***** 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.

My grandmother used to make a relish from end of season veggies called chow chow. The main ingredients were green tomatoes and peppers. It was delicious.
Yeah we can actually get chow chow from the local IGA surprisingly
Ii love chow chow
Chow Chow is the best 👌
I'm 77 and still remember my grandmother making chow chow. We ate it on our fresh cooked pinto beans. Yum yum.
Unfortunately, no one ever asked her for her recipe or cared 😢
I have a recipe if you'd like it.
Good Evening! It's always bitter sweet in fall but definitely love that it's a time to reflect over all the hard work and food prep that happened over the harvest!
I put our green tomatoes on a table in the spare room and cover with newspaper. They slowly ripen. We will have fresh tomatoes through December!
After canning 300 quarts of tomatoes for her large family of 9 children, my mom would use the green tomatoes and end of season peppers, to make green tomato relish. It's a favorite of almost every one of us grown children! We eat it with roast and with scrambled eggs! It's a must have! Every season one of us makes a big batch, and shares it with the rest of us. The next season another sister makes a batch to share. Once you try it, it becomes a staple. You could use your sugar substitute instead of sugar. Google a recipe for green tomato relish. You won't be sorry!
Winter is Gods cleanser
For green tomatoes, I like to make salsa verde. I’ve made the recipe from NCHFP, The Ball Book and The All New Ball Book. The roasted salsa verde in The All New Ball Book is now my favorite. I also made/canned the Chicken Verde in that book. I use the salsa to make green enchiladas and Green Chili.
I can't wait for spring and the new raised bed garden, I love this channel.
I love these people
❤❤
We had our first snow yesterday! 🌨️❄️ Really enjoyed our beautiful fall weather up to that point. Greetings from southern Alberta, Canada. 🇨🇦
I'm surprised you got any of those cherry tomatoes in your box. I saw Kevin snacking. You will have so much fun this winter planning your spring garden.
lol, I was wondering whether he was counting (so he’d have an accurate count of carbs for the day).
Hi Kevin & Sarah! I live here in Iowa about an hours drive south of Des Moines. And we still have not had a frost yet. My garden is still producing but it's about done for the year. My egg plants are reblooming and so are the tomato plants due to 80 degree weather the last week and 70 degree weather since then. Today it's 67 degrees (10/25/20) and we are expecting 30's & 40's next week. So I guess I have to get my plants pulled before we get snow. Love, Light & Blessings to all!
Ah fall, the time of year that you feel the nesting/squirreling instinct to save food back and get ready for winter😊😊
I really love watching these videos, please don't stop making them, they're so refreshing😊
We pick all of our green tomatoes and put them in paper bags or boxes. They will ripen slowly and you can eat on them for months to follow.
I’m so thankful this was shared! It helped me!
Thank you for sharing this! I don't think many people know this trick.
I like kevins shirt ! Yall both are beautiful people Love the channel !Stay sweet and God bless
I grew a pepper this year called Holy Mole! It's the type of pepper used to make mole sauce. I didn't end up getting enough at one time from my one plant to make mole sauce, but I'll definitely be growing more next year. The mole peppers are not very spicy and have a rich, complex flavor. Another of my favorite peppers to grow is Poblano (also called Ancho peppers). I love to make stuffed peppers with Poblanos or simply roast them the same as you do sweet red peppers, peel the skin off and use for anything you would use roasted sweet peppers. They are mild heat pepper as well.
Good morning guys. Nice last harvest. I was wondering if you could give us a autumn update on all the animals? Take care and God Bless❤️
I LOVE watching your videos, I love the fact that you're Believers in Christ, and that you're so productive. Good job and God bless!!
Maybe you guys should produce a book, booklets, classes, videos series for Homesteaders & viewers expressing ur insights & working programs of all areas of a homestead concerning simplistic order & appealing set ups. How to set things up for the most fluent flow, “curb” appeal, storage of necessary items as well as surplus or off season supplies, etc.
So many UA-cam Homesteads are a mess. Junk everywhere, so much is dirty and stored in overgrown weeds. Ur Homestead looks groomed, clean & a strong sense of planned order. I think homesteaders would love ur insights, ideas & maybe videos concerning these different topics. A Book on this subject might sell well & prove very lucrative for you as well. Kinda the behind the scenes to establish a well organized, fluent, clean orderly Homestead.
Some UA-cam homesteaders want to be a business & or also provide Air B & B - I can’t imagine w/the unattractive mess of so many homesteads.
🌺Love it Tomato Whisperer 😂, great shirt! Such a great end of season harvest. Green tomato salsa is VERY good!
Wow, what a great harvest. Some folks make a green tomato salsa using them similar to tomatillos. Thanks for taking us along. ❤
Yes!
