***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

Are you able to even get a single planter indoors to bring some joy to you? Maybe get help setting it up and planting, but continuing to have something to water and care for can bring a lot of joy to an old gardener's heart! My 89 year old grandma loves to care for the 2 planters on the front porch, the flowers make her smile so beautifully.

@@h.s.6269 , I have citrus trees growing in large containers. They sit upon large saucers that have wheels. Since I live in Ohio they are in my livingroom for the colder months. I have two varieties of oranges , two kinds of lemons and one lime tree. For the warm months I roll them outside to my front deck. One thing to be careful of is sun burn. I use something like a garden row cover until they become acclimated to the sun. Those limes are really sour for eating fresh but wonderful for flavoring foods.

One says, the real gas shortage will start when we all in Texas start running our lawn mowers after all this rain. The other is a picture of a guy in front of a grill with the meat on a plate beside the grill along with the utensils. The water is up to about a couple of inches below the cooking part of the grill and it says, when you buy all your meat for Memorial Day, you still have to cook it.

It is a blessing when your spouse can help in the garden. Sadly as we get older sometimes you are left to do it on your own due to health problems. Yet I find that even if the help is only advice, its well worth it. Besides the garden is my escape at times. Sitting out in the evenings with my wife and just watching everything grow.
@h.s.6269 2 роки тому
Sometimes just having their company as you work can be just as fulfilling! I like to have my mother sit out with me when I work, partly to get her to stop working so hard and just breathe in fresh air and chill out. And yes, health issues can be a huge problem when trying to do projects as time sensitive as gardening. The last 2 years I had fibro flare ups (i get nearly bed bound from pain) that lasted nearly a month right at the time the tomatoes NEEDED to get properly trellised and supported. When I was finally able to get out there it was a forest and the stems had touched ground and started new roots randomly so there was no fixing it, lol!

I've watched quite a few of you're videos over the last several months. I took your advice and ordered the weed cloth for the first time. I was able to plant a little over a month ago here in S.C. I've had great success thus far with very few little weeds around the base of the plants that I've had to pull. Im not a spring chicken, at 59 years old, this has been the easiest planting of my entire life, and weeding (or lack thereof). My health has taken a nose dive too, with 3 major surgeries in the last year and half. So to have this much success with my garden has been a complete life changing experience. THANK THE TWO OF YOU SWEET THINGS For All your advice in your videos. Haven't harvested yet, so still tuning in frequently to see how you canned your harvest.

@jessicapearson9479 2 роки тому
Because by the end of the growing season the colour would wear off and if it didn't it could leak poisonous chemicals into your soil for the plants to suck up. Also, if you are rotated your plants every year it is pointless to put that much effort into marking the ground cover as you would have to constantly be remarking it. All the work into remarking it is too time consuming when you are having to do a ton of other things on your homestead on top of planting your garden. It is just not practical. Plus, she has the planning sheets from the years before that she can look back on for reference.

I am not dogging the homestead here I just want to give a little advise to those that read the comments. If you use the cloth fabric for your garden, you do not have to pull it up every year. A good garden cloth can last 5 years or more. You can even replant in the same holes from the year before. It is as simple as 1,2,3. Pull old plants, add a good mix of soil, fertilizers to holes. Replant new plants. Or pay tons of money for replacing cloth. I know the option I like better. You don't have to pull the cloth and work the complete garden every year. Just work the areas you plant. That is what I have been doing for years now. I only till the places I don't use the cloth. It saves a load of money and time. AND IT WORKS! Again just an FYI.

I just started watching a couple of weeks ago. I have enjoyed your successes and trials. I just wanted to give you an idea you might try. When I was in horticulture school many many moons ago, we would test our seeds before planting. You randomly select 10 seeds from the packet. Place a wet paper towel in a quart size ziplock. Put the seeds on the wet paper towel leave air in the bag and seal it. Take note of the days to germination for your particular seed. Place the bag in a warm place. At the end of your germination time count the number of seeds that sprouted. If you have 9, then you can expect approximately 90% of your seed to germinate, 5 sprouts = ~50% ect. When you plant your seed you can adjust accordingly. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences.

Hi from Annandale, Minnesota about an hour NW of Minneapolis. We used to live in Alaska. I purchased many Earth Boxes due to cool ground there. I have limited space here so have planted 2 tomatoes per Earth Box (they water through a tube into a resovoir in the Box. I really like this system. The black fabric on top of potting soil keeps weeds at a minimum (virtually none) and the soil is so warm. I buy determinate tomatoes and they all grow on my patio beautifully. Sorry - this has turned into a book -- know you have a huge garden; however, small spaces thrive in this type of gardening. Thanks and keep up your hard work. Best wishes for your oldest daughter in her future endeavors now that she's graduated and will be spreading her wings out into the big wide world! :-)

Nope; it’s a sincere addiction of mine too. It’s life affirming. 💚🌱
@libbyminchin3163 2 роки тому
@@melissasullivan1658 I get excited when I see the tiny apples starting to for on the trees, the little buds coming out on the tomatoes. All of it. I missed out on so many years of this. I’ve only been gardening for two years. All those years wasted. X

I have used egg shells in the past. This year I went to the elevator and got a bag of oyster shells. Then gave them a shake of miracle grow in the hole too. Weather is still in the low 40 in north Iowa with on going rain. I got onions, beets, carrots and part of my tomatoes. I’m really thinking I need one of those drills . Your looking good. Wishing your garden the Best. GodBless all!

Realizing you know, but didn't mention: test old seed germination prior to planting using the "paper towel baggy" method. Awesome the way you're using modern ideas to make gardening enjoyable!
@kathleenperdue9753 2 роки тому
I tried that baggie method this year too and it has worked great. I saw it on "An American homestead" Zac showed how well it worked,. Bless you guys, love your channel 😍🙏💞👼
@joytoyouandme4593 2 роки тому
If you have an instant pot, you can speed up the germination. The process uses the yogurt setting. Search here on you tube for videos.

I was surprised that you didnt have the electric fence up as soon as you planted the tomatoes. Have a wonderful summer and may your plants be fruitful! 🌱🌱🌱
@chamelaroo4683 2 роки тому
I liked this video....kind of. Haha! Just kidding! Another great one. Thank you for sharing the varieties. I like to hear what people are growing. Keep up the good work! I hope the weather cooperates so you can finish getting everything in the ground.

When you drill your holes for your plants put a foot on each side of hole and that keeps the dirt from going under your weed barrier as much.
