Becky put a small mailbox in the middle of your garden and use is to store some of your small, hand-held garden tools and a couple of pairs of gloves. That way you don't have to go all the way back up the hill to the big shed for those small items. If you get a white mailbox you can decorate the outside of the mailbox so it will also be a pretty decorative item in the garden.
Brilliant 😊
Great idea
Excellent idea! One of my favorite “kids” movies is Up so I’d decorate the mailbox like how they did in that movie. It’d be especially sweet to put Baby Acres handprint on there :)
I did this! Love it
that's a great idea
Hi Becky, have you thought of maybe putting a small water proof box down there by the garden beds to keep some garden scissors, garden knife and maybe a small garden shovel in it so when you need them, that they are already down there.
Garden answers has some very good videos On drip irrigation. She has several different methods and several videos. She goes step-by-step on how to do it. It's very clear and very concise. She shows you the equipment she uses and step by step how to do it. She shows pots and raised beds.
YES!!! Laura and Aaron use drip tubing and drip tape in various ways. I think Becky would benefit from drip tape more than the long runs of brown drip tube
I thought the EXACT same thing. Her last few videos have been about drip irrigation, at this point I feel like I know how to do it😂
@@theheardhomestead
Here's an idea. Set up a large mailbox on a post in your garden and keep your hand tools in there. Handy!
Saw this after I wrote my comment, this really works well.
Hi Becky,
I found a product made near where I live in Ireland its called Super Soil. Honestly here where we've moved to the soil is awful but I've been using super soil on the beds and frankly I've never seen plants grow so fast. They also do free delivery worldwide. It's basically freeze dried microbes and a 1 kilo bag is enough to do 10 acres of land. I have used it double strength on my beds and it is working miracles right now.
I'm also using wine cap mushroom mycelium which not only gives us a "free" harvest but also helps alot with soil health. Have fun gardening :)
That's so nice...
I’m going to have to try get some of that for my garden here in uk the soil is not great in my garden
@@suemount6042 it really is worth it hun xox
I love your channel. Look forward to each new video.
I put a farm size mailbox on a post in my garen for garden tools...including scissors, a knife, a weeder, trowel etc. Very handy.
This is a great idea!
Tip for you regarding beets: Grow them since they grow fast and you can use the greens as well as the beet itself, then freeze dry the beet and powder it to add to smoothies and such for the added nutrition boost.
A great way to nitrogen-fix your soil is to plant beans and other "nitrogen-fixers", so that second bed will have a much better nitrogen level for you next year (or in the fall if you plant again there)
I'm not a very beet person either but I found roasted beets were something I could do mixed with other roasted veggies plus the dogs like them...I will say I was not prepared for the maroon poo and had a bit of a heart attack out walking the dog. Then I laughed like a Minnesota loon when I realized what I had caused by feeding my lab roasted beets. Yikes. In small amounts in salads beets are good and good for us. I was a beet hater and now I see their place...roasted.
How do you get beets to grow fast? Mine take forever.
@@lilycardoso4679 Beets, on average, grow much faster than other crops, about 45-60 days, as opposed to things like peppers, tomatoes, corn, etc which are usually over 90 days minimum. So I guess it depends on your definition of fast. You can start harvesting the greens for sure by 30 days.
Hi Becky,
Look into worm composte.
I use worm composte from my worm bins and it’s like magic. My veggies grow like crazy. Best thing ever. Worm bins are cheap, easy to maintain and absolutely worth it when it comes to gardening.
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
I have a worm bin, do you have to wait a while before using worm compost?
Another Aussie, Same here, I only have a small veggie and plant garden but the worm tea is a miracle fertiliser.
i hate and love this comment
Hi Martha,
It takes my bin about a year to get full, but you can use the worm casts/composte much sooner (as soon as the worms have eaten the food).greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
They have pop-up bags you can buy for the garden to put your scraps, weeds, and whatever else in. It's easy to carry around and saves you on having to pick up piles. I bought a pop-up hamper at a yard sale and I'm using that which is just like the one you can buy for the garden.
I feel that's a great idea. Ether that or carry around a small handled bucket wherein you can put the weeds and undesirables from your garden and not have them remain in the bed.
I have those soft planter bags with handles to do that😂
Love my pop up bag!

