Ruth Ann, your RUclips channel has many qualities that "fancy" channels do not. I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you had the courage to step out and start your channel. You have Godly wisdom, you carry the joy of the Lord in your countenance, and you are not afraid to just be yourself! I have learned far more than I ever expected, and it's not the information I have gathered, it's the transformation that is taking place in my heart through your example. 🥰
Ruthann- sending Love to you and your family from Canada 🇨🇦 DON’T change a thing about the channel. I appreciate you remaining “RuthAnn Zimmerman”…..same kitchen (which many of us would appreciate loved cupboard doors), same Love and kindness to the kids being kids……and helping all of us to not be as fearful of canning and other household-meal management!!! I look forward to your videos and send many of them to our first born child away at University!!! Thank you for all you give to us and the channel!!! ❤😊
The polished and professional ones are the ones I stay away from. I love the true down to earth real people, living real lives, unscripted. I love your videos Ruth, and miss them when your not on.
I find that a lot of the channels i watch start off as what i consider "normal, down to earth, wholesome" people, unfortunately they always change once they gain popularity and income from their channel and it becomes less relatable to me and i start to get bored with it. I would much prefer to watch videos from a channel like this, the "quality" doesn't bother me at all 😊
"The Wisdom of Ruth Ann"! As a Traditional Naturopath, I've taught about parasites for over 40 years. It is not well received by some of my clients. They can understand that their pets may need de-worming but, they don't. The fact that they let the animal "kiss" them and they sleep with them, doesn't seem to make it to their "common sense" area that they too need to do something to rid their intestines of these parasites. Black Walnut is an excellent astringent and has been used by many older cultures in the spring to "cleanse". Thank you for talking about these "old world" health habits, I appreciate you! Mary Born, ND
I just turned 60 yrs and have been an animal lover all my life. Never thought to have a parasite cleanse but now believe this could make an improvement to my overall health. Thanks for sharing.
Ruth Ann we are all here for you honey! You are such a delight to watch and learn from. You have the sweetest spirit and a breath of fresh air in this mostly fake online world. God bless you, your sweet family, and that precious grandbaby. 💗🤗
Your "production" is real, honest content, and I appreciate to see things as they are. It shows us what real life looks like unfiltered. Thank you for sharing these moments with us. Saturday mornings are my favorite because I know I have your videos to welcome the day. Congratulations to your beautiful daughter and her hubby on the arrival of their son. And to you, Elvin, and all of the new aunties and uncles. This is such a wonderful blessing from our Heavenly Father. May Winston grow in His love and care. 🙏❤️
Maybe Peter Santenello. He’s interviewed lots of Amish and Mennonite families, as well as all sorts of different people, and his videos are very open and respectable and enjoyable to watch. Love your videos! You have taught me so much already about not only homesteading but mothering with respect and kindness.
@@Ruthannzimm We agree!! That would be great!! He's interviewed Titus, a young man who lives near our farm, and some of his Amish neighbors. He is a wonderful interviewer!!
Re: interview. Please call Josh and Carolyn from Homesteading Family. I think you have been on their pantry chat before and they do a wonderful job of allowing their guest to talk without interruptions.😇
When I was a child, my grandfather wormed us every spring (with his home made worm killer). As I become older, worming my children, and myself, was my job. It was never any fun. You were very lucky to get to know your grandma.
Thank you for trusting your audience with pictures of your grand baby! I so look forward to seeing you all helping him grow into a kind and Godly man! Grandchildren fill the empty spaces of our heart that we didn’t know we had! Beautiful baby and all that hair!!!!
Ruth Ann, your content is so rich and nourishing that I didn't notice poor quality of the videos, looks and sounds great to me. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your family.❤ Congratulations on your new grandchild!
RuthAnn, we are here at your channel because of YOU & your sweet family. You are the real deal & not fake like the other so-called professional channels. I appreciate your view on hardiness zones too. Your little Winston is such a beautiful baby & it's so precious to see his parents holding him. You & your family's pictures with him are adorable too. Congratulations! Grandma Kim❤️
I'm here BECAUSE you are just living your lives! Love your content, how you edit your videos, and I just love your family. Thank you for sharing. P.S. Your explanation of the hardiness zones was perfect. My dad was a successful landscape architect (business started in 1946 and was still going at his death in 1994) and he followed your rule also!
"Unpolished" is why I love watching your videos because it's real life and thank you for sharing your life and your family with all of us. Congratulations to all of you on the safe arrival of the baby!
