MASSIVE Seed Haul and Garden Talk | Fermented Homestead

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

12 bucks for a giant bag of seeds is heckin' amazing.

[@FermentedHomestead]

It sure is!

[@sgmarr]

Just a mention? Chickens love greens and herbs and scraps! You could use extra and unwanted to cut your Summer Feed and ferment... plus do as others, where They DO your Composting FOR you! Just a thought....

[@sharonmckee2403]

Definitely I would be excited but overwhelmed with all the sends! But I can’t wait to see what you do with if all!

[@_LUNARVAEZ]

Last year my garden was a mess of weeds because I couldn’t keep up! This year I decided to down size. Still growing too many tomato’s for one small family but I have the most fun growing them. I had to buy my plants this year because the soil I bought to grow them held on to moisture too much and they died 😢 rotted. Thanks for being real. I love watching your channel because I can relate to so much!

[@TomatoesforBrains]

Baker Creek is so generous. We went there on our way back home from visiting family. Sept 2021. Hardly anyone there and we just walked around. When we were in their pepper field, an employee flagged us down telling us to pick all the peppers we want, we are sick of looking at them😂

[@lindagraff4842]

Great deals, seed shopping is addictive, lol not in a bad way.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Agreed!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

WHAT OMG a giant bag of seeds is seed goals!! One year I'll go up to that festival .

[@FermentedHomestead]

I sure hope you do!

[@amandaforeman2626]

Omg ! A seed auction !!!! How freaking cool !!!!!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Right?!

[@lindachandler2293]

Just an idea. They don't have to make pretty carrots to make big roots in rocky soil, but they might help break your ground up some, if you just sow them and water them good and they do their thing, pushing deep as they can, it wouldn't matter if you get anything to eat off of them or not.

[@gkseeton]

I've the AGS and I'm carnivore, but my garden goal is to grow what I ferment and to feed my poultry better.

[@heisgr8er669]

Fun video! I agree, it can be stressful to overplant, I never learn my lesson lol. Hahaha! The chickens looked scared of the bugs.

[@FermentedHomestead]

They sure did! They’ve only eaten feed but once they figured it out they were all about it 😂

[@jeneanegarwood7528]

That is so awesome to go to a seed auction. It looks like it paid off for you. Glad to hear that you'll get a few days to get in your garden. I can't wait to see all the flowers you're going to plant. It's going to be beautiful!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Calima beans are our favorite green bean we have grown so far.

[@FermentedHomestead]

Yay!

[@cherylb.9766]

Holy heck your going to be really busy!! Better get more grow lights!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

FIVE 5-gallon buckets of carrot seed!! LOL!!

[@FermentedHomestead]

😂

[@karenfrankland7763]

OMG I would freak if I had that amount of weeds. I've learned to plant intensively and put a good 5 inches or more of mulch on all the beds. (grass clippings, rabbit poo and wood chips) We love our twice a day salads fresh picked from the garden. We have Ancona ducks and Chocolate Muscovy. The Muscovy meat is just like beef but better in our opinion. The hens make the best momma's ever. The Muscovy do fly so we have ours in a large aviary setting with perches and lots of huts and coops to next in. Our Ancona ducks are our bug catcher ducks and roam around our backyard when we free range them.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’m not thrilled with the weeds but not much I can do at this point so I’ll just make the best of it until the cabbages are done then I’ll burn it to the ground!

[@theserenecrane]

We just took our pepper starts out to the garden yesterday! So excited to try Sugar Rush Peach! 😋 Awesome seed haul!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Nice! I think we’ll be waiting a few more weeks to make sure the nights aren’t too cold for the peppers

[@hersheyqueenlisa]

We went to their last year and oh my goodness! They had a great buy on their seeds ($2 pkt). And they had great speakers and vendors. It was a 10 hr trip each way for us but it was so worth it!

[@FermentedHomestead]

That’s quite a trip! I’m glad you got to experience it!

