GREAT VIDEO!! You just tickle me. Your hard work will pay off. The lazzefair comment after a tree attacks you or you accidentally romp thru your lettuce... hysterical right after you explain something not turning out the way you planned. Such a mature attitude after so much hard work!!😁 Actually, I'm definitely old enough to be your mom, & you make SUCH a better adult than me!!!🤣🤣🤣 Just don't change any part of your videos or how you do them. What you're doing it now makes you a breath of spring on RUclips. Your humility about how long you've been gardening is refreshing to say the least. And I might have told you this before, but YOU LOOK HAPPY. Even when things don't go exactly as planned... HAPPY. That is a biggie for me. This world needs to see more HAPPY people, just getting on with regular things again. And, in my opinion... It makes me happy to watch you be happy. Enough droning on... thanks for what you do & the way you do it! Have a great weekend!
Wow thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement. I am trying to just be me and show that because that's all I can be :) I would love to have the answers but I don't so I just decided to share the journey! I'm glad you are enjoying it :)
Hi Becky. I'm 75 and as I watch your videos on canning I bought a pressure canner so I can learn how to preserve my garden produce I keep adding to my garden each year. I've in South Florida so I grow in winter here. I'm curious about those mushrooms. I wonder if I could grow them here I love mushroom. A mushroom powder dehydrated sounds yummy to me. Good luck on your garden. I raised all my beds to 2 ft high less bending and back pain. 😂
Omg you made me laugh, first it looked like you hit your head on the branch, then you fell backwards in your garden bed sacrificing a few lettuce. I thought to myself “she’s just like me” so focused on the garden not the surroundings. Congratulations on getting all that corn and mushrooms planted. Can’t wait to see your recipe on the corn salsa. 🌽🌶🥰🥰🥰
Going back through all of your gardening videos trying to hype myself up for the upcoming growing season. 😁 I love your self-motivated energy bc you really get me going. I’ll literally pause some of your cooking videos to get dinner started even if I didn’t plan to cook that day. Thank you for the inspiration! You’re such a gem 💎 Blessings friend! 💕
I get wood chips from my light company. When ever they come and trim trees away from lines in my area, they come and dump the wood chips at my house! I love it!
Hey there I just wanted to tell you it’s been nice to have someone to listen to while I’m canning or needing ideas for the garden late at night. Your videos even though I’m way down in south Florida help me to come to ideas I otherwise wouldn’t have. Also the freezer meals videos were a great idea since I’m about to pop and I wish I had thought to do that with my first baby.
I live in South Florida also. I have a garden I keep adding to every year. Good luck with the new baby. My son is expecting his 2nd baby in Oct. Can't wait
Great Video, I enjoyed being in the garden with you, I'm excited to see how everything does especially the mushrooms. Thanks for sharing with us. I hope you are having a great day! 😊❤🥰
Just found this video. I LOVE this. I hope it works for you. I was gifted a golden oyster mushroom kit from North Spore for my birthday recently. It is growing beautifully and I am excited to watch what happens here for Becky..
Happy Mothers day! I have not been having much fortune with Wine cap mushrooms. But I think that the aminos in mushrooms helped me with getting over renouncing all meat-eating, especially red meat. But I think it takes around a hundred mushrooms to get near 50 grams of protein. It is not hard for vegans to get enough vegetarian protein. But getting a natural source of vitamin B12 seems to require whole grain sourdough-bread, fermented rice, and duckweed. Lactovegetarians can get a nice serving of complete protein with vitamin B12 just eating yogurt. Thank you for your great video efforts!
Hi Becky! I have that same hoodie you're wearing in this video. Isn't it so soft and warm? Costco, baby! Good luck with the mushrooms. I can't wait to see you harvest and use them.
All I could think of when you were messing the mushrooms was your gonna grow mushrooms in your nose now! Lol ya I know that won’t happen but is something my grandfather would totally say!
your garden is looking absolutely beautiful. The first time I saw your raised beds, it was the beginning or, in between planting season. They are so clean and growing strong,. this is the first time I could see the orchard also, I didn't realize you had so many trees. I'm glad you and Josh bought this property, it's perfect. Listen to me go on, I really like your videos, I want to be like you when I grow up. Lol. I wish we were neighbors, I need someone to drink tea with, lol. when we bought our house, I found out my neighbor was from England, the only English woman that doesn't drink tea !!!lol keep up the videos!!!
I mulched most of my yard slowly over the past year and I found this past spring I got a ton of weird 'dog vomit slime mold'. It looks so creepy but it's neat to see that and other fungus in the mulch. I'm glad I saw this because I didn't even think of planting mushrooms that I would actually eat!