I love your videos for the unpolished look. It seems like I am listening to my friend instead of someone who sees me as business. Congratulations on the birth of your grandbaby❤
The doctor told our mother to worm the children when she wormed the animals. We grew up in Appalachia in the 60s and 70s. Congratulations on being grandparents!
I honestly had no idea what true love was until I became a mom. And as a result of Brandon being given to me, I rededicated my life to Christ after many years of rebellion due to my dad's tragic death.
Love your gardening and planting analysis regardless of this current US and Canadian bureaucratic rules and zones being dictated . This is more for their climate obsession ideology than using your common sense and experience over the years. This control on planting and farming across the nation and countries is an attempt to stop those living off the land and maybe offering their produce rather than using controlled food supply monopolies. We need to resist and carry on relying on Superior guidance.
My husband and I were missionaries in the Amazon of Brazil for 8 years and parasites were a part of our life. We treated ourselves and our children yearly and most definitely when we were home on furlough. I haven’t thought of doing it since we’ve been home but we live on a farm so it sounds like a great practice! Thank you!
I love being a very small part of the lives of the Zimmermans!! You have a lovely family and it is so nice to know there is a couple in this little world that is trying to raise their family to be God-fearing adults who do their best to be good people and good citizens. There is so little of this in our world today. I love watching your kiddos grow up and learn what it means to work hard and be honest!! Keep up the good work!!! AND congratulations upon the birth of your first grandchild! There are many, many wonderful times and memories ahead of all of you!! God bless each of you1!!❤
Congratulations to the new parents, grandparents and especially all the new aunts and uncles and all those people who are going to love and cherish this child!
I am comfortable with your plain content and video production. You are doing great. Thank you for taking the time to produce videos and sharing your life with us. By the way…I find you very intelligent and educated!
You are my favorite Homesteading channel. You do a wonderful job with it. I'm a 63 year old great grandma yet I don't get to see them. My heart gets full with family love by watching your children. ❣️I've learned alot from you, so see you can teach an old dog new tricks. 🥰
Hi RuthAnn and sweet family! Congratulations on becoming grandparents and the new bundle of blessing that has joined your family. I have been gardening since the 60’s and I don’t pay attention to the zones either. I was taught to plant by the signs God provides for us. I don’t believe in climate change because you are correct about a cycle that was designed by God. The reason I come to watch your channel is no fancy stuff, just real life content. I do enjoy watching the children, reminds me of my childhood, lol. Have a blessed day and a very Blessed Easter!
Totally enjoy watching your weekly podcast. I’m 70 years old live in northern TN and have always loved taking care of my family and home. You share that same love with me and yes it may not be full of high end things but it has been a blessing that the Lord has allowed me to enjoy this and watching your videos reminds me of those times with my boys.
I feel like im having a cup of coffee in your kitchen watching you do your thing. You are so easy to listen to and follow. Dont change anything, what you do is working well for those of us who do not want pretentious.
I don't understand why people are so resistant to hearing someone else's ideas if they are different from yours. Seems to me we are finding out old ideas & old remedies DO WORK. Pharmaceutical companies aren't getting rich from home remedies, so they are going to fight back. Winston is a beautiful baby. He is one lucky little boy to be born in to this loving family. God nless you & your family.❤❤❤
Ruth Ann (spelling?)! My husband and I live on your videos. You bring us peace and help us relax and sleep so many nights. Please, don't ever discount your power. Your videos are incredible. We watch them any time of day, over and over. Enjoy your time with your babies!
One of the best things about your videos besides your beautiful family is the fact you are REAL. Not fancy equipment, you’re so educational and live life like most of us! Thank you for sharing your time with us every day, I look forward to it. Congratulations to the whole family, your grandson is such a blessing to you all. I love all the pictures with him. Happy Easter 🐇🐣 🥰
Love the name of your FIRST GRANDSON, William Martin Miller, and blessings of a special birth on Palm Sunday . All the family looks so happy. I'm here for your common sense and wisdom. Not flash and fancy. Your question discussions are the best. 😊
Ruth Ann, I watch a lot of homestead channels, and yours is my favorite by far. I would not know you are not filming like other channels at all. But you win in my eyes because of all your hard work and your wonderful family.. Plus, the knowledge that you share on so many things.. ( 1000 years is one day to GOD) Gives me some to study up on.. Thank you, GOD. Bless you and your family, and congratulations, mommi. He is a precious gift from God .
