Does anyone like me press like before even watching Becky??..you just know it's going to be good 😊
always 🙂
I do
I do
Me haha!
Me too!!!
Hello sweet people over the world. Thanks becky and josh for bringing us all together ❤🎉
Hello from North Texas! I love this channel. Becky is my favorite channel.
Greetings from Brooklyn NYC. I Love this channel so much, Becky is a ray of sunshine!
Hello from southeastern Massachusetts
Hi everyone coming from California. I always look forward to seeing all videos. Thank you Becky and Josh❤
Hi from Germany 😊
I have three children, and when they were young I would send them into the garden at dusk. Each child had a torch and bucket and i would pay them 10 pence per slug or snail. These would then be transported down to the railway line where the buckets would be emptied onto the embankment. Kids loved it as they earned a little chocolate money.😊
In this world of upheaval, your channel is my solace. I’d give anything to live like you do!
So would I.
Me too
Becky has inspired me to plant as much as I'm capable of growing. It's become a solace, along with watching her videos. ❤
Micah 4 :4
I would love a “day in my life” video to see how you maintain the garden, house, and family on a daily basis. It’s amazing! I know that’s a big ask so no pressure.
I bought about 20 wire trash cans from Dollar Tree and use them over small seedlings or over where I planted sunflower seeds, pumpkins seeds, etc. It has helped with the birds eating the new seedlings. They are only $1.25 each and you can reuse them for many years.
That's a great idea! For next year 😅
Garden tours and harvests are my favourite!!
Me too! My favorite is the potato harvest
Also seed unboxxing
Omgosh you and josh are so meticulous with those amazing gardens! I can't even imagine the off-camera work involved in creating and maintaining them!
I saw your rhubarb is huge, just so you know, if you didn’t already, it freezes wonderfully, just chop it up and freeze in bags. This late in the season some of it might be woody, but if you harvest from it a few times through the season you can get young stems
Plant cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, turnip greens, collard greens and mustard greens in the Fall to help diminish bug issues.
I second this!! Usually can’t find starts in greenhouses so I start mine indoors in early August/very late July.
I'm going to do that with my tomatillos. They got decimated by bugs - the ones with stripes down the middle. squash bugs apparently love tomatillos as well.
Agree. I sow brassica seeds here in Tasmania in late March. Transplant in late April, covering each with a wire waste basket if the cabbage whites are still around. The cauliflowers are all starting to head up now (end of June). Never experience any pest damage.
@@heidiquayle5054Those are likely the striped blister beetles. They can decimate your garden.
What can I do to eliminate fire ants? They are in every one of my raised beds here in Piedmont NC. I moved here from upstate NY where there were no ant issues.
I learned that the darn slugs absolutely love corn meal ...if you sprinkle it along the edge of the bed, they will eat it and be happy and leave your crop alone. Meanwhile, in the early morning you can come out and collect them to throw into another location far far away. Snails like beer and also the corn meal . The corn meal method saved my seedlings when I learned they are ravenous after eating my first planting of Zinnias ...so when I re-planted, I used the corn meal...even the cheap Jiffy mix..... and have a successful garden now
I have a great tip. My friend ties several streamers of reflective ribbon on all her blueberry bushes. Keeps the birds away
I love that you're growing flowers in between all your veggies❤
I recently told my sister I’d have to call her back because I was watching my friend Becky. Thank you for brightening my day with your wonderful garden and delicious looking foods. I started watching your channel about 6 months ago and I’m almost caught up on all your videos.😊
Such a beautiful garden. I love how the beds are all separated by a nice walking area. You are like me. If something volunteers to come up, I say, "Join the party!" 😀
Your bees will LOVE the zinnias once they start to bloom. I would also grow a bed of basil near them and just let them go to full flowers as they grow. Zinnias, Salvia and Basil flowers are the things that attract the most bees into my backyard.
Eggshells won't work for slugs, I tried it... Beer on the other hand worked really good! I put the plastic cup in the ground, so that the level of the beer is underneath the soil and the slugs just fell in it. Maybe there are some better solutions though
My experience too.
Egg shells work here along with coffee grounds and salt.
Old cottage cheese or butter container. Keep lid on. Embed in soil a little and cut an entrance hole level w soil. Fill with beer but below level of soil. Slugs crawl in but cant crawl out. Drown in beer.
Eggshells work well against slugs for me.
Becky, this is just stunning! I bet drone footage of your property would be so cool!
