TIP: Back in the winter I scored seven large terracotta pots from a local estate auction for $2 total! Estate auctions and sales are a great source for really nice planters and pots. ♥️
I was going to say the same thing... estate & garage sales & even fb marketplace is where I've found all my terra cotta & cement pots & bird baths.
My parents were children of the depression. They could grow anything and we had a huge garden every year. They planted flowers to keep the bugs off the vegetables. So…according to what I was taught as a child, you NEED flowers in the garden. 😀
You should plant marigolds amongst your vegetables, tomatoes etc as they help with preventing pests such as aphids , plus they look good 😊
cosmos, zinnia, basil n sage do well too
Ooh...I planted a bunch of marigolds around the garden. I hope it works to keep the pests away.
Colours in nature never clashes
This! I just bought two flats of marigolds for $5 each on clearance at Lowe’s.
The smaller flowered French marigolds are better pest repellents than the larger flowered African marigold varieties. Pollinators love marigolds as well.
When I read the other comments on Becky's videos, I realize that we all feel the same way! Becky, your videos bring so much peace and happiness to our days. We are so grateful for you!
I agree with this!
My grandpa told me you pick out the biggest potatoes and use those for planting because they have the genetics for making big potatoes. I have been buying the extra large ones since we bought our home 6 years ago and we have been getting some very nice, big potatoes.
Hmmm…..that actually makes a lot of sense…
@ Sarah Matthews: do you cut up the large potatoe or plant it whole?
When planting ornamental, I try to go by the rule of you want spillers (vines that go down), fillers (beautiful flowers and such) and thrillers (spikes or something that goes high) to go from the front to the back in planters. Happy gardening. It’s been a beyond cold spring in Minnesota (15 degrees below average!)….. snowing again today and I can’t wait to get planting. Living vicariously through you!!!
Loved going shopping with you! Just to let you know I’m 79 years old and I’ve learned a lot from you.
I can totally relate when you talked about being SO BORED in the nurseries. I grew up with my parents owning an antique mall so every family vacation was a buying trip. We would spend hours inside flea markets and antique malls and I would be so bored, but now, at 32, I find myself longing to go wander around those same haunts I once despised. ❤️
You should definitely have all the pretty things! Your home and yard are your workplace now, make it lovely and attract all the pollinators for your edible garden too!
"SQUIRREL. " LOL, Becky. I'm loving it that you can laugh about it! But seriously...those impatients are shade plants. I usually get 2 1/2 six-packs to make a hanging basket...talk about impact! And also I highly recommend caladium bulbs for an astonishing display of color in a shaded area. And the great thing about pots or hanging baskets is that you can move them to shaded areas as the spring light moves to hot summer and fall.
I'm dealing with bladder cancer as of the beginning of February (that's when I found out). Your videos "take me away" for a bit. I'm 70 years old and an epileptic as well. Your videos have taught me a lot. Just wish I had the strength and energy to get something started in pots. Living in South Texas, it gets hot here quick. I really enjoy everything you do. Keep it up and God bless!
A double pot might do the trick just like you do for houseplants. This time though you don't make the inner pot fit nice and snug; you keep a good space between the two. Air is a good insulator so it'll help mitigate temps.
Ur on my prayer list girl. Nobody ever gets off
Keep growing! God will bless you all the more for the beauty you bring to His world. Not just your plants, but beautiful you! May God bless you with such joy and peace, dear heart! Always in our prayers, now that we know you.
Love,
Jeff and Beth
We released ladybugs each year with my kids. It was so much fun! Releasing them in the evening after you saturate your garden ensures they hang out with you for a couple hours and they're fun to watch--especially if you have aphids. 🐞
Go to estate sales for big beautiful pottery at a fraction of the cost
Becky you are such a breath of fresh air for me! I wish you were closer to me because I would love to just hang out! LOL. My granddaughter lives in Tacoma but doesn’t have the same passion as you do about gardens, cooking etc. I LOVE doing the things you do and it is just such a joy to be able to watch you. It makes me so look forward to your videos. Thank you for showing your life so ppl like me can feel included! ❤️❤️❤️
Totally agree!!! 🤗🤗🌻🌼🌸
I was just saying something similar, it'd be nice to just hang out with people like Becky and herself. I see so many people passionate about this but never ever ever meet anyone passionate irl. :( would love a meet up group in wa where we can all gab thrift plant shop and garden!!
