Links are affiliate links, but I will only recommend items I LOVE and use daily with no extra cost to you, and it helps support the channel! Thank you for your support!
Becky, I really want to thank you for your inspiring content. It's thanks to you that I started canning jam, and on my tiny 4x8 balcony, I am growing radishes, carrots, tomatoes, herbs, and much more to come! I even joined a collective garden in my city. Big thank you for showing us that we can grow food and be more self-sufficient, regardless of what space we have to work with!
I also appreciate how Becky inspires us to become more self-reliant and that she does it in a calm, cheerful way. She's not a fear monger.
I've stopped watching prepper channels that are based on conspiracy theories and fear. They depress me. (I consider myself a "prepper" but am not paranoid about it. I don't run around like I'm about to have my head lopped off by pruning shears when I don't find the case of canned green beans I wanted.)
It's just my own theory, and I may be wrong, but I think a lot of the people who are drawn to these channels get a delicious thrill from being frightened--like they would if they read a spooky Stephen King novel. Because of this thrill seeking behavior these channels can become addictive. The viewers need their daily jolt of Adrenalin. Viewers who watch gardening videos are the opposite.
I do like the channel, "Appalachia's Homestead." The gal who has the channel is extremely blunt about getting prepared for increasing inflation and our deteriorating economy but she, in general, keeps her sense of humor. (She considers herself a "prepper.")

BRAVO!!! Keep it up! Great job!
Absolutely awesome. There is always a way. For those who want to grow more neatly indoors try the Park Seed Biodome for seed starting. Instead of messy soil, these use planting plugs fitted for styrofoam blocks. A bit on the pricey side ($49 for a starter set) but so worth it and so well made. With an LED light strip and heat mat you can easily grow leafy greens, lettuces and even Pak Choi all year round in them. A real game changer for me.
LOL The chicken that jumped on the top said, "SUCKERS!" They're too cute!
Hi Becky! So glad you are feeling a little better! Just a suggestion and maybe you already looked at this idea - but I saw another video where they put a gutter on their hen house and made a rain catchment system to help provide water to their chickens. I don't have any experience gardening or chickens but I just thought it was cool and thought it might help with not having to attend the girls everyday ;) Love your channel!
I think the new position is under a big tree and very dry. She could do this when she knocks the old chicken hut down and builds her beautiful potting shed, that would work really well if it stays by the chicken fence. Great idea.
If her chickens are like mine their gonna need her to be out and about with them too still. They miss their PERSON - mine get all excited when they hear,, mommy’s coming to see her girls 😁. It’s just SWEET.
My husband did this for me last year - it’s been GREAT !
@@katehopkinsbrent5573 really? chickens? lol. That is too funny. I was watching the Iowa Dairy farmer guy and the other day he had a calf following him around nipping at his behind...it was funny to watch. Animals are so amazing lol.
Wow that's an awesome idea. Going to do that for my chickens.
Becky, I'm glad you're feeling better! I am raising 2 of my grandchildren and want them to know the many things I wasn't raised knowing. I was raised by a blind grandmother who did all the things but didn't allow us to help because she had memorized where everything belonged. My granddaughter, 14 yrs old, and I are learning SO much from your confident, informative, calm presentations! Thank you!
Your channel is why I have had the courage to start my own homestead. Thanks for not only the informative videos but relatable videos!
totally - i have converted so many things i already know w beckys stuff it's genius
Peppers as they say like to hold hands so they love to be planted close to each other. Love your channel!
I planted my tomatos, Peppers and cucumber today. May 15 and we finally have over 10 degrees celsius every night here in Denmark 😀 love your channel, you are the reason i now have my own garden filled with crops.
I'm in Norway and I just put my cherry tomatoes and chili peppers in a small greenhouse I bought. Hope they'll be successful for us both :)
@@sooh6299 i Hope we have success too. Held og lykke til os 😀
@@lillelucia
@@lillelucia what does 'lykke' mean ?
@@natalee420 it means good luck in danish 😃
Hi Becky....love how your mushrooms are spreading "all over the place". i think it looks kind of rustic and homey that way but if you want them to keep growing and spreading please stop pulling the mushrooms up by the roots. Just cut them off and leave the roots to grow again and spread. Pulling the fruits ups by the roots doesn't allow the runners to keep growing.
