Sarah. I would like to suggest that you put your crop onto a painter's cloth. It will help protect your weed barrier from getting dirt all over it. Then you can just pick up the cloth and dust it off.
I am long time viewer. 70 years old and I’m still gardening and learning new things from you “youngsters”. Love to watch your growth on your farm. I thought I was the only one that gets so excited when I have a successful harvest. The smile on your face and excitement when you saw the Cabbages was priceless! Fun to see your peanut harvest! Looking forward to the next video….. take care and God Bless 💕
I tried to grow cabbage, Brussel sprouts, and cabbage once. Once is the keyword. After seeing how you do it, I might try is again this next summer. Thank you for sharing. Like you, I get excited about a harvest. My husband loves to watch me pick tomatos. He said it's worth all the rototilling to see my face light up.
To tell you how green I am, this is my first time seeing a peanut harvest. It's like digging for potatoes, only better! That was SO fun, especially witnessing your excitement and enthusiasm over your success! Great video!!
It’s fun to watch your excitement! Makes me want to grow peanuts too! I love your enthusiasm. Congratulations on a very successful peanut (and cabbage) harvest!
those marigold plants she let dry out with the peanut plants are going to be a nightmare for her next year. Marigolds are so prolific in releasing seeds. She is going to have so many seedlings in that raised bed garden she let dry out, smh.
My first peanut harvest was unusual. Both of us grew up on farms where corn, milo, wheat and soybeans were raised. In Jan we rented a vacant house from an elderly couple who had moved to town. We got all moved in and were prowling the three acre property the first weekend. We spotted rows of dead plants and discussed what they could be. Imagine our surprise and delight when we discovered the delicious little morsels hiding just under the sandy surface. Somehow we knew not to eat them uncured. We pulled and dug a bunch to cure on a makeshift rack we put up. Our kids loved peanuts so the treats were welcome for months. Free food is so so fun for kids.
North Dakota. I started working with a fella last year that started growing them 20 years ago. He saves seed every year and the strain is climatized. It’s doable anywhere except permafrost obviously. Keep doing it. Fabulous protein and fat source! Survival food!
I never planted peanuts, HOWEVER😢 when I was weeding my front flower bed one fall I pulled out a WEED, and lo and behold there were peanuts attached. I think somewhere in Pennsylvania a squirrel must have been responsible . I was amazed.
😆aww that's cute🐿! My cute little backyard squirrels plant all kinds of nuts in my raised beds, but so far I haven't found any peanut plants. I hope they will plant some for me in the future!
Hi there! Everyone do be a little careful (like I know Sarah is) when moving rabbits with 2x4 wire underneath, make sure they are indeed riding the wire, unfortunately we have had broken legs from not being careful ♥
Such peaceful music. You show such patience and love towards all your animals. Just as God intended all of us to do. Thank you for an amazing day on your farm ❤
I agree. But I also love love love how excited Sarah gets when she talks about everything. So excited like she has never grown anything. Like it is her first time. Your homestead is fantastic. God always lets the sunshine in her voice. Shine thru. I truly love watching your channel as well as Three Rivers Homestead wishing I could have done this when I was younger. I am gonna do some stuff this year y'all gave me the courage to do it. Thank you so much and God bless.
I so enjoyed this video! So often the true partnership of women in homesteading families is celebrated almost exclusively the kitchen. You show the strength and capability of women for all aspects of homesteading responsibilities. Love all your videos, but this one really sings for me! Thank you! -- and peanuts! Wowza!
RIGHT??? Sarah definitely pulls her own weight! I'm out in the thick & MUCK of it more often than my husband, although he likes any chore that lets him drive the tractor. Haha. I do all the kitchen stuff too! Not enough hours in the day!
We've used those grow bags for our orchard and a few things in our high tunnel greenhouse, and have had tremendous success. Even protection from light frosts. We placed the really tall garden grow sticks with plastic coating, for fruit trees and bushes as well as circular chicken wire cages. They've worked really well.
I love watching your videos. I mentioned in another video that I live vicariously through you and Kevin! I wish I lived with you on your beautiful farm and helped with your harvest! The peanuts were great and so we're the cabbages! So exciting! Thanks for sharing your lives with us!❤
I used to grow peanuts all the time. Another good use for them is boiling them and put in freezer. We dried them and made homemade peanut butter. I'm from Orlando FL
