Our Fall Garden was DESTROYED by Pests

- Pests may have destroyed the garden, but we can't give up. Our goals for self-sufficiency mean we don't buy any vegetables from outside sources...so we need to pivot and make the most of what we have!

Soooo frustrating. I had a big slug problem this spring and it's heartbreaking to see your plants just destroyed overnight when you've put so much into them. Way to keep your chin up.
Bless your heart! Such a hardworking lady 🌺🌼🌸🙏
We had frost at 3am today oct 7th.... stuff was covered... thanks to mama.. I totally missed it putting new pvc window trim up this weekend ans fancy caulking. She saved me and never said a word.. wifey gets a cookie..
I've heard before that if you make water available for thirsty creatures during drought times you may have less pest issues. I had something taking big bites out of tomatoes during some dry weeks this summer, so I put a container of fresh water outside my garden fence and it seemed to help.
Oh no! Having a couple of dogs and cats has helped us a lot with pest control in the garden and compost areas. We have poodles, and when we trim their fur, we discard the fur around the perimeter. It has been a noticeable improvement.
You are an inspiration to us all! Every year that I watch your videos I increase my harvest of crops. Learning as I grow my increasing harvest and preserving thanks to you and your family!
Wowser I’m pretty sure I’m not a gardener, but I certainly love watching Becky and Cam, they are awesome their family is amazing,, but the amount of rudeness in some of these comments is ridiculous, they are amazing with awesome kids and I’m pretty sure they know what they are doing! I love them! Do I have a garden.. no will I keep watching.. yes! Yes I will!! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge Becky and Cam!! But get some rest little mama🙏🏻💜
Be strong, just a test. Be strong.
So sorry your having garden issues. Enjoy your videos as always.❤❤❤
Armadillos will follow a scrap board, such as a 2x4 or 2x6 leading to a live trap. You can funnel them toward the trap and this increases your odds of catching one ten or twenty fold.
I hope the Lord blesses all your hard work. Your family works so hard for what you eat. Good luck Becky and family.
I’m dealing with major pest pressures this fall as well. Also Arkansas, also planted carrots FOUR times, 72 foot row, going to end up with about 20 individual carrots if I’m lucky. Planted 24 foot row of beets 3 times as well…not any got bigger than sprouts. Between rabbits squeezing thru the fence, army worms, cutworms, and birds pulling up seedlings, this fall garden is a bust. Will try again in the spring. Thanks for the video Becky, helps to know others are dealing with this also, your outlook is admirable, especially as y’all rely on your garden so much!
Raccoons and porcupines ate my corn the night before harvest. I donot mind the mice or voles eating a few beets but when they are like Goldilocks and trying each one, anibble here a nibble there ,so no beets this year
Oh my, that's so exasperating! Deer did that to my watermelons back in 2019 (the only year I got any). A few bites out of every one! Don't their mamas teach them any manners?
Oh Becky, what a fight this fall has been so far! Go easy, I hope you still can have some crops without little visitors! Much love from Portugal ❤
So sorry! Armadillos are the worst! Hopefully you are now rid of them - until a new family begins next year. I have rabbits and deer really bad and I know what you are going through and it is SO VERY heartbreaking when it happens. You look wonderful and so healthy, guess the trip paid off for you.
There's always setbacks and trade offs and nature will always be a challenge. You guys do great and work hard, stay positive. :)
Hail creamed our garden back in August. Some things have recovered but it’s a small harvest this year.
😱😱you have the weirdes problems ever over there😳 that green cateerpillar thing looks like something out of a scary movie. And ARMADILLOS?? DANG!!! Never seen that before. Didn’t even know that was a thing in the USA…One stunned Norwegian over here😶😶😶 glad you caught them! 💪Sorry about your carrots. Be blessed!
What a terrible pest! We have voles here where I live, and it's so frustrating to pull up something and have it be half eaten. I hope you're able to get a little bit of a fall harvest.
I like the way you have stored your row cover. Could you please show how you do that?
Cam needs a motion camera and a pew pew at night. He can take care of that!
