***** 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 respect how you two work so well together, your ‘in step’ with each other! Love the videos! Thanks
WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER. ☺️. The auger idea is a real time saver. I love learning from others. THANK YOU!
I planted one sweet potato from Jeans health way. I just harvested them and they weighed just shy of 43# from ONE. Plant!! We were very surprised and thankful!!!
💞💞
We had several sweet potatoes that were 9 pounds and one that was 13 pounds!!!
Is Jeans Health Way a company you buy slips from or?
Awesome
So I’m a beginner gardener. Were those slips? Or did you plant the whole potato? I saw so many DIFFERENT methods I got very confused. So I just planted the whole potato halfway in the ground like one video suggested. I do have lots of leaves that have come up, do I need to separate those at this point and plant each slip into the ground? Thank you so much if someone could answer
Oh Man !! I thought we were going to get a sneak peek in the house !! It’s looking great from the outside!! You’re a great couple and I love your channel 👏👏
I know I was hoping that too!
You are both glowing with joy of your new home all your hard work over the years as got you to this point in time awsome
Can’t wait to see the inside of your new home the outside is gorgeous.God Bless
That’s a decent harvest of sweet potatoes from just 3 buckets! Can’t wait to see the house tour!! Been watching your channel now for a long time and you two never disappoint me with your videos 😊
Nice to see the sprout house in the background looking rather smug in its new place. Not a bad sweet potato harvest and can not wait to see the home tour.
Loving the look of the Sprout House behind the greenhouse!
I grew sweet potatoes in a tub like yours outside and got a great haul... the vines actually went through the bottom of the pot and into the ground and grew more potatoes there! I used a livestock panel behind the pot and trained the vines onto the panel held up by t-bars to keep the vines from going everywhere - worked perfectly but did need to remember to water as my soaker hose watering system wasn't available to the sweet potatoes. So easy to just dump the pot out on a tarp and harvest the sweet potatoes got some huge ones weighing several pounds! My vines even flowered.
can't hardly wait to see it - so happy for the two of you - well deserved
I just have to tell you just how much I enjoy the two of you. I've been watching other homesteaders they are ok but you are all around farmers almost like my grandparents you have a handle on the whole of small farming scope. I've been envious watching you have the life I've dreamed of most of my life and was denied by life. I'm now getting up there age wise and I'm able to live a much smaller scale but still kicking it out as health and age allow. I can't wait for Wednesdays to join you I am still learning and that is a blessing. THANK YOU so much for sharing your day with me. God Bless and keep you in all you are. Love you guys.
Watching you guy's is like watching a dream come true.. Blessings ❤️
So good to see ya harvesting your sweet potatoes and tomatoes. Your citrus trees are going to be lovely in that window and I hope you get a good picking off the trees. Your home is so lovely outside and it looks like it’s home forever, can’t wait to see the inside finishing touches. Have fun getting your home ready and moving in.
So much excitement going on..........what a year you have had!! Blessings and can't wait to see the new home inside!
Beautiful!!! COngratulations!
I admire the color of siding on your home. It blends beautifully with the land.
Thanks for the update on the greenhouse and the items that are still growing there. It will be great to see if the tomatoes hang on through the low temps this week. Your house looks mighty fine and I look forward to the tour. Y'all have a Blessed day.
How nice to have such a wonderful greenhouse! It's like having 2 spring seasons. You don't have to compost your rabbit manure. You can put it right onto your soil whether it's outside or in the greenhouse. Any pelletized manure won't burn your plants and doesn't need to be composted. So if you can get goat, sheep, alpaca, llama, deer etc. you can use that too besides the rabbit manure. Love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. P.S. the smaller veggies are usually the best. Small sweet potatoes roast really well. ;)
Thank you for sharing your greenhouse, trees and plantings with us! Cannot wait to see the house but it is sure beautiful from the outside! I am sure you are thrilled.
That tip about the auger bit on the drill!!!😄 Oh my goodness, you just saved me SO much time & energy! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! You 2 are my favorite Homestead/Farmers! All the inspiration & information, without politics & divisiveness. Lovely peoplle in word & deed. May God Continue To Bless You Both! Happy harvests- great sweet potato haul! PS - (You know the leaves make an excellelt spinach substitute...right?)
SO HAPPY FOR YOU & SARAH WITH THE BOUNTY OF TOMATOES & LETTUCES. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR HOUSE INSIDE & YOU FINALLY LIVING IN IT. GOD BLESS :)
I’m so excited about your new homestead! Sarah, you always look so beautiful, wholesome and healthy. The gray in your hair is so pretty!
Beautiful place kiven and Sarah you two been blessed one another, working together helps to grow everything this is awesome and fun!
