I loved this video. I don't care what it's about. Your family makes the video. And we got to see Callie babysitting Grandpa!

[@723skierbob]

Couldn’t have said it any better! Your videos are always fun and interesting no matter the subject. Thanks everyone!

[@theveggieboys]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@h.s.6269]

Exactly! I love the family dynamics and wish this is something my family could do but we are now scattered between IL and MN. I remember growing up chatting with my dad about how we could all live close knit on a somewhat large property and raise a market garden and animals. We would all have our jobs. So it's amazing to see what I thought was only a dream be working so wonderfully for a nice family like yours!

[@BosnWayne]

I absolutely love seeing Grandpa with Callie. Dude that is special.

[@kellyc.alexander2328]

Oh my goodness your wifey is awesome 😎. Callie is a good girl for watching grandpa and making sure he behaved 🤣😂

[@theveggieboys]

That’s a full time job

[@kellyc.alexander2328]

😂🤣 Yes it is!!

[@mudtoy86]

We made our first trip from D.C. just to come check out the farm. It was awesome! We bought 3 giant pumpkins, several different veggies and grapes. I laughed when I saw this episode, because I am sitting here eating grapes from the farm. Keep up the videos, they are awesome!

[@theveggieboys]

Hey! It was a pleasure to meet you and the kids. Thanks again!

[@lauralockridge8201]

Hi Vegie Boys!! I'm a friend of Nancy Fehr's and she has told me for years about working there with you guys and how much she cares about all of you all. She is so happy to see you all on you tube and I am too! Hoping the best for all your hard work. Sister Laura Lockridge.

[@juliemcgugan1244]

Some of my fondest memories of my Grandparents is of helping them in their gardens as a child. Being able to spend so much time with your family, when you all work side by side, is incredibly special! Callie is going to have a magnificent childhood!

[@dougwest4150]

Thank you Andrew for showing what the Veggie Girls and Grammy do in the market. I know all the girls work hard as the Veggie guys do. Boy is Grammy a worker making Salsa, Banana Bread, Zucchini Bread, and Tomato Jelly Yum Yum!!! Thanks Faye

Loved the informational video! Love the joy the comes from grandpa every time he’s near that precious Callie.

[@lindaveswuh7777]

Beautiful family amazing people loved it..God blessed..😍🙏

[@Fidg234]

Something else I like about your family is the simplicity of your eating habits which makes mealtime easier on the cooks. Who needs huge meals when there's all those crops to enjoy.

[@hannamaepolo2467]

Daniel is too cute😍I love to see him in your videos!!

Watching your family makes me think of when my family was together, my husband just passed and my kids are all grown, so it let's me relive my younger years, I loved my garden, and canning, everything, so you kids , keep on doing what your doing.it makes people happy,

[@joannak4640]

It’s fun to go back and watch older videos :) Callie is walking and talking now but this one from a year ago she is so small 💜

[@jr9329]

Of course we enjoy watching your videos :) They are relaxing to watch, funny with clean language and good humor, very informative and best of all, being able to see a great family working hard together to feed people. I started eating tomatoes regularly because of your videos, they are delicious.

[@carlross555]

Carl Northeast Ohio I am one of the ones that inquired on growing carrots I grew a little patch of carrots in my garden and I was really shocked how well they done I have a small garden in my backyard with raised beds and I was just wondering thank you for getting back to that love what you guys do cannot wait for your next video one of these days me and my wife said we are going to come out and visit your store God bless

[@mersgm7730]

Thanks for another lovely video Andrew. Nice to see your family working together. And thank you for answering the question that was in my mind for a few days now. The carrots! Hope the weather in your area will improve soonest and we will hear that crunch crunch crunch sound of bell pepper picking as well as corn again. Cute Callie, taking good care of grandpa 😊 Best regards 🙏🏼 Watching from Hong Kong 🌼

[@hopeluck6791]

should defoliate around the clusters and remove secondary shoots once the fruit is set and going into veraison. then defoliate again around now to deter fungus. if you defoliate before fruit set you have a chance at losing berries. i work in a vineyard in PA, we grow 8 varieties of wine grapes. its a looooot of work, lol.

