Becky, I need to tell you, when you get ready to harvest your garlic, if you're planning on freezing those little pucks of garlic puree again: DON'T cure your garlic! Today I spent less than 30 minutes peeling and blending up 8 entire heads of fresh garlic. When they're fresh and not cured, you can just cut off the roots and squeeze the cloves right out of their skins. It's SO MUCH easier! I will still cure garlic for long term storage, but for the freezer garlic, I'm NEVER going to use anything but fresh garlic ever again.
You should put up a bat house or two on the deer fence poles. One single bat can eat over 1,000 mosquito-sized insects in one night! Bats also help pollinate plants.
In my culture bats are considered as in auspicious to be in and around the house as normally bats occupy places which are abandoned away from human living sites
FYI ON ELDERBERRY I have them, they do speed and can become uncontrolled. I like mine because i harvest a lot for jam and the more the better for me personally. You should know this though. If you give it a home they will make more. So having a boarder or something might be something to look into if that's not your long-term goal. Personally I like to pot up the pups and sell them or share them.
I think you need a wagon. You could put your equipment in it and wheel the wagon where you need it. Also, it would be handy to move your plants from the Grow Room to the garden. Just a thought. 🌺
So do I. It's very helpful visualizing things in my brain even if I know what they are. Soooooo great Editing and Video Creating Becky 👏👏👏!!! You Rock 💐💚!!!
Hi Becky! I would suggest getting a wheelbarrow or cart, something that would allow you to transport multiple plant flats down that hill to the garden. Even better, a Gator. That could save you a lot of effort/time in non value adding labor.
Canada has various growing zones....there are places that don't get a lot of snow or. super cold temperatures....I have sage that comes back every year...but rosemary doesn't...
Why did i think you were going to plant one of your towers with herbs? Can you imagine corriander, parsley, etc. growing right in front of the kitchen! Maybe just me dreaming? I'm so happy to see your dreams come true Becky! ❤❤ From Toronto
Becky had said at one point before the raised beds were even started that She was going to grow some herbs up by the house. I believe She was going to do it along side the back of Her Grow House where the trees used to be. She also said She wanted to plant a Leefy Green up there also for salads. That way She wouldn't have to walk down to the Big Garden for quick Salads. It's ALL So EXCITING!!! What an amazing job She's done ✨🍀💛!!!
don't know if you'll see this but the Tabasco Peppers should not be planted at the same time as other peppers...after your last frost....but actually after night time temps won't fall below 55 degrees during their growing season...you spoke about pepper plants and temps below 50 degrees but Tobasco needs a higher nighttime temp....it's a Gulf Coast Plant which means very high temps during it's growing season so you need the higher temps in your area
Becky! Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤ You give me inspiration everyday!! You make me a better person each and everyday and I can’t thank you enough🥰♥️🥰
I understand if you don't want baby Acre on video, but where is the baby while you are gardening? Myself when kids were little (no YT then), my kids grew up in the garden!
Sending you so much love ❤. Don't apologize. Take care of yourself and your family ❣️ you don't owe anyone an explanation. You are a warrior! You have been fighting for everything and working so hard for everything. ❤ I hope you find some peace and healing for your family sending so much love and prayers. It's gonna be raw but I. Thee d you're going to grow 🪴 he is a lovely man thank you for sharing him.
You should get yourself a cart to keep your tools, pots and trays etc in order, Becky. That way you just wheel it around and keep all the clutter on board.
Becky, you are doing an amazing job. You have a busy life with Josh, a baby, family and friends gatherings and running your own thriving business. That being said, your 20 garden beds, 4 green stalks, various planter pots, etc is a monumental task that will take time to get all planted out. You also have weather to work around. It will all come together. Just breath.💕💕
when those are on sale at my local store I buy a ton of them bring them home divide them and freeze them with my vacuum sealer works out perfect and when you want to make the egg roll in a bowl pull it out maybe 10 mins before it will still be crisp
I want to tell you I love your videos. I love that you just talk the whole time. I mean this in the kindest way, I’ve been really sick today and my brain would not let my body rest so I put on your videos and your voice is so chill that I’ve been able to relax. Also, I’m soo impressed with all the things you do.
I have been watching you for a long while now and I know you have grown celery and this year is my first year frowning them I found some seed and planted them they took forever to germinate and are taking forever to grow whats your tricks and tips? Maybe you can do a video in celery.
We absolutely love the egg roll in a bowl. My husband and I are keeping it in our monthly rotation of dinners. Happy cooking, baking and gardening, Debbie Lavigne ❤
@Tanya Briggs that sounds good. I wouldn't have thought of eating it over sweet potatoes. It sounds nutritious. I use ground pork and we really like the flavor. What prompted you to use the radish and sweet potatoes? That's so creative!!! Happy cooking and baking, Debbie Lavigne 😋 ♥️
Just a heads up, bird houses/baths in your garden may result in plant volunteers 😂 Birds poop whole, voable seeds sometimes. My cactus garden now had various flowers and stuff. I moved the bird bath and feeders to my front yard where the birds can naturally seed the succulent/plumeria gardens. I will let it all grow until I can tell what it is. Super fun!
