little suggestion : when watering your basil or any other garden plant, water the base of it only... prevents mildew or water burning the leaves when sun hits ;)
I came here to suggest this. :) Also, Bec, you can prune off the bottom leaves of your tomatoes so they don't get wet when watered. That's what brings in the blight. You've got this!!
Yes! I just came to suggest this too :) Also, a little tip with the basil: you can take some of the middle leaves to make it double its foliage (because it starts to grow in pairs) and in no time you'll have a huge and beautiful basil plant
I love how they wished Maya a happy birthday, but completely glossed over the fact that it’s also Bec’s birthday. Gave it away when you said you’re birthday twins!
Try slippery caterpillar taps, available on Amazon. Also this: The most common treatment used against gypsy moth is a spray of Bacillus thuringiensis, commonly called Bt. This bacterial insecticide kills caterpillars that eat it within a week of its application. Bt is found naturally in soil and degrades within a week when exposed to sunlight.. also made place some canvas over the shower to help keep it clean. Nature is beautiful but has its’ ugly side too.
I’m SO glad you two are staying connected to Max, and of course Occy❤️ He’s posted some heartbreaking segments, so it’s wonderful to see him taking positive steps in his healing, as you are doing. Sharing Eamon’s mental vlog on re-engineering and permitting the steps and decks down to the lake would require an “E” rating for Explicit language.

We would get a different small caterpillar on this pine every year. We took a spray bottle with water and added some dish soap. When you sprayed them, they would just fall off the pine and not go back because of the soapy residue. This never hurt the pine and worked every time. If it works for you, you might get a car sprayer for the hose that holds some soap. That should get the ones up high. Best thing, you don’t even need a permit.
@@gailhitson6722 Oh wow, I had no idea. Do they hurt honey bees because they eat the vegetation, resulting in fewer flowers to pollinate or is it more aggressive?
Just a quick tip: when watering your plants, don’t pour it over the plant itself, pour it into the soil. Because when it’s that sunny and you water the leaves, the droplets will act like a magnifying glass and burns the leaves. So maybe water the plants in the early morning and when the sun goes down. Love you guys!
If your going to water during the heat of the day try to water the soil not the plant. The water droplets on the leaves can burn the plant unfortunately. Watering in the morning or evening is even better😀
Hey girl, be carful of watering in direct sun because you can scorch the leaves as the water acts like a magnifying glass and can burn them:) but way to go👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That’s actually not true I water my garden in scorching heat when its needs a drink from time to time And my leaves are beautifully green I thought the same thing until I heard a gardener say that it wasn’t true and it’s not
@@rikid39 It's obviously good for your plants, but you shouldnt put water on leaves cuz they will burn out because of the Sun. And tomatoes don't like water on leaves anyways 😉
@Mister Professor I mean Yes, but I had plenty of plants thay have been burned by the Sun. Especially grass for example. I don't know how it's working in America but in my place it is like that.
HOT TIP: wake up at 8 am, watch new video, fall back asleep and dream that you’re visiting Eamon and Bec at the cabin…!! Such a vivid dream that I feel like I really was there, you know the kind. Thanks for such a great visit you two, I had a blast!!
One method of saving your trees is wrapping the trunk in burlap. This is what York Region is recommending ... maybe you can do this on the trees closest to the cabin: Wrap burlap around the tree’s trunk at chest height, secure with a string or rope in the centre and fold the top half over the bottom half to form a bit of a ring. The best time to check the burlap bands is in the afternoon, when the caterpillars seek refuge from the heat of the mid-day sun. Caterpillars can be removed and placed in a bucket of soapy water for a day or two before disposing of them. Always wear gloves when handling caterpillars and egg masses to avoid an allergic reaction Note: check your burlap bands daily to ensure birds or any other wildlife don’t get unintentionally caught.
I luv Sunday’s so much ☀️ 🌸💛🌸Eamon and Bec, I just want you to know that you help me more than you know...so thank you. I hope who ever reads this that you’ll have a beautiful day🌸💛🌸☀️
I get confused between tree cutters who call themselves arborists and arborists the horticultural type. I never see them doing the make a tree grow healthy side. What to do about the gypsy moths?
