Joey, you ain't kidding about the rain! Here in eastern NC we need it bad too. I had the same issue with our planter not getting the bush bean and corn seed down deep enough. It looks like whatever depth you're supposed to plant it you need to go 1/2" to 1" deeper with the planter. Looking good! God bless, brother!

[@Jtwes]

Thank JL I think sometimes with that ih planter I have with no plate on the bottom I get it to deep.

[@sundownerwhoopwhoop5016]

And you said I was planting a lot of tomatoes lol you planted as much as me bout 60 of dem and I use my front bucket plate to level my rolls and drag a short big heavy chain to center my rolls

[@customcutter100]

I never could get okra to germinate. My grandmother told me 50 years ago to put the seed in the freezer for a couple of days. It cracks the hard shell. No problem ever since then.

[@jpeel2066]

Look forward to seeing it all grow. Hope you get some rain soon. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@Jtwes]

Thank You. Hopefully a little tomorrow.

[@bartsexton1652]

Man do I wish I had wrote down when I planted my G 90 corn . Mine looks like your one here and there and some rows I don’t even see none yet. And yes we need some rain . The last week got was a half inch and wind and wind to dry it up.

[@Jtwes]

I’m hoping tomorrow we’ll get a little.

[@stanleyconrad4234]

I finally got around to adding my 2 cents. I watched in a more timely manner, but forgot to comment. Thanks for sharing the method. If you get too many perhaps you can deliver me some! Lol. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Stan

[@RonnieBowers-np6oi]

Spray back of the plate with cooking spray

[@Jtwes]

That’s what another fellow said . Definitely will next time I use it . Especially okra

[@harveyrousejr.2069]

You need you either a Jang or a Hoss Tools planter. I have both and they are both excellent planter/seeders. I use allot of pelletized seed from Johnny's for both planters. The Jang planter will literally plant mustard seed.

[@Jtwes]

I like the looks of hoss tools seeder

[@joelhenderson5404]

JT if you'll take your planter and plates and wash them with dawn soap the seeds want get behind the plate. I called earthway and this is what they recommended and it works.

[@Jtwes]

defiantly will try that. Okra is the worst for me.

[@stanleyconrad4234]

That sounds like an excellent idea. Thank you.

[@gwaynel8363]

Good video. I'm planting a few things tomorrow. All the best from Greensboro NC.

[@Jtwes]

Hey Gurney I may plant some as well . I’ll be rolling through 40 about 6am tomorrow

[@Railfan90]

Looks good Joey, just needs some rain now. I washed all the cars here yesterday…. Hoping that’ll make it rain 🤣

[@Jtwes]

Hopefully Saturday. Im going to try to call you tomorrow

[@GlennChoate-ym4cr]

You should invest in a Stand n Planter .It digs the hole for you and you drop the plant down the tube and it pulls the dirt back around the plant.I bought one because of my bad knees,I do not have to do any squats anymore.$130.00.You will be glad you bought one.

[@Jtwes]

I’m right behind you on those knees . Might have to look into that.

[@stanleyconrad4234]

Thanks for that “tip”/info. Too many years in the Military makes your recommendation almost a mandatory tool. Thank you.

[@WaynesAdventure]

Good video

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Wayne

[@hawkinscsa]

👏🏻👏🏻, Go Sammy!

[@hawkinscsa]

You're ahead of me. 👍🏻

[@TheCajunHomestead]

Well, I see you have a IH red bandaid on your finger tip perhaps you work in the electrical field. I have a planter similar to that. Great video, it stormed all morning, so I won’t be clearing land until dark 30 , hope be there tonight.

[@Jtwes]

Hope so we do enjoy having you.

[@tater357]

Have you ever planted any determinate variety of Tomatoes? I found one that is an awesome variety and it grows BIG slicing tomatoes with a great flavor. You have to let them turn completely red on the vine to get the best flavor, but it's a very heavy producer. I found them on Hoss Grows website called a Hossinator. If you try them, i promise you won't be disappointed. They will need to be heavily trellised. it's a multiple stem tomato plant and it producers a LOT of BIG heavy Tomatoes. Last year, I planted 4 in my raised beds, and even after the storms rolled in and broke one of my plants, i was still able top harvest over 80 lbs of fresh ripe tomatoes. I gave over 40 lbs of them to the local church food pantry. PLUS, all my family and friends had their fill on tomatoes for weeks. That was off just 3 of the 4 plants. The 4th hardly produced because it was broken off about 1 ft above ground level.

