I love how you have Liberty Toddler actively participate. She's really watching everything you do. She's learning even at such a young age. So many parents could learn a lot from you.
I am a small produce farm in southwest Oregon. We grow Alot of food for the food banks & families in need. I never soak any of my seeds. I have never felt the need, as germination has not been a problem. After your experiment, I surely won't! Great video! ❤
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.
Liberty baby is working the camera. A suggestion for watering is use a reusable condiment squeeze bottle, it is perfect for in the house, especially when you have a toddler where you need to water one handed.Get the translucent ones so you can see what is in it.
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 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.
The boss says-- Mom just put them in the dirt like this. HAHAHA I just plant into the dirt, usually trees. Sometimes I use containers for onions, mint, peppers, lettuce and the like. Stay safe. Take care. Have fun. 😎 Everyone have a wonderful day.
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.
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.
Been a while since we've had a LH video (at least that's shown up on my feed), and now we get one that's got SCIENCE! How fun is that? I'd have to say that your results seem pretty conclusive! Nicely done - I'm sure we can all agree that LT was the deciding factor in these results!
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!
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.
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 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😂😂❤
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.
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!
I've soaked beans before making bean soup. Now I want bean soup.

Oh that is BRILLIANT!
Great information to know. Thank you very much. Liberty Boss was trying to take over. You and your family have a beautiful and blessed week.
Thank you! You too!

I love BOTH of your channels! You're the best!
Thank you!

Yeah, this one took a while and editing is rough with a toddler lol
Well done I always plant my seeds dry so they can fight to sprout
Thanks DOLL

Mad Scientist Liberty. Lol. Kinda wish I was home enough to take advantage of this knowledge. Just on the road too damn much.
Great experiment! Thanks for doing the hard work and sharing the results

Sooo impressive to see how you did it! 😍🥰Thank you so much!
Would love to see more of these. I’m in Las Vegas, and while I’m in a different zone, you make me think I might want to attack gardening
I’m speechless. The Liberty Twins have defied intuitive logic. 😳
This was such a useful video! Thank you!
We've been growing for years and never soak beans
Science from breaking bad? Love that
Thanks for doing the work here. I’m thinking the sellers of beans may be covering their 6 in case the beans are old and dry.
Great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I hope you start making content again! My wife just found you!
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.
FYI the Growfriend link says the promotion has ended...it's 3 pm central on 30 Jan 2024, same day as you posted this video.
Oh no, thanks for the heads up
Just updated the link!
I saw the video of you and LT canning pickles. I was wondering if you ever tried making bread and butter pickles?
Not yet!
LD is the BEST!

I only soak beans when I'm making chili.

🐝🏁 Nice video 👍
a 70% rate is style crappy.
Assuming this channel is an orphaned spinoff now. Over 3 months and no new content.