Black pots in Oregon are excellent for hot loving plants...Peppers and Tomatoes...all my pots are black and the work beautifully.
Just discovered your channel and I'm so happy I did - love love love it !!!. I even got my husband hooked - we both enjoy watching your cooking and your gardening - we've been binge watching 😂😀.
Wow Thank you! Welcome!! I’m glad you are enjoying it :)
I always went for the dark purple and red flowers. But a nursery owner told me one time that pastels show up so much better against the landscape. He said when you drive down the road and look at yards, check out the colors that stand out to you, and he was correct; the pale yellows, the whites, and the pinks and lavender all show up much better from the road or even when you’re inside your house looking out at your garden through a window.
I’m surprised you are able to pull leaves off the plants. Our nurseries have signs all over about not picking plants. Smelling the entire plant up close it usually good enough. The little petunias are called million bells or calibrachoa!
You could use a bottle brush to clean the hummingbird feeder😊
I realized I messed up my budget pretty badly last night, trying not to let it get me down cuz everyone makes mistakes but was still feeling a little bleh today. Watching this lifted my spirits :) thanks for uploading today
I always consider what I would pay for the veggie in a store when buying starts. The carrot starts are $4.99 for six which is the same as buying six carrots for this price at a grocery store. Those are some expensive carrots.
Especially considering how cheap a packet of seeds are and how simple it is to a lot of things (like carrots) from seeds. It's pretty ridiculous they sell carrots, beets, and radishes as starts.
The smaller purple flowers that you said you think are mini petunias are called million bells! They bush out like crazy, require zero deadheading and are fantastic for filling pots up! They go in my front pots every year and cascade down the front 💐 loved this haul! 🥰
Hi Becky--just wanted to tell you: I started a Butcher Box account and got my first order last week. I will continue my account if only for their ITALIAN SAUSAGE!!! I made the absolute best meatloaf ever (according to my husband) using the sweet italian sausage and ground beef in my Instant Pot. Thank you for the recommendation! Love your channel and your amazing cooking and homesteading skills!!!
I planted flowers with my grandchildren last weekend. Wasn't even thinking about flowers until you said plant something beautiful in the garden as well. Thank you!!!!!
You freaking blow my mind with new knowledge every video I watch. Something SO simple as “black pots will get hotter” seems like common sense, yet that has NEVER crossed my mind. I can’t wait to plant my seedlings outside. My peppers are about 1.5 inches tall with just lights, my tomatoes about 4 inches. My first year growing from seeds because of you! Bless you 👍👍
Becky I am so glad I found you! I have learned more about growing my own food from you!!! My husband and I are starting small to see if we can do this. As food prices are climbing, it would be nice to take some strain off the budget by growing our own food plus we know what went into it to grow it! God Bless you and your family!
Wow i could feel your excitement buying all the plants & pots for your garden! 😃 Hi,i’m new,so far just watched your new chicken enclosure,a grocery shop you did & about the pantry challenge so lots of catching up to do! 😄 I’m living in Greece atm & i think that pot is perfect for the olive tree! 👍😀 I would love one day to have a garden as big as yours! 🤞😁 I’ve grown some veggies in pots on my balcony here,with mixed success lol 😂 but with the very hot summers,the watering is all-time-consuming so just sticking to yuccas,scheffleras & green plants this year,although you have made me want to grab a pot,buy a pepper & get some pepper plants going 😁 Sorry,long first comment 🤭😂 I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos! Have a nice day! (i’ll be getting my head down soon here 🥱😴 it’s 9.30pm😄)
Love that white pot for that cute baby olive tree as well. I thought olive trees liked a warmer client than where she lives guess I need to investigate that as well :)
They are not only to beautify your garden but they are to attract Bees to pollinate your plants n to give grt harvests....❤
I always grow my beets in cells/pots and they transplant easily. Never had any problems. I don't do that with parsnips or carrots - they get sown direct - sow the radishes along the same rows so that they mark the line as they grow faster and offer protection to the slower starting roots. :) Love your choice of French marigolds - I have similar just in the seedling stage at the moment. I'll be growing them in the greenhouse to keep the aphids away. I also have to sniff the herbs! Happy, happy video! Cheers! xx
You could clean the hummingbird feeder with a baby bottle brush.
