Corn: When you have silks on your corn, shake your tassels so the pollen falls down onto the silks to pollinate and helps produce your corn.
Hello, i live in an apartment and was not allowed to have anything on my balcony because they were doing painting so i planted my corn in my apartment i know quite funny! I did not know about the tassels until i looked it up and i actually took the tassels and rubbed them on the silks to pollinate! I did not know any of this so thank you so much for your helpful advice!! I do have two stalks that grew and have corn on them!
I dried the corn silk for tea.
Anyone else having basket envy? Those are some cool baskets!
Becky, you crack me up harvesting in your house shoes😜
My neighbor, with many years of gardening, did this to my corn last year, and it really helped. I was surprised.
This weekend, we had power outages, including water. It was going to be my first attempt in a long time to do some canning. Thx to my husband for buying us water, I did 2 days of canning peaches and tomatoes, despite no electricity or running water. I'm pretty proud of all I accomplished. Thank you, Becky, for your inspirations.
That's an amazing accomplishment!!
I also, was without water, power, cell service from Thursday evening until Saturday late day. And I am still under a boil water advisory. I am about an hour outside of Detroit in Brighton, MI. Despite these factors, today I defrosted my freezer and had enough chicken carcasses to make approximately 20 quarts of chicken stock. I used my camp stove and figured that the water I used, boiled for long enough to be safe. I will be pressure canning it all tomorrow. Thank goodness for propane and a camp stove.
@@denisespotts1858 We are in Williamston.
Sounds like South Africa 🇿🇦
wow thats a canning goddess right there!
I think it’s adorable to see sleeping bumblebees in the garden ❤
Becky, for a person who didn't think she'd get much of a harvest, you knocked it out of the park! I am amazed especially in the harvest of your tomatoes. They are beautiful. Everything looks wonderful. I love your garden tours and love love love to see what you do with your harvest in the kitchen. You are very talented. Of all the youtube videos I subscribe to yours is my absolute favorite and I never miss one. Thanks for all your hard work in sharing your knowledge.
Aw thansk!
I don’t know if I’ve just missed it, but I don’t recall that view of your completed backyard before you get to the fence. It’s gorgeous! You guys have just knocked it out on that property. Well done! 😊
I have never seen that view of the backyard either.
4:36 I LOVE the sound of the peppers being ‘popped’ off the plants when you’re picking. ☺️
the saving of seeds makes it truly full circle, I think. I have enjoyed teaching my kids from first seeds to harvest and then having all the seeds for next year :) Mother nature is SO amazing.
I love the pumpkins!!! And the bumblebee sleeping on the flower is just adorable ❤
I think about your neighbors at the bottom of the hill watching this amazing-ness unravel and sure hope they're appreciating the show!
I'm sitting in the foyer area of a large hospital in my state of South Australia while my partner recovers upstairs in ICU from his second cardiac related surgery in 12 and I want to say a very big thank you for 1) taking my mind off the stress and 2) giving me so many wonderful ideas for the garden I am planning to establish when I eventually get home with my partner
All the best for your partner’s recovery Karen and for your garden-to-be. Becky does indeed have some great ideas.
For the cardiac arrest, try cayenne pepper tea and putting a pinch under the tongue when going to bed,fresh garlic, onion and ginger pure grinded twice a day is helpful. Lemon water, little exercises, sleeping early, having enough rest, plant based diet, trusting only in God,self control. They sound so cheap and simple, but believe me you'll really thank God at last.
You're going to have to bring a wheel barrow or the side-by-side to do your harvests if the abundance continues. What a great blessing. Can't wait to see what you do with everything!
That's exactly what I'm thinking!
A good wagon is definitely in order... I know you are young and strong, but there is no reason to put that kind of strain on your back when it's not necessary... Your Beautiful garden is going to hurt you, if you don't take care of yourself... :)
Yes, I was thinking the same thing.... where is your wheelbarrow? 🥰🥰🥰
They have an atv
I was thinking the same thing near the end of the video lol
I absolutely love that ❤
If your friends and families are done with zucchini LOL or tomatoes, you may want to look for a local food bank because they do accept fresh garden produce and families could really use the help.... What a great blessing!