At the beginning I thought this too, but I think mushrooms grow and spread by mycillium which propagate when they have spread throughout the medium. Not quite like the roots of a plant.
This is not the case at all. It does not hurt the mycelium at all, in fact, often the disturbance in the mycelium from pulling will initiate further fruiting. This is kind of akin to pulling an apple off the tree including its stem, the tree doesn't die or stop producing because you pulled the stem with the apple.
Yes it is a good practice to leave the roots.. however it doesn't seem to have affected her mushrooms lol!
I planted these as well.. I hope I have as much success as she does!
I am so happy I found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I went through my third breast cancer this winter. It made me decide to retire from my job to spend more time with family and friends. I’ve been mulling over what to do with all the time I now have on my hands. Your videos have inspired me to begin canning again, something I haven’t done since my 20’s. I’m also trying my hand at growing some veggies and herbs. Nothing on the scale that you grow, just some container growing this year. Thanks for helping this middle aged lady find enjoyable things to do.
God bless you and I wish you a lot of fun with your projects coming😀
so glad you found this channel ! it is truly inspiring , and i am glad to hear your story !
Girl, you are so energetic that you tire me out just watching you. I’m picking up a lot of tips like using mulch to stop weed growth. Keep up the good work!
That is an awesome feeder. I would worry about the weight of the feed eventually popping the rivets around the edge. A brick under each end or fully supporting it with bricks would eliminate that issue, though.
Your videos have become my most looked forward to time of day!
Everytime you upload an instant smile is put on my face, absolutely adore you Becky keep up the great work youve always done!
Agreed!
the way you talk about your chickens and homesteading in general just oozes passion! hopefully one day i can own a self sufficient homestead in the future 🙃
ps. have you ever considered opening a Patrion and doing episodes on there? I think it would be a great way to make a little extra money doing what you love!
She really is so great isn't she?!
Oh, are you Australian too?
@@jsmith8904 nope, just pretty young. american btw
Yep! She makes me want to buy an acre and start homesteading. Lol 😆
@@hannahkayee831 me fu
you sound under the weather with congestion and sore throat. I can't believe how hard you still worked in spite of being sick! I have to say don't neglect self care because you are super industrious and I don't want you burning out.
Question what do you do with slugs or getting rid of them? What about gypsy caterpillars and moths? Big problem in my garden.
slugs and snails feeds on pansies, marigolds on the hand will deter them if you border them around your garden. I love how you put marigolds in the middle of your peppers. I hope that will get rid of the slugs and your peppers thrive this year.
Can you do a video on your irrigation system?
I like that you add flowers to your veggie garden. Really makes for a beautiful garden. Thank you for sharing 🤗
Did anyone else admire that soil where Becky dug down to put the cinder block down for the chicken feeder? Lol
I can’t believe it’s only your third year of gardening 😂 My green stalk garden just arrived today, excited to get started!
Love how your garden is growing along and your happy chickens!
those chickens are too dang cuted , they are soooo happy
Also do you have a video on how to set up the watering systems in your garden . I am new to gardening
Hey Becky! I own a pasture raised chicken farm in Tillamook, Oregon with about 5,000 chickens. We use the trough-o-matic stock water tank from Little Giant to give our girls water. It’s a float that you leave hooked up to a hose, so it’s automatic watering system. You will never have to fill up a water again! Best regards, Annie.
I am so anxious to watch all of your plants grow and produce!! It's an exciting time. God's blessings.....
I have trouble remembering when fruits should be ready to harvest so this year I put tags with harvest week dates when I planted... we'll see if this helps.
That feeder looks great, not only keep the rain out but less mess and waste .
Adult life = getting excited about a new chicken feeder. LOL So cute how they came to "help" you set it up. Your garden looks amazing! You are so productive.
I love spending time with you planting in the garden 😊🐞🌞🌷🌻👍👍 I cannot wait to get my water cleaned up so I can get back out to mine!! Happy place 🤗
Put a decent feeder INSIDE your coop. One that holds a lot of feed.
Btw, love your energy and enthusiasm in everything you are doing. You remind me of myself when it comes to gardening, preserving etc! You are very down to earth, humble and yet informative. Great to watch!
I just started my first garden this year and your video are so helpful. I haven’t seen rain since the end of march, and I live in the region of my country known for his rain. I have never seen so much sun in the first half of the year!
Love your videos and your channel, they’re the reason I became so invested in my garden!
