The vines from sweet potatoes look just like a pothos ivy. So anyone struggling with an HOA who won't allow a front yard garden. Plant sweet potatoes up front and they will be none the wiser.

@@CountryLivingExperience No kidding! I don't have land yet, but I've got a little garden book I'm using to build it for whenever we do have a patch to grow on, so videos like these are super helpful. Have a blessed day!
Its not for no reason that Native Americans refer to corn, beans & squash as "the three sisters." Thanks for highlighting the importance of the six survival plants you have mentioned. ❤
We grow sweet potatoes in grass clippings. I will cut and bag about a half acre of pasture in late April and make about a 100 foot row of clippings. We plant the slips in the grass and just leave it alone. No digging required to plant or harvest. We do get more pest damage but we can 90% of them so it's not an issue. Last year the deer ate all the leaves early on but the plants came right back. For preserving tomatoes it's best to plant a Roma style as they are much more beefy than a slicer. We grow both and can both but try to process mostly romas. Green beans can be planted 4x for us here in GA. We do some bush but mostly an Italian style pole bean. We prefer that flavor. We grow sweet peas but eat them all fresh. Ours are currently blooming like crazy. We plant purple hull peas and zipper peas 2x per year and can them. The same with collards. Summer squash and winter squash are good for us. Melons and cucumbers are also big for us. Prolific, tasty, and they make excellent pig food. I struggle with corn. We are not space constrained and actually could grow quadruple what we do. Allocation of time is more of an issue. We have an extensive fruit orchard as well as berries and muscadines. We got out of beef and replaced them with pigs. Much quicker return on investment and much easier to contain. I feel bad for people who are just now realizing they need to be prepared.
Due to my small English garden, I have a polytunnel. Peas, beans, peppers and aubergines grow in hanging baskets. Squash and cucumber grow well in tall, narrow tomato cages. Sweet potatoes grow up a trellis along one side of the polytunnel. Potatoes grow in bags, buckets, tubs and large pots all over the garden. Every scrap of ground is utilised to provide food to supplement our prepper supplies.
Three Sisters can also use sunflowers 🌻 in addition or replacement of corn. If someone doesn't have space for corn, sunflowers are a great alternative ❤
Thank you for sharing. I live in Haverhill MA zone 6A. I hope to have a decent garden this year and pray that ill have enough food to store at the end of my growing season☺. God bless you too🙏..
We're in you're zone in TX, too. What I've found with pintos or other dry beans is the humidity tends to mildew them before they dry. Unless the bugs get them first. So we pick them at the green shell stage and can them. Since they don't produce as much as peas we pull the whole plant when the crop is mostly done. Take them to the barn and pull beans off in front of the fan. Run through the sheller, divide between us and have lunch lol We farm as a family so there's usually between 2- 7 of us picking, planting, shelling at one time depending on who's working, in school, etc. Four households. Those who aren't able or don't like to pick get to make or buy lunch. It works out 😂
I have 4 out of five, so I'm doing pretty good. I'm not putting in corn this year, because i'm out of space. I do have peas, green beans, black beans, cranberry beans, cabbage, carrots, sweet and reg potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, eight herbs, beet sand ten fruits. God bless and keep growing!
Great pronunciation! Your spoken English was very understandable. I usually have to put a UA-cam video on closed captioning to follow what people are saying.
Love your videos ! A natural way to rid your garden of pests is to find someone who smokes. Soak the cigarette butts in water. Then drain the mixture into a bucket using cheese cloth, an old towel, etc. then pour the nicotine water into your sprayer and spray your fruits and vegetables. Insects will die as soon as they start to eat your fruits and vegetables. Rinse your food very well and enjoy.
Excellent choice of crops to grow. Beans, squash, and corn will grow just about anywhere, tomatoes too. I prefer Chard and/or turnips for greens. Potatoes, in my hard ground are a real pain, so containers are the only option here in the Mid-Atlantic. Blessings.
Thank you for the video...for aphids i read somwhere to use Borax mule team (or something like that)...forgot the rest. I would have never thought Sweet potatoes are healthier then regular potatoes.
I certainly sense your frustration in this video. As a DIY’er myself, I realize that anything I do by myself, to save my family some money, might come back to bite me if it ever requires the intervention of my homeowners insurance, but, like you, I can’t see paying tons of money for work that I can do myself, and as you’ve experienced, sometimes, better than a contractor would have done it. Been there, redid that. Thanks for sharing. I hope to finish building the hearth for my wood burning stove this week so I can call for a final inspection and move into our 100% off grid house soon.
Chinese long beans (asparagus beans) are awesome and keep producing for months for a very nice green veg you can sauté or even eat raw. I’m in zone 9a Louisiana. Highly recommend.
Hey thanks for the video! I wasn't expecting to have so many of your list already planted in our garden for this year lol (no corn or sweet potatoes). Okra does super well here (even with the aphids/bugs) so we've planted a lot and will be pickling some to store for later. Hope you continue to have success and much love to you and yours. Take care!

Collards can be bitter. If you freeze collards before cooking them down, it’ll stop the bitterness. We cook down collards, turnip greens, mustard greens and Swiss chard together with 2-3 heaping Tablespoons of bacon grease, add salt and pepper to taste. They taste fabulous. We also cook cabbage with bacon grease. We don’t eat bacon, so we buy the bacon with as much fat as we can find to use it for cooking . Bacon grease is a Good fat for your body.
@@CountryLivingExperience Really? If the leaf is old, it can be bitter, otherwise they’re sweet and Yummy. We eat a LOT of greens & Okra. Sometimes I’ll fry okra for lunch. God certainly knew what He was doing when He made greens, okra, sweet potatoes, etc.
Great video as always.Do you cook your sweet potato leaves or eat them fresh? After my husband's by-passes he was told the best vegetables he could eat were sweet potatoes.
Greens are high in vitamins and calcium. That's why I started growing them because my doc prescribed me eating more greens for calcium. Cooked kale, spinach, and collard greens are all good calcium sources.
Wat fijn dat eindelijk iemand verteld hoe we moeten overleven in deze tijd Aardpeer is geloof ik ook een heel goed product Ik ben dit jaar net begonnen met moestuin en leren over Back To Eden en No Dig Garden het geeft veel energie en vreugde Dank je wel voor je filmpjes
You're welcome. Glad you are starting your garden. We also created Back To Eden garden beds a few years. I am excited to try Jerusalem Artichokes in the near future.
@@CountryLivingExperience purple potatoes or purple okinawa sweet potatoes. They are both super high in antioxidants. The purple sweet potatoes are also very easy to grow.
Mix a 50/50 distilled water and 3% hydrogen peroxide and spray your plants. Helps keep the bug's off and they grow much greener and brighter. I live up north and I spray them weekly and in the evening time.
This year I was going to use it to water my plants. It's supposed to give the plants better immune system to ward off pests and grow bigger and better. It won't hurt to try it, I figured. My brother did it last year and he said his blackberry plants went overboard and no bug's. But his other ones he didn't do were all destroyed by the bug's. He said he was going to order a couple 55 gallon drums this year. He has a small orchard of blackberry and apple's. I don't have that but I am going to start getting my huckleberry plants going here soon.
Tomatoes "high in Vit C"?? You'd have to eat 4 medium tomatoes or 1.6 C of cooked tomatoes per day, every day, all year round for that to be your source of Vit C. Bell peppers have over 2.5 times as much and are also easy to grow.

Plant sweet potatoes in the shade for bigger/tastier leaves, but the tubers will be bland.
