Good evening friends. I don't usually comment too much on here even though I'm a regular viewer. Becky ignited my love for gardening and I have started my first flower bed and even grown some tomatoes and peppers as well. Today I harvested flowers to make an arrangement for my mother who is in the ICU with a bowel blockage just one week after my dad was in a motorcycle accident and suffered a punctured lung, cracked ribs and a small brain bleed. He is miraculously recovering but is also beyond exhausted as he should be resting in order to recuperate but has been at the hospital every day with my mother. Mom is 81 and dad is 78. Would you all please keep my family in your prayers? Our heads are absolutely spinning. My mom needs a miracle and we know that we serve a miracle working God! ❤ Thank you all so much.
Volunteers are always the strongest and best to save seed from because they have acclimated themselves to your garden and area. Often times they have the best taste as well which makes them even better.
volunteers are the best! i just moved so im still on the first year of my garden but im doing my best to get seeds developed !! hoping for more volunteers in the future :)
Sweet Pea is the scent of my childhood. I had a purple, pink n white bedroom - my Dad grew those colours in his garden and gave me a bunch every week in season for my dresser - I loved him for that. ❤
Becky-I just love your enthusiasm. I feel you. I’m 59 and have gardened my whole life and I STILL smile and have the overflowing excitement walking out into my garden! I’ve watched you grow and grow your business and family. Congratulations! Well done. You bring so much joy to my world! 🙏🏻
Becky just a tip about your sweet peas. My mother grew them for many years and to keep them blooming. You need to cut the flowers and cut off the seed pods so that they sprout new flowers. Otherwise they will bloom once and quit.
Me too, and I have such a small garden. But I put down something after being distracted then forget about them 😂😂 someone suggested for Becky to put a mailbox up mid way in her garden to keep a few tools and gloves. I thought that was a great idea.
Read the story of the little red hen to your young child after you show them the wheat that you are growing. Include them when you harvest, grind your wheat and bake it into bead. Even though your child is still a toddler these kind of things build huge experiential meaning for them.
Hi Becky, your garden looks fantastic! Please know that the more you pick your sweet peas the more blooms you will get… That will ensure that they stay vigourous and beautiful!
Im 82 years young and can know longer do gardening so you are a breath of freah air, thank you for sharing you bring some joy in my life thank you becky❤😊😊
Your garden is beautiful and very productive. I am glad you removed the black tarps from your beds. I love how you plant "free style" by sowing seeds any where you have an open spot. That also makes your garden much more interesting. Can't wait to see how you harvest the wheat. Congratulations to Josh on his successful beekeeping efforts. 🐝🐝 Happy Gardening!! 🌱🦋🌱🤗
Becky, if you keep picking the sweet pea flowers they will keep flowering for months. Don't let them set any seed pods because they think they have done their job (ie reproduced) and don't need to flower again once they pod. I can imagine the scent- my grandmother's garden. BTW did you know you can eat nasturtiums- the flowers and leaves are lovely in salad. The leaves are a little peppery and delicious!
I hope your family camp out was awesome! I love the changes in the garden when we’ve been gone and all things are growing and being well watered. 🌱 😊 🌺
The thumbnail make me so happy ❤ Becky , this is what I had been dreaming off . Having my own garden and drink my morning coffee , talk to my plan, harvest them and work more in the garden after dropping off my kids from school . We can’t afford any single home/ or land yet but now I am growing in my balcony garden . It makes me happy and my kids love to dig my soil and my vegetable hardly survive but they have fun and I try 😅
Hi Becky, it's okay if your potato plants don't flower because not all varieties flower and flowering isn't necessary for potato plants to produce tubers. Flowering and tuber production can happen at the same time, but they aren't connected. Other factors that can affect whether a potato plant flowers include the conditions like heat and water.
The zinnias! They are so exciting! What really got me was the bees sleeping on the flowers ❤ That's so sweet! The snapdragons and dahlias are stunning. I am so happy for you!
YES!!!!!❣️❣️❣️❣️ My day has just been made! Love looking for Becky's videos. Becky, you are a breath of fresh air sweetheart❣️ Such a lady and precious human being❣️ I admire you and your loving family. Watching you and your mom makes me feel like my mama is giving me a hug every single time. We got together and put together huge family events. I miss her, my daddy and all those special times together. Cherish every second you have together.
