She Really Gets me Into Stuff 

Doug should think of the tulips bending over like down corn. That way he can easily remember that fact.

Another great video. Loved that California farming around Manteca. We too love those watermelon!👍❤️

poor Dougo great tolerance

"I've seen some things" Doug Larson 2024. That was epic! Probably things you cant unsee as well.

You two are so cute❣️❣️💙❤️❣️❣️

You two make me smile. Grateful to see normal is still alive and well. We all need to appreciate the little things in life.

I live on the county roads here in iowa and i would panic if I had to leave from my surroundings from where I've come from, poor duego, I am not wasting money to go away from somewhere i love and cherish

I felt it so bad. When Amy was talking about heaven and the best things is no more tears. Nicole , God is good, and with time it heals.

Enjoy your chats Amy & Doug always interesting .Keep up the great videos.

Doug is at his happiest on the farm and at home in his chair. I feel your pain Doug.

Dougo when you're at home, you're not feeling any pain. That's your confort zone. Lol!!

Yes you have Dougo... Being a fellow Minnesotan from long ago that transplanted to CA I will back you 100%. No truer statement can be made ....You have seen lots of things that can't be unseen. I am sorry you had to be exposed to those things.

I am with you Doug. Us farmers are like fish out of water in the big cities!!! Give me the open spaces and only a few people around me!!!

Had to laugh at Doug's comment about not getting anything out of a sunset. I'm 71 and I get a big kick being able to see a sunrise every morning now. Lol

Try Irish Spring soap to protect your tulip bulbs. Use a cheese shredder to shave the soap bar around your planting. Kept the squirrels away from mine (so far).

I feel you pain Dougo. In 1994 this mall town Idaho boy saw some things in that airport that I wish I hadn't seen

Dougo - Talking Point Cards are Amy’s Jedi Mind Tricks 😂

We all know, when Doug can take his girl and go have fun; he's a mighty happy man. 😀

I look forward to heaven too, but I don't want to think about the journey between now and then. Lol 😆 🤣 😂

Funny you were in Manteca and I live in Manteca. Have been watching you guys for a long time.

Honest answer from dougo the end of the video!

Paper dolls for farm boys! We've come a long way!!😅 how fun

Amy you are getting pretty good at making him squrim in his seat thanks for the videos

Hubby and I laughed so hard as my hubby put the same tractor together from The Successful Farming magazine last week. 🤣. Dougo u r a good man! 🚜

Enjoying your video today. My hubby grew up in Ripon CA and spent a lot of time in Modesto and Manteca. His widowed mom sold the farm in Ripon to one of the Van Groningen's. We have vacationed there at least 20 times in our 57 years of marriage. My hubby used to pitch watermelons from their wagon to the semi trailer on their farm when he was a kid!! We watch from Grand Rapids MI.

Doug made me laugh with his answer of the end of the video!!!!!!! :)

It is so much fun to see you make Dougo squirm. You two are so amazing sharing a glimpse of your life with us.

Thank you for the video! It’s ok to get out of our comfort zones sometimes. I have been to Oakland and San Francisco before so I can imagine what he is talking about! Mr. Dougo’s nervous energy is somewhat humorous because they go to all these farm shows and meet all the different people. This is a big wide world. I guess we just stay in our own lane even when we travel!! LOL I am glad you enjoyed your trip and traveling more! Good job on the tractor. Sending ❤ and Blessings!

I laughed out loud at “the end of the video”😂😂

I love Dougo's comments & reactions! I did not enjoy CA at all when I was there 5 years ago and can't imagine going there now! Give me good old farm fields, gravel roads & no high rises! Great job, Amy. I can remember when you did no editing. You've come a long way. The tulips were beautiful! Hope you dont get hammered with too much snow & wind!

Amy, please don't stop pulling Dougo on the spot. Ah Dougo you have so much fun LMAO!!!

I've always wondered if a watermelon is supposed to be seedless, where do they get seeds to plant seedless watermelon? Doug needs a planter to go behind his tractor

At last Dougo is happiest at home building his Tractor. He definitely doesn't like the camera intruding on his "private" time. Poor Lad. Amy don't do that to him when he thinks your doing something else.