Can you go over in a video the ways you've researched things what you have found for products to use. And where you get your seeds and when you know when it's ready to plant from the greenhouse and how you plant them what do you stick inside the ground before you plant them how deep do you plant them things like that please please and a very big thank you
Maybe dig a moat around the greenhouse.
So happy for you! Hopefully your critter friends are gone forever 🙏🏻 Whar variety of watermelon did you grow?
I don't know if it would be something that you would be interested in doing in the future, but have you considered having a pond built on your property? Might help keep some animals out of your fields. Maybe even plant some throw away crops near it just to try and lead things away from the garden. Just an idea to think about.
That's a very good idea! Helps out the wildlife too.
Yes, a good idea! We have 3 ponds already on the property. But none are super close to the garden.
@TheSeasonalHomestead There's a lot of advantages to a pond. It'll help keep critters away. If you build it close to the garden but also near your animals like the pigs, then it can be an easy watering hole for them. Plus, theirs nothing that says family bonding like fishing in a pond/lake if you were to add fish to it as well. Even simple catch and release is a fun pass time.
Fun fact, tomato hornworms are black where I live. If they are exposed to extreme heat, they change to black. Because of videos like yours, I knew what they look like(when they are green). My husband found it and couldn't figure it out and I was like, is that a black tomato hornworm?? Turns out it was 😂
Armadillo is now a swear word😂
I enjoy your videos. It would be nice if you could indicate the outside temperature when you are working. Maybe include it below the date when you show a date on the video. Sorry about the armadillos. We don't have those here, but we have plenty of rats. Take care.
I will try and add that in the future garden videos!
If you need to buy carrots from the grocery store, that's fine. There's nothing wrong with it, and I wish more people were thankful that we live in a time when local problems don't cause starvation.
Can you swap with somebody for carrots?
Pests are the worst! I went to mow in my garden and a rat shot out of the push mower towards me. I about had a heart attack! I've been scared to go into the garden since. Have you ever had to deal with rats? If so, what did you do?
There are many different issues to consider, and failure to consider relevant issues can result in an awful situation, or situations.
Regarding myself I been busy learning about how to grow, and other topics as well. Building a garden without properly understanding how to grow is a mistake. Because you, and other people who are like you could end becoming reliant do to failing at learning how to grow.
I made mistakes as well to grow food when I started learning, and I eventually learned what I did wrong. I am planning to build a garden, so I been looking at the process of how this is done. If you are not interested to learn on your own then I think you might as well buy food from outside sources.
You might have some food that successfully grown. I think what should be concerning to you is what kind of pests you have, and if they are still there. Having pests can be a serious problem, for whatever is growing, and I am not sure about if, or how it would effect humans.
🇦🇺Keep cats in the high tunnel for the rodents.
What was the package you added to the pale when you said you were going to plant shelling peas song? And then you put a bag of seeds in a white bucket again and you added some more of that stuff
Inoculant for peas…it contains live culture of nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria
@@TheSeasonalHomestead thank you and congratulations on your baby👼🏻. If you've never grown summer savory not the Italian one you should try it is amazing in chicken soup. That's something we do up in northern Maine and in canada. It's delicious and it's beneficial when you're sick especially. And I can't tell you the smell is divine. Also have you thought about growing mint around your garden. Specially peppermint a lot of animals don't like that. Also solar lights that turn on with movement that can deter armadillos and other animals. I have this solar thing I used for voles and moles. To be honest with you I can't remember which one it was but I had a huge issue. And it made a noise and it vibrated. And the noise wasn't loud at all. But it got rid of them LOL that and this beautiful hawk. And I don't know if armadillos don't like blood meal but a lot of animals don't that's something to think about.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead can you use that inoculant for other seeds? And are there other types of inoculants? And which one do you use for each? And which book did you learn this from? And thank you
Check out yawt yawt for catching armadillos. He is a professional trapper.
I have a thesis.Too greedy and material results oriented, nature revenge against that. Sorry 4 telling
You're insane
You obviously don't regularly watch this channel if you even remotely think that's what is happening here. 🙄
