Becky, if ever a woman underestimated herself it’s you! Your balance between celebrating the the good things and accepting the failures shows a balance that many people never learn.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My daughter is 6 and asks to watch your videos almost every evening. “Mom, does our garden girl have a new video?” Thank you for posting such uplifting and wholesome content. Your positivity is encouraging.
My daughter laughs and rolls her eyes when I do a little dance and say “Becky has a new video!” But Becky gave me a great idea to do a little homeschool garden this year!
I totally understand gardening for your mental health. While I was caring for my mother in her last stages of cancer and dementia, I needed a place to decompress. My garden became my sanctuary, my church, and my fresh air, a place to find peace amidst the struggle of watching my momma decline. We intentionally build my garden outside her bedroom window, so she could see me, and I could check on her. I planted mixed Zinnias and she loved looking at the colors and her last bouquet was from my garden. My garden was my release, now it is my passion. Every year, Zinnias are planted in the front, the same way they were when momma was with us. It is like having a piece of her still with me when they bloom. 💕🌼🌸
A garden hint for the future: Bring newspapers with you. You can slide sheets up under dried herbs or lay beside not so dried herbs. Wrap around your harvest and fold up. This will save all your leaves and seeds without any mess.
That is a great tip Libby, I'll definitely being doing that next time I harvest some. This is why I love to read other comments, we share with each other some wonderful tip & tricks for the garden & for harvesting. Thank you.
Becky, you are the absolute sweetest person on RUclips. Bringing us along this journey with you and being delighted in the fact that we were with you all this time makes me feel proud of the harvest. LoL You’re delightful to watch. Don’t ever change. I just want you to know that you’re in my prayers for baby, you and Josh. 100% respect you not sharing much and I totally understand but you’re all still in my prayers. Take care.
I love hearing their happy chatter too! I wish I could have a few chickens but it is not to be. But I certainly enjoy hearing Becky's happy chooks, they know she loves them.
Don't be embarassed or ashamed about that greenstalk! I tell my son, "Your "embarassment" or "failure" probably brought much needed comfort to those that are in the same boat as you but they don't realize they aren't alone!" Thank you so much for dispelling the myth that you or anyone else is perfect 100% of the time. I love your ability to lay it all out there so we can all relax and follow along knowing that you are just like us & we are just like you. It's so refreshing to learn from you...your successes AND mistakes!! That's where you really learn.
This video has inspired me to get out in my garden tonight! I'm 34 weeks with baby #2 and a 1.5 yr old and between that fatigue and the heat my garden has been SO neglected. Thank you for your spirit, your enthusiasm, and your kindness!
Becky, you are so cute with your expressions! Being emotional when you're pregnant is not unusual, but I could tell you really had heartfelt feelings for your garden, which is awesome. Love watching you harvest all the veggies you grew from seed. Huge accomplishment for sure.
A suggestion for you Becky….before you start sell your house may I suggest that you take all your fencing from the garden. Even your chicken fencing and t posts too. I don’t know about your part of the country, but here on the east coast we have a shortage of fencing and t posts. You will thank yourself for it because you will be able to use it in your new garden spaces.
@@muffydragonslayer she’s literally shown their set up in many videos. The feeder and watering thing Josh made can hold multiple days worth of what they need, she’s filming at the house all the time and mentioning taking stuff to her “girls.” You’re the one making a leap assuming they’re neglecting and mistreating the animals, I’m guessing you’re not at her house everyday either? Literally no reason at all to assume the worst in strangers when they have shown time and time again they care for their animals.
@@muffydragonslayer wow negative Nancy, instead of assuming incorrectly and having no manners what so ever, why not ask about the chickens? That is what adults do
Becky, your at 351! Let’s get Becky to 400. Let’s keep her on RUclips and help her stay on. Not keeping her here with us is not a option. ❤ All your harvest just thrills my heart. I think watching you goes to us with mental health! Please drink water!! Baby needs water also!! Those little lizards I have also. But now we are invaded with .Cuban curly tail lizards! About 6-7X S larger and they are not afraid of humans. They dig. Your garden is beautiful and I’m over the moon with you. Have fun tomorrow and high to your sweet parents. 🥰🥰❤🧸🌴🦩
wow that was exciting. I caught myself clapping when you were getting those huge peppers. I am 72 and have major mobility issues so can no longer garden. I built raised beds as well and found them super productive to the point I was harvesting 100 plus tomatoes a day. I free flow froze them in paper rubbish sacks and they were wonderful all year. I liked the italian tomatoes best. I love watching you in the garden as it brings back the best memories.
Menards has the raised beds (on legs) on sale for $19.99 each. I’m picking some up tomorrow to add to my container garden. That bending over is getting to me as well. Saving seeds and already looking forward to spring. In full preservation mode now and my garden did not do well this year in my zone. Weather did not cooperate but I’ll take what I can get. Thank god for local producers who will sell me “ugly” produce cheap which works because I’m just canning and dehydrating anyway. Blessings.