Three things that would seem to really save time and loss. 1) finish deer fence so they don’t eat it all. 2) finish irrigation 3) use the four wheeler you bought to haul all that stuff up and down. Put it next to where you are working for shade. Keep drinks in it plus phone, hats, gloves. As much as you like birds, they will peck berries, tomatoes, and much else.
@@jelatinosa she definitely said she was doing a bird bath....but I agree birds in the area not a good idea....hummingbirds are different they do the pollinating...but need water
I meticulously plan my garden all winter and into spring when starting seeds. Planting time and chaos gardening sets in! I’m full into chaos now and come June 1 my garden beds should be warm enough for my peppers. Tomatoes go in on Friday, peppers a few days after and a good watering of warm water for a few weeks. I have no idea what egg plants need so I will treat as tomatoes!! Yey🎉 for chaos.
I love watching your channel! Look forward to it all the time...the thing I notice tho is that your dialog is repetitive. Maybe try add in how you plan to use the plant, or what you expect as the plant grows. Spice it up a bit...no pun intended! 😊
I so hope I find the perfect (for me) land for my homestead this summer. It would be so much fun to grow and ferment food at a larger scale next spring. 🙏🏻 My plan is also to grow a year’s worth of most of my food and then buy whatever I can’t grow enough of from farmers.
Girl I’m warn out 😳, you really amaze me how much you get done in a morning 🤗. I love seeing the seeds grow into plants and then the best part harvesting them . I can’t believe how fast the months are going, in the Uk spring has been 🤔not good but we are getting good dry spells and it’s all go to catch up on outdoor jobs. You take care x
Becky, my family has been gardening for year's. While I learned a lot from my grandparents and parents and just trial and error, it is always nice to learn something new. And I do every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for sharing what you have learned with all of us. I also wanted to suggest creating a wind break once your deer fencing goes in. Perhaps a creeping IVY or even black berry bushes. My Aunt and Uncle have a nice size garden down in the southern part of Oregon, gets a lot of wind, but the berry bushes make a wonderful wind break and are beautiful to look at only down fall is they do need to be trimmed . Just a thought to keep the wind from being too much.
Great job Becky! What a ton of work, but such an accomplishment…looks beautiful! Hope you got to rest and enjoy the remainder of the day with your family !
Becky hi its Sarah your fan from Kingston NY , re your hat, if its not too late, let the dirt dry and brush it off with a short bristle brush like a nail brush (example) . Then the hat can be washed with your sink sprayer and if needed gentle liquid soap. Dry hat in the sun having stuffed with brown paper, not newspaper. Keep the brim as flat as possible! Good Luck😉
Hi Becky, I love your outdoor videos in the garden. With all of the wind at your house I know some other UA-cam channels have purchased some clip on wireless microphones and it cuts the wind noise. We would be able to even hear you from a distance. Just a suggestion I didn't know if you knew about them.
I absolutely love watching your videos! I work in a greenhouse, and I'm sure your peppers will be just fine! I see that all the time. I live in Maine so the last frost can be tricky and night temps all over the place in april/may! They get a little stunned but bounce back fairly quickly! Thank you for sharing your gardening with all of us!!
I enjoy your video so much!! I started my first garden when we moved to Vancouver, WA. It was so much fun! Seven years later we moved to Albuquerque, NM. Learning to garden a mile high in the dry, windy, high desert has been quite an experience!!😂. There have been some successes and some not so fun years. But I too learn something new every year! I’m still waiting to plant out my peppers! 😊
I grew up in Eastern Washington but did live in Vancouver, Wa for a while! I moved to Albuquerque 30 yrs ago and yes, gardening in the high desert is definitely a challenge! I am getting the hang of it now after putting so much organic material into my garden beds over the last few years and have been having some fun with it now!
I live in Albuquerque New Mexico as well, it is super difficult to grow in the dry desert of a city. I’ve been trying for years and I hope that learning from Becky I will have some successes.
Havee y'all headr of Geoff Lawton? He has a long term permaculture garden, i believe in Jordan. If you go thru his channel, im sure you could pick up some tricks to help your gardens. Good luck, and God bless!
Your plants would prefer a deeper watering with softer pressure. You might have problems with having different water needs plants in the same bed or irrigation zone
Good morning Becky. I love watching your cooking videos. Sorry not the gardening. I am retired and not needing all the veggies to can. Makes me tired just watching you in that garden! More cooking please😋
I watched this from a VERY rainy corner of Bulgaria. It was too wet to get out in the garden today, so I watched you in yours instead. Thanks for taking me along to enjoy the sun and planting time xx
My sage, lavander and rosemary return each year. The key here in Canada is cover some nights leading to May 24. I was pleased my geraniums return if covered or pots moved to garage. Looking nice Becky
The garden looks Amazing!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes, wisdom and memories with us. You're truly blessed Becky. Have a blessed and beautiful day.
Becky, I’m a new gardener and I’ve learned soooo much from you!! I was wondering if you had any plans to do a series on each type of plant, and talk about how to prune, fertilize, etc.. If so, you already have a fan lol
Always fun watching you gardening as you continue to choose where and what vegetables will be planted. You work hard and most of all enjoy the process its really looking good can't wait to see what's next.
Becky future recipe idea*** Your garden is looking soo beautiful great job on the layout. I can't wait to see you harvest! Could you possibly make sun dried tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes in EVOO recipe making them in the sun vs oven vs dehydrator. I feel it would be a great way to preserve your tomatoes and its a super yummy product!
