Agreed @Nicholas🙃 Much, Love and thanks to Becky & Josh a beautifully Blessed couple. A wonderful blessing and inspiration to all of us. So absolutely much, much Love and thanks to Becky, Josh and family from Scotland 🙃 x
So if you had another green stock you could put the runners into another container then the runners will easily grow then cut them after they root for better success.
It makes it easier if you place the plants in the first bin first in the outer pockets then place the second bin on top. Add plants to the second bin then place the third working your way up.
I've learned that by using carrots instead of sugar when processing the tomato sauce, it is a better flavor. It also helps balance out the acidity levels naturally.
I love you, little Becky! I am old enough to be your granny. I have grandkids your age, but you are on one hand so knowledgeable and good at passing on that knowledge, and at the same time, just human enough to make me feel less alone in my own confusion. Good job!
Becky with all the loss I have had in my life you uplift me with all you do. I love watching your channel. I simply love your down to earth videos, you keep it so very real by showing the good, the bad and the ugly. YOU GO GIRL!!!!
Wow, your mom's backyard & view is gorgeous! I've wanted one or more of those vertical planters for years! One day perhaps. I love the idea of a growing humming bird feeder.
As a broke girl hack you can get similar three compartment stacking pots at dollar tree for $1.25 each. They don’t have as many compartments and need extra support if you stack more than three or four high but I got two stacks of 8 pots that are about five foot tall and have 24 holes each for a bout $25 dollars including the price of a piece of rebar to reinforce.
I slid the drain tube over the center of the planting section as I filled them to keep the mix from going down the hole. Make sure the hole in the gray dish is over the planting "cup",
Had two that we used for strawberries. They were only half that tall and the wind blew them around and they got knock over and we’re always drying out to fast. On our deck. Wouldn’t waste your time with them.
I just want to thank you for making my day always, I had trauma 4 years ago and now I am disabled at home every day, and are unable to do the wonderful gardens that I loved, but watching you makes my day and I just want to say thank you💕😊
Becky will you PLEASE stop with this never ending drivel? You used to be so interesting, and now you're like Veruca Salt whining about wanting everything NOW!
@@DonnaAndCynthiaFisher can you please stop with the rude comments and take your negativity elsewhere? If you don't like the content, there's a little "X" that you can click, and exit the video. Try that next time, instead of posting ridiculous demands.
I love your mom and now I know where you get your optimism from. Both yours and your mom's green stalks are going to be beautiful when the reach maturity. They are lovely now.
In England we call the tiny ones they grow tall in shady damp areas alpine strawberries. No wonder we don't understand each other half the time, same words different language 🥰
Those pine berries/ Alpine strawberries are yummy but holy cow are they bullies in the garden. I’m currently ripping them out of my ground patch and moving them to a green stalk.
I have seen them called pineberries too but maybe they are called different things in other countries, for example in the UK we say courgette or a marrow where others might say a zucchini.
Here in pa we call the small varieties “wild strawberries” these are the ones that take over as weed like plants. The white strawberries (usually sold in stores) are pine berries bc they are a pineapple strawberry flavor. And then strawberry plants that you buy are just strawberries
One recipe we like in the crock pot is honey mustard chicken and veggies. We start by putting the chopped onion in the bottom it creates the juice. Then any chicken you want top with potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Add 1full bottle of honey mustard salt and pepper to taste and cook on high for 4 hours. I have done it on med for 8 hours before. No water needed
Flowers nourish the soul, so it's really productive to plant them, just a different kind of productivity. Can't wait to see the towers in full bloom glory.
Since you went into detail about how you did not add lemon juice to your tomato sauce, according to the "USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning" on page 3-5 it says you need add acidification to tomato products whether you water bath can "or" pressure can. Under standard tomato sauce it is in bold to add acitification. Pressure canning does not changethe need to add acitification. Just thought you would want to know since people watch your canning videos.
I may be wrong and don’t have the time at the moment to go back and watch the video (I’m back in from lunch) but I believe she said she added onions to the tomato mixture which are high in acidity if I’m not mistaken.
