I'm at the vet with my dog and it's not good news 😢. I really needed a dose of Becky today to cheer me up. Thank you for always being so positive and uplifting!
Update: Thank you to everyone for all of the prayers. It wasn't cancer thank God! It ended up being a benign mammary tumor, but she was diagnosed with diabetes. She's doing much better. I'm just glad that we got this all figured out.
Oh no! I'll be praying for your puppy!
I hope your dog gets better and Yess, becky's video's always cheer me up to ❤
God bless you Latoya and your precious fur baby I'm so sorry 😔💐,love is the key, always 💞
Praying for your fur baby.
@Acre Homestead, thank you so much!
I’m From England and never ever grown a thing. But I love love love this channel. It calms me and even when ur in the kitchen I am mesmerised by ur energy.
Hi from Ireland. Oh you should try something really easy if it's only chives/scallion and you might seriously catch the bug! Charles dowding and huw richards are brilliant, they're in England/Wales
I’d like this channel more if I didn’t feel like I’m rushing to keep up with Becky! 😅
I'm curious...is it because you don't have any land or because you don't know how? Both can have solutions but only if we know why. 🙂
Becky is like medatation very inspiring, motivational and calming,..
I'm from South Africa and am 65 years old, in a teensy home with no garden...but I adore sweet Becky!
Funny story about fodder.... when our youngest was in kindergarten (he's 14 now so it's been a minute) we grew wheat fodder for our chickens in our garage. Apparently this was a fun fact that dear son wanted to share with his class, including info on grow lights and humidity. Unfortunately his pronunciation of wheat was lacking...
Bless his teacher's heart for having to have an awkward conversation with me at the end of that day. I assured her it is in fact WHEAT not WEED that we are growing. We definitely worked on enunciation after that. 😅
OMG!! This is absolutely HILARIOUS. 😂😂😂 Thank you for my morning laugh. 😂
When placing your chickens under trees you should put wire over the top. The trees allow predators to drop down into the run and kill the chickens. Hawks and Falcons will perch and drop, Raccoons and Opossum will climb down branches.
Yes! I lost an entire flock to raccoons in 3 hrs one night!
@@catalina8677 So sorry to hear that! Unfortunately you are among many people who think their chickens are safe because the walls are strong but everything wants to eat our chickens and they will find a way if not protected on all sides and both top & bottom as well.
Due to work constraints I didn’t get to building my raised bed, or starting my own seeds, BUT I have 4 peppers, 2 chilies, 2 cocktail tomatoes in pots and tomorrow the 6 San Marzano will be potted. Next year I hope to get to my raised beds and start my own seeds, but better this, than nothing 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve just had our 9 month grand daughter for the weekend. It’s thanks to you, even though I’m so tired, I have dinner put together in minutes. Lunch and breakfast all done for the week. Even though we are heading into winter (I’m in NZ) you inspire me to meal prep, preserve and grow more veges. My future self is always so grateful 💚
Good job Josh and Becky, the chickens will appreciate all your efforts.
Becky chickens CAN an Do Fly . I had chickens some years ago and they Flew from my front yard across the street to my neighbors back yard that had a 9 foot fence into their backyard 60 yards away! I agree with you on the trimming bird’s feathers there’s nothing wrong with trimming their feathers. I although I never did my chickens but I did do my cockatiels and parakeetss . The breeder told me you only trim one wing that way he can’t fly
Maybe only kind of lopsided drunk.😆😆
Have a great week !🌱🌱🌱🌱
Those girls did not want to be caged up after so many months of free range. I love hearing them talk to you while you are with them.
I actually purchased my coop from Carolina Coops. I love it. If I could’ve built it myself I would’ve designed the same way they did. It’s been 5 years and the girls also love it. Also be careful with leaving the feed outside a protected area - it’ll attract rodents for sure. Great job on putting up that semi permanent fence! No more poopie patio is a plus!
I loved to hear how one of your favorite thing is working on project with your husband. Same for my husband and me. There was a learning curve too but it makes everything better. Our friends are surprised that we even do grocery shopping together. But building, renovating around the house together is our favorite thing too!
