Becky, we put a mailbox in our garden for garden tools, and it has been amazing!! Clippers, scissors, small hand tools, twine, all the stuff! It doesn't get wet, you don't have to run back and forth...I HIGHLY recommend it!!!
Great idea 💡 I did that years ago from someone else teaching me and it’s brilliant!!!! 📪
Love that idea, thank you for sharing
That is an awesome idea!
@@chrislepere42 awesome idea, and some mailboxes are so cute!!
that is a great idea , but some people like Becky might not put things back in there, I had a tool apron belt like thing so you carry it around
My Grandfather set a 4x4 post in his garden and put an old mailbox on it. He stored garden hand tools and a pair of gloves in it. When my Grandparents passed away I took their mailbox for my garden. I smile every time I open it and I tell my Grandfather hello.
Beautiful...
That is an awesome idea! Love it!
I have my grandfathers mailbox in my garden also. My granddaughter painter flowers on it & my grandfathers name on the front so everyone who comes in my garden knows it was his. I luv it👍
Hello, here's a hack for you. Put all your bean pods in a pillow case. Hold the open end closed. Take your pillow case bag and smack it on the ground, over and over. All the loose beans will be shelled in the bottom of the sack. Easy hack. 😊
Do the same with the wheat.
Sounds very therapeutic!
I know most peoples comments are 100% well meaning but, to me a fully prepared Becky having everything she needs in well organised places! Just wouldn’t be Becky to me 😀 I love spotting a coffee cup, a glove or a random zucchini sitting on her garden beds. It makes me chuckle and brightens my day.
Dnt worry I'm sure she will still forget she has a mail box
It is refreshing to see real life in TH-cam. I really appreciate her and the effort she puts in all her work
I adore that you garden and cook in your slippers. You truly make me feel like I am a good friend who's been invited over to share in your passions, garden, cooking and home. Bless you for bringing us with you.
I was thinking the same thing 😊
Becky. Put a small waterproof letterbox on one of the trellises to store your scissors and gloves in your garden. That way they are always available in the garden
Brilliant 🎉
My grandafather uses to grow wheat in Sicily many years ago. A few times when my brother and I were children he gave us braided wheat bouquets. The " handle" of the bouquet was the most impressive part, really intricate, braided using more wheat stems. My grandfather was the only one in my family who knew how to do it.
I really really hate slugs when I lived in Florida they were left there were lots of them
Floridian here, and i hate slugs.Ugh ! So fat from eating everything they mulch down their fat throats.Yuck @cherylmorgan5007
I can't tell you how nice it is to have your voiceover track than TH-cam's awful canned music. It makes your videos sooo much nicer without it. Plus we get more of your thoughts this way. You're doing a great job, Becky & Josh. 🙂👍
Becky, try planting marigolds around your tomatoes. They will deter all sorts of pests including slugs and snails.
I can't take credit for this. It came from "More than Farmers" youtube. They put their dry bean pods in an old pillow case and hit it on the ground. It shelled the beans. Than they used a fan to get rid of the shaff.
I am new to your channel, and I absolutely love it! You amaze me, I have never seen anyone work as hard as you do with harvesting and preserving. It’s something that I wish I could do, but am unable to do from my wheelchair. I can still watch you (& your mother in law) and dream.
Try narrower beds and more horizontal planting. I was able to work my raised garden beds from a seated position when I broke my leg and was non weight bearing for months. Of course my garden was much smaller than Becky’s but some gardening got done.
Maybe you could keep an old sheet to lay on the gravel before harvesting to make clean up easier.
Or a dollar store shower curtain!
Or tarp
Leaf blower
We use a tarp. Wonderful
@@danacrow-qt5dz yikes, no. Keep the phthalates off those organic veggies. sheet is the way to go!
I watch some other you tubers they put their bean pods in a pillow case and toss it around the beans come out easily then they throw pods to compost thought hmmm good idea
More than Farmers? Love them 💚
@deanasharp4775 that would be a great idea, and no sore fingers from pulling them all
Thank you!
I planted my wild flower patch after you encouraged me. They are starting to bloom, and it's LOVELY. I see new flowers every day 😍
I’ve never seen a gardner do a harvest in bedroom slippers 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I have done it too many y tines haha😅. God bless!
My dad did all his lawn and garden work in his slippers...funny memory. Never wore them anywhere else.
@@kathymatte7951 ❤️
@@missmartpants2269 me too!
Thanks for the inspiration! As you always say to us followers, I say to you "Thanks for being you!" I see you in the future and I tell you this is a foundation time for many wonderful opportunities for you, and Josh! Thank you for being a phenomenal educational space for someone that loves to learn and does not watch tv.
To make the clean-up of the gravel walkway easier, before you harvest, lay down a painter's tarp. That way you can just pick it up with all the trash/discards, etc. and just dispose of it that way.