Watched many gardening videos, a first to see someone in a similar zone to mine grow/harvest peanuts! Wonder if I could grow them in NJ? THANKYOU🙂 for sharing how net bags efficiently keep out cabbage moths/worms, I will try that! Because I don't have hoops for making low tunnels made yet, that is a big project for next year.
K & S-Hey there. I saw you working in & around the feed shed and barn. I had a red wasp problem. My way to deal with wasp was--I got paper sack & put some old walmart plastic bags inside --twist top of sack & hang them up. Wasp see it and think hornet & leave. I do this in winter time before they look for a home to nest--Doing it after the nest is built makes it less successful in stopping the nesting place. I place them in places I think they will nest. I had one on my house porch. It is successful with my wasp problem & it is cheap way I deal with them. You could try this and it may prevent being popped by a wasp possibly. You have a wonderful day. I love you. Dewayne Willis
Just a few hours to the north of you in Missouri. Have grown peanuts a few times. Growing them in a pot/raised bed gave me the best results. If the soil is too hard their pegs (that make peanuts) cant penetrate the ground and you get terrible harvests. They like heat too so your vegega beds are probably perfect for peanuts.
I love waddlesville, but the ducks and geese are eating every bit of grain from the poultry feeder. Except for the American bress chicks, that are separate, the chickens w the ducks are small & thin. I would definitely separate them..
So Love your morning feedings Dear Sarah! Beautiful Broccoli Harvest! Yahoo! Cabbage are beautiful! 100 % Peanut Harvest Success! So so Proud of you both!
A successful harvest is thrilling. We lived in S.W. Georgia for many years. While we didn't grow peanuts, the farmers in our area, were big growers of peanuts, cotton, corn, soybeans, and more. The peanuts were dug and turned over to dry. Later the peanuts vines were bailed and fed to animals. It was called " peanut hay."
Sarah, my grandfather grew peanuts in Mississippi when I was a child. He pulled his while the plants were still green. I remember picking the peanuts of the plants after he pulled them. We would sit under a tree in the shade. Wonderful memories! Enjoy your peanuts!!!
God Bless you have no idea how lucky you are to have a real man and land so happy for you Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise and turn selfish stay strong of everything you have you are free ❤😇🙏
We're in North Central Iowa. We grew peanuts for the first time this year. We got a lot from our raised bed. It was so fun pulling the peanuts up. It's amazing how they grew. Congratulations on your harvest.
Over 50 years ago when we were kids mom grew all kids of plants not only for food but also educational to show us how they grew. This included peanuts, broccoli, Brussel sprouts etc, etc. 😊
I am 83 now and was 7 at the time. I was raised on a hill farm near Poplar Bluff MO. We always set aside 10 acres into vegies etc. to sell in town on Saturdays. One year grandpa decided to try peanuts on 5 of the 10 acres. When ready, we pulled them up and stacked them about two feet high with the roots inside to dry. We checked the next day and all was well. when checked the second day not even one nut was there! The crows had taken them all. That was the last year we planted peanuts.😥
My Grandpa grew peanuts successfully just north of Atchison, Kansas. Not someplace you would think they would do well but they did. So excited for you to harvest those peanuts!
Sarah, it was very cool watching you harvest the peanuts. I'm 68yrs and have lived in Michigan all my life. And I have never seen peanuts grow want where. I cant eat peanuts but I think it would be fun growing them. Congrats on your harvest and may God bless.
I noticed Sarah’s boots the other day. I was looking for boots a couple months ago. I ended up with pull on Georgia boots but they are men’s. Maybe Santa can bring us some of these for Christmas. They look fantastic.
I am in NW WA and I have grown peanuts, but not on purpose. We have people that leave out food for the wildlife and we have a pair of squirrels who live in the trees next door who like to bury things in my garden. Well, one of the things people leave out are unshelled peanuts that must be unroasted. I find them buried in the garden beds all the time in the spring when I am planting and throw them out. A couple of years ago I found some weird looking plants growing in the garden when I was clearing the beds in the fall. I pulled them up and lo and behold I must have missed a couple in spring, because I had some peanuts growing. We dried them out, roasted them, and ate them. They were good. We only had a couple handfuls. It was a really hot spring and summer and it was an Indian summer, too. I don't know that they would have been successful, otherwise.
We bought peanut starter kits from the George Washington Carver museum in Diamond Missouri last May. Planted them in our raised beds in upstate NY and got our first peanut harvest this October!! It was fun! Only 4 small plants, but we're saving some to replant for next spring and get a bigger harvest next year!
