Tell them you love them any chance you have. My father passed away this morning at 91 years old. Told him yesterday I loved him. Stay safe.

[@bjbrown]

Aww, that is so sad to hear. My father passed away 2 and 1/2 years ago and I miss him. There isn't any better advice than Dad's.

[@scrappingfla9016]

Condolences to you and your family...a long life well enjoyed, I'm sure. God bless

[@normanwyatt8761]

I'll be 90 next year..... It's Inevitable.......I'm not feeling too good right now.....Oh well......

[@mohendranauthbissoondharry6147]

I'm sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. Making it to be 91 years is an honor. Praying for you and your family.

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

@@normanwyatt8761Norman, we hope you feel better soon! Most folks don’t live to be 90, so you’re doing something right!! Take care❣️

I could live in one of your greenhouses. Surrounded by all that beauty.

[@rollinghillsslo]

Get in line, sister! Me first.

[@kens.3729]

Several things like Watermelon, 🍉 Cantaloupe,🍈 and Other items take a Lot of Room to Grow and most people Don’t have the Space to try Growing them. 👍

[@Mik-mk8us]

I got Miles of fields mile after mile

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

That machine was a railroad ballest regulator. Its basically like a road blade on a tractor, but moves the rock on the railroad.

[@dennishughes5728]

Yay nice to see Aunt Bonnie you’re a hard worker!!!

[@doramena1267]

Daddy Och u need to put Andrew on probation lol....and a make him wear a chickin suit till he listens 😂❤.....Luv u grandpa ur da best

[@user-gc7iq1cm7l]

Hey, it is good to hear that Loren was able to prepare supper. Once she gets all her energy back, she will have your household running like a top. Thanks for all the video of the greenhouses and those on display. Everything is so beautiful. I love to see the hanging baskets, wish I had a basket of little tomatoes hanging on my city patio. Nothing says summer like sun-warmed tomatoes from the garden. 😊😊😊

[@savedsole3848]

God Bless our Farmers❤

[@seanpray2874]

railroad equipment called a regulator for grading ballast stone

[@carolsmith7516]

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms . You have some beautiful flowers .

[@Tonetwisters]

Andrew, I really appreciate you and your family. You are all very hard workers, you each have a wide variety of skills, and you all have a servant's heart. A winning combination in the eyes of the Lord Jesus!!

[@13DLight]

I grew up on a farm. "We try and get it done but it's a job that Dad enjoys" i.e the sprayer. On our farm that meant Dad didn't trust anyone else to do it!

[@pamelaburdick8366]

That’s all I use is jumbo eggs. Makes my baked goods better and I want a decent sized egg for breakfast

[@kentuckypride3802]

I absolutely love the way this family works together. Sadly that’s not the norm anymore. I hope granny is about healed up. I think it’s time for some new cousins for the kids to play with. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. God bless

[@staceypiper3319]

198k your getting there Veggie Boys & Girls

[@chuckg9805]

That's Railroad track maintenance equipment. See the flanged steel wheels? either ballast cleaner, tie changer or track alignment, I think. The RR has gotten so modern to this gray beard. Great video, thanks.

[@sandragreenthumb12]

Hello 👋 I didn't know you guys have horses. Show the horses sometimes Andrew 😊 I plan on visiting the farm this year, so excited to visit you guys and girls

[@jamestboehm6450]

That Holstein calf was the prettiest hamburger I've seen in a long time. Feed him up.

[@cambriasumrall7472]

Your farm and market are awesome. I will be coming your way in the new world. I am in awe at how beautiful your pace is. Sincerely Cammie Lowery from Mississippi

[@patriciahusk3428]

Hope your back is getting better Andrew😉! It’s very exciting that you’re getting 4 new calves! You will definitely need that extra space right away! Wish I could come shopping at your farm🤗!

Happy Mother's day to all of the Moms of the Ochs family.

[@1gr8lpta]

I wish I could find a small scale egg grader that isn't thousands of dollars. We are planning our own little patch of land for our immediate area and this would make my job so much easier.

[@ulrichminky9495]

If your daughter renames your dad every few months I would find that quite amusing. Cheers from Canada. ~ulrich

[@Kimberley-uq1vv]

I love your videos Andrew! Its hard to say who is may fav person. Grams, Grandpa and Callie! I would pay money to have a cooking class with Grams. We haven't seen much of Joel at all on the videos. I assume he will pop back up when its time to harvest the fruit and veg.