Last year was our second season with our lavender. It attracted so many bees that I have decider to have some out back near my veggie garden to help with pollination.💕
Flowers are such a good idea not only because they're pretty, but any encouragement for pollinators is good for the veges and fruit too 😊
As someone who has had a functional garden for years, this year I am adding some beauty! I too, want to make it some place I want to hang out and not just work. Flowers are a necessity!!
The flowers in the garden will help attract the bees for pollination for your vegetable s. To maximize the potatoes that have multiple eyes, you can cut them and then let them cure for at least two days. This will help prevent bugs being attracted to them once planted.
Hi Becky. I love watching your channel, you're cheery attitude & enthusiasm are infectious. I like how you're willing to try new things & ask viewers advice. This was a great video, I enjoyed "shopping" with you, it made me want to get my own cart. Lol. 😁. You're really blessed to have inherited those fruit trees & benefit from such a wonderful harvest. I hope your chicken is okay & the other girls quit picking on her. ❤🌷🐿🐔🌸🍎
okay so first off, I was named "squirrel!" by one of my favorite surgeons. He was previously given the same nickname and just passed it on to me😊 . Secondly, Fiddle leaf fig plants are notoriously hard to keep alive and third, I think Ive shopped at that nursery or at least one that looks the exact same.
Becky you're picking the wrong house plants 😂 fiddle leaf figs are literally the hardest to keep alive! Pothos, monstera, spider/airplane plant, snake plant, and zz plant are sooo easy to take care of! And don't let anyone tell you succulents are easiest. I've killed every succulent I ever bought 😅
I'm so emotionally invested in your garden that when it snowed in the Portland area on 4/11 my first thought was "Becky's garden!😱"
I've been watching a lot.... A LOT of youtube video's about making our own cement garden pots. Clever ideas for patterns on the sides too... depending on what you laid the cement over to harden.
If you want a hummingbird feeder get it from a bird store at the garden center you are buying beauty. At the bird store they sell what is good for the birds. I shop wild birds unlimited. I think they have stores in Portland.
Veggies and such feed the body but flowers and other beautiful things feed the soul and that is just as important!!! Can't wait to see your garden this year!
fun fact! purple and yellow are complementary colors not purple and orange. Orange is complementary to blue :)
I am so jealous! Every year, for the past 7 years, my husband gives me $500 for Mother’s Day and I go crazy buying flowers! I always overspend but the compliments I get are very gratifying. I do mostly container gardening. I also do a flower tower using terracotta pots with impatiens and blue lobelia. I got the idea from Pinterest years ago. I cannot wait! 🌼🌺🪴🌾🌻
Make your own hypertufa pots. Easy to do and lightweight. Excellent for outdoor use as well. There are a lot of RUclips videos showing how to do it.
Yea I’m just south of Portland and last year had a lot of aphids attacking my tomato plants. I bought 2 packs of ladybugs and they took care of them and all summer long I got to see the ladybugs all over my garden. It was nice to see them around almost into fall. Can’t wait to see if they will be around now. Also can’t wait to go plant shopping. I’ve been holding off since the weather has been crazy.
Becky where do you get all this Energy from., your Mother & Mother-in-law are full of Energy I so love it. That’s good to know because us Seniors was starting a garden so we need seeds and not starter plants I do not know about that for us Seniors 4-13-22👍🏽👍🏽♥️♥️
Hi Becky! Just wanted to say thank you! I was having a terribly emotional day and you made my day so much better. Thank you for you sparkling personality and the joy you bring to others ♥️
I hope you are feeling better soon. Glad I can help in anyway
Becky make sure you get a hummingbird feeder with an ant moat. They really work to reduce the ants in your feeder and yes get one that cleans easily.
