I've done container gardens for years in the same type of buckets. I just drill holes in the bottom of the buckets. I filled the whole bucket with miracle grow potting soil. I use chicken fence wire and make a trellis around it. We cut several holes where we could stick our hand in to pick the tomatoes. But the makeshift trellis gives it something to hold the plant up. I catch rain water in a bucket and use that to water the plants.
I really have had the most enjoyment out of the planters. I go look at them everyday and watch their progress. I plan on expanding on the tomato cage as soon as my tomatoes out grow it. Hopefuly next year I will have a bigger garden to play in.
I think "I'm about to monkey" has something to do with being very hot. Right? 😂 You did a fabulous job on the garden Becky! I know how much hard work goes into making a new garden, I have made several. It looks so beautiful, and you repurposed several items too, that is always nice when you can do that. I love the trellis, it turned out so wonderful and looks really awesome! You are very talented! The veggies look like they will do good too and I love the plant in the boot, it's really cool, the plant looks kind of like a spider plant, not sure though. I was thinking, it would be fun if you could try growing some sunflowers sometime. What a great video, thank you! 🌻🦉❤🦉🌻
Yes that’s what it means, and that you are just before falling out. They use that term in the fields when it’s so hot and you just can’t go any further.
Hi Becky’ WOW you did a beautiful job! Everything looks so pretty! I give you a lot of credit,using all of those tools,and digging and planting! Gardening is HARD WORK!!! Can’t wait to see how everything grows! You made me laugh so hard,I can only imagine how the car smelled from manure😂I hope you weren’t real close to cars at red lights and stop signs,Hee!Hee!🥰
That corner will fill in and be beautiful! I put my tomatoes and peppers in 5 gallon pots this year….they’re doing so much better and easier to care for. Great job! - watching from Lake Wales, Florida
TFS. You did great. Gardening is like any other skill you will learn what works and what does not work for your lifestyle, your home, location and budget. I will tell you start Marigolds and sunflowers from seed. I just use very good organic soil, grow lamp and solo cups. You will be even more amazed at how much your gardening budget will stretch. Also if you can protect that wood. What a neat piece of history to have in your family possibly for many generations to come. You made a wonderful trellis. I will tell you I am no professional but love to garden so taught myself. I made a lot of mistakes. I try to share what I have learnt it might help others. I did not have a tiller. I always did hand till every piece of my yard by hand and worked in my own hand made compost and good soil. I only did a small area each year because of having to do it by hand. You did great. Just keep your beds well weeded and fed and properly watered. It will all be great.
Thank you so much, I am really interested in learning about compost. We use lots of eggs and coffee around here so I thought those would be good to use. Any advise on that?
You are so innovative and handy. I love how you just whip yourself up a trellis. It turned out great. I love getting my hands dirty and playing in my garden. Can’t say I’ve done any tilling though. You get it girl!
When that urge to homestead and get your fingers in the soil strikes, it's best to just give in to it! 😄 I think, through a lot of hard work and sweat, you have achieved what you set out to do. It already looks good and as time passes the rewards will just get better. It does look like the soil there is hard and compacted which doesn't lend itself to easy gardening. But you persevered. Great job!
I did! I’m proud of myself too. I think if the weather didn’t get so stinking hot here in NC I would stay outside a whole lot more. This is the perfect time of year to get things like this done. Soon it will be unbearable.
OMG girl you are amazing! Had to smile watching little you with that machine! You’re so good at this n such a hard worker. One of my favorite videos, so happy for the joy you will feel each time you pull in your driveway!!
Good Afternoon Becky! Oh my girl you did a Fantastic job on your project. I Learned something new how to plant tomato plants. That is pretty clever. I Love how you birdbath turned out. That area is going to be so Gorgeous when all done. You and David worked very hard. I pray you both had a wonderful time at the wedding. Thank you for bringing us along with you and I enjoyed every minute of it. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed day and stay safe my dear and Special Friends. ❤❤❤
I started with herbs and tomatoes. Both did really well last year. We did it again this year and have added quite a few things. Last year, all the herbs, tomatoes and even the cucumbers were beautiful and came out great! You could always try like parsley, cilantro, basil, whatever you cook with would be my suggestion. 😊
I want to try all of those things. Next year I will go bigger. I just ran out of buckets and wasn’t really sure if what I did would work out. I have really enjoyed my little garden so far though. I rush home every day to check on it.
