***** 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.

@christineortmann359 Год назад

Awesome

@joanrichter4718 Год назад

So I’m a beginner gardener. Were those slips? Or did you plant the whole potato? I saw so many DIFFERENT methods I got very confused. So I just planted the whole potato halfway in the ground like one video suggested. I do have lots of leaves that have come up, do I need to separate those at this point and plant each slip into the ground? Thank you so much if someone could answer

Kevin may I suggest you drill four holes in the top of your citrus tree 🌳 pots tie a rope with a short 8" piece of old garden hose for a grip spot. 😀 That way you don't have to bend so far down to lift & carry the buckets in and out of the house. Be well, blessings.

My husband and I watched your latest video on the TV last week but we had to get to work and never watched the update on the citrus trees. I finally just watched now! I'm really glad the key limes are coming. I bet you're right about the tangerines producing in the house. When you pulled the pallet up to the sliding door I thought I'd get a sneak peak at the new house! I love how Sarah was grinning ear to ear when Kevin told us we'd have to wait a little longer. We love you guys. Maybe soon we will see the new house.

@nancynolton6079 Год назад

I grew sweet potatoes in a tub like yours outside and got a great haul... the vines actually went through the bottom of the pot and into the ground and grew more potatoes there! I used a livestock panel behind the pot and trained the vines onto the panel held up by t-bars to keep the vines from going everywhere - worked perfectly but did need to remember to water as my soaker hose watering system wasn't available to the sweet potatoes. So easy to just dump the pot out on a tarp and harvest the sweet potatoes got some huge ones weighing several pounds! My vines even flowered.

I just have to tell you just how much I enjoy the two of you. I've been watching other homesteaders they are ok but you are all around farmers almost like my grandparents you have a handle on the whole of small farming scope. I've been envious watching you have the life I've dreamed of most of my life and was denied by life. I'm now getting up there age wise and I'm able to live a much smaller scale but still kicking it out as health and age allow. I can't wait for Wednesdays to join you I am still learning and that is a blessing. THANK YOU so much for sharing your day with me. God Bless and keep you in all you are. Love you guys.

@oldladyfarmer7211 Год назад

How nice to have such a wonderful greenhouse! It's like having 2 spring seasons. You don't have to compost your rabbit manure. You can put it right onto your soil whether it's outside or in the greenhouse. Any pelletized manure won't burn your plants and doesn't need to be composted. So if you can get goat, sheep, alpaca, llama, deer etc. you can use that too besides the rabbit manure. Love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. P.S. the smaller veggies are usually the best. Small sweet potatoes roast really well. ;)

I'm jealous of the cherry tomatoes...my mouth is watering. I'm hoping to have a small greenhouse in place by spring. I noticed that you grew your sweet potatoes under shade cloth the last couple of years. The key to big sweet potatoes is full sun. I think if you moved the sweet potato tubs out of the greenhouse next year, you would be surprised at the difference. Thanks for all the great videos. Looking forward to seeing the house completed.

@lilig4396 Год назад

Having that auger bit on the drill is amazing BUT for some reason, there is no better feeling than my hands in that soil

@forrestgump9576 Год назад

A greenhouse is a blessing indeed to be able to grow year round! It was 15° here in central Minnesota this morning. Cleared out the garden last week, except for some celery, which will be dehydrated. For a first year with a full size garden, it was definitely hard work, but the harvest was truly blessed! The glow on your face Sarah in regards to your new house is unmistakable. So happy for you! Take care care and God bless!

Hi Sarah and Kevin. That size sweet potato are perfect for me to roast in the oven or in the fire. I spent a few years in Malaya as a child between the ages of 7-10 and I spent more time with the malayan communities in the Kampongs than I did at home at that's where I learnt that the smaller sizes are the sweetest and not as mealy or stringy. They always ate the purple/maroon skinned type with white flesh inside. I don't eat any other kind to be honest. These have been my favourites since then and now I am 65 going on 66 in Dec and I still love them. Michelle

@sharonhaas8503 Год назад

Love seeing you plant your winter lettuce and other veggies in the greenhouse. Are there any types of flowers you can grow during the winter for a little color? Absolutely love your citrus trees. Growing up in Sacramento, gave our family plenty of citrus to eat right our garden. Crossing my fingers and wishing you many limes for a pie! Stay nice and warm in your new home in the coming nights. Take care and please stay safe as the seasons change. God bless and protect you!

Another way to do the shade cloth is to have it on rolls inside the greenhouse at the top of the wall. If you unroll it (or have machinery do the job when the sun is too bright) on top of wires, they hold it up high and out of the way and out of the weather and wind. So you can roll or unroll your shade cloth from indoors even if it is raining and have less of a chore to deploy or take back from the roof top. All it takes is study support wires from the top of one wall to the top of another wall.

I moved my lime trees in the garage too. I got glass garage doors to help the growing process of garden plants. I’m so excited. After several attempts to get and build a small greenhouse last spring, l finally have the builders here. The concrete truck broke down, yep! So hopefully Monday it will be poured. I’m making sure it’s anchored in concrete. We have had tornadoes here in the past so l don’t want to lose it to high winds.🙏 My loquat didn’t make it in the mail. The leaves looked bad and it was my most expensive tree. It didn’t get mailed right away or got lost, not sure but it apparently froze. I will not make the mistake of not protecting them for mailing again. My sweet potatoes were about the same size. I had one pot. Hopefully this spring l will have more success getting a garden in. My chickens give me 6-10 eggs daily so far. The winds last week have me re-doing their tarp. I had so many plans that couldn’t be done, waiting for fencing, waiting for shed, waiting for greenhouse. Waiting for hydrant. It’s always an adventure here. For being a new widow, my garden and chickens and pets are helping me get up and get going. Thank you for your videos. You both look so healthy! I watched an old video and you both look younger! Healthy living! I need those greenhouse tips 👍
