***** 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 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.

Of course, I just placed an order with MIgardener right before I watched this video! Missed the 10% but I do love supporting small businesses.
I don’t see your electric fence in your Amazon store - did I miss it? Thank you love your videos!
I also use MIGardener's seeds. Luke and his team are amazing and the germination rate is always amazing.
So happy to hear you guys found them! ❤
Gardening has become my favorite hobby. It's rewarding to see the fruits of my labor and share the harvest with friends and family.
I wish we lived close, I would love to volunteer my help/hands to plant and even weed for you guys! (Am I weird because I like to weed beds? Probably so) There is a peacefulness to putting plants in the ground/pots and weeding beds/gardens! Thank you for inspirating me to do more and what to try!
Blessings my friends!
My father in law worked on developing the Crimson Sweet watermelon 60 years ago at Clemson University. After graduation, he became a Clemson County Extension Agent. We grow them every year as it is a fond childhood memory for my husband. Plus they taste SOOOOO GOOD!
I put a table out by the side of the road today and sent 60+ plants to work with my husband as I empty out my greenhouse to make way for new seeds I’m starting. I love giving away plant! Mostly tomatoes - great germination this year - I went to a friend’s house and she BOUGHT the same plants I’m giving away. 😂 I picked up my CSA at the local family owned farm today and their U PICK strawberry patch was filled with families. What a beautiful day! 😊
I love how excited you are this year! With the gourds and the great tomato experiment of 2023! So nice to see this spirit come back into you guys!!!
Being a native Michigander I'm so happy you're growing MiGardener's seeds! I've always had good harvests here in my postage stamp sized garden, and you'll love the purple pod pole beans; being almost 70 it saves a lot of wear & tear on your back come picking time.
MI Gardener invited "Arms Family Homestead" to their "Grand Opening" several years ago and recorded it for You Tube. This young man started his business in his basement and backyard. Its quite a special man and wife. Hope you enjoy it. Sara, like you and Kevin, techers of gardening.
Arms family no longer does gardening.
Thank you. I will look for MI Gardener.
I quit watching, and unsubscribed from Arms Family Homestead UA-cam videos because he is such a racist and bigot. He is a hateful person!!!!!
This is my first year growing with MI Gardener seeds and I LOVE them so far! I had always gone with Baker Creek before and last year the germination rate was awful for almost everything. My MI Gardener seeds had wonderful germination and the plants have all done exceptionally well. ♥️♥️♥️
Once the beans grow up the trellis, you will love the ease of picking. Just a small tip, put the cattle panel up higher. Most of the pole beans I've grown get pretty tall and they flop over the top into a jungle-y mess, even when the top of the panel was 6-1/2' ft +/- up. Did make a nice shady spot to pick beans though. Can't wait to see how beautiful your garden is as it grows. Good luck
I agree; some of my pole beans grow around 10 feet tall...
I'd say bend the cattle panel over next time, so the bean tops are still reachable without a ladder! I'm 5ft 2inches. While I'm grateful when pole beans start up, so I can stop crawling around picking bush beans. There is a bit of a forethought situation for those out of reach top jungles, if I don't give another route!
We've been growing pole beans since the mid 70's and purple ones for several years. Really like them.
Needed to hear this today. I'm challenged by a decision and asked for the wisdom to make it from the father God. I need to go for a walk! Thank you!
Love all your gardening ideals, miss seeing all your animals. Love your channel !!!
What a delight to see you this planting the garden. It's definitely motivational for me to do what i can to grow even a bit of my own food. It's about time for me to go to the local farmers market to buy produce. I'm so impressed by the way you work together to get all your chores done. At 70, with my hubby physically unable to help any more, i do have to limit my efforts, but i can still do some. Thanks so much for the video. I appreciate the work and efforts you put into the videos you post.
Love Luke’s videos. Such an energetic and upbeat human. Love it when our favorites UA-camrs work together. Btw have you seen Danny’s Danny corn field on their new property? It’s starting to look like trees!
That Danny corn has grown like crazy for sure!
Love that you got your seeds from MI Gardener! Both of your channels are in my top 5 favorite gardening subscriptions! ❤
You guys and Luke from Migardener channel could do a great youtube video! You are all so knowledgable and teachable which makes you good teachers.
Your teamwork is impeccable. I wish you wonderful success this growing season. Thank you.
You both are amazing! Such hard workers! We don't have the same weather as you but your information on each plant is so helpful. Living in the Okanagan Valley in BC, Canada has a bit different challenges with weather but we are learning more and more each year. God bless you folks in all you do! May it be the best growing season yet. Psalm 1. ❤️🙏
AMIN !
