      This is no hate to you or your channel; simply a heads up. I get that you have to make money and sponsorships are a big part of that. However, BetterHelp has recently been in trouble by the US government for 1) Not having licensed therapists even though they advertise they are licensed, and 2) selling customers' personal information including the personal info you fill out in that questionnaire and/or tell the worker in your sessions. This court case, which they were found guilty of doing these things, is easily found with a simple Google search. I highly recommend doing some research before agreeing to work with a potential sponsor. Especially one who gets access to a people's most private info about their lives and has been found guilty of selling that info to others.

    Becky, I'm going to say this to you because I feel like you need to hear it: don't let anyone make feel bad about therapy. I spent 13 years in therapy off and on for a dysfunctional family issue. I hate to say this but in order for me to retain my mental balance, I had to cut parts of my family out of my life, because they were part of the problems I was having. You do what you have to do to retain your mental balance. You'll make it, you are stronger than you realize

    Better Help is a scam-please do a deep dive before investing your time in them!! In a nutshell-2 class action FTC lawsuits violating HIPPA and selling client info to ad companies and other social media platforms; questionable unprofessional, (are they)licensed therapists, not covered by insurance, expensive, many personal horror stories just here on YT. The company’s response to law suits very blasé, not really taking any responsibility or accountability. You’re better off finding someone local, and gardening and touching grass will do so much more!!

      I’m in southeast New Brunswick and our last frost date is mid May BUT never fails- the new moon in June gives us one last frost blast. EVERY YEAR and they call it a fluke 😄. I still plant out in May but time it so that they’re not like too big to cover easily in June. This year, I’m ground planting some things in my greenhouse , airflow with the windows and the doors should help regulate heat in there, a friend of mine said put your brassicas in it. 😯 Mist brassicas hate heat so I’ll stick to netting to keep the cabbage moths off.

I am so looking forward to yours growing! May I suggest you use straw mulch around your flowers. I have found it really helps with weeds as well as returning goodness to the soil and keeping the soil moist in our hot summers (I am in Australia and we have anything up to 45° celcius (113° F) where I live in Summer). I watch all of your videos and it inspires me, both in my cooking and my gardening. 😊

    I can SO relate to your hesitancy to go see a therapist. It seems like a daunting task to find the right fit. I am 3 weeks from my 60th birthday. Recently diagnosed with ADHD. I'm suffering terribly with grief of what could have been if someone had picked up on it many years ago. Women in general, especially in my age group are the lost generation with that diagnosis and treatment. I also suffer with GAD and C-PTSD. I've literally lived most of my life (since age 6) in survival mode or masked to feel "normal". Until recently... didn't even know those were a thing. Thank you for sharing, Becky. The method of therapy has had me in the rabbit hole for a while now. You have encouraged me to finally pull the trigger and check it out.
    I can't tell you how proud I am of you to share such private struggles. You and your videos are already therapy for many of us 😉, it can only get better now. ❤

    I had to start my tomatoes 3 times this year. But now they are big and beautiful. The first time was over watering the second I honestly have no idea what I did wrong. But the 3rd time I got the Burpee seed starters and I absolutely love them you just put water in the bottom and it waters the plants I also continued doing that when I up potted them last weekend with the cheaper trays from Walmart. I left a cell empty and just fill the bottom from that cell . It is working amazing.
    You are doing so great Becky thank you for showing us how you do things and if something doesn't work out, because it honestly helps to know other people have issues also and to keep trying. And you are so right we can definitely learn from our mistakes and not to give up. So thank you so much for all you are teaching me. I hope your tomatoes pull through. But if not you have grown over 300 snap dragons and a ton of peppers and all kind of other things you are doing amazing. Thank you again for everything you are teaching me.

    Hi! I really enjoy your channel i rarely if ever comment. Just a thought as i watch you plant in your garden. You have such beautiful garden beds. My thought is have you considered numbering your garden beds and keep track of whats in your beds that way? Just a thought. Happy Gardening 😊

    curious..sorry if you have answered this before, why do you use tape for your plant labelling? wouldnt it be more beneficial to use plant tags/sticks so you can transfer the tag to the garden as you plant for easy reference throughout the growing season.

    Suggestion: up pot the tomato plants. Put on a heat mat ( they need heat) try a dilute fertilizer if the plants don't perk up. This is from a hot New Mexico area.

    She grew flowers and my grandfather grew the veg. Thank you for inviting us into your gardening adventures! God bless. 🇨🇦

    Love to see how green your garden already is! We are going to start a garden this year too, but we are a little late. Regarding the celeriac, in Germany (and I think many other european countries too) it is used in basicly every soup for flavour together with carrots and Leek. Over here you even get prepackaged "Suppengrün" (soup greens) that contain all three vegetables and a bit of parsley to top the soup. If you for example want to make a Chicken-Noodle-Soup it only takes about 250g mix of celeriac, carrot and leek, about 4-6 chicken thights (depending on how much meat you like in the soup) and about 125g of small noodles (in Gemany we have Muschelnudeln, so noodles shaped like tiny shells). You cut the vegetables in small chunks (the only important is that the celeriac and carrot peaces are about the same size), put the chicken and vegetables in a pot and top with water (everything has to be covered, a little more water is not problem, since the noodles will take it later), then boild until the chicken is ready. Let it cool so you can take the meat off of the bones (you could also use chicke breast cut in cubes but it won't be as flavourful because of the missing bones and skinfat). Then cook the soup again, this time with the noodles. If you would like to freeze the soup I would recommend to do so before the last step, and just add in the noodles when reheating. It takes less space and the noodles do not get sludgy. You could also exchange the noodles with rice. In the end add in spices to your taste, I only do salt, but I could imagine other spices could go well with it.

    So one of the best things I got were those bootstrap trays that you suggested to everyone and I know you really like the epic gardener trays but bootstrap has trays just like that but are 72 cell and they’re absolutely amazing. Same great quality as the trays you suggest so you should definitely look at them. They’re not too expensive but are in investment if you could get a pack of those trays that have 72 cells and it has a finger hole And the aeration on the sides. It’s really awesome.

    I’m sure up potting your tomatoes will help them.. they are quite hungry plants and after a while they use all the nutrients in the soil and that’s when they change colour.. you can also plant them a little deeper and they will grow more roots from the stem that will take in more nutrients and moisture.. I did this with mine after they was a little leggy and they look amazing now 😊 some good nourishment will have them bouncing back in no time 🙌🏽hope this helps ☺️

    Also, my tomatoes looked horrible this year, kept losing leaves and they were curling up on me. However, now that they are being hard ed off, they are doing a lot better. Hopefully the same can be said about your's.

    Have you done any study on companion planting? I ask because some flowers and vegetables (and combo of vegetables) are encouraging to one another in nutrition and pest/weed control. “Roses love Garlic” and “Carrots Love Tomatoes” might make interesting winter reading.

    i usually spray mist with peroxide and spring water or purified water. but for some reason, when i grow tomatoes, they dont like the small cells. And, they dont like being too humid or wet, they tend to do better with a fan or breeze going over the top of them but not too strong of a breeze. I use bigger pots to start tomatoes usaully like 2 inch pots or 4 inchers for bigger plants, then i dont need to up pot. Something more along the lines of the size of a red solo cup