What a joy to have such a beautiful addition to your family. It made my heart smile to see the proud aunts and uncles 😊. I would love to try your tincture to get our family's health back on track. Thank you for sharing all that you do!
I haven’t finished watching this yet but I just love her channel. It’s like spending time with an old family friend. I love her energy she exhibits such peace and calm. You can sure tell that God is the most important in her home.
What a wonderful blessing ,a sweet bundle straight from. Heaven .❤he is just so beautiful ! What a sweet mommy and a touched daddy. As well as uncles and aunt, ❤ Daudy. Mommi may God bless you all. I love your channel, everything about. It. Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge.
Awe, congratulations Daudy & Mommi, he’s absolutely gorgeous! I so look forward to your videos & I think your quality is just fine. It’s like listening to a friend.
Your smile and videos make my day. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You light up a troubled world with your attitude. God bless you and your family.
Your joy in announcing baby Winston brought tears to my eyes. Being a Grandma (Nonna) is a beautiful blessing to me. I cherish every moment with my sweet girl. She loves gardening with me, cooking and baking together. She is 3 and eager to learn. Congratulations Mommi and Daudy!!!
Love your real, unpolished videos! This is your real life you share with us, good, bad, mistakes, joys, love it all. You family works together with great respect for each other. You can just feel the ❤️!
Congratulations on your grandson. My husband. and I were never blessed with grandchildren but we have wonderful nieces and nephews, who've been and continue to be a great joy. Your children must be so pleased to be aunts and uncles. You all have so much to to share with this child. By theway you look lovely in the wedding pictures!
Now really where else would I go to a bit of common sense but your channel. I live in England in a city, so no connection to farming at all, think the closest I get to it is trying to grow tomatoes and maybe cucumbers. That’s the extent of my gardening prowess. I think you do an excellent job of portraying a life we don’t see here, have no experience of it. I am grateful that you allow us to see how your family life is. So keep it up and here’s to the new generation.
5 years ago I camped on my land to see how the sun rises and sets so I can set up my tiny home. I noticed the position of the sun has changed and now rises and sets differently than 5 years ago. Also, remember how the sun used to be yellow and is now white?!?
I paid close attention over the years to the sunrise/sunset to prepare for the layout of my garden plot and the location of my shade trees. Yep, there has been a noticeable change.
Our school just built an auditorium next to us so I have to track the sun by the weeks. They blocked the sun for the entire winter making my hone cold and dark and my fist garden bed gets shade by the end if July. We've been here almost 40 years and are looking to move😏
"I Better Not Get To Attached To It." 😂 I sooooo relate to that living here in North Iowa. I dont believe for one second we are a zone 5 now. No way. I also go by Zone 3 and occasional Zone 4 but if i go with a Zone 4... I know not to get attached.
Amen! I love your explanation of the zones. I myself will start when I feel it’s right.😁🙏 congratulations on becoming grandma and grandpa, aunts and uncles. ❤️
Congratulations on that new grandbaby! Such an exciting time in your family's life. You had a very informative video, as usual. I just want you to know how I look forward to you sharing your video each Saturday and I never come away disappointed. Thank you for continuing to guide us in our everyday experiences with new information to learn from. Have a great week and don't miss a minute of grandparenting time!
"Rooted" makes heartfelt documentaries... it would be an interesting beautiful family story. I hope you consider, in the future, sharing your story in video as well.
This makes so much sense as I started seeds 3 weeks ago. Some people said too early, too late, and it was so confusing. I will absolutely google the cleanse. You will be a fantastic grandmother. Thank you for your kindness to me today when I met you at the HOI. Stay blessed
OMG!!! You're CORRECT Ruthann!!! People REFUSE to recognize that if, in fact, they are eating FOOD that is grown in dirt...yep, you too, can acquire infections (parasites). People also believe that refusing to talk about death, prevents that from happening too! Wonder how that's working out for them, since it's a known FACT, we ALL die! TY for sharing this important information... LOTS of us DO want to know and appreciate you!!! TY.
Ruth Ann CONGRATS on the new grandbaby! How wonderful and exciting! I wanted to tell you that your channel is awesome. You should never apologize for anything. You have a lot of knowledge to share and how lucky you are that you had a grandma and mom who taught you all the ways to be self sufficient. There is a podcaster called The Thriving Farmer Podcast. I have sent him your information! I hope he selects you to chat with! Also, I LOVE that you dont care what the USDA or FDA says! These are just two governmental agencies on a long list of governmental agencies that are captured often times make zero sense to human or animal needs!