I had the same problem with my Tabasco peppers. I discovered that they are really slow growing. At the end of last Summer I dug up one plant and brought it in the house in a pot. I survived the Winter. I just gave it a haircut and put it in my garden Agrain, hoping for some success this year. I should have enough to make one batch of hot sauce!
Love, Love, Elderberry. The birds love them, too. Could you take us along for your birdhouse projects? That would be so much fun to learn. Thank you for inspiring us daily! ❤🤗
I also love Elderberries!!! As a teenager I used to have to harvest them for my Mom. Not an easy job for sure. I'd shake the branches into a brown paper bag. Nothing better than an Elderberry Pie or Vanilla Ice Cream with Elderberry Topping on it!!! YUMMY 💜!!! I'm ALWAYS hungry and my mouth watering after Becky's Videos 😅❤, especially the Strawberry Lemonade!!!!
I am so glad that you keep posting lot of videos even after you had your precious baby❤. But I am wondering how you do it - can your hubby watch the baby while you are on the garden etc.? or is the baby chilling next to you in a stroller? I was not able to do anything while my kids were babies... they were so clingy :))
Love your garden, it's beautiful already, can't wait to see it later in the season. We're in zone 7a and our peppers never do much growing until later in the summer, they seem to hate the hot summer days.
Oh my goodness you are so cute! I absolutely love how your little nose gets all dirty, when you’re playing in the dirt. My husband giggles and says you’re just like me. I try to stay clean and I’m quite prissy, but whatever craft, garden, or baking project I’m working on, it’s usually written all over my face (literally). ❤
It's looking amazing! I have oregano and tyme and sage all the herbs growing for years don't plant mint I planted it 20 years ago I'm still pulling it up it is evasive and it will take over I do love it but wow! Everything looks so good
I finally planted out my greenstalk! First time growing in one thanks to you Becky. I'm a first time greenstalk user! Super excited to see what we can grow!
I CAN'T WAIT to purchase a Green Stalk!!! I haven't been able to afford one yet but hopefully this year. I've decided when the time comes I'm going to order the Green 💚 One!!! They are AWESOME!!!
Love your gardening videos, Becky! And your canning videos. Meal prep videos…lol. All of them! ❤ I hope your Tabasco peppers turn out this year. I went to the Tabasco canning facility on Avery Island, LA years ago and it was so interesting hearing the story of how the peppers are mashed and fermented in barrels for up to 5 yrs before the sauce is made. I hope you get satisfaction a little quicker than THAT! 😂 Best of luck with 2023’s garden. 👩🌾🌱🥔🍉🥦🥒🥕🌽🥬🍅🍐🫐🌶️🧄🫛🫑
Becky, you asked for planting suggestions well when we had our garden I had good luck with loofah gourds. It's better with a trellis. Lll LL 0 so many gourds I gave many away to friends and family. I seem to remember you were maybe not so lucky with them but I hope you still try. It's so satisfying to grow something practical that's not food. Okay, so thanks for the videos. Wish we could see baby.
You are going to be so glad you took the time to to the lay the landscape material to block all the darn weeds. Last year i gave up weeding and kicked myself. This year we bought the rolls. Then covered with straw. Everything is already taking off.
You do so much! No wonder you leave stuff right and left! But now, that's quite a large land that you have! It's beautiful and you have a great plan for it. Your videos are my nice break. Bring me a smile. It's inspiring and relaxing :-) Thanks!
Love the bird house idea. Some wind chimes would look really pretty also. Loving the progress you’ve made. It’s going to look so pretty when everything gets big.
Becky i know you have been talking about the herb garden well watch your video where you were folding your trap up you have hubby get some cedar boards to frame the area and put compost and start your herb garden and it is right there and you would see every day and watch grow and get good food from mother earth
You need a three tray outdoor roller cart with large rubber tires (best for gravel) to put all your stuff on to take back and forth from the house and garden.
Becky, Peppers are sensitive to SOIL temperatures as well. I had to buy an analog thermometer (can be used in composted temperature as well if you get one with a long probe.)
It happens to mee the same when the extreme heat comes, I have to put them behind the tomatoes to not be burned so I found easier to pot them so I can move them depending the temperatures from sprung to late summer and fall.
Becky! You talked about having a slug problem in your area. Here, we use beer! Just pour a can of beer into an old butter bowl and set it out in the garden. The slugs love it!
Becky I just love seeing your home and where you live. It’s like a breath of fresh air looking out over the property. I have a lovely home with a small yard that backs to woods. It’s so enjoyable to sit outside with a coffee and feel the breeze, listen to the birds and watch the squirrels and rabbits. I have yet to plant anything in my raised beds. I’m in No VA and it’s time, so I need to get busy. I did plant some new flowers which included two beautiful roses. So far so good with all those! Thank you for filming and taking time to share your home with us.
Wow, that cherry brandy rudbeccia is amazing, I can't wait to see it bloom for you. I With it being so windy where you are, it occurred to me that having the landscape fabric with hold the moisture better, so the wind doesn't dry everything out. You should get one of those garden wagons, to bring your plants or empty pots and such around with you.