Give grace when changes in life happens, you have a bounty of food to preserve. Being pregnant you will get emotional sometimes for no reason. It's your hormones, and it's ok. Enjoying the video, take care. Pat from Oregon coast.
We always used to have a terrible problem with slugs but this year we didn’t see any we then discovered that we had a hedgehog in the garden, so now we have made him/her a house as thanks for solving the slug problems
Save and dehydrate the celery leaves to use as seasoning. Or just cut them up with the stalks to freeze or can. The leaves have more flavor than the stalks IMO.
Becky, you've done an incredible job trying to move and doing the huge garden and fixing up your new house. And all the videos you manage to put out at the same time. Take care!!! 💜👶🏻💙
Ive garden for years but warms my heart seeing a gardener being as excited about gardening. It only gets better...... this comes from someone with 30 years of gardening!
My Aunt Anita grew her own food from seed she worked hard. Even swept the sidewalks in front of her home, chopped wood for her stove and fire place. She lived to be 105! Healthy and mobile never sick
5 minutes in and I have to stop and tell you that YOU DID NOT FAIL! You planted an abundance for your family and others and chose your priorities along the way, sick as getting moved and taking care of yourself and family in addition to any gardening and harvesting. YOU SUCCEEDED!
Haya. From Ireland. Travelling around the world now. BUT….. have to get my Acre Homestead fix. Your adorable…… interesting…..and most importantly…YOURSELF. So lovely. Learning lots. 🇮🇪
When I was a kid we had a bad slug problem. I remember my parents used a disposable pie plate that they dug into the ground level with the rim, then added beer to the tin. The slugs traveled from the garden to the beer and died. It smelled and looked gross but worked great.
Hi Becky! My Mother-in-law used to crush up eggshells all year and put them around her raised beds to stop the slugs. For some reason they dont like the sharp edges.
Even with you being too busy to baby your garden like you really wanted, nature took over and produced some beautiful results from your initial work. When we put in some effort, the Earth can work wonders! You and Mother Nature are collaborators, Becky! What a beautiful garden you made.
I once had a doctor tell me that he didn't consider gardening exercise. I asked him if he had ever built a garden and maintained it. No, was his answer, but I already knew that by his not exercise statement.
Hey Becky! I know you have quite a few local viewers. Why don’t you call a work party for your garden? We would be happy to come help you get it into shape for the new owner. We could get it all done in a few hours and it’s one less thing for you to worry about. :)
Wonderful harvest! This year, I have had to rely on God to water and grow my garden that I managed to plant in early spring and summer between taking care of my parents who have had to move in with us and now driving back and forth to the hospital almost every day on a trip that is 45 minutes one way so that my mom can visit and care for my stepdad who has been in the hospital for three months now. My husband planted store bought tomatoes and peppers for me (first time he has ever planted anything in the garden) and we have had a blessedly rainy year for a change. I am amazed at how much I have been able to harvest from the garden the one or two days a week I manage to get in there! Thank you, Lord! I love watching your channel with your upbeat, can do attitude, your boundless energy, and your efficiency when preparing meals for the freezer! Can’t wait to see you grow and learn as you start your own family. God bless you
Again, I am amazed at the energy you have during your pregnancy. I loved gathering your harvest with you. Thanks for taking us along. Praying for you that you have supernatural energy and strength during this time of growth for you and your baby. I Bless you in your season of supporting life.
Becky, I just can’t say enough how much I love your channel. I’ve enjoyed you from wayyy back and you’re helping me get through a big cancer journey right now with my 3 year old. We’re at St Jude and you were on almost the entire time she was in surgery. Thanks for all you do! Livie loves watching you, too!
I recently just ran across some cucamelons at one of our farms that a renter had planted or something. When I researched them it said that when they turn purple or black that they are toxic and act as a laxative. I found this on multiple sources. Maybe you know more about it? Didn’t want Becky to eat them unknowingly if that is true.
It was the “you’ll love it better over here” for me. Even the frog wants to be adopted by with you and Josh! I aspire to be that gentle with Mother Nature and her creatures. Thanks Becky🤍
Becky, I absolutely love your enthusiasm!! When you first came in the garden I got the impression you were overwhelmed and possibly near tears. By the time you were leaving the garden you seemed so joyful and energized! I loved this video! Truly gardening is good for more than food, like you said! It lifts your mood, it lifted mine just watching you! Love your videos Becky!! You are doing such a fantastic job! Your content is always interesting and uplifting!!!
For the protection of your feet it is wise to have closed toe shoes. Then you eliminate tripping from the open toe shoes catching on thngs, also bees, spiders, snakes, thorns, splinters, garden tools, etc. Just good idea!
I was hoping you would upload today. I lost my grandfather in April after a long illness and the last bit conversation we had was how he married my grandmother in a tomato patch, right when he proposed to her (he brought a priest with him) because he loved her so much. My tomatoes have been taking forever to ripen in my garden this year. Today my grandma went to join my grandpa. I went out to the garden to have a good cry and all my tomatoes are red and ripe. Thank you for sharing your garden today.