Same with my husband and I! We do basically everything together and love spending as much time together as possible most days. Been together 12 years, married for 5 of those tomorrow.
@@Megan9689 34 years together and 29 married ;-)
When we were kids we just cut up potatoes from our root cellar and planted those chunks (each chunk had an eye). It always worked well
I honestly thought this was the only way lol
This is how I've always done it. Choose potatoes that are just beginning to sprout and cut into chunks, 1 to 2 eyes per chunk. Let sit out in an open cardboard box so they can breathe in a darkened room or closet. Stir them around every day so cut edges are exposed as possible. They need to form a dryish skin on the cut edges. Then plant. My grandparents and parents taught me, they grew potatoes like this every year and so have i.
@@treasurespastnpresen thank you for sharing how you do it
Agree, this is how my farmer Grandpa always did it. He and Grandma planted around 5 acres of garden every year at least. At least acre and a half of corn, mostly for winter feed for his cattle but also some for the freezer. Grandma snuck in her pumpkin and long growing gourd plants in this field. Then there was the master field that was another two plus acres where the bulk of the plants went. The last field was at least half an acre close to the house where Grandma planted her tomatoes, cantaloupes, onions and potatoes as well as certain random plants that were her favorites. They raised seven kids through the Great Depression, WWII, dust bowl and other such hard times by raising their own livestock and canning their gardens and curing and canning the meat. I am so tickled to see so many rediscovering the homesteading ways I grew up hearing about, learning and doing with my grandparents and parents. Most of their children's families also benefited from the amazing food and canning they did every year. Really miss those times since they passed back in 1999 and 1998.
Yep the same.I think SOME of these growers make things to complicated. Lol I watch a lot of Asian growers. And they fertilize, plant and water ( occasionally weed) and walk away. They let nature do the rest.And a lot of them have FEILDS of food and no way to water everything.
Becky, it's always good to see you, and Josh working together on projects. Nice job on the chicken run!
I am always amazed at how much you get done with a baby. It really seems like you don’t have a baby at all with the way you make your videos. You inspire me as a fellow new mom!
Yes, I always wonder where the baby is.
You're very first mother's Day is coming as a mother I hope it is a very special day for you and Father's Day is not too far away😊
Girl, i planted a few marigolds in my raised bed a few months back (Zone 9A), i now have marigolds growing wild all over my garden. I I didn't know that they spread so prevalent..I'm loving it!!!❤❤❤
Yes, please, do a video on the starts and Seed sown directly in the ground.
Becky I just love all the videos you post, they are so informative.. then again you could post a 30 minute video of walking through the mud and I would still be watching 😊❤
I wish I could find the video but I saw a guy feed soaked and sprouted barley to his 4 dairy cows. His set up was really cool.
We had Silkie's and we built our coup, uh let say it was a learning experience. We made the ladder to steep and the box too high, Silkie's don't fly. We had dirt, my girls kept getting sick. (we are in Florida) Figured it out, peat gravel was the best for the floor. Chickens are the best. Nothing like having a glass of wine and sit with them in the early evenings. The eggs were delish, nothing like a fresh egg!!
I like seeing your mom in your videos from time to time. Maybe she’ll let you do a small video of her in her garden
Won't predators get to your chickens easier if you put the run partially in the woods? I wish I could have chickens. It is fun to watch your homestead come together ❤
The circle coop is genius. I think I’m gonna try that
I would LOVE a video on the topic of whats best to direct sow vs whats best to buy or grow seedlings 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼 I am teaching myself how to garden so I would love that video ❤️❤️
👏👏👏👏 JOSH THANKS FOR HELPING BECKY AROUND THE HOMESTEAD AND THE CHICKENS 🐓 APPRECIATE YOU AS WELL 👍
Yay! A upload from my favorite homestead! Have a great weekend!
The first year I had chickens they were free ranging while I started work on my garden. I went down a row dropping corn seeds. When I got to the end of the row I discovered my rooster had followed me eating each seed as I dropped it! The chickens immediately got a run where they stayed during gardening season!
I love Spring, my favorite time of the year. Wishing you the best with your new garden. Marigolds are great in the garden, they repel many insects. Companion planting really works.
