I have to chuckle. I’m in Oregon. When we went to Missouri to visit the outlaws. I mean Inlaws. I almost couldn’t believe how hot it was when we got off the plane. The entire nightmare, I mean vacation, I was soaking wet. The humidity almost took my breath away.
Imagine being used to it 😂. I am so grateful I’ve lived here my whole life. Even my buddy from Uganda is flabbergasted but the temp change from 0 degrees, to 60 back to 20 😂
For the heat..... you're close enough to the house to run a box fan on an extension cord. I'm in S. Florida. A fan is a game changer. Put it where you can take frequent mini breaks and stand in front of it. The moisture in your clothes will cool you off in front of the fan. Also work in short spurts with a fan/ water break in-between. Don't try to just power through.
I placed radishes in with my squash bc I heard the squash bugs don't like them. In happy to say No squash bugs this year! So that worked. Unfortunately I got hot with Vine borers! Not deterred, I'm planting more now ( June) since the eggs should be hatched and gone. 🤞
Welcome to Missouri. Where the humidity is year round. We have super hot summers and some winters are -20 below. The positive is that we have great gardening, great sports. I.E. St.Louis Cardinals, Blues etc.
I couldn't take the heat and humidity there. I can't even use a sauna, I just can't breathe. So I'll stay on the southern oregon coast. This past week I finally got everything planted. And all my beans are coming up after 5 days. I planted 10 different beans for dry beans. Then I will can them. Also planted yellow wax bean seeds and green bean seeds and they are coming up. Only took my spinach seeds 4 days to come up! So even though I was late getting things in. I think they are going to grow fast. Now that the weather has finally warmed up. By warmed up I mean it has gotten to 70°. Again, congrats on the new homestead!
I hope you have some harvest this year! For Missouri, June planting is a late start. We started tomatoes in cold frames in March and usually harvested beginning in early June. Potatoes should be in the ground by St. Patrick's Day. There are tricks for tomatoes in the Ozarks: strip off all but the top 4-6 leaves, then lay the stem down and cover with dirt so you have lots of roots. Pinch off the suckers and leave only 3-4 blooms per cluster. Get some plastic 2 liter and cut the bottoms off, bury one neck down next to each tomato plant and fill with water every morning; they need consistent water. By July 4, we had Early Girls weighing over 5 pounds each! And calcium to prevent blossom end rot.
June in Southern Missouri, she should be ok. Master gardener in the middle of the state here, and our community garden didn't get planted until late May to early June, and we still got tons!
The heat here in Missouri can suck your energy clean outta ya. Most folks here work outside in the morning and evening. The hottest hours are spend working inside. Instead of jeans, wear scrubs, they are life savers in this heat. Depending on where you live there are tons of second hand stores here and you can pick them up super cheap. If you are near Rogersville there is a store where everything is a quarter. It’s hit or miss but I’ve seen scrubs there many, many times. I bought so many skirts there, some brand new for only $.25 each! Welcome to the Ozarks.
Yes! Missouri resident here - west of St Louis. I garden EARLY in the morning, and late at night. The heat and humidity are insane, but you will acclimate in time. Anytime between 9am and 7:30 pm, I’m doing stuff indoors. So DO be sure your plants that are subject to fungal issues have plenty of airflow. Your tomatoes need to be at least 2 ft apart, and heavily pruned. Welcome to Missouri🤗
Have been glued to your channel since the move. I am a little jealous, as we are a few years out. in the meantime, a little of what I have learned. All bell peppers start as green. If you pick them green, you have green. If you let them ripen, you will get yellow, red, orange...etc. They are much sweeter after they change color. We wait to pick jalapenos and poblanos until they turn, also.
YES! I'm interested in seeing more of building your homestead from the ground up. I'm so excited for you and wish you the best. I'm hoping to do some of the same within a few years but I'm nervous because it's just me and I'm no spring chicken. You are an inspiration and know I feel you with the heat. It's too hot this year and I'm in WI. My self started bok choy sprouted and bolted.
I used to live in the Branson area, yes the humidity is rough. I moved to NE Missouri for family reasons. Hot and humid here too. I personally feel a "journal" of your progress in a new location is an awesome idea. There are established homesteaders and I enjoy watching them. In saying that seeing the beginning and the progress you make through this process would be wonderful. It would be beneficial for others who are "starting over" to see.
