I love that you just do what you can and don’t beat yourself up if things go sideways! I grew large weeds and teeny vegetables last year. Trying to flip it around this year!
Lol I hear ya, you think science would study our weeds and see why they grow so good no matter what the condition of the soil and they don't get fed, yet they can survive a drought and too much rain...I think there is something we can learn from weeds.
I always say: Only if you do you can do it wrong. It sounds better in Portuguese, for English there's that Samuel Becket quote: “Ever Tried. Ever Failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” Pt translation: Só erra quem faz. I keep these on my back pocket for when (not if) I screw up. :)
Last year we grew volunteer nettles. This year, I'm thinking of harvesting them to make wine and maybe some tea if we like it.
@@patlynn2418 You’re in good company!
Yes, my 🍅 tomatoes did great but slugs would get em 🚫 matter what i did , if i didnt get em a lil early n i hate that, my pepper 🌶️ plants n all i had in containers didnt flourish so this year , 👏⭐👏 they all in or going in Ground but the 🦌 deer get em too😧😢❣️... I didn't plant enough for us both 😆😂❣️
My dad (in his 50s) just got into gardening. I get texts with pictures of his flowers and messages like "tomorrow's feature is azaleas in the morning sun" 😆 hes obsessed with azaleas. He has named them all Iggy. He's so goofy
Treasure him! He sounds wonderful 😊
Iggy 😂😂♥️
@@organicgreenpeace6360 ya, they're all named that. Iggy 1, Iggy 2, Iggy 3. He was like -obviously- that's their name 🤣
I love this so much.
The frilly plant is a parsnip. The yellow flowered vegetable smelling plants are mustard.
Exactly what I was about to post. Taste the mustard it will have a little bite to it
Thank you!
And there is the single Poppy.
Hi, Becky. In case you
didn’t know I copied this for you: Daffodil leaves should “not” be cut back until after they have at least turned yellow. They use their leaves as energy to create next year's flower. Daffodils continue to absorb nutrients for about six weeks after the blooms have died. During this time they need plenty of sunshine and a regular supply of water.
I learned about this with tulips, irises and other plants. 😊
Wow well this explains why my Iris’s are like four feet tall this year. I have them all over my property. I didn’t cut them back last year because of all the stuff we have all had to deal with for two years. I remember thinking that other people don’t cut theirs, so I let it go.
I just learned this last year. Great tip/advice.
Yes!! I was taught to just kind of knot them back neatly out of the way
As an experienced gardener, you will find that Epsom salts will serve you well. It keeps the slugs out and works very well as a fertilizer for tomatoes and peppers.
Ooh how good to know!
Also beer
Eggshells as well- she does have them readily available too.
@@charlotteclark2207 😀 🍻
How do you apply epson salts? Dilluted or broadcast?
The plant you thought was a brassica, I believe is broccoli Rabe.
Becky, if you have an iPhone. Take a picture of plant, go to photo and click the i button under the photo. They’ll be an option to plant id that picture. It’s fairly new to the IOS update. It’s been amazing in the garden!
Thank you for sharing! I had no idea this was a thing.
Thank you for this info!
I'm so happy I read this. I just tried it with some plant pics that I had and it works wonderfully. Thanks so much for posting this. I had no idea this feature had been put into the I phone setup.
Thanks for the tip
Awesome Ty!!
Honey, I love how you fully embrace gardening. If I everyone was this open at your stage of gardening……….WoW. Old lady sends you respect 👍👍👍
Becky was questioning if one frilly, lacy looking plant was Yarrow and it is.
Your old dog run looks an awful lot like a fenced in garden to me :)
If you chicken wired the bottom it could be bunny proof and the walls could be a Bean-O--Mania trellis...or maybe spring peas for next year.
What I was invisioning lol
This is a fantastic idea!! ❤️❤️❤️
Can you imagine the amount of beans she would get from all the chicken poop in there? Crazy!
Oooo yes a small salad patch sounds so great!
Second the chicken wire to make it bunny proof, they'll eat everything!