I heard about a tornado in Pa, was it close to your area? Thoughts and prayers to the people who were affected by the tornado up there.

[@theveggieboys]

Nope we were fine

[@carolbush6775]

Love the new black and white calf❤️

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Enjoyed the video

[@user-nh9cx7by9o]

Lucky you being able to plant tomatoes into soil -- we have blight here in uk -- tomatoes outdoors might last a few weeks before dying off.

[@Kohanski5]

Love watching! Look forward to each video, calming and fun!

[@rebajobain6879]

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers veg

[@richardschaffling9882]

[@RNX001]

[@lindacarter9220]

Andrew question. Have you ever drop the basket of eggs.

[@BethFoster-lm7qq]

[@jordanguarrasi4926]

Do you raise any biet alpha cucumbers? (baby Persian/Lebanese style burpless). They have become my main cucumber crop for many years.

[@kittiew260]

Pop pop? He's grandpa lol

[@kimedmonson3134]

😍🌱💐

[@rhubarb789]

Do you have a return policy on all the pots that go out with seedlings? It might incentivize customers to come back to the farmers market if they knew they could return the containers plus you could reuse them next year.

[@marybaque323]

love your farm videos

[@anniewildmush1284]

lolll 😂😂 he says those tomatoes are like 4 inch with his fingers ... i didnt see no 4 inch there.. ahhh men always exagerating the size of it loll just kidding

[@1jw298]

If you cantaloupe, you can always get married in a church.

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@1944chevytruck]

good job!

[@Hobocreekfarm]

Have y’all ever grown okra on the farm?

[@rogerpultz5597]

Awesome video 👍👍

[@davidpatriot1082]

would love to know more about fertilizers and foliar feeding the tomatos I started practicing foliar feeding for the first time last year and am in the process of still learning more would love to know what fertilizer you use I know sometimes or all the times farmers will have specific blends for their specific fields but im still curious to know and it seems to be something many farmers dotn talk about

[@guitreedookwah533]

Do you guys plant leafy crops like lettuce

[@bjbrown]

Yes, go back about two videos ago and see the different varieties for sale.

[@theveggieboys]

Yes we do

[@MsAshmomma]

Are all the chickens Rhode Island Reds?

[@xtender5]

How's your back, Andy?

[@anitaalexander9894]

you might explain to people that subscribing doesn't cost anything. you won't get spam emails.

[@stanfordnunley2616]

Question; The water source for your greenhouses, is it from a well, spring or municipal water plant?

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Love all the many people and plants❤❤❤❤

[@heathernotzdaniels6350]

Andrew, do you guys load your eggs tip side down, fat side up into the cartons? I recently heard something about this and never remember my grandma being so fussy about how they got into the cartons, just that they did, so she could deal with them.

[@joebrumfield2952]

Yea-barn cat!😻

[@daverave3698]

You have more silage sitting on the ground beside the troughs than in the troughs. What gives?

[@blakestone8088]

thx

[@randyholdredge4458]

What do you use to pick the rocks?

[@erikajegl2762]

We just got this video today which is Monday the day after mothers Sunday so. These videos are quite days behind after they been filmed. And that is in Maryland!

[@davidpatriot1082]

you may not want to say this due to certain conceptions some people have, but Id love to know what fungicide you used that you were talking about I have a problem with powdery mildew, I will to fix the watering thing this year, but sometimes you just need to use sprays in the farm or garden and im always curious about learning new options for controls

[@marthadescoteau5994]

Do you have any suggestions for dealing with slugs and earwigs? We have a problem with those. Had to throw all our cabbages out last week(18) because of earwigs(pincher bugs)

[@bjbrown]

Try beer in shallow trays for the slugs. I make my own pesticide using 1 tablespoon of dish soap and 1/4 cup alcohol, the medicinal kind, and water. I find the Walmart bbq sprayers work the best for me. I have used this for years down here in Florida for mealy bugs, scale. Spider mites and other pests. Spray before the sun is strong or late in the day so the beneficials aren't bothered.

[@genevabrown450]

😁

[@Lor-wy7xt]

Andrew question for you, with all your plants for sale you have out in front of your shop. Theres sooo many on the table do you guys move them back under cover? Or leave them out? If you leave the plants out do you have them get pinched? Hopefully you guys have a camera facing them to alert you all.