Watching this before my job interview did wonders for my anxiety. Thank you for always uploading comfy videos!!
Good luck!
Good luck!
Hello acre family. Best wishes to everyone.
Hello to you as well ❤❤❤
The size of that walk-out basement is such a blessing you given the scale of your gardening/preservation efforts. it makes it so much easier to manage!
@@AB-ol5uz yes.. I would put in a "canning kitchen" down there, ..with a huge, deep sink...and a commercial french door fridge, another freezer and a large stainless counter on wheels ..no need to lug veggies into the home kitchen ..dunk and rinse/prep/freeze/can...all the mess and fuss stays down there...cooking and meal prep upstairs ..(in my world)
Becky, when you do the bean harvest next time, carry a tarp out and place it down on the ground where you can spread it out then drive your wheelbarrow onto it . Then you do your picking and whatever falls on it you could have easier clean up and nothing getting on your path! Just a thought 😊. So enjoy your channel! ❤❤❤
I love your pink fuzzy slippers in the garden. Makes me feel at home! Beautiful onions!
Becky, I just found your website recently. I can identify with all your canning and freezing. I love watching you and I follow each step. I used to do the same in my younger years (bushels of apples, green beans, peas, peaches, etc.). The only thing I didn’t do was pressure canning. I am now 81 years old and only have tomatoes and green peppers. I am now living vicariously through you!! Love everything you do. Thanks for sharing your life with us. P.S. Can’t wait to see what you do with the wheat.
Wow, those were some massive onions! Great job Becky
Good morning Becky (5am here)
May God bless you and your family. With love from Australia 🇦🇺
Becky, I love coming along with you on your planting and harvesting adventures. I know nothing about growing food but as time goes on it's becoming vital knowledge. I love seeing your joy and satisfaction in the process, and I look forward to the day when I can use the knowledge I'm learning from you!
I'm very excited to see the Wheat harvest. All your tomatoes are beautiful as well.
The bounty from your garden is a blessing. You will be able to enjoy your efforts all winter long.
I love a mailbox in the garden for tools
Wow Becky, You gave me a new way to harvest black beans that makes a lot o sense to me😊 My fav meal with cooking black beans is serving over a bed of my curry rice along with steamed yams 😊
Becky, I commented on getting a leaf blower for the wheat. But it would probably help a lot with cleaning the gravel up too. Hope you're having a great day.
The blower is a fantastic idea…I use my blower on low to put debris to the edge of my garden to pick up with a rake. Works perfect every time.
Hi Becky and Acre friends 🎉😊
Hey there.
Loved the sound of the bees working - the hum is the sound of a productive garden. I💗🐝
fuzzy garden slippers are a MUST!! ❤
Use a yard blower thing to blow all the loose stuff in one area
As you were cutting the wheat…. In my head came the song…. Bringing in the sheaves…… lol
I love watching you harvest everything my poor old body won't let me do it anymore
Hey Becky - we have always put large Copper nails in the soil to ward off slugs. My grandpa said the metallic reaction with their slime shocked them. Just push them down in the soil. Hope it works!
If you have a leaf blower use it around your gravel for easy cleanup. Your garden looks great and I love watching all the things you do! Keep making people smile😊
I was gonna suggest the same thing. They have low blow versions that we use for our artificial turf.
Hi Becky, a cordless blower is very good for stone floors. DeWalt DCMBL562N or Bosch GBL 18V-750
Hi Becky, I have been watching you for about a year now or just under that. I have been watching you on my tv , I just went on my phone to subscribe to your channel. I just wanted to let you know how much I love your content, and how I have learned many things, I am almost a 60year old woman who has been working through Severe PTSD, due to multiple traumatic experiences , your content and TH-cam channel has been a blessing to me, I live in Australia and I am a Christian who loves Jesus. I just wanted to let you know how your channel has helped me on really hard days. You may not have realised how much of a blessing your channel is, love your character, and content, garden, harvesting, and especially cooking, I can’t watch many things , but your channel I can, it is very therapeutic and healing. God bless you and your family. Regards Jodie ❤
Good evening Becky. You must be so proud of how your channel is growing ❤️
For really big Walla Walla onions plant them in the fall like your garlic
Such a blessing to have such abundance from the garden!
Ohhh, how exciting with how big your onions got this year!!! So awesome! ❤ Great overall harvest, Becky!!! 😁😁😁
Becky I don't know if you know this or if has ever said but if you take your dried bean pods in a pillow case and gently smack it on the deck the beans will separate from the pod and be so much faster than shelling by hand. my grandma taught me that
Even with the wind damage your garden is still beautiful and overflowing.❤💙💜🦋🙏🏻
I have gravel too. I use my leaf blower to keep the debris off it. Sometimes you might need to use a broom to free it up but it works like a charm.
