Becky, don’t forget to add electrical into your greenhouse so you can start your seeds with heat pads or anything else, or to put a light in there etc.
Just an idea if they are trenching for water maybe add another pipe for electrical. To the chicken coop and also the greenhouse. I say that because of watching Laura and Aaron on Garden Answer. He always adds both so if you need it, it's there. Best to tare it all up once lol. Thank you as always for sharing! Can't wait to see how it all looks!
She mentioned it in a previous video they were
Garden Answer is my jam.
I have a dry riverbed in my backyard. Love it. I do have to blow leaves out of it each year since I live in wooded area with a large creek that runs through my property.
I hope you build your beds up high enough to work in without breaking your back.
This!
This is such an exciting time! You are living the life I thought I would have! I am 62, with no regrets of the choices I have made watching your content with such pride and love for a young woman with my same name! Way to go Becky. Your Aunt Becky is your cheerleader from afar. ♥️
That’s beautiful
❤
Bless your Heart💙🙏💙🙏💙
@@Bex-rg8pj Hello dear, how are you doing today??
I'm also a Becky! LOL I enjoy her videos tremendously
I'm really glad that the landscapers were willing to be filmed while they were working. It's nice to be able to see the process, and that could have been impeded by them not being willing to be filmed.
A lot of landscaping people don’t like to be look upon! But in her case or if it was mine I’ll be doing the same thing, I’m sure this cost thousands! I’ll be out there also!!
Becky as a biologist that has studied plants, I can tell you a lot of plants prefer slopes. One example is the blueberries that you love! So maybe on the far reaching corner there where the slope is increased, you can use it to the advantage of certain plants such as blueberry. May as well put certain vegetation somewhere that it wants to be, if you’re going to be wanting some of that anyway. EDITED TO ADD: well heck as soon as I unpaused the video and continued to watch it you brought up putting blueberry bushes there!
Thanks so much for that post! Two I know can't get blueberry s to grow and very flat planting s.
Can you share more on why they prefer slopes? What's the advantage? Thanks 😊
I think all of this is wonderful! Do you ever worry about something happening to RUclips though? What if they stopped paying channels for content? I would be scared to rely on income from an app platform that could disappear at any moment.
That is a huge house! I can only imagine the electric/heating bills.
Becky I am in awe of how u r managing baby, house and kitchen. I mean wow. Ure a force if nature. I am living my dream through you and I wish one day I'll have my own house and garden. Learning alot from u now. U r so relatable and that's why ur channel has done so well in such a short period of time
Don't forget raccoons like trees too. So because of the chicken location. You will have to have a cover over you chicken area under the trees. Love the process you are making. Raised beds are so much better. The weeds are killers to pull from ground soil. I tried the ground soil garden for a few years. So much work. So I went to pot planting.
Exciting developments. Remember, you don’t HAVE to plant all 20 beds this year! You can keep some in reserve for the future!
Fast forward 2 years to baby acre throwing all the rocks out of the dry riverbed! Lol! It is beautiful and I am enjoying seeing your journey and am so excited to see your garden take shape!! You are one of the first people that made me feel like I could garden too. It is year 2 in our garden and my indoor seeds are sprouting!
Woohoo!
I just love, love, love that your chickens are running around! The dry riverbed is brilliant and I can't imagine where you get the energy and strength to do everything you do!
You mention being overwhelmed in nearly every video. Perhaps scaling things back for a family of 2.5 might be helpful. It would be nice to see a homestead channel cook, preserve etc in small, normal size batches
Good morning/afternoon Becky, Josh, Baby Acre, Orbit and Tibro ! Thank you for sharing your incredible journey with us.
Thank you so much for talking about your climate & Perennials.I live in 5b, it gets very cold here. For years I failed as a gardener because I saw videos of gardens that succeeded. It has so much to do with not only frost dates, but sun strength & general temperature of your exact plots.
I have to say, you amaze me. You do so much around your house and property and cook pretty much completely from scratch (which is a lot of work on its own) plus you have a newborn. I have 4 kids and I can’t imagine having enough time to do what all you do.
Leave more room between the road and first row of garden beds. You don't want to kneel on the gravel.
Girl, this is so much fun. Just watching all this come together is invigorating. Can not wait to see your veggies growing. Love to all.
My garden didn't do well last year, it got too hot and my watering person kept forgetting to water or he over watered. Hopefully this year will be better and I will have a more productive garden.
