***** 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.

I am having a chuckle guys,you are experiencing scorching hot days and I am freezing here in Australia,its mid winter here and soooo cold.Your lovely videos warm my heart.
We’re having severe cold, wet, windy weather here in Melbourne today. The “wet” cold goes straight into the bones.
@@daintytech its the same in Mt Gambier
Same in Canbrrrra 🥶 👋🏼
Yep guys dam cold here in Adelaide
Tassie is still its usual cold self.
Your hard work has paid off. Thanks for sharing the Spirit Of your harvests.! I am 74 and have a lot of weeds this year and heart& lung problems. But I dream every night of cleaningup this jungle of mine. Still enough showing thru to sustain me thru Winter. God Bless your table throughout the years. tms poet Ohio 8/9/22
Your careful, thoughtful planning and hard work is paying off! Terrific job. I love watching your progress. Beautiful marigolds.
Here in Hutchinson Kansas we are fighting the heat but with God's help he shall provide what's needed to keep us going.God bless you both
You two are good role models. Your plants are beautiful. Alot of hard work, dedication and love seen there.
The blessing of God. Farmers are the cornerstone of nutrition in every community. Wishing you a bountiful crop.
Yes please! My husband and I have just started our homestead journey and this give away is so generous and amazing! Good luck to all.
Great garden, of course! I wanted to tell you that I am using your method of gardening through weed barrier for the first time this year. At 71 years old, I have learned a lot of new things regarding gardening as a result. I planted my sweet corn in holes in the fabric. It has worked great! Plants are about 10-12 inches apart in staggered rows. The ears are beginning to fill out and I am getting anxious to enjoy some Peaches and Cream sweet corn! God bless you all!
The garden looks great. I'd love to see a seed saving video, how to harvest the seeds and prep them for storage. I've dabbled a little and would like to see hoe it's done properly.
Everything is looking great even in the heat.
I always plant marigolds in my vegetable garden. Last year. I let several of them just go to seed and surprise surprise. I had a whole bunch of marigolds just come up again this year without me having to plant a darn thing. I love companion plants. I always plant lots of radishes in my vegetable garden around my cucumbers and I never ever have cucumber beetles.
My wife and enjoy your channel, we live in NE Arkansas and being in our 70's we understand the challenges of gardening. We're presently finding our way out of Covid, it was good to see you are bouncing back. My wife has a small greenhouse and we're toying with a larger one and appreciate the insight you are providing with yours. Our outside garden has been a flop this last 2 years, maybe if we develop the courage that will change.
Your marigold flowers dehydrated make a wonderful natural dye which women who work with wool love.
Mr. Stripey tomatoes are Amazing, Beautiful Marbling color, and oh so Flavorful ... They just melt in your mouth, can't wait to see when they ripen for you.
Guys it's so hot and humid her in Prattville, ala.that our garden is scorching, we only have county water and I'm barely keeping some veggies alive but so thankful for what we have harvested, God bless you guys
Tomatoes split because they get too much water. Space your watering on them and see if that prevents splitting. It worked for me!
Beautiful garden and greenhouse, now to preserve all that delicious food. God's blessings
I’ve seen lots of ladybugs in our garden too. Your garden is beautiful.
Water, water, more water.... Keeping all the Lavender strong at Honey Creek Farm...
Save some of the seeds from this year's watermelons. The cross from both might be a fantastic variety. Worth a try. Maybe plant a couple next year, far away from everything else. If you don't like them, I'm sure the pigs would enjoy them.
I was going to mention the same. I ALWAYS harvest possibly cross-polinated seeds to try the next year and if we don't like it, our Pig, chickens and ducks will eat it! 😁
Despite the SCORCHING TEMPS, our FOOD is Flourishing. Full Garden and Greenhouse Tour. Best video. I support your video. Watched the video on July 24, 2022 very like. Thank you SO MUCH
Bush beefsteak tomatoes have been my dad's favorite for 50 years. He is 92 yrs old. I always try to find the seed packets of these. They haven't been available every year where I live in Saskatchewan Canada. They are definitely some of the best tomaotoes
I envy your garden! Lol With the drought at the beginning of the year, my poor garden has encountered a setback... Those marigolds are gorgeous and your chickens will LOVE them! They can help deter bugs from nesting boxes and they'll help egg yolks become darker, as well as the benefits to the whole chicken. I absolutely enjoy watching your videos. 💖 Thank you for sharing with the world!