Beautiful Garden! I love love your zinnias ❤. I have seen gardeners that grow pumpkins on a trellis use nylon stockings tied to the trellis to support the weight of the pumpkins. It is definitely incredible to see the growth that has happened. I can’t wait to see your dahlias in bloom.
I hope you have time to video your activities in the garden on this day. Just set up a camera and let it roll. I've watched paint dry with you (lol) and enjoyed every minute, so watching you work in the garden would be lovely. Your flower beds are absolutely stunning, and makes me happy just to look.
It’s funny with those volunteer plants. I constantly find lavender in between my tiles, but when i try to move them into the dirt, they then decide they didnt like that and dies on me. I also have a 3 or 4 year old volunteer blackberry bush that started to grow from the rain drain, and I just decided to let it stay. it’s gonna give me so many berries this year.
This year is my first time really trying to garden, after watching you for two years. I learn so much from you, thank you for sharing your knowledge and learnings!
Lots going on in your garden! You must be doing something right! I love when your dad talks to the potatoes on his ‘treasure’ hunt! Glad you’re doing well! Blessings!💐🥔🍅🫛🫘
I just harvest a gazillion coriander seeds from my bolted cilantro. I have a ton of seeds to replant and use as spice if I want to. I found 3 volunteer tomato plants growing in my garlic I overwintered this winter. The tomato plants are getting huge. I just harvested my onions and have diced and frozen 38# and I have dehydrated 3 loads AND still have onions in the garden...😮
It's so fun seeing all your hard work sowing seeds coming to life and thriving! I'm a local and have been watching your journey for a few years. Thank you so much for the inspiration and work putting out videos. Cheering you guys on!
Becky, I do not garden myself, but enjoy watching you and your cooking videos. I just want to tell you about another utber, it is called Garden Answer. Her name is Laura and she and her husband own property in eastern Oregon. She grows all kinds of things from, flowers to produce; they grow with organic soil enhancements that maybe you don’t know about. She is a wealth of knowledge and just a delight to watch. I was just thinking that you might be able to learn more than you already know from her. She produces a video per day, but they are hardly ever more than 25 minutes. Hoping you might give her a glance. I enjoy your videos very much.
Those salmon colored zinneas are beautiful...snapdragons are my favorite flower...and these are just gorgeous. I so wish I had just a small spot for a garden.....I just love looking at them in amazement at what God has blessed us with !!
Snapdragons are one of my favorite flowers. Yours look beautiful and the smell of sweet peas is just lovely! I’m older and disabled now so I can’t grow a big garden like I used to, but my husband helps me plant a few small containers with my favorites for the patio with Snapdragons, sweet pea, and hydrangeas. He has several large raised beds similar to yours and he plants Mr. Stripey, mortgage lifter and oxheart tomatoes, along with a few types of Roma tomatoes for sauce, and blue lake green beans, several types of peppers, lettuces, radishes, cucumbers, and one giant bed of herbs for me. Basil, oregano, mint, cilantro, flat leaf parsley, tarragon, chives, thyme, rosemary and sage.. I love cooking with fresh herbs and just sitting and smelling the lovely scent of the flowers!
Thankyou for posting and being so consistent Becky! Your videos help me on a daily basis! You put so much effort into each video and EVERYTHING you do. You inspire me and I’m going to create a homestead hopefully like yours in my next home - God willing 🥰♥️ be blessed xx
OMGOODNESS Becky! Absolutely gorgeous! Everything is! What a calming and peaceful place you and Josh have made for your family! Thank you for sharing! Your excitement sharing all your bounty with us is delightful. 🦋💕🥰🙏
I love watching these videos. I dont have the space for a garden this size yet but i get so much joy watching your plants grow, especially the pumpkins! Gets me in the mood for fall 😊
The hummejng bird while you were talking about eating peas while u were outside in the garden was sooo cute. He was like hey Becky good morning thank you for breakfast
Becky, consider growing grapes over the arch: you’ll not only get loads off grapes, but you’ll also get grape leaves! The different recipes of stuffed grape leaves are so much fun: there’s a cinnamon raisin flavor profile, and the Irby kind I grew up with; there’s a rice stuffing that’s generally served cold versus a meat stuffing that’s generally served hot, and I’m sure there’s all kinds of other things you can do with them, too. Another friend benefit you get some shade that you can plant under. But whatever you decide to do will be great, I know! ❤
I've seen other channels recommend cutting the tops of bean/pea/squash plants that climb the cattle panels when they are at the top of the panel. It'll then put all it's energy into creating fruit/veggies instead of growing up.