Great video and harvest. Hate to see the tomato and pepper season end but gives us something to dream about over the winter.
Wonderful ! Thank you Kevin & Sarah. Prayers. God Bless you all in Love. Maranatha ! ( shared to f/b )
Ys ,Great progress , Thanks to Jesus & Mary . Always stay Blessed you Both.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I planted about 8 green beans on my cattle pannel trellace they're still pumping out some beans and I have a freezer full by far the most productive thing I grew this year!
Darran and I have learned so much from watching your videos over the last several years. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with your community. God bless!❤
I make green tomato mincemeat for pies and tarts. Also my husband makes green tomato chips in the dehydrated with a little oregano. Good healthy snack. He often does it with ripe tomatoes too.
So hard to believe it’s now the end of the growing season!
Looking forward to next season already!
Just such a pleasure to watch this video. I love that you said it's time to just enjoy all the things you've worked for this season. It's like exhaling after a long season's work. thanks for sharing! 💜
I always enjoy your content. At first glance I didn't think there was much left to harvest but you surprised me. Very nice last pepper harvest. Take care. ♥️♥️♥️😊
I tried a second planting of zucchini, but the squash bugs still annihilated them. I direct seeded a few more, but they never had enough time to grow and fruit. Unfortunately, they were my last saved seeds, so I'm going to have to buy zucc seeds for next Spring.
I picked all my mature green tomatoes and put them in paper bags. They were the most uniformly colored of all the tomatoes I harvested this years, and they all ripened. So put your green tomatoes in paper bags and they will ripen. You'll have home grown fresh tomatoes for Thanksgiving.
My grandmother would wrap each green tomatoes in news paper and place in bushel basket we would have ripe tomatoes for thanksgiving and Christmas ❤
You can keep your green tomatoes in house, and allow them to ripen. You’ll have fresh tomatoes during first part of the winter
I’ve done this the last couple of years too
Works great!
We are just about 3 hours north of you and I was out harvesting everything yesterday also. The freeze is coming. It is a bittersweet feeling. I sure do love my garden but I need the break.
Love your channel and I have learned so much. It is surprising how much we do the same things.
I keep hoping to run into you all. God bless
A+ Content .... The Greenhouse is providing big benefits (!!)
My family takes all the green tomatoes with no skin cuts, and lines them up in large flat boxes, covered with newspaper or more cardboard, stored in a cool dry place. The to.atoes will ripen over a period of time, you ca have fresh tomatoes for another month or two.
If you like dill pickles, use your green tomatoes in place of cucumbers. I have eaten sweetened ones and they are good but the dill are my favorites. We used to have a fish restaurant and the pickled tomatoes were always on the table. I made some years ago and gave my brother and his wife ate the whole quart on their way home! I didn’t think they were ready to eat!!
Yes, ready or not! I will be making the final pickings in the greenhouse on Friday here in central Kansas. Beginning Sunday, we will be quite winterish here. 'Tis the season! Love your channel!!
Excellent post! Can’t wait to see the new garden next year! All those raised beds😊
The past 2 summers when the cucumbers were in abundance, I made the cucumber lime aid that Keven makes. My daughter and I can't drink enough of it. So this summer I thought I would make some and freeze to see how it does. Oh my!! I thawed a gallon last week and it tasted so fresh! I only froze 2 gallons and when I saw you pick the late cucumbers I had a tinge of jealousy. I will definitely freeze as many gallons as my freezer will hold next summer.
I wasn't sure if I would like cucumber limeade but people are saying that it's just as good as fresh squeezed lemonade so I may give it a try the next time I grow cucumbers!!
"Tomato Whisperer"
That shirt cracks me up!!!
Love watching you guys.
Love you video. This year we got chickens, turkeys and Guineas. My husband built hoop coops from your design. I also love your canning videos. I made your Tabasco sauce, when I was making it my son called it pepper spray because our eyes teared but my husband loves it. Thanks so much for your videos.
We used to have a small homestead, but now we travel full time. One of our long term goals is to find a place to have a farm/ranch again, but in the meantime, your farm fills that need for us. Appreciate your content!
I’d love some down time but I usually grow just as much over the fall and winter as I do in the summer . Broccoli, Brussels , carrots, onions , lettuce , assorted greens etc . I just can’t help myself ! 😂
Kevin, today's Tshirt is my absolute favorite!!! Love the graphics and YOU ARE the Tomato Whisperer!!!
Great harvest; thanks for sharing! Blessings to everyone 🤗💗🇨🇦
Not a winter person at all!! I spend the winter dreaming about homegrown tomatoes and deciding what I'm going to plant in the spring!! Consider making some green tomato cakes!! They are the best and I'm sure that there are some keto friendly recipes out there!! Hopefully you will be doing some videos by the wood stove this winter like you used to!!