Hi Becky, being you brought up your daily routine with makeup... Id love to one time see your hair down before you start working on a project! I understand wanting your hair out of your way for working but id love to see those gorgeous strands of hair down for once! 😉💗
She did show us how she pulls her hair up once and her long hair is gorgeous !
@@susanjohnston8973 I must have not seen that!!! I only started following her recently 💗😊
I agree I think she needs to have her hair down either in a ponytail or hanging down her back just pulled back with a scrunchy or something, she appears to have beautiful hair and we would like to see it.
Becky does have gorgeous hair. I respect that she may not want to share that information.
She did an early video with it down. Look back in the early days
Oh Becky. You don’t need make up dear. You’re just beautiful 😊. Jessica at Three Rivers Homestead, today’s video included lemon balm chap stick. I was making chap stick today so I used my lemon balm and made it her way 😳 oh it’s velvety and super nice. I was pleased with it and the first time in years that I didn’t make the one I always do. Maybe check it out 👍
Hi Becky. About beets. We shred them in the food processor and eat them raw on salads. I'm telling you, it's an absolute game changer! You won't believe how different they taste raw. They keep a nice texture and add an amazing flavor to salads. I hope you try it and let us know what you think. Have a great day.
Do you peel them before you shred them? Thanks.
Young beetroot roasted and topped with sour cream is yummy too.
Add lemon juice to your beets. Mmmmmmmm
Hi Becky! Probably an unwanted tip for your mascara (but I was pleasantly surprised once I stopped doing it!) - pumping it before you put it on actually pushes air into the tube and can make your mascara dry out quicker!
nice to know
It's such a hard habit to break, I was just reminding myself today to not pump 😀
Tip for going to collect horse manure. Keep the bags from the compost you just bought and fill them with the horse manure. That way they are easy to move and keeps your truck cleaner!
I got horse poop one year and it was full of weed seed. Didn't do that again.
We were told by the farm bureau that horse manure has the least benefits of all manures. I put chicken manure in small doses into and around my garden. I did try horse manure and grass grew in the pieces that did not break down. You live and you learn with gardening ,
@@hollyblair-kiss9429 Ah, see, my neighbour has horses, so I can just walk over and get some for free. So I do that, even if other options are a bit better.
I have been so interested in your fabric experiment and how your plants have struggled. After watching this, I feel like its way way too much crazy work and having to add too much fert. I did an experiment with chopped hay this year and its amazing for weed supression and is like 2 minutes to apply and a breeze to work around.
And so much better for the soil as it will break down over time.
She has a lot of wind though 😢
Ok so here's my question? I live in a pretty windy area (except for deep summer when the air becomes stagnant) how do I keep the hay from blowing away?
@@athomewithjennywhen you water it it becomes compacted and wont blow away. It'll only blow away if you live in a dry climate and let it completely dry out.
@@jelatinosa ok I'll try it! Thanks!!
Hi Becky, It's so nice that you can easily drive your truck down by the garden to move large/heavy loads. Reminded me that a while back you purchased a side by side. Have you used that down by the garden yet & how are you liking it?
❤ good question?
You could have ground up that chicken in a food processor to replace the ground chicken that you forgot to buy. Also, marmalade is so easy to make. So yes, you can definitely make your own. Video idea!😊
If you put a good sized mailbox in your garden, you can leave some tools and gloves in it. I thought of that when you were trying to twist the top off old plants. My husband built me a cute little red box with a green roof with a door on front with a hook for closing. Then he attached it to a ‘t’ post.
Hi Becky!
Why pulling up the broccoli? You can harvest from them the whole summer aaand, the plant, you can eat that to, make a soup of the steem (save it in the freezer for a cold fall lunch) and fry the leaves and eat with an omelett or pasta.
It gets bitter in the heat and she needs the space for a rotation. I replant a fall crop of broccoli rather than keepi’g the spring one in place
@@TheEmbrio Bitter? I never heard or tasted broccoli that got bitter... Must be a variety.
Becky, if you plant beets, try eating the tops. I like it better than spinach. My grandmother used to cook them, sometimes cooking it with a ham hock, very good.