Your runner beans are not Scarlet Runner Beans. I believe they are Sunset Runner Beans or some other variety of runners. The Scarlets are bright red. The beans have to be eaten very young, but they are not as tasty or prolific as other green beans. I grow Scarlets just to make more for the next year. My hummingbirds adore them and the seeds are big and beautiful when they dry. They don't like high heat, and they don't like their leaves to get wet.
Your garden is beautiful. My husband was an advid vegetable gardner. He would always snip off the end of the vines. He said that told the plant to put its energy into growing fruit.
Have a shut off valve on each of your garden beds. It really helps to keep the watering in each bed specific for each plants needs. I love to go out in the evening and smell the petunias. They smell wonderful at twilight.
Your garden looks beautiful unfortunately I couldn't do anything this year because my daughters husband had health issues and passed away July 7th so I've been busy helping my daughter and granddaughter.
Becky it looked like the first flow hive window you opened was left open to flow. Might want to double check them so honey isn't flowing right back out before it is dehydrated to the proper humidity.
I love this journey of the growth of your garden. I was watching when you were in your grow room picking out the seeds and planting. And now to see your rewards. ❤. I’m a proud follower… lol!
I use crushed egg shells and used coffee grounds to keep slugs and snails and ants away [ ants hate the coffee smell ] and slugs/snails hate crawling over sharp edges and also hate coffee grounds , a sprinkle of rock sea salt too at base of plants too can help
Lovely garden! You are such an inspiration. When I garden now, I find myself telling my husband, "well Becky does it this way." 💐 I also ordered Zinnia's to plant for next year because they look so beautiful in your garden!
Omg I see stuffed zucchini flowers into the future. Ricotta basil parmigiana and coated in breadcrumbs and fried . Yum xxx with a tomato sauce on top xx
You're garden is soooooo beautiful 😍🥰 Im inlove.. watching you from Philippines with love.. I've been following you since you started your youtube videos and I am so so sooo happy that you now have a garden and enjoy these amazing flowers and we get to enjoy watching them with you.. I just love it..
Look at that garden grow, grow, GROW! It’s all looking lovely. Remember that the sweet pea flowers are toxic to chickens when you clean the garden out. I looks that you had a nice time away. Thank you for taking the time to film how your family pulled together meals for your camping trip.
I love watching you in your gardening journey. I saw another homesteader (The 1870 Homesteader)canning recently. She made Zucchini Bread Jam. She got her recipe from another homesteader. I don’t garden, but it sounded interesting, so I may purchase some zucchini to try it.
Beautiful flowers!!! Your garden is so plush and bountiful! I learned something new today on how to hand pollinate! Thank you 😊 Always a pleasure to watch your channel!!!!!❤ I hope you and your family had an enjoyable camping family reunion and celebration!!
Thank you, Becky for sharing your lovely garden walkthrough. I think planting so many varieties of flowers throughout your garden not only attracts a variety of pollenators, but also sparks so much joy. Not all potato varieties will bloom, so it's not a "guarantee" of good/bad harvest. Speaking of blooms, I am not certain those beans with the white blooms are scarlet runners - All the beans I've grown that said Scarlet Runner had vibrant red blossoms, though I did grow a variety from Baker Creek called Black Coat Runner bean that had a variety of pink, white, red, and almost lavender blooms so that was really fun to grow. We have luffa, Tromboncino squash, and Noodle Beans growing up arched trellises in our garden and they have really covered the whole thing! Granted, here in Georgia, it is probably hotter longer and that might make a difference in the growth habit of any vining plants. Last thing - we like to amend beds in late Autumn with "hot compost" (like chicken coop litter) and top with straw or wood chips. Then, the beds we didn't amend in Autumn get amended in early Spring with ready compost and any additional organic fertilizers get added as the plants are put in or on an "as needed" basis.
Your zinnia bed is so very cheerful!!! It is looking like you are going to have pumpkins coming out of your ears this Fall! The whole garden is so gorgeous!!
