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’m a 62 year old caretaker of my husband who is a stroke victim for 11 years now. I’m home all the time and even though I have arthritis in my legs and feet, I so much enjoy getting outside and observing the growth and trying things I’ve watched others share on You Tube. What a blessing y’all have been to so many of us.

I live on GA/SC border outside of Augusta GA. We've already had a dozen or so 100+ degree days. I live in a townhouse and most of my plants are in containers. I was noticing sunburns on many of my citrus trees, tomatoes, and blackberries. I convinced my family to help make a structure to put up a 20% shade cloth to help let as much sun in as was needed for the full sun plants. Since then (last 2 weeks) my plants and THRIVED. Its amazing how much of a small difference can make plants happy or suffer. Thank you for all the tips over the years.

For the sunburns, 50/50 ACV with the mother and cold water compresses, like with flour sack tea towels. It pulls the heat and helps to prevent blistering. I am a red head and just have to think about the sun to burn, and this has been my go to for 15 years or so, since I developed an allergy to aloe because I used it so much. Just make sure to partially ring out the tea towel so you dont make a puddle, and be prepared to smell like a pickle for a while... The first burn of the season always hurts the worst, praying for you, God Bless!!

I am glad you brought up the soy bean info regarding gmo. There is a lot of soy grown in my area and all the fields are marked with road facing signs which show the licence # etc. Same with corn. I got really interested in studying plants high in oestrogen when I was asked to avoid food containing it, especially soy, because my oncologist noted that the type of tumours I had developed were known to be oestrogen sensitive. There is NO evidence that plants high in oestrogen CAUSE cancers, just that certain types of cancer thrive when they have access to oestrogen.

@colliecoform4854 2 жыл бұрын

I find the bigger issue is pumping our children, sons and daughters with estrogen. It is an ingredient in so many products it is almost impossible to avoid completely but worth trying. I also have IBS and soy is one of the things that really irritates my stomach. I have also been told that if you have a lactose intolerance you more than likely also have a soy intolerance.

@grannyontheplane 2 жыл бұрын

@@colliecoform4854 Yes if you are a label checker in the supermarket it is in just about EVERYTHING! And under so many different names that people might not realise it is soy- I would not have known Glycine Max was soy, for example. Soy and other excellent sources of protein should not be eliminated from diets unless you have underlying issues that could be addressed by avoidance. We all need protein. Also, most intolerances come and go, depending on exposure, so it is good to check tolerances occasionally.

I used to work in a big nursery/ greenhouse complex. I was taught this very early on. I saw it for myself with petunias-we had a whole table full of petunia flats flip over in a storm. My boss had me take scissors and trim them flat. In less than 2 weeks, those were our most beautiful flats of flowers. So many people were told that pinching off that first bloom on Salvia and snap dragons and marigolds and so many others would make for a bigger plant and more flowers sooner than leaving them be. There are a few plants that do not need to be pinched back but they are really few. Many veggies benefit from pinching back like peppers and eggplants. On the weeding front, mr Danny at deep south Homestead hurt his knee and bought a little fat wheeled rolling seat! I watched him using it and knew I had to have one. My family bought me one for mothers day and it is wonderful in the garden for weeding I did have to put cushion on mine but its wonderful for just scooting down the row weeding and working. But my tomatoes are no way big as yours. They are just starting to really perk up and grow. Bt is my go to for caterpillars too! Lovely video.

Went to order the irrigation system from your Amazon list and the pressure regulated emitters are not available. Ordered regular ones just so I can get the system put in.

Hi, I’m in the middle to end of the season for my tomatoes. I have not seen one horn worm or any other bug on my tomatoes! What a wonderful season it has been!