@@curiousnomadic We don't have gypsy moths here in Colorado I'm not sure on that! There's a lot they do to trees though that isn't just removal. We live in the city so a lot of the pruning they do is to keep the tree healthy. There are also injections that can help with some of the bugs we have here. But our bugs usually burrow into the trees so I'm not sure if that would help with the gypsy moths on the outside of the tree...
The cabin is looking absolutely gorgeous you two!! I'm so happy you're getting help with the pesky permits process. Have faith in the process, you're doing it! sending love and light from the west coast 🙏🌈❤️
I didn't hear it like that.. I heard "so it's a good call that I decided not to do it myself" ..the reply was no ..meaning it wasn't a good call not to do it himself lol
My Sundays never feel complete until I've watched an E&B video. Their enthusiasm helps me get through the coming week. Love them so much. ♡ 🎂Happy Birthday for Tuesday Bec
If you water from the root of the plants it will flourish best. Wetting the leaves or plant itself will act as a magnifying glass for the sun. The leaves can scorch :)
Try putting up bird feeders, bird houses and especially bat houses all through your property. They could help to control the caterpillars that are pooping everywhere. Love the hat on you...I don;t think anything could look bad on you Bec. And!! someone dissed Eamons hair...ppppfffffttttt. His hair is GREAT and suits him perfectly.
Bec don't water in the middle of the day!!! The water evaporates faster and the water crystals on the leaves can actually act as a magnifying glass and scortch the leaves!! Water first thing in the morning or at night around Sunset!!!
this is a myth, and doesn't occur actually. It can, however, cause fungal disease like powdery mildew or rust etc. Water at the roots only, and deeply, and less often.
which is safer for the birds because they come to eat the caterpillars off of the duct tape and their feathers get stuck on it. You have a much better idea.
A few years ago my area of PA had a gypsy moth problem. One morning I saw hundreds making their way up several trees. I wrapped aluminum foil around the tree (about 10" wide) and smeared it with Vaseline - it stopped them and saved our trees!
bec when you water the basil, and veggies in general, water the base and don’t get the leaves wet. If you wet the leaves and it’s hot and sunny, they basically can steam💖
I'm not sure if it will work with Gypsy Moths, but my grandfather used to soak 1 can of tobacco in a 5 gallon bucket of water for 2 days, then strain out the leaves. He used his garden mister and spray all the plants he didn't want caterpillars or aphids on once a week or so and the bugs left them alone. Any food plants would have to be washed before eating, but even home produce needs washing. Apparently the re-dried tobacco makes a good bug barrier around the edge of any mulched areas in a garden as well.
Thanks so much!! Definitely love challenging ourselves to keep creating interesting and unique content so it's always lovely to hear when it's noticed 😊
Every time y’all say “plant based nutrition” like that, it reminds me of those loud info commercials that would wake you up at 2am if you left the t.v. on and fell asleep 😂 I just love you guys! Continued thanks for the entertainment each week!
the plant near the shower is a Variegated Baby Sun Rose, they dont need a ton of water (like all succulents, they store water in their leaves) watering too much will cause root rot. Just water when the container feels light :)
Your posts brighten my week and do so much for my mental health. I don’t ever leave comments on social media accounts but I felt compelled to express my gratitude for you two today. You are such a light in a world that can feel so dark. Thank you
my brother saw you guys on the highway on the way to ottawa on tuesday he was so happy he was calling me saying that how much it made it his day and he took a video and showed me can’t wait till it’s my turn to see you guys!😭
Haha we use to call going to the dump “going to Sears” there was the second hand shed, the white goods section for parts, general garbage and of course construction when you needed a piece of 2x4. Then there was the free entertainment of the big black furry kind. Was always the best treat of the weekend. Great score Eamon…..👍
Piece of advice when watering your outdoor herbs, flowers, & plants... Water them in the morning before the sun hits them & again at the end of the day after they're not in the sun. Otherwise you're burning them.