I love you RuthAnn! You are such an inspiration to me, with your love for the Lord, your kind nature, your wisdom, your love for all your blessings from God! Your grandson is beautiful!! I had a smile on my face with all the pictures of everyone holding him! The picture of Mommi, Doddy, and grand-baby is ever so precious!! Thank you RuthAnne for sharing this exciting and ever so special family time with us… and sharing your homesteading life with us each week!! It’s my favorite time of every week!! God Bless each and every one of the Zimmerman’s 🤗
I grew up in a small farming town near the Amish community in Clark, Missouri. Your opening video with horse and buggy always makes me homesick! I just love your content. Congratulations on the beautiful new grandbaby! Such a blessing.
Your a great Mom and this will reflect on you being a wonderful Grandma. Congratulations on the new addition. He's beautiful. Thanks for sharing another great video. Have a blessed weekend!
All media is biased against us becoming well and healthy. I very much appreciate your videos which are honest and down to earth. It's wonderful watching your family grow. Your grandson is beautiful, congratulations to the new parents and extended family.
Grandchildren bring so much joy! 😊 I love your videos, don’t put yourself down about the quality of your vlogs! They are you! I come to watch you and your family not fancy editing styles! 😊
Congratulations on such a beautiful blessing. I just adore my grand babies 🎊 ❤. I really enjoy your channel I don’t care as probably most of your followers as well about the fancy filming. We are here because we enjoy you and your content. The peace and grace that you show us shows just how strong Gods presence is in your family. When I watch your videos I feel like I’m spending time with an old family friend. Love your sister in Christ ❤
I will leave the “professional production” to the tv shows I watch too much of and choose to spend time with someone that pulls us all in and loves on us like we are family. Thanks, Ruth Ann, you are like my sister I no longer have here on earth. You serve a divine purpose here on RUclips so thanks! As a “lazy” gardener, I am also experimenting with winter sowing this year. I am excited about it and I have already transplanted a couple of plants so far into the garden. I am in NW Georgia so we are not nearly as cold as you are. I hope you have good results and I look forward to hearing about your results. Lastly, congratulations on your first grandchild!! 🎉
Used to tell folks that transplanted from the north, if they plant some plants that they used to enjoy in the north might not be making it in the south, so don't get used to it, and sure enough, they'd burn up before long with that southern heat. Same with another person that tried to grow a banana plant here one time, because we weren't far enough south for that. Some folks just can't get their heads around that though, and think if they tend it enough it'll make it, but eventually it won't.
Texas, north central area. We can get below zero, but usually in the low teens, but we can also get to 115 in August, September, with little to no rain. We do better with a fall garden, we get longer warm days and rain. I've lived here always, just a few brief times away. You need to listen to people who grew up in your area, and know it over the long haul.
Congratulations on the precious baby to all of your family. The Uncles look very happy 😊 The Lord gives us wisdom to follow in this world. I look forward to Saturday morning your videos are beautiful and helpful.❤
YOU MAKE ME SMILE,,,EVERY TIME I WATCH,,,CONGRADULASION MOMMI,,,BEING A GRANDPAREN IS SUCH A BLESSING,,,,AND I TRUST YOUR OPPINION FAR MORE THAN EVERY ALPHEBET AGENCY,,,HAVE FUN AND I PRAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOUR FAMILY! 🥰✝
Your channel is my favorite. I’ve never felt that it wasn’t polished enough. You’re so right about God’s natural weather cycles. Pumpkin seeds are also really good for eliminating parasites. Your new grandson is just adorable!
@@ArtistCreek no - I know that - the husband came from the Flds and the wife came from the regular Mormon church. The reason I mentioned them is they are so kind about how they grew up and the family members that still belong. They are very good and kind people and they seek to retain their relationships from their past and they don’t speak badly of the people . They are just the kindest people .
I am a relatively new subscriber and I just have to say - you are an inspiration and I always find myself smiling when I watch your videos! And I 💯 agree that you need a shirt that says “I will be gardening hand in hand with God.” I love that!!
Ruth, don't sell yourself short! Your channel is by far one of the most professional & beautiful channels l watch!! ❤️ & l watch a lot! What a beautiful grandson you have! 💙 my goodness! 😇 he's an angel 😇 💖 as are you. Happy Holy Week 🙏🏻 & many prayers 🙏🏻 for you and your family 💙 God bless you all. 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 Happy Easter ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve found your vídeos a few days ago… I love them!!!! You are so natural, I feel that I’m with someone I’ve known for some time ago. Technology doesn’t matter,your naturalness and human warmth matter. Thank you for sharing your happiness. Congratulations on the birth of your grandson. Sorry if I not expressed myself correctly, English is not my language. Greetings.