My 7 year old was watching with me and he was asking a lot of questions about the shade cloth. And then he said we needed a big one like that to put under our mulberry tree to catch all the mulberries 😂
The house looks amazing....love the color...can't wait to see the inside. Congrats and Blessings!!!!
A greenhouse is a blessing indeed to be able to grow year round! It was 15° here in central Minnesota this morning. Cleared out the garden last week, except for some celery, which will be dehydrated. For a first year with a full size garden, it was definitely hard work, but the harvest was truly blessed!
The glow on your face Sarah in regards to your new house is unmistakable. So happy for you! Take care care and God bless!
We were at 29 degrees yesterday morning, and we had SNOW! It didn't lay on, but it did Snow! Cold again this morning sitting on 30 degrees right now. 6:45 AM.
Hope you both have a great day. 😃 GOD bless
Where are you?
@@melaneymattson3733 Zone 6b The Plateau of East Tennessee.
I used a candle in 2 clay pots under my tomato plant in the greenhouse. And it was just enough to keep the Temps up so no frost damage in the hoop house
Oh and in my big buckets of sweet potatoes always check the bottoms -for some reason they circle the bottom of the bucket making potatoes. Lol. One of my buckets actually grew out into the ground and I harvested one lone potato out of the ground under the pot lol
Good ☕️☕️ Morning Kevin & Sarah,I so enjoy always seeing your produce.I think it’s awesome how you manage your farm/homestead.Have a wonderful week & Bless your family.🌷💕🌷
Good to see you again. Can't wait to tour your new home. Hope it's everything you wanted.
Oh the tease!! I was so excited to see even one room but no, your leaving us hanging in anticipation! 😂 Always enjoy your videos and seeing the fruits of your labor.
Love seeing you plant your winter lettuce and other veggies in the greenhouse. Are there any types of flowers you can grow during the winter for a little color? Absolutely love your citrus trees. Growing up in Sacramento, gave our family plenty of citrus to eat right our garden. Crossing my fingers and wishing you many limes for a pie! Stay nice and warm in your new home in the coming nights. Take care and please stay safe as the seasons change. God bless and protect you!
I can’t wait to see inside the house! What a wonder late season harvest. God Bless ✝️
Good Morning to you guys, as always thanks for sharing.👍🏻😊❤️🙏
Kevin may I suggest you drill four holes in the top of your citrus tree 🌳 pots tie a rope with a short 8" piece of old garden hose for a grip spot. 😀 That way you don't have to bend so far down to lift & carry the buckets in and out of the house. Be well, blessings.
We were in a community garden and life happened for one of the gardeners resulting in the baby bok choy going to seed. Spring came along and by the time her winter cover crop could be tilled in, there were root systems that needed to be raked out. But there was also a fresh green covering of seedlings within 2 week-ends and a dread that some weed had let loose. It was baby bok choy and ultimately the plot owner worked in baby bok choy as green manuer and weed suppression system for use during the seasons.
Strange enough mine was planted and seeded out before developing!
Within 3weeks. Summer planted.
@@gafairbanks2434 bok choy will seed VERY quickly with either too much heat and also too intense of sun. Kohlrabi handles warmer temps, and it seems cooler Temps, than bok choy or baby bok choy.
I really enjoy watching you two work together and I hear sweet potatoes are not east to grow so I think your harvest was awesome. I've heard that the Japanese variety is a little hardier. They seem smaller and are purple 💜 Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Lord bless you
Love the greenhouse, love your tips, and so excited for the farmhouse!
The two of you always amaze me… such hard workers and wonderful inspiration. I don’t have a homestead but even so…. I think of growing stuff around my condo / home….Thank you for these videos. Bless you and your family 🙏😘👍
We already had two days with frost here on the S. Plateau over a week ago. Yesterday it dropped to 30, this morning it's 26 and tomorrow will be the same. I really need a greenhouse.
I can't wait to see inside your new home. So happy for you!
Northern South Dakota has already been hit several nights with hard frost. My farmer husband and son are happy to be harvesting our crops.Days are still going to be nice!
Same here in central Minnesota, we had 15° this morning a nice days. May your harvest be abundant!
@@forrestgump9576 In Southwest Missouri
it's 19° F.
Too early here.
I've heard snow in Tennessee.
@@forrestgump9576 thank you!
Great video and harvest. Those cherry tomatoes will taste so good this fall and the sweet potatoes will be wonderful too. They’re so healthy for you. Good luck with your trees. Cant wait to see how they look inside the sliding door.
It really would have been nice to see the inside progress for those considering doing the same thing!
Northern MO here and yes, the past 3 nights have frozen hard. This is our third arctic blast so far and isnt even winter yet. Usually we get 1-3 a full winter, usually in January. Appreciate you both😊😊
No artic blast yet. But it's expected after winter gets here. This is just early cold for fall season. Winter doesn't start until December 21, 2022.