Putting your coriander in a paper bag is a good idea. Also, picking them a bit earlier when they just begin to turn brown and then letting them dry can keep the seeds on the plant better. Some people even like the taste of green coriander seeds. I really am amazed at all you do and the joy you have and share with us. I only found your channel recently and I absolutely love it. ❤️
My first thought, you need more baskets!!! What a joy to spend time in your garden!!! My friend's grandma used to go weeding when she was angry. By the time she was done, she always felt better and her garden was amazing. She didn't get mad often but her garden and kitchen floor looked great!!!
I giggled when she said cabbage patch.. brought me back to my childhood😄 I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like a baby bump shot if you don't mind 😄
I just harvested my winter onions (I live in South Africa and it’s winter here) the excitement I felt was thrilling and my family didn’t get it! Becky!! Your excitement makes my heart sing because you get it!!! Thank you for your videos! ♥️🐾🌺
Tracy... I just haven't a killer amount of spinach here in Bloemfontein. I planted my tomatoes seeds today. Cannot wait for spring to start. Have you selected your spring seeds yet?
@@elritascheepers8075 Absolutely!!! I am ready and waiting!!! I have found a few gem herbs in the last couple of weeks… pineapple sage and Vietnamese Coriander! Incredible!!
I Garden for mental and emotional and physical health. I am disabled but I can hobble around my garden enough to do the bare minimum. It gives me the motivation to push through when the pain is so bad that I just want to stay in bed. I have to look after my plants and that motivates me every single day and forces me outdoors Seeing the bees buzz around the flowers and vegetables I grew from seed brings so much joy.
It is January 2023 and zero degrees outside and I'm dreaming about my garden this year and binge watching these harvest videos, I love them and all your vids, thank you for doing youtube and sharing your way of life with thousands of strangers, you've taught me so much and I'm thankful truly. Also, I love how you just harvested $30 worth of eggs, lol. I only have four chickens but I'm so grateful for them.
My favorite moment from this video happens @ 41:48. The look of genuine excitement and joy on your face is priceless! Becky, you are a rare gem that I'm so happy I found!! I'm eagerly awaiting that same joy directed at your little one! ;) Its going to be a fun ride!
Becky, this probably won't mean a hill of beans, because I realize you probably won't even see this since I'm hundreds of comments in, but I just want you to know I really love you. I could say "thank you for sharing, or thank you for showing up" but because of you I've ordered grow lights and I'm working on my teeny tiny back yard to grow three beds of "garden" space...all because you have used the words "us & we & together"...I don't have a family left to belong to the growing community, and so I love you for making me feel like I belong. And so for THOSE reasons I thank you, but mostly my heart is happy when I understand that there's a growers heart and there's just something special about that, and THAT, I think is love, like God wants us to be. Just sharing and hoping and believing that we are a community and you brought us along with you, and I'm here for it! XOXO thank you.
I get so excited when I see you have uploaded a new video,it doesn’t matter what your video focuses on each time you always make it so fun and interesting at the same time,please don’t think I’m a crazy person or anything because I’m honestly not but I’m disabled and confined to a bed so watching RUclips is a big part of my day and I could easily sit and watch you all day lol x
I really appreciated what you said about how shallow diet culture can be and how gardening is fulfilling in so many ways! I love that gardening is a fun and productive way to exercise and nourish ourselves! Gardening has 100% helped my mental health and it's a positive and healthy thing to invest time and money in.
May sound silly but I feel so proud of you for your wonderful harvest. Brings joy to my heart and your positivity is also something you should be very proud of. Was squeaking don’t forget your corn husks at the start. Like you can hear me lol 😆
Ok, I finally figured it out! You remind me of Mr. Rogers! You have a sweet spirit and your gentle and excited and you share adventures with us and you call us your friends. I'm so blessed by your videos Becky. Stay well ❤️
I Love Nicole at FHF. we are kindred spirits. I started the same way you did. Produce first, nothing else. Then I (slowly) got into Flowers right after my first year many years ago. I have no intention of selling cut flowers- but you never know. It never hurts to have many skill sets under your belt! Your garden is doing great. The Power of Garden Therapy is magic.
I started 250 plants from seed in March. Blessed my sister and 7 friends with their tomatoes and peppers for their gardens. I'm right there with you about being outside and getting my hands dirty. Feels good to my soul!
Your joy at harvest is infectious! I enjoyed watching you gather your vegetables and eggs. I am learning about chickens watching you. "Give it to the girls!" Makes me smile. Congrats on a great harvest. I am looking forward to potato time. Thanks for sharing!
