    I get so incredibly excited while watching your videos ! I am half Apache decent and I cherish my culture with everything I have ! I also cherish all ethnic groups of the earth , and all the different varieties that those ethnicities have grown over history ! I get so shaken with emotions , jealousy , excitement, etc whenever I see your videos of native gardening .. I’m not too well off , and face many problems such as addiction , poverty , respiratory problems, family problems, and way to much too explain .. I have tried gardening , but rarely have time to on top of my job , and taking care of my mother with cancer .. I’ve grown corn , beans , tomatoes , sweet and regular potatoes , and tomatillos . I’ve had succes with everything I’ve named , but I stopped last year due to the reasons I named .. I’d love to email you and just ask a few questions in private .

    Hi, Shawn. Nice video! A couple more Native American varieties to consider include Haudenosaunee Skunk (aka Iroquois Skunk)Bean and Cornhill Bean. I grew the Skunk Bean back in 2015. It is a good one! Both varieties are available from EDIBLE ANTIQUES up in Canada. Kate

    Thanks for posting this. I have raised the Anisazi bean and it’s very good. Trying a few other native type seeds this year. I know my grandparents raised crops that the seed had been handed down for several generations. When World War 2 ended a lot of young men did not return to the farm life and family strains of seeds were lost forever. That’s what happened in our family. Men went to work in factories and the seeds were lost.

    Hello Shawn, I've been enjoying your native crops series. I live near Astoria, some of these plants we've grown too. I've been growing painted mountain, which is I think a mix of several native varieties, I sure get a mix of appearances. I made hominy with some of last year's crop. I didn't get good separation of the husks, but it did turn to masa. If you're not familiar with using lime with corn, I suggest you look into it if you're going to make corn a big part of your diet. I live in a fairly marginal area for corn, the beans do well here, just later than to the east. I'll probably try some of the beans you've mentioned, sounds fun.

      Also, keep shade on your ground, if you have solar grow under the panels in the shade. Ditch pots, even with all the water they turn into steam baths and cook the roots.

    Just found three large beans on the garden path, Now I have never grown beans before but these look fun. And I say this because I haven't found what type of bean it is as of yet... It looks like a huge kidney bean along with the color, only the root area comes from the top instead of the side. 🤔 quite fascinating being the amount of variety out there. Who knows at this rate they might even be Jacks beans 🤣😮😂 Will we finally find them golden eggs 🤔 oh No, by passing the giant that smells the blood of an English man 🤣😮😂 whatever they are the little ones are delighted and can't wait for the next part of the story 🤣😮😆😂

    Most seeds IF, and that's a big IF, properly dried and properly stored, last many years, I mean YEARS.
    Stored away from light, heat, humidity, bugs, rodents.
    Seeds have been found in earthen vessels deep in caves.
    Also in Pharoah's tombs, oh just a few thousand of years old, and sprouted just fine. We know them today as ancient grains. Some breakfast cereals are made with said ancient grains.
