- Pests may have destroyed the garden, but we can't give up. Our goals for self-sufficiency mean we don't buy any vegetables from outside sources...so we need to pivot and make the most of what we have!

We had frost at 3am today oct 7th.... stuff was covered... thanks to mama.. I totally missed it putting new pvc window trim up this weekend ans fancy caulking. She saved me and never said a word.. wifey gets a cookie..
Soooo frustrating. I had a big slug problem this spring and it's heartbreaking to see your plants just destroyed overnight when you've put so much into them. Way to keep your chin up.
So sorry your having garden issues. Enjoy your videos as always.❤❤❤
I've heard before that if you make water available for thirsty creatures during drought times you may have less pest issues. I had something taking big bites out of tomatoes during some dry weeks this summer, so I put a container of fresh water outside my garden fence and it seemed to help.
You are an inspiration to us all! Every year that I watch your videos I increase my harvest of crops. Learning as I grow my increasing harvest and preserving thanks to you and your family!
I’m dealing with major pest pressures this fall as well. Also Arkansas, also planted carrots FOUR times, 72 foot row, going to end up with about 20 individual carrots if I’m lucky. Planted 24 foot row of beets 3 times as well…not any got bigger than sprouts. Between rabbits squeezing thru the fence, army worms, cutworms, and birds pulling up seedlings, this fall garden is a bust. Will try again in the spring. Thanks for the video Becky, helps to know others are dealing with this also, your outlook is admirable, especially as y’all rely on your garden so much!
I hope the Lord blesses all your hard work. Your family works so hard for what you eat. Good luck Becky and family.
Raccoons and porcupines ate my corn the night before harvest. I donot mind the mice or voles eating a few beets but when they are like Goldilocks and trying each one, anibble here a nibble there ,so no beets this year
Oh Becky, what a fight this fall has been so far! Go easy, I hope you still can have some crops without little visitors! Much love from Portugal ❤
There's always setbacks and trade offs and nature will always be a challenge. You guys do great and work hard, stay positive. :)
Can you go over in a video the ways you've researched things what you have found for products to use. And where you get your seeds and when you know when it's ready to plant from the greenhouse and how you plant them what do you stick inside the ground before you plant them how deep do you plant them things like that please please and a very big thank you
I like the way you have stored your row cover. Could you please show how you do that?
Fun fact, tomato hornworms are black where I live. If they are exposed to extreme heat, they change to black. Because of videos like yours, I knew what they look like(when they are green). My husband found it and couldn't figure it out and I was like, is that a black tomato hornworm?? Turns out it was 😂
Maybe dig a moat around the greenhouse.
I don't know if it would be something that you would be interested in doing in the future, but have you considered having a pond built on your property? Might help keep some animals out of your fields. Maybe even plant some throw away crops near it just to try and lead things away from the garden. Just an idea to think about.
That's a very good idea! Helps out the wildlife too.
Yes, a good idea! We have 3 ponds already on the property. But none are super close to the garden.
Pests are the worst! I went to mow in my garden and a rat shot out of the push mower towards me. I about had a heart attack! I've been scared to go into the garden since. Have you ever had to deal with rats? If so, what did you do?
Can you swap with somebody for carrots?
What was the package you added to the pale when you said you were going to plant shelling peas song? And then you put a bag of seeds in a white bucket again and you added some more of that stuff
Inoculant for peas…it contains live culture of nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria
There are many different issues to consider, and failure to consider relevant issues can result in an awful situation, or situations.
Regarding myself I been busy learning about how to grow, and other topics as well. Building a garden without properly understanding how to grow is a mistake. Because you, and other people who are like you could end becoming reliant do to failing at learning how to grow.
I made mistakes as well to grow food when I started learning, and I eventually learned what I did wrong. I am planning to build a garden, so I been looking at the process of how this is done. If you are not interested to learn on your own then I think you might as well buy food from outside sources.
You might have some food that successfully grown. I think what should be concerning to you is what kind of pests you have, and if they are still there. Having pests can be a serious problem, for whatever is growing, and I am not sure about if, or how it would effect humans.

I have a thesis.Too greedy and material results oriented, nature revenge against that. Sorry 4 telling
You're insane
