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.

Here in Colorado we had gorgeous Spring weather with temps in the mid sixties. Last night we got three inches of snow and tomorrow's temp is back to 65. There is a saying that goes: If you don't like the weather in Colorado, wait ten minutes. 😂

I love Kevin's shirt! When I was a kid, I didn't like tomatoes. I like them now but I was told by my siblings that when I was young and got mad at someone and wanted to call them a name, the worst thing I could think of was ... a tomato! So I would say ... "YOU ... YOU ... YOU TOMATO!!" LOL

@wytchwoodhomesteadandkenne5036 Ай бұрын

Wow, you're as bad as I am. I am a fanatic about cucumbers 🥒 and tomatoes 🍅... Preferably sliced on a plate. Both of them lol. So I Winter Sow, and this year in my jugs I planted Homestead (repeat) Roma VF Pork Chop (yellow with orange stripes) Hartman's Yellow Gooseberry (yellow cherry and DELICIOUS) (repeat) Beefsteak Pineapple (orange tomato)(repeat) Then today I finally emptied it enough seeds trays and planted Dad's Sunset (red and orange) (repeat) Super Sweet 100 (Red Cherry) Black Cherry (Cherry)(repeat) Black Krim (Russian black tomato with green shoulders) Burgundy Pink Fruited (pink) Amish Paste (repeat) San Marzano Brad's Atomic Grape (purple and yellow) And more I can't even remember right now lol. The ones that say repeat, I grew last year. The rest are new. I absolutely adore the light, citrusy taste of the yellow and orange tomatoes. Now last year the only trouble I had with my tomatoes, and my Amish paste suffered as well I should mention, is I had blossom end rot because of the drought. I don't have a well and I can't catch what won't fall, so watering was a labor of love. I also went and got some tomato and veg granulated fertilizer and that mostly put an end to that. But with the dad's sunset, man those are amazing tomatoes. They are so so so so so so delicious. But it took so long to finally get some. They sat there on the vine and they would be huge and I would be waiting for them to start to turn and then when I thought okay this is it it's turning I can grab it and put it on the counter!!, I would go to pull it off and find a rot spot under it so... That was pretty miserable. But again, blossom end rot was my main issue and then not getting the Dad's Sunset to ripen! They would sit there day after day after day, and just not turn.

Winter has returned here. We had three wonderful days this week in the 70's and now I'm feeling colder than I should be! You got a lot done in the greenhouse. It makes me wish I had the room for one. I have a few more plants I want to start. Still another month before the last frost here. June usually is best for the warm weather plants maybe a little earlier this year because of our mild winter the frost is out already 😊

I used to grow the Black Beauty zucchini and yellow crookneck squash but several years ago I bought the Golden Zucchini squash from an organic farmer, friend of my husband who sells at our local farmers market. Squash bugs had taken out my squash, those Golden Zucchini were the best I ever ate. They. take the place of both yellow and green squash so now I only grow the Golden zucchini. Grilled planks are awesome and we also are on the Ketovore lifestyle so they fit into our eating habits, they are great cut up with onions and cooked until tender with butter, and at the end add heavy cream to finish it. It is like a dessert it is so good!

I'm in Ohio and our weather is supposed to get cold this coming week. Like down into the thirties. We've had about the same weather as you guys have had but I hope your greenhouse stays warm. For about the next 5 or 6 days it's supposed to get down into the 30s at night. 😬 I have a small greenhouse outside that I use in April to put all of my stuff outside from in the house. I start everything in February or March and put it outside in April to harden off and grow but I also have a small heater out there to keep everything close to 50° or higher. I love the seeds from MIgardener and purchased a little over $300 in seeds last year! Everything I grew performed better than I could have ever imagined and I also put stuff together a lot closer than in years prior. I sort of used a square foot gardening method in my rows for the garden. Thank you for all the teaching moments! I have learned a good bit from you guys.