Your garden looks fantastic. The tomatoes are gorgeous. So happy you’re going to have a good harvest despite this hot weather.
Good Sunday evenin' everyone. I'm happy to report that things are flourishing here as well - although just a little too much rain. I took a ride into town a little earlier to pick up some supplies at the Co-op. Looking around I saw a lot of people who have food delivered by those fancy online companies that deliver to their doorsteps had soggy wet carboard boxes on those doorsteps - which I consider a benefit to us farmers and gardeners. Gotta get out there early tomorrow to set up the vegetable and produce stand out in front of the farm.
So glad things are successful & flourishing. Congrats on your hard work. Hope those silkies. Chicks are thriving. Really enjoy your walks through your gardens.
This is just woooow
Lovely, love garden and greenhouse produce. So glad everything is still surviving and thriving.
The Large Red Cherry vine looks just like my volunteer cherries that I got from my sons boy scout leader 25 years ago that were from his wife’s aunt. My husband tilled my garden too deep when I was sick 3 years ago and they never came back. On ground they’ll get up to 10-12 feet long (I’d just throw them into a pile in my small garden) with clusters of 8+ tomatoes, quarter to old 1/2 dollar size, meaty but can squirt if bitten into, tastes just like a regular larger tomato. Throw a few out in a spot, let them rot. Mix into soil. Check your spot May through June when they come up again.
Your garden makes me happy! Kevin, when you bit into that tomato and it crunched…I drooled! lol Satsumas are delicious!
Everything looks great, as usual!
Wow. Fantastic plants despite such oppressive weather. Ty for sharing.
I love how your row of marigolds look. I had planned on doing the same but we ran out of space 🤣 I ended up planting 2 marigolds at the beginning and end of every row in my garden. I just love the pops of colour they bring! We are trying the woven weed fabric for the first time this year and oh my! How it has helped! Absolutely obsessed!
I would think the marigolds being spaced out should help more with keeping rodents & rabbits out of the garden.
And you can eat marigolds. Win win all the way around!
I planted marigolds as a teenager from seed and they grew very large. I was so pleased didn't really know what I was doing then. But they looked very nice. Yours are refreshing & reminds of that success. 👍 They are a classic summer decor. 👍
Where do you buy it from?
@@lindaseikkula2296 Amazon :)
Have you tried adding the leaves from your pepper plants to your salads???
They are absolutely delicious!!! Full of nutrition and they retain some flavor of the pepper as well! It's one of the reasons I love growing pepper plants, it gives me an extra topping for burgers, an addition for salads or sandwiches, in smoothies, add to soups, dry for season blends, the possibilities are unlimited.
Really?...never knew that you can eat pepper plant leaves. Does that include all pepper plants or just certain one? I have bell peppers and banana peppers. Thank you.
My cheeks are so busy smiling watching your success garden tour today! Every plant is just outstanding! I am so proud of your family! God Bless You all!I was waiting for you to pull out your salt shaker! My mouth is watering!
I am so happy for you folks! A successful garden is so satisfying. Thank you for sharing!
Hey guys! Canada Crookneck is a Cucurbita moschata and will not cross with your spaghetti squash. Spaghetti squash on the other hand is C. pepo, which could have crossed with your zucchini when you still had it. No reason not to save seeds from the Canada Crookneck, even if you don’t need them you can give them to all your friends or something.
Feed those chickens some of the marigold blossoms to beef up the golden color of the yolks. We also eat the flower petals in our salads. We enjoy your show regularly and even watch some multiple times.
And thanks for your witness for the Lord.
Our in ground garden we ended up having to plant 2-3 times. Third time is a charm they say! Lol. Its doing great, just a bit behind. My raised bed gardens are totally burning up, even with watering every other day. 100+ temps for 2+ weeks at a time is hard to compete with.
I like your positive attitude, there is so much doom and gloom on RUclips right now
The hot weather is a fact of life and I admire the way you are dealing with it
I was told over watering causes tomato’s to split. It seams to happen to mine after a big soaking rain when I have always given them constant water. Try watering less to that type of tomato see if that fixes it.
