Happy Early Anniversary to you and yours

Yes, those are potato 'bugs', the larval stage that eats them up. We used to have to pick them by hand. Keep your buckwheat going in the middle of the rows like you have to attract beneficial insects. Buckwheat also converts Phosphorous locked up in the soil to plant available Phosphorous (the P in NPK fertilizer), great for all plants and key for beans. Buckwheat also adds Magnesium. So it's good stuff to have and save seed from to replant.

I really wanted to try it however the old timer in me just could't stand it i Had to cultivate them lol, they'll be more come back up though

We just finished watching and I had to get the mop and mop up from drooling after watching Andy eat that strawberry! We introduced my parents that are in their 80s to your channel a few days ago and I talked to them yesterday and my mother said they watched for 4 hours yesterday and they loved it! My mother said it was addictive! It brought back old memories of their childhood. God bless

If you have the gumption to go out at nite with a flashlight, you'll see all the slugs. God bless your family and garden

Wow you’re going to have tomatoes running out your ears

For slugs, I bought copper rings to encircle my cabbage for this year (from a great & popular Scottish youtube channel "In the Garden w Eli & Kate"). My neighbor put Diatomaceous earth on my cabbages a couple times to reduce them.

You are surely blessed for all your hard work! You’d better rest up best you can. You are gonna be hoppin’ when that harvest starts coming in!

Those tomatoes said, " We want to LIVE!! 😆

Let some of them grow and keep the seeds from them for next year. Those are the fittest tomatoes and have adapted to your local environment.

Me and Bill want to wish y'all a Happy belated Anniversary! Pulling weeds on your anniversary sounds like something we'd be doing on ours. 😂😂 Wishing y'all well! God bless!

It’s amazing how real rain helps the plants more than well water dose

absolutely

Here is a quick trick for Japanese beetles. Get some of those yellow milk jugs and tie them to a post through the handle. About three inches from the bottom drill some 1/4 to 3/8 inch holes. Get some cherry extract and mix it with water and put an inch or two in the jug. The color of the jug pulls them in, and the cherry smell makes them crawl in the whole and drown. It won't catch them all, but it'll put a dent in them.

I recovered nine tomato seedlings from compost pile. Looks to be large red cherry, variety I plant annually

That rain did soooooo much good for you folks on the gardens, looking great and getting with the program for sure. Hope you can get the tater bugs under control PDQ. The pigs were offering their help to pick them strawberries for sure. Got the new greenhouse getting it's work time in already, looks great with the shelving in there. Thanks for sharing with us keep safe and have fun . Fred.

Happy Anniversary...Happy Mothers Day...Happy Growing 💯

I’ve never seen anyone be more genuinely excited about a garden than you two! You can hear the passion in your voices! What a great life!

Thank goodness for the rain. God is good.

My garden is growing like crazy this year. My tomatoes are already over 2 foot tall this year.

Happy anniversary 😊 always appreciate y'all sharing such a wonderful story 🙏 God bless this wonderful family 🙏

Hello from South Georgia Danny here thank God for rain ☔

Congratulations on 11 years!!!

👍❤️🙏 Happy Mother's Day to all 🎉🎉🎉

The little bugs are the potatoes bugs at a young stage.

Happy Anniversary to you Megan and Andy I hope you have many many more years together

Have a great Mother’s Day 🌸 🌸🌹and good morning from Oregon

Good morning from Appalachian Kentucky. Happy Anniversary. Greenhouse ideas are endless. Have an awesome weekend. Much Love.

Happy Anniversary Andy and Megan. You all have green thumbs.🐝💐🐝💐🐝

Far as planting the seeds. Dad always told me 2 per hole. His theory was …. 1 to push and the other to grow ! Lol

Andy is so handy seems he can do any thing.

Long time fan! Putting all our seedlings in the ground this weekend. They’ve grown into some beautiful plants! Can’t wait! Watchin’ y’all while I get ready for work tonight. Keep telling myself, “self, if Megan can keep it all together, so can you!” Love y’all!