Wonderful video. I jus got some wine cap mycelium and I'm excited to try to grow them. You're delightful and make this much gardening look so easy. Take care.
In 1986 I was going to Clackamas Community College in Oregon City taking an Ornament Horticulture Course. One of the student I went to school with grew mushrooms as a hobby. She had her husband build her a 10 X 12 shed lined with trays she could pull out. I don't t know what medium she used but she grew button mushrooms. She grew so many she made about $600.00 a month selling them to family and friends. The money paid for her hobby plus a lot of garden supplies. I learned during my course that wood chips need a tremendous amount of nitrogen to break down. So they rob your soil of that nutrient. You should check that out and see if it still is the same. If it is, chicken poop is very, very high in nitrogen. Love your video's and you!
I would live to grow them, nit sure how they would do here in hot& humid Florida. Girl you are going to be in mushroom heaven if you get all them coming in ,cant wait to see it
I've never grown corn. I always have this feeling it won't grow here. Funny thing is, I drive past a corn maze on my way to town every day 😂 There is some weird disconnect.
Another source of free wood chips may be your power company. They do a lot of right of way clearing which they chip up. Most power companies will maintain waiting lists of customers who want chips and they normally will drop them off at your place. They also will usually have waiting lists for used power poles and the large spools but on those you usually have to pick them up. If you need any of these immediately this wouldn’t be a good source but if you are planning for the long haul get signed up on their lists.
I'm late once again, but the whit stuff is indeed the mycelium of the wine cap (mould is also a fungus, so also a mycelium; thus would be impossible to differentiate by eye I presume), but these fungal spore kits are produced with sterile growing medium to give competing fungi no chance.
Becky, The link you have for the mushroom spawn takes me to Harvest Right freeze dryers. While eventually, I'd love to freeze dry some of my harvest, Right now I'm interested in "planting" mushrooms.
So I spent yesterday binge watching your videos. I hurt my back so what better way to take it easy. I really enjoy your videos. We live in a small town but have a really large backyard. I am wanting to do a big garden. But we keep having issues from dirt to voles. Aren"t some wood chips not good for your garden? I am guessing you can't choose what you get. Have you ever thought about doing a huglekulture bed? I have the total opposite problem than you. We only have 2 trees so straight sun most days. I am in hot Oklahoma.
Patience patience..lol I get impatient waiting to c if things germinate..i think they aren't then throw something else in just like you did AND I didn't read the packet..now there are many things growing on top of each other😜
Curious if you are considering cutting a tree or two. or maybe there are some older ones that are ready to come down. And you can use the wood in your stove.
Corn is fun for me 😅 between the weeds and corn ear worms, I've given up until the kids are older (keeping up with the bt can be difficult, as I inject squash vines with it and it takes a ton of time to do that... But I have NO squash going down due to squash borers anymore!)
@@AcreHomestead Very lucky! Lol they will level our plants in a heartbeat if I let them! The slugs and snails are bad here too, so I feel that as well. 💜
Hello Becky I'm curious what do you grow the loofa for? I just want to say i just found you about 2 weeks ago and I've been binge watching since i just love you and your channel so much you are my stress reliever i just find you and your channel so calming and informative you also remind me of canning with my Mom and i just love that I'm so looking forward for next years gardening time and i want to say Wow just Wow i don't know how you do all you do working a full time job!! That is beyond impressive!! Thank you for all your content i appreciate you!!🎃🎃
Those mushrooms there naturally before you spread the wine cap looks like honey fungus. It's very easy to identify after just a little research. Good jump off point for those looking to learn how to identify edible fungi.
They aren't doing that great. My germination was really poor actually which is pretty sad... I bought more seed and I'm going to try it again. I hope there is time...
Great video! And thanks for the free wood chip information, I paused your video and went and registered to be a drop off location! Sadly, I do have to tell you, that pink powder/coating on your corn is a very bad pesticide! I recently watched a documentary about it and how it instantly killed millions of bees… You want and need those bees to pollinate your beautiful garden! So next year, maybe try to find corn that isn’t treated with it? I can’t wait to get my wood chips!
That was ALOT ofwork! Kudus! If you ever decide to do a girly kind of video, I would love to see how you did this hairstyle. I know, your going to say your hair was a mess..lol Of course you worked for HOURS here planting and such..no matter, I’m sure it was perfect before you started your day :)