I just love you Becky!!! I am 20 years old in nursing school and I watch your videos to relax. This is my absolute goal- to have a garden and harvest like you do. Thank you for all you do!!! You are truly a superwoman!!!🩷🩷
When you start working, encourage your patients into this too. It's really healthy
This 3 basket thing isn’t working this time of year, lol! You need a basket at the end of each bed then drive your little cart around collecting them all. 🧺
Becky, you have truly blossomed in gardening!!! You are wonderful and fun to watch. You have so much energy too. Congratulations on your pumpkins, peppers, tomatoes and all your harvest. Your flowers are beautiful.
Corn produces separate male and female flowers, with the male flowers, called tassels, sitting right at the top of the plant. Up here they can catch the wind, enabling the pollen to be carried off in the breeze. The female flowers are located further down the plant and are what will eventually form your ears of corn.
Hi Becky, Hi Friends! I am so living vicariously through you!
You took the words out of my mouth.
Me to!
...too fast, I still can recall people are making the beds. You planted...and now you are harvesting. You must be so proud of your garden. I love the sound of picking the vegetables. I love your channel so much, Becky! Keep it up!!
Way too fast
I come from Minnesota, aka one of the big corn growing states. The life cycle of corn is, it grows, it tassles(aka flowers), gets pollinated via wind and insects, then it grows the ears of corn seeds after it has been pollinated. So don’t despair!! You will get corn off your plants yet!
Hi Becky. I grew 1 tabasco pepper plant in a 7 gallon grow bag this year. It was probably 5 ft tall and gave me about 1.5 lbs of peppers. Your garden looks great❤
Wow! Did you do anything extra to it to get such a huge plant?
I am going to have to try that! Thanks for the suggestion!
You must be so proud of your garden this year, it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love your finding new recipes for preserving your fruits and veggies. Your pumpkins are so beautiful too! ❤
I love the sound of picking fruits and vegetables from the garden. Love your channel Becky!
Asmr
Lol not the fuzzy pink slippers Becky! 😂 when you were picking the tomatoes I seen them and busted out laughing. ❤ happy for the harvest. All our veggies died here in Texas 😢 there is always next year hopefully
Hi Becky... very happy your garden is doing so fantastic after the worries early on in your season. I love that you found nasturtiums sprouting in your green stalk. Next June I am sure you'll have a lot sprouting in your much next to your patio. I've found them sprouting all over the lawn around my garden. Enjoy your day!
Omg, seeing your sleeping bees made my day! I've been sick and today was rough. Touring your garden was wonderful. Thank you💕
Do you ever do garden bed maintenance videos? Where you actually show yourself going from bed to bed trimming plants, removing plants, general cleanup, and then removing the clippings rather than leaving them in the beds? I find those so satisfying to watch. etc
You really made a home 🏠 for the bumblebees 😌🐝🐝🐝🐝🌸🌼🌻🌺💐🌾🪴so cute when they were just hanging around in your flowers 🌸🐝😊😅
Love the sleeping bumble bee's. What a harvest. ❤❤
I'm sorry... but bumblebees napping!😂😂 That is sooo precious 😍 Becky you should be so proud of yourself. That is an amazing garden. I love this chapter of life for you ❤
One thing I've learned this video? Bumblebees love napping on flowers 🌺🐝😴
Hi Becky, I'm watching from NZ where we will go into spring next week. Watching your videos gives me inspiration for what to grow and how to handle the abundance that comes.
You are extremely lucky to have a beautiful home and garden that you can grow so many fruits and veg but it is all down to your hard work which I appreciate you sharing with us.
I love to see you gardening in your pink fuzzy slippers! Your garden is beautiful and so productive you should be proud of all your successes and learn from the other experiences.
Hey Friend! I don’t normally leave comments but want to let you know that I look forward to your videos as part of my wind down routine! Your videos are PEACEFUL, INSPIRING, HAPPY, and I LEARN, fantastic job young lady ❤❤
Wishing you a beautiful new week, Becky & everyone! My seeds for my garden have all germinated & I'm so excited about my garden to be! 🫑🌶🥒🥕
Thank you,you too!love from Kenya Africa.