Last year was my first year gardening and I didn't get much of a harvest because I had the mentality that one bed can only have one type of plant in it. I am very limited on space and after watching you plant the root bags you have recently I decided to throw caution to the wind and try interplanting in all of my beds and pots. I am very excited to see what kind of harvest I get as I was able to plant a wide variety of things this year
Root bag (or grow bags) are amazing. I personally found tomato grow better in them, and my peppers did better in pots. Cucumber grow beautiful in them too and grow well vertically. I don't have a ton of space, so I'm always experimenting lol
You should learn about companion planting. There are a lot of plants that do well if not better being planted with a companion.
I've hust started my garden. My tomatoes are growing like gangbusters as are my bell peppers. I'm hoping my sweet Portales take off.
@@kristalburns3490 This is exactly what I was going to say. I have been companion planting for 7 years and it works wonders on promoting growth and keeping pests away!
I’m with all y’all smallholders. I’m trying to eke out as many things as possible in a small suburban yard. Using grow bags for the first time this year myself. Plus I ordered a Vego bed. Can’t wait until it arrives.
I would leave that old chicken run to raise your next set of baby chicks. Let them mature there then move them in with the adult hens when they are big enough. Just an idea!love yourgarden!
Omg ! How can you say your garden isn't pintrest grade ! You have a gorgeous Victory garden,so lush,and full of live,even bunny families ! Feed the bugs to the chickens ! In your weeds you have wild lettuce leaf weed which is a powerful pain killer..among other things..your garden survived a late snow and hail ! !..your flowers and veggies are gorgeous..
My mom always said to leave the daffodil leaves until they turn brown and die back because the sun is feeding the bulbs until that time of die back for the next season.
Braid them and let the leaves dry out
Pick up the bunny poop. You can put rabbit manure directly into garden without composted. You could also “steep” the manure in water then fertilize plants.
I used fish poo water (from our fish tank) to water my tomato plants when we had a hose pipe ban in the UK. Had great crops every time xx
Hi Becky. The garden "we" planted together is looking awesome. I am always amazed that you can recognize different things by just seeing their leaves/shoots--especially for gardening a relatively short time. Hugs and blessings.
Agreed. I forgot to label some so now I know which are the radishes and it’s time to thin, lol. Ah well, I’ll enjoy the surprise 😉.
According to my Picture This app, the plant shown at 21:15 is a wild radish. The one shown at 21:24 is a field mustard which is a member of the kale family. The flower at 29:03 is a poppy. Hope that helps! I can't wait until we harvest all that garlic! I planted garlic for the first time ever in my new garden last fall and I am just now starting to harvest it as it falls over. I'm loving all that I have harvested so far. Most of the bulbs are pretty small but I've gotten a few big ones so far and I think the biggest ones with the fattest stalks are the ones that still remain in the bed right now.
I'm so impressed with how much you've learned in a short amount of time! Tour garden looks awesome! 👏
I could be wrong but that flower at 29:00 looks like a poppy. I am growing 2 varieties and one looks just like that. Right before it blooms (if it is a poppy), it will stand straight up and drop the 2 outer covers of the flower. Though the leaves look a little different, the bud looks the same!
You should be so proud of yourself. It is so nice to see a young woman so excited about gardening.
Don't cut daffodil stems the bulb needs the nutrients from those leaves in order to produce flowers next year you can lay them down and cover them with mulch
Nothing looks bad or ugly! You’re doing a fantastic job!!
The beautiful bird looks from a distance line an American goldfinch. In winter, they turn brown and a lot of people think they migrate somewhere, but in the spring their feathers turn bright yellow again and that's when people think they have returned when in fact they never left.
For fertilizer, get rabbits or catch the freeloading ones. Bunny poo is a great cold fertilizer! It really takes the guesswork out of which nutrients to add.
They need phosphorus and potassium bc they fruit. Nitrogen promotes leaves. You will have more leaves than peppers and tomatoes if you give too much nitrogen bc the plant will use it's energy for leaves instead of fruiting. Bone meal and greensand works for phosphorus and potassium. If you get an all purpose, have more p and k and less n.
I find that spinach grows well in shades areas along with lettuce and green onions. Your gardens look awesome !
The 3 things u talked about “taking over ur garden”… calendula, camomile, & oregano, I always grow those in containers. Also any plant related to the mint family. Growing them in large containers makes it a lot easier to control them. Once they get into ur garden, they will increase every yr & choke out other plants.