Haha thanks! I can’t wait either
Oh wow you’re going to have a million mushrooms ! That’s so cool.
I sure hope so!
🧡 “just fell into my raised bed” you are a riot 😂
The pink compound on your corn seeds is there to prevent birds and other critters from eating the seeds when you plant them.
Going back through all of your gardening videos trying to hype myself up for the upcoming growing season. 😁 I love your self-motivated energy bc you really get me going. I’ll literally pause some of your cooking videos to get dinner started even if I didn’t plan to cook that day. Thank you for the inspiration! You’re such a gem 💎 Blessings friend! 💕

Started nice and neat and ended beat and sweaty 😄That’s a sign of a good days work! Can’t wait to see how those mushrooms and corn come out!
Haha yep :) me too! I hope they both grow well
I just planted wine cap mushrooms yesterday!
Wow that’s so awesome
Oh my gosh how do I order these !! I have wanted to to grow my own forever!! We eat so many lol
Excellent video. I just planted Wine caps a few days ago. Looking forward to harvesting them. Cheers
I am enjoying all your videos so much, thank you for inviting us into you home and sharing your beautiful life with us 🙂❤️
Thanks! You are so welcome :)
This is so cool and I love the Northern Spore company
Hi Becky, went back to watch this in anticipation of my wine cap mushroom micelium coming soon! Thanks for the 10% off:)
Where did you find the link? I tried to follow a link and ended up at harvest right....
@@jenniferr2057 same - strange that now the link diverts to a completely different site
Great Video, I enjoyed being in the garden with you, I'm excited to see how everything does especially the mushrooms. Thanks for sharing with us. I hope you are having a great day! 😊❤🥰
So nice of you! Thanks so much :)
That was cute when you said look at those beautiful worms. Sounds like something I would say too.
Just found this video. I LOVE this. I hope it works for you. I was gifted a golden oyster mushroom kit from North Spore for my birthday recently. It is growing beautifully and I am excited to watch what happens here for Becky..
I like that you are planting mushrooms
You are a really good cook
I'm in zone 6 (south eastern PA) and I start loofah inside in late Feb to early March, they take a long time to flower & set fruit
Such a great idea. I didn't know any mushrooms could grow without that crazy process of log inoculation! (except in professional mushroom settings)
Happy Mothers day!
I have not been having much fortune with Wine cap mushrooms.

I realized this is a two year old video and would love a follow-up! Did it work????
My gosh can you imagine a blanket just full of mushrooms that would be amazing xx
Hi Becky! I have that same hoodie you're wearing in this video. Isn't it so soft and warm? Costco, baby! Good luck with the mushrooms. I can't wait to see you harvest and use them.
4:44 The white stuff is the mycelium! ... which is basically mould (Because mushrooms are mould) haha :)
All I could think of when you were messing the mushrooms was your gonna grow mushrooms in your nose now! Lol ya I know that won’t happen but is something my grandfather would totally say!
You will like those mushroom, they come back year after year
Thank you for the discount code! I saved a few bucks and just received my first order. Cannot wait to plant 🌱
your garden is looking absolutely beautiful. The first time I saw your raised beds, it was the beginning or, in between planting season.

The pink stuff on corn seed is Thirum it’s a anti fungal coating. Always plant corn in blocks
thank you for the tip!!
What an awesome video Becky thank you
glad you got those projects done. a tip for you, when your corn gets about a foot tall, spread some lime between the rows and water in real good
Why?
Wonderful video. I jus got some wine cap mycelium and I'm excited to try to grow them. You're delightful and make this much gardening look so easy. Take care.

So exciting! I have wine cap spawn from North Spore and I'm planning to put them under my fruit trees as well!!!
You should look into growing bamboo it’s awsome
Earthworms a very good thing to have in the garden.You have become my favorite videos to watch.
thank you for watching.
I would live to grow them, nit sure how they would do here in hot& humid Florida.
Girl you are going to be in mushroom heaven if you get all them coming in ,cant wait to see it
I hope they grow!
Looking forward to updates on this project! Keep us posted!
I will :) I hope it works
I've never grown corn. I always have this feeling it won't grow here. Funny thing is, I drive past a corn maze on my way to town every day 😂 There is some weird disconnect.
It’s that funny how we have those things in our mind
This looks like such an easy but productive crop. Good luck 🤞
Thank you! You too!
Very Nice, You convinced me to order some spawn and prepare a mushrooms bed myself :)
So it’s been a month how are they doing. I have been wanting to grow them myself. I have wild chanterelles in my woods right now
Did they grow? I just started a package and wondering how your did? Thanks!

bone meal when corn is knee-high. it helps more than just manure. love the video gurl, garden looking real nice and green.
Oh awesome! Thanks! I just made homemade so I will for sure add it!

Very cool corn patch!
Thanks! I can’t wait to see if grows
Im curious what kind of crop you had with those winecaps. And totally curious what you do with them all this year! ☀️
Loved the vid. Is there any update on the wine caps?

