***** 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.

In case you're interested, a 'scrap' of old vinyl tablecloth under the flat that is being filled will catch whatever spills over, then picking up the corners is simple to pour the dirt back into the bin.
It’s just not a big deal to me ☺️
That's a good idea, I'm not a fan of sweeping up haha
@jeannefoguth, I know, for me this is a good idea. I would be tracking, even a little on the floor, all over the house.
@@diannevaldez8670 My potting area is outside (we live in Florida, so don't need a heated area), but my 'assistants' are 2 snoopy cats and if I took the time to sweep up, they'd have my mess everywhere, including tracked into the house, by the time I grabbed my dustpan, which is how I dealt with this issue prior to figuring out using a scrap of vinyl..
@@ArtByKarenEHaley Me, either!. I also use flexible cutting boards in the kitchen, for the same basic reason.
Long time viewer. Just bought your seed starting cheat sheets. I've made something more basic over the years but these are great. I encourage every viewer to buy these. Very inexpensive considering the amount of time needed to put them together. Very useful. Come on people. Support the channel. Buy the cheat sheets. Dan from Canada.
Thank you ☺️
Bought them last year.
Unable to find the cheat sheets to order😢
I couldn't find them.

MIGardener gave some great information on lighting: Minimum 2000 Lumens (the more the better) and Minimum 5000 Kelvins (ideal 6500k). I found a shop light at Walmart for $14 that met those requirements. :)
Something that a stratification requirement tells me is that the seeds can be winter sown. I use the method that Luke from MIgardener demonstrated with plastic milk/water jugs, and it has been a game changer for my seed starting success!
LOL! If nasturtiums needed stratification I wouldn't be pulling up hundreds of volunteer sprouts in my CA garden. 😅
Sarah, you could get a plastic concrete tray and place your 1020 trays in it to fill, and you WILL NEVER have to sweep the soil from the floor.
Not a big deal to me.
I use a big tote!
@@myberryownhomestead764 Great idea, I try to work wisely. Time is a precious gift!
I just have an old 40g Tupperware that I mix my soil in and just fill the trays IN it. 🤷♀️ any spillage or ovrrflow just goes right back in the bin.
I use croissant boxes as domes and small yoghurt cups to start seeds.
I use a sharp knife to poke some holes in the cups and it works real good.
I use a plastic syringe to water every day.
Good morning, well i did not know a lot of the information you gave! This is why we need people like you and your family to give us hands on information. Thank you
Thanks Sarah, I bought your cheat sheet and I am so ready to start my seeds😊 I still have a while before I can. Its maple syrup time and I am tapping trees and cooking down sap😊
I had an idea for a dibble tool for your seed trays! Cut a piece of 1/4 inch plywood to the size of the seed start trays, mark the plywood so there’s a grid to guide, then screw in a short screw leaving 1/4 inch proud of the board (either poking through the back, or on the screw-in side), one at the center of each cell. Then when you have dibble time, you set the tool over the tray, give a little wiggle, then all 72 are done! If you use round head screws, you could have one side 1/4 inch and the other side a shallow dent for herbs that need a shallower sow for sprouting.
Great idea.
I need a video of this
With all your responsibilities of animals, garden and home, you still take the time or make the time to compile these seed starting sheets which I greatly appreciate. I had the old sheets and just purchased your new ones.
You can make humidity frames (e.g. to replace broken plastic domes) out of quarter or half inch hardware cloth. Cover with saran wrap, and glue down saran wrap at the edges with water film out of a spray bottle.
I started my herbs here in Michigan. The past week, the beautiful, warm sunshine we’ve had has really helped things sprout. Thank you for sharing your seed cheat sheet.
I bought the cheat sheet last year and completely forgot until this video. Printing it now. Thank you for offering this!
Good morning Sarah!🙏😊. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos and learn from you. I tried starting some seeds last year but I didn’t have good results. I’m going to give it a try again.
Thank you
Have a blessed week 🙏
I have the bottom trays that I can add water. I never water from the top. But I may get the humidity tray. I don't know, I'm in Florida.