Hi Becky and everyone! Lovely garden again this year 😊 love all the bees napping in the flowers ❤😂
Just a suggestion for next year. Try doing an arch trellis with hog panels for some of the climbing plants, in between the walk ways connecting the beds. Plant Plants such as cukes, pole beans, smaller melons, butternut squashes and pumpkins. It would also look amazing with Nasturtiums. Looks like you might need a wagon too 😂. You have an amazing garden and there are endless possibilities!!! ❤
I use this trellising method. It’s great!!
You should see if you can find some bird baths to put near the vegetable patches. Pop some large pebbles in them, so the bees have something balance on and don't down. It'll give them water to drink.
I do it at my place, it's amazing how many stop by.
Oh my goodness! Your planning and planting have really started to pay off! How exciting.
You need to feed the melons they’re heavy feeders. You need to feed them
From a farmer. Plant your corn further apart.. they are way to close and the roots were fighting eachother so all of its energy was in the roots and not in producing cobs/seeds. I plant about 12 inches apart. Also they need consistent watering especially in a raised bed. I planted about 100 seeds directly from packet to ground and got about a 90% germination. Got 12 points of corn canned from it plus weeks of fresh corn on the cob for dinner and gave a away a lot as well!
Southern yellow squash: cut tender yellow squash in small pieces. Cut new potatoes same size as squash. Dice a medium medium to large onion. Amounts vary according to how many servings you need. Dust onion, squash and potatoes with flour. Fry in an iron skillet using vegetable oil to which a couple tablespoons if bacon grease is added. Fry till crisp and done. If you have a ripe (red) bell pepper, dice it and add to mix. Delicious.
By the way I loved your harvest videos in my country I wake till 1 in night just to see your harvest
Wtg you've done such a wonderful job of your garden and all your hard work has paid off. There isn't a better feeling than picking your veggies, cooking it and eating good that you've grown yourself. Well done you.
Hi Becky, Wow what a haul out of the garden. You should get one of the foldable wagons with the big wheels to bring in your harvest. Next year the baby could ride in it out to the garden with you.
The bumblebee’s sleeping was just the sweetest thing. And I love all your pumpkins.
I literally just turned on my TV to see if you have a new upload and you have! Now I’m happy! ❤
What an awesome harvest!!! ❤❤❤❤ Your hard work is paying off big time!!!
Hello. I just started following you and I love your garden. Just wanted to say that the orange flowers on the pumpkins are used in my culture to eat with quesadillas. Just tortilla, cheese and the flower. All you have to do is make sure it’s thoroughly washed. Hope you can see this comment. You are an inspiration to me as a woman and a mom. ❤❤
Your garden is making me smile!
Hey Becky love all you video they inspire me a lot thank you for posted on your busy life and schedules
So excited for you. Your garden is doing great. How fun!
"One for the master, One for the dame, One for the little boy who lives down the lane!" Hugs from Esquimalt!
Hi Becky, you might think of getting one of those wagons that Costco sells. It’ll save you a lot of steps. Your harvest blows me away. My piddly garden that I had in containers was a bust. I wasted so much water and yielding maybe 6 cucumbers. Same with my Tiny Tim tomato plant, and green beans. I live in a very hot Northern Ca area just down from Sacramento. I’ve ripped it all out. I’m a senior living alone now since my husband passed 16 months ago. I enjoy your videos. You’ve come a long way and you’ve done so much. Enjoying the fruits of your labor by sharing and preserving is what it’s all about. It’s a gift we give to ourselves if we are fortunate enough to have a flourishing garden. Looking forward to all future videos. 🤓
Becky if you ever want to make "bunuelos" a thin crispy Mexican Christmas treat, save the husks from the tomatillos. Bunuelos are avery thin tortillas fried then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. The tomatillo husks are put in water to boil, this is the water you will use when making the masa "dough" it will make the dough extra stretchy a good thing since you want to pull the dough thinner than you can roll it. I learned this secret from my late mother in law, when I lived in Mexico.These are delicious and have the taste of Christmas. I do hope you try making them. Until next time much love. 💖💖💖
I’m a newbie to your channel and I’m loving your content. I don’t know what it is about harvesting tomatoes and zucchini’s that just brings back those beautiful memories with my grandparents 😊 Such a blessing to be able to share what you’ve been able to harvest!
