Well if this isn't the cutest! Goes to show your kiddos are always watching!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Crystal!

[@janecrist8406]

I'm so happy seeing the young kids learning and working to help feed their family. Not enough kids know how to grow a garden and feed their families.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Agreed!

[@eanderson1801]

The boys made me smile. Abram was great with the commentary. Great show as usual

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks for watching!

Those onions were glorious.

[@LazyDogFarm]

They were pretty. I was proud of my presentation. lol

[@sappir26]

Love the kids, they're so sweet. Doing a good job getting them involved and teaching them.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks so much

[@cherylbertolini3140]

mashed parsnips and carrots with butter and salt are GREAT!

[@LazyDogFarm]

That does sound great!

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

Great video. Love the roadside stand!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks!

[@janhatchett7834]

I bet your chickens would enjoy some carrot tops as well.

[@LazyDogFarm]

They will peck at them a little, but they don't like them over the cover crop.

[@mousiebrown1747]

Carrot tops smell so nice! Pretty shallots/green onions! I had no idea parsnips would grow here until I saw yours - delicious!

[@LazyDogFarm]

This was our first time growing them. They did well planting in October at the same time we plant carrots.

[@tgood9344]

Such a wonderful family! Great to teach by example for the children. I guess you can say we are what we eat and you certainly provide well for your family and for the lucky local customers. I wish I was close by. Again thank you for taking the time to teach and show us how to grow a successful garden.😀👍🌺

[@LazyDogFarm]

You are so kind

Those carrot would make some awesome juice

[@LazyDogFarm]

They would! Brooklyn made a carrot cake last night and it was AMAZING!

[@cherylbertolini3140]

hello, the boys are great helpers! I picked carrots one year and didn't clean them off and put them in. a plastic bag in my fridge drawer and the lasted till the next summer:)

[@LazyDogFarm]

Wow that's crazy. I don't think I've ever tested the limits of how long they'll actually store, but that's good to know.

[@genaday2393]

They are so cute! And smart!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Gena!

[@candidegunn3624]

Kids on a farm...heals my soul!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stevefromthegarden1135]

You need to setup a canopy for the veggie stand to keep the sun off. I wouldn't mind doing random little pop up veggie stand for a few hours. (once the season gets going) It is a good experience for the kids.

[@LazyDogFarm]

You should give it a try! It's fun to do every now and then. I wouldn't want to do it every single weekend.

[@tommathews3964]

Love seeing the whole family involved! I don't know if you remember or not, but several years ago you and I had a conversation about those digging forks when Hoss was just starting to carry them. I told you my brother and I could break dang near anything, and you told me "go ahead and order one, you won't break this one!" You were right! One of the single most well constructed tools I've used! I've got a plan for tarps and I'll let you know how it goes. If I can come up with some random lengths of fairly large plastic pipe, like at least 4' long, probably 6' will be better, and 6" diameter, I'm going to try folding in to the center, from the edges, probably twice for most tarps, putting the pipe down on one end and rolling it up. That way, when time to roll it back out, I should be able to take it back to one end of the plot, center myself, roll it out and sandbag it. I'm wrestling those things alone most of the time and I think this will help. I can tag them as to where they go (my plots aren't standardized like yours) and take off! If I can manage to get some help at "roll up/out time" I can run a piece of rebar, pipe, heavy dowel, or whatever, through the pipe and each of us can grab an end to carry it.

[@LazyDogFarm]

I do remember that! Glad the fork is still strong and doing well. I'm interested to hear how this tarp development goes. The 30x35 ones I use are about as big as I like to handle by myself. It still takes two people though to fold it up neatly -- otherwise it ends up looking like I folded a fitted sheet. lol

[@rickthelian2215]

Nice harvest with the family Like the volunteer Potatoes in the compost.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Saw one YT video where a guy harvested a ton of potatoes from his compost bin. Should be interesting to see what we get.

Thanks Momma J!

[@kingsjewell]

If you cut the bunching onions by the white part and above the roots and replant them they will grow again even the ones from the store.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Might have to try that.

[@rickthelian2215]

Great news for the no till plot, they ate long roots on the green onions

[@LazyDogFarm]

Another good plus for the no-till plot!

[@cofoothills]

Pickle those carrots - I always slice some into my bread & butter pickles - they're great!

[@LazyDogFarm]

We like them pickled and fermented carrots are great too!

Y'all stay warm! No snow here, but supposed to get chilly.

[@simpleman4196]

Might have to drive down from Michigan to the veggie stand to get some fresh food. I have some pepper plants just starting to sprout today. About 10-12 more weeks and I can start my garden.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Come on down!

[@backwoodsbaby9729]

Looks like you need to ferment some carrots! I'd suggest the ginger carrots from homesteading family. I'm fixing to do a jar of my own with some organic carrots I found on sale.

[@LazyDogFarm]

I definitely need to do that!

[@BosnWayne]

Those two young men are so freaking cute

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Wayne.

[@allenhickman5914]

Last year we had an abundance of carrots…. Had never done this before, but I sliced them thick and canned them in pint jars. They really turned out great for stews and as a side vegetable in meals. I may want to do it that way again.

[@LazyDogFarm]

We tried freezing them one year but didn't care much for the texture. Might need to try canning.