I recently started following you guys and watched all the latest vlogs. And now watching all the cabin renovations, you guys gave me so much happy energy. Watching all these vlogs lights my mood!! Thank you for being such inspiring people. Lots of love from the Netherlands 🤍🤍
For the caterpillars my parents used a foil wrap with grease or Vaseline on it, and wet vacuumed the caterpillars piling up below the foil each day. Worked really well
Oh my gosh your Buddha bowl looks absolutely yummy! I would love to know how do you season your tofu. Your tofu has such a beautiful color to it so it looks like you marinated in something, would love to know.
Exactly!! They need burden feeders with different kinds of seeds etc and also bird baths too! Though the lake is there, they like little baths above the ground for safety 🤩💘😋
Except there's an unknown bird disease killing songbirds and it's sweeping northwards 😭 Only a matter of days or a week or so before it's in Ontario I'm sure. Already in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Here in Indiana they just called for all bird feeders to be taken down. Working for the DNR, it's so sad to hear updates. Keep an eye on local news to know when not to put feeders up anymore! But also definitely a year to be vigilant cleaning them 2-3 times a week. I miss our birds already and bah yes they'd help with gypsy moths!!!
The flowers in the hanging baskets by the outdoor showers are called "Mezoo Trailing Red." I buy them every year and love them. And you are right -- they are very chill. They require absolutely no maintenance. All they do is hang there and look good. Enjoy!
Hey Bec- when watering plants, water around the base of the plant not on top of the plant. Plants absord water through the root system. You can cause some damage to the stems by watering on top of the "leaves" / flattening them. Helps them to grow better
Something we’ve been doing is watering our plants at night! When we used to water during the day, the water would get on the leaves and the sun would completely scorch them and all of our little plant babies and trees would be all brown and burnt 😞 I don’t know if that’s actually a thing but I find this year especially it’s been working so good!! No burnt plants at all! 🌱
The caterpillars come down during the day to avoid the heat and climb back up in the evening. We used a width of tinfoil around the tree with Vaseline rubbed on it.
Can I just say I LOVE and really appreciate your energy and editing! It always makes me so happy and excited and it really motivates me to make the most of every day! Love you guys! Xxxxxxx
When I was a kid growing up in Ontario I was climbing trees and put my hand in a huge group of gypsy moth caterpillars and they fell all over me 🤮 I've had a phobia of them ever since. You see one and you just know they're eeeeverywhere.
After catching a video of you guys in a Facebook feed, I have just binged all of the videos from the first cabin one up to now, love love looooove you guys and the channel, what a happy little find!! I have laughed and cried over the last couple of days! Fantastic content ❤
Lol helpful tip for your outdoor produce....stop wetting the leaves while they're in full sun light. The water droplets creates a magnifying 🔎effect, causing the leaves to burn 🔥 water in the evenings if you can.
We are in Michigan. We have a 200+ year old Great Oak in our back yard. It’s the most beautiful tree I’ve ever seen. My husband and I got married beneath it. Those dang gypsy moths have destroyed it! It has almost no leaves on it! I’m so worried about it!
Years ago we had a bad gypsy moth invasion and they ate every leaf on our property....but the trees grew new smaller leaves before fall and came back fine the next spring. Now this year is another invasion, but all should be fine.
The most common treatment used against gypsy moth is a spray of Bacillus thuringiensis, commonly called Bt. This biological pesticide is highly specific, meaning different varieties of Bt affect only very specific species. Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (Btk) is the certain strain that must be used to control gypsy moth.
Bec, Congratulations on your garden. Water the soil not all the leaves, the water is heavy on the leaves sun dries hard on the plant. Your incredible lady, beautiful from inside out. Thank you
Best time to water is as the sun is going down because then the water will evaporate as much and it gives the plant a better chance of soaking it up but if you are going to water during the day make sure you don’t get the leaves work because the water will get hot and then burn the leaves
Only meal, last meal, any time I can get it meal is my momma's homemade mac and cheese. Love these day in the life vlogs, thanks for letting us hang out with y'all as you live many of our dreams :)
Add a more tape to make it go up the tree longer so they have longer to crawl through on the sticky side. That should help tremendously. If you tomato plant starts going crazy it’s because the root system is getting to hot. My tomato’s in 5 gallon buckets had to go in more shade because they were getting cooked. Good luck.
pro-tip - use captured rain water to water your plants, they grow bigger compared to tap, something about lightening releasing the nitrogen in the air and nutrients, etc...