Yes, birds are so beautiful! Bird baths and bird houses, bat houses, butterfly houses are so fun in the garden. I think you may owe Josh a new hat if it wont clean up well. You may need a brimmed hat with a chin strap for your windy days. It was fun in the garden today. Have you gotten your little side by side yet? It can be helpful with transporting flats, fertilizer, and moving stuff back and forth.
Just a quick idea I saw this morning….take a colander and make it into a hanging planter with spoons for a wind chime hanging from the bottom….great for vining veggies or editable flowers…and keeps the critters from chowing down on them…. I used my existing fence posts and put hooks fencing towards the garden side…found lots of colanders at the second hand shop and now I have extra grow space for vining veggies and they can snuggle on the fence for support.
Hi Becky! I wanted to thank you for all the amazing content! I grew up spending a lot of time at my grandparents which was 2 hours from our home. My grandparents would visit and then I would ride back to their home and we would stop along the roads and pick elderberries. My grandmother taught me how to can and make jellies and jams. I LOVE elderberry jelly! Since those early days I found a rural nursery that had elderberry plants so I planted them and the harvest was amazing. My husband "accidentally" mowed them down! He knew he was in a lot of trouble when I saw them! LOL I heard you say you were going to be planting some . When I purchase new plants I will plant them in a corner of my fence that I can net. The birds love them and my entire patio and patio furniture was covered in purple bird droppings! It was impossible to enjoy the patio area that whole season. Bye Friend! Terri, R.D.H.😊
I hear you sister. I'm in the same mess. So many seedlings that need to be planted out into the garden . It's getting hot and I don't like working out there in the heat. We plant in the coolest part of the day. I've been working on watering, weeding, and tying up the tomatoes that are in the ground right now. Your onions would benefit from some Ammonium sulfate. I got mine from Hoss tools and they are huge now. My spring crops are established and going like crazy. I had to order some more drip irrigation for the rest of the garden. Just hand watering for now until the irrigation system arrives. I remember one year we planted hot pepper with sweet and they cross pollinated. It was crazy. I want to see you succeed and have an wonderful crop. Good luck. It's fun to watch your progress.
Hi becky. You make me smile every day and I thank you From the bottom off my heart❤ . Everyday should be a becky day. Love the new garden, I hope you enjoy every day you spend in it. Love from sunny Ireland.
Hi! Garden looks fabulous!Up here in Great lakes we put peppers out and some nights hit 40s and they grow quite large and produce alot of fruit. I think that sometimes things are specific for each growing area! King of the North Pepper we use up here bc it does super in cooler temps!
Since you have so much more sun at this homestead, make sure you wear sunscreen friend!! ❤❤❤ Gotta stay safe out there in that beauty! Everything is coming together so beautifully ❤️❤️
An idea of new fruit bushes 'haskap or also called honeyberry'. Taste is between a blueberry and raspberry. I planted 3 myself. 😉 love your gardens 🌿🌱 thank you, Becky.
I have been here from your start. This is such a blessing to watch unfold. Thank you for including us. Could we please get a new mom hood update. I was so happy to hear you are all thriving and already into routine. How have you been doing since everything after having little man?
Just waiting here in middle of Sweden for the "iron nights" ( frost nights) as we call them to be over, need to wait until after first week of June. Alot of plants going out and in.
Greetings from the Florida panhandle, where we are in a cold snap of 88° (90-100% humidity) for this time of year. We don’t break a sweat in 70° with weather here.🤣 On a serious note, I love your show and your energy!. You have inspired so many people with all the information that you share on UA-cam. Thank you so much for everything that you do. Blessings.
I appreciate all you do and share. The good, the bad, and the ugly with us. I've learned so much from you. I going to use the ground cover in my raised beds next year. I believe it works. I used the cheap kind in mine next to the ground this year and it worked. But the heavier will be much better. Thank you
I love my duluth crusher hat. I've had it about 10 years and it still looks great. And yes, it has a strap. I majored in geology and got it for working in the field
Get some hummingbird feeders. They will work with the bees. And hummingbirds are so beautiful. You will see the hummingbirds flying around your flowers 🌺🌺🌺
WOW Becky you are just amazing! I love seeing all your progress, I did not know that about tomatoes and peppers either, that explains why the last 2 years my plants did just OK!
Hi Becky, you have a compilation a lot in the last couple of days. Your parents are so wonderful for helping out. I really miss my dad but your gardens looking beautiful Becky if you can answer a question for me, my flowers are falling off of my tomato plants. I googled it and it said it’s the change of weather is that true?
Becky, I need to tell you, when you get ready to harvest your garlic, if you're planning on freezing those little pucks of garlic puree again: DON'T cure your garlic! Today I spent less than 30 minutes peeling and blending up 8 entire heads of fresh garlic.

I will still cure garlic for long term storage, but for the freezer garlic, I'm NEVER going to use anything but fresh garlic ever again.
Oooh!! Thank you for that!!
So smart. I hope she sees this.
If you do use cured, you can microwave the cloves for 10 -15 seconds and they pop right out
Good to know, ty
Is the taste the same in your opinion? Just curious...
You should put up a bat house or two on the deer fence poles. One single bat can eat over 1,000 mosquito-sized insects in one night! Bats also help pollinate plants.
