***** 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 new videos every week! 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.

This post should go viral ASAP! Never before has a gardner said they needed MORE zucchini! 🤣
Right?! I have never even thought that, let alone said it.
I was thinking to myself, "jeez how much zucchini do they eat?!!!" 🤣
🤮🤢🤮
I've been saying it for years. Our area is infested with squash bugs and vine borders. I've not gotten a single zucchini to eat 3 years running now.
What? no summer squash? Love it and Zucs cooked together with tomatoes and onion and garlic. and basil ofcourse. Hope you are blessed with a bountiful supply of all things good!
After hearing about early morning tornado going through Missouri, we are praying all is well with you guys.
Kevin around tomatoes reminds me of kids going to sit on Santa's lap. I'm sure at night he's cleaning and loading his salt shaker. Probably has a special little tool he picked up to clean the little holes out on the shaker.
You are my very favorite of the homestead channels I watch. You are so informative and your viewers can learn a lot from you. I have had to give up much of my growing due to health conflicts but am able to keep a 4 by 8 foot raised bed and still enjoy my tomatoes, peppers, cukes, radishes, a few carrots, and some greens. You bring back such fond memories. Keep up the good work of helping to teach more homesteaders.
How wonderful! I could just smell and feel the dirt as you dug the hole and planted all of the goodness... The smells are heavenly ! Thank you for taking us alone ... XXxoooO
You explain things so well. I started my tomatoes and you said keeping them cool will make them more shorter and not so lanky. It's working. Love you guys.
I love watching this video of you planting tiny little seeds in giant pots. It truly fills my heart and it is proof of Miracles. No other explanation needed. Love you guys, you are appreciated more than you know.
I see another green house in your future. Lol😊
Thanks for sharing your wonderful progress! May everything grow abundantly for you. Praying that the bad weather doesn’t harm anyone there. Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦
Can’t wait to see all the great veggies, herbs and fruits 🍎 ✝️👏🏾💗💙🍎
And the 2023 garden journey begins! I wish you a successful season and look forward watching your progress. Thank you.
I loved watching this video. I stay in South Africa and we have entered Autumn. I loved being an armchair gardener and find inspiration in your plantings.
I have some South Africans living here with me. Hello from Texas! 👋🏼
I am watching from neighbouring country, Namibia.
I’m hoping that the tornadoes missed you guys and praying for those that were!
I pray your garden provides a Bountiful Harvest this Fall! Great Start!
Kevin just got really happy. Tomato. Time!!
Adding prayers for you with all the tornadoes. Be safe and have a fantastic growing season. Love watching and learning from you. 😊
Hope storms did not cause damage or injury at your house. Prayers for those impacted by storms. I just have garden plants starting to sprout, under lights in my basement. Love watching your channel.
🙏🙏🙏♥️🙂👍 I to will be planting tomatoes in buckets I use 55 gallon barrels cut 1/2 . I plan on putting 2 plants per bucket cucumber 🥒 tomatoes 🍅 and peppers 🌶 . Is and lots of beans And peas carrots onion the list goes on. Thank you so much. You guys are a blessing to all of us.
We love your shirt! Jesus will sustain us! Good job y'all! Our tomatoes are starting to grow. We started ours a few weeks ago.
Bless your family for all the hard work you put in
Have been thinking about you folks with the tornadoes. Glad to see all is growing well. Your seedlings are beautiful!! 🍅
The best tomato harvest I ever had was when I planted leggy tomato plants as Sarah described on their side!
Tomberries are really nice, pickled they make a great addition to salads. Just simple sweet and sour pickling liquor, some peppers and salt,
I love the video. Thanks for sharing how you are planting your plants and also the names of your favorite vegetables. You have a phenomenal channel. 💕💕💕
Kevin, I also love to eat fresh raw okra. Others think I’m strange, but it makes a good snack or a substitute for croutons on a salad!
Seems like with okra you either love it or hate it. Nothing in between. I love okra any way I can get it. Not able to do any gardening, live in a tiny home in an rv park with no yard space and my deck is covered so no sun for containers. A few years ago my daughter’s MIL grew okra on her small farm and I feasted. She hasn’t done any since and I miss it.