I learned something new, never knew that a tomatoe not at full maturity is called blushing. I'm not remotely close to being a gardener, it gives me great joy to watch Becky in the garden. Her passion is heartwarming. I'm going to start telling random people I see in the store that are perusing the tomatoes, if they aren't fully ripe, I'm going to say " that tomato, is blushing ", like I am gaerdner😀😀. Becky you and that knife🙄
Hi Becky. Oh my goodness. What a beautiful harvest just from those two beds. Also don't say it's my fault when something failed because of lack of watering. Look back at your own videos and see what you've accomplished. You moved and pregnant while at it! Still you get so much from that garden because you have nature run it's course. Sometimes constantly pruning isn't always the best thing and this garden shows it. I can't wait to see more of this beautiful garden. P.S. My tomato plants are getting big on my balcony and the basil is doing amazing! No garden but still fresh products from plants in a container. 😉 Bye my friend ❤️🇳🇱
Here is a lot self satisfaction when you grow and harvest your own food. I always said, I feel better when I dig in the dirt. Ha ha. Your chickens are so happy. You make me want chickens.
Very happy to be able to see your excitement, pride, and humbleness as you discover everything you are harvesting. Don’t be too hard on yourself with the slight losses/failures. I look forward to food preservation ideas.
Love to see all you produce! You are one of the first people that inspired me to start my garden. This year has been rough but I just made scuppernong jam from home grown scuppernongs and we have enjoyed tons of fresh fruit from our property this year. I was so happy to find another kindred spirit who makes many many meals from scratch and works to have homegrown food for her family. I feel like many people hear what I am doing (bake all my own bread, tortillas, snacks etc, grow as much as we can, make deals with local farmers/neighbors to trade baked goods for produce etc.) and they write me off as someone who has too much time on her hands. It is refreshing to see someone who does what I am doing and more. You are encouraging!
Becky, at your new house you should put in raised gardens (really raised so you don't have to bend over to plant, weed and harvest. Like 3-4 feet high. No small animal problems and when you get old, you will appreciate it!
I'm pretty sure that green stalk is going to be even more beautiful at the new house... Because yay it's dead you Could move it to the new house and plant some herbs.:)
Maybe next year when you go to harvest your coriander, you can place a tarp on the ground underneath them before you pull them up? Just an idea. Also, blossom end rot is a calcium deficiency, nut is usually due to not watering often enough. The plant can't absorb the calcium in the soil well enough because it does not have enough water to transport it up the plant. So glad that your garden has been so productive! I can't wait to get mine going for next year now that we just moved in to our first house!
I agree so much about what our gardens bring to the proverbial table. My gardens are my sanctuary from the chaos. Being in my gardens lessons my overactive mind and helps me maintain calm. The added bonus is foods prepared in various forms for future use. Loved this video. Thank you.
all look good in those baskets! but ooo that beautiful potato!! and I agree with you Id rather take a slow walk in the park or woods than spend time on a treadmill
I love the way you involve us in your process of doing your chores. You have such excitement in the glory of harvesting as well as pulling weeds for your “girls”. You are such a joy to watch and learn from.
You are totally going to be the momma with the baby strapped on you because you’ll never be able to sit still….I don’t have a garden right now but used to and so enjoyed coming along on this harvesting vlog…thanks, Becky you’re the best!
I garden for the same reasons Becky. 😊 I think alot of us do. And I grew everything in my garden from seed. There is something about it that just makes you so proud of yourself and what you created. 😁🌻 I don't think I'll ever stop growing things. Great harvest!
I don't have a jealous bone in my body but boy, this streak in me lying so deep and dormant all my 73 years, came to the fore when I saw your jalapeno harvest. I was laughing and shouting "yes" as you found more and more. I tried to grow them when I lived in London, England but not successful. Now I live a mere hundred miles from Scotland and the weather is always cooler up here so I have not even attempted to grow them. I just love your enthusiasm and real happiness at your harvest. Can't wait for you to tackle your next garden (baby and tiredness allowing).
Oh my goodness. You make my heart feel good spending time with you. You bring a bright ray or sunshine and joy to all of your followers. Be proud of yourself and all of your hard work. I agree with June's comment below. Great job in your garden!
A good book you may want to read is titled "Weeds, Guardians of the Soil". You learn to work with the weeds. Instead of pulling them and chancing damaging the roots of the plants you want, you could chop and drop prior to seeding out. It as fertility to the soil. Or add them to a compost pile. Many have deep tap root and drawl up minerals and nutrients the other plants need.
Becky I always look for your videos and get excited to watch them lol 😆 😂 I love seeing your cute expressions and reactions to the littlest of things it makes me smile your so cute and a bundle of energy being pregnant like you forget your pregnant and go go go and lift all those things when you was moving and harvesting ..hugs to you .your harvest was great you never fail because your always trying no one fails !!!! My mom and dad was a great gardener they had huge garden every year my mom canned everything. I never had store bought jelly until i was 29 years old because my mom gave it to me until I moved to another state I missed all her canned vegetables..now there both deceased I miss them. Take care happy weekend 😊 😘
I love how you always include US...your followers and use the terms friends, together, we did this together...It makes me truly feel included and that you are speaking from a genuine place of YOU. THANKYOU ❤️
Was getting ready to hit one of my favorite farmers markets and thought, let me check my phone and look what popped up! Love seeing you so happy in your beautiful garden. I don’t get to hop on as much (getting ready to send my daughter off to college) so I’ve been super busy and have missed seeing your garden and your “girls “. Thank you for putting a smile on my face and a tingle in my heart 😉. Now off to support my local farmers!