My prayers are with your family
You used to be big proponents of Baker Creek seeds and I don’t think I’ve heard you mention them at all this year. I believe you even toured their facility.
I think they might have had a falling out with them.
@@cynthiafisher9907 😮
I'm first -time viewer, and I learned a lot from this video...now I know why my herb seeds didn't sprout. Thank u for your time...
Rosemary takes a really long time to grow in my experience, I saved 1 to over winter inside and am rooting cuttings now.
I got your seed cheat sheets last year, it has been the most helpful tool in my garden planning! Thank you for doing these, now if you could make the rest of my life this easier 🤭
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for doing all this work on the cheat sheets for us!!! I went and purchased and printed immediately, before I even finished watching the video!! This is going to make planting so much more convenient and quicker for me. I hated having to pick seeds, look up the info ( seed pkgs don't help as much as they should ) and plant for every single pkg. You made all the notes for me !!!!!!!! I'm so excited to use this!!
I watch every video. I even go back to watch urll videos for info when we had bunnies. Thanks for your help even tho you don't know it. ❤
I noticed the last 2 years that milkweed is the only one i have problems with germination without cold stratification. Im trying to cold stratisfy them this year AND ive planted some in starting mix. Its an experiment. ❤ I agree with you on what you are saying. Never had a problem with the others.😍
Thank you dear Sister Sarah. God Bless you all in Love. Prayers. Maranatha ! ( shared to f/b )
Great video and great advice. Now, I have bought packets of different veggies that have never done well. One thing that seems to work better for me is that I use the seeds from something I bought from grocery store and done well. Plus the seeds are free ! Throw them in starting bed and bam !
I am also starting all those goodies right now, thank you for the tips! Have a blessed day ❤
Sarah, Thank you so much for sharing this helpful tutorial! All the information you shared will help me. You look so happy planting your seeds!
I am so ready for spring to be here. Thank you for all the planting instructions.
I really enjoy your videos. Your information has helped me with my garden. Thanks and keep them coming.
Love the seed starting videos thank you so much
Thank you for the cheat sheets! That is so helpful!
Those little seed bags are SO CUTE! Tell Kevin "Well Done!" Heading over to check them out right now!
Great information. Very well explained. Thank you!
I LOVE the seed bags! Great video. Thanks, Sarah.
Thanks Sarah 🙂
Thanks for sharing, Sarah! I grow vicariously through you! Moving from MN to Louisiana has completely thrown me off, and excessive traveling has made growing hard. Hoping to get some direct sowing done soon in my vertical gardens. I love watching your seedling grow up almost as much as I enjoy coming along for animal chores. ❤
Love this time of year and watching you seed start. Such good info. Love the cheat sheets!
I found Stevia to be the most difficult to grow out of all of the ones you listed. I finally decided to start it in coir only and it germinated under the hanging grow lights. Stevia has a low germination rate. Once it popped, I used some fish emulsion, and it grew 1.5 inches and stopped for growing for about 2 weeks. If it grew, I didn't see it. I mixed some fine soil with cow manure, and it took off. It now about 12 inches and still growing. I'm going to take cuttings to start more. I don't water it much, but I do monitor the moisture with a gauge. It was my first time growing it. I can't wait to try it which will also be new for me. I'm going to start Chamomile and St. John's wart. I also got mine from MIGardener.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Thank you for reminding me that I purchased your wonderful seed starting sheets! I live further north than you, but this is a great reminder to get organized so that when the time is right, everything is ready to go.
I've found it handy to get a large low plastic tray to set the seedling flats into when filling with potting mix. Saves a lot of clean up and any spillage into the low tray can be added back into the potting soil bucket.
I know -- any sort of plastic sheeting under the tray would make cleanup so much easier
Great information Sarah, thanks, be well and safe, much love to all ❤
Thank you for all that you share ... I've just ordered your Seed Starting Cheat Sheet, many thanks for sharing. All the best to you all.

Great video. Thank you for selling your cheat sheets.
Lovely grow room.