8:20 I agree 100% with everything you said about the zones changing. I live in Northern California and I struggle so much with trying to grow Okra and Eggplant I'm just not going to even bother doing so this year. I'll just buy it at the Farmers Market. Congratulations on your new Grandbaby.
Congratulations on your first grandchild! It's such a different love than anything! You have help me start becoming a better and more productive homesteader ❤
Your photos radiate such love! You have a beautiful family and little Winston is clearly adored. Grandchildren are so wonderful and my hope is that your daughter and son-in-law live nearby. As you well know, they don't stay little for long. My heart is so full of joy for all of you. God has richly blessed your family in so many ways. Wish I lived closer to IA because I would drive to the expo just to give you a hug. You bring joy to my life with every video and have taught me so much. Thank you so much, my sister in Christ!
Congratulations on the newest member of your family. As a Nanny of six grandchildren, i know how much of a blessing they are and the love and joy they bring to our families! ❤ Enjoy every moment...... we know how quickly these babies grow!
Ruth Ann, we're not here for production quality. We're here for the wisdom! A lot of us don't have friends or family who homestead who can help us learn the traditional ways, so we turn to you as our RUclips friend 🤗 God bless you and your growing family!
“I will be gardening hand in hand with God not with the usda.” Love it!

When we were kids twice a year my parents did “body cleanse” Deworming is what there called it. Im 70 now.
Isn't the hull the actual anti parasitic? Not the nut itself?
@@candrakreuser3741 Yes, black walnut hulls are antiparasitical. The nuts contain tannins which dry up swollen tissue and reduce inflammation.
I just turned 60 yrs and have been an animal lover all my life. Never thought to have a parasite cleanse but now believe this could make an improvement to my overall health. Thanks for sharing.
Was thinking same, I'm telling my daughter who Rescues n is expecting in November her 1st baby too 😉💭❗ Be my 10th grandbaby😅❤🙏❗
We often forget just how important gut health is.
Me too
It made realize all we hear about probiotics and probiotics ...

The reason I come to watch your channel is no fancy stuff, just real life content. I do enjoy watching the children, reminds me of my childhood, lol.
Have a blessed day and a very Blessed Easter!
I was thinking the same when I seen the title😊 God tells me what to plant n when the weather changed cooler for longer from 10yrs ago.
Martin is such a handsome fella. Being a grandma is such a blessing and so exciting.
Totally enjoy watching your weekly podcast. I’m 70 years old live in northern TN and have always loved taking care of my family and home. You share that same love with me and yes it may not be full of high end things but it has been a blessing that the Lord has allowed me to enjoy this and watching your videos reminds me of those times with my boys.
I feel like im having a cup of coffee in your kitchen watching you do your thing. You are so easy to listen to and follow. Dont change anything, what you do is working well for those of us who do not want pretentious.
I don't understand why people are so resistant to hearing someone else's ideas if they are different from yours. Seems to me we are finding out old ideas & old remedies DO WORK. Pharmaceutical companies aren't getting rich from home remedies, so they are going to fight back.
Winston is a beautiful baby. He is one lucky little boy to be born in to this loving family. God nless you & your family.❤❤❤
Ruth Ann (spelling?)! My husband and I live on your videos. You bring us peace and help us relax and sleep so many nights. Please, don't ever discount your power. Your videos are incredible. We watch them any time of day, over and over. Enjoy your time with your babies!
One of the best things about your videos besides your beautiful family is the fact you are REAL. Not fancy equipment, you’re so educational and live life like most of us! Thank you for sharing your time with us every day, I look forward to it. Congratulations to the whole family, your grandson is such a blessing to you all. I love all the pictures with him. Happy Easter 🐇🐣 🥰
Congrats on becoming grandparents! Nothing better than grand babies!
Love the name of your FIRST GRANDSON, William Martin Miller, and blessings of a special birth on Palm Sunday . All the family looks so happy. I'm here for your common sense and wisdom. Not flash and fancy. Your question discussions are the best. 😊
Their grandson's name is actually Winston Martin Miller 💙 Blessed Easter to you
Ruth Ann, I watch a lot of homestead channels, and yours is my favorite by far. I would not know you are not filming like other channels at all. But you win in my eyes because of all your hard work and your wonderful family..