Good for you guys happy to see you. ❤
Your very first plants in your new house! Awesome. And they are already producing fruits... God is good.
Hugs from Belgium.
Can hardly wait for the next video. I know you guys are busy with your setup and move. How exciting! Wishing you all the blessings possible. Keeping your family in my prayers. You two are my favorite homesteaders to watch.
Last night had the first threat of a frost down here in Texas. NE Texas did get a freeze. We rarely get a hard freeze till Christmas, so my citrus are staying out till then. I have a lemon, lime, and Satsuma. My Satsuma has 7 on it. Been waiting for the cool snap for them to finish ripening and sweeten off. It's actually good for you to pick off the fruit the first year, so they put their effort into good roots, but I had to leave a few. They are good down to about 27 degrees for short periods, so I'm not too worried. Next year, they go into the ground and I'll build PVC frames with plastic to cover them during hard freezes. It will be back up to the 80's by the weekend, so back to short-sleeves.
My husband and I watched your latest video on the TV last week but we had to get to work and never watched the update on the citrus trees. I finally just watched now! I'm really glad the key limes are coming. I bet you're right about the tangerines producing in the house. When you pulled the pallet up to the sliding door I thought I'd get a sneak peak at the new house! I love how Sarah was grinning ear to ear when Kevin told us we'd have to wait a little longer. We love you guys. Maybe soon we will see the new house.
If you haven't tried the sun sugar tomatoes (small/cherry size), you really should! I guarantee you will love them.
My favorite
I love the yellow ones.
Yes on the sun sugar!
House looks good in the background, can't wait to the the work on the house. God Bless, Mike
Couldn't help but notice the purple martin house as you passed by on the tractor. Glad to see other folks who enjoy the martins, too. I can't think of summer without a few full martin houses. Thanks for the update on the greenhouse. Looks like you all are settling in nicely.
Hi Sarah and Kevin. That size sweet potato are perfect for me to roast in the oven or in the fire. I spent a few years in Malaya as a child between the ages of 7-10 and I spent more time with the malayan communities in the Kampongs than I did at home at that's where I learnt that the smaller sizes are the sweetest and not as mealy or stringy. They always ate the purple/maroon skinned type with white flesh inside. I don't eat any other kind to be honest. These have been my favourites since then and now I am 65 going on 66 in Dec and I still love them. Michelle
I love your videos. It’s so exciting to watch your journey
Oh my goodness! I seen those cherry tomatoes and I LOL’d! Kevin, I know you’re super happy. I’m also jealous! 😂 I’m almost as excited as you guys for your new house. You’ve waited so long and absolutely deserve it!! I’m just so excited!!!! I can’t wait to see the joy on your faces when you show us. That’s my favorite. Also, I’d have been super happy with those sweet potatoes too. I’ve been with you long enough to have witnessed some of your other efforts and felt awful for you. So yayyyy for buckets!
Anywho…thank you for ALL you do and share. God bless you ~Lisa
It’s so cute to see your excitement, can’t wait to see the inside and how you decorate it.
I admire how u both work together. It's a blessing. More blessings from New Mexico
I am from New Mexico too love to hear about NM chili and all your stories 😋 😀 😍 ❤️
I feel excited just to see your new house, your guys are an awesome couple, God Bless
So looking forward to seeing your new Home. God bless you both.
I really like the greenhouse. That is on my bucket list to take my garden to the next level.
Every (late) spring we wish for sun and once summer actually hits, we are often wishing for just a little less intense sun knowing we've got between several weeks and a couple of month's of drought upcoming. Those that use shade cloth systems and co-plant vegetation for some shade out in the in-ground or container gardens notice that the soil doesn't dry out near as quickly and also the humidity factor is different in the shaded areas.
Citrus blossoms smell so beautiful 😍
Another enjoyable video. I love working around on the farm with you’ll, while I’m still snuggled up in my warm comfy covers!!! 😅
I've always found the small sweet potatoes to be sweeter, more tender, and less fibrous than the big round or long potatoes. Love the greenhouse!
In one of my favorite books of life on the prairie, Days Of My Life: Memories Of A Kansas Mother And Teacher: Menninger, Flo V., They used to hang tomato plants upside down in the barn when the season ended, to let the tomatoes continue to ripen
Yikes! That was a sneaky frost! Love you guys! ❤
Make sure you dump the sweet potato buckets because they will grow all the way to the bottom. I did tubs this year and i had lots on the bottom.
If I built a house I’d love to have a green house built on to house instead of a garage. Have garage detached. But I’d like it with a walk out basement.
Great video.
Great greenhouse. Can’t wait to see your lovely home. Hope you are staying warm.
Having that auger bit on the drill is amazing BUT for some reason, there is no better feeling than my hands in that soil
Can't wait to see the inside of the house all put together!