Don't be afraid to plant 3 peppers in a pot that size. They love the company. I'm successfully grown them in containers that way for 15 yrs.
I'd be keeping a salt shaker in the greenhouse, just for them tomatoes. ❤
He carries one around with him 😂
Eric probably already has one stashed. 😊
As you age, have you thought about putting the pots on risers so the bending would be minimized?
@@janislevinson1462 I was thinking that one or 2 rolling gardening stools would be great to roll around in looks like there centers are flat,sure would be great for the back
Can’t wait to see the tiny and giant tomatoes as they grow.
I just saw that more tornadoes were in your area. Praying for safety for you guys 🙏🙏
Looking forward to tomato season here in Utah. Unfortunately our April showers are bringing snowplowers. 😂🥶
When Kevin said you had 28 tomato plants in the greenhouse, I thought to myself, "That's only 8 more plants than I grow,and I only have a backyard garden. That doesn't seem like a lot for a homesteader/farmer who loves tomatoes." Then he went on to say that was only half the amount that was planted, and that made more sense. 😂 Widhing upu a productive growing season. Good luck at the farmer's market!
I’m so anxious to get my tomatoes planted too. Here’s to a fantastic growing season!
I just found your channel and I’m very excited to see how to grow vegetables and especially tomatoes in a green house. I’ve always desired to have a green house. You explain everything so well. Excited to watch your plants grow. Please do videos as they mature and start to put on their harvest. God Bless you and your growing efforts. 🙏🏻✝️❤️
Lololololol! At quick glance I thought it said TORNADO season starts today and couldn't figure out why we were celebrating that. I'll go get my glasses now. Stay safe!
So Happy to see The Greenhouse Full . Cant wait to watch it all grow.
So excited for you! I'm a bit envious, too 😊
We're at 16°F at 10am, right now, with 30 mph winds.
Although we've have some warm days that has melted some of our snow, there's still about 2 ft of snow over our garden right now. Won't be planting outside for awhile yet. Lol
I almost want to drive south just to meet you two at your local farmer's market! Here's to great weather for all the farmer's market days the rest of this year! It is so exciting to watch you both plant tomatoes and so many of the other warmer weather plants in the greenhouse! I could see the excitement in Kevin's eyes as he was describing all of the tomato varieties. 😄The enthusiasm you both share with us is infectious and so inspiring! Thank you for all of the hard work that goes into the planning, filming, editing, posting and production of all of your videos. May you and your homestead be blessed this year, and always.💟
Hi guys !
I , like you Kevin, am a big tomatoes fan !! I've tried several heirloom varieties here in western NC. Cherokee purple , hillbilly yellow. My favorite is German Johnson !! Big , beefy , and they taste like the tomatoe sandwich that I remember at Grandma's house as a kid. We love your podcast and really enjoy your t-shirts.
The Sugar Rush pepper is one of my favorites. It makes an awesome fermented hot sauce.
Fabulous job you officers two
All of your plants are Beautiful!
Progress! I'm glad you got your greenhouse planted. I'll be starting seeds in the next week. It's pretty exciting! 🙂
Plant a few tomatoes in med size pots so you can move them into your dinning room, in front of the slider. Buy extra seeds, jetstar and any hybrid, and save in mylar bags!. Thanks for sharing. God bless and protect.
Kevin, try freeze drying okra. It's wonderful like a snack food straight out of a mylar bag or jar.
I actually tried the Clemson Spineless okra in tubs last year and it actually went very well. I'm guessing the tubs I had are very close to the size of the ones you have and planted 5 or 6 in each bucket. Being over crowded kept them much smaller than normal but I was still able to get multiple harvests from them and enjoyed plenty of pickled and fried okra thought out our FL summer. Give it a try. It can't hurt. :)
I looked through the comments to find a red heart! SHOO, I was happy to see one, below. After hearing of the tornados that came through this morning, seeing the heart let me know you guys are safe! Have not heard from my sister yet, but I'm sure I will. The greenhouse looks great. I always get excited, when you guys start planting.
Love baby Bubba Okra! They stay tender longer on the plant!
Hope to make it this year. My kids in Salem Mo just got back from a Mission trip to Africa. Trying Jet Stars for the first time.