4:10am in Australia but I'm very happy to see a Becky video anytime!
Australia 🇦🇺 visited 2008 World Youth Day very beautiful place
If you have a barrel in your garden half filled with water you can put all your weeds in to decompose & turn to nutrients for your garden.....dont throw over the fence they will grow
Walla Walla and vidalia are not the same. Walla Walla are round while Vidalia are more flat. Flavor wise, Vidalia are generally much sweeter and milder, while Walla Walla have a more complex flavor.
Hi Becky, my Mom and I enjoy watching your vlogs. We wish you the best. Love from Illinois. ❤❤❤
30 seconds and already 21 likes! We were ready to pounce 😂
I love it.
I’ve seen gardeners use a metal mailbox to store small gardening tools and gloves. They are protected from the rain also🍅🍅
At the end of the tow you should have a box with gloves a small shovel and rose pruning cutters some twine - because you loose things often.
For keeping tools in the garden out of the elements… an old, or even new mailbox makes a nice dry place.
I also cut my bean plants at the soil surface and let the roots stay in the ground over winter. The nitrogen the beans fix from the atmosphere stays in the soil! And, the plants decompose and add organic material to the soil.
Nothing better than a video from my fav channel when I'm down in bed with a cold 🤗
Same
Same! Thanks, Becky
@@littleapostleamy4150hope you feel better as well.
Becky you always encourage me to be a better wife and I am so thankful for you. I am 56 and wish I had done all this when I was younger.
You grew a beautiful harvest of onions this year.I bet you are so proud
Beautiful harvest! We got a Stihl leafblower for our walkways and driveways works great
I am so ready to try this!!! I was volunteering for habitat to learn some building skills. Love it!!! But had a little accident so surgery is next Friday and then I have 10-12 weeks no weight recovery so I’ll have plenty of time to get ready for spring. I hope you do the seeds again this year so we can grow together.
Hey Becky…..just a thought. If you go to Lowe’s and ask for the large cardboard dividers that their doors come with, go to a local furniture store and ask for large cardboard boxes that their larger furniture pieces are packed in, or go to an appliance store and ask for washer, dryer, oven or refrigerator boxes ….you can have a large paper surface to dry your produce on. During seasons when it’s not being used, simply store it standing upright behind a wall or door in your basement area if you have one. I actually have a pretty large piece of cardboard I use to cover a card table and when I fry anything like chicken, I do it in the garage and use the cardboard on the card table as my work surface. Otherwise the oil spatters on the floor when I’m cooking. Sounds hillbilly BUT it keeps from heating up the house inside during the summer heat and it also prevents the smell of frying from being absorbed into my fabric in the house such as draperies and upholstery and even bedding. Hope this helps!
Get a wagon ! I love my wagons !!!
Yes! Wagons and Gorilla Carts are so much easier to manage than a wheelbarrow. No risk of tipping over. Leaves one hand free to carry a drink, etc.
We are traveling by boat on the America’s Great Loop. We rode our bikes into Holland Michigan today. It is a Netherlands town. I saw Banket at the bakery. I kept thinking why do I know what this is. Then it came to me. I learned it from you. Thanks for being you!!!
I discovered your channel a couple months ago and I instantly fell in love with your content. There is something so special about you that is inspiring, joyous and really fun. I find myself doing more and more chores and things in my home and yard because I see how energetic and efficient you are!
Attach a mailbox to one of your garden fences .Then put some purrs, scissors, and gloves inside . This way you have told that are central to your garden produce ! I have one in. My garden and its saving me time for when I harvest .
Amazing harvest! So awesome! You are such an inspiration Becky! ❤
Girl, put down a tarp when you harvest like this! I learned some tips professionally landscaping that I was like ‘why didn’t I do this sooner?!’ And that is one, hope it helps!
Hi Becky, I love your huge harvests and your garden is amazing. So beautyful and abundant. I'm looking forward to your tomato preservation videos also. Happy Gardening💕🤗
Becky , for easy garden path cleanup get a small leaf blower that is cordless, you can just blow all the leaves etc into one spot and then scoop them up. Plus its fun lol
I got you up on the 75in TV!! ❤❤❤ your videos!!
Does anyone else think...you're going to need a bigger basket?
LoL 😅! Yep!
😂😂yes indeed 😂😂
Bigger would be difficult to manage....but definitely a few extras or like another woman I watch, a big wagon!
I thought she had a wagon, but maybe she is surprised by the bounty.
A blower would make short work of cleaning the gravel in your garden area so it doesn't attract weeds to sprout from the compost material.
You might want to think about planting a wind break. That could spare the garden during storms.
Hello Becky. Loving how you are tramping about in the garden, in your house slippers. Lovely harvest. X
My 3 year old loves to help shell the beans! It’s a fun activity for us to do together ❤
We had gravel paths in our garden at our last house. A leaf blower was an absolute must for keeping them clean.