We love you guys! We’ve harvested all our summer crops and pray
Our fall crops will survive this early cold snap
My husband is much better on the ladder than I
Boy what a teeze! Look at thoes grins. Can't wait for the house tour!!!!!♡♡♡
love the hymn verse on your shirt. thank you for your open testimony. may the LORD bless you and yours, in the name of Jesus. amen.
Greetings from Athens Greece
I have somehow kept a cherry tomato plant alive during our Central Texas summer (grown in a container) and it has finally started setting blooms again and producing fruit. Anxious to see just ho much longer.
The outside of the house looks gorgeous! Beautiful
Hey Kevin and Sarah, you might want to get a tarp and dump out the soil in those sweet potato tubs. I grew some in 2 tubs and there were sweet potatoes all the way to the bottom. Can’t wait to see the inside of the new farm house. Have a blessed day 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️💕👩🏻🌾
I just love your channel! I love the way you are always working together!
Oh, come oooon!!! I'm so excited for you and can't wait to see your new home!😂
I use a paint stirring mixer - 1/2” shank for the soil mixer, 😁 and I love those little ones are the best! Makes a meal for one ! I love make them for snacks! No sugar sometime a little butter, I put in microwave ! 😊
Another way to do the shade cloth is to have it on rolls inside the greenhouse at the top of the wall. If you unroll it (or have machinery do the job when the sun is too bright) on top of wires, they hold it up high and out of the way and out of the weather and wind. So you can roll or unroll your shade cloth from indoors even if it is raining and have less of a chore to deploy or take back from the roof top. All it takes is study support wires from the top of one wall to the top of another wall.
Stay warm you guys! God bless!🤗
Thanks for sharing. Love watching y'all.
One of your videos just came up on my TV when I was taking a break from cleaning my house. It looked very interesting, so I decided to subscribe. I'm a 77 year old grandma from Campobello, South Carolina. I'm looking forward to your videos. God bless you. Linda Shearin
I have really missed your videos. Can’t wait to see your house finished
That was a good sweet potato harvest!!! Great harvest on the small tomatoes!!! I also wanted to tell you guys I got my tee shirt!!! I'm wearing it right now!!! I love it!!! God Bless!!!
LOLOLOLOL I was getting excited thinking we were going to get a peek at your new house! It must be close if you're able to put plants in there and not worry about them being in the way of the workmen. Great video as always!
My sister and I took a trip to Baker Creek Seeds earlier this year, and while I was looking at the map I saw Ava on there. I hadn't realized you lived so close. I kept saying, "one of my favorite farms on TH-cam is close to here!"
Great video! All ready for the frost! Keep warm, God Bless!
Thanks for sharing. Anxious to see inside your home.
Here in West Central Missouri it is 25 degrees, burr. Your videos are VERY inspirational. Thank You
You are so blessed to have each other
Drill and auger are on my wish list, so another use for it will make my husband happy. He gave me a sideways look when I showed him a video of someone using it to plant shrubs & annuals & perennials.
Cant wait to see the inside of the house. I have mexican lime, Valencia Orange & Meyer Lemon dwarf trees & they stay in the stone courtyard near the stucco of the home or the stone on the courtyard walls during winter bc they hold in heat & they keep the trees warm in winter, as we get lots of freezes & a lil bit of snow. Good to kno about the baby bokchoy.
I moved my lime trees in the garage too. I got glass garage doors to help the growing process of garden plants. I’m so excited. After several attempts to get and build a small greenhouse last spring, l finally have the builders here. The concrete truck broke down, yep! So hopefully Monday it will be poured. I’m making sure it’s anchored in concrete. We have had tornadoes here in the past so l don’t want to lose it to high winds.🙏 My loquat didn’t make it in the mail. The leaves looked bad and it was my most expensive tree. It didn’t get mailed right away or got lost, not sure but it apparently froze. I will not make the mistake of not protecting them for mailing again. My sweet potatoes were about the same size. I had one pot. Hopefully this spring l will have more success getting a garden in. My chickens give me 6-10 eggs daily so far. The winds last week have me re-doing their tarp. I had so many plans that couldn’t be done, waiting for fencing, waiting for shed, waiting for greenhouse. Waiting for hydrant. It’s always an adventure here.
For being a new widow, my garden and chickens and pets are helping me get up and get going. Thank you for your videos. You both look so healthy! I watched an old video and you both look younger! Healthy living! I need those greenhouse tips 👍
You guys are such good examples of survival and hard work!!
I used to eat a lot of lettuce and salads but i don't anymore
What a TEASE, when I saw . you drive up to the house thought we were going to get a look. great video as always. Thanks
Yes time to get ready for cooler weather. Cool weather hit here two weeks ago 20s every night and snow is predicted for this weekend.