Hi Becky, can we see more of your chickens? Ever since they are confined to the new area, we don’t see them much anymore. Hope to see them munching on your greens that u throw to them too ❤
Yes I agree ❤
Hi Becky, I had a feeling you would snip through the irrigation tubes. Love how real you keep this channel. ✌🌻
This is Becky after all. Duh
It was inevitable.
Hi Becky, your garden and yard is so pretty! Had a thought, some nice stainless steel trash cans in a few areas might come in really handy. Few for things feed to chicken and few for trash. The trash ones you could use trash bags to make them easy to empty. You could also use one to store things like knife etc to make it easy since it's a hike back to your house to get them. The stainless would look nice and not blow away in the wind. Just a thought☺
Wet burlap sacks over the carrots seeds until they germinate is a great option as it still allows some airflow
Hello Becky!
You are such an inspiration! Good luck on the 2nd planting of the few garden beds you’re doing. I was just thinking that we haven’t had a giant freezer meal video in a while (no idea it has been 6 months!) and I can’t wait for tomorrows shenanigans.
My Moth3er is 95 year old Master gardener. She watched this episode with me, and said you need to get your rotation chart in place. She said you don't plant the same things in the same place, but move them around. She liked your layout, and agreed with your deer fence and thought it was all very "pretty". A few hours later we were just sitting together and she said, "Does your friend Becky compost her coffee and egg grounds?" I told her I thought you composed them but I wasn't sure. She said "Well next time you speak to her remind her they are very good for her garden also", I promised her I would, so here it is. Of course, we are in the deep South (Screven & Richmond County, Georgia) I didn't try to explain to her tha you lived in Oregon ... She is a jewel! I thought you'd appreciate her insight..
Your mom sounds just adorable!!!
When I lived in Oregon, I used coffee grounds. Your mom is right about it being good for the plants. It also helps with cabbage worms.
Have you considered putting a mailbox in your garden for easy access to gardening tools? I have pruners, scissors, gloves, twine etc in mine and I love it
Suggestions ❤
Maybe keep a large wooden mail box in your garden area,to keep nippers, gloves, etc to save you steps.
Love your videos
Hi Becky, look for a “leatherman tool” they come in various sizes it has a small knife, scissors, pliers and other tools all in a compact format. It is a helpful tool. Love your videos!
You should find rabbit poop to amend the beds, it doesn't have to break down before using. Lots of good nitrogen. Also, for your tomatoes, I put a heaping tablespoon of Epsom salt for gardening with a heaping tablespoon of bone meal. I get majorly large tomatoes and peppers doing this. Or dissolve the epsom salt in water and feed it every two or three weeks.
I meant to say put it in each hole for tomatoes and peppers
I have raised rabbits just for the bunny honey, does amazing things to the soil!!
Becky you mentioning horse manure! We got a local farmer deliver a dump truck load of horse manure one year. It was still very liquid. He started to drive across our garden to dump as he drove across but the bed ended up dumping in one place. I can actually say I have shoveled shiiit!!!! It took a while but after all the work spreading and flinging it all across our garden we ended up having the best garden ever! I had cabbages that were 15 and 20 lbs each. I had planted 200 OS cross a hybrid variety cabbage. Our potatoes were so big that one served two people. I made French fries and I could hardly hold it to peel it was so large. I would definitely suggest cow or horse manure if you can get it.
Today at Senior Day we each received 2 pints of blueberries, so many did not want theirs and they know I make pies….. I ended up with 10! Already washed and freezing……
Good on you Becky. I caught a glimpse of some mushroom compost at your gardening store. I use that and it’s fabulous, but you are doing a great job.
I thought about trying mushroom compost. Is it really good? I love mushrooms, was thinking 🤔 any flavor transferring to the vegetables? 😋😉I just love mushrooms....But probably not, huh?. Love your channel Becky!!❤️
I'm a new container Gardner, so I may ask silly questions sometimes. Thank you 💗😌
I love your garden and yellow tomatoes are the only ones I can eat so it makes my heart happy to see them being grown.
Hearing you talk about the BLT’s reminded me of a joke my son did once. I’m a Muslim, so I don’t eat bacon, and I’m allergic to something in red tomatoes. One day my son was going out to pick up dinner and asked what I wanted. While I was writing it down he said, “Let me guess, you want a BLT hold the B and the T!” and then he just rolled laughing so hard. 😂😂😂
My 19-year-old loves BLT but holds the T. Lol
Perhaps the lycopene in red tomatoes is causing your issues. Yellow tomatoes do not contain lycopene and should therefore be ideal for your diet. Just learned this recently. Lycopene is what gives thing like tomatoes and red grapefruit their pink/red color. Hope this helps!
