Fantastic video can't wait to see more. Learning so much!

[@josepimann7384]

Shawn Woods thank you for taking the time to complete these videos so well. Im using hem to teach my children and myself.

[@SuperQuickfix1]

Sold out

[@whathappened2230]

This vid is 6 years old and still as good and relevant as ever! Thank you very much Shawn!

[@dylanzrim1011]

Showed my mum and grandfather these videos, not only do I not have to get permission to start a garden anymore, but my grandfather is cornsidering starting a hobby farm

[@hawks9142]

It's been awhile, how does the garden look?

[@guayaquilindependiente8763]

It's sad that people don't watch these videos, they're great.

[@jimmydean6467]

Well now the video has 36,000 views.

[@finesseemfishing2631]

I love the Native American crop videos. Great job.

[@Codyno]

These kinds of videos are so fascinating and intriguing! Keep it up!

[@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday]

Thanks. It is nice to make videos that people seem to enjoy and that don't generate a ton of hate mail.

[@Codyno]

I found your channel after finding your mouse trap videos but I quickly learned that you make so many other awesome videos. I have to admit I'm binge watching your videos now, most of them with my father. They are so informative and just fascinating! This is the best channel that I've found on KZbin.

[@williamfoley6918]

Shawn I just have to say I am part Poarch Creek and Muskogee and although I am young it means a lot to see someone bring a bit of the land back to itself and keep alive something we almost lost, can't wait for the three sisters garden keep it up brother.

[@gabrielpena3251]

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 .

[@superrobotspacekingii4720]

I hope things are better now and that you have more time for gardening.

[@dax6988]

I love the fact that you have dirty hands. If shows you actually gets your hands in the dirt and garden the soil yourself. Awesome videos Mr Shawn Woods

I like youra videos! They are right to the point, no wasted time....And based on real experience... Thanks!

[@Rhino_Skin]

I really like this type of vedios the native Culture, Shawn. Thanks

[@robbierotten3075]

I just love the stuff you do with your channel, and the pre-European contact crops are quickly becoming my second favorite, right next to mouse trap Mondays.

[@jamesgibson7114]

Shawn you come up with some great stuff that is a benefit to anyone who is interested in making there one way. Thanks for your time and effort.

[@jimmidycricket4725]

Please.! Keep making these videos! I love every video of how the natives use to thrive. So informative and great quality and I learn so much from you

[@dylanzrim1011]

You should make a good chilli made of as much heirloom ingredients as possible.

[@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday]

Great idea. I will start working on it.

[@dylanzrim1011]

Shawn Woods how well can these ship international? I've realised the only way I will eat healthy is to grow it myself. I mean a home grown orange is 100 times better than a store bought one.

[@mark7994]

Shawn, I'll second that idea. It would be neat to see recipes your family uses for these crops. Great videos! Really enjoying them.

[@TalkingThreadsMedia]

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

[@Marlonscrazy]

I absolutely love this! I've always been fascinated with ancient crops. Thank you for making this.

[@kerryblimline821]

You are good at what you are doing thanks

[@ot505]

We are still here! Native people still *grow corn and beans. Enjoying your videos!

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Those calico are beautiful! as are the scarlets. Mmmmm makes me want to grow some!

[@javiersosa3368]

thanks for sharing, now I'm the mood to grow some beans next year, they are beautiful

[@mkal7852]

these videos are great! don't stop posting them because they get less views.. those who do watch love them! Please keep making farming videos! :)

[@andersmoore]

Very interesting video.

[@nialbradburn3851]

wonderful Shawn.... Such a shame I no longer live in the countryside where we had a 2 acre garden... please keep posting these videos, they are fascinating.. :-)

[@kuriboh635]

Amazing. I love your videos, I've been watching since you're first otzi video's

[@ddd3240]

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.

[@MrsStevenBrown]

Oh wow.. you showed the beans I have been searching for..Black night falls!

[@samsqwanchey]

Thanks for everything you do!

[@XxXxSabooxXxX]

Bro I LOVE this. Beans are so easy to grow and I’ve got room in my garden

[@carterseib223]

I’ll try them out next year my garden is full now thanks and I’ll try out the squash to

[@gasser2348]

Thanks, great video, very informative.

[@Tara-sf7uu]

Great video!

[@baconcube6109]

Love these heirloom crop videos!

[@mattmoore1311]

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.

[@ElBote54]

I love this Video

[@popuphomesteadlivingoffgri8606]

Thank you very good video!

[@adamisaacapetroaie]

Very informative and interesting Shawn! Keep it up!

[@lukews1519]

Love these videos!

[@MrOldclunker]

You were correct in thinking of cross pollination on your black beans turning brown.

[@bobhart677]

Great video. So cool to see what you did before you started catching mice!

[@mpen7873]

Awesome 👍

[@chenry7084]

Wait, you're telling me that there are lima beans with flavor out there, what kind of injustice allowed the flavorless pieces of Styrofoam to go main stream?

[@BananaMana69]

Because if people knew there was awesome tasty beans they wouldn't eat all the processed foods...

[@CharlieDunn77]

awesome video Shawn!

[@andrewgcrowhurst]

Thanks for this and your corn vids. im in the proccess of making a dryland farm in AZ. its great to get feedback on what the seeds are like before i run out and but a whole lot

[@christysoto7686]

Andrew any success on the farm? I’m in AZ also and trying to get a little farm going in my backyard for my family. Some success. Some failures.