You too are so much fun. God Bless.

“I’ve seen some things and Come on man”. Dougo is awesome! 😂

Funny, Doug looks most forward to the video being done. 🤣 Doug won’t see sunsets in heaven as there will be no darkness, only light. Heaven will be awesome, I believe we will see colors we’ve never seen, smell the most wonderful smells we’ve never smelled, taste the most amazing foods and hear the most beautiful sounds, better than anything on earth.

Oh Dougo, you do so well on camera at the farm, but nervous as a long tail cat when Amy is filming, have a great week Larson’s

Heaven on earth = no more struggle bus!

I know the feeling at the Oakland Airport. I have almost missed flights looking for the parking lot that seems to move every time I go there

I’m with you. I don’t do well in towns of over 7,000 population.

Yes, tulips do keep growing after cutting and they will also straighten up in time instead of arching gracefully. This time of year you can buy tulip bunches (10 stem) in grocery stores and florists, around my area (eastern PA) for around $7-9 As they grow taller, you can cut off a bit of the lower stem as they start to get too wild. When purchasing, select the ones that are not as far along, greener buds the better, they will develop and last longer. Back when I first started working the the florist shop, tulips were only available from maybe Valentine's day and if you were lucky and conditions were favorable maybe Mother's day. Now days tulips are grown in greenhouse conditions on a forcing schedule taking them from cold storage to greenhouse to bloom in a scheduled time. Enjoy! Yes, growing tulips outdoors are mostly an invitation for them turning into a nice tasty treat for the same creatures who enjoy hostas and day lilies...

Good dutch name VanGronigen. I enjoyed the video of your travels. I also love tulips and they are grown in the Netherlands. It is nice when you can see farming in other parts of the good old USA. I too am looking forward to heaven! Have a blessed Easter.

Dougo built the tractor?! 😮 My husband put the entire sheet in a plastic sleeve to save. 😂

Have to agree with Amy! I look forward to heaven as well. Hope I get to meet the whole Larson family there! Look so forward to seeing you both! Doug has come along way with being on camera. Take care and God bless!

we all know Dougo secretly likes the camera lol

Come on man? 😂 Love it👍

I live in the country, miles from town and I love it. I like to travel too. They built a Dollar General store a half mile from my house, and I make the trip there at least once a week. That's about all the travel I need. 😊

Awesome video Amy. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I remember seeing the same look on Dougo’s face as that calf had on his face

Another great video.❤❤. Love that Amy. Great job Doug on the paper tractor.

Dougo, I think you may be closer than you might know about heaven on earth 🌎.

Great that you could visit us in California 🌷❤️

Dougo just wanted to go home. 😂

I’m looking forward to the end of this video was priceless!!!😂

Amy my mother is big time into gardening and she uses Irish Spring soap shavings to deter the varmints away.⚘️🌷〽️😎👍

Doug & Amy, I enjoy your videos, please never stop making them!

Good job, putting your toy together.😂

Too bad you couldn't have flown out of Sacramento instead of SF! Sac is soooo much easier to get in and out of! Smaller airport, and they do have flights to your area.

Greetings from Groningen, The Netherlands.

Ha ha dougo that paper tractor more your speed now!*

Thanks for another great video Amy and Dougo. It was interesting and informative and enjoyable. Thanks Dougo for showing us the cutout you put together of the new 830 John Deere tractor. Quite clever really. Neat idea. Thanks for telling us about your trip and of course glad to be back home. I understand that. Nice to travel but super nice to get back home. Thanks for sharing the filming of the watermelon farm. Very interesting. Unusual that they plant the seeds by hand and the seeds are very expensive. Believe you have more videos of the tulip farm also to show us. All of it is very interesting. Interesting they plant the watermelon seeds by hand. Looking forward to seeing that. Well, welcome home to Minnesota. And I see by your windows that you are getting lots of snow, oh my. Snow to blow or push now. Looked like quite a bit looking out your windows. You both take care and be safe. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

Oh boy I can c the Eric n chet watching this n thing about dougO wanting a big garden.Amy this for a great job

I’ve seen some things Love it

Doug can give chet that new tractor for his birthday 😂

Always look forward to your videos Amy !!