You rocked those power tools. Great job on making your flower garden. It looks beautiful. Always call that plant in the boot monkey grass probably not it's proper name lol. Through my life gardening I always plant what makes me happy n hope for the best doesn't always work but mostly flourishes. Have an awesome weekend.
@@MyLittleVintageHome plant. I've always used them as my boarder for sidewalks, flowerbeds, driveways etc ..There's a solid green leaf one n the one you have which should have a form of small purple blooms at times.
I have learned after many years,plants and $$$ what NOT to waste my time and money on. I have rocks with clay holding the rocks together and a very natural landscape-called doing nothing. So I build raised beds with the rocks bring in soil and plant deer resistant drought tolerant - the more invasive the better- to give some color and texture around the house. 30 years of learning and I still have trouble getting a garden to survive, between my black thumb, the deer and the ever loving ground squirrels, I try about every other year.😅this is not that year. I will try to get more structure in place. You did a real nice job!
You sound like me with those "ever loving squirrels" LOL. I think that is all such good advice. I truly don't know the in's and out's of what kind of yard I have just yet. I never did anything because I felt like it was so much work to get the grass up. Now that I have my tiller I know i can do pretty much anything. I am also learning about compost and adding nutrients to my existing soil. Maybe in a few years I will have the yard of my dreams.
Sorry to rattle on again -- but about 10 yrs ago i had a family member pick me up a garden tiller. But it was just too big etc for me for when i used it, it would make my hands go numb. Then we got a smaller one & another family member accidentally messed it up lol. Then i went & got myself a small electric one --- it is more my size and i can use it without help. :)
It looks great! I think that plant in the boot is a variegated lily turf and you could take it out of the boot and divide it in 2 even though it is kind of small, put it in the ground in your flower bed and it will get much bigger. You can divide it every few years even and have more for around your landscape for free. Just time and patience!
@@MyLittleVintageHome lily turf is an ornamental grass that puts out these pretty little purple flowers in the summer. It's not like a daylily type plant, but they are easy to grow and fill in spaces with nice texture.❤
Thank you Tammy, I am starting to get the love for it back again. I used to do alot more in our old home, my mom was alive then and she would root all kinds of things and help me plant them. Gardening makes me think of her.
Hey lady. LOVE how this came out. We have been trying to do our yard for weeks but the rain just won't quit! Our neighbor was pressure washing in the rain. I looked at my husband and he said NOPE! hahaha! Maybe this weekend. Pray! The plant in your boot is LIRIOPE.
This is my first time with any type of planting and the buckets seem to be working great. My only problem now is one of my tomatoes have outgrown the cage so I am going to have to put together some sort of climbing trelis.
The 3 bushes you bought are called heavenly bamboo. They can get very tall, mine were 12 foot tall when I moved here. I cut them in half. They develop berries in the fall that are toxic. Everything looks great, you should be proud of yourself 😊
I have never planted tomato plants in bucket BUT i have a friend & her hubby do & they always look & do great. My veg. garden is always in the ground. Though this yr i purchased on line 2 metal type raised beds to try it (will see how that turns out but most veggies put in the ground. As for flowers (annuals & perinials) i tend to go overboard ha ha. Wanted to tell you that merigolds are so hearty & tho they are annuals, they do volunteer (even here in nebraska). And there are several kinds of merigolds -- my opinion you can never go wrong w/merigolds. Merigolds do great even when just plant from seeds too.