Then there was the free entertainment of the big black furry kind. Was always the best treat of the weekend. Great score Eamon…..👍
Piece of advice when watering your outdoor herbs, flowers, & plants... Water them in the morning before the sun hits them & again at the end of the day after they're not in the sun. Otherwise you're burning them.
I look forward to & enjoy watching you guys each week. You guys are cute together 😍 Thank you for sharing your journey with us Eamon & Bec 🤗😘
Eamon’s day at the dump….Making friends and finding treasures. While I think I’m team Bec on this one, gotta loves the enthusiasm. 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
Hahah fair enough!! It's pretty cute watching that footage of Eamon in the trash like a raccoon!
Y’all are the best!! My wife and I watch y’all every Sunday. ❤️
Big love to the pair of you! Thanks for the support 💜
I have been told to avoid leaves when watering plants
Me too. I was told it could cause sunburn.
I believe she was washing off gypsy moths / their excrement.
drops of water and the sun will cause burned leaves. better to water plants and grass in the evening on hot days.
I recently started following you guys and watched all the latest vlogs. And now watching all the cabin renovations, you guys gave me so much happy energy. Watching all these vlogs lights my mood!! Thank you for being such inspiring people. Lots of love from the Netherlands 🤍🤍
For the caterpillars my parents used a foil wrap with grease or Vaseline on it, and wet vacuumed the caterpillars piling up below the foil each day. Worked really well
Eamon & Bec = Relationship Goals!! So sweet!💕
how are you doing
Oh my gosh your Buddha bowl looks absolutely yummy! I would love to know how do you season your tofu. Your tofu has such a beautiful color to it so it looks like you marinated in something, would love to know.
put out some bird feeders and bird houses, once you attract enough birds they will eat the moth larvae
Good idea
Exactly!! They need burden feeders with different kinds of seeds etc and also bird baths too! Though the lake is there, they like little baths above the ground for safety 🤩💘😋
Except there's an unknown bird disease killing songbirds and it's sweeping northwards 😭 Only a matter of days or a week or so before it's in Ontario I'm sure. Already in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Here in Indiana they just called for all bird feeders to be taken down. Working for the DNR, it's so sad to hear updates. Keep an eye on local news to know when not to put feeders up anymore! But also definitely a year to be vigilant cleaning them 2-3 times a week. I miss our birds already and bah yes they'd help with gypsy moths!!!
@@bethanygriffith7078 Maryland/DC area is advised to take in feeders. So strange.
The flowers in the hanging baskets by the outdoor showers are called "Mezoo Trailing Red." I buy them every year and love them. And you are right -- they are very chill. They require absolutely no maintenance. All they do is hang there and look good. Enjoy!
Hey Bec- when watering plants, water around the base of the plant not on top of the plant. Plants absord water through the root system. You can cause some damage to the stems by watering on top of the "leaves" / flattening them. Helps them to grow better
Something we’ve been doing is watering our plants at night! When we used to water during the day, the water would get on the leaves and the sun would completely scorch them and all of our little plant babies and trees would be all brown and burnt 😞 I don’t know if that’s actually a thing but I find this year especially it’s been working so good!! No burnt plants at all! 🌱
When I had a garden, I did that too. Watering in the evening also allows the water to sink into the soil without evaporating.
@@IvyRoad ours is flourishing this year so I’m thinking we’re doing something right! 😂
@@pitbullmomplans Yay!
OMG...I did not recognize Max until he started talking. He looks amazing!
Hello 👋
😂😂😂😂 Eamon holds up a baseball glove and says "A baseball BAT" hahahah im dying guys. That was hilarious
Haha maybe it's foreshadowing for his next trip to the dump 😂
@@eamonandbec he has to now cause he has the glove. He's like well we'll need a bat now Bec 😆 love yawl!!!
The caterpillars come down during the day to avoid the heat and climb back up in the evening. We used a width of tinfoil around the tree with Vaseline rubbed on it.