Happy to see you had luck. Here in central Texas we have had no rain for 40 days and temps average 104 to 110. Good to see yawl, God Bless
Cold wet spring and early summer here on the coast. Late planting for sure. On another note we have a nursery that grows lemons and olives and avocado trees. In the fall he covers them with bug cloth ( white mesh that’s used to keep broccoli safe from moths)and puts in Christmas lights that keep it temperate through the cold. He’s been successful so far. We get some times of 10-15 Fahrenheit.
Pretty much every tomato variety we grow down here splits, especially some rough years. The ones we save seeds from are those plants who healed their splits fast, didn't split as deep, or just produced so many big tomatoes, so fast, that cutting out the deep, yet healed splits wasn't an issue. Each year they handle our wild weather better than they overall did before. We mostly prefer black tomatoes, and similar, so hybrids were somewhat out of the question anyway.
Funny how we are basically having a non-seed saving year here too, at least for the hordes of tomatoes and peppers. All the things, planted together, including a ton of pepper volunteers. The legume families, and cucurbits are still on their no-cross breeding rotation for us. Not enough seeds from enough individuals in these particular varieties yet.
I did grow Juliet one year at a different place, way up north, in Kentucky Zone 6b. They were everything you say. :) Our rooster ran away with a perfectly ripe Juliet tomato, and from that time on we found tomatoes sprouting up all over, every year. Most got replanted near the chicken coop, I mean these were the rooster's planting efforts after all. lol
Some were very much like the original Juliet, in looks, flavor, and behavior. Rarely had splits up there though, of any variety, but it also got cool at night, and was cool in the early mornings, so watering was easy. Those Juliet's and some of their mini-me offspring were pumping out tomatoes, on perfectly healthy plants, even after the first few light frosts.
We freeze dried a lot of onions last year. My wife loves using the onions that are preserved this way. We still have onions left from last year's crop.
My garden has more bees and ladybugs than any prior year. Your garden is excellent. I love your greenhouse.
Your garden is absolutely beautiful ! Thank you so much for the video. God Bless
Just love watching your progress. Blessings, G
Seed Saver's Waspachi Peach is just a smidge bigger than a cherry, and it's my favorite snacker. So sweet, and it's a yellow that I've never had trouble with splitting.
105° - 110° in Central Texas
Ya know, I plant as many marigolds and calendula not just for beauty and pest control but I make salves. The salve is amazing and heals way better than any prescriptions can. Save the dead heads to dry well and make salve. They’ll go well at farmers market 👍
thank God for the rain today!!
I was waiting for Kevin’s salt shaker to come out while he was picking the Juliette tomatoes, and he didn’t disappoint, LOL, too funny
I live in East Texas. The drought is taking a toll on farmers and those with a harden. We are severe watering restrictions. There is no relief in sight. Those who have a well are doing better. Please pray for us as we experience this natural disater.
You truly have green thumbs. Lol!! So happy for you and all your harvests.
Looks super that cover sure works for stopping weeds. Worth what ever it costs. For years I grew gardens and tried everything I could to stop them plastic newspapers weed killers.
One year I got A truck load of manure chopped it into the soil with my troy built in that manure they're was seeds I guess from crook neck squash well I had a bumper crop of those and the white flat round squash also. The crook neck made great pumpkin pies .
I learn so much watching you.
TY
Beautiful marigolds ... I like your method of cutting back for more blooms!
Wow!! Everything is looking so delicious 😋 I'm so happy for you. I hope Sarah does the Every bit counts challenge again this year and videos everything like last year ❤️ I miss seeing Sarah in the kitchen preserving the harvest. Just this morning I checked your weather and am SHOCKED at how terribly hot it is going to be for you next week 🥵 Temperatures into the 100's 😩 Stay safe and be careful. I bet the pigs are living in their wallows this summer.
Thanks for sharing such a 👍 video
God bless you all
P.S. Praying for Kevin's father 🙏
Beautiful garden all your hard work has paid off
💚 Everything is looking really great 💚
God is good, he will always provide for his children
Glad your Gardens are doing so well 👩🌾Enjoying Videos
102 real temp today in our part of Missouri. Great looking garden!