@@shesatitagain234 thank you, I’ve never known what the difference was other than the acidity.
I ❤❤❤ fall gardening! It's so much better than summer problem wise.
You can probably use the landscaping fabric when winter comes and you can protect the soils beds
Having vege gardens for more than 65 years in my experience veges don’t do well with weed mat we put down cardboard then a layer of compost then a layer of hay no other nutrients needed other than a sprinkling of blood and bone. Also the brassicas don’t do well in hot weather. There is a chap called Charles Dowding on you tube who has invaluable tips I don’t know if you read what we write to you but I want to assure you I am not being critical just hoping to help you. Look up Charles it will change your life! Xx
My thoughts on your garden- I had an organic gardening friend who would produce the smallest vegetables I have ever ween because they were not watering their garden enough. Maybe raised beds dry out faster? Also, the black fabric is probably raising the temp of your beds too high for some of the vegetables. Just a thought!
Becky, you look beautiful! Would you (or have you already) made a video showing how you figure out and map out your agenda on a big freezer cooking day? It seems very overwhelming
Becky I love garden days! I learn so much! Thank you 😊
Hi lovely peeps. Another super video from our lovely Becky. Does anyone recognise the concealer she was using ? I’m finding the older I get the more I resemble a panda 😉. ❤️
Great job pulling your truck thru the gate for the 1st time into the garden area, Becky...yikes!
Mmm more planting! And Flowers! Love seeing the "Girls" get their Summer Salads!! You're a good mama~
To 'borrow' a famous quote, "Thanks for being here, and thanks for being YOU" ;)
I cover my carrot seeds with a clear shower curtain. It holds the moisture and I can see easily when they sprout.
Always fun to visit Becky.... Happy cooking and gardening....
What about using your chickens waste as some compost? If you use wood shavings as their bedding you could just compost that and use that as a really good fertilizer.
You are truly an inspiration how you are dedicated to your garden even doing what you did today, I’m so impressed. God bless you Becky.❤😊
You need a lg mailbox or small yard box for small hand tools. That way when you suddenly need some plant clippers for just a few minutes is not an issue going back to the house. Make it into a garden bench and you have a place to sit and enjoy a cuppa for a minute as well
Your garden is awesome and so excited to see your freezer cooking video coming out! 🎉🎉🎉 ty
Makeup in the car is definitely a mom thing!
I think my opinion ask questions before buying anything a lot of people have experience in this, slow down some, like you said can’t do it all, we all try too! Sometimes it put us in a crunch! Just saying just a friendly advice!! One day at a time, SLOW DOWN!
A tip I learned on line was to keep a used mail box in my garden (some distance from my main tool storage with some simple hand tools in it; gardening shears, knife, hand rake and hand trowel. That way if I forget to bring tools with me, I have what I need just steps away. The mailbox keeps the tools from getting wet and rusting. Then at the end of the season I can put them in my main tool storage till next year.
I love my drip tape system from drip depot. It was so easy to install and the customer service is amazing. I had so many questions and they helped me through everything. I would tie it with laying landscape fabric with making my gardening life more enjoyable.
Drip Depot is awesome!
Hi Becky, I would be interested to know how you know exactly what youre doing for the day. Do you use a planner or a wall calendar? I am always so impressed and admire your dedication to sticking with a plan. I have ADD so i have the most difficult time sticking to a plan.
Love seeing your videos! Can’t wait to see the freezer meals your making. They are always such inspiration for me!
It’s such a breath of fresh air coming here, it’s a great community Susan the mailbox idea is great
Dude!! That is SO nice you can drive right up to your beds like that. How awesome!
they set it up so she can drive down 3 of the 5 rows, if I remember correctly, with their ATV - and then a gorilla cart/wheelbarrow can be used in the other two rows to bring harvest/compost to the truck/atv to transport back to the house quickly.