I love hearing all the memories with your parents around all the plants. That’s really cool
Cracking up at you correcting the pot price 😂🤣😂🤣
Can’t wait to see all the beautiful plant’s and flowers when they come up. Going to look so pretty in the garden.
I really love how you just brighten up my day. With all that is going on in the world today I really look forward to your smiling face. 😃
I second this!
Does anyone else look forward to her videos as much as I do? She is so stinking cute!!
FYI, Fred Meyer has Ranunculus Corms. I just bought some a couple of weeks ago and started them. They are growing fantastic (in my warm greenhouse), and are ready to up pot. Hopefully they will be great for succession planting. Plus, the bag of corms has at LEAST 20 in it for the price of 1 or 2 plants.
Just plant lots of salvias and agastache and you won't need to clean any hummingbird feeders. Easy and better for the hummingbirds, too!
I went to our local milling company (feed store) and they had really expanded their seed section with so many people gardening. I was so excited to see things like the lemon and lime basils. I stocked up. A couple years ago I brought dried thai basil and a small basil up to pick off seeds and the next year we had volunteers. Mom was not happy but by then end of the season she agreed that they smelled good and we left them to keep coming back. I cringe at the number of voluntary marigolds that will be spread out across my property this year.
Lemon basil's the best :)
I work at Home Depot and if you put a long slender grass plant in center of the pot it will look stunning with the others.
I love shopping with you- Love the freezer meals and what you eat in a week! I'm so glad you are doing containers and flowers with veggies- looking forward to seeing how all comes together. Thank you- Ps hopefully the instructor sees how 100's of thousands of people do not think you are too distracted- Your a great teacher!!
We don't have a feeder but hummingbirds just naturally come to our yard. Planting what they like to eat is an easier way to enjoy them..
When I raised Monarch butterflies, I had to grow milkweed. The aphids were so hard to get rid of . Lady bugs helped every year. And they are fun to have around.
You are my morning dose of sunshine! Thank you!
Hey, I recognize that parking lot, lol. Yes, we need flowers. Buckling in for a good video. Hope you and your plants are doing well. :)
Is that yard n garden land?
@@gladys20121 Shorty's on Mill Plain
Ah! Hey neighbors! 👋☺️
@@Beepbopboop19 Yay, hey neighbor!
I wish Becky would have a meetup or we could organize something for our locals to meet and do a plant swap or something.
@@kasea2580 that would be cool, maybe one day! 🌿🌱🌱
We’ve done lady bugs once. They don’t stay for very long, I probably noticed them for about a week and our package probably had about five packs worth what you showed. We support our garden and a community garden since we live in a low income community. We now have two bee boxes and they work amazing. We’ve had them about two weeks now and will support the community at about 5 mile radius. Bees are not my friends, but as long as you’re calm near bees they stay calm. My brother tends to the bees for now.
Edit to add: my niece (5) was so excited to release the lady bugs. But there was more than she expected. So when the bag opened and the lady bugs swarmed out and she panicked. I was laughing so hard I couldn’t even help to calm her. It kills me even thinking about it. Lol
Oh my Becky!!!! When you talked about your parents going to greenhouses when you were young and being bored and now you feel like a kid in a candy store. My parents did the same and I was bored and now I LOVE IT! It's too cold yet where I live here in Canada, but I see garden centre's getting set up. Thank you for taking us along with you! I thoroughly enjoyed it 💖
All the lovely colors of annuals you bought are sure to make you smile as they bloom! Susan
That white pot is perfect for the olive tree! 😍. Looks like a fun way to spend your day! 🥰 Also - the little white flowers are called sweet alyssum and I’m pretty sure they’re edible and in the cucumber family…but I know for sure that’s what they’re called. 😉
I started alyssum seeds this spring and only one came up. Looks like I will be heading to the garden center. :) I love white flowers.