Monte Gusto Beans. Yellow pole beans. Easy to see. Very tender, extra long, tasty bean. ( not yard long) Great fresh or canned. Makes wonderful dilly
beans. & an heirloom.
Soak your bean seeds a couple of hours before planting and germination is quicker and greater percentage.
Those beans are going to get over 7 ft tall, you might want to raise that panel up ! I grow these every year and love them !!
Looking good god bless you two
I love the purple beans. They turn green when cooking - a darker green than regular green beans and the flavor is different a bit more intense. My favorite.
Migardener is my goto seed provider. I have been binge watching Lukes videos recently to plant corn and strawberries new this year. My bare root strawberries and horseradish are on their way😊
Thanks for teaching us how to plant in garden fabric.
Your soil is dead. You are correct that it takes years (3 actually) to create a living organism called soil. It will be impossible using fabric because the plastic disrupts the microbiome cycle. We all make our own choices in how we garden, so if what you are doing is working good enough for you, then so be it. However, for those who wish to grow more nutrient rich vegetables, I will suggest reading up on how to create living soil. When your soil is alive you will no longer need a drill, even with the stones.
It is warming to feel your excitement about planting your garden! 😃
My garden is being planted in drips and drabs because I recently had hernia surgery. I did some planting before the operation and my adult kids are doing the rest. I too am looking forward to a month from now!
It's always good to hear the roosters in the background!
Happy gardening everyone!
Thanks for sharing with us Kevin and Sarah, you got the garden in and starting to grow. Lord willing and weather permitting you folks will have a fantastic harvest this year too. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and sharing the fun you have around your homestead. Fred.
Love you guys! Thank you for sharing your lives with us...🤗
I don't know why I love watching you guys working so hard. But, I do! The outdoor garden, like everything else you do, looks terrific. Great job!
Thank you second year for my Woven weed and and my auger love them
I have been growing purple pole beans for over a decade and they are the only beans I would ever plant. Good choice guys, I think you will be happy with your purple pole beans. Love the color of green they turn into once they start cooking.
Thank you so much for giving MIgardener seeds a try!! I think you are going to be very pleased with the results!! Luke grows a great garden and I love his no nonsense approach to gardening (I learned alot about gardening from the MIgardener channel). The MIgardener company also takes very good care of their employees!! I would love to see you two do a video with Luke and Sindy!! James Prigioni (with his Yorkie dog Tuck) is another great gardening channel!! I can't wait to see how your garden does this year!!
Just wanted to say you guys look awesome and super healthy!
So nice to sit in my chair with a cup of coffee and watch you work! Just can’t do that anymore.
PS: I love Kevin's funny shirts! Always a giggle.
Don't forget the rabbit pellets in the hole!! Are we still using rabbit poop??Yay!!
Can we get monthly garden review?!? Love this
As I shiver through winter here now in Northern Tasmania, I am living vicariously through y"all.
When living in maryland growing up My mom raised rabbits and she always used rabbit crap in her flower garden. It works great! Me I just move to southern missouri last september and I have found atleast where I live the ground is not that great. SO i have started with a small garden and bought warms to plant in my garden and raised beds. hoping for the best
Rocky ground is the best ground to grow in. You can grow anything in it. Stays good and aireated.
Beit (pronounced *bait*) Alpha performed well in our SE Kansas garden last year; despite the insane heat and drought. In the past, they have also held up very well to heavy pest and disease pressure. They're a great choice!
I just harvested and pulled all my brassicas here in NE OKLAHOMA
I grew the Beit Alpha cucumbers last year and had great success. Very productive and delicious. Hopefully, they do just as well for you all!
Job well done!
💝💖💝Looking forward to seeing your garden grow and flourish. Thank you for including us in your planting of the garden! Take care! ❇❇❇
The artist & gardener on me loves the idea of growing gourds!! I can hardly wait to see how this goes!
That garden looks fantastic!!
We have rocky soil here in Ohio, I always cover my beans with a potting mix to germinate. Works wonderful.
I also live in Ohio, have issues with clay and rocks, and I use potting mix in my garden. Not only does the garden grow beautifully but the mix also makes weeding and tilling so much easier.
Looking mighty fine. MIGardner has some great seeds. Love them.
Gords... I discovered your channel during the Luffa harvest.
Love seeing your garden going in. I've found a lot of new varieties from watching your videos. Loved the idea of using the auger in the bean holes!