Well Becky,your vision came out beautifully. You created a very nice space in your yard to enjoy for a long time. 😊. You and your daughter were too cute together. God bless and have a wonderful Friday…..🍃💗🍃
I know and maybe next year when my husband is able to build me some raised beds I will definitely do that but my bucket that I put together with the milk jugs was way too tight. I should have used a smaller wicking vessel. I don't think there was a single inch to space once I added my tomatoes.
Becky, it looks so good! Even though you claim to not be a gardener or a carpenter, or "know nuthin' about nuthin'" (😂😂), you have inspired me! I cannot keep plants alive, but every year, I try to plant more and more. And I am getting better at it. So this year, I was thinking about adding on to our landscaping on a new area of the house, but I was in fear, mainly because of my lack of knowledge. Watching you be so fearless has definitely inspired me to just go for it! What you have accomplished in your yard looks amazing and is proof that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it! You rock! Great video! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
You go girl! You are too cute! Remember. Everybody starts at the beginning. Your burros always make me smile. I live in Sanford, NC and it gets miserably hot and dry here too. 😊
You did such a Wonderful job! I love the way that you put that trellis together, and also using the stones from the fire pit. That was very creative! Everything looks so nice! I need to start working on my flower beds too. I have a small tiller like yours. My husband got it for me a few years ago. I absolutely love it! I never could handle the larger tillers. Thanks for sharing, and giving us such great ideas! I love your videos! Take care, and have a great weekend!
Where have I been? What in the world happened to your husband 😳? I hope he is okay. I am very proud of you for getting it done. You did a great job and it looks great ❤❤
We’ve had an eventful few weeks for sure. He was lifting something entirely too heavy and pulled his bicep from the tendon. He had to have surgery to have it fixed and I have lost my handy man. 😩
It's a job girl but you did good 👍. I did get tickel when you took holt of tiller and it looked like it was pulling you to start off with. I enjoyed this video . Oh that looks like monkey grass in that shoe container and thoses Nadine bushes with white blooms will turn into red berries I have them . ❤
It is Darlene, at least I know I didn't make it look easier that it is because I came out looking like I had fought a war. LOL You could see it on my face and hear it in my voice. The plants in my bird bath are holding up great they have already taken up root.
Hi Becky, love how enterprising you are in this video 😂. Your daughter’s pop bottle would have made a good water reservoir. I grow tomatoes every year and usually from 2 Romas I get enough tomatoes to make all of our salsa, pasta sauce, pizza sauce and tomato sauce to do us all winter as well as fresh tomatoes in the summer. Don’t forget to pick out the suckers which grow in the apex of each branch (promotes better growth). Also, if you ask for indeterminate type tomatoes, they produce fruit longer than determinate types. I have run a tiller many times and it’s not easy, so kudos to you! You will love the jasmine because they smell wonderful. I wish I could grow one in my zone, but, alas 😢 I wouldn’t worry too much about your sedum, just don’t water it very often (they like drier soil). It does make great ground cover. There are many types of sedum, if you check at your garden Center, they will have more and it should be inexpensive. Your other bushes look like false spirea (Sorbaria). Great job, Becky, I felt for you when you looked so hot! 🥵. A shower must have felt awesome!🚿
'I think I have found my new "go to" person for gardening advice. Oh and when you get a minute send me your salsa recipe. That is going to be the first thing I make with my tomatoes.
I'm pretty sure the 3 bushes you planted with the white conical flowers are ornamental bamboo. I had one in a zone 9 yard. It only got morning sun but did very well. My husband got into a pruning mood one day and took the plant down to about 6 inches. I was sure he had killed it, but, that thing grew back even better than before! Oh, the white flowers turn into beautiful red berries in the winter.
You are the second person to tell me that it is a form of bamboo. I had no idea when I picked them out. I hope they stay contained to my flower beds otherwise I may have to replant them. We are usually pretty good at keeping up with trimming the shrubs around here. (David is) Hopefully it will look ok.
Hi Becky, it was so nice to see you and Summer laughing...so joyful... Jasmine grows like crazy here in my gardening zone 9...I have to regularly prune it. It will grow up on anything that is not moving: fences, trees, even a shovel or tool leaning on the fence...lol... I hope yours does as well. Wishing you a glorious garden!! Daisy and her stick brought a big smile to my face, thank you!