Always greatfull for my man! Is so sweet when you share that too ❤ gGod bless y'all!
It is so wonderful to move forward.
Good Evening Becky lovely to see you in the garden I have my potatoes 🥔 sat onions and cabbage
If you have ever watched The Hollar Homestead they put a compost pile inside their chicken run. It attracts bugs for them, gives them something, to do, and they will eat out of it, and poop in it. All your wood shavings could be easily broken down and eventually become food for your garden. You can also grow them a row of sunflowers around their coop so it's pretty.
Becky you can build grazing boxes for your chickens for fresh greens
Yes Becky, that would be so helpful to have a video dedicated to what to direct sow and what is better to plant directly! I struggle with this
@tammyr @ acrehomestead
👍Yes, I agree - that would be helpful 😃
It is a regional thing, so a one size fits all rec is not worth anything. You just need to look up the length of your growing season where you live and every seed packet tells you the grow time. My daughter in Florida can plant anything by seed. My daughter in Northern Wisconsin can plant fewer things from seed than I can in Southern Illinois.
So exciting great times ahead! Congratulations Becky this is a big step forward!!!!!
The chickens are so amazing. Thank you for sharing 🤗
Great job, just love your videos so much. Really made my day!
So sorry 😒 to hear that. We lost our little dog a couple of weeks ago. So understand what you are going through. Prayers for your puppy and you/family.
Great team work!
Becky, I bought the large freeze dryer from your link. I added the mats. Can’t wait to get started!
Awesome and fun, real and informative video. It is fun to see you plant shopping with a vengeance . Wow, are cold weather crops are bolting now in Manteca Ca. Our seed-started Zucchini and Tomato plants are growing strong though we are fighting a Gopher, snail and slug war. I only use organic methods of control though I had to drown some Gophers ( sadly) so my garden will grow as they easily took out a fruitful Zucchini plant by severing the main stem !!! It is now war. You are one of my well-rounded and favorite homesteaders.... Awesome job !, you have so many admirable and useful skills.
Becky, I LOVE your videos for so many reasons ❤❤❤❤
One objection is the ads every 4-5 minutes. It's a bit annoying to have to skip them so many times in one video. I don't know if they are under your control, but if so.... please consider putting in less.
Will continue to watch either way. Thank you for sharing so much love ❤
I have been doing sprouts for mine. I am also looking at a cover crop under a raised wire area that they can eat the green but it can continue to grow because they can’t get to the roots.
thanks for the response
Becky we moved from Idaho to South Carolina, the climate is so much more mild. But the Pacific Northwest has a lot of character/ charm , hang in there, the summers are worth it ❤️
I am 64, and I have never seen a red marigold in my life. So glad I saw this! I have grown the orange and yellow ones for decades.
💚 Fun to work on a project with Josh on a beautiful day. I was/am also going to mention Ben Hollar of Hollar Homestead, who makes a circular wire compost set up inside his stationary coop. Keeps those chickens busy working on and eating scraps while getting compost started. 💚
Fodder is very easy to do! We live on a farm and have some wheat available to do it! They love it and it grows quickly. I haven’t tried oats yet.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for explaining what determinate and indeterminate meant and how to remember what they mean. This makes so much sense to me now
keep up the good work. always a fun video to watch
I was going to watch you be productive this morning, then I decided to save your video until my greenhouse was planted! So happy about my decision! Thank you for sharing about all that you do. 😁😁
I agree with you regarding blue mashed potatoes but I always plant a few blue potatoes (on the inside) and some pink (on the inside). They make a delightful blue and pink potato salad for special occasions.
Josh is so helpful! What a blessing 😊
I like the tool you are using for the hooks, I need to find me one of those I use plyers. That’s great.
Becky! Oh my gosh. I feel the same way and my goal is to start all my own veggies as well. And I have for many, however I couldn't get my cauliflower to take either! you are correct - from seed you get many amazing varieties. Hope you and I can master that someday! Ive been doing this for 8 years and only started my own indoor sowing during covid. just go grow lights and a dedicated growing shelf this year. all my tomatoes are wanted to be planted bu I am zone 6a so they must wait a few more weeks
With so many raised garden beds going in, you should take inspiration from Justin Rhodes and build chicken coops that fit over the top. Then, the chickens help clean them up every season and you get the free fertilizer.