Aw welcome! Thanks for being here!
Love seeing the napping bumblebees! So cute!
amazing blessings
Hi, it is totally amazing how for the cost of some seeds you harvested SO much produce! Completely mind blowing! Way to go for some one who thought they were not going to get much! I can hardly wait to see what you do to harvest the sunflowers! Thanks for another exciting amazing day!
And probably 30-50k for the garden itself.
Wow Becky, your family will never go hungry whilst you have time to garden and preserve 🥰
I have made tomato jam for the first time this year, and am looking forward to trying it. I am English, but live in Bulgaria and the internet is my way of learning new things and developing my skills. I really enjoy my garden and all it produces for my husband and I. We are retired and are busier now than we ever were - and love it.
Thank you for your videos, I love spending time with you in your garden and kitchen, and am learning new things all the time xx
The sleeping bumblebees were adorable. Thank you for sharing!
Such blessings 🙏
Becky my goodness your garden has taken off and is growing so beautifully!! I love these long garden harvest videos, brings me relaxation and joy! And those bumblebees taken a nap inside or on the flowers is the cutest thing!! 🥰🐝🌸🌱🍅🥬🌶️🫛
All your hard work is paying off! Great job Becky!!
I love the “snap” sound of picking peppers from the garden!
Oh my goodness! I thoroughly enjoyed going out to your garden with you and seeing you harvest everything. Thank you for the inspirational video 😊
It’s so fun to see you get excited on growth from your plants. You’re an awesome gardener! Love watching you ❤
I can't believe how FAST your garden has grown, I've never been a gardener myself, it's amazing how quickly (and beautifully!) it's gotten to this point. I would love to have a garden like this one day 😍
Your garden is a whole vibe! My DREAM garden for sure!!!! Still holding on to see how your corn does!!!!
I get the sense you have impressed yourself! You enjoy the pride, you deserve it. Wonderful job.
What a wonderful, well deserved harvest Becky. A great reward for all your hard work, perseverance and research. Congratulations!
Wow great job Becky. Been waiting you for years now. So nice to see your dreams and goals come true 😊
Your garden is absolutely beautiful
.
What a blessing you are to your family ❤
Always love your garden tours. Your excitement is contagious
Such great harvests , I'm proud of you 😊 ❤ beautiful garden beds !
Wow Becky that is one amazing harvest for the first garden at the new house.
One word….amazing! What a harvest a true inspiration.
Yeah!!! A new video from Becky!!!
For someone who lives in a tropical climate that gets good amount of rain and sun year-round, I am perpetually curious about how everyone on the other side of my climate do when 4 seasons come. So when I stumbled into your channel Becky, it was like a dream come true to be able to witness spring, summer, fall and winter and see how you and your family transition between those seasons, especially in your gardening journey.😍❤
To be able to witness as you start planting until harvest, preservation and then consuming all those produce that you grew from seeds, sometimes I wish I live with your bumblebees so I could enjoy the beauty of the gardens everytime everything blooms and produces.😅😍
When I was a kid, my ultimate dream was to have a small piece of land, with a meandering creek across, and lots of fruits and vegetables that I planted and will continually harvest to feed my family.😍
Because of you, Becky, that long-forgoteen dream of mine was awakened and I realized I wanted it now, more than ever. Nope, not even a want, but a need.😅❤
So please continue uploading, don't get tired sharing to us a glimpse of your wonderful life, because you inspire so many people with your talent, patience and kindness.😍
P. S. Can I live under your garage and be your helper in the garden?😂 I love to potter around the garden, and wouldn't mind at all if I am left alone to tend to everything the garden needs.😍😁😅
Hi I really enjoyed reading your comment 😊
Maybe that sounds like a stupid question to you but it comes from someone with 4 seasons sooo, can you really just plant anything anytime and harvest all year round? Do you even have to preserve anything when can just grow it?🙈