You did such a nice job! You created and planted a whole flower bed, so you should be proud of yourself. Everything looks really good!❤
Thank you so much Deb!
I really love your videos. You are so cute and sweet and down to earth. You worked really hard on your front yard and it looks beautiful. 🙂🩷🌷💜💐💚🌻

Thank you Sherry. I rush home every day and check the progress of my tomatoes. I never thought I would be so excited over a tomato bush. lol!
Be sure to feed your tomatoes some food especially when they start to flower. And girl, you can use those power tools!
I have been using miracle grow. Do you suggest anything particular?
Dang girl!!! Is there anything you CANT do?! 😂 It looks absolutely amazing! Beautiful job! ♥️👏🏼🌿🌱🪴🌼
You're so sweet, I just had a good teacher to teach me how to drill the screws in. It wasn't hard at all.
Hi Becky’
WOW you did a beautiful job! Everything looks so pretty! I give you a lot of credit,using all of those tools,and digging and planting!

Thank you Denise, I can’t wait to make my first bath of homemade salsa from my garden. It’s so exciting.
Hi Becky wow love the corner bird bath it's going to look amazing ..Well done ❤🍅🌶️🌱the chickens sound nice too🐓.
Wouldn't they be so much fun! I already have a nice shady spot picked out for them. Maybe next year.
That corner will fill in and be beautiful! I put my tomatoes and peppers in 5 gallon pots this year….they’re doing so much better and easier to care for. Great job! - watching from Lake Wales, Florida

It has been raining a lot here too. I am thankful for it but it really cuts out on all my plans. Not to even mention the humidity.
My whole vegetable garden is in containers or buckets. So much easier to care for. Landscaping looks great.
This is my first time with any type of planting and the buckets seem to be working great. My only problem now is one of my tomatoes have outgrown the cage so I am going to have to put together some sort of climbing trelis.
😂WAIT, I'm a Juanita planter!! I don't do nature, I live in NYC so it's pocket gardens and concrete for me.
LOL! Believe me I am still a Juanita planter too. As a matter of fact I was just looking for some faux hanging planters from Temu! 😂
I just watched your video. You are so funny. Good luck with the garden.
Oh and I subscribed just to see how this all turns out. You’re awesome!🌸🪴
Great yard work looks awesome. Maybe place a solar spot light towards the Angel fountain to light up that corner. 👍❤️
That's a great idea, I had thought some solar lights would look nice.

We've all been there haven't we. lol 🐵
Well Becky,your vision came out beautifully. You created a very nice space in your yard to enjoy for a long time. 😊. You and your daughter were too cute together. God bless and have a wonderful Friday…..🍃💗🍃
Thank you Daretta, she's my little side kick. She's usually up for what ever adventure I have planned. Both of my girls are. I am a blessed mama!
Your marigolds need to be next to your plants, in the same bucket, not in a planter outside of the plants, just thought I'd share that with you.
I know and maybe next year when my husband is able to build me some raised beds I will definitely do that but my bucket that I put together with the milk jugs was way too tight. I should have used a smaller wicking vessel. I don't think there was a single inch to space once I added my tomatoes.

We’ve had an eventful few weeks for sure. He was lifting something entirely too heavy and pulled his bicep from the tendon. He had to have surgery to have it fixed and I have lost my handy man. 😩
It's a job girl but you did good 👍. I did get tickel when you took holt of tiller and it looked like it was pulling you to start off with. I enjoyed this video . Oh that looks like monkey grass in that shoe container and thoses Nadine bushes with white blooms will turn into red berries I have them . ❤
That tiller just about took me with it. lol🤣
Wait til.you see that jasmine grow! It will be huge and smell amazing.
I check on it every day. I absolutely can't wait. Plus I have two in the back yard that I hope to climb on my pergola.
You did a lot of work and it looks nice pat yourself on the back. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Janette, I think it's pretty too. Just a little update and not too over the top.