Plus, the knowledge that you share on so many things.. ( 1000 years is one day to GOD)
Gives me some to study up on..
Thank you, GOD. Bless you and your family, and congratulations, mommi. He is a precious gift from God .
I, at least, am here for the content -- not production values...
What a joy to have such a beautiful addition to your family. It made my heart smile to see the proud aunts and uncles 😊.
I would love to try your tincture to get our family's health back on track. Thank you for sharing all that you do!
I haven’t finished watching this yet but I just love her channel. It’s like spending time with an old family friend. I love her energy she exhibits such peace and calm. You can sure tell that God is the most important in her home.
100% agree. I much prefer content over slick production.
What a wonderful blessing ,a sweet bundle straight from. Heaven .❤he is just so beautiful ! What a sweet mommy and a touched daddy. As well as uncles and aunt, ❤ Daudy. Mommi may God bless you all. I love your channel, everything about. It. Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge.
Awe, congratulations Daudy & Mommi, he’s absolutely gorgeous! I so look forward to your videos & I think your quality is just fine. It’s like listening to a friend.
Your smile and videos make my day. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You light up a troubled world with your attitude. God bless you and your family.
Your joy in announcing baby Winston brought tears to my eyes. Being a Grandma (Nonna) is a beautiful blessing to me. I cherish every moment with my sweet girl. She loves gardening with me, cooking and baking together. She is 3 and eager to learn. Congratulations Mommi and Daudy!!!
This is what I like about your channel and your personality. I feel your authenticity. Thank you for all your inspiring content ❤
Love your real, unpolished videos! This is your real life you share with us, good, bad, mistakes, joys, love it all. You family works together with great respect for each other. You can just feel the ❤️!
Congratulations on your grandson. My husband. and I were never blessed with grandchildren but we have wonderful nieces and nephews, who've been and continue to be a great joy. Your children must be so pleased to be aunts and uncles. You all have so much to to share with this child. By theway you look lovely in the wedding pictures!
Now really where else would I go to a bit of common sense but your channel. I live in England in a city, so no connection to farming at all, think the closest I get to it is trying to grow tomatoes and maybe cucumbers. That’s the extent of my gardening prowess. I think you do an excellent job of portraying a life we don’t see here, have no experience of it. I am grateful that you allow us to see how your family life is. So keep it up and here’s to the new generation.
🥰🥰🥰🥰
My hubby and I are Lolli and Pop Pop to our grand kids. Congratulations on the beginning of your family's next generation. He's Beautiful!
5 years ago I camped on my land to see how the sun rises and sets so I can set up my tiny home. I noticed the position of the sun has changed and now rises and sets differently than 5 years ago. Also, remember how the sun used to be yellow and is now white?!?
It's white now because we are in the Sun's maximum period. It will be yellow again
I paid close attention over the years to the sunrise/sunset to prepare for the layout of my garden plot and the location of my shade trees. Yep, there has been a noticeable change.
Our school just built an auditorium next to us so I have to track the sun by the weeks. They blocked the sun for the entire winter making my hone cold and dark and my fist garden bed gets shade by the end if July. We've been here almost 40 years and are looking to move😏
What a beautiful boy. Congrats🎉
@@KristinaBakerSmiththat’s very sad.
"I Better Not Get To Attached To It." 😂 I sooooo relate to that living here in North Iowa. I dont believe for one second we are a zone 5 now. No way. I also go by Zone 3 and occasional Zone 4 but if i go with a Zone 4... I know not to get attached.
Yes. Everyone in this area is saying this!!
Love the name Winston! Thank you for being open to answering questions! I learn so much from your videos without any fluff and production.
Amen! I love your explanation of the zones. I myself will start when I feel it’s right.😁🙏 congratulations on becoming grandma and grandpa, aunts and uncles. ❤️
Congratulations on that new grandbaby! Such an exciting time in your family's life. You had a very informative video, as usual. I just want you to know how I look forward to you sharing your video each Saturday and I never come away disappointed. Thank you for continuing to guide us in our everyday experiences with new information to learn from. Have a great week and don't miss a minute of grandparenting time!
Thank you so much!
Welcome to the world Winston! You're in safe hands. I'm sure you'll grow into a fine young man.
"Rooted" makes heartfelt documentaries... it would be an interesting beautiful family story. I hope you consider, in the future, sharing your story in video as well.