Becky, if ever a woman underestimated herself it’s you! Your balance between celebrating the the good things and accepting the failures shows a balance that many people never learn.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a wonderful garden. All that produce!! You will be busy for awhile . This sure is in your element. Beautiful .

I do the same!! Lol
Haha that's my friends and my partner 🤣 "BECKY VIDEO IM PLAYING IT RIGHT NOW!" *is at the grocery store.... in line* 👀 I don't have an addiction.....

Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. I can fully relate to the healing benefits of gardening.
A garden hint for the future: Bring newspapers with you. You can slide sheets up under dried herbs or lay beside not so dried herbs. Wrap around your harvest and fold up. This will save all your leaves and seeds without any mess.
Great ideal..but I got another one for ya...I make cheese cloth tie baggies..cover the end of the plant...looks like it wear a bonnet..😊

I do as well
Wow. What a great idea 💡
Would love to know how it’s done. Maybe there’s a video on RUclips.
@@babe9293 just dry the leaves and crumble into jar then add whatever salt you want to use. I did about a 50/50 mix. It’s amazing on roast vegetables.
Thanks for this tip!!

It made me get a little emotional along with her! Becky is such a likeable woman.
I too got a little emotional as she was in her garden. Bless her
The chickens were cheering "Mom! Mom! Mom!" when you got there! That was adorable 😍! Look forward to the potato and onion harvest!
I sure hope your husband knows how lucky he is. You're like a modern-day superhero.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that has let the garden go and is feeling overwhelmed by that. Life happened this year and my garden just went wild.
We always used to have a terrible problem with slugs but this year we didn’t see any we then discovered that we had a hedgehog in the garden, so now we have made him/her a house as thanks for solving the slug problems
Save and dehydrate the celery leaves to use as seasoning. Or just cut them up with the stalks to freeze or can. The leaves have more flavor than the stalks IMO.
Becky, you've done an incredible job trying to move and doing the huge garden and fixing up your new house. And all the videos you manage to put out at the same time. Take care!!!
💜👶🏻💙
Ive garden for years but warms my heart seeing a gardener being as excited about gardening. It only gets better...... this comes from someone with 30 years of gardening!
My Aunt Anita grew her own food from seed she worked hard. Even swept the sidewalks in front of her home, chopped wood for her stove and fire place. She lived to be 105! Healthy and mobile never sick
5 minutes in and I have to stop and tell you that YOU DID NOT FAIL!
You planted an abundance for your family and others and chose your priorities along the way, sick as getting moved and taking care of yourself and family in addition to any gardening and harvesting.
YOU SUCCEEDED!
not only do need to gather all the veggies you need to get all your pots and fencing and post and all of stuff for your new home
Haya. From Ireland. Travelling around the world now. BUT….. have to get my Acre Homestead fix. Your adorable…… interesting…..and most importantly…YOURSELF. So lovely. Learning lots. 🇮🇪
Wonderfully put.
Seeing Becky in her garden makes me so happy for her 🤍🙏🤍
When I was a kid we had a bad slug problem. I remember my parents used a disposable pie plate that they dug into the ground level with the rim, then added beer to the tin. The slugs traveled from the garden to the beer and died. It smelled and looked gross but worked great.
Hi Becky! My Mother-in-law used to crush up eggshells all year and put them around her raised beds to stop the slugs. For some reason they dont like the sharp edges.
Even with you being too busy to baby your garden like you really wanted, nature took over and produced some beautiful results from your initial work. When we put in some effort, the Earth can work wonders! You and Mother Nature are collaborators, Becky! What a beautiful garden you made.
Hi Becky from Jamaica Love your energy
I once had a doctor tell me that he didn't consider gardening exercise. I asked him if he had ever built a garden and maintained it. No, was his answer, but I already knew that by his not exercise statement.
Hey Becky! I know you have quite a few local viewers. Why don’t you call a work party for your garden? We would be happy to come help you get it into shape for the new owner. We could get it all done in a few hours and it’s one less thing for you to worry about. :)
I would fly from South Africa just help out! This channel is perfect for inspiration and upliftment.
Wonderful harvest! This year, I have had to rely on God to water and grow my garden that I managed to plant in early spring and summer between taking care of my parents who have had to move in with us and now driving back and forth to the hospital almost every day on a trip that is 45 minutes one way so that my mom can visit and care for my stepdad who has been in the hospital for three months now. My husband planted store bought tomatoes and peppers for me (first time he has ever planted anything in the garden) and we have had a blessedly rainy year for a change. I am amazed at how much I have been able to harvest from the garden the one or two days a week I manage to get in there! Thank you, Lord! I love watching your channel with your upbeat, can do attitude, your boundless energy, and your efficiency when preparing meals for the freezer! Can’t wait to see you grow and learn as you start your own family. God bless you
Again, I am amazed at the energy you have during your pregnancy. I loved gathering your harvest with you. Thanks for taking us along. Praying for you that you have supernatural energy and strength during this time of growth for you and your baby. I Bless you in your season of supporting life.