Wow Becky, your such a busy lady. I don't know how you do it all! Being young is for sure a blessing! The more raise beds is a good idea! What the other people said about putting the electrical in also with the water is a great idea. You'll need it for lights, etc. Then you won't have to dig it up again to put the electrical in. I'm excited to see this all done. I'm 73yrs & didn't do much gardening. Just tomatoes 🍅 cucumbers carrots 🥕 & then flowers petunias, snapdragons, violets, geraniums. Maybe a few herbs. Chives, sage, etc. It's getting harder for me to do it. But I try. You are helping me to want to do some gardening. So I'll see. I'm so glad for you to get your painting done!!! The whole backyard is going to be awesome! I think the chickens are so cute running around. Thanks for sharing it all! 😊 ♥️🫂🎉
I think you've made a wise decision Beckie. If you are to busy just plant the beds thst you can and you can increase as you feel like you can handle it. It's going to be fun watching this garden season learning with you.
Becky, I think as long as you can get your wheelbarrow on all sides and the side by side on two sides of the beds, you should be good. The garden is going to be awesome. I can’t wait to see the finished product!
you made the right choice in re-painting your home,its so much brighter now,and lovely colour,a job well done xx
You have got a great landscaping crew! This is so exciting to see things transform, thank you for taking us along!!!
I Love how the chickens hang out with the landscapers! I sure those guys are all gonna what their own backyard flock.
Becky You Are AMAZING 💜✨!!! I must have missed the Video where You Two 💕✨ bought Your Side By Side. Last I knew the Two Of You had been looking at them. I'm SO EXCITED ABOUT YOUR GARDEN!!! I can see You now with a playpen out there and a bug net over it for Little Man 💙 while Your gardening!!! Warm Summer Days!!! Don't forget to order Your Little Man 💙 a Fun Kids Pool You can also enjoy this SUMMER 🌞💕!!! After gardening it will feel AMAZING!!! I showed my 85 Year Old Momma Your Videos and told Her about You and She thinks You Are Incredible 💜 and said "we need more woman around like her". I grew up eating out of our garden and our whole family had to help harvest and freeze and can, brothers included. Keep Up The Good Work Beautiful Lady ❤🌹! Western Upstate New York here 💕
I think you're making some very smart decisions for your garden and landscape. Make everything in your garden, landscape and chicken coup, as convenient and easy as you possibly can for every situation such as weather, etc. So excited for you both to see what comes next in your journey.
So happy for you and Josh and all you are accomplishing with your new home. I keep imagining the little fella running around your yard when he has developed his walking legs, with you or Josh running behind him😊. Then you will be building swing sets and a little race track for him to ride his little 4 wheeler ❤
I just cannot imagine all the work!! But you are young and energetic!! I am older (76) and not energetic!! 😂 I just love watching you, Becky!!! ❤
I don’t know where you get the energy Becky. You have a lot on your plate! I hope you remember too take time for resting, you still need to recover from having the baby...Sending love from Scotland ❤
Becky they have a cloth like material that you just lay over the ground and burn holes in it where you want to put your plants or seeds. No weeds come up through it. You might have a few come in where you place your planting holes. They say it's good for five years possibly more. You can get it in rolls up to 15 foot wide. Makes in ground gardening a lot easier.
My parents have 2/3 of an acre & they do all their own work, but they have built a pond in every home they have owned. For 15+years in NM it's been a registered wildlife habitat. Their koy fish are sooooo big now & they have chocolate mint growing around their entire koy pond. My mom loves it because my grandfather is a Marine & woodworker so he built my mom a new wooden Easel & a huge yoga platform so when she meditates, paints or does yoga by the pond each morning she smells chocolate mint. It's calming & wakes you up plus she said the smells & environment reminds her of Japan where my grandfather was stationed for part of her childhood.
This has to cost thousands of $$. You are blessed to be able to spend that.
It's going to be a beautiful setting. Becky, as someone who has chickens I appreciate your love for them, but you need to get them in a confined area soon..they are "messy and yucky" as you said, and they can do a lot of damage to gardens and the outdoor area around your house.
Expanding your raised beds is such a wise idea! You will be glad you did that for yourself! ❤
My daughter has a dry river bed, is used for excess water drainage when a lot of rain. Works great, looks good and very little maintenance, and no longer an issue with water run off.
Becky I know your videos are a few weeks behind but I would love to see your seed starting more in real time! I'm a relatively new gardener in a similar zone as you and it would be super helpful to see what you are planting now rather than a month ago. So excited to see your starts and see if mine are on the right track!
You might check out her Instagram! She's been putting stories up showing the progress of the sprouts and I think they're still pretty new so you could still start and be right along with her!
Please check your last frost date to know when to plant. Frosts dates are not the same in the same zone. I am zone 8. Roots and refuge can plant in March where we cannot plant until May.
Thank you for sharing your life with us. I love seeing you and what you and Josh are getting done. It’s so very exciting. Thank you for sharing your life with us.❤️
You also want to consider electricity for your greenhouse and chicken coop for lights and heat.