[@matthewochs8189]

Thank you so much that’s very helpful

[@hopeluck6791]

@@matthewochs8189 no problem! grapes are timid but rewarding crop. you guys did great though!

[@sawdust5277]

Can't wait for Matt & Tracy's wine vids.

[@xtender5]

Gotta make sure they stick their pinky fingers out when they sample.

[@theveggieboys]

Lol me too!

[@kathystarling1308]

It’s always I joy to see your videos. You do SUPER job of editing and keeping them interesting. I’ve been viewing your older videos and it really shows you have become more relaxed talking on camera. Thank you for information on invasion of insects. Also nice knowing someone has to be trained on what to look for and how to get rid of them. Lots of behind scenes work farmers must do. It was added bonus of Callie watching Grandpa.

[@theveggieboys]

Thanks for the kind words

[@adamcataldi5674]

We'd love to see her recipe for that tomato jelly. Asking again for Grammy to show us some of her wisdom on recipes using what you guys grow.

[@whaevah97]

Wow! Tracy picking grapes and making wine. 🍇 🍷 Can’t wait to see what the results will be. (Had to give a shout out to our Merritt Island girl❤️) Even though the weather wasn’t great, there was plenty of interesting stuff going on. I enjoyed seeing the inside of the store and I actually have wondered about onions and the other missing vegetables, so you’re explanation was great.

[@terrykunst3883]

Great update, it is so interesting to hear about what plants you have grown, why do you grow them or why you don’t. Your explanations are easy to understand And make so much sense. Even on a rainy day, there’s so much to be done at the farm and in the market. This was like getting a behind-the-scenes tour, and felt very special. Lauren is so sweet!

[@CuriousEarthMan]

thanks for explaining Andrew! I wondered about a bunch of those things.....the carrots and garlic especially. Thank you all for sharing :)

[@kevechevroletcoupee4621]

May be a rainy day but the veggie boys and girls are still busy…rain or shine the farm business just keeps rolling along.

[@tonyaholcomb6662]

I really love your videos. Everyone stays so busy. I like seeing the family work together and eat together. Grandma is a very busy woman cooking three meals a day for that many is a job all in itself. 😃

[@marvelenelavigne7427]

I love your videos and I understand now how a farm works. Thank you for sharing

Wish we had a good farm store like this in spring grove, York. I’m originally from Lancaster and miss living over on that side

[@1gr8lpta]

for not knowing much about grapes y'll are doing a great job

[@gerripoole5565]

Love seeing you guys. More than a few of my family members watch you. And we remind each other when you post new ones. We all agree it just makes us happy.

[@BigMicksLittlePlot]

Another Great Video from my favorite Channel!!! Thanks Veggie Boys!!!

[@tommathews3964]

Two things changed my carrot life, moving out of the ground and into raised beds and pelleted seeds! By building my raised beds I am able to control the soil content and make sure it stays nice and fluffy with no rocks, roots, etc. I mix large amounts of peat, coir, and perlite in my soil and keep it light. Pelleted seeds allow me to space correctly when planting and eliminate thinning. Total game changer! I'm able to grow, harvest, and sell, nice straight beautiful carrots!! Give it a try!

[@gungadin6889]

Our Veggie Family works so hard for us, let's get them over 100,000 subscribers. They have lots of mouths to feed especially babies

we had an infestation of Box elder beetles, they used to sit in a carpet of red on our garage and the side of our house. Then all of a sudden, after two years, the birds finally decided they were food and started picking them off the house until they're mostly gone now

So much appreciated you explaining why you do not grow certain crops. Most interesting!

We lost our grape crop this year! Love our homegrown grapes, and we will be more prepared for the rabbits this winter.

[@MrMockingbird1313]

Hey Matthew, 15 years back I owned a big rig truck. Coming into the Arizona Port of Entry, from California, the rig ahead of me was stopped and his trailer opened for inspection. He had 40,000 lbs of cotton Tee-Shirts. The border ag agent had a suspicion about that rig and she wound up shutting him down for several days. When the trailer doors were unlocked and opened the rig was filled with an invasive traveling spider colony, from the California desert.