I built my feeder out of 5 gal lidded bucket,mounted to coop for less than $10
It's salsify, sassafras is a tree. Maybe put a couple bricks on the feeder, keep the wind from blowing it off?
Hi Becky. I am really enjoying your garden as I live in a apartment with my husband and sister in law. She would never let me have plants on her balcony or in her living room so I get to enjoy yours. Thanks so much for making these videos because I really appreciate the work that you do. God bless from Kingston Ontario Canada
OMG YALL SHE USED THE WORD CATAWAMPUS. She was already my queen but LAWD she just gets better and better 🤣💗
You did such an amazing job I'm so happy that you got so much planted and that chicken feeder oh my goodness you don't have to be running out feeding them as much...awesome 😊
Now I need to get my butt out there and start working on my gardening I live in an apartment so I only have container gardening but I have quite a bit of it. Thank you so much for your influence💗💗💗
The photo boxes have been great so far. We are finally getting the plants in this year!
I love your new feeder. But make sure you put a brick on it to keep it from blowing off.
My dad used to run string around the garden and rub Irish spring soap on it … the deer and rabbits didn’t like the smell lol seemed to work
If your area of Washington is anything like mine (Whidbey island), those "days to maturity" are a bit shorter than what I actually see with melons. I think it's because we just don't get very hot
I started making homemade pasta after watching your last video! Such a great way to preserve and so delicious!
You are so blessed to have all that growing space! So much better to grow food than more lawn, keep up the good work.
The wheelbarrow getting in the middle of those pots made me chuckle 🤭 😂😂
You could make an extra feeder with a 5 gallon bucket or 50 gallon trash can and 2.5 or 3 inch pvc pipe and elbow
Becky, you are a gem,such energy. A thought , if you are planning to remove the fencing from the old chicken barn take the panel gate and put in your new chicken run.
So fun watching how smart and enthused the chicken are about their new diner!
Great stuff Becky!!!!! Cheers to a 100% speedy recovery!!! Close to 300k too...you go girl!!!! Please know you are inspiring and changing lives for the better!!!
Growing up we would spend time on our grandpa's farm. He always had fields of aspergras (sp). My cousin's and I would snap the tops off (sand and all) and eat and eat until grandpa would find us and run us off. Those were the good old days.
awww i love that story ! asparagus is the sp
Your garden is looking great. I’m tired just watching you work. 😊😊😊😊
Pink banana squash are HUGE! I grew them on year and needed physical help hauling them out of the garden. The flavour was almost melon-like and very nice, however they grew so huge that they were hard to deal with. I cooked them and froze them in containers for muffins, baking etc, but gave many to my chickens cuz they were more than I could handle!
I am in awe of your garden! I wish I could live on a property where I could have a real garden! Until then I will live vicariously through you.
I love watching your video's. I am disabled so I am unable to move a wheelbarrow so I have a camping wagon that I use to move things with. I purchased it at Walmart they run from $48 to $100. It is not as wide as a wheelbarrow but it has 4 wheels. It can be pushed or pulled. I really think you should get you one. I would send one to you but I am on a very limited budget beings that I am on S.S.I.
I use rubber snakes all through the garden area to keep birds at bay. Also, coursly crushed egg shells help with the slugs. Just don't crush too fine
Deer are good at topping peas. I have to net all mine. Basil is a good companion plant for tomatoes. The only trouble with those bulk feeders is that you have to remember to check them. It's easy to get busy and forget. Maybe develop the habit of peeking at the feed level once a week when you add water. Thanks for mentioning the seeding square. I love mine.
Love the chicken that was curious and tried to help with the set up!
I KNOW , she's all watch this suckers ! i'll feed from the top LOL
You are just so so soooo helpful!!! Amazing to watch and feel like a friend watching her friend doing amazing things.
i know , i finally feel like i have someone like me who keeps on going .... and going ...
You are so inspiring. We are moving soon to a bigger place and I can’t wait to start my container garden.
You should make your squash bed a vertical bed. Use cattle panels. Then plant under them.
Oh my gosh I don't know how you manage all of these gardens . I am just starting and I love watching your content
Hope you feel better soon Becky. Can barely wait to see seeds/plants grow vegetables/fruit. Per usual you were quite productive. Love the new chicken feeder, beautiful. Sure the girls are loving it. You’re such a good momma to them.