Yes, yes and yes. They are so easy to build.
In my culture bats are considered as in auspicious to be in and around the house as normally bats occupy places which are abandoned away from human living sites
I was actually just going to say that as well.
GREAT IDEA ❤
Also, bat poop fertilizer is AMAZING. I can just never remember the official name😅 i think it starts with 'g'
FYI ON ELDERBERRY
I have them, they do speed and can become uncontrolled. I like mine because i harvest a lot for jam and the more the better for me personally. You should know this though. If you give it a home they will make more. So having a boarder or something might be something to look into if that's not your long-term goal.
Personally I like to pot up the pups and sell them or share them.
Since your videos are a few weeks behind, could you state the date at the beginning of videos, or put a date on titles
I think you need a wagon. You could put your equipment in it and wheel the wagon where you need it. Also, it would be handy to move your plants from the Grow Room to the garden. Just a thought. 🌺
Stock are my favorite flowers for the smell, but I also really like their look. I love these especially for bouquets and floral arrangements.
I love when you put the picture of the harvested flowers/veggies to help us understand what plants you're working with!
So do I. It's very helpful visualizing things in my brain even if I know what they are. Soooooo great Editing and Video Creating Becky 👏👏👏!!! You Rock 💐💚!!!

I have sage, parsley and several other herbs in my green stalk and they are doing well.
Do the tower herbs easy access!
@Jennifer I think her mom had that?

You are a workhorse Becky and you amaze me by the amount of work you get done. Loved this video, learned a lot.
I’ve always planted Stock in pots outside my front and back doors. In the evening the scent permeates my house and it’s beautiful.
Oh, that makes me want to plant stock now! Sounds lovely!
What varieties can you recommend?
I want to tell you I love your videos. I love that you just talk the whole time. I mean this in the kindest way, I’ve been really sick today and my brain would not let my body rest so I put on your videos and your voice is so chill that I’ve been able to relax.

What a lovely garden space! Congratulations on your first “new home” garden year.
I have been watching you for a long while now and I know you have grown celery and this year is my first year frowning them I found some seed and planted them they took forever to germinate and are taking forever to grow whats your tricks and tips? Maybe you can do a video in celery.
We absolutely love the egg roll in a bowl. My husband and I are keeping it in our monthly rotation of dinners. Happy cooking, baking and gardening, Debbie Lavigne ❤
I've started making mine with less cabbage and using shredded daikon radish. OMG. I actually enjoy it on a baked sweet potato now.
@Tanya Briggs that sounds good. I wouldn't have thought of eating it over sweet potatoes. It sounds nutritious. I use ground pork and we really like the flavor. What prompted you to use the radish and sweet potatoes? That's so creative!!! Happy cooking and baking, Debbie Lavigne 😋 ♥️
Becky it would be lovely if you planted some of your flowers in between your stone wall, a cascade of flowers!!
Just a heads up, bird houses/baths in your garden may result in plant volunteers 😂
Birds poop whole, voable seeds sometimes. My cactus garden now had various flowers and stuff. I moved the bird bath and feeders to my front yard where the birds can naturally seed the succulent/plumeria gardens. I will let it all grow until I can tell what it is. Super fun!

Three things that would seem to really save time and loss. 1) finish deer fence so they don’t eat it all. 2) finish irrigation 3) use the four wheeler you bought to haul all that stuff up and down. Put it next to where you are working for shade. Keep drinks in it plus phone, hats, gloves. As much as you like birds, they will peck berries, tomatoes, and much else.
I was thinking the exact same thing about the birds
I;d put the birds and squirrels that come with them in the front of the house-just me.
The birds peck fruit for the water mostly. To avoid that you need to provide them a preferable water source.
@@jelatinosa she definitely said she was doing a bird bath....but I agree birds in the area not a good idea....hummingbirds are different they do the pollinating...but need water
I’m really excited to see what your late summer garden beds will look like!
Me too! ❤
You got lots done Beckie. You're really keeping on top of keeping your things picked up and organized also.
It's so great to see your new garden take shape! Wishing you and your family many blessings and abundance.❤
I decide when to plant based on soil temperature. I use a soil thermometer.
I meticulously plan my garden all winter and into spring when starting seeds. Planting time and chaos gardening sets in!

I so hope I find the perfect (for me) land for my homestead this summer. It would be so much fun to grow and ferment food at a larger scale next spring. 🙏🏻 My plan is also to grow a year’s worth of most of my food and then buy whatever I can’t grow enough of from farmers.
Girl I’m warn out 😳, you really amaze me how much you get done in a morning 🤗.
I love seeing the seeds grow into plants and then the best part harvesting them .
I can’t believe how fast the months are going, in the Uk spring has been 🤔not good but we are getting good dry spells and it’s all go to catch up on outdoor jobs.
You take care x
Companion plant carrots 🥕 with tomatoes. Try a row or two and replant for fall-your garden is spectacular❣️
Becky, my family has been gardening for year's. While I learned a lot from my grandparents and parents and just trial and error, it is always nice to learn something new. And I do every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for sharing what you have learned with all of us. I also wanted to suggest creating a wind break once your deer fencing goes in. Perhaps a creeping IVY or even black berry bushes. My Aunt and Uncle have a nice size garden down in the southern part of Oregon, gets a lot of wind, but the berry bushes make a wonderful wind break and are beautiful to look at only down fall is they do need to be trimmed . Just a thought to keep the wind from being too much.