I hope you video the clipping of their wings because I need to learn that from you. Those red marigolds are beautiful and I didn’t know about them. Thanks for sharing your time and for teaching while doing so. ❤ I’ve learned lots from you.
so fun, thanx for sharing and have a great day
I would love you doing a video about what you should get starts for vs direct sowing. It would also be helpful to add when you would suggest starting seeds and transplanting. Would be an amazing starting point for us ❤
When the time comes to move the hens into their new coop and run I want to recommend you keep the current coop. We use our old smaller coop as a ‘maternity ward’…that’s how we add to our flock. We have no rooster so when a hen goes broody we purchase day old pullets and put under her after dark. We let her sit on some eggs for 3 weeks then do the switch with baby chicks after dark. The next morning she wakes and thinks her eggs hatched. We move the broody hen in the last week of her sitting to the maternity ward then once we do the switch of eggs to chicks she raises them there until they are a bit bigger then let her ‘introduce’ them to the others. It’s worked perfectly for us.
😂
That's brilliant we started building an enclosed run last week and suddenly 6 of our hens went into brooding mode and are sitting on dozens of eggs hopefully we get hens this hatch the last 3 have turned out to be roosters, we have roosters but we buy hen chicks in summer so they can be outside
That's a sweet way to do it. When mine gets broody, I just put her in a pet crate with food and water for 2-3 days, and then she is fine, much easier.
@@amy4484 Unless You want chicks!
Yes, please do a video on direct sowing vs starter. I'm new to gardening and have no idea what i'm doing.
Thanks for sharing.
Laura from Garden Answer just video how to make fodder for her chickens.
I actually bought red marigolds today. They are beautiful. They are great for pest control too!
Happy chickens and Happy family. 🕊️🌱⛰️🌿🙏🙌😇
I would love a video of details of what to plant when. When to buy seeds etc. I just bought my first electric canner and am slowly buying items needed for canning season. I am watching and learning from your videos
So cute watching how excited you get doing things for your girls. I love your enthusiasm about anything that you do. Good job.
You're right in saying that it'll take time to grow everything from seed, but upu WILL get there. I've been doing that for the past 3 years, (except for my flowers) and it is so satisfying. I really enjoy all the varieties that are available. available.
I found a new favorite annual. Vinca, Pacifica. Not the periwinkle ground cover kind. These are taller, flower all summer until frost. Come In beautiful colors. Drought Hardy.
I get it. We did mobile coop. Didn’t really work for us. So they are in a run. But I do let them out in spring and fall when garden isn’t set up yet. Sometimes in winter depending on weather. So i figure they have a good life.
Es ist sooo schön zu sehen wie liebevoll und sorgsam Ihr ,Euch um die Hühner und auch Hunde kümmert❤❤
Eine suuuuper Zwischenlösung😊😅👏👏💪👍
Die Flügel etwas zu kürzen ist das beste👍👍👍👍so sind sie sicher und Ihr könnt auch beruhigt sein....das kein Huhn abhanden kommt 😊👍🥰
Ich liebe Deine Live Videos ...mit all den hoppalas oder kleineren Pannen ...halt das richtige Leben....❤❤❤❤.. und Du (Ihr) lässt uns daran teilhaben ❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke Becky und Josh😊😊🙏🙏
Lg.Manu🙋♀️🇦🇹
Ive just seen something and i think it's something you might want to make. It's called mushroom ketchup and it's on a channel called Townsends.
I hope grabbed some cilantro! I buy flowers early and put them in my grow room, so I will have them when I’m ready for them.
We recently moved to Hawaii and now I’m learning all the new things I need to have a successful garden. I love that you discuss the good and the bad experiences to help us learn.
We have to plant everything in containers or raised beds where we are because of contamination of the soil.