Becky, I just can’t say enough how much I love your channel. I’ve enjoyed you from wayyy back and you’re helping me get through a big cancer journey right now with my 3 year old. We’re at St Jude and you were on almost the entire time she was in surgery. Thanks for all you do! Livie loves watching you, too!
The first cucamelon you saw was the perfect size. The one you ate was on the big side. They're best before the seeds have time to develop
I recently just ran across some cucamelons at one of our farms that a renter had planted or something. When I researched them it said that when they turn purple or black that they are toxic and act as a laxative. I found this on multiple sources. Maybe you know more about it? Didn’t want Becky to eat them unknowingly if that is true.
Becky, You definitely have a Green Thumb👍
It was the “you’ll love it better over here” for me.
Even the frog wants to be adopted by with you and Josh!
I aspire to be that gentle with Mother Nature and her creatures.
Thanks Becky🤍
Becky, I absolutely love your enthusiasm!! When you first came in the garden I got the impression you were overwhelmed and possibly near tears. By the time you were leaving the garden you seemed so joyful and energized! I loved this video! Truly gardening is good for more than food, like you said! It lifts your mood, it lifted mine just watching you! Love your videos Becky!! You are doing such a fantastic job! Your content is always interesting and uplifting!!!
I clicked so fast. Im so ready for this video! 😄 Your apron is so cute. I never even thought of a harvesting apron! Great idea whoever sent it to you.
Haha. Me too!
Same here!
Me too! I check everyday just in case she surprises us with an extra video!
And it held so much cabbage!
Don’t forget your knife.
It’s one of those best feelings in the world, to plant something and watch it grow!
For the protection of your feet it is wise to have closed toe shoes. Then you eliminate tripping from the open toe shoes catching on thngs, also bees, spiders, snakes, thorns, splinters, garden tools, etc. Just good idea!
I was hoping you would upload today. I lost my grandfather in April after a long illness and the last bit conversation we had was how he married my grandmother in a tomato patch, right when he proposed to her (he brought a priest with him) because he loved her so much. My tomatoes have been taking forever to ripen in my garden this year. Today my grandma went to join my grandpa. I went out to the garden to have a good cry and all my tomatoes are red and ripe. Thank you for sharing your garden today.
For poppy seeds for baking, a Breadseed Poppy plant is what you want.
There is no growth without failure.
You're just starting your gardening career, be easy on yourself!! Take it and learn 💕
Putting your coriander in a paper bag is a good idea. Also, picking them a bit earlier when they just begin to turn brown and then letting them dry can keep the seeds on the plant better. Some people even like the taste of green coriander seeds. I really am amazed at all you do and the joy you have and share with us. I only found your channel recently and I absolutely love it. ❤️
I love Becky's chickens. They make me happy when I hear them. They must love their treats so much!
My first thought, you need more baskets!!! What a joy to spend time in your garden!!!
My friend's grandma used to go weeding when she was angry. By the time she was done, she always felt better and her garden was amazing. She didn't get mad often but her garden and kitchen floor looked great!!!
Yes! I do the same thing.
I want to say something for the baby thanks Mom for picking the best nutrition to eat to help me grow. 💜❤️
My garden has done so much better since I’ve learned to detach emotionally. Great video!
Courtney, YES. I'm finding that with experience, comes emotional maturity with regards to the garden, 😆
@MysticMoonShop 1000% correct lol.
Same with my house. I recently heard someone say that having a clean house is morally neutral it has really helped my guilt and self-sabotage.
I giggled when she said cabbage patch.. brought me back to my childhood😄
I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like a baby bump shot if you don't mind 😄
I just harvested my winter onions (I live in South Africa and it’s winter here) the excitement I felt was thrilling and my family didn’t get it! Becky!! Your excitement makes my heart sing because you get it!!! Thank you for your videos! ♥️🐾🌺
Tracy... I just haven't a killer amount of spinach here in Bloemfontein. I planted my tomatoes seeds today. Cannot wait for spring to start. Have you selected your spring seeds yet?
@@elritascheepers8075 Absolutely!!! I am ready and waiting!!! I have found a few gem herbs in the last couple of weeks… pineapple sage and Vietnamese Coriander! Incredible!!
@@tracys7238 where did you find them?
@@elritascheepers8075 At the most absurd place ever… Mica Hardware Store in Cape Town. Spring will need here soon! Have fun!
I Garden for mental and emotional and physical health. I am disabled but I can hobble around my garden enough to do the bare minimum. It gives me the motivation to push through when the pain is so bad that I just want to stay in bed. I have to look after my plants and that motivates me every single day and forces me outdoors Seeing the bees buzz around the flowers and vegetables I grew from seed brings so much joy.
I’m so excited for all the things going on in ur life. Harvest, baby, house… love it love it!!