This makes so much sense as I started seeds 3 weeks ago. Some people said too early, too late, and it was so confusing. I will absolutely google the cleanse. You will be a fantastic grandmother. Thank you for your kindness to me today when I met you at the HOI. Stay blessed
Mrs. Zimmerman, I continue to learn from your wealth of knowledge. Would love to learn more about tinctures❤
Congratulations on the new arrival🌹
OMG!!! You're CORRECT Ruthann!!! People REFUSE to recognize that if, in fact, they are eating FOOD that is grown in dirt...yep, you too, can acquire infections (parasites). People also believe that refusing to talk about death, prevents that from happening too! Wonder how that's working out for them, since it's a known FACT, we ALL die! TY for sharing this important information... LOTS of us DO want to know and appreciate you!!! TY.
Ruth Ann CONGRATS on the new grandbaby! How wonderful and exciting! I wanted to tell you that your channel is awesome. You should never apologize for anything. You have a lot of knowledge to share and how lucky you are that you had a grandma and mom who taught you all the ways to be self sufficient. There is a podcaster called The Thriving Farmer Podcast. I have sent him your information! I hope he selects you to chat with! Also, I LOVE that you dont care what the USDA or FDA says! These are just two governmental agencies on a long list of governmental agencies that are captured often times make zero sense to human or animal needs!
I love you RuthAnn! You are such an inspiration to me, with your love for the Lord, your kind nature, your wisdom, your love for all your blessings from God!
Your grandson is beautiful!! I had a smile on my face with all the pictures of everyone holding him! The picture of Mommi, Doddy, and grand-baby is ever so precious!!
Thank you RuthAnne for sharing this exciting and ever so special family time with us… and sharing your homesteading life with us each week!! It’s my favorite time of every week!! God Bless each and every one of the Zimmerman’s 🤗
God bless you Jeannine, and blessed Easter
@@riverduck3 Happy Easter to you too God Bless you!
@@jeanninedelory5417 💛
I grew up in a small farming town near the Amish community in Clark, Missouri. Your opening video with horse and buggy always makes me homesick! I just love your content. Congratulations on the beautiful new grandbaby! Such a blessing.
Thanks for sharing
Your a great Mom and this will reflect on you being a wonderful Grandma. Congratulations on the new addition. He's beautiful. Thanks for sharing another great video. Have a blessed weekend!
All media is biased against us becoming well and healthy. I very much appreciate your videos which are honest and down to earth. It's wonderful watching your family grow. Your grandson is beautiful, congratulations to the new parents and extended family.
Grandchildren bring so much joy! 😊
I love your videos, don’t put yourself down about the quality of your vlogs! They are you! I come to watch you and your family not fancy editing styles! 😊
Love your videos. As you know, modern style isn't always the best. It's your content and the love of your family.
Congratulations on such a beautiful blessing. I just adore my grand babies 🎊 ❤. I really enjoy your channel I don’t care as probably most of your followers as well about the fancy filming. We are here because we enjoy you and your content. The peace and grace that you show us shows just how strong Gods presence is in your family. When I watch your videos I feel like I’m spending time with an old family friend. Love your sister in Christ ❤
So enjoy and learn from your videos. You must be the most pleasant, sweetest lady ever. What lucky children and grand children😊
I will leave the “professional production” to the tv shows I watch too much of and choose to spend time with someone that pulls us all in and loves on us like we are family. Thanks, Ruth Ann, you are like my sister I no longer have here on earth. You serve a divine purpose here on RUclips so thanks!
As a “lazy” gardener, I am also experimenting with winter sowing this year. I am excited about it and I have already transplanted a couple of plants so far into the garden. I am in NW Georgia so we are not nearly as cold as you are. I hope you have good results and I look forward to hearing about your results.
Lastly, congratulations on your first grandchild!! 🎉
Congratulations on being grandparents you’re gonna love it. I wish your family a blessed Easter.
⚘ What an eventful 2024 so far for the Zimmermans! 😁
Right!!!!
Of course your daughter is an excellent mother. She learned from YOU. As for your videos I like the format. They feel like a visit with a friend.
Used to tell folks that transplanted from the north, if they plant some plants that they used to enjoy in the north might not be making it in the south, so don't get used to it, and sure enough, they'd burn up before long with that southern heat.
Same with another person that tried to grow a banana plant here one time, because we weren't far enough south for that.
Some folks just can't get their heads around that though, and think if they tend it enough it'll make it, but eventually it won't.
