God bless you and your son. You are such an encouragement to all of us!
Thanks dear
Garden looking great after storm. Plants can be tough. Love your attitude Mark. God bless you and your son.
Mark, I really enjoyed the tour as well as your welcome advice.
What a beautiful video. The ending was so sweet. I know your kind words of encouragement will help a lot of gardeners that are feeling less than successful. I know because I'm one of them. We had some success that was exciting and some losses, that was sad. BUT, we count it all joy and a great learning experience for more success next year!
Thank you Mark. Loved seeing Lucy. We lost our boxer Baby Rae three weeks ago, so, needless to say, it's lonely here, we're heartbroken and very sad!
Good advice….sit back and pray!! Gets no better than that. 🙂
Hey! Another great video. I was wondering what a rough estimate for startup cost would be for your scale of production, land aside, and hypothetically how much land that equipment could cultivate with a community of people working the equipment pretty much full time in shifts. I've only done backyard gardening but I can definitely see how this can feed large amounts of people, especially with sunchokes
You are awesome!
My tomatoes are eaten by chipmunks and squirrels, do you have a recommendation?
Do you really think pollinating that plant now will produce a viable fruit? I’m not sure there is enough time?
I’d like to hear more specifics on how you process and sell your sunflowers. Very interesting.
I really enjoyed this video. The next storm is just hitting us now. I harvested all I could, hoping for the best. Your words of wisdom are so true.
Mark, it's such a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you for your consistency and positivity.
Derecho, powerful straight line winds.
You are looking healthy, keep up the good work.
In Illinois field corn means Monsanto!
Thanks for taking the time to show us around the farm. You take such good care of it and you have such a passion for the land. I appreciate that you are not afraid to share your heart to a bunch of unknowns out here. I'm glad to know that you are a person who knows who's really in control. Indeed, He holds us in His hands and we can just relax knowing that He will supply all our needs, in spite of how things look on the outside–living by faith and not by sight.
Blessings to you and your family, Mark. You will see him speak one day.
Derecho was bad in Iowa as you said. The city of Cedar Rapids, about an hour North west of me lost over half of their tree canopy. We lost a huge oak tree in our yard, still lying on the ground because tree service is so backed up, winds were 100+. Thankfully the tree missed our house, otherwise, our house would have been destroyed. Corn flattened as you said. Very sad all round..
love you man
This is fabulous. I am saving this video. Hugs❤️
what are your thoughts about covering an existing winter cover in the early spring , later winter or summer [ in my case rye and clover ] with a mat of spoiled hay. i have a rather large garden so leaf mold or wood chips are a problem. Hay ive got. weed seeds in the hay may be a problem .I'm thinking cardbord or some type of ground cloth. I'm in the Carolina's and weeds are crazy. I need to grow soil to so i expect Id remove and continue again with cover crops and rotate maybe.
Have you ever put leafs down and than woodchips overtop? That's what I do in my garden and simply walking over it breaks down the leafs, it gives you that boost to speed up the process.
I hold you personally responsible for my cattle panel addiction. Big thanks from 6b West MI for some direction to get started 2 years ago and leaf hoarding. Winter Rye is up and waiting for snow — cattle panel rows in May! You should try multi color gladiolas — I helped a friend's farm stand and those sell like crazy $1 each. I thought those were out of style! Nope! Nagelglads dot com.
HI Mark. I have always wanted to ask you. the potatoes you grow , are they determinate or undeterminate ? and why this one and not the other. Thanks, Michael
Thank you.
I love my little Kubota. Got to get me one of those sun roofs. I was devastated last year when a bad hailstorm tore my garden to shreds. Healthy plants and soil are amazing. Two or three weeks later you wouldn't even know that the storm happened. My summer squashes wouldn't quit last year. They grew and produced from spring all the way to mid fall. They were shredded stumps after the storm along with all my viney stuff. They bounced back brilliantly. The hail basically equated to a free pruning for beans, tomatoes and peppers and such, though it did push harvest back a bit. I like onions for companions to my tomatoes. And of course, lots of beneficial plantings everywhere. It was very dry here last year and has been so since. Hoping for a little more snow pack before winter ends in MN. That derecho was something else wasn't it. Somehow my sweet corn made it through the hail with a little help propping it back up after. Great looking garden you got there! I fell in love with sunflowers last year and am very curious to see if I can crank up production, but have been trying to figure best market or way to sell and present them. Do you have any videos on that? Good on you for getting it done on your own. I'm trying to do the same here, only a few years in and learning and working my tail off. It's good to see it can be done. Thanks.
I too have a handicap son from a hard premature birth and I easily see that each of them and us has different skills and lack of skills and I think he is smiling the most which perhaps the best of skills
Thanks, You are a very great speaker and you say you are learning,I hope also to do that for a lifetime and I'm 69 and trying to improve my garden and believe getting away from all or most tilting is better, But I have so many rocks and don't want to buy compose,
I had better results in Iowa with compose and thinking all compose might not be equal
Thanks hope to do my own compose and use more leaf
Gardens look nice…and their productive. well done, I hope to steal some ideas from you for my farm in Ontario. I also have an autistic son who loves farming and gardening (He grew huge sunflowers last year). Ever consider pygmy goats for lawn care and milk?
Excellent thoughts.
Great content Mark, I love ❤ it. Keep em coming.