You're a good woman to share with the bunnies. LOL. I love your channel. For only being a "gardener" for two years, you are doing GREAT! You have a Green Thumb!
It's not too late for corn. I'm in zone 5 - we don't plant anything until after Memorial Day, so this weekend will be a busy one. Most of what I plant will be from seed. We have a much shorter growing season than you do and I still get corn.
Perfect timing. I would l love to get back out in the garden and finish planting but we have had between 8-10 inches of rain this week. The only thing I am doing in the garden is sinking.
I recently discovered something cool on the iPhone. You take a picture of a plant or flower. When you go into your photos and look at the picture, there is an “i” with a circle around it at the bottom. You touch that button. Then underneath the picture it will say “look up plant.” You can identify plants with a picture that you take. I’ve been using it a lot.
I plant corn on or after father's day here in Kitsap county. My grans put out tomatoes and summer squash starts on or after mother's day and winter squash, peppers, melons, and corn goes out around fathers day in Seattle. They grew gardens at their house and had two plots at the first pea patch in Seattle. Unless you are cold framing, later is better around here. My family has been growing food here since 1920. Dog hair is your best slug repellant. They hate getting their foot mucus filled in with it. Goat and sheep hair works too but if you use a fleece you have to tease the fibers apart.
Note because of the cool wet spring, I'm only now putting out my mother's day plants. Watch when the cowslip blooms to determine soil temp. Mine just bloomed a few days ago. Those shaded back beds work well with cool temp greens like spinach and kale. Mulch heavily to hold water during the hot season. Not drying out will inhibit bolting. The old garden would be a great spot for perennial eatables. Think greens, walking onions. Check out parkrose permaculture as she is just over the river in PDX and has a 1/2 or less with a very large yield to that is staggered throughout the year.
Save the dead skeleton of plume.... plant clamatus around the bottom use as trellis
Hi Becky, just a tip that worked for me....I put an aluminum pie pan filled with beer in my garden...the slugs crawl in an drown....what a way to go! Lol
I love how you talk about your veggies and flowers like they are your babies. "This Ranunculus did not make it...I don´t think she is coming back" 💕 It shows how much you care 💚💚💚
Becky the garden is looking so lush and 😍. Excited to see the progress and the harvest as it starts coming in.
A landscaper friend of mine knows I sew lot and that I planned on container gardening as soon as I could collect some containers. So he's been saving the ends of his bolts/rolls of landscaper fabric. I've been making all sizes of grow bags and some I decorate with colorful fabric scraps. Now planting g 😊
What a great idea! I quilt and sew as well, I save narrow strips and salvages to use as garden twine to tie up my veggies and flowers. Susan, Becky’s Mom.
@@susanjones3177 I bet you have the prettiest plant ties :)
The garden is looking great Becky.
Love the tour. Thanks for showing the ugly. Parts of my garden is ugly like to see I am not the only one
Torch for weeds: I had a slow burn underground that took many hours to appear as a black patch in my yard. I would use caution and watch out even until the next day which is when I noticed mine. Had to dig and put water on it. Sometimes there are tree roots you know nothing about. Good luck. Your garden looks beautiful!
Becky you’re an inspiration. It’s so refreshing to watch your journey and now I’m researching crops in my area to start a garden.
I love the way you interspersed the flowers in your vertical garden! It gives I so much visual interest. Always enjoy your garden videos!
So beautiful and peaceful out there. You have me some great ideas for my little farm
The little yellow bird was a goldfinch…they love thistle!
Hey Becky! 👋 I love seeing your garden! You've inspired me to start growing some of our own food ❤️😍
Hey Wardah, thanks so much for joining me today!
Your flowers look amazing Becky...
Hello Becky!! I love your garden and I really like to watch whenever you vlogged with your garden. I love it. Keep the good work.
It looks beautiful Becky. Well done lady. Everything is green and growing. Summers right around the corner. Can't wait to see it in full swing soon. 🥰
Something I’ve been learning, this year, in my gardening journey, is watering in the morning is the best for the plants. I don’t know if that’s just for my area, or all over. Reasons I’m seeing: Watering in the morning helps the sun to dry the leaves all day since wet leaves leads to diseased leaves, watering in the afternoon can cause the sun to evaporate too fast and plants don’t get the water they need, and if you water at night, there’s no sun to dry the leaves making the diseases to come on faster.