[@Jtwes]

Wow tater it did put out. I bet my buddy Charles who runs that greenhouse has heard of them.

[@stanleyconrad4234]

Thanks for that info.

[@johnreidhar5977]

This is to Sammy.......... The football field in Kimball, So.Dakota is fifty yards long. All football fields in their league are same.

[@stanleyconrad4234]

What is the reasoning? I’ve spent some time in that wonderful state. Good folks there. The golf courses had “browns”, no greens! Lol

[@gregmoser8393]

Good video Joey and Sammy! It's good to see a father teaching his children how to grow their own food and take care of their equipment! I appreciate Sammy's concern about funding the greenhouse. As an agriculture and horticulture teacher I always had to practically beg for money for programs and the sports programs had money coming from all directions! I always asked my students, what would we be without agriculture? Hungry, naked, and homeless!

[@Jtwes]

Amen There was a lot more said in that segment but I thought it would be best left alone.

[@nathanalmond8280]

Good video Joey. Sorry I didn't get to watch it all the way till after the live. Nice to see Sammy helping and learning. Yes sir we need more trade schools and vocational schools. Good verse on the live. The stuff going on with these people is sickening. Never thought I would live to see the world in this shape. Beautiful tomato plants too. Beautiful looking start to your gardens.

[@Jtwes]

Thanks Bart I’m a little worried about the Hastings and Jimmy I got to get some fertilizer to them. Nut grass is popping up all over it.

[@Paulford369]

Just call it the Great Wall of useful stuff! LOL

[@Jtwes]

Sounds good to me. Lol

[@fishydubsfishing6516]

Wow you really cut down on the spacing and those tomatoes ideally you're supposed to have 2 1/2 to 3 feet you got so much land there

[@Jtwes]

I agree it’s a little tight.

[@bamatractor]

I couldnt afford to use the earthway on the Hoss Jimmy Red or the Triple sweet corn.

[@Jtwes]

It puts it out for sure.

[@oldnorthstateoutdoors2002]

Used the new 140 to cultivate my potatoes this afternoon. It was set a little tight for potatoes but I made it without any casualties I believe.

[@Jtwes]

lol 😂 I know exactly what you mean. I take out a few plants every now and then.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Joey don't you wish you had a peg for every tobacco plant that peg planted over the years. Using a peg is like riding a bike. Once you do it one time, you'll never forget how.

[@Jtwes]

Yes sir me and you both would have a nest egg.

[@TripleCreekFarmsMs]

Hey Jtwes I always plant my okra with an earthway seeder and I never thin it my okra grows bout 8’ tall and bout a 2” base when mature the weak will thin themselves out Ive been doing it this way for bout 10 years now and have more okra than we can put up and eat always give several buckets of okra away each year.

[@Jtwes]

Hey There I’ll probably just let it grow as well.

[@MonaDidWhat]

I can’t plant until late May

[@Jtwes]

Hey Mona You must be North of me. It will be hear soon enough. Hope it does well for you.

[@Dunlap-uj5zl]

👍

[@kkennedy9623]

I have never planted okra without soaking the seed in water overnight. Have you ever did that?

[@Jtwes]

I haven’t. I’m sure it helps crack that hard shell.

[@randallstrickland8204]

just wondering why you don't use the planter on the 140?

[@Jtwes]

Hey Randell good question it’s a lot of logistics for one row and my riders aren’t skilled enough to hold that extra weight in the fingers a little longer before letting go. I plan on using it for the sweet potatoes.

[@randallstrickland8204]

@@Jtwes oh I thought you had a Cole , I have a Cole horse drawn planter I adapted to my 140

[@Jtwes]

I thought you ment the tomatoes. Lol

@@Jtwes 😂

[@waveoglesby2920]

What kind of water melon did you plant?

[@Jtwes]

Don’t be mad at me wave but I have no ideal. I’m pretty sure some long ones but it was seed that has been saved up for years.

[@stanleyconrad4234]

These SWFL melons seem great to me. About 4 years ago they sold for $1.50 each in the height of the season. Now they are about $7:95. Must be inflation???

[@criagcundiff2469]

Okra = Ca-ca! Yuck! 🤢 But OK, I still enjoy watching the video. 👍

[@Jtwes]

Craig that really made me laugh. Thank You for that and thanks for watching.

[@stanleyconrad4234]

It’s got to be fried. Stewed ?? = yuk! To each his own z. The videos are great regardless.