Once they're established, alyssum will spread all over, where I live - warm to hot (110°F, windy high desert, California.) If you water a shaded lawn here, with a border planting of alyssum, you will soon have an alyssum lawn! Make sure you keep it watered, well-fed, and happy where it is, and pull up the strays. So pretty, though!
We all -family and friends - love you, Becky, and pray that God will bless you abundantly. You can have no idea the light you bring to others' lives!
❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤
Beth
Flowers are not only for beauty but some can also help with pest and attract bees to your garden for a better yield.
I’ve been adding native and medicinal flowers to my gardens this year. Love them!!
Hello Becky thank you for sharing your vlog much appreciated by us all xxxx
You are most welcome
OMG Becky!!! I ❤ you so much!!! When I need some company, or just want someone's opinion on something, you're always there... I also get to have a real giggle while watching sometimes.. I love your humor, and appreciate the way you explain everything so well. You're down to 🌎, and feel like a real friend! Keep up the good work! Marigolds are a great idea! Coleus is also something that can compliment your pretty flowers!!!! Happy growing!!!
If you feel the marigolds to your chickens the yolks will be super golden.
Love walking together through the garden centres! I'm like a kid in the candy store, too :)
The little white flowers are alyssum. I plant alyssum every year because they're delicate, lovely and cover ground so well. I love anything pretty that helps with the weeding
For the potatoes you can use any large container and start the potatoes low, and add dirt when you start to see the greens pop through, don't need to buy a spendy container for them....we've even used extra 5 gallon buckets, and stock tanks!
Pot price oh price of pots … that would be another video h a ha ha I laughed my head off. Fab vid Becky (as usual) I can’t plant much this year as we are moving, but so looking forward to setting up my new garden next year. You are giving me great inspiration. Keep up the good work. Ps. Love love love the chicken run and it’s so good to see Josh. We need to see more of him he is a sweetheart xx
My granddaughter's nickname has been Squirrel for her entire life (she's 15). Her full nickname is Squirrel E. Bird. She's just used to it, so it doesn't bother her. I call her Punkin or Chickopee. (Poor girl! So many nicknames!) Her real name is Ameila. Imagine that!
I adore watching you! You remind me of myself in my younger years… it is so much fun to be able to share in your journey of cooking, shopping, and gardening! Thank you so much! You are amazing!! Btw the olive pot is perfect!
Those ‘smaller petunia’s’ are million bells ( calibrachoa)….you are going to love them. They are prolific bloomers…..make sure they are in full sun to get the most blooms…the little white flowers look like alyssums. Love watching your vids 👍🙂
I completely agree that growing starts vs growing from seed require different skill sets. Im not really good at growing from seed.
I love houseplants and am pretty good at giving them what's needed to thrive.... I have a grow tent full of to rare and tropical plants (probably around 150 plants) and I can keep all of them alive... But I managed to stunt this year's seeds...
FYI
"Grocery Outlet" usually have large terracotta pots for $35- $50 each.
Also try "Tuesday Morning" in Hazel Dell they usually have a wide variety of garden goodies this time of year at fantastic prices.
It's so much fun hanging out with you, Becky! It's fun to see you shop and look for plants. It's fun to see your thought processes as you make decisions. You're a dear and have the biggest heart. It would be neat having you for a friend. Thanks for sharing, Becky! Happy Easter!!! Be blessed!
Girlie, I just love ya!!!! Today was a very lonesome one for me. Not enough work or friends for too long a time. But then I tuned into you! Your ability to spread your gardening excitement with me has planted a seed of happiness in my heart. Thanks much, and please...keep on keeping on🥰
I love those strawberry blonde marigolds! I also grew the white ones last year and now I want to search for more unique ones too. I have been so tempted to plant out my seedlings and flowers but it’s so hard to figure out April weather here, so strange we got snow in mid April!!
bottle brush for the cleaning of the humingbird food holder. You really gotta keep it full though cause the hummingbirds really count on having it there for them. Since I'm retired, I think I'll do that this year. We have a couple holders.