Just some fun watering facts I thought you’d be interested in! I’m loving your garden! I’ve actually been learning so much from you! You are inspiring me to document my own gardening and scratch cooking journey!
Yes water in the morning. The soil will warm up and you won't put your plants to bed all cold and wet.
So exciting! Garden is looking amazing and prosperous. What a bless
The prickled about to bloom flower pod is a poppy plant.
I'm looking forward to the next few years on your channel. Your land has such potential, I'm excited for your journey. Thank you for inspiring mine.
Love seeing your garden updates Becky! So inspiring :)
I love Epic Gardening! such great advice, esp now that Chris is on board for cooler climate gardening!
Everything looks so good!!! So exciting to see things growing! My garden is smaller than normal so it was nice to live vicariously through you! Thank you for the tour 😀💕
I've also used the root bags which work great. Thanks to you, I've grown so much more this year.
Your garden looks amazing!Your hard work paid off. I'm always encouraged by you to do more and stay focused. Watching you makes me get out and get my hands dirty. Keep up the good work!
Amazing Job Becky you look like you've been doing this forever 💐🦋 Thank You so much for taking the time out of your busy day to share your Beautiful Garden with us 🌻💖
Be grateful for the rain, we hadn't rain in about 4or 5 weeks, and I live in the north of Germany.
Your garden is looking beautiful! I have limited space, but you are teaching us that limited space is still space - thank you!
This is all so exciting. I have a gardening background but didn’t not know potatoes were determinate and indeterminate. I learn so much from you and your energy inspires me!
Painted many a Iris love painting them and roses
Garden videos are my thing. Love them plus the canning ones
There are some areas of our yard that my husband burns with a propane torch when the weeds die back in the summer. works great.
My significant other decided hes on board with the homestead idea and you are a staple for us to guide our planning and see what we'd like to try out or maybe avoid from your experiences! I love love love your content thank you so much for being here!!
What a great tour! I am a vicarious gardener, and that's about all I can handle at this point, but I love watching you enjoy your garden!
Hey Becky, I'm looking to buy my first house in the next year or so. So I'm just over here living vicariously through you. I'm super excited to finally have space to plant my own garden, my current dinky apartment has no room for anything. So I'm soaking up all the advice and inspiration I can! Love your videos, and your channel is very delightful.
You could use a 'Crushed Egg' barrier to naturally stop the SLUGS.
Becky, your garden looks amazing! My husband and I just finish planting our garden today. Just want to say thank you because you inspired me to grow more vegetables and flowers this year.
You are doing a great job for a second time gardener. I've been gardening since I was a child. It doesn't matter how many years you garden there is always something new to learn.
I love this. Your garden is growing like crazy. Green all over the place. In your area you get some warm sunny weather and wow things are exploding with life. Thank you so much for showing the progress. I think if you could be in your garden and never leave you would be in your happy place. The flowers are gorgeous. Becky’s little acre of heaven. ❤🇺🇸🍓🫐🥦🥒🧄🧅🥔
I think your garden is absolutely perfect, thank you for these videos ❤
Ur so lucky to have all that garden area ,I loved gardening, but due to illnesses I had to down size I miss it so much ,,I do have fruit trees ,and some berry's, but even my small garden is hard work, so I can understand u getting behind with all u have ,hope u can get done what u plan on ,pleas take us with u ,while doing the work if u can ,I really loved it ,enjoy ur day
Your garden is perfect because it is supplying u & your family with nourishment. And the bunnies 🐰
Don't take down the dog pen...put green house plastic to plant all your seedlings into... weed mat or wood hip on floor some mobile shelving...all a great gardener needs. Love your garden.
I love how positive you are about your garden! Your garden is beautiful, I am a first time gardener. We have tomatoes planted and everything is growing. ❤ We have chickens as well and we're just starting to get the chicken run up and coop finished.
I watched a video from a great duck farm in Wales - they got ducks because they're "slug-slayers" (I love the term) because they had a huge issue with slugs in their blueberry patch, and now they're duck farmers. Anyway, they said you can leave ducks to roam the garden cos they have flat feet and don't scratch at the ground like chickens do. :) Your garden is doing beautifully, it's wonderful to watch. Thanks for your video!