Texas, north central area. We can get below zero, but usually in the low teens, but we can also get to 115 in August, September, with little to no rain. We do better with a fall garden, we get longer warm days and rain. I've lived here always, just a few brief times away. You need to listen to people who grew up in your area, and know it over the long haul.

Just because they should listen, don't mean they will.
He is so cute. Many blessings for your first grandson.
Congratulations on the precious baby to all of your family. The Uncles look very happy 😊 The Lord gives us wisdom to follow in this world. I look forward to Saturday morning your videos are beautiful and helpful.❤
Congratulations Ruthann on the arrival of your precious grandson...❤ Bless you all.
YOU MAKE ME SMILE,,,EVERY TIME I WATCH,,,CONGRADULASION MOMMI,,,BEING A GRANDPAREN IS SUCH A BLESSING,,,,AND I TRUST YOUR OPPINION FAR MORE THAN EVERY ALPHEBET AGENCY,,,HAVE FUN AND I PRAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOUR FAMILY! 🥰✝
🥰😍😍
Your channel is my favorite. I’ve never felt that it wasn’t polished enough. You’re so right about God’s natural weather cycles. Pumpkin seeds are also really good for eliminating parasites. Your new grandson is just adorable!
Growing up in polygamy is a great channel - they do not speak badly about the families or culture they came from - they are a lovely couple.
Mennonite aren't polygamist are they?
@@ArtistCreek no - I know that - the husband came from the Flds and the wife came from the regular Mormon church. The reason I mentioned them is they are so kind about how they grew up and the family members that still belong. They are very good and kind people and they seek to retain their relationships from their past and they don’t speak badly of the people . They are just the kindest people .
Ruth Ann doesn't speak badly about the family or the culture. She and Elvin simply chose to leave that faith.
No, Mennonites are definitely not polygamists! They know that it is unbiblical to have more than one wife.
I am a relatively new subscriber and I just have to say - you are an inspiration and I always find myself smiling when I watch your videos! And I 💯 agree that you need a shirt that says “I will be gardening hand in hand with God.” I love that!!
Thank you and welcome!!!
Ruth, don't sell yourself short! Your channel is by far one of the most professional & beautiful channels l watch!! ❤️ & l watch a lot! What a beautiful grandson you have! 💙 my goodness! 😇 he's an angel 😇 💖 as are you. Happy Holy Week 🙏🏻 & many prayers 🙏🏻 for you and your family 💙 God bless you all. 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 Happy Easter ❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations on the birth of baby Winston. Grandchildren are such blessing, adding so much joy to our lives.
Everyone has parasites, especially if you have animals
I’ve found your vídeos a few days ago… I love them!!!! You are so natural, I feel that I’m with someone I’ve known for some time ago. Technology doesn’t matter,your naturalness and human warmth matter. Thank you for sharing your happiness. Congratulations on the birth of your grandson. Sorry if I not expressed myself correctly, English is not my language. Greetings.
8:20 I agree 100% with everything you said about the zones changing. I live in Northern California and I struggle so much with trying to grow Okra and Eggplant I'm just not going to even bother doing so this year. I'll just buy it at the Farmers Market. Congratulations on your new Grandbaby.
Congratulations on your first grandchild! It's such a different love than anything! You have help me start becoming a better and more productive homesteader ❤
I’m totally with you on the cleanses. ❤️
Your photos radiate such love! You have a beautiful family and little Winston is clearly adored. Grandchildren are so wonderful and my hope is that your daughter and son-in-law live nearby. As you well know, they don't stay little for long. My heart is so full of joy for all of you. God has richly blessed your family in so many ways. Wish I lived closer to IA because I would drive to the expo just to give you a hug. You bring joy to my life with every video and have taught me so much. Thank you so much, my sister in Christ!
Congratulations on the new family member. Thank you for sharing with all of us, All the great things you do on your homestead.
That is what I love about your videos. Very down to earth. The best way to be.
Ruth youre a wealth of knowledge. We value your content and it seems more than professional is you ask me!
Congratulations on the newest member of your family. As a Nanny of six grandchildren, i know how much of a blessing they are and the love and joy they bring to our families! ❤ Enjoy every moment...... we know how quickly these babies grow!
Ruth Ann, we're not here for production quality. We're here for the wisdom! A lot of us don't have friends or family who homestead who can help us learn the traditional ways, so we turn to you as our RUclips friend 🤗 God bless you and your growing family!
Congratulations on the birth of your darling grandson