It is January 2023 and zero degrees outside and I'm dreaming about my garden this year and binge watching these harvest videos, I love them and all your vids, thank you for doing youtube and sharing your way of life with thousands of strangers, you've taught me so much and I'm thankful truly. Also, I love how you just harvested $30 worth of eggs, lol. I only have four chickens but I'm so grateful for them.
My favorite moment from this video happens @ 41:48. The look of genuine excitement and joy on your face is priceless! Becky, you are a rare gem that I'm so happy I found!! I'm eagerly awaiting that same joy directed at your little one! ;) Its going to be a fun ride!
Haha, I loved that, too. _omg beans! Lookit the beans! (munch munch munch)_
Becky, this probably won't mean a hill of beans, because I realize you probably won't even see this since I'm hundreds of comments in, but I just want you to know I really love you. I could say "thank you for sharing, or thank you for showing up" but because of you I've ordered grow lights and I'm working on my teeny tiny back yard to grow three beds of "garden" space...all because you have used the words "us & we & together"...I don't have a family left to belong to the growing community, and so I love you for making me feel like I belong.
And so for THOSE reasons I thank you, but mostly my heart is happy when I understand that there's a growers heart and there's just something special about that, and THAT, I think is love, like God wants us to be. Just sharing and hoping and believing that we are a community and you brought us along with you, and I'm here for it!
XOXO thank you.
I get so excited when I see you have uploaded a new video,it doesn’t matter what your video focuses on each time you always make it so fun and interesting at the same time,please don’t think I’m a crazy person or anything because I’m honestly not but I’m disabled and confined to a bed so watching RUclips is a big part of my day and I could easily sit and watch you all day lol x
We paid 4.50 for 18 eggs today 🥚 in Texas! I can’t wait to have my own chickens 🐓 for eggs 🥚
I really appreciated what you said about how shallow diet culture can be and how gardening is fulfilling in so many ways! I love that gardening is a fun and productive way to exercise and nourish ourselves! Gardening has 100% helped my mental health and it's a positive and healthy thing to invest time and money in.
I think gardening brings people closer to God and brings our minds to our blessings. Your rebeckia are stunning and they bring the bees !
May sound silly but I feel so proud of you for your wonderful harvest. Brings joy to my heart and your positivity is also something you should be very proud of. Was squeaking don’t forget your corn husks at the start. Like you can hear me lol 😆
Ok, I finally figured it out! You remind me of Mr. Rogers! You have a sweet spirit and your gentle and excited and you share adventures with us and you call us your friends. I'm so blessed by your videos Becky. Stay well ❤️
Maybe you could take the one green stalk up to the other house and some of your fall planting in that
I Love Nicole at FHF. we are kindred spirits. I started the same way you did. Produce first, nothing else. Then I (slowly) got into Flowers right after my first year many years ago. I have no intention of selling cut flowers- but you never know. It never hurts to have many skill sets under your belt! Your garden is doing great. The Power of Garden Therapy is magic.
I started 250 plants from seed in March. Blessed my sister and 7 friends with their tomatoes and peppers for their gardens. I'm right there with you about being outside and getting my hands dirty. Feels good to my soul!
Thank you Becky for talking about how gardening can improve mental health !!
Your joy at harvest is infectious! I enjoyed watching you gather your vegetables and eggs. I am learning about chickens watching you. "Give it to the girls!" Makes me smile. Congrats on a great harvest. I am looking forward to potato time. Thanks for sharing!
I learned something new, never knew that a tomatoe not at full maturity is called blushing. I'm not remotely close to being a gardener, it gives me great joy to watch
Becky in the garden. Her passion is heartwarming. I'm going to start telling random people I see in the store that are perusing the tomatoes, if they aren't fully ripe, I'm going to say " that tomato, is blushing ", like I am gaerdner😀😀. Becky you and that knife🙄
Hi Becky. Oh my goodness. What a beautiful harvest just from those two beds. Also don't say it's my fault when something failed because of lack of watering. Look back at your own videos and see what you've accomplished. You moved and pregnant while at it! Still you get so much from that garden because you have nature run it's course. Sometimes constantly pruning isn't always the best thing and this garden shows it. I can't wait to see more of this beautiful garden. P.S. My tomato plants are getting big on my balcony and the basil is doing amazing! No garden but still fresh products from plants in a container. 😉 Bye my friend ❤️🇳🇱
Here is a lot self satisfaction when you grow and harvest your own food. I always said, I feel better when I dig in the dirt. Ha ha. Your chickens are so happy. You make me want chickens.
Very happy to be able to see your excitement, pride, and humbleness as you discover everything you are harvesting. Don’t be too hard on yourself with the slight losses/failures. I look forward to food preservation ideas.
Becky the chickens 🐓 are saying: Awww Awww she really loves us 🤩
I love how excited you get. I feel the same way but my garden is very tiny.
A garden bouquet can be all colors. Celebrate the blooms!