I definitely agree with raised beds for gardening. So much easier to grow and manage soil.
Also just because you have 20 Beds doesn't mean you have to plant them all every year.
Also you could add a Strawberry and Raspberry beds.
She still has beds on the side of the house. It has strawberries.
Becky! I wanted to let you know there's a way to preserve fresh eggs uncooked! It's called water glossing! Look into it!
Hi Becky, it's looking great! Just a thought, take some done photos of the dug trenches and file them away, so that years down the track you have a record.
Great idea, plus Josh gets to play with a drone!
You are just living the life! You go girl!❤
Lavender is another great perennial that shouldn’t have any issues coming back in your area for your herb bed! Plus will add some colour, smells unreal (antidepressant and anxiety suppressor uses medicinally) and the Bees LOVE it! ❤
What about some kind of netting over the chicken run to ward off predators? This is very important!!
The soil looks fantastic (just going off the footage of the trenching). Good soil and good sunlight. Living the dream
Just want to say I love all the baby acre noises we get during your voice overs now. It’s so cute!! 🥺
I can see through Becky's wrap that baby steadily growing bigger. Love catching glimpses of his little legs or hands. So sweet. He's going to outgrow that wrap before too long.
Good morning Becky, I cannot wait to see the beautiful kitchen painting finished & warmed up with your beautiful art work. The garden is going to be awesome. The chicken crack me up . They are just out there with the landscapers like little supervisors.😂 Becky are you going to do potatoes again were you just threw them on the ground? If I’m remembering correctly you got a huge amount of potatoes from that bed. I think it was in the old chicken coop.? Becky how large is your property. Does the back go farther than the garden beds? It’s such a beautiful view. Enjoy dinner with Mom & Dad❤.
Love the raised beds. Good idea to skip the unground gardens for now. And I’d use all those beds to start all of my perennials from seed, just grow them on for a year then, keep multiplying and spreading throughout the property over the next couple of years using all those new beds and the future greenhouse .. imagine lines of English lavender, sedums, echinacea, etc perennials.. all grown from seed on your property. And then I’d empty them all out again and do my annual cut flowers and vegetables. 👌🏻 Excited for you. Looks beautiful.
I think going all raised beds for now is a great decision. So much easier. I hate weeding so I get it lol Then you can look forward to your in ground garden in the future! Can't wait for the gardening to begin! You gave me the courage to start seedlings this year! First time doing that😁
You are making such great progress! It's very exciting to see all the transformation! Thank you for sharing this episode of your life in your new homestead🥰. PS it's so amazing hearing baby Acres cooing in the background. Many blessings to you🙏♥️
Only thing with chickens been near the wooded hedge line it will be easy for predators to sneak in and grab them
I absolutely love that wall
Colour! Million times better!
Amazing progress in your yard. I can't wait to see you in the garden!!
It's so exciting seeing it all come together, but I'm so impatient and really looking forward to seeing the whole thing at the end of the growing season, not only full of the beds but also full of plants!
The inground garden will be fine for your pumpkins and winter squash and if you get the commercial weed fabric from Growers Solutions in the 6' x 300' rolls, burn holes in it every 3 feet and plant in the holes for a no-weed, no critter hiding in the weeds garden! The perfect spot to grow your 300-pound pumpkin! I have it under my tall raised beds and you could pay it down and put your boards on the edge to keep the edges clean of weeds too. A leaf blower keeps the fabric cleared and nice looking with the bonus of no walking in mud or displaced mulch which will also allow weeds to grow. I have mulched the areas around my garden and the fabric is visible but it is aesthetically appealing to the eye.
Thank you Becky for all you do for us
I’m surprised you are not concerned with predators for the Chickens.
I can’t wait to see the finished riverbed! ❤
Just enjoying the transformation and the excitement of what the garden will be and the growth, so looking forward to how your garden progresses and see how productive it will be!
Wow! Your homestead is looking amazing!! Thank you for bringing us on your journey😊
I recall my husband’s grandfather liked to have a slope in his in-ground garden. As he watered the top of the slope, it filtered naturally down to the rest of the garden.😊
It's so exciting to see these projects getting done!! Thanks for sharing.
Becky don't forget to take time for yourself through all of this and get some rest, you have a big adventure coming these next few months! Love watching you♥
Your energy, as a new mother, is amazing. I am catching up on your videos due to giving up social media for Lent. Can"'t wait o see your beautiful garden!
Your slope looks similar to mine! I've done the same with blueberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, raspberries and honeyberries at the lower part of the veg patch - shade on the rest of the veggies isn't an issue! We have 18 beds and the length was done to the length of the planks! So 4ft x some metric measure close to 15 feet. I'm now experimenting with a permaculture tree guild and have a cherry tree and a mulberry tree. So far underneath the roots is one spare garlic clove and a few elephant garlic "babies". Next up on order are two plum trees and a damson and lots of strawberries!