@@suzetteblair8419 If i am wrong I apologize. Using the direction in the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning for tomato juice or vegetable juice with onions you still have to add acitification. Stewed Tomatoes with onions require acitification. Again, if I am wrong I apologize. I will still be putting lemon juice in my canned tomato products. It is just to easy to put in a little sugar in if it is to tart. I know she said she didn't want to put sugar in it.
So happy for you Becky! Oh how I wish I could get a greenstalk, but even more I wish I could spend a day with my mama. She passed away 13 years ago. Spend as much time with your mama as you possibly can while you can!
Oh so True, my mom n dad n I always planted the 🌼 flowers n garden this week all my life 😉🗯 but Daddy passed in September 2010 n momma passed May 23 of 2011 , this is a hard month for me each year 💔😇❗... I 🙏 we find peace n We now carry on the tradition with our grandkids. Making wonderful fun memories for them too 🌻🌞 🌼 each year ✅💯❗... I want a greenstalk too 😆
🇦🇺You could put the crock pot on a timer. The timer goes into the power point and the crock plugs into the timer. The timer has an on and off function.
I purchased 3 original planters in March during the sale. One is filled with assorted colors of petunias, one has june bearing strawberries and the 3rd one has peppers, spinach, kale, assorted greens, lettuces, carrots and basil and radishes. Everything is looking beautiful, surviving a terrible hail storm last Sunday. We moved them up against our garage when reports of servere storms and hail was is the forecast. I am so excited to have them doing so well. Thanks for sharing the sale with us Becky. Happy Mother's Day to you and your sweet Mom. Love from Iowa.❤
Yes ! Flowers are always an integral part of my garden , always focusing on attracting pollinators and pest repellers . However , I would use the Green stalks close to my kitchen for herbs , lettuce and berries . They are very pricey for all the soil and just flowers you can plant anywhere
I love crockpots for easy dinners. I don't usually do lasagna in one, because I prefer the consistency of and depth in a pan in the oven. I DO have a casserole crockpot though which is great if I want to do a casserole especially for a party or buffet meal. Enchiladas turn out great. In a regular crockpot use any of your freezer meal meat marinades you have posted recently. My family's favorite favorite meal in the crockpot is one called Key West Ribs from Pillsbury. Been making. It for probably 20 years at least. 2 1/2 lb country-style pork loin ribs 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/4 cup barbecue sauce 1 teaspoon grated lime peel 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 teaspoon grated orange peel 1/4 cup orange juice 1/2 teaspoon salt In 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker, place pork ribs. In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Pour over ribs. 2 Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 9 hours. Spoon sauce over ribs. Serve with rice and black beans, and a sprinkle of cilantro, and lime.
Love everything you do to inspire gardeners and home cooks. I just bought my first Greenstalk and am excited to plant it out. I’m headed for knee replacement surgery on May 30 so I wanted something that I could have all in one spot and take care of without having to crouch.
Good luck with your surgery! I did a partial a few years ago and now I need a partial on the other one, but I’m avoiding it and just hoping if I pretend it’s not bad that it will go away😅. Gardening definitely is more difficult when you can’t move your knees.
Luv your mom's garden! Becky fer sure grow grapes on your deer fence. Its long enough you cann grow plenty for you and deer and it will keep them from trying to get anything else. As for water you have all that draining from the house. We planted concord grapes at the end of our house gutter and it worked great.
I am so incredibly happy with my greenstalk!!!!! My things are absolutely green lush and growing better than anything I have in my raised garden beds! Broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collards, herbs, celery, green beans, etc! Just amazing!! I highly recommend this to anyone!
Mixed opinion on towers. Aesthetically towers need to be hidden by plants. Functionally, fill it with favorites and enjoy. I like most casseroles slightly overcooked, so lasagna looks good 😋
CROCKPOT TIP: Line the inside of the crockpot with a ring of parchment paper to minimize that overcooked outside edge. Love the petunias and nasturtiums.
My daughter painted strawberry sized rocks to look like strawberries. I learned from a master gardener that placing them among your flowering strawberry plants fakes birds out. They peck and learn they are not edible. Then the real berries come on and birds are over investigating. I have 2 greenstalks. One is a strawberry tower and the other is a herb tower.