Slowing down for a rainy day occasionally is a good thing. 👋🏻

[@extraordinarilyawkward7151]

Those orchards would be awesome. Sad you gave it up after so many years establishment, they would have just started pumping more and more fruit over time, allowing you to practice with the initial lower yield period

[@WasuWasuSu]

My dad likes to watch the basement during storms too… he prepared two pumps just for the basement in case it floods. XD our house is lower than the neighboring houses so water flows our way during storms which means my dad had valid concerns and wasn’t over prepared with the two pumps.

[@theveggieboys]

Your dad and I are alike.

[@valh9858]

There was a lot in this video. Very informative. Thanks. I'd love to see how Matt makes wine from those grapes.

Wet basement. A great fix is a French drain. You have enough help you could install it in the basement around the perimeter in a day and connect it to a sump pump. Hope this helps.

[@Ellenslife851]

You probably knew this but just as a helpful tip because I work for a winery out in the field make sure you put up net over your grapes just before Harvest When they start growing in so that way the birds won’t get to them and also it doesn’t hurt to have a bird whaler And the more traps you can put out the better

[@juliemcgugan1244]

I will not bother growing root crops, this autumn. Not only are they cheap to buy from local farmers, in my area, but mine turned out half-rotten and bug riddled, after the wet and long winter, last year.

Hi ..new subscriber here..loved your videos..💖💖

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

I really enjoyed this video today because it wasn’t just getting things out for market and also putting everything out for the market and picking produce❣️❣️ today you had very Highwinds and a lot of rain and we got to see a different version of what happened on the farm when that happens. I lived on the farm and you have days when the weather really plays havoc with your plans not to mention, the farm!! Regardless of your plans, There is always something to do: •equipment that needs repairing •Barns/stalls that can be cleaned out or Inner fences & Gates and hinges that can be repaired that seem to always get put off in a perfect for rainy days; • I need inside the house it’s in the present time to clean the inside windows covered which I loved because I enjoyed getting to see all the things mother cat put away high up on the shelves and I love handling all the beautiful antique glassware passed down from generation after generation making a shiny and polished in my brain on the shelves before you put it all back away for another year ,(or 2); • bringing out the canned juices flavors, & as grandma was doing and making jams and jellies, as well as many varieties of Christmas brands and gifts before the holiday season was upon us and getting them in the freezer or on the shelves but already decorated with ribbons and handmade decorative papers so that you had another job out of the way before the massive Holiday was Upon you •th were always jobs

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

Continue page 2 call and I am one of the people that I’ve asked the question about why you don’t have apples and other fruits and I appreciate you taking a moment in this video to address this subject matter on your video! I now understand so much better and having lived in more than one state and regional growing area, I can definitely appreciate what you’re saying!!!!! It’s not a matter of just bringing in sand and dirt and mulch for a small garden area but when you’re in business it’s a whole different ball game. When you’re in it to make business/Lots of money you can’t really bring in enough soil or dirt/mulch/ or sand you’re after year to grow a Good orchard of apple varieties or cherries or plums etc.❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️In fact it took 20 years almost for my Great-grandfather to have a orchard he was really proud of she passed down to my grandfather, For a soil quality he was very happy with.!!❣️❣️♥️♥️ and when you started talking about the cure is being so deformed because of the rocks, I can totally relate to that because when I was 10 years old, I totally could relate to that as my parents purchased a new land and we had to do a lot of work clearing it and repairing the different types of gardens that my father wanted including a sandy hill for watermelon and sweet potatoes and his red Pontiacs (potatoes, for those who don’t know what that is). Also, several years of killing and plowing and spreading manure from the cattle and the pigs before the Gardens we’re rich enough for the many different types of different types of garden produce we were going to grill… But there was a lot of labor by the children…12, (& parents, too, As we repaired 100 years worth of land in very Poor quality to fabulous Gardens what do you think quality for real funny you’re almost there are you and beyond. But it takes a lot of work to not only prepare soil but also, but I do understand what your soil is limited to or capable of doing especially on a large scale. So thank you so much for talking to us about these issues to those of us who have been pushing it did Eli‘s for myself, I can say you have answered my questions!! Besides, I think you have your hands full and I do love your videos. You have become my top Farm video♥️💜♥️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