Because of you....I found a hobby that I love. Gardening abd preserving. I have never really had a hobby before you. Many many thanks!❤❤❤
I'm so glad the garden is recovering- it was so sad last time you showed us all the plants that hadn't survived being planted out. You're finding out which varieties like your garden which is all good but sometimes it's a painful process. Everything is looking great. Well done!
Becky! I wanted to let you know that Lessonface has a free zoom on braiding wheat, and a longer class where you can make the different projects. Wheat makes simple decor after the summer florals are done. Bundles of wheat in winter can provide food for birds.
To keep critters from eating your seeds, sprinkle some red pepper flakes into the hole with them. You can normally find inexpensive red pepper flakes at Dollar Tree.
Beautiful garden. I was just noticing your view through the fence you and Josh put up. If you paint the fencing black you won't notice the metal blocks in the fencing and just see the view.
Thank you for sharing a peek at your "girls" (chickens). They always make me smile. I love how you are so caring with them. Your channel always brings me joy! 🥰
Did you remember to take the strawberries you picked inside 😂❤ Thank you for all the that y'all share with us.
I did :)
We can see them in her basket at the end of the video. I was hoping she didn't forget them either lol
@@AcreHomestead I hope you will think twice about sluggo. Be extremely careful now that you have your own bees. Even the people who take care of your lawn and landscape should use organic and safe practices. I always placed marigolds everywhere and the slugs ate them and left everything else alone.
So excited to see your garden
Hi Becky, hi friends 🎉
I am really hoping to find strawberry plants this weekend. Usually its not grown in Guyana. We do have a mulberry bush that turned into a whole tree!
Hi Becky, Your stock planters are looking beautiful. I hope you are going to roll those indoors and save them over the winter season. The strawberry plants would do well in those in ground beds, and you could reuse that ground cover from the raised beds to keep the weeds out of them. Also. those cabbage & cauliflower plants you lost would have been better served planted in the cooler insect free fall weather. You truly have a green thumb and a beautiful home & garden. ❤
I am in awe of your snapdragon beds!! You have a flower farm 😊 I loved this tour--every thing is so beautiful ❤ And we got to see your Sweet Girls and the honey bees! Can't beat that 💜
Becky your gardens are looking gorgeous!
One thing I heard from RuthAnn from Homesteading with the Zimmermans is with her potatoes, when they flower she cuts the flowers off then all that energy goes into the roots for bigger potatoes.
You might want to do an experiment by some cut some leave and see what happens. You do make gardening so fun. Thank you for all your great content. 🌻💐🌾🍓🥬🫛🍠🧅🧄🧁🥧🍪🍩☕️🥰
For slugs, pour a can of beer in a pie tin. They come by the droves with their little antanea up and drink. It will get your "slug herd" under control! Be sure to watch in the evening as it is kind of amazing. is that contributing to the delinquency of a slug? ;)
Becky FYI. Dahlias are incredibly thirsty so need lots of water. Aphids are attracted to the natural sugars in the plant at the top of the stems. I used the same method as you did with the mild soapy water and rinse method. Worked out for me for 10yrs.
My great grandma always encouraged used dish water and by all that is holy I've always had amazing growth with her method!!!
I just like to say THANK YOU, you always inspire me. My husband and I really enjoyed enjoy every video you do. I cook some of your recipes and my husband really enjoys them. So thank you again 😊
God Bless you and your beautiful family.
O, I even have a very small garden I started. So thank you so much for that.
Sincerely appreciate you.
You can put 2 or 3 little branches of tarragon in a white wine vinegar bottle, it's our favorite for salads and bottles are nice to see.
Your such a joy to watch! You love your gardens like a parent and child relationship, this is why you do so well. Thank you for all the love you spread everywhere 💗
lol - one last comment. Re: raspberries and in ground beds and bees. Watch Jason Smith @ Coghill Farm. We are doing our blackberries and raspberries like he does. He was taught by Petals From The Past and not only are they easy to harvest, but loaded. His bee garden is absolutely stunning and he has some really happy bees!
Thank you. Just about ready to plant almost 100 canes.
Sluggo, or slug and bug killer is fine alone. The beer traps will attract slugs that never thought about going into your garden. You don’t want any attractants.
Your garden is lovely.
Another idea that you can put around your plants is diatomaceous earth. Basically it cuts up the slugs and they don’t want to go through it and it’s natural you can put it on your animals for flea control. It has all sorts of uses and you get it at your local nursery
That's an ingredient in Sluggo
Love the volunteer plants….they are the best surprises.