My sentiments exactly! Thanks for saying this. I know it will be awesome and so valuable for everyone to see how someone starts out, experiences successes and failures and teaches while learning. So looking forward to more! 💜
Don’t give up on your peppers too soon . Here in SC I struggle with bell type peppers but usually get something by September/ October. Peppers don’t like night temps above 70* or day time above 90*. And sometimes our humidity is 90% or above . Plant you some okra and sweet potatoes. Welcome to the hot, humid south.
You will be surprised at how overtime you will acclimate to the heat. We moved from the northeast to the southeast 8 years ago, and not anything under 60 degrees is cold to me.
In missouri you might find that things like lettuces and brassicas bolt this time of year. Maybe not at your elevation but it sounds like it with the heat you're experiencing!
Drink lots of fluids and id say get a straw hat with holes in it, mine was floppy to keep the sun off. I take breaks often at 58 years old. Even when I was younger I'd work parts that were shaded, like in morning or evening. Have my bees set up to get shade morning and evening in summer so I can work them. Take care of yourselves until you acclimate to this climate
@@FermentedHomestead walmart sometimes has them, bass pro and maybe orschelns or a farm and home store might. Its easier to get them in the spring, i had a heck of a time one year as all of them were Easter colors and I wasn't going for that look. Lol
An advice for the fogginess in the camara. Take the camera out of the house half an hour or an hour before you start recording, that way it will be up to temperature with the outside.
Sis tell Robert it will get better and yall will get use to and will love it. It's all about learning and adjusting to new environment and it will happen. 🥰
@@FermentedHomestead you can also find mineral buckets from local farmers and plant in them. They are usually in good abundance. I like the beds the previous owners made there though.
I like your channel as it is genuine. I have abandoned those who have a lot of people and film crews. For most people, it is work and sweat that counts. Hope it goes well for you in your new home. Greetings from northern Sweden
Youre so funny, we moved from Maine (originally CaliCoast)...to South Carolina, and all we say now is "its so hot here!" Before (while in Maine), we were freezing our bunnies off for 6 months...happy for you guys
Looks like your a.c. is way more than 10° below the outside temp. Your camera looks like it was to cold to come strait out into the heat. When I used a.c. & knew I had to be outside in the heat I set my a.c. NO more than 10° below the outside temp, other wise going outside feels like a heat stroke... Be safe, the Ozarks is like a whole new country. 😆
Oh goodness, the ac is not my domain! It’s the only way hubbs doesn’t melt. I’m just careful not to go in and out too much and I chill in the shade between as much as possible
@@FermentedHomestead Good. Me either. Lol, bc being in some place very cold and then going out into this heat can cause heat stroke and even the unthinkable... So y'all please be careful...!!!
Mulch, mulch, mulch here in Missouri. I got to thinking if you're coming from Washington state you're not used to having to mulch, it would have probably rotted there.
Yes please continue to film the building of your new homestead! I too am getting used to the humility & heat! Sometimes it seems so humid that it feels difficult to breathe… This is so new to me as I came from a very dry heat! But we shall persevere!
Oh girl...I so feel for you in that heat. I keep telling folks that southern heat and humidity is tough. They act like it's no vig deal really...lol. You got a lot done in short order there. It's going to be so much fun seeing how it all comes together and especially hearing stories on a the stuff that's different there. Praying for a bountiful harvest.
Gut health is a HUGE thing for me. TY for the second channel! Yes, humidity and heat. One reason why we are further north in MO. But longer spring and fall, short summer(only two miserable months) and a lovely cold winter that isn’t too long but you still get snow.
I am too! I have a couple videos in the works on the other channel but hard to edit at the moment 😂 the locals tell me it’s usually pretty mild here too, pretty close to what you said but hotter summers
I am really enjoying these. I hope the weather isn't making y'all regret your move. I hope Robert doesn't make you move back. Give the "south" a chance it usually isn't real hot too may days in the season. We don't have air here so if we can make it l know y'all will be fine. Looking good.
Things are looking great!! I too am interested in the progress you an your family are making in your new homestead. So happy for you all. Thank you for sharing.