See that snow out there? That's what you get for putting your dock out! It's only March!

I made an effort to construct that tractor also and it was an epic failure. One of the tabs broke off so it was permanently stored in the burn bin.

LOVE.LOVE.LOVE GREAT.

Heaven on Earth is what you guys have right now. My wife and I enjoyed Heaven on Earth for about 40 years. Then she went to the real Heaven. Good for her but man do I miss her.

The same thing happened to me in San Diego. Couldn't find my way out if airport.

Put a couple of pennies in the vase and the tulips will stand up.

Realism vs Idealism!

Did you know that if you put pennies in the vase they do not bend

Hey Amy and dougo ill be having knee replacement surgery soon and asking for your prayers I need all I can get thanks much 🙏 😊

When planting tulip bulbs, put a penny in the bottom of hole. Blossoms last longer

Compare the people you see out West at the Airports & other places to the people & kids you meet in the Midwest at Farm Shows & other places & tell me where you'd rather live & Raise a Family. 😮

I have to Say, Nikki was the Catalyst behind Chet and was Full of Joy for the Larson Family and Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ always has brought the Larson family closer together. I See Sadness in Dougo and Amy it’s hard to explain in Words, but Nikki’s mark has even Touched myself in That Family and having Faith is all we have in this Life. It’s not money or Stuff. Trust God in all things he Provides for Us!

💐👍🙂

LOL I live in California but I say away from the city🙈

I myself look forward to heaven but... i also feel that sunsets are a blessing every day. Im thankful for every one. Living in a place where you can truly appreciate gods creation everyday wether its snowing or sunny is the greatest gift ever. You have family , a nice home and good health. What more could you ask for. I do realize that losing loved ones tends to make us question why but one day we will have the answer when we are called to gods kingdom. Dougo you are a lucky man. The beauty all around you is not to be taken for granted.

Dougo leave the tulips alone and go back to that J D cut out 😅😅😅

I am laughing out loud.

I grew up in the country, running around my grandpa's farm growing up, and i can't take the city, because it just looks like chaos to me lol. I live twenty minutes from a small city, and even that's to much. Doug looks more comfortable with you on the camera, i think he's doing good. You cracked me up telling him about the tulips, and then he didn't like that yellow one hanging over by itself. You and Doug are great together, you always make me laugh. Last name's can be a challenge, but sometimes i don't know how people can mess the pronunciation up with my last name. I was born Record, but was adopted by my step dad when i turned 18 (that's a whole other mess), and now it's Hunsicker. If you look at it, it sounds just like it looks, but it gets butchered pretty bad, and i don't know why. Thanks for my Sunday update, hope i don't get all that snow over here in Michigan, come on spring. G-d bless.

You seeing aliens from another termal lol

The thing I most look forward to is seeing God and knowing and understanding him better, and then being more like him when I interact with his other children.

Do you two have the same glasses? The wonder twins!

My wife and I are close to yalls age little older. Just country folks like Yall here in Texas. Yall need to go. To Belize we had a ball. great fishing and you can go into the jungle.

So I'm a Hollander and we call tulips "Dutch Roses". Amy do you put fertilizer packets in the vase? Dougo the tractor looks kinda faded. Great video.

I look forward to Breakfast

After the 4th they market drops

TIME IS RUNING OUT ..

I am from CA and now living in OK and you should have gone to Sacramento instead of Oakland it's easier to get around and easier to go where you are at the watermelon farm and there are farms north of Sacramento

I’d take a field of wheat over a sunset anyday

GOOD LUCK i got the combine but failed the tractor

Revenge of the farmer"s wife. Lol

I see that dougo playing kids stuff again better not let kids like Chet play with them they will loose them LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

is that your Christmas tree in the back ground?

Doug was talking about color blindness. Has he tried the color blindness glasses? I permanently and totally lost my sense of taste in smell while I was on a fire call. It’s strange that even losing those senses can kind of make you feel disconnected from people a bit. Man do I miss the smell of my beautiful wife.

Nice last seen of Doug staring at the tulips , are you guys going to start growing them ? 😀

My boss says that she never found instructions to build the tractor