[@barbaraengle768]

Oh there are so funny 😂

[@bjevans01]

Looks like you have good farm hands. I enjoy your channel very informative. I live in Cartersville GA and my son lives in Blackshear. God Bless

[@danielzukle3788]

Funny, I pulled some parsnips up today and sliced them on a mandolin as rounds then deep fried them like French fries. A little salt and man were they good. If you haven't had them like that, you should try them. It will be one of your favorites!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Gonna have to try that!

Love your family unity and the boys enjoying the harvest. Your parsnips are beautiful. Do you think they would do well in grow bags?

[@LazyDogFarm]

I think they'd do very well in grow bags. Any root veggie likes soft soil like that.

When I have excess carrots, I blanch them, slice them up and dehydrate. Good for soups.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Haven't tried dehydrating them. We've tried blanching and freezing, but didn't care for the texture of those.

[@mutantryeff]

@@LazyDogFarm Seems that freezing would break down the cell structure.

it’s so funny watching y’all pick stuff and up here in Ky. i’m just now thinkin about starting tomato seeds. i did notice that y’all don’t have any suntan at all and i’m really brown from being outside for the last week. 🤷🏽

[@LazyDogFarm]

I was surprised too. But I treated them just like we do carrots and they did well.

[@shadyacrefarm1005]

It’s time, it’s carrot time! Those boys make me laugh. Have your opinions on no till changed Travis? I remember a while back you weren’t a no till fan.

[@LazyDogFarm]

I think there are benefits and drawbacks to any system, including no-till. The plants in the no-till plot do seem to have a stronger root system and are more disease-tolerant. But transplanting into straight compost presents challenges because the soil drains so well. You have to water heavily just to keep the transplants growing until they can establish roots in the new soil.

[@frankanselmo5479]

Love your channel and the boys never fail to make me laugh and brighten my day. Thanks!

[@LazyDogFarm]

We plant our carrots and root veggies in early to mid October, once the night temps start to break a bit.

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hey y'all, that's a lot of carrots and real nice bunching onions. Sure is nice to see them boys gettin after it in the garden pullin carrots. I really loved the Sideline reporting of the various sized carrots being the next biggest carrot. They had fun with that. Y'all have a beautiful family everyone seems to work well together even it is just long enuf for a video. Oh Travis I got my replacement onion seeds and they are all poppin up real nice so I'm going to have white, yellow, red and purple for the first harvest. So I'm gonna be real happy. Y'all take care God bless bye for now

[@LazyDogFarm]

[@10HERBERT]

Hi Travis , My Beria Kale has bolted when it got warm as well.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Ours hasn't flowered, but it has formed a head almost like cabbage. Very strange.

[@markware7748]

Yessir, the Farmer's Market looked to be a success from start to finish. I could have dropped some cash there today. The Miami and Yellowstone carrots appear to both be in the Bugs Bunny family. Those parsnips are as pretty as I've ever seen. Any bigger and they'll tend to be woody. Very nice to see Abram "selling" the features and benefits of the Lazy Dog line of fine garden produce.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yellowstone is a Danvers (Bugs Bunny) type. Miami is actually considered a Nantes type, but some of them did look very Danvers-ish.

[@charleselertii6187]

Thanks Travis and Family. The no-till plot does indeed seem to be doing some magic underground with those healthy roots. Wonder if that would make the plants more drought tolerant also? Cheers, Chuck in Jensen Beach, Florida.

[@LazyDogFarm]

A stronger root system should definitely help the plant absorb and retain more water.

[@Dashr44]

Looks like the picking isn't over... LoL... Always have to laugh at children picking their nose. It's pure innocence.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Haha! I actually didn't even notice that while editing, but noticed it while watching it last night. Oh well ... kids will be kids.

[@Dashr44]

Oh, yeah. I get a chuckle when I see small children do it. Haha... My nephew's have came up with some whoppers when their mom catches them.

[@ericmercia1777]

Great video. I've really enjoyed the cool season videos. Brussel sprouts, parsnips, cover cropping. I've learned so much this winter. Definitely going to try bunching onions. Thanks for your hard work and great content!

[@LazyDogFarm]

This was our first time growing the bunching onions, but won't be the last. They're a real treat!

[@kennethdurham1022]

What is the name of that orange variety. They sure are pretty carrots. I'd like to try some of those myself back Travis and gangs.

That variety is called Miami. High Mowing Seeds has it.

Hey Travis, your boys have a fine work ethic. Good job! Where did you get your big harvest baskets?

[@Ct9405]

I didn’t grow carrots this fall since the last item I grew them they were limp after harvesting. I removed the tops right when I harvested but they still weren’t crispy. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

[@LazyDogFarm]

Not sure. If you leave them outside too long after harvesting, they will get spongy. But ours usually stay crisp for several hours until we can wash, dry, and put them in bags.

[@donnalovintexas8760]

That is a beautiful harvest. I would love to be your neighbor and buy from your produce stand 😊. Then I need to find someone who likes to cook also haha. I could probably suffer a little and cook such beautiful veggies. I'm going to give a small raised bed garden a go this year. We are going to have lows around the mid 30s the next 3 nights then a low of 28 Friday. That's my zone 8A weather. No warm weather veggies.. tomatoes etc planting until Good Friday in my area. I wish those guys in West Texas would quit firing up the atmosphere. Ya'll Stay Safe and have a Blessed Day.

[@LazyDogFarm]

I've often wondered about finding someone who really loved preserving veggies. I would grow them and they would preserve them and we'd split the bounty. Haven't found that yet, but I'm still looking.

Travis, do you spray anything on your collards for pest control? I find the stink bugs and a few types of moths like them but I haven’t sprayed all winter.