I use your "cheat sheet" frequently. Thank you for putting it together.
You need to put down a small tarp under your trays to make clean up much easier. I enjoy your channel so much.
Excellent video and very helpful information on herbs. I bought you cheat sheet!
Love seeing the Sprout home complete with sign.

Thank you!
Great video! Thanks. I have my cheat sheet and thanks again!
Thank you from The Netherlands
Thanks for the tip on the humidity domes. I think that was the big difference in my success my first year gardening vs last year.
I just bought your cheat sheets! They are great! I know I will be relying on them for my herbs and flowers this year for sure, and for years to come!
i bought my cheat sheet last year,its fantastic so easy to follow,i am a long term watcher of the homestead brilliant always great videos thanks.
Love the sprout house! Always exciting time of year
Thank you for the brilliant Starting Seeds Cheat Sheet. It will make life easier than looking up individual seeds as I sometimes throw away packets. Ulla from England
I love the little seed packet. I'm going to use some to store small embroidery projects. God bless and stay safe.
I started celery here in Northern Michigan this week. Herbs will be next week. Thanks for the encouragement.
I’m getting my hands back in the dirt this year. Your videos are so helpful. I purchased the pdf’s and they are life savers for me. I’ve got my first trays started! It’s so fun seeing them sprout and grow! Thanks for all you do! ❤️🌱
I never remember year to year how each seed needs to be started. That cheatsheet sounds useful.
Thank you Sarah-- I planted my herb seeds today. I used my " cheat sheet" which made planting very easy.
That bag is cute. Liked this video. Can’t wait for the farmer’s market. I will be buying those sheets, I have a spreadsheet but I like the info you put on yours.
Thankyou for this video very helpful.
I just purchased your seed starting cheat sheet. I have been enjoying fresh yogurt everyday since you told us an easy efficient way to make it. Thank you.
We have had a hard time with herbs. Also we got your cheat sheet a few yrs ago. I enjoy your videos.
I recommend a small tarp to use under tray when you put in soil. I just bought one and it’s so awesome for clean up lol.
Thank you for sharing your information, I have a cheat sheet it's very helpful 😊.
Former professional grower here and here’s some additional information about stratification. Very few seeds need to be exposed to freezing or below temperatures to trigger dormancy naturally. Stratification is the act of placing seeds in a period dormancy that IS required for some seeds before they can successfully germinate. Just the act of drying and properly storing seeds in a cool dry place for the winter season is enough to put them in their dormant state. Freezing seeds is only necessary for common seeds if you want to plant earlier and they haven’t had their period or dormancy. The notion is that the very cold temps will “trick” seeds into believing they have been dormant more time than they actually were. For the home gardener you generally would not need to ever worry about doing this.
I Love seed starting videos
Plant parsley in one of your large cattle tubs and just let it go to seed in the summer. Seeds will fall and you will have more parsley than you know what to do with. Collect some of the seeds and you can start approximately 1000 parsley plants each year. (Parsley is my favorite 'weed'.)
Found them on the website, thanks! I will be purchasing too.
You need a concrete mixing tub (Home Depot $8 or more depending on the size) to put in your trays to fill soil. Then, the soil falls into your tub and then you put overflow soil back into your soil bin. Also, prevents contamination from the surface contact and then putting back into bin to contaminate the fresh soil.
Sarah, thanks for all the information! Being new to this area, I am watching closely at what you do. I don't have consistent electricity to start seeds like you do, so for some things, like stevia, I will be a customer for sure! Happy gardening, and many blessings. Texas Deb ❤️
It is great to watch and learn. I also purchased many of my seeds from MIGardner and started my seeds last weekend. I had germination within 4 days with some of the seeds. I don't have an out-building to start my seeds, so I invested in some shelving units with lights to help, and along with the blended seed starting mix, I am thrilled with how things are coming along. Some seeds are reaching the top of the plastic, and it is not even a week. Until we can go outside into the greenhouse (NH) our house will look ALIVE!! Plus, w/prayer and work, all things have the potential to thrive. Blessings!!