Your plot is coming along very well. It is exciting to see it all pull together. The dry river bed is a lovely feature too. Thank you.
Hello dear, how are you doing today??
This is so exciting! It's all coming together! Happy dance! Another great video Becky!
Thank you so much for being willing to share your life with us ❤️
Amazing progress inside and out, lots going on...
I'm truly enjoying watching your garden plans evolve! Thanks for sharing.
Oh lovely and how lucky are those workers I know you are feeding them! blessings it is turning our beautiful!
I would suggest that you have yards of topsoil brought in and put in your backyard to get rid of the slope and create a terrace. Have an excavator brought in.
Raised beds are really the best way to control the quality of the soil and will be plenty for you to manage at this point. If you do want to expand later to an inground garden I highly recommend the woven ground cover that Living Traditions use. It is made by DeWitt. I have been using it for 2 years and I work full-time. I would never be able to have an inground garden without it. Love your channel!
Everything is looking really nice! So Happy for you guys!🙂
So glad you did an update on your landscaping project. I look forward to watching your videos.
I think I am as excited as you are with your garden plans. I can't wait to see the stuff growing and processed. Great plans.
Yeah!! Take care and be blessed sweet lady.😊
I've been really busy with work but I've been getting caught up! It's coming along very nicely! I'm excited to see it all done but appreciate watching it come together ❤️.
This so exciting to see how all your projects are coming along. Your going to have an awesome property once it’s all complete. Until next time have a fabulous day with your family.
Becky everything looks fantastic. Moving along. Love the Boulder wall in back and the dry creek in front. It'll look so pretty when things are planted.
You are making such great progress, this is turning out fantastic Becky!
I love the dry river bed front landscaping! I lived in AZ for many years and we had them in our landscaping. I want to do it again at my next home. ☺️
I followed your lead and bought "Gossamer Veil" paint for our newly designed master bath & kitchen. Your description & seeing the color on the videos sold me. And I LOVE it!! Thank you!!
Hi Becky & Josh and Baby Acre, happy for your journey in life and you sharing as you grow along the way, your Garden is going to be Great, 2-25-2023❤
Great progress...happy for you...raised boxes are a better choice. As you age it gets harder to get on the ground to garden. Raised boxes keep the moisture in better as well. Cut grass clippings work as mulch. I use it every year. One bit of advice make a temporary fence like you did at your other house, around the chicken coop. Contain your chickens. The crew may tell you that the chickens are not a problem. I know better. My husband and sons do construction and building yard landscape. Chickens slow them down and get in the way. They have to constantly watch that they don't hit them with shovels. And other equipment. Your workers could go faster if you get those chickens out of their way. They don't want to make you made so they are putting up with them. For the safety of your hens contain them for now.
Gosh I'm soo excited to see the end result it all sounds amazing. ☺️ Hopefully soon I get to start my garden☺️ your such an inspiration
Yay it’s coming along Becky I’m happy for you
So exciting to see all the changes you all are making. Love the new house paint color as well.
When you mentioned your raised beds I wonder if you are making the sides higher! I know you’re young now but as you get older it is a game changer not having to bend over so far or get on your knees! Or maybe, they can make them so you can add height in the future! So excited for you!
That rock wall turned out so beautifully!!!!!
Wow Becky the progress is amazing and I love the rock wall
beautiful changes Becky!!! God bless you & your sweet family
Take you time, becky!
And thanks for the inspiration!
Hope spring will come soon- we have snow today in vienna/austria. 🤧😅
I just wanted to say I have been watching you for a long time now and you have inspired me to get on and order seeds and grow bags and try my hand at a few things this year! Thank you for being you and I cant get enough of all the projects you have going much love from my happy home to yours :)
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, you make my day a little brighter each time you do. ❤️
Very exciting to see the garden come to gether!👍♥️
Oh, I love to see what's happening in your garden and you got most of your painting done! I can't wait to see how your garden looks when you're ready to plant! I am excited for you hun! xo Deb
It is so exciting watching all of the changes and progress yall are making.
Hello dear, how are you doing today?
You’ll NEVER regret investing in raised beds. I’m 52 and I love my raised garden beds. They’re 26” tall and to be honest, I’m looking at the feasibility to adding another 6-ish” because I’m tired of bending over. LOL
This is awesome Becky, I'm so happy for you and excited to see it all come together. Great ideas all along the way. Thanks for always sharing your time with us. You inspire us so much.
we got a drop from chipdrop last fall and it was so much we are still moving it around the yard. Finally getting alot of it moved into our garden area, yay!