Re: harvesting tomatoes from trellis. You can pull your side by side under it and stand up in back of it.
wow the petunia planter is stunning!!!! I'll have to watch back to see which flowers you put in there.😍
I planted dahlia tubers (dinner plate) for the first time. I didn't realize just how large the plant grew. The stalks are approximately, 1" to 1 1/2", heavy and are a little more than 4 feet tall. We just had a storm lastnight and some of my dahlias are laying on the ground. Next year, i want to have a good variety and try from seed like Becky. But...I'll also stake them 😅🏵
I'm so inspired by Becky's gardens that I've been adding more and more each year. So looking forward to seeing what beauty awaits this summer and harvest will be amazing!
Happy vibes and wishes for blessings to everyone watching.
Becky, your garden looks lovely!!! You put so much thought and work into creating a beautiful garden that is a treat to the eyes as well as providing healthy food for your family. I just keep getting so many ideas from watching your successes and learning experiences...your attitude towards the learning experiences is definitely one to be emulated!!
Tarragon does go beautifully with chicken, though I have never cooked with fresh tarragon. Can’t wait to see what you cook up! The garden is a delight. ❤
You bring such peace and calmness to my day. I look forward to every video. I dont watch much youtube, but i never miss your videos. Sometimes i will even rewatch them as i wait for your next upload. You have so many amazing tips and tricks, recipes, and ideas that i have adapted into my own kitchen and life. You are a blessing in my life. Thank you for all you do!!!
Hi Becky. Greetings from Jamaica. I always look forward to your beautiful garden❤👍
Use the shells from store bought eggs in your garden, save homegrown for the garden. (If you have friends or neighbors without chickens).
If you see and catch slugs, your chickens will LOVE them!!! I mean this as a compliment --Some gardens are so regimented with super straight rows and all the same things together but if you see a spot, you just tuck something in it. And they produce soooo much!! I love how you let your heart tell you what to plant where all willy nilly!!!
Becky the property is gorgeous! I’d never leave the garden ❤ Very well planned, planted and produced! So clean too👏🏻👏🏻
Hello from New York. I started my garden a little later this year than normal. So I was thrilled to go out and find a huge blossom on my zucchini plant and a video from Becky today.😊
Your garden and landscaping on your property is just so beautiful!! I would be thankful to have some fresh tomatoes. I miss my Mom's big garden. She was always harvesting and canning, freezing food. She always tried to have a few fresh tomatoes by July 4th. Today is my Mom's birthday. She would have been 98. She passed in 1990. I like how close your family is and love your videos. How old is your little one now? God is so good!
Your back garden is so beautifully manicured!!
Great video once again. You and Josh wear many hats, showing us a kind and loving relationship with each other and your homestead. I learn from these episodes, ponder how I could make some ideas feasible, and have the added bonus of enjoying you and your family’s calm yet determined collaboration-prepping food helping each other and doing all this with poise and grace..
Becky, what about putting pumpkins over in the in-ground beds? They could spread out and ramble and they do a fair job of suppressing weeds
Been watching your channel for 2 years...what a treat! Love the nice long videos I hate to see them end. Lol.
Becky, you just amaze me with all the things you grow. Wheat - OMG! That is amazing. It is so fun to watch your garden grow. And now you and Josh are beekeepers. It is always exciting to see what you are up to. Have a great day!
From my experience the slugs will climb over eggshells and keep heading towards the plants you are trying to protect. The beer is poured in to a swhallow container bured to soil level, the idea is tbat they are attracted to the beer fall in and drown.
Early morning is my favorite time in the garden. Your garden looks beautiful and peaceful. What an awesome blueberry harvest you're going to have. Don't be discouraged about garden fails - every one of us gardeners experiences it😊
You are so sweet Becky, humble and such a beautiful treat. Thank you for sharing your life with us.♥️🌹
Just based on your shadows and which plants are doing better, it looks like left side of your garden (looking out from the house ) is getting more sunlight. (Number of hours) Plants will always follow the sun.
Becky, I have finally become so excited to see the flowers grow and see the blooms. I am not a gardener (I am more a cheerleader for those who are). Brown thumb is my AKA. Thank you for treating us like we are right there visiting with you.
You mentioned that your previous property was shadier which is probably why you had more success with cabbage and cauliflower in the summer. Brassicas do better in the fall anyway so maybe start some seeds for those and grow them through the fall and winter
Your garden looks marvelous! I love a garden where you can see and smell the earth.
Your garden is absolutely beautiful!! You work so hard, and it is sure paying off! Thanks Josh & Becky for the amazing videos! ❤
Great garden update! You can hang Irish Spring soap around places you want to keep deer away from.
