I don't know how you manage to draw my attention to dirt and veggies each video, but your explanations, of the important processes really ARE interesting, and always makes me want to have some fresh food on a fork while watching y'all working so hard! You make it look easy, Andrew, but I'm sure its skill and experience that comes thru to your audience! My THANKS to each of you, and ALL FARMERS for what you do for the country! God bless the American Farmer! : )

[@bscrimbitt9359]

I have raccoon damage every year. I was told to plant cucumbers throughout my corn and the coons wouldn't bother it. I was sure that wouldn't work but I tried one year and had no damage! Now I plant squash instead as we don't eat squash in my family so don't care how much fruit I get. I only want the vines. I've also planted zucchini and such. Anything with those types of leaves. It's worked every year. They say the coons don't like the feel on prickly leaves on their feet. I don't assume that's practical for your size of planting but thought you'd be interested. Go figure!

[@galeparker1067]

back thru the corn me and dad could pick 2 to 3 hundred dozen in an hour pick the two run over rows a truck length and bend over some to mark where to back up to . when there was a cannery here they would have some one siting on the truck would pick and set them on the ground and they would keep going . were from close to Altoona

That is awesome to see plants going in ground they have a lot of roots on them wow. Those bad bandits destroyed corn crops an other veggies. Set a camera out in the field to see what animal is doing it? The veggies our looking real good . Had to go to market stands to get my veggies have about two things of veggies an fruit to make jam and jelly yet. Then make home made noodles and dumplings to put in freezer. We still have not had any rain yet Can’t wait for next video to come out . God bless you all

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good Afternoon Veggie Boys. Looks wonderful, truly awesome. Keep in mind that a drought is a tough thing to deal with. - and it's bound to happen sometime this summer. In the event that it does, I recommend that you begin spraying your fields with hydrogen peroxide in addition to regular H2O. You should doing it in usually in the evening. It's a great supplement to regular water to assist with the soil, our most important resource. Headin' in now for a big family supper with the family. Looks like it's gonna be taters, maybe some corn - possibly a nice big steak from the deep freeze. God Bless Y'all and thank you do to keep us all fed and healthy.

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

@@narsakucanada154 Yes it is. Soon we'll be hearing the lovely buzz of the cicadas, the "heat bugs" of August. When you're feeling low, just close your eyes and think of yellow peppers, one of God's many wonders. At harvest time, when it's time to pick those yellow peppers, it's as if you're picking the "capsicum sum of the sun of one summer." Take care and God Bless.

Crazy bucket flipping skills!

[@ZullyRecords]

The broccoli stock is even better if you cut it into thin slices and fry it almost like chips.

[@kathystarling1308]

Andrew you should think about doing a yearly calendar using pictures of your farm. Offer the small pictures (8x 11) and poster size. I’d buy at least 2 of each, drop to one of each if it’s a stable life created their calendar.

[@April.R646]

It would be hilarious seeing those squirrels and raccoons eating the hot peppers. 😂😂😂😂

[@jw6201]

I'm probably too late for answer, but wondering what variety of broccoli you plant? And I'm sure it's already been suggested but here in Iowa if you're going to plant sweet corn as a small gardener, you must always put up electric fence prior to silking, tassling. Coons attack corn as soon as they can smell it, long before it's mature.. The large growers can take a hit of a few rows here and there.

[@bstiger6482]

I'm sure you already know this, but you could save on your chicken feed costs by saving the broccoli leaves and feeding them to the poultry. They love greens. Just something for the frugal minded.

[@sowmyasukumaran3657]

Wonderful work.stay blessed .one suggestion,instead of pulling the entire plant why can’t you harvest the broccoli head only so you can get some more heads for one sow

[@waynebusse6376]

I caught 18 coons 5 possums and two skunks out of my first planting here in Indiana.

[@miriambertram2448]

You can't just say that about the broccoli stock without telling us how folks in your area cook it. Is it the usual chop it up and saute it in butter garlic and olive oil or something more entertaining. You could include this kind of regional information in future videos. Just a suggestion love your channel of course

[@theveggieboys]

[@trudlarellano11]

what a busy day...would you guys sell your produce outside your farm market? trade fair or what not.

[@tinashields9599]

I know how disheartening it is to find critter damage in the corn! Skunks will chew on what the coon drag down, I don't think they pull the ears off themselves. If you decide to set some live traps for the coon, try marshmallows- you need something extra sweet to compete with the corn! I have had success with that.

Just an IDEA...It doesn't harm animals...I bet deer never eat your hot peppers !