@@___palomino___4677 Hello.☺️ We literally can do harvest all year round, especially with how there is perpetual sun and rain.😅 That's why I am so curious about how other people, from across the globe, do it with just a small amount of spring and summer months of sun. But of course, you have to take into consideration cold crops like the cabbages and carrots that loves the cold, we have high mountains that is colder and gets fog, but never snow, who supplies fresh veggies all year.😁 Tropical fruits are abundant too. Of course there are specific fruits that only blooms and fruits in its own month/season, but there are perpetual fresh produce everyday of every year.☺️ Sometimes I think we are being too spoiled by fresh produce, it's amazing to me to see how Becky turns her produce into canned food and save a lot of money because of it.❤️ I am actually on youtube to see how other people eat and consume food that has four seasons, so very unlike us here in a tropical climate.☺️
But on that note, I have not seen or know of any one that does homesteading like Becky does, here in my country. We do have people that has acres and acres of land, but it's usually for farming families that produces rice, sugarcanes and the like, but not like real homesteading. And I dream of someday doing just that, real homesteading, if finances and opportunity comes, that is.😁😅❤️
Sorry, my explanation got away with me but I hope I answered your question.😅
I love your lawn. It’s sooo lush & green. Oh my. What a harvest👏🏽💖
Finally caught up on videos again. Thank you Becky for sharing your life with us! I have my little porch garden at my apartment because of you being so inspiring and I actually have enough of my own tomatoes to do a small round of canning. I am excited!
What a wonderful abundance! So many wonderful things to be distracted by. By Aug here in Texas the harvest is very little especially with the heat and drought so I have REALLY enjoyed watching you harvest today 💚💚💚
I love love love watching your channel. I feel like we are totally friends 😊
We have two Gorilla brand wagons that I use ALL THE TIME. They are excellent for harvesting in the garden. If you were to get one, I’d highly suggest the one with mesh wire instead of the plastic dump one. The metal wire one turns into a flatbed which also comes in handy…-and it doesn’t fill with water when it rains!
It looks great Becky congratulations!
What fun it eas watching you harvest your garrden!! I miss those days.
Hey Becky, the tassels on top of your corn is what pollinates to form the corn. So you wouldn’t see any corn forming until after it tassels. It pretty interesting to read about how corn grows.
I recommend saving some Jade bean seeds. My family is a long term homesteader in Arkansas, the last 2 years its been pretty difficult to get the jade green bean seeds without paying for over priced ones. They are one of our family favorites as well. I'm not sure if its just our area that's having trouble or what. Its just if you have them save some, I know you are excited over seed starting and I'm all here for it. Plus using your own seed adapt that much quicker to your climate. I've always wanted to make my own heirlooms.
Wow! What a blessing. I love to hear the sound of you pulling the green beans, zucchini and tomatoes! Reminds me of my Dads garden! I could almost smell those green beans.
I love the sound of picking the vegetables. You must be so proud of your garden. You have an amazing garden and there are endless possibilities
It is exciting to see your garden grow. Watching yall build it from the beginning makes it something amazing to see. You are so blessed. New baby, house, garden, and lots of blessings. Congrats for this year of first❤s
Your garden is fantastic. You seem to do it all with ease xx
And a lot of hard work and research!
Awesome abundance!! Good for you Becky!!
This garden is a blessing indeed. The plummy tomatoes ...the pumpkins.............
The Sound of Harvest as you Snap the Veghie off the Plant is the absolute Best!!! Wgat an abundance you have Becky. The Garden Beds, Patio, the whole Design is absolutely Beautiful. Stunning. Such an Incredible Lovely Space you have Created. Exceeding Abundant Blessings.
Becky! Love your videos! Just want you to know that you can shell the pinto beans and eat them fresh cooked as well - yes they taste different from the dried but they are delicious! I live in East Texas and we love them fresh when when we can get them in the summer and you can also freeze them fresh and cook later!!! Try it!
I am so impressed by what you do and how organised you are! Girl you are like a superstar! I hope to learn more and more from you!❤😊
Thank you so much for the joy of watching your garden grow from seed to produce.
Soon you will be able to share your love of gardening with your son. My 8 year old loves gardening. I just got him his own raised bed for his birthday. He’s so happy and can’t wait to start seeds in February.