No eucalyptus! Nothing grows. No oleander shrubs, stems, leaves flowers. All Poison. No vines, unless you want a jungle of volunteer vines.
i’m watching older videos from
before i found your channel
This is so cool. I just ordered!! Can't wait!
YAY! I hope they grow!
Patience patience..lol I get impatient waiting to c if things germinate..i think they aren't then throw something else in just like you did AND I didn't read the packet..now there are many things growing on top of each other😜
great Video. will you be planting mushrooms in your new garden/Homestead?
Curious if you are considering cutting a tree or two. or maybe there are some older ones that are ready to come down. And you can use the wood in your stove.
I want the trees for privacy but I do plan to cute a couple of them back a bit
I am mushroom mad I could eat them for every meal 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Corn is fun for me 😅 between the weeds and corn ear worms, I've given up until the kids are older (keeping up with the bt can be difficult, as I inject squash vines with it and it takes a ton of time to do that... But I have NO squash going down due to squash borers anymore!)

Great points on the mushroom planting, some I never thought of. How long from plant to harvest?
The white stuff IS the mycelium!
Hello. How did your mushrooms grow this year??
Watching from Alberta Canada
yes but the only sprout in the spring and fall!
I love your show I hope you do a beseeching and harvest and cultivating every March July November
So how did your mushrooms do? I don’t see a video on harvesting them.
Hello Becky I'm curious what do you grow the loofa for? I just want to say i just found you about 2 weeks ago and I've been binge watching since i just love you and your channel so much you are my stress reliever i just find you and your channel so calming and informative you also remind me of canning with my Mom and i just love that I'm so looking forward for next years gardening time and i want to say Wow just Wow i don't know how you do all you do working a full time job!!

I was trying to grow them for Sponges but they didn’t work out. I’m excited for you! And thank you so much
Hide a key near the shop door😘
That’s too cool with the mushrooms. What was your yield on those mushrooms?
I love mushrooms but I’ve never grown my own!
Me either! I hope it works
I found your channel few days ago and am binge watching. Just so you know mushroom micelia is mold. 🤯🤯
i just got my winecap mycelium. it is December N Texas. I wonder if i should keep them until spring or plant them now?
Was there an update on the mushroom growth?
Those mushrooms there naturally before you spread the wine cap looks like honey fungus. It's very easy to identify after just a little research. Good jump off point for those looking to learn how to identify edible fungi.
The link for purchasing the mushroom spawn is a Harvest Right link, is that correct? I browsed a bit but didn’t find it.
How does your corn look now. Worth the hard work?
They aren't doing that great. My germination was really poor actually which is pretty sad... I bought more seed and I'm going to try it again. I hope there is time...
What is your way of eating luffa or what do you do with them?
for scrubing
Watching this in July and wondering how these are doing now?
We won't know until Fall....
is Mother's Day in US at a time different than here in Canada or did you mean to say May instead of April? Ours is in May.
Here in the US Mother's Day is May also - her comment threw me too. Guessing she meant to say May 😉😍
I’m following a mushroom guy he is growing indoor mushrooms all types crazy stuff!
Wow that’s so cool!
very nice i’ll be curious to see the mushrooms ;)
Me too lol I hope they grow :)
Bees and butterflies like Non-GMO seeds. A must for an eco safe garden. 🌈
🤍 wine cap mushrooms
Hi Becky., I I thought I watch this video already I guess I didn’t, thanks 11-1-2021👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️
Is that a Cutco knife you just stuck in the corner of the garden box? Don’t forget you put it there!
I got it inside :)
When I click on the link for the wine cap mushrooms it leads me to your freeze dryer. Is that the wrong link? Lol
Where do you get the wood chips?
Woodchipdrop.com
the whitish are the mycellium
Isn't Mother's Day always in May?
Becky what did you say about free wood chips?
Chipdrop.com
Is north spore an Australian company
how are the mushrooms going? : D
Ooo I didn't know you were in the northwest... rain everyday?
No lol I know it gets that reputation though
@@AcreHomestead well ya don’t have to yell at me lol
Hmmm I would like to grow some but does it grow herebin Texas weather
I’m not sure....
Great video! And thanks for the free wood chip information, I paused your video and went and registered to be a drop off location!
Sadly, I do have to tell you, that pink powder/coating on your corn is a very bad pesticide! I recently watched a documentary about it and how it instantly killed millions of bees… You want and need those bees to pollinate your beautiful garden! So next year, maybe try to find corn that isn’t treated with it?
I can’t wait to get my wood chips!
Thank! I will look for new corn
I never knew you could plant mushrooms. So you can eat these?? 🤔🤔
Yea to eat!
I’m tired just watching you. Good job.
Haha thanks :)
That was ALOT ofwork! Kudus!
If you ever decide to do a girly kind of video, I would love to see how you did this hairstyle. I know, your going to say your hair was a mess..lol Of course you worked for HOURS here planting and such..no matter, I’m sure it was perfect before you started your day :)