Miracle gro works when that's all that's available for sure! We use it here, the local landscaping soils and composts are contaminated with herbicides. Need to really figure out composting myself!
Love you sharing your journey. Helps us learn from eachother! I learned a new word today from a lovely lady in the south.... Humidititties. she said she was suffering from the affliction. Since it made me laugh I was grateful she shared her real life struggle. 😁
Good morning Anna you’re doing great and you will adjust to the heat it takes time. We moved to the Florida panhandle last July and had to start a garden like you for our potatoes we too put down cardboard and then some soil and placed the potatoes and we covered them with straw. It didn’t work so well the yellow potatoes did great but the red potatoes were attacked by potato worms which did not happen in my raised beds not sure why. Trying to get used to growing in a new place is a learning curve hoping I will have better luck going forward
It does look like you have so much work ahead for you; that rocky soil is no good for farming! Bless you! I hope everything grows and thrives and you have a bountiful harvest!
This looks all too familiar. We moved from Virginia to NE Arkansas last May. Garden went in during May and June and we used cardboard and bagged soil. It was all we had. The ground here is hard when there is no rain (which there hasn't been for weeks) and the rocks in the ground are insane. I chuckled when your husband threw the shovel. Precisely what we go through! I wish you blessing in your garden and look forward to the progress.
@@FermentedHomestead we can plant in August seeds in the ground for zucchini, peas, radishes, greenbeans and cucumbers for fall harvest. If your south of I-70 you'll have a longer season until frost than I do. Ive planted greenbeans in August and canned quite a few for winter more than one year. We usually have some drought times in July and part of Aug, ive put buckwheat seed in the old garden to come up when it starts raining for the honeybees in the fall. I don't water unless I have to get something started as water is expensive where I am.
Ya! Heat wave big time. It's not usually this hot until July Aug! Try to avoid being out between like 10am to 3-4pm dont want heat stroke. Keep cool! Love the progress!!
Sending you encouragement! There is such a vast difference in climate between Washington and Missouri- on top of that you just happened to move during a significant heat wave. We are in NE TX and we started getting July heat by May 15th and it has not let up. So yes, it’s much different heat- but every summer won’t be quite this intense. ❤️ hang in there.
Everything looks fantastic! I'm so happy for y'all! I would love to see more of the garden this year. Please be safe in the sun. Don't forget to eat some fruit when you come inside from the heat. Have a great day! 💚
@@FermentedHomestead It supposed to hydrate you a little better than just water. So I usually will drink some water and eat some watermelon, oranges, strawberries or whatever is laying around. I'm no scientist 😆 but I feel like it works since I've started.
@@FermentedHomestead Anna, you REALLY need to make sure you replenish your electrolytes. Water is important yes, but the more of it you drink the more diluted your electrolytes. I think that must be why the other commenter mentioned fruit? Have you ever heard of sole water? If not, check out Redmond Real Salt’s blog, they have an article about it. Good stuff! I drink 8oz first thing every morning and will start sipping throughout the day during the summer months. Anyway, love watching you settle in to your new place. Can’t wait to see more! 😊
You probably saw this same thing when you drive across the country but when I drove for 4 hours across my state there were so many fields not planted. I was shocked. Then the dairy farms were either empty or only had about half of their normal amount of cows. The beef cows were nonexistent. I had heard this on videos but didn’t believe that they would actually get rid of cows they already owned. But it is a fact. At least in my state. I guess the grain prices are outrageous. So if you get a cow maybe start that field of grain too while you’re at it. The best of success in your new life. I wish you all lots of energy. And seriously pick up one of those professional cooling vests. Like on The Cooling Store. Get the more expensive one, it matters.
These videos are fun Anna, keep them coming! I think I heard some peepers in the background of one of the other videos. Are you keeping chickie cuteness from us???
I live in Missouri and squash bugs are horrible! This year, I have most squash in containers. The bugs are easier to kill and find but my plants are sad in the pots (but that could be my soil. I went peat free so my mix might be off). I’m not from Missouri, but the South so I laughed about ypu talking about the weather. Love your channel. Just found you.