Stock flowers if I’m not wrong are the flowers used for funerals. The blooms last for a very long time!
Great job Becky! What a ton of work, but such an accomplishment…looks beautiful! Hope you got to rest and enjoy the remainder of the day with your family !
I would love to see an in-depth tour of the old garden and your plans for it. I love your raised beds.
Becky hi its Sarah your fan from Kingston NY , re your hat, if its not too late, let the dirt dry and brush it off with a short bristle brush like a nail brush (example) . Then the hat can be washed with your sink sprayer and if needed gentle liquid soap. Dry hat in the sun having stuffed with brown paper, not newspaper. Keep the brim as flat as possible! Good Luck😉
Hi Becky, I love your outdoor videos in the garden. With all of the wind at your house I know some other UA-cam channels have purchased some clip on wireless microphones and it cuts the wind noise. We would be able to even hear you from a distance. Just a suggestion I didn't know if you knew about them.
I absolutely love watching your videos! I work in a greenhouse, and I'm sure your peppers will be just fine! I see that all the time. I live in Maine so the last frost can be tricky and night temps all over the place in april/may! They get a little stunned but bounce back fairly quickly! Thank you for sharing your gardening with all of us!!
I enjoy your video so much!! I started my first garden when we moved to Vancouver, WA. It was so much fun! Seven years later we moved to Albuquerque, NM. Learning to garden a mile high in the dry, windy, high desert has been quite an experience!!😂. There have been some successes and some not so fun years. But I too learn something new every year! I’m still waiting to plant out my peppers! 😊
I grew up in Eastern Washington but did live in Vancouver, Wa for a while! I moved to Albuquerque 30 yrs ago and yes, gardening in the high desert is definitely a challenge! I am getting the hang of it now after putting so much organic material into my garden beds over the last few years and have been having some fun with it now!
I live in Albuquerque New Mexico as well, it is super difficult to grow in the dry desert of a city. I’ve been trying for years and I hope that learning from Becky I will have some successes.
Havee y'all headr of Geoff Lawton? He has a long term permaculture garden, i believe in Jordan. If you go thru his channel, im sure you could pick up some tricks to help your gardens. Good luck, and God bless!
Does baby boy love being outside in the garden also? My granddaughter is Loving the outdoors and watching the gardens being planted.
Your plants would prefer a deeper watering with softer pressure. You might have problems with having different water needs plants in the same bed or irrigation zone
Good morning Becky. I love watching your cooking videos. Sorry not the gardening. I am retired and not needing all the veggies to can. Makes me tired just watching you in that garden! More cooking please😋
I watched this from a VERY rainy corner of Bulgaria. It was too wet to get out in the garden today, so I watched you in yours instead. Thanks for taking me along to enjoy the sun and planting time xx
My sage, lavander and rosemary return each year. The key here in Canada is cover some nights leading to May 24.
I was pleased my geraniums return if covered or pots moved to garage.
Looking nice Becky
The garden looks Amazing!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes, wisdom and memories with us. You're truly blessed Becky. Have a blessed and beautiful day.
Becky, I’m a new gardener and I’ve learned soooo much from you!! I was wondering if you had any plans to do a series on each type of plant, and talk about how to prune, fertilize, etc.. If so, you already have a fan lol
Always fun watching you gardening as you continue to choose where and what vegetables will be planted. You work hard and most of all enjoy the process its really looking good can't wait to see what's next.
Becky future recipe idea*** Your garden is looking soo beautiful great job on the layout. I can't wait to see you harvest! Could you possibly make sun dried tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes in EVOO recipe making them in the sun vs oven vs dehydrator. I feel it would be a great way to preserve your tomatoes and its a super yummy product!
Me and my sister both garden in golf visors off amazon, they have extra large brims for good shade and your bun can poke through! ❤
I had the same problem with my Tabasco peppers. I discovered that they are really slow growing. At the end of last Summer I dug up one plant and brought it in the house in a pot. I survived the Winter. I just gave it a haircut and put it in my garden Agrain, hoping for some success this year. I should have enough to make one batch of hot sauce!
Love, Love, Elderberry. The birds love them, too. Could you take us along for your birdhouse projects? That would be so much fun to learn. Thank you for inspiring us daily! ❤🤗
I also love Elderberries!!! As a teenager I used to have to harvest them for my Mom. Not an easy job for sure. I'd shake the branches into a brown paper bag. Nothing better than an Elderberry Pie or Vanilla Ice Cream with Elderberry Topping on it!!! YUMMY 💜!!! I'm ALWAYS hungry and my mouth watering after Becky's Videos 😅❤, especially the Strawberry Lemonade!!!!
I am so glad that you keep posting lot of videos even after you had your precious baby❤. But I am wondering how you do it - can your hubby watch the baby while you are on the garden etc.? or is the baby chilling next to you in a stroller? I was not able to do anything while my kids were babies... they were so clingy :))
Love your garden, it's beautiful already, can't wait to see it later in the season. We're in zone 7a and our peppers never do much growing until later in the summer, they seem to hate the hot summer days.