All your hard work amending your beds this spring was so worth it….look how happy all your flowers and vegetables are!!!!! I especially love your zinnias…next year I am for sure going to plant some. We move into our new home last month so this year was out for a flower or vegetable garden…but next year for sure!!!! This has been one of my favorite videos of your garden💕💕💕💕
Beer traps for slugs works a treat. And will not hurt pets or wildlife. I used them for one season and have not seen a snail or slug in my garden since. An idea for your garlic garden next year, move it to the end of the irrigation, and get Josh to put an isolator tap in for that garden bed. That way you will be able to turn the water off on that bed and the others before it will still get watered.
This video is one of my favorites of yours. Have loved watching you & it's amazing how knowledgeable you are. I'm 60 & am still learning. Have always had vegetable gardens & I love your flowers with your raised beds. Have learned many inspiring ideas here today 💛
Your garden is a dream!!! So gorgeous! I love that your pumpkins are about to escape outside your garden area over the fence into your field!!! What a scene that will be!
Hello Becky, you are so happy when you are in your Happy Place...your garden. At first (when I became your subscriber), I thought your kitchen was your happy place. Could it be you have two happy places..hummm! I saw the vlog before your family reunion and your garden and now has really out performed itself.
Congratulations Becky on this successful stage that your garden has reached. It’s looking amazing. Your hard efforts are paying off big time and I applaud you and your work 😊
Your garden makes me so happy. I see true love in your eyes touching your beautiful zinnias. This is my first year watching you grow from seed. A little jealous as my garden is just doing terrible but I find myself so happy watching your success. Thank you for taking us with you on your journey.
Hi Becky your runner beans are not scarlet runner beans. They would have bright scarlet red flowers. There must have been a mix up in seeds. I have grown them for over 20 yers. They are pretty though the ones you have. Happy gardening.😊
Hi Becky, I’m watching you all the way from South Africa🇿🇦and I’m so impressed and inspired by your work. I’m a small gardening TH-camr myself and I get so much strength to keep going from just watching you!!!
หลายเดือนก่อน
Such a beautiful garden and so wonderful to watch. I’m in Melbourne Australia and it’s winter (we have a mild winter) so my cabbage, kale, beets, radish, leeks & spring onion are doing well. Thanks Becky.
Becky, for your wildflower beds, I would plant Jerusalem Artichokes. They make a really tall stem and have yellow flowers on them that look like daisies. In the fall, dig up the tubers and they’re delicious!!! Just place the small tubers back into the dirt and they’ll produce again for future eating.
Good evening friends. I don't usually comment too much on here even though I'm a regular viewer. Becky ignited my love for gardening and I have started my first flower bed and even grown some tomatoes and peppers as well.
Today I harvested flowers to make an arrangement for my mother who is in the ICU with a bowel blockage just one week after my dad was in a motorcycle accident and suffered a punctured lung, cracked ribs and a small brain bleed. He is miraculously recovering but is also beyond exhausted as he should be resting in order to recuperate but has been at the hospital every day with my mother. Mom is 81 and dad is 78. Would you all please keep my family in your prayers? Our heads are absolutely spinning. My mom needs a miracle and we know that we serve a miracle working God! ❤ Thank you all so much.
🙏
I'll be praying for your family. 😊
Sending prayers and positive vibes for a speedy recovery for your parents. Happy Gardening!
I'm posting prayers & a speedy recovery for your Mom & Dad! Take care! ♥️😉🫂🦋🙏🙏🙏🌷✨️🌹
The fact your dad survived that is a miracle.
Volunteers are always the strongest and best to save seed from because they have acclimated themselves to your garden and area. Often times they have the best taste as well which makes them even better.
volunteers are the best! i just moved so im still on the first year of my garden but im doing my best to get seeds developed !! hoping for more volunteers in the future :)
So sorry but I think you meant to say acclimated not accumulated
@@melaniecalderon8973 Yes I did. Thanks for letting me know that spellchecker pulled a fast one on me!
Yes volunteers are just the best and most resilient. I let them all grow and seed save
Sweet Pea is the scent of my childhood. I had a purple, pink n white bedroom - my Dad grew those colours in his garden and gave me a bunch every week in season for my dresser - I loved him for that. ❤
lovely memory, Jody!
My grandparents grew a lot of vegetables and nana always insisted that pop put in sweet peas. The flowers were much loved for colour and scent.