I was subscribed to your channel but I had some surgeries and recovery time and as it happens TH-cam must have dropped my subscription and well, I found you back because of #fermentingfebruary so I am playing catch-up on your videos. Although it is well past the time this garden was harvested and soon time to plant this year's, I must say that although you say you only got green bell peppers, they all ripen to a color. Usually, when they don't say their color, they will ripen to red if left on the plant long enough!
Moving to a hot and humid place in the summer is very difficult. I moved to Korea in June and to GA in July. It's been 11 years here and I still hate working outside in the summer. You are doing a really great job. I think I heard you say that you thought you bought red bell peppers but got only green. I'm not sure if it is different depending on the variety, but the bell peppers I've grown will change color the longer they are left to grow. The green is the immature fruit. If I misunderstood what you said, my apologies. Very best wishes on your new journey.
I have a friend who is a Georgia native and I don’t think she’s even used to it 😂 I did mention that and now that you mention it I had heard it was an immature fruit, idk why I didn’t think of that!
Awesome!!! I got sick after we moved in and its been a month and I've not really been able to go out there yet. This week though it's top of the list. Very interested in your second channel as well will have to go and check it out. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us xox
Hey! My family and I are very seriously considering moving from Oregon to Missouri for similar reasons to you all. I gotta say, the heat, humidity and bugs all featured in this photo are not a selling point.😂 but good for me to see the reality cuz it’s easy to only focus on all the positives. I would really love and appreciate hearing more about your move and the state itself and how’s it’s been. How you would compare it to Washington. Everything someone considering moving there might like to know.☺️ thank you!
I'd be so tempted to buy huuge staked sails for shade. In fact it would be a necessity. You can buy semi perferated so it lets sun in but offers shade.
I’ve not watched your channel in awhile so I totally missed that you were going to move. Why did y’all pick Missouri? Do you have a video on that. We have similar heat humidity in Kansas and it’s very interesting to hear someone new to the area talk about it lol 😂 it’s been especially rough this year. Getting August weather way to early.
I have to chuckle. I’m in Oregon. When we went to Missouri to visit the outlaws. I mean Inlaws. I almost couldn’t believe how hot it was when we got off the plane. The entire nightmare, I mean vacation, I was soaking wet. The humidity almost took my breath away.
😂 it’s definitely something to get used to
@@FermentedHomestead I felt dirty the entire trip lol. Like maybe I smelled too haha.
😆😆😆 “outlaws” lol 😂
I am a native of SW Missouri .. believe it or not this extreme heat is not a norm .. humidity most definitely is bad
Imagine being used to it 😂. I am so grateful I’ve lived here my whole life. Even my buddy from Uganda is flabbergasted but the temp change from 0 degrees, to 60 back to 20 😂
It’s not the heat so much as the humidity 🥵
Congratulations Anna and Robert on your new homestead. We all get to watch it grow!!!!!
Its been very hot and humid. Take breaks and plenty of fluids. Love seeing your transformation.
For the heat..... you're close enough to the house to run a box fan on an extension cord. I'm in S. Florida. A fan is a game changer. Put it where you can take frequent mini breaks and stand in front of it. The moisture in your clothes will cool you off in front of the fan. Also work in short spurts with a fan/ water break in-between. Don't try to just power through.
I placed radishes in with my squash bc I heard the squash bugs don't like them. In happy to say No squash bugs this year! So that worked. Unfortunately I got hot with Vine borers! Not deterred, I'm planting more now ( June) since the eggs should be hatched and gone. 🤞
Welcome to Missouri. Where the humidity is year round. We have super hot summers and some winters are -20 below. The positive is that we have great gardening, great sports. I.E. St.Louis Cardinals, Blues etc.
Man! You guys hit the ground running! Looking great

I hope you have some harvest this year! For Missouri, June planting is a late start. We started tomatoes in cold frames in March and usually harvested beginning in early June. Potatoes should be in the ground by St. Patrick's Day.
There are tricks for tomatoes in the Ozarks: strip off all but the top 4-6 leaves, then lay the stem down and cover with dirt so you have lots of roots. Pinch off the suckers and leave only 3-4 blooms per cluster. Get some plastic 2 liter and cut the bottoms off, bury one neck down next to each tomato plant and fill with water every morning; they need consistent water. By July 4, we had Early Girls weighing over 5 pounds each! And calcium to prevent blossom end rot.