I just love you….you are so real. I have followed you for years and have started my garden journey three years ago because of you. I have learned so much and enjoy your vlogs. Your Mom is a riot and love her too. Keep being you, you are beautiful even without make up. You and Josh are phenomenal parents. May your blessings be abundant ❤❤❤❤
Ants can grow aphid colonies on the plants.
Hi Becky, now that you brought it up, what concealer do you use? I like how it looks on you. Now, I want to watch the rest of the video.
The tube looks like Loreal Infallible pro glow foundation. Concealer never comes in such a big container. Concealer is more pigmented, so you use less 😘 smaller for the purse too.
@@AuntieD. Thank you!
L’Oréal Paris Makeup Infallible Up to 24HR Pro-Glow Foundation
I try to have seedlings ready to go so I’ve got a head start getting another planting in rather than seeds.
Means they have a head start and more likely to get a harvest.
Food looks great!
Hi Becky! If you’re in a pinch for ground chicken or Turkey and have breast/thighs, you can put those in the food processor or high powered blender! It works really well when you’re in a pinch!
Becky i plant all my Brassica, onions, in my fall garden. Way to hot for these plants to thrive in the heat. I would also cover your weedmat with peastraw or mulch to keep the sun from bearing down and baking your new plants roots. Can stunt growth and kill good soil bacteria also. I love the garden and ao jealous of its vastness. 🤗
I don’t remember where I saw it but there was a lady who put up a mailbox by her garden and she kept some small tools and gloves in it and they stayed nice and dry and were always at hand.
Good morning. Worm castings are great fertilizer! I have my own worm farm!
You might want to try soaker hose instead of the irrigation sprinklers.
Mushroom compost is great to use. I've had amazing results by adding mushroom compost❤❤❤
Take this from someone who has "been there and done that". Use a wheelbarrow or wagon whenever possible to transport those bags. I know it is easier to just haul them yourself, but trust me, your back will appreciate the help provided by using a wheelbarrow or wagon. I'm a 61-year-old nurse who has spent too many years lifting people by myself and doing yardwork and heavy hauling on my own. Don't be unwilling to ask for help at the store loading those bags either...trust me, you pay enough for the stuff!
Thank you for the inspiration you give me to" get it all done".. I have health issues and have had a huge back surgery at Duke. Little task for some are big tasks for me.. When I have multiple things to do in the kitchen and feel overwhelmed I say to myself...."I'm gonna be Becky today and get it all done, I have the energy of Becky today and all these things will get done in Jesus name" and it helps me and my motivation so Thank you!
I'm glad you decided to put the flowers on the outside. Consider the way the water is distributed in the bed so that the plant tops don't block the apart.
There is a recipe floating around RUclips for a chocolate beet cake. I haven't personally made it yet but the guy that did make it said it was delicious! It also looked very yummy
I ordered onions from Dixondale farms and they came to me moldy as well. Some were wet and slimy. I aired them out on trays with holes in them and planted them as soon as I could. All of mine turned out great. It did not affect them at all. Just wanted to let you know that. Could be just new soil.
Did you open the package right when it arrived? I have ordered from them for the last 2-3 years and they have never arrived moldy or wet.
@@transplanted.homestead I did. It’s the second time I’ve ordered from them. I still plan on ordering from them next year. It was really wet and rainy that whole month so I’m figured that was why. Plus they all turned out great. I just dried them out and pulled off the moldy leaves and planted them as soon as I was able to. Just saying this to let Becky know that mine were fine and are doing very well.
I just made marmalade for the first time!!!! Grapefruit and mandarin marmalade (I was tempted to add a bit of fresh ginger, but it would not go over well with my family
Suggestion: keep a wheelbarrow down in the garden to toss the chicken food into. Can also keep an empty compost bag for anything that needs to go into the garbage.
I hope you have started a large composting area so you have compost to amend your gardens. What are you doing with all your chicken poo? Start a worm bin they really are easy and the garden and plants love the vermicompost. I'm just a suburban backyard gardener and we only use what we make from our land. The gardens have flourished now that we have completely stopped buying soil/compost from the stores. Look into making your own homemade fertilizer as well. Comfrey is a great plant to start growing and makes a great fertilizer for the veggies.
Becky, Hi :) I love your Vlogs and Recipes. I have one concern...Did you change your sound equipment ? The sound tends to go in and out a bit. And the other question is ...Will you put out a cookbook? I want your recipes and gorgeous pictures in one book. I know I'm not the only one who would love a cookbook by you.