Blessings!
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy you two so much, you are real. No hype just pure plant knowledge. I hope you had a fun week off with your family. You are so blessed.
Wow, how awesome that you have that huge greenhouse to grow most of your garden. I can't wait to see it when everything gets going
Needed to see some positive green things! We are still digging out of 4 feet of snow here in Wyoming!
LOL I can see farmers market day Sarah prying tomatoe plants out of Kevins hands : D They all look so nice, my gardens are still under a bit of snow : ( but my seedlings are doing great, and just waiting ....I'm having a hard time waiting with the days getting nicer- I just want to get in the dirt...
Really happy to see y’all planting the greenhouse! I still need to put my green house together.
🌱🍅 Excited for the planting 😊
Kevin you'll never know how the crimson spineless would do in buckets if you don't try. Try one bucket you may be surprised. God bless
tomatoes season is the best season. I love tomatoes, I cant wait to have tones of tomatoes ready and eat them for dinner more days in the summer. We are growing 48 variety. over 100 plants so year I like tomatoes LOL
I know you know the Arizona weather I just got done planting 700 tomato plants of different variety 400 pepper several varieties the same or more with the zucchini and squash but those are still being planted. The weather has been weird lately I have lots more to plant so I'm hoping everything comes out great I wish you the very best in your gardening. Hopefully mother nature is kind to us all.
I decided to start seeds instead of plants this year! I have squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplant and some herbs!! They’re doing great. Almost ready to put out in garden.
Great job!
Love your videos. Really look forward to them. Very concerned about the tornadoes in MO. Please let us know you are ok.
Kevin - Blondy Okra (open-pollinated) is a nice dwarf that I have had good luck with in large pots. Perkins' Long Pod is a non-hybrid too and did well.
I am doing sugar rush peppers too. Becky at Acre homestead made salsa last year with them...cant wait
You two are the best 👍🏽 love the video’s and vibe
Sarah, what a beautiful streak you have going on. 😮😊
Thank you for this video! You saved me from not having any tomatoes this year. Normally, I buy the plants. The area that I live in is known for our tomatoes for over 100 years. And they happen to be jet star. This year I thought I would plant the seeds because there was talk of seed shortage. And you mentioned Jets stars are a hybrid which I never knew. So my beautiful plants will probably not get any fruit or if they do, they will not be jetstar. Now I must go buy plants. Thanks for saving me.
God's blessing on your garden and all who work it
Not sure where you are in Missouri...... May you, the animals, the structures, and the fence line survive today; well, tomorrow too and the days going foreward.
Zucchini does great when trained up a stake. It saves a ton of space and helps with pollination. Trim the lower leaves below the last flower as the season goes on.
Hello Sarah and Kevin, good to see another video of yours, always interesting
Hello from the U.P. 🍃
The Robin's just showed up two days ago. Still 2ft of snow on the ground here but the garden planning has begun.
The suckers will be running again soon too. Fish cakes are SO good.
Give Sarah a hug for me.
The Mrs. 🌺
All the reward will be worth all the work!
So interesting to see this, I’ve got a poly tunnel coming next week that is almost this size, not quite as wide, so I really have an idea of the space now! I haven’t started any plants yet, but will get some young ones from the market when it’s built, I will get some seeds in asap to go outdoors in a few weeks time. I’ll be growing in the ground but I’m so happy that you re-use lick buckets, so many times I see people buying yet more plastic and I wonder how many more will be purchased instead of sourcing old containers to re-use.
If you have any spare buckets I HIGHLY recommend growing melons, I tried a few varieties last year but my favourite was called Minnesota Midget. Small fruits you could hardly see under the leaves but you could smell them from several feet away, in fact my dogs sometimes got to them before me!! Which was totally ok because I grow a lot of fruit for them, but nice to have some myself 😂oh and Luffa is huge fun, I grew some outdoors but this year will go under cover as they seemed to really get going late and not all the fruits ripened
Tomatoes!!! And Peppers 🤤❤❤🎉finally right! Still cold in the northwest,I'll be watching ya'll closely while I'm still waiting to plant outside. 😊😊 So happy you posted!😊
Hopefully all that nasty weather missed you guys!