[@andrewgcrowhurst]

@@christysoto7686 look for seeds from Russian plants. They have a very short growing season and work well in AZ. 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.

[@christysoto7686]

@@andrewgcrowhurst thank you!

[@sosteve9113]

very good video,with historical value

[@reddragonstacking5247]

do more of these videos love them i also like watching the mouse trap mondays lol keep them coming

these videos are awesome

[@1dirtysprit3]

I LOVE THE BEANS !!!!!!

[@Uniquelyyours1]

I love your videos:)

[@nancybaldwin1811]

Great job. I'm glad they have heirloom seeds. Thanks to the Native Americans. There's too much unnatural seeds, being grown and processed foods. I'm glad they still grow good crops.

[@Bulpy]

great video I would like to see all your plants

[@simonhopkins3867]

now I'm hungry dam you ;-) looking forward to seeing some cooking. keep up the good work 🍻

[@switchieone4488]

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 🤣😮😆😂

[@allieatrini418]

thanks for the video

[@shanek6582]

J. A. Townsend has a KZbin video of 1700s Boston baked beans that I made on the grill last week and they were delicious.

[@MohamedAhmed-zi1ru]

do u know that i spend more than 14 hours a day on KZbin ? .. and do u know that ur vids and content are just always the best for me , hunting and farming .. we speak same language man keep doing these great satisfying vids i am kinda addicted to ur channel 😁

[@oneonta310]

I grew teparies this last summer. They don't need water after sprouting.

[@BobBarkerScientificHeretic]

I successfully crossed the 1,500 year old Cave Bean, with an Heirloom Pinto Bean this year. I was curious if you know of any other Cave Bean Hybrids? Thank you, excellent content, I love the history aspect. Just subbed up

[@AIM9Sidewinder1776]

how large of a landmass are you working with to grow all these types of corn, beans and other plants?

[@georgeabraham4285]

I ordered sample stock from wish, only the squash grew. That stuff is really old. I'm going to look for wattle seeds this weekend and try to use them as a bean substitute, apparently they make a good legume.

[@lindamoses3697]

I planted some Scarlett runner beans on two tomatoe trellises one upside down upon the other on each side of me front porch one year. The flowers were gorgeous and people asked what kind of flowers they were on my towers. They need lots of nitrogen and then you won't believe the growth. People were shocked that they were beans.

[@neckredgringo5372]

how do you start the bean off to get it ready to plant? I am glad you did this video because I have been wanting to plant some beans for a while now

[@KowboyUSA]

Gotta get me one of those Tom's Mix bags.

[@nicholaicrawson3305]

What time of year would I plant these

[@christophiano10]

Please please make a video of your whole garden and quickly go over it, like heres all the corn, here are all the beans there is this and that,...............................

[@angiekitchen4449]

interesting

[@kennethsimmons5235]

Out Standing video. I live in West Virginia and there is a ton of native American sites in the Ohio and Kanawha River Valleys. I noticed that most of the beans were western beans. Is there any information on eastern beans or beans from this area? ....I am going to go an watch your video on corn. Thank you for your work.

[@KILLKING110]

a properly sealed container can keep seeds good for a extremely long time matter in fact scientists are currently conducting a experiment that has last 50 years so far to see how long just weed seeds alone can remain viable and its showing just how amazing genetics can be.

i grew the Arikara yellow decades ago in northern ontario a wee bit late for here but it did well a better one was a small yellow bean called yellow squaw i also grew the red hidatsa i believe these were all grown by the Mandan people on the banks of the Missouri river

[@operator1997]

I wonder if the Svalbard Seed Vault have these varieties?

[@SuperQuickfix1]

How do you prevent cross pollination of you beans?

[@paulgawrych6673]

I may have missed it in the video, but how do you store the beans? Is there any process after harvesting or are they naturally dehydrated enough to just store?

[@Fonzolicious210]

Is there a certain way to prepare the beans or do you eat them as is?

[@tyrowolfe3034]

Have you heard of the fourth sister? In some areas natives would grow sunflower's as the fourth sister to the three sister gardening method.

[@danielibarra3670]

Any of this perennial?

[@tvbox6955]

When growing these together, do they cross breed?

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

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.

[@thomashamiltom]

Have you ever heard about mixing juniper ashes in with your meal to increase your calcium intake?

[@CoinWasher]

is it possible to grow any of these in Florida? I have interest in trying this. I hope it doesn't turn out that growing any in Florida soil makes it inedible.

[@Paulsicles]

If you told me I'd be into a KZbin video about beans I'd think you were crazy. For whatever reason, I didn't skip to the next video. #beannerd4life

Corn, squash, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, are all north and South American in origin, the European diet must have sucked before 1500. Anyone know any other veggies that started here?

No senzu bean? 😁 goku give me a senzu bean jk jk I love dragon ball z. I didn't know there were so many varieties of beans that could be eaten. so cool 😎⛄❄😎 and amazingly awesome. I love history. I only knew about pinto beans, garbanza beans, butter beans and stuff like that. very educational. thanks Shawn Woods. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@aidancampos5959]

The different colors of the same variety may be down to natural variation. As heirlooms are open pollinated; they have a wealth of diversity in their genetics causing variation.