We used to tie them in bunches of five or six and hang from the loft floor joists. They last until spring. This is when i used to live near republic missouri. 😀
What a beautiful garden outside and in the greenhouse the tomatoes are gorgeous! You both are blessed! It is terribly hot and humid where i live in Pennsylvania about 40 miles from Philadelphia! And dry!
Good morning 🙏😊 I love seeing your garden! We have experimented with potatoes this year in “grow bags”. I am hoping to get at least a few bushel of potatoes. Our broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower did well and we even had purple cauliflower! Lol (I pickled the cauliflower), we now are harvesting green beans and planted more green beans where the broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower was. I too love harvest season. Our tomato plants are full of tomatoes but none are ripe yet. (They will all ripen at the same time!!)
Love you guys and thanks for sharing such great information. And Kevin, my grandfather’s favorite tomato was Mr Stripey! He thought they were the best for a BLT.
Have a blessed day 🙏😊
When I was growing up on a farm in Missouri, my Dad used to raise field corn all the time. There is a week or two when field corn is soft enough to eat. I grew up eating field corn as sweet corn. Mom would just add a tablespoon of sugar to the water and it tasted fine.
I grew up eating field corn too, it was a fun middle of the night with duffle bags picking corn as fast as we could family event. Of course I realize now we were stealing some farmers corn, but not having enough food can push parents to do that. I doubt the farmer with acres of corn missed what we took but that 50-75 ears of corn was a big deal for us, we ate it fresh for days and froze the rest. Even getting it ready to freeze was a fun family event. It is all so crazy looking back at it now with clarity at some of the best memories I had with my family as a child.
@@MA-mh1vs I think we've all done a little midnight garden raiding. It's part of being a country kid. Have you ever been shot at? I was once. LOL.
@@bubblehed738 No. My dad must have been careful enough and made us work fast. It is hard to imagine anyone seeing us so far out, in the fields. I am not sure we even used flashlights, just the light of the moon.
What a great tour of your gardens, thanks for sharing with all of us!
Your edamame looks amazing! Deer have gotten into my garden and eaten the leaves off mine...twice. They've also eaten the leaves off my strawberries, several rows of beans, topped a few tomato plants, leaves off cherry trees, and just snapped our peach tree off when getting to the fruit.
Your garden looks wonderful you guys 🍅🌽🍉🥒🥔🌶🧅🥕🥬💐🚜🚜 Take care Kevin, Sarah & the gals 👍🏻✌🏻
Thank you for sharing your life with us!❤🤗
A beautiful bounty. My tomatoes and basil are thriving.
I really enjoyed your garden tour. Your tomatoes reminded me of childhood memories of eating tomato bunwiches morning noon and night. LOL My mom made the best buns in the whole world and a thick slice of a big slicer and mayo, salt and pepper made the best sandwiches. Neighbour kids came for them too. The tomatoes never seemed to run out and we canned an unending number of jars of them as well. Those were the days!
You can DEFINITELY seed save this year from your Canada Crookneck plants! They are in the squash family “Cucurbita Moschata,” the same as butternut squash & some others. Spaghetti squash is a C. Pepo, the same as summer squash like zucchini and summer yellow squash, etc. you can save seeds from 4 squash families, only one from each, unless you separate varieties by at least 1/2 mile, or hand pollinate. Canada Crookneck is daily rare but is making a comeback, so go for it unless you’re growing butternut nearby.
“I want more zucchini”…..be careful what you wish for! Lovely tour. Best wishes from Canada.
The celery is exciting. Everything looks so good!
Yellow cherry tomatoes! Last year I grew Sungold because it seems like so many people rave about them. Almost all of them split in our hot humid North Carolina weather. This year I'm growing Esterina. It's a hybrid. So far not one has split. Very sweet too.
I asked my grandfather why your tomatoes were splitting. He says it’s when the plant gets too much water and the fruit outpaces to growth of the skin this can usually occur after you get some heavy rain but since you’re in the greenhouse they might be getting a little too much water this is why tomatoes split. According to my grandfather.
That's correct. And people do not need to throw away tomatoes just because they have split. I rarely throw my split tomatoes out. If they start to get bugs in the crack, I just cut out those areas.