Oh my goodness you are so cute! I absolutely love how your little nose gets all dirty, when you’re playing in the dirt. My husband giggles and says you’re just like me. I try to stay clean and I’m quite prissy, but whatever craft, garden, or baking project I’m working on, it’s usually written all over my face (literally). ❤
Becky!!!! That was a lot of fun! Thanks for taking us along 😊
It's looking amazing! I have oregano and tyme and sage all the herbs growing for years don't plant mint I planted it 20 years ago I'm still pulling it up it is evasive and it will take over I do love it but wow! Everything looks so good
I finally planted out my greenstalk! First time growing in one thanks to you Becky. I'm a first time greenstalk user! Super excited to see what we can grow!
I CAN'T WAIT to purchase a Green Stalk!!! I haven't been able to afford one yet but hopefully this year. I've decided when the time comes I'm going to order the Green 💚 One!!! They are AWESOME!!!
@Beverly T. yes it was a process for me to purchase as well. I saved up and then my son helped.
Love your gardening videos, Becky! And your canning videos. Meal prep videos…lol. All of them! ❤ I hope your Tabasco peppers turn out this year. I went to the Tabasco canning facility on Avery Island, LA years ago and it was so interesting hearing the story of how the peppers are mashed and fermented in barrels for up to 5 yrs before the sauce is made. I hope you get satisfaction a little quicker than THAT! 😂 Best of luck with 2023’s garden. 👩🌾🌱🥔🍉🥦🥒🥕🌽🥬🍅🍐🫐🌶️🧄🫛🫑
You are a hard worker and very determined.
You need a big space for fig trees.they grow big.
Becky, you asked for planting suggestions well when we had our garden I had good luck with loofah gourds. It's better with a trellis. Lll LL 0 so many gourds I gave many away to friends and family. I seem to remember you were maybe not so lucky with them but I hope you still try. It's so satisfying to grow something practical that's not food. Okay, so thanks for the videos. Wish we could see baby.
You are going to be so glad you took the time to to the lay the landscape material to block all the darn weeds.
Last year i gave up weeding and kicked myself. This year we bought the rolls. Then covered with straw. Everything is already taking off.
You do so much! No wonder you leave stuff right and left! But now, that's quite a large land that you have! It's beautiful and you have a great plan for it. Your videos are my nice break. Bring me a smile. It's inspiring and relaxing :-) Thanks!
Such a very busy time of year but i love it when it's about gardening. I'm 61 and hoping i can keep up for many more years 😊😊😊😊
Love the bird house idea. Some wind chimes would look really pretty also. Loving the progress you’ve made. It’s going to look so pretty when everything gets big.
Becky i know you have been talking about the herb garden well watch your video where you were folding your trap up you have hubby get some cedar boards to frame the area and put compost and start your herb garden and it is right there and you would see every day and watch grow and get good food from mother earth
You need a three tray outdoor roller cart with large rubber tires (best for gravel) to put all your stuff on to take back and forth from the house and garden.
Hi Becky. I just purchased my first bottle of kombucha & I’ve got it chilling to try it. Your garden is looking sooo beautiful 👏🏽💖
❤
Hope you enjoy it. It's an acquired taste for sure though.
Becky, Peppers are sensitive to SOIL temperatures as well. I had to buy an analog thermometer (can be used in composted temperature as well if you get one with a long probe.)
I’d say they are even more sensitive than tomatoes
It happens to mee the same when the extreme heat comes, I have to put them behind the tomatoes to not be burned so I found easier to pot them so I can move them depending the temperatures from sprung to late summer and fall.
I saw there are heating cables for soil...I saw giant pumpkin farmers use them
@@gabygarcia8367 yes. I use soil heating cables up here in Alaska. They work great!
@@mattandbarbhartt2860 I'm going to try them! Thank you for your feedback! 🙌🙌
Becky! You talked about having a slug problem in your area. Here, we use beer! Just pour a can of beer into an old butter bowl and set it out in the garden. The slugs love it!
Becky I just love seeing your home and where you live. It’s like a breath of fresh air looking out over the property. I have a lovely home with a small yard that backs to woods. It’s so enjoyable to sit outside with a coffee and feel the breeze, listen to the birds and watch the squirrels and rabbits. I have yet to plant anything in my raised beds. I’m in No VA and it’s time, so I need to get busy. I did plant some new flowers which included two beautiful roses. So far so good with all those! Thank you for filming and taking time to share your home with us.
Wow, that cherry brandy rudbeccia is amazing, I can't wait to see it bloom for you. I
With it being so windy where you are, it occurred to me that having the landscape fabric with hold the moisture better, so the wind doesn't dry everything out. You should get one of those garden wagons, to bring your plants or empty pots and such around with you.
Yes, birds are so beautiful! Bird baths and bird houses, bat houses, butterfly houses are so fun in the garden. I think you may owe Josh a new hat if it wont clean up well. You may need a brimmed hat with a chin strap for your windy days. It was fun in the garden today. Have you gotten your little side by side yet? It can be helpful with transporting flats, fertilizer, and moving stuff back and forth.
Just a quick idea I saw this morning….take a colander and make it into a hanging planter with spoons for a wind chime hanging from the bottom….great for vining veggies or editable flowers…and keeps the critters from chowing down on them….