Love to see all you produce! You are one of the first people that inspired me to start my garden. This year has been rough but I just made scuppernong jam from home grown scuppernongs and we have enjoyed tons of fresh fruit from our property this year. I was so happy to find another kindred spirit who makes many many meals from scratch and works to have homegrown food for her family. I feel like many people hear what I am doing (bake all my own bread, tortillas, snacks etc, grow as much as we can, make deals with local farmers/neighbors to trade baked goods for produce etc.) and they write me off as someone who has too much time on her hands. It is refreshing to see someone who does what I am doing and more. You are encouraging!
Becky, at your new house you should put in raised gardens (really raised so you don't have to bend over to plant, weed and harvest. Like 3-4 feet high. No small animal problems and when you get old, you will appreciate it!
Watching you discover all the surprises in the garden is so much fun. I can't wait for the potato and onion harvest video!
OMG!!! Me too. When the video was over, I thought: I hope another video is out tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure that green stalk is going to be even more beautiful at the new house... Because yay it's dead you Could move it to the new house and plant some herbs.:)
Maybe next year when you go to harvest your coriander, you can place a tarp on the ground underneath them before you pull them up? Just an idea. Also, blossom end rot is a calcium deficiency, nut is usually due to not watering often enough. The plant can't absorb the calcium in the soil well enough because it does not have enough water to transport it up the plant. So glad that your garden has been so productive! I can't wait to get mine going for next year now that we just moved in to our first house!
Good idea about the coria, but try a cotton sheet so you can see them. They won't bounce as much either.
Gardening is so good for our health Lots of work and lots of reward It makes me sooo happy
I agree so much about what our gardens bring to the proverbial table. My gardens are my sanctuary from the chaos. Being in my gardens lessons my overactive mind and helps me maintain calm. The added bonus is foods prepared in various forms for future use. Loved this video. Thank you.
And you and the little frog was a crack up!!
When my garden is complete (I want to add 2 more raised beds) I intend to put a bench in the area to sit, relax and enjoy my bounty
all look good in those baskets! but ooo that beautiful potato!! and I agree with you Id rather take a slow walk in the park or woods than spend time on a treadmill
I love the way you involve us in your process of doing your chores. You have such excitement in the glory of harvesting as well as pulling weeds for your “girls”. You are such a joy to watch and learn from.
You are totally going to be the momma with the baby strapped on you because you’ll never be able to sit still….I don’t have a garden right now but used to and so enjoyed coming along on this harvesting vlog…thanks, Becky you’re the best!
I garden for the same reasons Becky. 😊 I think alot of us do. And I grew everything in my garden from seed. There is something about it that just makes you so proud of yourself and what you created. 😁🌻 I don't think I'll ever stop growing things. Great harvest!
I don't have a jealous bone in my body but boy, this streak in me lying so deep and dormant all my 73 years, came to the fore when I saw your jalapeno harvest. I was laughing and shouting "yes" as you found more and more. I tried to grow them when I lived in London, England but not successful. Now I live a mere hundred miles from Scotland and the weather is always cooler up here so I have not even attempted to grow them. I just love your enthusiasm and real happiness at your harvest. Can't wait for you to tackle your next garden (baby and tiredness allowing).
Oh my goodness. You make my heart feel good spending time with you. You bring a bright ray or sunshine and joy to all of your followers. Be proud of yourself and all of your hard work. I agree with June's comment below. Great job in your garden!
A good book you may want to read is titled "Weeds, Guardians of the Soil". You learn to work with the weeds. Instead of pulling them and chancing damaging the roots of the plants you want, you could chop and drop prior to seeding out. It as fertility to the soil. Or add them to a compost pile. Many have deep tap root and drawl up minerals and nutrients the other plants need.
Becky I always look for your videos and get excited to watch them lol 😆 😂 I love seeing your cute expressions and reactions to the littlest of things it makes me smile your so cute and a bundle of energy being pregnant like you forget your pregnant and go go go and lift all those things when you was moving and harvesting ..hugs to you .your harvest was great you never fail because your always trying no one fails !!!! My mom and dad was a great gardener they had huge garden every year my mom canned everything. I never had store bought jelly until i was 29 years old because my mom gave it to me until I moved to another state I missed all her canned vegetables..now there both deceased I miss them. Take care happy weekend 😊 😘
I love how you always include US...your followers and use the terms friends, together, we did this together...It makes me truly feel included and that you are speaking from a genuine place of YOU. THANKYOU ❤️
Was getting ready to hit one of my favorite farmers markets and thought, let me check my phone and look what popped up! Love seeing you so happy in your beautiful garden. I don’t get to hop on as much (getting ready to send my daughter off to college) so I’ve been super busy and have missed seeing your garden and your “girls “. Thank you for putting a smile on my face and a tingle in my heart 😉. Now off to support my local farmers!
41:48 haha Becky you always make me smile with your enthusiasm ❤️ This was a perfect “thumbnail” face btw 😲👀
Absolutely enjoyed watch you harvest. You’re like a kid in a candy store😀 can’t believe brow bountiful the harvest was. Nice job!
I love it when Becky says that's OK, what an amazing young lady ALOHA