We've got another frost advisory again tonight. Covering the garden for the 3rd Wednesday night in a row.
MIgardener are amazing. I get all my seeds from them. Great germination, great prices, great customer service, and free shipping on orders $12 and up.
Wonderful video, looking forward to seeing how it all grows this year. You got so much done!

Purple podded pole beans are my favorite. Pick the young and frequent. You will have more beans than you could ever imagine!
I love that cucumber variety, . Verrryyyyy prolific here in Oregon, despite a very cold and wet June, they didn't get in the ground until July and we had a hottt summer all thru October. Off of 6 plants, I got around 60+ lbs. It was crazy!!!
We are big fans of purple podded pole beans. We use bean towers to grow our beans. Wishing you good luck with yours.
I am not a big fan of Clemson spineless. I grew them for years but I discovered that other varieties stay tender much longer so I've been planting Stewart's zeebest and a few others.
Good morning 🙏😊
I love watching your garden progress! You always give good directions and ideas. Thank you
Have a blessed week 🙏
I can’t wait to see your garden evolve😃!
Thank you for sharing your garden skills with us. I wish I could have that much space, use to but age has slowed me down. Can't wait to see how everything does. God's blessings
Luke's seeds & Live plants are AMAZING ❤
Beatiful garden! I love Beit Alpha cucumbers - my favorite variety
God Bless you two as well!
It always makes my day getting to watch what you guys are up to. Thank you for teaching all of us as you go.
We are try to get every space filled in our garden. We had to took a 12 hr drive to Alabama for a graduation. We are from Missouri. Today as we were coming to the Ava exit on interstate, we thought of you guys. We missed the chance this year to meet you guys at the Ava Farmer's Market. Hope we can meet you guys soon.
Love to see your efforts in gardening. Love your channel.
WOW, I am jealous. I used to eat Louisiana purple pod pole beans at my Grandmas house back in MS. I am hoping to buy some property in a year or two and that will be on the list to grow. You will love them. Good Job guys!
Here in NW Arkansas, we’ve got the same rocky soil. We also plant our tomatoes with a drill auger. We no longer till. That just brings up rocks and weeds. We are using cardboard as weed Brock and cover with mulch, wood chips and spoiled hay. Good luck!
Planting is exhausting and so rewarding. Thank you for taking us with you
And God Bless
Great teaching team as always, thank you Kevin and Sarah for your videos, we love y’all, be well and safe ❤
I also used the auger to drill the holes and worked so well.
I feel it fluffs up the soil around for the roots to really thrive.
MI Gardener seeds always do exceptionally well for me here in the suburbs of KCMO. Everything except the jalapenos and peppers don't ever reach the fully ripe stage but when I get those from other sources they do. Everything else does well. Im growing beit alpha this year too. Hope they do well!
Kevin, you might want one of those extra handles on your drill when you use the auger, especially with rocky soil. 😊
I also can’t wait for your garden to grow.
It is so uplifting to see your excitement at planting your garden! Gardening brings such joy!
Another exciting, garden adventure! 🤗
Best of luck with 2023 garden
New plants are always exciting. Good luck and God bless.
Sooo, I see you are putting a cattle panel down for your purple green beans. You may want to consider raising your cattle planes up about 1 1/2 ‘ on your t posts, to give a little more height. The running green beans really grow tall. We always raise our panels, and have great success. The plants don’t really put on great runners, until they are almost a foot tall, so we just thread the ones that don’t take to the cattle panel, and they take off! They are easier to pick! The purple is great! My grandma was planting purple beans for 70ish years (as far back as my dad can remember), and the seeds have been passed down! My grandma always called them “magic” beans, because they changed colors when cooked! They are the best!
Also…..as far as okra go….try cow horn okra! It’s amazing! It is great freeze dried to go in different things, with seasoning for snacks, and we even fry it, and then freeze fry it! It is oh….so good. Of course the fried wouldn’t store as long, but we have had it stored a couple years, and it is so yummy for snacks or to have with a meal! Good luck in all you do!
Finally got my Jett Star tomatoes to grow good this year! Looking forward to tasting them. I also have Paul Robeson, Roma, Beefsteak & Triple L tomatoes growing too!
Wow. Watching you drill the wholes. That IS rocky soil. We're in sand country here, digging is easy-peasy.
Love your Ozark mountain blue grass music. Very appropriate for your Ozark homestead. Thanks for sharing your hard work. You inspire so many to grow their own.