You have so many comments, but I also wanted to thank you for bringing us another and useful gardening video. I prayed over my little garden today. I've been worried about the heat ( Upstate S. C.) and the effects it would have on the tomato blossoms; thank you for lessening my anxiety. I will trim my marigolds tomorrow; I'm hoping they will bush out and bloom. Bless you and Kevin. Thank you so much Lee

I wear gloves when looking for the hornworms. Then I put them in an old water bottle and just let them die inside it, no water. Take a bath with some vinegar in the water. It will remove the burning. We have 3 20 foot rows of the marketmore's. Your garden is looking AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing. God bless.

For hornworms buy a black light and go out when dark and they will glow it’s pretty neat! I wear gloves and pick them off and step on them it’s very satisfying, lol!

Sarah, I watch all your videos. I love all your dedication and knowledge. Looking for another Rabbit video in your series. It was nice to watch you work and listen while I worked. Kind of like having a friend there with me to do my chores. Ha Ha! Don't sweat the stretch pants you look amazing!

amazing that the weeds will make themselves an issue even through the little hole you burned into the fabric. My spaghetti squash went absolutely crazy, all from seeds taken from a store-bought squash. I planted two plants and got over 15 melons!! Needless to say, I will be saving more seeds from them.

If you switch to tomato clips, make sure to get the black colored ones. The clear/white are harder to open and reuse. Once you buy 1000 on Amazon they'll last years and you can reuse them over and over.

I used to use aloe for sunburn till I tried straight lavender essential oil ( I use and recommend YL). The lavender solution was discovered when I burned my finger on the wood stove a few years ago and consulted my reference book. What a wonderful solution it has been, takes the burn out and no blisters and no more sunburn or any burn pain.

Sarah sorry you sunburned your legs, no worries your pant choice looked comfortable, they were fine. Be well, blessings.

@salobrena6442 2 жыл бұрын

put vinegar on a soft cloth and pat your legs down.. vinegar takes away the sting from any burn.. After a severe sunburn in Acapulco back in 85, a waiter told me that that was the best thing to use and it's almost instant.. works like a charm.

Sarah, we have watched you guys for years. This video made me cry, and the reason was joyous. The love and learning and squashed caterpillar was just special! Special because of all our years of gardening, never have we had the forethought to pray over it....I promise I will be praying over our blessings even down to a semi green thumb that I know was God given. I'm so greatful to you guys! Take care and God Bless 🙌

Tomato clips - when you rebuy the type you described, look for them in black rather than white/clear. The black ones are naturally UV resistant due to the type of plastic used to make them, the white ones are not. The white may be treated to be UV resistant, but you can never really tell until they fall apart. The same applies to zip ties. My black clips are on their 4th year, the clear ones are long gone.

If you check your tomatoes at night with a black light the caterpillars fluoresces bright green. Also the tomato horn worm are baby hummingbird moths or Spinx moth. If I find them I figure I have enough tomatoe plants to share a few branches.

@Andrea... try liquid Aminos as a substitute for soy sauce. I use Braggs brand & love it! There is also coconut amino, but I haven't tried that yet. Good luck & God bless you & yours🙏

@sandijammes7761 2 жыл бұрын

@@AndreaRuralMN I can certainly understand that, but just as a thought, especially with your son in mind, if you can find a large bottle, (sometimes it's more affordable in the long run) you could blend it with water to make it go farther & just put a "table size" bottle for meal time use. It would go farther & I actually think it's pretty strong anyway, just like regular soy sauce tastes to me, so maybe that's something that might work for you. The large bottle lasts me a really long time too. Just thinking out loud & trying to be helpful. 🙂 God bless 🙏❤️

I can honestly say I have never noticed what you wear other than your great T-shirt’s. If you tend to burn in the sun, have your vitamin D levels checked. I am a red head and rarely burn since maintaining a healthy vitamin D level. God bless.

Thank you for the info on the tomato fruit set. I’m in 10a SoCal, and I kept hearing people say “over 85 you won’t get fruit”. And that just never rang true for me. But now I know it’s because my nights are low 60’s!! 😜
