing. BTW, the bees are fine, too.
Wow.. so interesting about the hay, straw and chemicals.. and the break down element to them...
Megan, l have some leftovers jam so will try these slices...
Enjoy your day, just appreciate your time, enthusiasm and knowledge in all aspects of farming..
Much love and appreciation from Australia
Glad to hear what you had to say about pesticides.
Hello! I watched your video about making the tee pees. I had some long wooden stakes left over from another project. Long story short, I had room for one. It is now standing in my garden and the green beans are planted around it. I can't wait to see what happens.
Wonderful! 🌱
Hey this old Florida cracker is back and still trying to get a plate of your food. Especially now that I know you are having venison. Anyway love your channel. I do some cooking for myself and my pug. Cooking is very relaxing to me.😊
Awesome!!
I luv luv this channel so educational and I luv the gardening and canning I always look for ur new videos
Thanks for the opinion on herbicide. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge : )
Love watching all y’all’s videos, thank you for explaining hay vs straw because I have always wondered that, my local hardware supplies straw that I would use for my chickens and stray cats in the winter. So I reused some of it in my experimental chaos garden plot with tomatoes, corn, potatoes, squash, and cucumbers… so far so good fingers crossed 🤞🏼your friend in SW Va
This video is very educational 👍bravo 👏👏👏thank you and Happy New Year. ❤️from 🇦🇺
Hey Andy. Thanks for that hack. It worked!! I love my relationship with your channel. I’m older and I’m not like most older people. I love learning from younger people. Most people my age believe or act like the learning is only supposed to be one way. Not so. This learning ride is a two way street. Be blessed in Jesus name.
Andy, I use red pepper to keep the squirrels out of my bird seed. I also used red pepper around the edges of my sunroom. That keeps the racoons for going under there. The red pepper does not bother birds. Try sprinkling red pepper on the row of sweet potatoes.

Ps. That was probably the best explanation of hay/straw I’ve ever heard anyone take time to give. I knew the difference having been around both all my life but I think it’s awesome that you’re willing to help folks. Also, I think that you’re being willing and BRAVE enough lol to speak on herbicides is awesome as well. 💜 I pray no one is hateful and gets sassy with ya!! 😉💜
Thanks for the hay straw explanation. I totally did not know either. I thought straw was just dried hay. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Nice hack Andy I remove all those plastic garbage restrictors from all plumbin all the time!
Love seeing you and your daughter making jelly together. You are such a clean and organized cook.
Great job y'all and Andy that was an excellent tutorial on the difference between hay and straw. Those bars look absolutely delicious and I bet that homemade jelly is outstanding on a biscuit. I was up that way yesterday evening and saw some tobacco that really needs rain. Y'all have a great weekend and I hope we get some rain at some point.
Your jelly looked delicious!! Have not had this kind in a long time. Never made jelly, but might have to try blackberry jelly. Thanks for sharing with us! ❤️

I really appreciate your opinion on it all! I trust your knowledge and experience. (Both of you!!)
I had someone tell me when I used to have a well on the house I was buying before I sold it that you have to watch for picture bugs in that too but you just got to put like one of those mothballs and it would take care of it so that's what I did

Thanks for sharing your farming knowledge. I can’t be the only non farmer non- country boy ignorant in these matters. I will never butcher a hog or milk a cow, but I do enjoy watching
Thank you for teaching how to make blackberry jelly. Have you heard about watermelon rind preserves
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks for taking time to explain about herbasides that i am familiar with. Now please teach us if you can about pestasides, how to presevve the plants from all the little pest that love to devour our labors. Trully enjoy yalls chanell. Thanks guys, jeep up the great living expereince.
We love watching you guys. I wanted to share something that I had seen late night on another channel. It's pertaining to you tee pee.

Don't know if this would be helpful but thought I would pass it along. Keep up the good work and all the great videos.
I’m so glad u explained that bc I had no clue. (Straw and hay)
Oddly I was thinking and remembering old style cowboy biscuits and skill making them ❤.
You might try putting some chewing gum in the tunnel of the voles to gum them up! Works pretty good.
Thank you for the info on straw and hay
I never really understood Hay and Straw . I knew Hay was food, but I didn't know anything about Straw. Thanks Andy. I love homemade sweet pickles. I like dill pickles on sandwiches. I can only imagine how tasty yours are. Yum yum.
They also ate the roots off my purple hull peas. I’ve too many around here.
I really love your channel. You are great teachers, and I learn a lot from you. We don't have voles here in Florida, but have a lot of other issues that make up for them. including moles and fire ants. I did find this about vole repellants. Maybe it will help save your sweet potatoes.