Do you have a garden
June in Southern Missouri, she should be ok. Master gardener in the middle of the state here, and our community garden didn't get planted until late May to early June, and we still got tons!
The heat here in Missouri can suck your energy clean outta ya. Most folks here work outside in the morning and evening. The hottest hours are spend working inside. Instead of jeans, wear scrubs, they are life savers in this heat. Depending on where you live there are tons of second hand stores here and you can pick them up super cheap. If you are near Rogersville there is a store where everything is a quarter. It’s hit or miss but I’ve seen scrubs there many, many times. I bought so many skirts there, some brand new for only $.25 each! Welcome to the Ozarks.
I’ve never heard that! I’ll have to pick some up. And I need to find that store! I don’t live near there but I do head that direction sometimes

Good morning Anna you’re doing great and you will adjust to the heat it takes time. We moved to the Florida panhandle last July and had to start a garden like you for our potatoes we too put down cardboard and then some soil and placed the potatoes and we covered them with straw. It didn’t work so well the yellow potatoes did great but the red potatoes were attacked by potato worms which did not happen in my raised beds not sure why.

@@FermentedHomestead we can plant in August seeds in the ground for zucchini, peas, radishes, greenbeans and cucumbers for fall harvest. If your south of I-70 you'll have a longer season until frost than I do. Ive planted greenbeans in August and canned quite a few for winter more than one year.
We usually have some drought times in July and part of Aug, ive put buckwheat seed in the old garden to come up when it starts raining for the honeybees in the fall. I don't water unless I have to get something started as water is expensive where I am.

Sending you encouragement! There is such a vast difference in climate between Washington and Missouri- on top of that you just happened to move during a significant heat wave. We are in NE TX and we started getting July heat by May 15th and it has not let up. So yes, it’s much different heat- but every summer won’t be quite this intense. ❤️ hang in there.
Thank you for your videos! I love your new home and garden area! I live in south Alabama, so I totally understand the heat and humidity!
Starting over is hard work you guys got this. I will be looking forward to seeing what you guys do. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Awesome you did good ❤️
I giggled at Robert without a shirt. My husband never wore a shirt. I Hate the heat, it makes me sick.
Everything looks fantastic! I'm so happy for y'all! I would love to see more of the garden this year. Please be safe in the sun. Don't forget to eat some fruit when you come inside from the heat. Have a great day! 💚
Thank you! I will be sharing lots for sure, I’m happy you’re enjoying! I hadn’t heard of the fruit, what is the purpose of that? I love learning
@@FermentedHomestead It supposed to hydrate you a little better than just water. So I usually will drink some water and eat some watermelon, oranges, strawberries or whatever is laying around. I'm no scientist 😆 but I feel like it works since I've started.
@@FermentedHomestead Anna, you REALLY need to make sure you replenish your electrolytes. Water is important yes, but the more of it you drink the more diluted your electrolytes. I think that must be why the other commenter mentioned fruit? Have you ever heard of sole water? If not, check out Redmond Real Salt’s blog, they have an article about it. Good stuff! I drink 8oz first thing every morning and will start sipping throughout the day during the summer months. Anyway, love watching you settle in to your new place. Can’t wait to see more! 😊
You are making a lot of progress.
Keep posting about your homesteading set up. Love seeing it!
Be careful clearing out the tires around the fruit trees. Copperhead snakes were seen in a couple last year.
I'm interested. Keep em coming.
Dang you are motivated. I think that’s a wise idea.
Yes we are! Don’t want to miss an opportunity to grow food with the state of the world
You probably saw this same thing when you drive across the country but when I drove for 4 hours across my state there were so many fields not planted. I was shocked. Then the dairy farms were either empty or only had about half of their normal amount of cows. The beef cows were nonexistent. I had heard this on videos but didn’t believe that they would actually get rid of cows they already owned. But it is a fact. At least in my state. I guess the grain prices are outrageous. So if you get a cow maybe start that field of grain too while you’re at it. The best of success in your new life. I wish you all lots of energy. And seriously pick up one of those professional cooling vests. Like on The Cooling Store. Get the more expensive one, it matters.
