***** 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 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

1. She didn't fertilize her seedlings. 2. Waited too long to transplant and allowed the plants to get too big. 3. She failed to harden them off. The process of exposing your seedlings gradually to the sun, wind, fluctuating temperatures, and not being watered as often. 4. She planted them in the garden too early and they all froze.

I hate transplanting things, so I just start everything in solo cups (with a hole drilled in the bottom of each). Roomy and re-usable, no fiddling with bitty plants. I put my potting soil/garden mix in the bottom 2/3 of the cup and put seed starter in the top 1/3 so the seeds can start easily, and then grow to reach the more nutrient-rich soil beneath. This has saved me a lot of time and tedium!

I actually get really mad when people see my garden and say "Well, you just have a green thumb." No. I work my butt off and learn over time! I have watched countless videos, read articles, and read books about what to do and what not to do in the garden. Then, I bust my butt working outside at it. Weeding, spreading compost and mulch, tying up plants, turning the compost, etc. It is not luck or instinct. It is hard work, experience, and knowledge.

Gardening is the same as life. Some successes, some failures, but always enjoy the journey, and learn along the way

"I want you all to sucSEED!" 😄 HOW ADORABLE YOU ARE 🤗

Some of the best lessons we learn, we learn when we fail. But your failure was really a success! You took that experience and shared it with thousands of others, so they could learn from your experience. Thank you for sharing!

I love the show. I would like to leave a little tip that I learned about starting seeds. Tip: place a cup of water in your blender with a garlic clove. blend and strain into your spray bottle. top up with water and use this to water your seeds. This mixture prevents damp-off! hope I've helped a little.

THIS is why my seedlings died last spring! UGH! Thank you for posting this. I'm such a noobie when it comes to this stuff still. Make mistakes and learn! That's how it goes!

Thank you so much Sarah! This is my first year starting my own seedlings, I usually buy plants from the nursery. I wasn't sure when to fertilize them, and when to replant if the garden wasn't ready. Your bad luck last year will help me this year, thanks again!! We would be lost without ya'll!!!