Becky, it just makes my day when I see you've posted a new video. You had me pulling up Lowe's and Home Depot sale ads for my area. I'm glad I did because potting soil will be on sale starting tomorrow and I need more. I live in an apt so pots are the only thing I'm able to grow anything in at this time. I love all of the beautiful flowers you got. Purple and orange are my favorites too. I can't wait to see how they look in your garden. Have a great day!
We use a baby bottle brush for jars with small mouths.
Yes those creeping Jenny will be a perennial for you, and they are so easy to propagate, so the one of two small plants will create just about as much as you want over the years
In my area they must be kept in pots. Once they hit the ground they will root in and spread like mad!
Yes, that is true here also, I read they are a nuisance for a lot of ppl, and I can see that, but if you keep your eye on them it's hard not to like them ❣️
Becky buy glass hummingbird feeder - you can put it into the dishwasher
Living vicariously through you right now haha. Currently finishing my last uni assignment and can't wait to get into gardening once I'm all finished. Although here in the UK my last expected frost isn't until last week of April!
Thank you for uploading and keep doing what you're doing :D It's great!
I love adding flowers to my garden, especially to bring in the pollinators for all my veggies. Merigold, Sunflowers, Zinnia, Geraniums, Nasturtiums (first time this year), and more! So excited for the garden this year! Zone 7b, North Georgia 🥕🍅🌷👩🌾
Great plants. Impatients are prone to slugs so be ware! Alyssum plants are fragrant and flowers are edible(sweet peppery), it looks like the lavander you got are white ones. Can't wait to see them planted! You can take cuttings and propagate Creeping jenny, and petunias and grow your own for the next year! Good luck!
My grandmother always said we a Easter weather sure surprise of whether change
Hi Becky, you're at my favorite nursery since it's so near my house. However I never buy pots there, way too expensive. A great place to get pots is at Ross or big box stores like you mentioned. Glad you got the olive tree, I did it two years ago and it's doing great, winter hardy here:)
While you were looking at the hummingbird feeders, I thought, I have three of those never used because I dont have time to keep them full. I didnt even think about having to clean them! People have lovingly bought them for me because I have fond memories of my grandparents feeding hummingbirds and watching the different birds "fight" over who got to drink first.
I grew the strawberry blonde marigolds for the first time last year. They are so cool. They start dark red and the flowers age through a peachy color to yellow. Also they are tend to be more red in cool weather. They are well named.
Oh when I heard you say you liked to lay out in your yard I thought oh goodness she needs a hammock. I'm on my third one because they don't last forever but it's my favorite place to "hangout" almost anytime of the year. Even when it's cool if it's nice out i'll tote a blanket outside for a nap or bit of reading. The fresh air warm or cool is good for the soul! Mine is on a stand so I don't have to worry about having the perfect trees to hang it from and I can drag it around where I fancy!
Love you videos. You inspire me to grow a better garden. Thank you!!
You are so right!!! Beautiful places make you want to work in them. I love love love flowers.
Oh Becky, please don’t let your experience with Fiddle Leaf determine your ability to grow indoor plants! I kill those guys too but I have over 50 other plants that do extremely well! Fiddle leaf and Maiden Hair ferns live just long enough for me to think they might make it and then they take a turn for the worse. Oh yeah orchids too. I cannot imagine life indoors especially living in the PNW without plants! Thank you for your videos!
I live in southern Illinois. I'm shocked at how expensive flowers are in your area. We have beautiful Amish greenhouses with great prices. I bought a flat of plants for $23 yesterday.
Lavender plants are my favourite! I make lavender cookies and dried lavender in a wardrobe perfumes all the clothes
Great choice with the allysum Becky. I plant it every year to attract the beneficial insects that eat aphids. They smell great too! I just sow the seeds directly where I want them. They will reseed too, I have to pull a bunch every year because they grow crazy lol. Easy to pull though ☺️.
The creeping Jenny’s will root in wherever they touch soil. You can break it off once there are roots and have more plants!! A plant that’s always giving