I think your mom should make weekly appearances. Lol. We love her and she is a former Michigander! Love from Birch Run, Mi...we sat together at the homesteaders conference. last Oct.
Lobelia is an excellent polleniser, loves the light, doesn't survive the winter temperatures, so it's recommended to bring her inside, clip the foliage and wait for spring
Becky, I love seeing your Mom on your videos, because she just a lovely person. I wish we could afford the green stalks, because I would love to plant some herbs and vegetables in them. Thank you, Becky, for sharing your gardening and recipes.
Love your vlogs, Becky! Just want to mention that it's not recommended to cook on 'keep warm' with your slow cooker. You may want to look into it and let ghe viewers know what you find out. I would hate for antyone to get sick.
Beautiful! The lobelia was on sale because it's a cooler weather plant. It will probably languish if your temps get into the 90s. They will probably be beautiful for you for a good while. I love them, but here in my Texas zone 8 garden they won't last long. I think you're also zone 6 or 7, but probably don't get quite as hot as we do.
I love my greenstalks. But my experience has taught me to keep the drain hose leading off the concrete because when I fertilized the plants , the excess fertilizer that drained out etched our patio.
The flowers are so important for pollination. They attract bees etc big time. I might add you can eat nasturtiums. Including the flowers from memory. The leaves have a peppery taste. And the sides of that Lasagna look absolutely perfect! I'd eat all those crispy side. Way too good for the chickens.
Thanks for sharing your greenstalks with us! Just an idea that I did this past summer here is Oz...I made a kitchen garden for my balcony which is closest to my kitchen...all my herbs went into the pots. It was such a great idea that some of my friends did it too, even the ones with no garden, who just had a balcony in an apartment! All we have to do is step outside and snip off what we want. I've now planted some lettuce in a mini lightweight greenhouse out there and just snip off the leaves for a salad. My veggie patch is further away from my kitchen so this worked so well for convenience! Happy planting!
I just came in from our garden and 100 tomatoe plants fighting and water spraying off spider mites. Now plan to go and spray with Neem Oil and say a prayer this takes care of them and our Good Lord watches over our garden while we travel north. We leave tomorrow morning. Yes the view from your folks home is awesome. That is what I did for one of my grow towers is all strawberries. I have to replant some as only 50 % of my roots took. I didn't get them planted as soon as I received them so that may be on me. You now just taught this ole girl something about strawberries. I will now take runners and plant them into the wells that root did not take. I will do that as soon as we get back and then plant the other with herbs. Oh happy gardening even fighting afids and spider mites. I hope I drowned ours all out.
I wonder what it's like to have parents that have a house. This house has an amazing view and layout and is so well taken care of. Just like Becky's house. Both of the homes featured on Becky's channel are stunning! Definitely rich people goals but it's fun to dream about having land and a beautiful home to entertain! With prices how they are I think dreaming is all people can do! I'm thinking about buying the trellis, I think it'd be easy on a small balcony along with my grow bags. If anyone bought it and has opinions I'd love to hear them. I'm sure everyone has their ups and downs but Becky's life is absolutely amazing, I can't imagine how awesome her childhood was with two working parents and an actual backyard! I'm excited to see more on the landscaping project!
Becky I learned when gardening that when you make the place to plant your seedlings, water it first before you plant your seedling…it helps them grow well.
Those white strawberries are pineberries, and they taste a bit like pineapple. You have to plant around 4 regular strawberry plants with each pineberry for pollination because pineberries don't self pollinate
I can understand that you overwhelm yourself. You try to do to much at one time. Try slowing down and enjoy each project that you do and maybe just one or two At the same time instead of 5 or 6 🙂
I love the Koi pond! My kitty flipped mine out 1 night oh no I cried! Love love the greenstocks gave me ideas I have herbs growing to I plant them in my flower gardens too love your Mom Becky your so lucky to have that adult friend relationship with your Mom she's awesome! ❤😊
Always so fun to see you and your mom doing a project together. Strawberries on the lower levels for the grandkids, what a sweet idea! As you were planting your own beanstalks and sharing about being overwhelmed with choices, and losing sight of then returning to the starting goal, I realized that I have been implementing that same approach recently. Feeling overwhelmed is so familiar, but taking a step back and regrouping, simplifying, these are new to me. And I learned it from you. 🙂 I so enjoy how you give us the whole picture, not just the familiar or successful bits. You’re not afraid to learn as you go, and that makes your videos so much more interesting. Thank you.