I saw a video that slugs like beer. If you put some on a shallow container that should help
LOVE seeing your bees in the garden helping out!!❤❤❤
I smiled when I could hear and see the giant bumble bee buzzing around. ❤
$2 for years and years of harvest!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
So glad to see that beautiful harvest with all the hard work you put into that 🥰 i lost 90% of my fall harvest to an epic storm so wish me better weather next year😢 all the best to you all 😘
So sorry to hear that! Better luck next year. Maybe you can grow some fall crops?
Hi Becky. I grew dry beans for the 1st time this year & Im hooked! The channel More Than Farmers showed a great way to get the beans out of the pods. They put them in a pillow case & beat it on the ground. The pods open & beans fall to the bottom.
Becky, what an amazing reward to be able to have such yield for all that you've sown and nurtured. I'm in a townhome on a zero lot and I'm thinking of starting some green stocks to try growing some things I usually purchase for my family. All because you've shown me it's possible. It will be a great lesson for my kids as well.
Becky for a place to store garden tools I got an old mailbox from a barn sale. I use the old mailbox in my garden to store tools! I had it just sitting among the plants for a while until my handy man put it on a post buried in a 5 gal bucket! It works great and keeps my tools dry!
Chop up some tomatoes, add salt and let it sit for a while. Drain and set aside the tomato water. Add minced garlic and olive oil to the tomatoes and let it combine, add some fresh basil or thyme and put it on good toast. I ate so much of this one year - it makes a fantastic snack. And if there's a lot of tomato water after, make a bloody Mary! I also make roasted cherry tomatoes with garlic, thyme and oil and I have never been able to add them to anything because I eat them too quickly. A little char is key. I didn't have a gharden this year and now I'm bummed. Thanks for letting me into yours!
If you use a leaf blower it will get all that debris out of your gravel easily. I love the mailbox idea for your garden. I think you need some random bins, possibly Rubbermaid type trash cans, here and there for weeds and other debris so you’re not throwing it in your lawn area or piling it in the isles. This will allow you a more tidy garden area without running to the compost pile frequently. You can empty the bins with a garden cart a couple times a season.
Becky you really need a pair of Felco pruning shears for harvesting your tomatoes, pumpkins and various garden items. They are an excellent addition to your garden tools, along with a leaf blower for helping with clean up. I watch your videos regularly and get great enjoyment watching you cook and garden.
I hope we get to watch the rest of the harvest!! Love your videos. Was hoping to see the sunroom finished. Maybe i missed that video. I try to never miss your videos...⚘️⚘️
My understanding is that when you were drying onions, you want to place the onion bulbs in the center with each other and let all the green tops lay outward from the center of a lineup. That allows the onions to dry safely and cure better. Otherwise, the green onion tops have a lot of moisture in them and they can keep the onionbulbs from drying adequately.
Hi Becky I just had ankle surgery and I’m in bed watching all your videos over and over again!
Speedy recovery
@@chinyerenwahiri2392 thank you 😊
Becky, just love your passion for gardening ! 💗. I have garden envy 🤣😂. Enjoy your channel because you are so REAL. 🥰
Hey Becky. I have an idea for your wheat, if you are going to try another crop next year. Now I am not a gardener, by any means but I’m thinking if you planted your wheat in those cages like you did with your romaine tomatoes, would that help them stand up to windy weather? Now don’t laugh! It is probably an impossible idea but it was just a thought. 😅 love your garden!
I have grown all kinds of beans from store bought beans...no need to buy from seed companies, I also grow string beans from saved seeds.If you have string beans that went to seed harvest them because they make the best soup beans.Another thing I've done is to buy the 5 lb bag of pinto beans and plant them close together ,then when they are leafed out well turned them into soil it's green manure for next year
Girl, you might want to get some clippers... yanking tomatoes and stuff off of their vines can reduce the fruit still attached from getting what they need from that weakened vine. Gorgeous garden!
Becky, you mentioned about storing some hand tools closer to your beds. I saw another garden video where the had a mounted mailbox and stored snippets, trowels, gloves, etc. in it. I bet you could get a cute painted one (maybe with flowers or chickens on it) and mount it out in your garden for convenience 😊
super curious what you found out about which variety was patterson vs walla walla! thanks as always for a lovely time out in the garden 💜
The larger ones are Walla Walla. They are more white in color.
Have you tried to use a leaf blower to blow the leaf litter up against the fence and through to grass behind? Just a suggestion.
Awesome productivity from your raised beds! You might want to consider building some hanging racks in your basement -to hang drying onions, wheat, beans etc. However, if you hang anything with seeds, make sure that there is fabric or paper to catch them if they open. Great video