My grandparents always grew a half acre of peanuts. I loved helping dig them and I love the taste of freshly dug peanuts and the cured raw ones too. I never liked them roasted but the rest of the family loved them roasted over the wood stove that was always lit in the cooler days. I am in central NC.
On a day long, long ago in another century (I'm old now) in SE Texas, my Mom put some peanuts in a flower bed to show us kids how they grow and they did so wonderful that we had peanuts growing back for many years! 😂🤣😂🤣 I guess we never found them all until Mom started recognizing them when they started growing again and yanked them out. We sure had fun when we were kids. Texas Deb ❤️
My brocolli was all really small and never made huge heads. So I just cut all the little ones and right now they are still growing so I'm leaving them to make more! And my squirrels would be feasting on those peanuts! LOL
What a fun harvest! I grew peanuts once but the voles got them. I'm getting a metal raised bed for Christmas (one of several in my future I hope!) and I may have to try peanuts again.
When I was in school ( in the ‘50s, my best friend’s dad planted peanuts. I was so amazed that he did that don’t know how I thought they grew. We lived in town and he turned their backyard into a beautiful garden.
Those silkies are super cute, individual colouring and “hair”. That rooster is gorgeous! I laughed out when you said to the pigs “you look so good” because I then thought of bacon on a plate and gammon steaks. 😄😁😁 it is such a joy watching you both with your animals, also educating gently that some of the farm animals are meat for your family. But oh boy how your beef cows are cute.
Great harvest! You've inspired me to try peanut growing and also the mesh covers for cabbage. This past spring we had flooding rains and my cabbages suffered, which has never happened before. We had an abundance of moth holes in the heads. Love your excitement and God bless!
I've never intentionally planted peanuts, but I give the squirrels and bluejays here raw peanuts in the shell all the time. Of course the squirrels will bury a lot of them and I put a small 3ft x 3ft x 6in raised bed with just dirt for them to bury things so they'd leave MY raised beds alone. It worked perfectly. I would weed it for them so it was easier to bury things and one day last year I saw something growing and did a search to see what it was. It was one of the peanuts they buried! A few more grew too, and surprisingly they didn't dig them up, so I harvested them in the fall and put them all in piles for them to eat or put away for the winter. Did the same thing this year. It's funny because they aren't scared of me and watch me weeding their raised bed and come up to me to take peanuts from my hand. I had 11 of them sitting around me watching me harvest their peanut crop this year. Some they took to their homes in my trees and some they reburied. I never knew you could stick a raw peanut in the shell from the grocery store in the ground and grow loads of peanuts. The squirrels and I are very happy it works!
Marigolds get huge. I'm in VA and once you plant them, you've got them. I dead head mine and save seeds for future use. The dead flower holds tons of seeds.
We are in north Florida. We had a horse farm near Ocala, FL where we had over 400 acres most of it for the horses. However, we had a contract with a peanut farmer and he farmed 110 acres of peanuts. He would always give us a 5 gallon bucket full of peanuts every year.
You have the most wonderful farm stuff to help you grow everything. Beautiful cabbage; Now the peanuts ? I am sharing your enthusiasm. My dad planted peanuts just as an experiment yrs. ago in Vermont, but I never saw the results. He loved larger projects. That was one of dad’s favorite snacks.
Thank you for sharing your life as a homesteaders! :) i have had and great joy to see your videos and learn few and lot of things of homesteading :) even in suburb and block of flats can have tiny little homestead if they like. example rabbit poop is good for the soil as it is and give the enrichment as it needs to grow healthy and strong veggies :) cow manure is too strong to use straight away because it will burn the sprouts because its too strong stuff them them to use it straight :) not every country eat rabbits but we can find good things in everything :) and it gives an experiment to enjoy with kids to see how things grows :) so no need a big farm or flat to do it :) Bless you! Be Blessed! :)
The peanuts did great. I planted some several years ago in the Boonville, Missouri area. They did pretty good, I don't know why I haven't planted them again. It's fun to experience new things.😊
I love your videos, you are both great teachers. I see you are now keeping your breeders rabbits on the ground. When you moved to this property you had a hanging cage setup in the barn side. Why did you decide to go back to ground keeping your breeders? Pros/cons of each? I currently keep my breeders hanging and my grow outs on the ground.