I love Kevin's new shirt.
Pickle those green tomatoes! There are a lot of good recipes out there. Add some of those hot peppers to them.
I planted 4 ajvarski peppers because you said they were soo good. My 7 yr old granddaughter tried one and said "grandma, you need to plant 2 rows of these next year). She is my sidekick in the garden. She absolutely loved them! Thank you Sarah.
I just wanted to tell you that I love your tee dhirt!!! TOMATO WHISPER!!! I Love It!!! God Bless Us All!!!
Snow should be here next week, so I'm scrambling to get the last of my cleanup done, too. I am so looking forward to the winter break. ❤
Love the gardening videos. But sure miss the videos you use to share with all the farm animals ❤
Good morning! Love my Wednesday morning coffe and LTH! I put my green tomatoes on the counter and they turned red!
Be blessed!
I'm not ready!!!! Winter makes me sad... 😭I'm in Virginia, zone 7 and I still have squash, zucchini and tomatoes to harvest. A few of my tomato plants still have blooms and I'm going to dig them up, repot them and stick them under grow lights and see what happens, so I totally understand how Kevin feels about them 'maters!!!!
First frost tonight and first snowfall today. Pepper, potatoes and tomatoes are all getting harvested tomorrow. Hard freeze tomorrow night.
You are still wearing a T-shirt, I pulled our garden up last week and cleaned out the green house, yesterday we had 3 inches of snow and it is -12C here this morning at 6am!! Great harvest! Thanks for the video!
I have a counter full of paprika peppers turning red. We haven’t had a hard frost yet, in northern Michigan but it’s coming, quickly! I put about 20 paprika peppers in the freezer today, waiting on the others, about 50. Hubs will smoke them and I’ll freeze dry and make powder out of them. About 70 ghost peppers ready for the freeze dryer. Spicy pepper powder, for the bbq!
I wish someone would develop a "Sortapeño" or "Kindapeño" for people like me who like a medium heat pepper with full Jalapeño flavor.
I've heard of people using green tomatoes for salsa verde and green enchilada sauce instead of tomatillos.
We've had two frosts already, a bit earlier than the past couple years but that's why it's an average 🙂 I still need to do a bit of cleaning in my garden and put it to bed. That's the project for this weekend I think, if it doesn't rain me out first!
I bet it feels great to have that project finished. Hopefully your cucumbers and tomatoes make it!
My daughter and I just finished our last pepper harvest yesterday and was amazed with what we got from the raised bed. Yes time to let things rest. Great harvest.
I make pickled green tomatoes for my husband. He
Loves them and the green tomatoes don’t go to waste
Last year I wrapped my green tomatoes in newspaper and put in box, we had tomatoes just up to Christmas
Green tomato salsa. Made some last year and it's great.
You could wrap the green tomatoes in newspaper or brown paper bags and they will ripen.
Sarah, what does your pantry look like? I bet it looks absolutely gorgeous...and gives you such a sense of satisfaction and security. Love your channel.
I too would like to see your pantry. We put our garden to rest last weekend. Today it snowed. Blessings, jla
We're in Tucson and have planted our "winter garden" weeks ago. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce. We have some cukes, tomatoes, zucchini and a few herbs. So, our 3rd "round" of gardening is in full swing!
I love watching you harvest.
Thank you for "experiential" content. Ii enjoy "coming along" with you in all your adventures.
Another really yummy way to use the last of the green tomatoes is to make chow chow. It’s a green tomato relish that is kind of like sweet pickle relish but better. Down here in Texas we serve it up with a big bowl of purple hull peas or cream crowder peas and some hot cornbread. Nothing better!
Aside from adding some compost and tilling under the weeds our garden has been done for weeks now. We've already a couple frosts here in West Virginia. We're turning our attention to some new baby bunnies and building another chicken coop and tractor before it gets to uncomfortable
God has blessed you with abundance of veg and fruit the food looks amazing i love to keep watching your vlogs xx
Kevin, I love your shirt today….TOMATO WHISPER 😂
It’s a time of refreshing. Like on the 7th day, God rested.
I'm located in Northern Minnesota, and today we got our first snow. Looking at 4-9 inches before the end of the day tomorrow.
Love the "Tomator Whisperer" shirt.. to cool... Always a great show.. I love sharing with some Gardening Women I know..
Put your green tomatoes in a brown paper bag and store in a cool place. They will continue to ripen. 😊
You can put green tomatoes in a paper sack . Put the sack in a dark place and the tomatoes will turn red
Our first frost probably won't be here until January. Our "down time" is Summer. We are in one of our busiest planting seasons now. If all goes well, I should be harvesting our 3rd crop of corn for the year in December. (Zone 9b Florida)
Great last harvest, it's been a great year for the garden. Thank you for sharing. I also have done my last harvest for the winter. God's blessings
those green tomatoes would make good "Toe Jam" .. green tomatoes, your favorite jello flavoring and sugar/water. Cook and can. You'll never know there is green tomatoes in our jam!