Can I just say I LOVE and really appreciate your energy and editing! It always makes me so happy and excited and it really motivates me to make the most of every day! Love you guys! Xxxxxxx
You two have an amazing energy! Love the videos they’re so positive and inspiring 💖💖
Awe thanks Laura!!
When I was a kid growing up in Ontario I was climbing trees and put my hand in a huge group of gypsy moth caterpillars and they fell all over me 🤮 I've had a phobia of them ever since. You see one and you just know they're eeeeverywhere.
OMG I am the same I have a MASSIVE caterpillar phobia as our apple tree got covered when I was a kid, that video was like horror movie to me!!!
13:17 "me and Mitch buddy at the dump"
Eamon has a dump buddy 😂😂
I put my spinach in first with my liquids and blend that before adding everything else!
yeah we got them here also, no leaves left on certain tree,s. be careful, when the poo gets wet it is very slippery
So great to see Max. Love his new do.
We do too!! Looking good Maxy boy!
Hi
"We all know Eamon loves going to the dump." 😂
Hahah here I am feeling sorry I've sent him to the dump... the kid ends up having the BEST DAY at the dump 😂
As a kid in the 80s, I loved it- always find coolstuff :)
Love you guys!! Morning coffee on the dock by the lake is living the good life.
Eamon is getting so buff! LoL
After catching a video of you guys in a Facebook feed, I have just binged all of the videos from the first cabin one up to now, love love looooove you guys and the channel, what a happy little find!! I have laughed and cried over the last couple of days! Fantastic content ❤
Lol helpful tip for your outdoor produce....stop wetting the leaves while they're in full sun light. The water droplets creates a magnifying 🔎effect, causing the leaves to burn 🔥 water in the evenings if you can.
hello 👋
I’m way too nervous to see what happened with the permit
Hello
Yay, SUNDAY!!! It’s the best day of the week when Eamon and Bec upload!🥰💗
We are in Michigan. We have a 200+ year old Great Oak in our back yard. It’s the most beautiful tree I’ve ever seen. My husband and I got married beneath it. Those dang gypsy moths have destroyed it! It has almost no leaves on it! I’m so worried about it!
Years ago we had a bad gypsy moth invasion and they ate every leaf on our property....but the trees grew new smaller leaves before fall and came back fine the next spring. Now this year is another invasion, but all should be fine.
@@the_mum that’s reassuring, thankyou.
The most common treatment used against gypsy moth is a spray of Bacillus thuringiensis, commonly called Bt. This biological pesticide is highly specific, meaning different varieties of Bt affect only very specific species. Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (Btk) is the certain strain that must be used to control gypsy moth.
hello 👋
100% Lee would've loved to wrestle Eamon on that floatie
100%!!!!
Hello
Get him back with the “baseball bat” 🤣🤣 I cracked up but love this and love learning new healthy ideas for lunch since I’m always in a funk!
I was dying at the end with the bloopers when Bec was looking at herself instead of the camera. 😂
Haha glad you got a chuckle Stephanie!!
Max looks Good! Eating nachos for the rest of my life sounds gooooood but never without The guacamole!
Hello 👋
Bec,
Congratulations on your garden.
Water the soil not all the leaves, the water is heavy on the leaves sun dries hard on the plant.
Your incredible lady, beautiful from inside out.
Thank you
Best time to water is as the sun is going down because then the water will evaporate as much and it gives the plant a better chance of soaking it up but if you are going to water during the day make sure you don’t get the leaves work because the water will get hot and then burn the leaves
it's nice to see Max :) Hope He's OK , sending love 4all of you !
Only meal, last meal, any time I can get it meal is my momma's homemade mac and cheese. Love these day in the life vlogs, thanks for letting us hang out with y'all as you live many of our dreams :)
You all inspire me to work out again! I'm not there quite yet, but you got me thinking about it! ✌️😳❤️
Add a more tape to make it go up the tree longer so they have longer to crawl through on the sticky side. That should help tremendously. If you tomato plant starts going crazy it’s because the root system is getting to hot. My tomato’s in 5 gallon buckets had to go in more shade because they were getting cooked. Good luck.
pro-tip - use captured rain water to water your plants, they grow bigger compared to tap, something about lightening releasing the nitrogen in the air and nutrients, etc...