Crockpot tip: to stop things becoming watery you can place a tea towel between the lid and pot to catch the condensation
When you were on your patio and feeling so frustrated I just wanted to give you a big hug and say “you’ve got this girl”.
So if you had another green stock you could put the runners into another container then the runners will easily grow then cut them after they root for better success.
I love it when your mom is in your videos. Together you are so adorable and fun. :)
Thank you so much, Susan, Becky’s Mom

Hawaiian strawberries are also called hula berries. They are very small, and send out TONS of runners! Taste like a baby pineapple!
Your mom has the size of garden that I like, love it!
I love your mom and now I know where you get your optimism from. Both yours and your mom's green stalks are going to be beautiful when the reach maturity. They are lovely now.
Your parents have a beautiful view! I love you being with your mom. She is a delight! ❤️
Hello Becky!
The reverse strawberry is called a pine berry. We love ours.
In England we call the tiny ones they grow tall in shady damp areas alpine strawberries.
No wonder we don't understand each other half the time, same words different language 🥰
Those pine berries/ Alpine strawberries are yummy but holy cow are they bullies in the garden. I’m currently ripping them out of my ground patch and moving them to a green stalk.
I have seen them called pineberries too but maybe they are called different things in other countries, for example in the UK we say courgette or a marrow where others might say a zucchini.
Here in pa we call the small varieties “wild strawberries” these are the ones that take over as weed like plants. The white strawberries (usually sold in stores) are pine berries bc they are a pineapple strawberry flavor. And then strawberry plants that you buy are just strawberries
I went to plant my strawberries in my tower and found a mass of grass, was a wren's nest with four babies... have to wait

They aren’t stacked correct look at your last 4
Dollar tree has their version of the green stalk as well. Not as sturdy or as large but def MUCH cheaper.
Beautiful day to spend with your mom. Happy Mother’s day to you, the moms in your family & all the mom’s in this awesome community.

You might try a crock pot that allows you to program a start time and stop time.
There ARE all-year fruiting strawberry plants. But Mom would have to move the Greenstalk indoors, for the winter.
One thing I've learned from Laura on Garden Answer is that Petunias are every heavy feeders. You need to give them some fertilizer OFTEN.
I just LOVE YOUR MOTHER!
🇦🇺You could put the crock pot on a timer. The timer goes into the power point and the crock plugs into the timer. The timer has an on and off function.
This is so cool! I can see an herb garden right out your kitchen door! One for flowers !
When assembling your Greenstalks, make sure the holes in the blue water dish is lined up to the center of the pockets, so it hits the plant's roots.
Yeah!! Best part of the day is when there is a new Acre video.
Love when mom is on. Love her enthusiasm for all things!! We of course love Becky too!!!
Love when you and your mom work together. She is such an entailing lady.
Thank you so much, Susan, Becky’s Mom
I would love to see your mom’s garden in the summer months to see how it fills in.
I grow Nasturtiums as edible flowers for our salads as well as marigolds
Are you able to grow fruit and nut trees?❤. And dont forget you can eat the peppery leaves and flowers of the nasturtiums. Great in salads❤
Love your mums little garden 😍
Another great ever bearing strawberry is Seascape. They produce big, sweet strawberries. Your mom will have beautiful strawberries before long.

You will have to show us updates on your moms garden and green stalk later in the summer.
We've started strawberries in our greenstalk. As for your lasagna, I've seen people use frozen ravioli instead of lasagna noodles
You need a sprinkler head on the hose so you can get a spray and won’t overwater 💕

Look into a Victoro steam canner. NO light no big pots of water. Love mine. So easy
Becky - maybe consider doing a thorny berry (blackberry or raspberry) along your deer fence. The thorns will keep most pests out of them.