Becky-I just love your enthusiasm. I feel you. I’m 59 and have gardened my whole life and I STILL smile and have the overflowing excitement walking out into my garden! I’ve watched you grow and grow your business and family. Congratulations! Well done. You bring so much joy to my world! 🙏🏻
Becky I would just like to say “I wish you were my neighbor “. ❤❤❤❤
Becky just a tip about your sweet peas. My mother grew them for many years and to keep them blooming. You need to cut the flowers and cut off the seed pods so that they sprout new flowers. Otherwise they will bloom once and quit.
I'm in hot Texas but will try these next spring.
If you're looking for your scissors, they are on the bed where you just removed snapdragons
Haha 😂
I would definitely need this kind of help 😅❤
@@Faye_vr me too, that's why I told her. I'm forever losing things, sometimes buying another only to find the original. 😁🤣
Me too, and I have such a small garden. But I put down something after being distracted then forget about them 😂😂 someone suggested for Becky to put a mailbox up mid way in her garden to keep a few tools and gloves. I thought that was a great idea.
@@robyn7287 that is definitely a great idea! I hope to have a garden the size of Becky's one day so hopefully I'll remember that lol
Read the story of the little red hen to your young child after you show them the wheat that you are growing. Include them when you harvest, grind your wheat and bake it into bead. Even though your child is still a toddler these kind of things build huge experiential meaning for them.

The leaves also make really tasty pesto!
@@laurennewman9365OOOOOOOOO awesome idea.
I'm 65 and learn something new with almost every video. You are a good teacher. Thanks again.
How magnificent your gardens looks. Breathtakingly beautiful! What a rewarding sight for you to see after your week away. So 🐝 nice to see your 🐝 too.
I so enjoyed all the videos preparing for the camping trip. I hope you all had a ton of fun, and a wonderful celebration of life for Susan's mother.
Pictures of your flowers would make beautiful cards!!! Just beautiful!!!
I hope your family camp out was awesome! I love the changes in the garden when we’ve been gone and all things are growing and being well watered. 🌱 😊 🌺

Becky I can feel how filled your heart is with the joy of your amazing garden. Enjoy every step of the journey that is gardening. 🦋🐓🌸
What a beautiful garden you have and there’s something interesting tucked in every little space. They’re like little surprises.❤

Runner bean plants like to be misted with water. It helps to set the flowers. When you water, in the evening, spray a fine mist over the flowers.

I can't wait to see your harvesting videos!!
The more you cut the sweet pea blooms, for cut flowers. the more blooms you will have. You have a beautiful garden x😊
Becky, the Scarlet Runner Beans should have bright red flowers. There must have been some seed mixup at the place you bought them.
I've seen other channels recommend cutting the tops of bean/pea/squash plants that climb the cattle panels when they are at the top of the panel. It'll then put all it's energy into creating fruit/veggies instead of growing up.

I love watching you in your gardening journey. I saw another homesteader (The 1870 Homesteader)canning recently. She made Zucchini Bread Jam. She got her recipe from another homesteader. I don’t garden, but it sounded interesting, so I may purchase some zucchini to try it.
Also zinnias last year found the more I cut flowers for inside the more I got in flowering on each plant.
Beautiful flowers!!! Your garden is so plush and bountiful!
I learned something new today on how to hand pollinate! Thank you 😊 Always a pleasure to watch your channel!!!!!❤
I hope you and your family had an enjoyable camping family reunion and celebration!!
Thank you, Becky for sharing your lovely garden walkthrough. I think planting so many varieties of flowers throughout your garden not only attracts a variety of pollenators, but also sparks so much joy. Not all potato varieties will bloom, so it's not a "guarantee" of good/bad harvest. Speaking of blooms, I am not certain those beans with the white blooms are scarlet runners - All the beans I've grown that said Scarlet Runner had vibrant red blossoms, though I did grow a variety from Baker Creek called Black Coat Runner bean that had a variety of pink, white, red, and almost lavender blooms so that was really fun to grow. We have luffa, Tromboncino squash, and Noodle Beans growing up arched trellises in our garden and they have really covered the whole thing! Granted, here in Georgia, it is probably hotter longer and that might make a difference in the growth habit of any vining plants. Last thing - we like to amend beds in late Autumn with "hot compost" (like chicken coop litter) and top with straw or wood chips. Then, the beds we didn't amend in Autumn get amended in early Spring with ready compost and any additional organic fertilizers get added as the plants are put in or on an "as needed" basis.
Your zinnia bed is so very cheerful!!! It is looking like you are going to have pumpkins coming out of your ears this Fall! The whole garden is so gorgeous!!