I used my existing fence posts and put hooks fencing towards the garden side…found lots of colanders at the second hand shop and now I have extra grow space for vining veggies and they can snuggle on the fence for support.
Good video. You need a wagon or wheel barrel to bring stuff down and carry your stuff up.
You could plant flowers or cascading greens in your stone wall between stones. Sedum? Etc.
Hi Becky! I wanted to thank you for all the amazing content! I grew up spending a lot of time at my grandparents which was 2 hours from our home. My grandparents would visit and then I would ride back to their home and we would stop along the roads and pick elderberries. My grandmother taught me how to can and make jellies and jams. I LOVE elderberry jelly! Since those early days I found a rural nursery that had elderberry plants so I planted them and the harvest was amazing. My husband "accidentally" mowed them down! He knew he was in a lot of trouble when I saw them! LOL I heard you say you were going to be planting some . When I purchase new plants I will plant them in a corner of my fence that I can net. The birds love them and my entire patio and patio furniture was covered in purple bird droppings! It was impossible to enjoy the patio area that whole season. Bye Friend! Terri, R.D.H.😊
I hear you sister. I'm in the same mess. So many seedlings that need to be planted out into the garden . It's getting hot and I don't like working out there in the heat. We plant in the coolest part of the day. I've been working on watering, weeding, and tying up the tomatoes that are in the ground right now. Your onions would benefit from some Ammonium sulfate. I got mine from Hoss tools and they are huge now. My spring crops are established and going like crazy. I had to order some more drip irrigation for the rest of the garden. Just hand watering for now until the irrigation system arrives. I remember one year we planted hot pepper with sweet and they cross pollinated. It was crazy. I want to see you succeed and have an wonderful crop. Good luck. It's fun to watch your progress.
We found out the hard way to not plant them close.
Awesome video Becky! Must feel amazing to finally see your garden come together on your new property!!! 🌷🌻
Ha, ha Poor Josh's hat! The herb garden is what I'm waiting for. Looking great so far!
Stock likes to be cut for cut flowers. They will continue to flower. You could put the perennials in the beds with no cover.
I’d love an update on ETA of the rest of your landscaping project being complete. Are they still coming Monday-Thursday?
Hi becky. You make me smile every day and I thank you
From the bottom off my heart❤ . Everyday should be a becky day.
Love the new garden, I hope you enjoy every day you spend in it.
Love from sunny Ireland.
Hi! Garden looks fabulous!Up here in Great lakes we put peppers out and some nights hit 40s and they grow quite large and produce alot of fruit. I think that sometimes things are specific for each growing area! King of the North Pepper we use up here bc it does super in cooler temps!
Since you have so much more sun at this homestead, make sure you wear sunscreen friend!! ❤❤❤ Gotta stay safe out there in that beauty! Everything is coming together so beautifully ❤️❤️
An idea of new fruit bushes 'haskap or also called honeyberry'. Taste is between a blueberry and raspberry. I planted 3 myself. 😉 love your gardens 🌿🌱 thank you, Becky.
Yes, haskap is a great choice! They are actually more nutritious and have more antioxidants than blueberries.
@Tracey S it's new to me, next month I'll get a chance to taste the berry from a farm nearby. Exciting! Thx 🙂
I have been here from your start. This is such a blessing to watch unfold. Thank you for including us.
Could we please get a new mom hood update.
I was so happy to hear you are all thriving and already into routine. How have you been doing since everything after having little man?
Just waiting here in middle of Sweden for the "iron nights" ( frost nights) as we call them to be over, need to wait until after first week of June. Alot of plants going out and in.
Greetings from the Florida panhandle, where we are in a cold snap of 88° (90-100% humidity) for this time of year. We don’t break a sweat in 70° with weather here.🤣
On a serious note, I love your show and your energy!. You have inspired so many people with all the information that you share on UA-cam. Thank you so much for everything that you do. Blessings.
I appreciate all you do and share. The good, the bad, and the ugly with us. I've learned so much from you. I going to use the ground cover in my raised beds next year. I believe it works. I used the cheap kind in mine next to the ground this year and it worked. But the heavier will be much better. Thank you
I love my duluth crusher hat. I've had it about 10 years and it still looks great. And yes, it has a strap. I majored in geology and got it for working in the field
Get some hummingbird feeders. They will work with the bees. And hummingbirds are so beautiful. You will see the hummingbirds flying around your flowers 🌺🌺🌺
You should get a wagon or a cart of some sort so it would be easier to take things down to your garden. I always say, work smarter not harder!
I was thinking that as well. We have a Gorilla Cart from Home Depot and I use that for everything.
Great day!! So productive, Becky! Enjoy the rest of the day.
WOW Becky you are just amazing! I love seeing all your progress, I did not know that about tomatoes and peppers either, that explains why the last 2 years my plants did just OK!
Hi Becky, you have a compilation a lot in the last couple of days. Your parents are so wonderful for helping out. I really miss my dad but your gardens looking beautiful Becky if you can answer a question for me, my flowers are falling off of my tomato plants. I googled it and it said it’s the change of weather is that true?
I'm impressed. I only saw one coffee cup in the garden. My mother in law has at least 6 in hers.
Becky, i had a sweet chuckle. I also garden in slides/flip flops. I call it dirty feet season.😂