[@cherylb.9766]

Well you can sell seeds! 😊

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

You should do a luffa tunnel. You'll love it. so hands-off.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’d like to have some but I didn’t start the seeds in timr

[@perfectlyimperfect2023]

Dang, I'd buy a feed sack of seeds for $12. My husband would think I'm crazy but they'd be beautiful! My whole yard would be zinnias lol no grass at all

[@lorihenderson8589]

We have had khaki Campbells before and their eggs were wonderfully rich mmmm mmm!

[@FermentedHomestead]

We had them when we first got to Missouri but a raccoon got in their cage and wiped them all ouy

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

LOL I want an orange cat so bad.

[@FermentedHomestead]

They’re weird

[@trinashumblehomestead]

Woooaa!! That is Crazy amazing!!! AHHH I have been looking for Long beans I am so happy you got them. I want to do a trellis and grow long beans on them. I think it would be fun to try and freeze dry them too. Wink wink. Wow how fun. i am so happy to see all you got! Maybe you could do a seed giveaway for some subscribers or something. I would join for the long beans of course hahahaha Happy to see you again!

[@FermentedHomestead]

I was thinking about something like that, I have way more than I can use so whatever can’t be chicken feed like the zinnias and cabbage I’ll do something with. Freeze dry for sure! If you email me your P.O. Box I can send you some of the king beans when I have time

[@trinashumblehomestead]

@@FermentedHomestead I will thanks Anna !

[@JanicePhillips]

omg...of course you upload while I milking and doing morning chores. It's a drippy, dreary day here in SE OK. I got a late start this morn. Lemme make my second cup and set down with ya, sis! Posted a pic of some garden goodies I grabbed on FB. ;-)

[@JanicePhillips]

hahaha....I love watching the Great Chicken Race. Why chick's grab food and run around screaming, I've yet to determine. But, it's so entertaining. Good looking chicks. My line is doing fantabulous this year! I'll have to grab pics of my pullets. Wow are they lookers. The 30 Red Rangers/Jackies/Sassos are 6 weeks now and some will be ready around June 1st. I picked out a smaller cockerel and two lovely sweet pullets to add weight to my line. We've got four lambs on the ground. Two boys, two girls. You should try sheep. They're much, much easier than pigs and who doesn't love lamb?

[@FermentedHomestead]

Me, I can’t stand lamb 🤢 it tastes like a watered down foot

[@JanicePhillips]

@@FermentedHomestead HAHAHA... You've likely only eaten wool sheep, and butchered too old and shipped in from NZ/Aussie. That's where 80% of American lamb comes from. I raise hair sheep. No sheering. No greasy meat. No funky flavor. These are Katahdins, specifically bred for eatin. Maybe someday you can drive down and have some chops or burgers and let me change your mind. ;-) Wait till Dan the Man and Joey are ready...9 mths or so and we'll be snackin!

[@FermentedHomestead]

Nope, my sister said the same thing and fed me her lamb and it was less gross but still gross

[@JanicePhillips]

@@FermentedHomestead Good grief girlie. How about ducks? Rabbit? Squirrel? You said something about meat ducks. OHHHH... I bought a bunch of pheasant!!! It is the sweetest yummmy meat I've eaten in a minute. Thinking about trying to raise me some.

[@hillbillyshadetreefarm5732]

Anna, I hope you come to Baker Creek's Heirloom Expo 9/10-12 in Ventura, CA. Please, please. I would love if you could speak and share your speech you gave at the Keeper of the Old Ways.

[@FermentedHomestead]

I’m sorry 😞 I have no intention to travel to California but if they invite me to speak I’d think about it

[@mjn042679]

I want comfrey! 😢

[@sheliaheverin8822]

I bought 2 big bags (big to me) of zinnia seeds......but your bag is HUGE.... I know I paid more for mine.

[@FermentedHomestead]

They are super cheap because they are the defects they catch during quality control. So these would be excess from the previous season, not true to type, low germination rate, etc.

[@reneaccc7736]

I’m so mad ; I bought seeds from Walmart tomatoes ect and they are small like 2 inches and have stayed that way since I planted them back March wth

[@carolynhelmic1474]

Are you people that’s gardening buying NON GMO seeds and NON GMO garden vegetable plants??

[@FermentedHomestead]

Of course, there’s only one variety of gmo seeds available to the general public at the moment. I just avoid gmo stuff altogether when possible