You really worked hard. Yard work is much harder than people think. I love how your bird bath looks now. Everything looks great ❤😊

Becky, you have done a beautiful job with your garden bed hats off to you.😊
Thank you Elaine!
The flower bed is looking beautiful, that was a lot of hard work Becky.
Thank you Angela! Yes soooo much work but it was worth it.
amazing ! 😊.
All your hard work will turn out to be a beautiful sight for your eyes as well as for your tummy!
YES! I can't wait to make my first bowl of homemade salsa!
Looks good. I’m sure your tired but great job😊
I was SOOO tired but it really was worth it.
Good job!
Hi Becky, love how enterprising you are in this video 😂. Your daughter’s pop bottle would have made a good water reservoir.
I grow tomatoes every year and usually from 2 Romas I get enough tomatoes to make all of our salsa, pasta sauce, pizza sauce and tomato sauce to do us all winter as well as fresh tomatoes in the summer.
Don’t forget to pick out the suckers which grow in the apex of each branch (promotes better growth). Also, if you ask for indeterminate type tomatoes, they produce fruit longer than determinate types.
I have run a tiller many times and it’s not easy, so kudos to you!
You will love the jasmine because they smell wonderful. I wish I could grow one in my zone, but, alas 😢
I wouldn’t worry too much about your sedum, just don’t water it very often (they like drier soil). It does make great ground cover. There are many types of sedum, if you check at your garden Center, they will have more and it should be inexpensive.
Your other bushes look like false spirea (Sorbaria).
Great job, Becky, I felt for you when you looked so hot! 🥵. A shower must have felt awesome!🚿
'I think I have found my new "go to" person for gardening advice. Oh and when you get a minute send me your salsa recipe. That is going to be the first thing I make with my tomatoes.
@@MyLittleVintageHome Absolutely, I will help however I can 😀 and I will email my recipe 🪴🍅🌶️
You did a great job Becky!
Thank you Carolyn❤️
I'm pretty sure the 3 bushes you planted with the white conical flowers are ornamental bamboo. I had one in a zone 9 yard. It only got morning sun but did very well. My husband got into a pruning mood one day and took the plant down to about 6 inches. I was sure he had killed it, but, that thing grew back even better than before! Oh, the white flowers turn into beautiful red berries in the winter.
You are the second person to tell me that it is a form of bamboo. I had no idea when I picked them out. I hope they stay contained to my flower beds otherwise I may have to replant them. We are usually pretty good at keeping up with trimming the shrubs around here. (David is) Hopefully it will look ok.
@@MyLittleVintageHome This type of bamboo isn't invasive. I think you'll be very happy with them. 🙂
💖👍🏻💖
It looks really nice. 💞
Thank you Sheila!
Looking forward to watching your gardens 🌼 grow.
Have a great weekend 😊
Thanks so much Elaine! I can't wait for some yummy tomatos!
@@MyLittleVintageHome And, toasted tomato sandwiches!
❤❤❤❤❤
Good job 👏 I know it’s gonna look good. Cool idea with the milk jugs.
Thanks Kim, how is your garden coming along?
@@MyLittleVintageHome it’s thriving! This rain everyday has really made it grow!
It looks beautiful 😍
Thanks Deborah!
Hi Becky, it was so nice to see you and Summer laughing...so joyful...
Jasmine grows like crazy here in my gardening zone 9...I have to regularly prune it. It will grow up on anything that is not moving: fences, trees, even a shovel or tool leaning on the fence...lol...
I hope yours does as well.
Wishing you a glorious garden!!
Daisy and her stick brought a big smile to my face, thank you!
Thanks Leslie, I hope it grows a lot in the back yard where my pergola is. I planted two jasmine there too. I want it to be covered.
@@MyLittleVintageHome How are the ones in the backyard doing?
They are doing well, I wouldn’t say they have grown too much but they are green and lush and seem to be doing ok.
Very nice job.❤
Thank you so much Lori!