Just make sure you roast those peanuts!! Raw peanuts are gross!!!?
Good information. My husband goes through boots and shoes so fast. I will have to check them out.
Sarah. I would like to suggest that you put your crop onto a painter's cloth. It will help protect your weed barrier from getting dirt all over it. Then you can just pick up the cloth and dust it off.
Peanuts and squirrels? Be careful
@LivingTraditionsHomestead Sarah, can you please tell us the womens style boot you are wearing and if it is lined or unlined? Thank you.

We are couponers and when our grandson was little he would say " cheap is good , but free tastes better.😂

Hi there! Everyone do be a little careful (like I know Sarah is) when moving rabbits with 2x4 wire underneath, make sure they are indeed riding the wire, unfortunately we have had broken legs from not being careful ♥
Oh my, that golden rooster is just beautiful! And those nosy cows, always having to come and check things out. Too funny!

We "grew" some in Southern Indiana, actually the squirrels were hiding them from the blue jays, and they took root

That was so funny, the ducks thought they were going to go clean out the geese’s bowl. The geese let them know they needed to think again.
I am loving this video, Sarah. It has the feel of some of your older videos and it's very nice. Thank you!

Wow so fun. I know what I am going to grow for fun next season.

I love growing peanuts in Arizona . They are a very low maintenance crop.
My grandparents always grew a half acre of peanuts. I loved helping dig them and I love the taste of freshly dug peanuts and the cured raw ones too. I never liked them roasted but the rest of the family loved them roasted over the wood stove that was always lit in the cooler days. I am in central NC.
Congratulations ❤❤ xx
On a day long, long ago in another century (I'm old now) in SE Texas, my Mom put some peanuts in a flower bed to show us kids how they grow and they did so wonderful that we had peanuts growing back for many years! 😂🤣😂🤣 I guess we never found them all until Mom started recognizing them when they started growing again and yanked them out. We sure had fun when we were kids. Texas Deb ❤️
Sarah, You are so kind to God’s creatures. It seems they show love to you in their way. ❤️
Thank you for your video! Here in South Africa peanuts are known as tokomani in the native language. Enjoy!
Wonderful Video on peanut harvest 🥜 Have A Blessed Day !
I am just realizing, I didn’t know how peanuts grow! Sooo many peanuts! Congratulations!
Wonderful and exciting video ❤
Never planted peanuts, but I have fed peanut hay and my horses loved it! I’m in Texas btw.
Homegrown peanuts! How exciting! I have made boiled peanuts in the crockpot. They were delicious!
My brocolli was all really small and never made huge heads. So I just cut all the little ones and right now they are still growing so I'm leaving them to make more! And my squirrels would be feasting on those peanuts! LOL

My grandfather farmed peanuts in Oklahoma! I have hauled tons of peanut hay, man is it heavy!! Your harvest looks great. Thank you for sharing!!
Those silkies are super cute, individual colouring and “hair”. That rooster is gorgeous! I laughed out when you said to the pigs “you look so good” because I then thought of bacon on a plate and gammon steaks. 😄😁😁 it is such a joy watching you both with your animals, also educating gently that some of the farm animals are meat for your family. But oh boy how your beef cows are cute.
What a fun video❤😊
Good Evening! When we lived in Michigan I grew peanuts it's so fun. I made boiled peanuts with mine and it was a fun snack to eat in the winter!
You can never have enough baskets with cabbage like that! Excellent work!
That was awesome, congrats on your peanut harvest. Save some to plant next year. The cabbages looked great. 😊
I thought we'd grown peanuts, but they were a squirrels stash😊
We're in southern illinois, never tried growing peanuts, maybe we'll try.
Great harvest! You've inspired me to try peanut growing and also the mesh covers for cabbage. This past spring we had flooding rains and my cabbages suffered, which has never happened before. We had an abundance of moth holes in the heads. Love your excitement and God bless!

example rabbit poop is good for the soil as it is and give the enrichment as it needs to grow healthy and strong veggies :)
cow manure is too strong to use straight away because it will burn the sprouts because its too strong stuff them them to use it straight :)
not every country eat rabbits but we can find good things in everything :)
and it gives an experiment to enjoy with kids to see how things grows :) so no need a big farm or flat to do it :)
Bless you! Be Blessed! :)
We grew Spanish Peanuts in northern Indiana when I was young.
I grew peanuts for the first time this year. I'm in southeast Missouri. We got a great harvest. We love to boil them.
I grew peanuts years ago in Minnesota. I didn't get near that many!
Wow great peanut harvest. Thanks for taking us along with you. God bless!
I’m excited for you!
The peanuts did great. I planted some several years ago in the Boonville, Missouri area. They did pretty good, I don't know why I haven't planted them again. It's fun to experience new things.😊
Great peanut harvest!
I love your confidence, its refreshing. You are very caring! 😊 you take such great care of your animals.
I grew a few in a raised bed in Pearland Texas but the squirrels kept digging them up and eating before they would have a chance to grow.🙁
great harvest, deb
I love to hear your excitement about your harvest ❤
How cool. I never knew that peanuts grow under the dirt. I guess I thought they grew on trees like pecans.
I'm so happy for you and your peanut harvest. Enjoy!
Nice peanut harvest!!
Peanuts were fun to see didn’t know they had such a high calorie count.
The Peanuts and cabbage turned out awesome!
Peanuts came out perfect, hope you keep growing them. 🥜
I have never grown peanuts but now I want to try! My cabbages are doing good too and i am pretty excited about it as well. 😁
My father used to grow them when I was young probably 60 years ago.
I love your videos, you are both great teachers. I see you are now keeping your breeders rabbits on the ground. When you moved to this property you had a hanging cage setup in the barn side. Why did you decide to go back to ground keeping your breeders? Pros/cons of each? I currently keep my breeders hanging and my grow outs on the ground.