@@karen-hillshomestead yes I'm learning as I go I'm a man in my 40s and I've spent most of my life in major cities around the world but I find myself more and more not wanting to live in them. It's strange to me how I know very little about the countryside and yet I want to have a little farm. Raising a few little animals have a couple of geothermal greenhouses because I live in Canada now. It would be good too increase the growing season and maybe grow fruits and vegetables that wouldn't traditionally grow here. So watching these RUclips channels I'm learning so much plus I asked my grandfather still who used to grow a lot in his garden back in Ireland. Ireland has a real nice mild climate with lots of rain great fishing too God I miss catching seafood LOL
I agree with the mulch suggestion. CONSISTENT moisture is the key. Also, I believe that yellow tomatoes split more because of their thinner skin.
I love how prolific the Sunset Giant marigolds are, if I can presume, I purchased some at a nursery a few years ago.
I got 2 bean plants this year cold, wet and slugs. really glad I don't have to live off what I can grow! but I so enjoy gardening
Your gardens are just wonderful as always. You both are very hard worker’s and sure enjoy your channel. My garden is doing very good and I’m so happy about that. The squash seeds I received from you are producing quite well. Thank You. Well keep up the good work and stay well. God Bless! Chuck!
It all looks great! I'm still waiting for my first tomato to ripen. I've been harvesting plenty of other stuff. Freezing, dehydrating and on to canning. God bless!
Thanks for covering the citrus trees.
I love marigolds also. I plant them for beauty & pest protection. And they come up from seed every year. Nice to get free plants. Lorraine
Bees only collect pollen from 1 type of flower per trip. having flowers near your garden might lower the number of pollinators on your food plants.
This row probably wasn't a huge effect but it is something you might like to know.
Beautiful garden..your garden work and planning is paying off
Your are like my husband he always has his salt stacker I’ve have learned a few things from you all thank for share what you’ve learn
Your garden is fabulous!!! So so beautiful!!
Oh Wow..... I'd be making Tomato Sandwiches with those beefsteak. Beautiful!
I absolutely love your garden. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
We are having quite the drought here in Missouri. Usually we have just bouts of getting very little rain over the year so the water levels drop but the grass and trees do ok. This year we got tons of rain in the spring and then in May it just stopped and we have had 1 day that gave 1in since then. Our water level at the lake is still good but the grass is brown and crunchy and my trees are now dropping leaves. Keeping the garden alive during this is requiring a lot of water every day, we have even increased the amount of water just to get the produce to grow. That made a big difference, lots of produce growth in just a few days of these soaks we are doing. I am going to have to invest in a drip system before next years planting.
What type you had in mind for drip?
@@imabina7425 I was looking at these micro drip irrigation kits on amazon. They are cheap and have everything needed and there are 50 and 100ft kits. I think it would at least be a good beginner set up.
Love Armenian cucumbers, they really hold up nice in the summer salad. What a great garden.
Thank u for your info! Would u consider doing a vid on the process of adding pigs to the homestead. How to purchase, how to sell, how to have them processed if u don’t want to do it yourself. How to do it and make a profit. This would b so helpful.. sending positive thoughts and prayers!! FYI I’m a 61 yr old recently widowed. I need to rethink everything about survival! I need help from my brothers and sisters like never before.
I hope it continues that way for you, too!
Lots of goodies in your garden! I'm so glad its doing so well to. We are in central MO, and its the same way for us. Love that you always have that salt shaker ready 😉 Looking forward to seeing a bountiful harvest. God Bless y'all 😊
I love your channel
God bless your farm and family.
Y 'all make me feel so late to the party. But I keep reminding myself how many days until our first frost and I know things will explode here soon enough.
Here in San Antonio my tomatoes have bloomed profusely but not set on with fruit. Apparently the early and intense heat is to blame. May and June were the hottest on record. At least I can enjoy seeing y’all’s bountiful harvest!
we grew 40 acres of beans every year in the 1970s/80s.
The best variety was called Redlands Greenleaf. stringless flat and 10 inches long
Thanks for that! I'll be looking into that, I used to grow roma ll but can't get seeds here in georgia. Preciate'cha from "DOWN UNDER"!