The zinnias and snapdragons are so beautiful. Amazing garden
Just love your flowers and your garden beds. Growing like crazy. Glad your camping weekend went well. 😊
The flowers are beautiful.❤
All your hard work amending your beds this spring was so worth it….look how happy all your flowers and vegetables are!!!!! I especially love your zinnias…next year I am for sure going to plant some. We move into our new home last month so this year was out for a flower or vegetable garden…but next year for sure!!!! This has been one of my favorite videos of your garden💕💕💕💕
Beer traps for slugs works a treat. And will not hurt pets or wildlife. I used them for one season and have not seen a snail or slug in my garden since. An idea for your garlic garden next year, move it to the end of the irrigation, and get Josh to put an isolator tap in for that garden bed. That way you will be able to turn the water off on that bed and the others before it will still get watered.
I gave sugar snap peas to my niece and nephews they loved how sweet and crunchy they are and of course to dip in ranch
You garden is simply stunning! Absolutely beautiful!
I keep coming back to your channel, Becky, especially since it's winter where I am and I can vicariously enjoy your beautiful garden. Thank you 😊
This video is one of my favorites of yours. Have loved watching you & it's amazing how knowledgeable you are. I'm 60 & am still learning. Have always had vegetable gardens & I love your flowers with your raised beds. Have learned many inspiring ideas here today 💛
Your garden is a dream!!!
So gorgeous!
I love that your pumpkins are about to escape outside your garden area over the fence into your field!!! What a scene that will be!
Becky the wheat would be pretty in your flower arrangements too! 🌾
Flowered Thai Basil also adds beauty and scent to a floral arrangement.
I like to add herbs to my flower arrangements as well. Mint is a nice touch add a bit of greenery and fragrance.
Your garden, flowers, vegetables the whole thing is just magnificent! I wish I could have something as beautiful as your homestead!
Hello Becky, you are so happy when you are in your Happy Place...your garden. At first (when I became your subscriber), I thought your kitchen was your happy place. Could it be you have two happy places..hummm! I saw the vlog before your family reunion and your garden and now has really out performed itself.
🐞 As always, I so enjoyed your garden review and the windows into the bees is really cool!!!
Becky would you please tell us the date of the videos? Thank you 😊
her instagram account is current; her youtube videos are usually 10-14 days behind to give her coverage in case of illness, personal travel, etc.
Congratulations Becky on this successful stage that your garden has reached. It’s looking amazing. Your hard efforts are paying off big time and I applaud you and your work 😊
I like the smell of sweet pea flowers, I haven't grown any but I see some growing in the wild.
It’s so beautiful, Becky! All of your hard work has definitely paid off! Gorgeous, friend! ❤
You should share your flowers with your Mom and sisters. You can get an awful lot of bouquets out of your garden. Stunning!❤️🙂
jasmine will cover the trellises beautifully and the smell is amazing
Hi Becky!!!
I've been loving your garden videos. It's absolutely gorgeous 🏵🌸
Your garden makes me so happy. I see true love in your eyes touching your beautiful zinnias. This is my first year watching you grow from seed. A little jealous as my garden is just doing terrible but I find myself so happy watching your success. Thank you for taking us with you on your journey.
Girl, I am so jealous. Your garden and flowers are beautiful. I live in GA. My garden has burned up. I am going to replant at the end of Aug.
I think that cilantro flowers would be pretty in a bouquet
The cilantro flowers are great for pollinators too😊
Hi Becky your runner beans are not scarlet runner beans. They would have bright scarlet red flowers. There must have been a mix up in seeds. I have grown them for over 20 yers. They are pretty though the ones you have. Happy gardening.😊
Hi Becky, I’m watching you all the way from South Africa🇿🇦and I’m so impressed and inspired by your work. I’m a small gardening TH-camr myself and I get so much strength to keep going from just watching you!!!
Such a beautiful garden and so wonderful to watch. I’m in Melbourne Australia and it’s winter (we have a mild winter) so my cabbage, kale, beets, radish, leeks & spring onion are doing well. Thanks Becky.
Becky, for your wildflower beds, I would plant Jerusalem Artichokes. They make a really tall stem and have yellow flowers on them that look like daisies. In the fall, dig up the tubers and they’re delicious!!! Just place the small tubers back into the dirt and they’ll produce again for future eating.
I love the look of the nasturtium plant leaves.