Hello Catese how are you doing today?
I am trying the Baby Bubba this year too. It will be cute!!
I grow large okra variety and babba hybrid in buckets every year. They all do well. You should just try a bucket on the side to experiment this year.
We love okra roasted in the oven. 425 10 minutes and turn over roast other side 10 minutes. We just cut in half. So good
Thanks for sharing with us Kevin and Sarah and your camera person too. The greenhouse is doing well for you folks and what a growing season you have. Sure hope you all were spared in the storm that came through Arkansas and Missouri . Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
Tom berries and any of the spoon tomato varieties seem to turn into big bushes and it felt like they took longer to ripen than other tomatoes (but once they start they won’t stop) and you might be able to grow them through the winter if you can protect them a little inside the greenhouse. Very prolific. They took over half of my garden. This year they will go into containers and not into the ground for sure. 😂
I can't wait to see just how many zucchini you get! That is a lot of work in one day.
I'm planting the adjvarski peppers this year thanks to your glowing recommendation. I've also planted a rainbow of cherry tomatoes.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your information about your garden
This is very exciting. Here we go.
Hi hoping all is well after the bad weather yesterday!!?! Plz post and let us know! Prayers all are ok and God bless!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Hoss Seeds Jambalaya okra. We planted in containers last year and they did fantastic. A bushy okra that doesn't get tall.
I really like the sugar rush peach peppers . Last year was my first time planting them and I'm excited to plant them again this year.
Great video . I'm excited for you guys. I can't wait to start using our greenhouse. It's not quite ready. Thank you for sharing your journey . God bless you and your family
I just started hardening off my first Adjvarskis today in CA. Looking forward to roasting them! Thanks, Rachel.
Watching your videos encourages me to get out there and be in my garden. I need to save this one for when I'm discouraged. Thank you! May God continue to bless you, your gardens and your viewers!
I hope you have an overflow of produce from all this plants ❤🤗🙏
The reason you “rough up” the roots on tomatoes and peppers is to tell the plant to grow out of the pot area. It definitely encourages quicker root growth.
Heard your comment about having to buy seed for one of your tomato varieties because it was a hybrid so you couldn’t save seed for next year. There is a work-around if you have a space either in your house or in your sprout house over the winter. Towards the end of the growing season, prune off the leader from a mature plant. Strip the leaves from the stem as you did when planting and either stick the stem in a glass of water or into a small container of potting soil. The stems should put out roots like they did when they were initially planted. Now all you need to do is find a place with light (grow lights will work) and where they can be kept at 50 to 60 degrees F until the next planting season. The goal is not to keep them in production, just alive. If they start to get leggy after a couple of months, repeat the procedure and re-root cuttings. The cuttings will be clones of the hybrids you started with.
Full disclosure, I live in Northern California and I can keep my tomatoes going until mid-December and start them up again outside in a cold frame the beginning of March but I have managed to keep a hybrid I purchased as a seedling from Home Depot for 3 years running. Might be a bit more challenging in your part of the country but, in theory, it may be possible.
Fuller disclosure, I got the idea from a Charles Dowding video. He grows a no-dig market garden in the south of England with first and last frost dates similar to yours.
Good luck with the homestead this year. I’ll pray the tornados leave you alone and only hit the empty spaces where they will do less damage.
You guys are so excited about gardening that you make me want to hurry up, but we have to wait till about the middle of May. We live in south central Missouri. I watch every video, and have for quite awhile, also subscribed and share. Thank you so much for them----and for no bad language. Love you guys, and count you as friends even tho we've not met.
I have 4 tomato plants cooking! I'm in Ft worth thought, so for the last day or so I have left them outside!
Fried Okra was a staple for us growing up, im pretty sure its the first thing i ate as a kid. Grilled okra with olive oil, salt & pepper is where its at tho. I actually prefer grilled now over fried and thats saying something from this southern girl lol
I think that's the only time I've ever heard anyone say they needed more zucchini! Fun video.
Blessings for a bountiful harvest this year. May God bless you with a lot of vegetables.
God bless you both ,
I grew Clemson Spineless okra in a 2 square foot grow bags last year and they did fine.
The space is totally transformed...
Love it...