Where is your Polaris?
Why didn’t you use you little truck thingy you guys bought?
Hey Becky, just a heads up when getting horse manure. Years ago we had gotten free horse manure and didn’t realize that horses will eat what’s in the field…..which much of it is WEEDS!!!! We had soooooo many weeds come up and it became overwhelming!!!! You might want to ask what the horses are fed before you get the manure.😬 You could save yourself a lot of work and heartache.
I think Becky could benefit from watching Garden answer. Laura is the the queen of gardening. ☺️
I love Garden Answer. Laura is the best gardener and the best mom. I watch her ever day ❤❤❤
She knows Garden Answer. Becky is learning and figuring things out. She is doing great.
@@mwillis7791 oh course she is but like all of us it never hurts to watch the experts.
For your irrigation, look into Drip tape, you currently have drip tubing. Laura over at Garden Answer just set up drip tape irrigation for her mom and I think it would work MUCH better for you than the drip tubing.
I don't think that the landscape fabric is the way to go long term if you still have to pull or roll it up to amend and do other things. You could go without it and set a day each week to weed the beds, you'll be out there anyway harvesting. Just my opinion though.
You can plant a cover crop in beds to help fix soil, sun hemp, pumpkin, clover, black oil sunflowers, yellow mustard, worm castings… I hope your soil heals soon. Happy growing!
I don't plant in dry soil, I always water the soil, put in seeds and water again, Works grand.
Suggestion. Get you a small dec box to keep in the garden are for extra cutters, twine, gloves etc.
I can just picture your girls talking....... "HEY, mom's in the garden again. Looks like we are gonna get some yummy greens. WOOHOO (cluck, cluck, cluck)"...LOL!! I have no garden or chickens but I LOVE watching your videos and being a part of your RUclips friends :)
Becky use a mailbox to keep garden tools in, keeps tools handy. ALOHA
The soil is overheating with landscape fabric
I am looking at what I want to plant for the remainder of the year too. I am hoping to get a lot more this year than I have already. I started my garden very late.
Becky, I have been freeze drying and powdering our beet greens, broccoli leaves and stems for smoothies! Totally not trying to deny the girls the joy of munching on them but you could be turning that into smoothie material.
Hilarious! I said to myself, “Becky is going to cut through the irrigation lines”. And sure enough. 😅
What happened to your side by side? I thought that's what you bought it for?
Linda here…I wouldn’t put sunflowers in a bed. Not a good use of space. They’ll shade you’re crops. Plant them along a fence instead.
The manure may take a long, long time to break down. Usually best to add manure in fall so it doesn't burn the plants and has the winter months to do its magic. Liquid fertilizer is great as you know. Who makes the fish fertilizer product you use? It is really great. What a wonderful garden.
I think it's called Neptune's Harvest?
@@alisonsmith8653 Thank you!🐟
Don’t forget you can always shred the cheese and then freeze it. I don’t recommend freezing it in blocks.
My niece started making her own chapstick when she was little and her mom has turned it into a business now that shes gone to college!
i just watched threerivershomestead make some. and a lotion - like for diaper rash placed in deoderant containers
I have a meat
Grinder... But sometimes i use a food processor to grind up meat. Chicken pork or beef.
I didn't use to like beets much either until I roasted them. Game changer. Just wash, peel and cut up in small bite size pieces. Put in bowl, add a small amount of olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix through. Put on parchment paper lined tray and roast in oven at 400 degrees till done. The taste is totally different than when you boil or steam them. I also learned a trick of grating raw beets from "Getting Healthy with Stasia." Mighty tasty in a salad.
Hi, Becky loved the video always something to do for sure, some great process of re-planting love it I harvested my pod peas yesterday here in England and my carrots are doing great. xxx

I noticed that you're buying Cedar Grove compost. I made the mistake of buying several bags of that brand about three years ago and was sorely disappointed when I discovered that the compost was filled with LOTS of small pieces of hard plastic, plastic film and glass. I'm sure I'll be picking it out of the soil for years to come. 😕
Just a daily reminder that a weedy in ground garden is still and beautiful and productive one!
Yes! And so many “weeds” are actually beneficial and edible.