The wild bit is lovely, you find so much volunteer plants. Surprise time
Your beautiful bird looks like a Yellow Tanager. Your garden beds are looking good. Thank you for sharing your journey with good, bad, and ugly. You inspire so many people!
Becky, you have so many eggs from your girls. Save the shells, crush them, put them around the garden where you have slugs. That should take care of it. You are so busy in a good way, love and prayers, God bless.
Re: propane torches
You still need to weed whack! Torching only works in smaller spaces when the weed is close to the ground. My husband (who loves fire!) says he would rather pull the weeds by hand. It’s only efficient on the driveway or in patio stone spaces. We were so excited to use but we’re really let down! Can’t stress enough to learn from our mistakes and only torch close to the ground!
I’d second this. I torch all the weeds in my gravel driveway but hand pull or use organic spray in other areas.
I agree
This is so great!! I missed the name of the garden containers that had several pots and stood tall- you had strawberries in one & flowers & salad plants in the other- those are super amazing!!
The garden looks so beautiful 😍. Can't wait to the harvest
Me too!! Thank you!
My potatoes are LOVING the bags! After a few rain storms my garden has grown so much. Super exciting! :)
Your videos are the best part of my day. Love them! So comforting.
Get rid of slugs by putting crushed eggshells, mulch or coffee grounds around your plants. Works like a charm!
You are an old soul! I love your channel! I can and just started a garden this year. I have done one in the past but was too busy in the summer. Kids are getting older and I have more time to do it.
We have a river rock area. We get a ton of weeds. We spray and then when its dead we use the propane torch. Works great.
I wanted to warn you that I just took my greenstalk apart to change from the wheel base to the spinning base. And there were slugs under every water tray of the greenstalk. I cleaned off every one I found and put a little bit of slugo in each tray. I have never had a problem with slugs before.
I have tons of gnats in the soil of my GreenStalk. I think I was overwatering before planting my stuff. I didn’t want the soil to dry out since out here in the desert if the soil dries out you can never get it to absorb water again. Frankly I’m uncomfortable planting my stuff in it. It’s my soil obviously not the GreenStalk.
😯 Horrors! Yuck 🤢. Lucky you spotted them! Haven’t heard others who have discount codes mentioning where slugs can hide. Perhaps a slug nematode at the beginning of each season could be added to the water after amending the soil/compost.
Hey Becky! I’ve been SO excited for my and “our” gardens. I wish I had everything you had! Between the apples the pears the huge beds and so much more. This year I have planted zucchini, longneck squash, cucumbers, a few varieties of habanero peppers, snap peas, green beans, broccoli, basil, edamame, red orange purple? And yellow bell peppers, and finally, lots of tomatoes
Your garden is looking wonderful! I really enjoyed this video and I hope you do more like this as the growing season continues 😊
Love your channel. You inspired me to do raised beds. We had some composite decking that was giving to us and that's what our beds are made of total free.
Thank you for helping me in my garden
The weeeeeeeediiiiiiing uhg lol It never ends. Your garden is looking so fabulous!!! I've been so inspired by you and my garden is the best it's ever been so far this season.
Thanks for not editing the fear of bugs I like gardening but I’m afraid of worms and bug and snakes, but I see you still planting and gardening and I’m motivated to get out and try! Thanks for the encouragement…😃
I planted potatoes in laundry baskets line with plastic trash bags. They are doing so well so far!
Love your love of the garden! With bulb plants like your daffodils you can deadhead the blooms when they're finished but you should also wait until the leaves turn brown before you cut them. That allows the energy to go back to the bulbs first.
I have started watching your channel with my wife. She has had me hooked on your channel lately. Figure a subscribe was well worth it. We love the garden tours, cooking/canning tips, and the realness of it all! Appreciate your content!
Your garden is gorgeous! You are doing a wonderful job!I am glad I have been with you along the way! Thank you!!
🌼🐝 👨🌾🌻🐇🌺I’m Back for another update of your beautiful garden. It’s amazing to see the changes in your plants over time. I love watching my garden grow a little each day, that is my favorite part of gardening. I am making garden videos too on my own channel. It’s so fun to have the growth documented over the season. I still have so much to learn in this area. I hope we can learn more from each other!