You may want to try Scotch Bonnet or hot Armageddon peppers next year, these are two of our favorites! We also love pepper powder! Great harvest!!
-P & J
Or Carolina reapers very 🥵
@@applemac100100 Oh ya they are good too! We made powder and hot sauce with them a few years ago. Too much of a kick for us, we like hot with alot of flavor, not hot that we can't taste our food. Worth a try!
Sandwich spread/relish with green tomatoes, green peppers, & onions is fantastic. A family favorite. Mom used to make & can it annually. I've only made it once. Probably many recipes are out there.
Good luck with your produce.
This year I took my jalapeños and Sorrento peppers dehydrated them and turned them into a powder added the power to salt it is so flavorful to have pepper salt!
Last year I canned green tomato salsa using my green tomatoes, tomatillos and jalapeños from our tiny garden
I'm in northern Missouri. We're getting a frost this coming week so some plants and cover a few things this weekend.
I make a green tomato pie with a few of them. Old family recipe. Just add a little extra spice and sugar to an apple pie recipe and slice them thin. Very juicy and sweet tart. Yum.
Thanks Sarah and Kevin for sharing the last harvest of the year 2023. It was a great year and you all did well. Looking forward to a new year with your winter planting. Stay safe up there and keep up the fun. Fred.
growing up we had green tomato preserves that Mom made at the end of the tomato season... I loved it, a tomato marmalade almost..
Mid-Michigan lower peninsula. Almost in line with MI Gardner ;) a few hours west of him... Our garden is "asleep" for the winter with the exception of beets and carrots we are hoping to get a bit more growth from before pulling. Garlic is planted and covered, raspberries, asparagus, and Niagra grape vines are all cut back and strawberries have a cover of straw.
I picked some dried okra for seed and all my peppers Sunday afternoon. Bittersweet, but I am ready to relax for awhile.
I put my green tomatoes in a box and check every few days. They ripen. The skins are tougher and they taste like grocery store tomatoes, but do in a pinch.
I'm from New Mexico. Try growing pablano green peppers and Hatch green chiles. Green chile salsa is wonderful. You can use pablano chile for chile Rellenos. Green chile makes wonderful salsa and even chow chow. I've made green tomato salsa and chow chow before.
Yes, my garden's been done for about 10 days Put in some new raise beds, looking forward to Spring.
At the end of tomato season I pick everything even the green ones and they ripen in the house. Then I use those for salsa or tomato sauce.
The frost is coming in hard here too. Goes from 60s at night to 40s the next night, to 33 the 3rd night.😢
Green tomato jam is wonderful. Not sure if it could be made with stecia, but worth trying. Would make a great holiday gift idea too. I loved when my step mom made this from the green tomatoes at the end of the growing season. My grandma wrapped each green tomato in newspaper and left single layer in the gatage. They lasted a long time there and turned red.
We got a vert late season this year in the Peace Country of Northern Alberta. We had a touch of frost in the middle of Sept as evidence on my Zucchini plant showed. Oct 20 I was outside with shorts on at +17 only to wake up the 22 with two inches of snow, -4 and searching for thermals. Lol. We do not get a lot of ripe tomatoes on the vine out hear. Most are ripened in the house. As long as the skin is shiny, they will ripen. This year saw an overabundance of all garden produce. I have enough for the next few years and shared buckets with friends. But of course I am still thinking ahead about what I can try next year. Lol. Bring on the seed catalogues. 😀
i did my final harvest 2 weeks ago. I could have left the garden growing a few weeks longer but in all honesty by mid October I am just over it and ready to enjoy my time doing other hobbies like fishing and hunting. . Plus its nicer taking the garden out while the weather is still dry and pleasant to work in. .. in my opinion there is no guilt in ending my growing season 3-4 weeks before first frost. I still have buckets of ripening tomatoes on my shelf, tons of frozen veggies saved away too.
Green tomatoes are great to make green tomato and apple chutney which is very tasty especially with a bit of cheddar cheese.
Enjoying the Fall. If my part of MO would get ALL THE RAIN WE NEED & Enjoy some real fall colors...and NO HEAT...then Winter to Me can come a little later as it Usually does..God Bless & Take Care..
I took down my backyard garden a few weeks ago. Good thing because we've had rain every weekend for 8 weeks straight. The only left are a few pepper plants. I miss going out back and picking fresh veggies. We can all use some rest.
Great harvest. I am not sure where the information started but rest assured that the pure green tomatoes will ripen for you. I had 577 pounds of green tomatoes spread on the floor of my house that are all now red.