These videos are fun Anna, keep them coming! I think I heard some peepers in the background of one of the other videos. Are you keeping chickie cuteness from us???
Yes very intrested !!looks great!
Yes
I live in Missouri and squash bugs are horrible! This year, I have most squash in containers. The bugs are easier to kill and find but my plants are sad in the pots (but that could be my soil. I went peat free so my mix might be off). I’m not from Missouri, but the South so I laughed about ypu talking about the weather. Love your channel. Just found you.
I was subscribed to your channel but I had some surgeries and recovery time and as it happens TH-cam must have dropped my subscription and well, I found you back because of #fermentingfebruary so I am playing catch-up on your videos. Although it is well past the time this garden was harvested and soon time to plant this year's, I must say that although you say you only got green bell peppers, they all ripen to a color. Usually, when they don't say their color, they will ripen to red if left on the plant long enough!
Moving to a hot and humid place in the summer is very difficult. I moved to Korea in June and to GA in July. It's been 11 years here and I still hate working outside in the summer. You are doing a really great job. I think I heard you say that you thought you bought red bell peppers but got only green. I'm not sure if it is different depending on the variety, but the bell peppers I've grown will change color the longer they are left to grow. The green is the immature fruit. If I misunderstood what you said, my apologies. Very best wishes on your new journey.
I have a friend who is a Georgia native and I don’t think she’s even used to it 😂 I did mention that and now that you mention it I had heard it was an immature fruit, idk why I didn’t think of that!
Awesome!!! I got sick after we moved in and its been a month and I've not really been able to go out there yet. This week though it's top of the list. Very interested in your second channel as well will have to go and check it out. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us xox
I’m sorry you were sick! I’m super glad you’re on the mend though!
Good job all of you!!! You are all hardworking. What an amazing adventure you are on😍😍
Yes, I want to see the progress as it happens & I’m so looking forward to this gardening/homesteading series.
Hey! My family and I are very seriously considering moving from Oregon to Missouri for similar reasons to you all.
I gotta say, the heat, humidity and bugs all featured in this photo are not a selling point.😂 but good for me to see the reality cuz it’s easy to only focus on all the positives.
I would really love and appreciate hearing more about your move and the state itself and how’s it’s been. How you would compare it to Washington. Everything someone considering moving there might like to know.☺️ thank you!
What do you think of this Missouri weather? It's extremely hot today. I'm just a few hours from you.
I love it…hubby not so much. In Washington I might get by without a coat for like a month, I run very cold
Good to see your getting settled in.
More gardening & less talking about the fog & heat; we know its hot, humid, and rocky.... k cool.,,, happy gardening
The thumbnail says “it’s so hot”….I feel like that was a pretty fair warning of the content
I'd be so tempted to buy huuge staked sails for shade. In fact it would be a necessity. You can buy semi perferated so it lets sun in but offers shade.
I hope this heat wave passes for you and me soon! I love the garden videos.
I hope you are doing well
looking good
i wish you luck with your garden. i hope the deer don't get your's like they did mine. enjoyed your video
Oh gosh June was brutal here this year! Where did you get soil from ? Oh wow moving that dirt had to be 😓 hard work!
Interested!!!👩🏽🌾👍🏽
I’ve not watched your channel in awhile so I totally missed that you were going to move. Why did y’all pick Missouri? Do you have a video on that. We have similar heat humidity in Kansas and it’s very interesting to hear someone new to the area talk about it lol 😂 it’s been especially rough this year. Getting August weather way to early.
I’m Canadian and I married a wonderful man from Missouri and moved down but he failed to warn me about the heat and humidity! 🥵
Am very interested to follow you on your journry
You need a straw hat when you go outside. I try to go outside very early in the morning
What was the name of your other channel?
Pursuing gut health, only 1 video atm but I’m working on a few!
@@FermentedHomestead Found it ! thank you!!
Isn't it too hot/too late to plant radish?
Probably 😂
Do y’all have a Patreon?
We don’t, never even thought to make one 😂
you definitely need a hat
I am so enjoying this content. It is lovely to see you settling in to life in the Ozarks. Please stay safe in the heat and humidity! 🌸
I would love to see you're new forever home be built from ground up as long as there's still a mix of fermenting too because I love your recipes!!!!