Thank you for the video
I took advantage of your special pricing with Greenstalks and purchased one. I wish now that I had gotten two. Mine is the Terracotta color and I used a variety of seeds (Bush Green Beans - 3 per pocket), some herb and pepper starts that I didn't want to spread everywhere, and a few flowers from the Clearance section at my local box store. I got 2 white Alyssum and 1 of a mini white petunia, and a tray of yellow Marigolds that I planted one each on either side in an angle so they kind of wrap around. Everything has filled in so nicely! The contrast of the greens, yellows and white on the Terracotta is stunning! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for sharing
Fantastic video, thanks ❤
What I did for my chickens was have a really old red wagon. I put the fodder in the wagon. I just pulled it in and out to load the full flats of fodder, just slid right into the wagon also had an area used 2x4 s made big square for laying on ground planted seed but put wire over to where they can't scratch up and eat seeds it will start growing and the chickens love it and just move the square around there inside pen to grow grass or greens they love ❤️
You only need to clip the long flights on one wing have kept chickens for many years and this always solved the problem as it knocks them of balance. 😊
In the Philippines they use purple potatoes "Ube" to make cookies and biscuits and treats. The Chinese will make Moon cakes out of them. All these uses are surprisingly quite tasty.
It's incredible how many videos you still put out with a little one at home. You are rocking this. Request: I know videos are harder to do than reels, but I would love individual videos on planting. I'm really wanting to do strawberries, and I think I have all the stuff, but I have to search so many videos to find your knowledge, and I'm afraid I'm overwhelmed and won't get them planted. We just moved states and I finally have a patio that I can plant things. (Eventually - hopefully I'll have strawberries, green beans, maybe a small fruit bush, an herb bundle, and maybe some pest repellant) But a shorter video on just one or two particular items - from soil, feeding, transplanting, tips - especially for container/patio/small space garden ... Something that we can go back and watch multiple times (with ads on of course!), just in case we missed something. Especailly if you were to do it as mostly a voice over, to make it easier for you - and I'm sure there's many of us that just listen (on repeat) while we work. Thanks for all you do.
Create a section in the future chicken run for composting. It will naturally fill with all kinds of bugs and goodies in their diet, help keep them warm longer (and laying) into winter, is their favorite playground ever, is useful on the homestead, and is the natural way to vary their diet. Any other way is synthetic tbh. Then their waste as compost goes back into the garden. The perfect cycle!
Good job, looks good.
yes please make a whole video about what to direct sow and what to do as starts
So excited for you both on this journey!
We have always cut our potatoes in several pieces every eye will grow a plant, and it does not cost near as much to plant Potatoes.
We filled 2 garden beds (10x4x1). Hubby & I spent the majority of the day putting them together and filling them.
I just got back form my garden center yet i’m still glad to go with Becky ;)
I would love to know about which plants would be best as starts compared to seed or in ground sow. Thank you!
Thats a pretty slick tool that josh is using to wrap wire around fencing
Go dad! Dads are awesome! Mine included. 😊
time 24:31 and I'm anticipating the "what I would have done differently... chicken hopping realization... ☺☺ I enjoy your work and videos 😄
I have the same issues with purple potatoes. I like the traditional color….😊😊😊
We clip the ends off one side of the chickens wings not the boney part of the wing but their feathers and it makes them imbalanced and they can't fly over the fence. It's a old timers trick to keep your chickens in their fenced area. We also dig a trench around our coops and lay fencing down so dogs or other animals can't dig a hole to get into the coop.
I think a couple of Green Stalks on the patio with herbs and greens sounds ideal. Would it make sense to have one bed planted in the herbs you freeze dry on a large scale (like cilantro and parsley)? It seems like it would be easier to me, but I really don't know.
When baby acer is ready to run around outside. Put lattice up around your deck. It makes a great outdoor playpen in the shade. It will help keep the chickens off the porch.
Chitting is the process of getting the eyes starting to grow,haven't tried the cutting method yet, maybe later I will. I've planted some spuds, growing nicely,have to cover with soil but also read if the sprouts/eyes fall off you can plant those too so I did that and they're starting to grow aswell ! Really can't wait to see if they produce anything! You can also just lay the seed spuds on the ground and cover with grass clippings/straw for a very easy way (haven't tried it myself though)
Growing fodder is so fun! I've been meaning to start back up but haven't because the garden is keeping me so busy.
Love that you keep ur sense of humour regarding those cheeky chickens