I do about the same way with my row covers but with a high tensile strapping material my husband gets off of the job site from the electricians feeding their wire. I just use it as a tie wrap before the staple at the end. I also use the bendable wire from the drop ceilings that are extra as the hoop for the row cover. I was growing lettuce until 12/21 of last year
Great video as always. Can’t wait to see those decorative gourds. Praying God blesses you with a wonderful growing season.
I'm growing bird house gourds this year.
They need lots of room.
You must have great soil.
great tip for putting a knot at the end. 🙏👍🌻
Those brassicas look awesome ! You guys rock👍🏻
Before you put that hoop over the broccoli and cauliflower did you check under the leaves to see that they haven't already layed eggs?
I'm a gardener in Iowa. Grew up gardening and farmers market on the Stritesky centry farm closest to my house. We baked and took produce etc every saturday.
I'd like to get started on youtube but don't know where to begin. If you guys could do a how to on getting started making garden vids I'd greatly appreciate it. I fish, hunt, and garden and would love to start a channel but need direction. There are a bunch of cheesy 'how to" videos but i'd rather learn from salt of the earth people, like you, instead of people trying to make a career out of it. Thanks! Been a fan for years and just shared this garden vid on twitter. You guys are amazing and thank you so much for teaching me so much.
I have to change up the spot where I grow tomatoes and the soil isn't the greatest there. But what you said about your soil, and knowing that your plants have still thrived, gives me much more hope! (It helped just to SEE the soil you're planting in, which looks like mine! I have to remember that in-ground is very different from a raised bed!)
God Bless
I use an auger as well. MO rocks can be a wrist breaker, but certainly saves a lot of struggle.
I always love your gardens💞 God bless.
Praying God blesses your garden. I would love a list of everything you've planted.

Thank you!
Thank you 😊 I was a little worried. My tomatoes got a little tall on me but after watching your video today it gave me peace of mind that they will be ok. The weather has been a little wet in my part of the woods. Finally getting a break today…so I plan to plant everything out this morning. 😊
Silver Cucumbers are the best they are crisp taste delicious and don't die back in mid summer. Had cucumbers into Oct from spring planting
Pickling cukes are the best for flavor. Pick them little. Delicious.
Love you guys! God bless you
Hemp CBD oil Salve is great for sunburn relief!
So glad you mentioned MIGardener !!!! I’ve been using his seeds for about four years now. Almost exclusively. I also have been using almost all of your techniques in the garden, weed fabric , drip system …. It all ways comes out beautiful !! THANK YOU GUYS !!
Great job happy growing
With comments on YT Next Level Gardening - the reason why bugs come is that flatlander gardening actually makes big and inviting bug targets. Garden airport flight lines (crop rows) make for a singular long line of smell-aroma inviting those bugs (cabbage maggot, cabbage moths) et al buggers to come, land, and chew on the invitational vegs. The same for clear land around singular large plants (melons, squash et al) being a huge singular bug target for landing and chewing on. While it seems contra-indication - plant multiple vegs, and herbs into 4x4 or 6x6 areas that can all be physically reached into from the surrounding walkway - almost looking like a very-compacted medieval monastic herbarium of various heights and varieties of plants (which is what it is !). This covers up the singular smell of carrots or cabbages, or squash et al, ... as roots crops, leafy vegs, herbs, corn stalks, viney vegs, all contradict those singular smell targets. So planting4-8 carrots and other root crops (beets, turnips, salsify, rutabagas) , along with 1-2 potato, tomato, chili, pepper, eggplant (solanides), herbs of various strong smells (marigolds et al), and colorful flowers (nasturtiums - bee pollinator targets), corn, squash ... lettuce et al leafies, ... solves these bug problems. Corn supports the vines (cucumbers, squash, nitrogen-fixing beans). Yes it means selective harvesting of more carrots or vegs through more veg/herb blocks (and this is NOT square foot gardening technology which is also a bug taget) - but you won't have bug problems (cost of pesticides, insecticide etc). and compacted veg/herb blocks have easier composting and manure tea fertilization than spraying across a vast area of gardening. Super-compaction is more-cost effective and less total cost (labor, sweat, blood, tears) for one's gardening needs. And doing successional harvesting ... and successional planting and harvesting of later veg/herb blocks allow you to properly harvest the first blocks and eventually harvest them out, while transerring to the later successional blocks. One then can successional plant these first blocks, while the other blocks remain productive. More productivity, more polination, more harvesting, more produce in less space. Less irrigation of flatlander space as well.