Beautiful! The lobelia was on sale because it's a cooler weather plant. It will probably languish if your temps get into the 90s. They will probably be beautiful for you for a good while.

The flowers are so important for pollination. They attract bees etc big time. I might add you can eat nasturtiums. Including the flowers from memory. The leaves have a peppery taste. And the sides of that Lasagna look absolutely perfect! I'd eat all those crispy side. Way too good for the chickens.
Thanks for sharing your greenstalks with us! Just an idea that I did this past summer here is Oz...I made a kitchen garden for my balcony which is closest to my kitchen...all my herbs went into the pots. It was such a great idea that some of my friends did it too, even the ones with no garden, who just had a balcony in an apartment! All we have to do is step outside and snip off what we want. I've now planted some lettuce in a mini lightweight greenhouse out there and just snip off the leaves for a salad. My veggie patch is further away from my kitchen so this worked so well for convenience! Happy planting!
I use a mixture of ground beef and Italian sausage in my lasagna. I think the flowers being different varieties will be gorgeous!
We absolutely ❤ crockpot lasagne!
Recipe we use subs cottage cheese instead of Ricotta, tastes fab.
I just came in from our garden and 100 tomatoe plants fighting and water spraying off spider mites. Now plan to go and spray with Neem Oil and say a prayer this takes care of them and our Good Lord watches over our garden while we travel north. We leave tomorrow morning. Yes the view from your folks home is awesome. That is what I did for one of my grow towers is all strawberries. I have to replant some as only 50 % of my roots took. I didn't get them planted as soon as I received them so that may be on me. You now just taught this ole girl something about strawberries. I will now take runners and plant them into the wells that root did not take. I will do that as soon as we get back and then plant the other with herbs. Oh happy gardening even fighting afids and spider mites. I hope I drowned ours all out.
I wonder what it's like to have parents that have a house. This house has an amazing view and layout and is so well taken care of. Just like Becky's house. Both of the homes featured on Becky's channel are stunning! Definitely rich people goals but it's fun to dream about having land and a beautiful home to entertain! With prices how they are I think dreaming is all people can do!
I'm thinking about buying the trellis, I think it'd be easy on a small balcony along with my grow bags. If anyone bought it and has opinions I'd love to hear them.
I'm sure everyone has their ups and downs but Becky's life is absolutely amazing, I can't imagine how awesome her childhood was with two working parents and an actual backyard!
I'm excited to see more on the landscaping project!
I'll be moving to Tennessee very soon I can't wait until I can grow a garden at my new house 🤗 ❤
Becky I learned when gardening that when you make the place to plant your seedlings, water it first before you plant your seedling…it helps them grow well.
I had my husband put wheels on my whiskey / wine barrel planters and it has definitely been a game-changer! So much easier to move around.
Those white strawberries are pineberries, and they taste a bit like pineapple. You have to plant around 4 regular strawberry plants with each pineberry for pollination because pineberries don't self pollinate
Good to know, I had no idea! Blessings, Susan, Becky’s Mom
I can understand that you overwhelm yourself.
You try to do to much at one time.
Try slowing down and enjoy each project that you do and maybe just one or two
At the same time instead of 5 or 6 🙂
The greenstalks look so pretty!! Try using your crockpot for lasagna soup, it's so good!!
I love the Koi pond! My kitty flipped mine out 1 night oh no I cried! Love love the greenstocks gave me ideas I have herbs growing to I plant them in my flower gardens too love your Mom Becky your so lucky to have that adult friend relationship with your Mom she's awesome! ❤😊
Thank you so much, Susan, Becky’s Mom
Always so fun to see you and your mom doing a project together. Strawberries on the lower levels for the grandkids, what a sweet idea! As you were planting your own beanstalks and sharing about being overwhelmed with choices, and losing sight of then returning to the starting goal, I realized that I have been implementing that same approach recently. Feeling overwhelmed is so familiar, but taking a step back and regrouping, simplifying, these are new to me. And I learned it from you. 🙂 I so enjoy how you give us the whole picture, not just the familiar or successful bits. You’re not afraid to learn as you go, and that makes your videos so much more interesting. Thank you.