Grow lights and heat mats are a must! I also use Park Seed Biodomes, another game changer for seed starting. No more flimsy seed starting trays or peat pots for me. A bit pricey but another game changer. My peppers and tomatoes are amazing. Awesome for Pak Choy, zucchini, leafy veggies and starting flowers too.
Time to get a critter camera to see who visits your garden at night.
My husband has family in Enumclaw and we went camping at Washington State Park one time, and the SLUGS!!!! Oh my goodness. The greenery was beautiful but I was scared to step anywhere! They were all over the place. We actually found one on our trailer when we got back to Nevada. Poor guy did NOT like the dry NV air lol.
Girl…I gotta take a nap after watching your videos…lol…you are a go getter…love it.
Hi becky! I hope you are feeling better these days and yes, it has been a wet miserable spring so far. I'm not too far from you maybe an hour's Drive so I'm getting the same lovely weather as you are haha! It looks like that chicken feeder will work out really well for you. I just had a thought that maybe part of a wooden pallet would be good to put the chicken feeder on it's a little wider and it seems like it would give a little more stability for the ends of the chicken feeder being a little wider than the cinder block. I really enjoy your videos even though I'm retired at sitting at home it still is a pleasure to see you and what you have to offer.
Sorry to hear you have been under the weather, I hope you feel back to full Becky Speed. You seem to be doing great but don't push yourself too hard.
There is a great little family seed company called Victory Seeds in Molalla, Oregon. They sell heirloom organic seeds.
Hi Becky, I love the way you grew the mushrooms. You are not afraid to try new techniques to grow food. Take care. 🌻
Wow Becky. You are awesome. I love how much you love and care for your animals.
I am also amazed at how much you get done out in the garden. I just want you to know that I truly enjoy watching your channel 🥰. God bless you and I hope you feel 💯% soon 🙏.
i know - her chickens are the HAPPIEST chickens, i love how the one flew up over the feeding bin
You need a t-shirt with Game Changer inside a hair bun outline as merch 😊
You take good care of your animals ,love People ho do that xxx
“I over planted this bed but that’s just what I do” 😂 SAME girl, same! I over plant every year but it always works for me! And I also forget what most of my seedlings are even tho I swear I will remember. Haha! The fun adventures in gardening! Your beds look fabulous, can’t wait to watch it grow over summer! ❤❤
i agree - i'm chaos too in the yard and it's beautiful !
Can video or shoot pix..I too neglect labels….old blinds cut up work well.
I love using turf grass in nests…eggs stay cleaner…just shake out regularly.
Aaargh, those pesky deer! I have so little success trying flowering shrubs in Central Texas. I use deer resistant plants recommended by my County extension agency & Texas A & M. Even so, they will put some up, root & all and eat the flowers & leaves because its drought. The local say all bets are off on what the deer won’t eat! Must have deer fencing for vegetable beds!
Becky says “I grabbed a chicken and shoved her head in the whole.) you don’t hear that every day. 😂 that made me laugh.
Wow! You're fast. I am so inspired to have more garden space and start canning again. Last year we planted cantelope for the first time.Two of the three seeds didn't take so we only got four melons. They were soooo much better than store bought. Totally organic, as well. The only fertilizer we use is composted farm manure from a friend, She has horses, goats, sheep and a donkey. Everything we plant in it does wonderful. Love from Gresham, Judy
I made a feeder out of a 5 gal bucket and 45 degree pvc pipe 2 1/2 inch diameter and it worked great until I upgraded to 4 inch pvc and all the birds thought they found a new open diner. I wouldn't mind but the organic layer feed is $47 a bag, Now that summer is here I can put a tarp over the chicken run and get the feeder back out. I can't tarp in the winter due to snow loads. Your feeder looks like small birds would not be able to access the feed. If you get a chance to try Thai Basil, it is very nice and has a spicy flavor,
I just finished watching every canning video you have. I can't wait to get started on my garden and canning.
I don't have room for a garden like your, but you still have inspired me over the last year to grow some things. So far I have strawberries, green peppers and summer squash. Love your videos as always, especially the cooking/freezer meals and preserving your harvests.
i know ! the freezer meals have honestly saved me from SO many disasters , i can't belive how my pace has changed for the better !
Hi Becky. We found a feeder for our hens that works on a treadle. They stand on the treadle and it opens and then closes when they step off. Just for info they are called grandpa feeders.