Cabbage is cool weather crop. Here we plant it in the fall often overwintering it and harvesting in march. Get much less disease and pests that way too. So as you said gardening dont give up. Try one or 2 fall/winter beds. Lettuce kale broccoli cabbage and maybe cauliflower goes in that? Dk cause Ivd never grown that.
Your garden is absolutely beautiful. Looks so peaceful.
You garden looks AMAZING IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for the tour. 😊😋🌺🌻🌼🌷🪻⚘️🌹🫛🥦🍅🥕🧅🥔
Hi Becky! We lived in Albany in the 2000’s, we used mint mulch which at that time we purchased from local mint farmers. The slugs wouldn’t cross the mint mulch. Then in the fall we’d just til it in. This stuff was a win win for dealing with slugs.
Becky, thank you for the garden tour and update. It is always a great day when it is spent with you. ❤❤❤
the best part is sipping coffee and observing, so relaxing!
Re the raspberries - fruit happens on year two canes. Don't prune back year one canes. I love your space - I just have a city lot.
I've given up on trying to grow brassica! I've tried for over a decade and the white moths lay their eggs on Kale, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts. I've tried bug netting on my vertical planters last year and the moths found their way in. I've officially given up!! Thanks for the content Becky, you're journey has been so fun to follow!
Living Traditions Homestead had tons of afids. They fogged 1/2 water 1/2 milk & got rid of them. Sprayed also to start.

I'm so pleased to see garden tours again! I wait all winter for Beckys garden tours. ❤
I've been going back and watching all your old videos and I feel like family.
Thank you love seeing your beautiful garden.
Thank you for all your time and wonderful information Becky! I still can’t believe how you manage so much! Just spectacular grounds!❤
Good morning Becky.!
🌞 Hi 👋 from the Florida panhandle.
Your garden is beautiful.!
I'm looking forward to having my own home again and planting nice eat out of boxes full of salads and beautiful flowers.
Thank you for sharing with us.
Many blessings to you and your family.
God bless you and keep you safe.
Would love to see a video where you go through the garden and lawn area since it has been about a year since the landscaping was finished. What you like about the set up, what you might of done differently. It still looks amazing.
Yes. A garden tour. I love them❤
I grabbed up two bundles of garlic scape from my farmer's market this week. I've never known those existed, and I processed them like I had seen you do. I now have a gallon ziploc full of scoops of scapes!
Hello Becky, this is Cindy from Florida !😮🎉 egg shells are great for the soil! make sure you got those egg shells clean because they can cause salmonella I think is what it is and infect your plants and everything else so make sure that they’re washed out really good and they’re dried out I guess in the sun.. the fact that you were now raising bees is gonna make your garden even more beautiful!
Looks fantastic! Gardening is so much fun! Glad things are producing for you ❤
Becky. I went to a wholesale place and got 5 lbs of washed 3 times garlic. All in cloves today i made the pucks, i did 2 trays today. They are freezing. Have 2 more pounds to go. Thank you for shareing. Hugs
Your garden, your chickens, and your bees are doing really well! Cheers from 🇨🇦Calgary, Alberta 🇨🇦
Everything's so beautiful Becky it's so satisfying to watch things grow then start harvesting it's like a gift ❤😊 love it beautiful garden
Such a beautiful garden Becky , love what you are growing and what you have achieved
Wow....
Becky...That was so much fun...
Thank you for sharing...😊
We are in the same state and it’s so relieving seeing that you’re having a slower start this year as well. This year has been interesting with the weather changes!
Keep up the great work ❤
Glad those are flowers, look like thistles. Thanks for the update. Always amazing
Everything is looking beautiful!
Loved your tour! Garden looks fantastic Becky:) Tarragon- add to chicken salad with chopped grapes, outstanding flavor combo!
I agree with a shorter row of snaps in the front but I would do a shorter row in the back as well so the tomatoes get more sun while they’re small. Plus the effect would still be pretty in a hill.
Becky, planting some lavender and clover would be good for your bees. Plus, make your honey taste delicious.
Your yard is gorgeous and your garden amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful garden--a reflection of your hard work and dedication. God bless.
I do the same thing. I truly love everything Becky does. She is such a wonderful resource on plants and food.
Everything looks wonderful! LOVE your flowers 😊
Hi Becky, we would always seem to have a slug problem with my grams garden. I remember my uncle would put rock salt on the slugs. You might try that trick if the other methods fail. You could also use a concentrate of vinegar and salt in a water bottle and squirt the slugs with that. Usually cures the slug problem quickly. Your garden is looking beautiful. I'm so excited to see how it comes along this summer. It is amazing how much your homestead has changed over the past year.
