Hey Liberty Doll!!!! Found this channel from this video. Started watching it and realized it was you! Awesome!! Thank you for the Horn worm info. We discovered today that we have them for the first time after gardening for over a decade. Look forward to binge watching all your homestead videos!!
I object. Those Worms are definitely not discussing. They're very pretty worms. They may be pest to our plants, but they're extremely pretty I.Definitely don't think they're gross.
Liberty Homestead's been missing. 😢Did they ban you because of this? Hey, I'm happy with tomatoes pickles and sunflowers. Hope you are growing anyway. In spite of the channel. YOU ARE MISSED! Tease us! Do some shorts!
Wow a different side of Liberty Doll. I don't think one can go wrong growing their own foods especially with so many genetically modified foods and the high cost of food in stores. Surprisingly here in Oregon the state is actually trying to close down small private farms that raise vegetables to sell to consumers. Seems it’s the state desire to attempt to control what we eat.
I have tomatoes and peppers growing in buckets. I planted extra seedlings in the ground right next to the bucket of the same type of plant. The ones in the buckets are outgrowing the ones in the ground.
I've watched your 2A channel for a while now and never realized you were a homesteader. I have lived off-grid in northern Idaho for the last 10 years, since retiring from the Army, and I love it
I only really started last year. I don't know if you can call it a full blown homestead as we don't have animals yet (and now are waiting because the land around us got sold and we might have to move to maintain our space), but we didn't buy any produce all summer or fall and have been eating a lot of what I put up over the winter. Planning for even more this year
They are pollinators. Just not to agriculture, but to nocturnal flowers. They do not spread disease and both the worm and the moth are prey for animals.
I grew up on a huge Czech / German family farm in Northern Illinois 8 grandparents and grand uncles /aunts, their families, in-laws with 2nd and 3rd cousins and their families. It was like a mini town, 5 square miles. We grew everything from corn, wheat, barley (for Wisc breweries) 4 different kinds of beans, carrots, apple and cherry orchards and a big dairy. WE NEVER EVER presoaked any seeds, always in the ground dry, then watered and nature took over like in the wild.
Maybe what I'm calling "clover" and what you are calling "clover" are two different things. My stuff is got to about 5 or 6 inches high. That has to be mowed.
Your suspicion is correct, you are soaking the beans either way. In a bowl (before planting) or In the ground (after planting)! Another interesting observation, germination rate. 20% for pre-soaked, 70% for direct planted. Explains the directions to put two or three in the same spot, better chance of getting full rows
I enjoy mother and daughter having fun😂 Liberty dad need to get off a PlayStation and help Liberty mom but I always enjoy seeing mother and daughter enjoying doing what they do best I hope they all turned out good and you have a nice salad thank you for the video I know you work hard doing the videos I appreciate it and I really like to watch them thank you see you on the next one and happy planting😂😂❤
NO SOAK! LOL Just plant 3 to 4 beans per hill and if all 4 pop pull the runt. 2 or 3 bean plants per hill has always been best for me over the years. 4 is crowded.
I always thought that leaving them dry was best. Like they are dormant until they get water. The soil insulates them from top hot or too cold and animals and they grow better. At least in my experience.
got to avoid shock to the tiny embryo inside the seed. Dried out but then got drowned ... cold temp to warm / hot temp ... dark to bright light. gotta think like that seed embryo! loved the video and LT is going to be a farmer!
Seeds can be funny. I over seed for beans. Mainly because I live in hot South Texas. I will also thin out underperforming plants. No, I do not soak seeds. Your experiment may be small, but the logic is there. The only thing I will replant is tomato plants. Good luck with your gardening. Persistance leads to success. Some years, the garden does better. Some, less than good. Weather mostly affects my garden. It all depends on when Africa HOT season wants to begin, early or late. Our spring time is not long.
Didn't know that was a thing, I've never soaked beans before planting. Next experiment, try a poorer quality of starting medium, then transplant into ideal conditions, and see if they explode with growth. I want to try it, but I'm going to be too busy with sorting, packing, and hopefully moving this year, to garden.
We never soaked bean seeds before planting them. Never had a problem with germination. We planted them straight into the ground and as soon as they sprouted we used cover against the midday sun until they were well established.