A tip for you Becky from someone from the inner city of Amsterdam, so I have no experience with chickens 😀. When you collect eggs in a metal bowl, just put a cloth on the bottom so the eggs are less likely to break.
Oh wow .. That's an awesome feeder SoilSista. My husband made one for my girls. He used a 5gal bucket, cut the bottom out and added a water catch pan wider than the bucket. It's working great, I only feed our girls every 3-4 days... But this is nice ❣️
Good job you always get so much done and are an inspiration for me! In other words I pulled a Becky today got soil for seven rows put down and planted…two more rows to go and then my hightunnel! Got a whole lot done so thank you for inspiring me and I think a lot of others 💕
Becky! I know you are super busy, but if you could do an update/review on this feeder that would be great. I think I want one. 😉
I hooked up the chickens water tank with the sprinkler. I Just put a 1/4" drip hose in the water tank. I NEVER have to worry about refilling their water tank. 💧
I love your chicken feeder anything to make life easier 😆 🤣 lol...I love your garden , turning out so nice 😋 my first garden I did I got so excited lol especially when I tried new things but so much fun to do and watch them grow I lived in Montana with my first garden found out short growing season the hard way out in the dark in a snow storm with my kids pulling up tomato plants with them ... lol my mom said pull the plants with green tomatoes and all and put in paper bags in basement and they will ripen sure did all 32 plants of them lol I ended up canning half and freezing them lol I lost everything else in garden from the snow and freeze learned the hard way lol 😆
me and hubby are doing our first larger garden with potatoes onions garlic tomatoes blackberry and raspberry and blueberry tomatoes and 3 different pepper types thanks for the inspiration and looking forward to future videos
I place my peppers,fill hole with diluted fish fert water then back fill with dirt.. watering as I go
I want to try this pink banana! I hear so many good things about it... It's funny you mentioned rain! During our Friday Night live I said it hadn't rain here in Savannah zone 8B in about 3 weeks. It did rain on the other side of town but not in our neck of the woods. While we where live I said I WISH IT WOULD RAIN! Then I told my husband I felt like a Temptation thinking about the song. Ha! Still no rain today I may go out and do a rain dance. Ha! Thanks for the video SoilSista we appreciate you
Yup, it's definitely drippy in the PNW!
Love the chickens helping you, lol!
They are magnificent, yes?
Glad you are feeling a bit better.
Peace on your doorstep!
OMG yes, bird insurance! I started big jim pepper seeds, hardened both of the plants off, planted them in the backyard and the birds ate them the next day. :( I had to replant by direct sow...I hope the birds don't eat them again. I planted some Zinnia based on your videos and 2 of them just sprung tiny petals! ❤️
I am laid-up with a sprained ankle and injured knee so I have been bingeing your videos! Thank you for keeping me company while I heal. I'm excited to get back to my garden. It is a very small garden and my first time. But your videos really inspire me! One of my dreams is to homestead.
A rabbit did the same to all my peas! It’s getting too hot where I’m at now for them to recover so I’m just using that space for more tomatoes.
That sea foam color that you are wearing is your color. It just really makes you sparkle.
"I put it on. I grab a chicken..." hahaha. What a great podcast. Definitelly trying the feeder. Definitelly trying the mushrooms. Getting the sq. gardener. Thanks!
Lovely to see your garden thriving Becky. Your enthusiasm is wonderful to see!
I like how a couple of chickens think differently from the flock, very clever.
We made those feeders with plastic tubs and PVC pipe. Works excellent. Our quail are messy eaters, worse than our chickens and it keeps them from pooping in their food.
You got a lot done there Becky,especially as you have been unwell,i bet you were exhausted by the time you were done! Your pepper plants look really good & strong! 😃 I can’t wait to see when your pumpkins & squash grow! 😃 I have a special love for them,as i love 🎃👻,i used to decorate up big when my kids were young,all the neighbour kids would come by to see everything 😄 Do take extra care of yourself until you are back to feeling 100%,don’t overdo things 🥰🤗🤗🤗
Your channel is super motivating for me. Thanks for all the amazing content.
The green leek tops are good dehydrated and powdered for seasoning blends.
Put Irish spring bath soap out where deer are a problem. They hate it. Shavings or net bags.
Saved my redbud tree when planted.