Lots of rain my way . To much

HAPPY 11TH ANNIVERSARY TO Y'ALL, MANY MORE 🏵️🌼🪷🪻 🌻🌺💐🌷 🌹💮 HAPPY BLESSED MOTHER'S DAY MEAGAN... SPOIL MEAGAN, YOUR MOTHER'S ON MOTHER'S DAY. I SURE DO MISS MINE.... GOD BLESS Y'ALL 🙏

You two ar some hard working folks and raising 2 youngens awsome love following you on the farm 😅😅😅

New subscriber, so glad I came across your channel! Easy and relaxing viewing. Happy Anniversary 💍💍

Happy anniversary. My husband and I will be married 41 years on may 21. May is a beautiful month

I seen a video the other day a guy had his table built with hardware clothe with another shelf under it with a tote to catch the extra dirt when he was filling trays. Was pretty slick.

You all are doing a great job guys!!!!!😇!😇!😇!😇!

Happy anniversary. Just celebrated 30 with my honey on January 31st 2024

Hi Andy and Megan We use spinosad spray on our potatoes it is labeled for organic growing, and you would not believe how well it works on the potato beetles. It kills adults and larvae. We have to spray two or three times a season as needed.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE BEST COUPLE ON KZread! Your being married for 11 years is great, ❤ we celebrated our 35th in April. Seems like time surely does fly by. I loved seeing your gardens and all of your plants. Love your shelves that Andy built for your new greenhouse. I bet he will start a Fall garden too, lol. I do love gardening, it's just good for the soul. Thanks for sharing another excellent video!

Thank you so so much for your kind words!

It's amazing how much we still depend on the weather! It literally rained here in southern WV 11 of 12 days through Saturday. Five or six inches of rain. The rain was fairly light and intermittent Saturday so I set tomato plants. It's still too wet to plant beans and corn and the rain is due back tomorrow. Last spring wasn't this way and I had a great garden. But it does actually seem to be the norm here the last few years. Good luck to y'all. Tough when all that work doesn't pay off!

Deer came in and totally ate up all my green beans, stomped on my cucumbers, ate the tops off my bell peppers and took out my sweet potato slips. I am devastated and replanting this weekend. Will put something up so they can’t get into my above ground beds

I am so sorry!

Happy Anniversary Andy & Meagan!🥳👫💘 The greenhouse shelves are lookinggreat & Andy couldn't wait to start some seeds! I like how you left some space inside too. Maybe add a couple of gutters & a rain barrel for watering the starts/plants. Happy Mother's Day to you Meagan!

Put benches under the shelving for more plant trays if needed? The shelves look great and the wire was a great idea

I remember when I was little Dad and I would walk down the tater rows with a can that had gas in it and pick off the bugs and drop em in the can.....

We are really good at growing rocks

Awww! Happy Eleventh Wedding Anniversary!! I thought the 11th anniversary was a Steel gift, but a Potato gift may be more romantic! 🤣 Your gardens are looking good! Best of luck with the potato bugs! You’ll have to remove the adult bugs and spray for the larva and eggs so they don’t hatch. Ugh! It isn’t easy to get rid of them. A cover over the plants before they grow next year will help.

Thanks for sharing. 😊❤🙏 Ms. Ruby

you can always build another shelve above the ones you just built also. Looks good y'all

The new greenhouse is going to be so nice ❤🙏😊

I really love your channel. I reminds me when I was growing up in Indiana and our gardens.

Good evening Meagan and Andy. Happy Anniversary to you both. Really enjoy watching your videos. Always look forward to watching them. Have a Blessed Day 😊

Heck yeah. Those are baby potato bugs. Hate those things!

Love it, get you a sign that says BLOOM❤️

Walk by Faith, it will be coming up

So happy yaw got rain

Happy Anniversary! You two are the cutest. 😊

I love to watch you both!!! I’m from Kentucky so I’m glad those Ky beans came up!!!

We always dusted our potatoes with lime when I was a kid and it didn’t put any chemicals in the ground it was actually good for the ground
