![เปิดใจ พี่ญา คนรุม หลังทัวร์ลง หนักสุดในชีวิต!! l [Nickynachat]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2-OJZRtclro/mqdefault.jpg)
Best comment "I'll have a lot more time (to garden) next year." Lol the optimistic first time mom! !!
I guess it is perfect time to say “ Oh my sweet summer child”!!🤣🤣
I definitely said this last year too during moving and having a baby and I have to say moving is much more time consuming especially if you are renovating haha… babies can garden with you to an extent as long you have a back pack carrier and it’s not too hot. 😀
Lol so true! I said that last year too 😅😅 gardening with babies is not easy
Also, considering gardening is part of her full time job in terms of what she if filming, a lot of that time is being spent renovating since that is also being shared on YT and therefore is sort of part of her job so in that sense she will have more time.
I did have a bit of giggle!
“Oh look, there’s a sock. Why do I have a sock in my garden?” 😂we love you Becky!
😂
Love her too!!!!
Bless you heart your little baby is going to be so healthy eating healthy stuff out of the garden … good for you both
Absolutely
My 3 year old daughter and I watch all your videos, she requests them all day and now she has a love for growing our own food! 🥰
As an Arkansas gal, it’s so funny to me when she says “the heat wave has finally hit us” as she’s wearing a jacket 😂😂 our heatwave is like 110degrees
Use a china grease pencil to mark your garden tags. It lasts for several seasons. Waterproof and sun proof. And if you need to change a tag, some simple green on a rag and rub it and it comes right off.
I like black acrylic marker. Anything grease melts away in our climate. I like reusing tags, too.
What type of tags do u use?
@@annfretz2068 when I took off the extra slats on my mini blinds - cut them to about 10" lengths. Mark plants, last for years.
I only use a China graph pencil. It works well here in Australia
You are so sweet I just love it when you call us friends😍
With all your land and gardening and love of flowers- BEES. I know it is a whole new venture, but you must do it! (Even before cheese making 😉) Put bees in your homestead planning! So happy for you and Josh.
She just did a q &a video where she said they will be having bees.
I agree.
Oooh I want bees and would love to go through the process together!
Every summer while I was in college I worked at a greenhouse/garden center and when we'd plant flower containers we always followed the same pattern and I bet it would work for vegetables, too. So, in your pots and grow bags, plant something that grows slim and tall in the center and then go around, rotating every other position, planting something bushy and then, something trailing. This will ensure plants aren't fighting for sunlight and everyone gets along. :)
Whomever takes on this Garden after Becki and Josh will have such a nice starting point. They've both put so much hard work into it. I'm looking forwards to seeing where the new bigger garden goes!
Becky, I love how genuinely excited you are over each new thing in the garden! Can we please see your hair down and how you put it up? It is always so cute.
I was just thinking that in the last video: "How does she do her updo? Ita not just a bun..."
@@Megan9689 Maybe she will show us one day soon. 😆
She has done her hair style on TH-cam, a messy french twist. Her hair is crazy long and beautiful but she hasn't shown it out and curly that I know of.
@@heathersdailylife9263 With her being pregnant, her hair will probably grow two inches a month. I think it would be fun to see it down and see her style it.
Becky, I know this probably isn't the year to do this with everything you have on your plate right now, but you can over winter your peppers by digging them up, cutting them all the way back, and potting them. It gives you a head start for the next year when you stick them back into the ground. It might be something to try in the future, since you love peppers so much. Your garden is lovely! 😊
Thank you for sharing this!
I am gonna try this!! My peppers are about the only thing I get a big harvest from
I’m going to try this 😃
How do we store them.
@@janetbecker4282 I did this a few years ago. I put them inside, indirect light (I have heard of people keeping them in nearly complete darkness too). I kept mine in a virtually unused bathroom- also as a means to quarantine them and make sure any soil bugs didn't get into my houseplants.
Depending on your winter temps you could put in a shed or garage.
It's not the 'tomatoes' and 'peppers', it's the 'peppers' and 'green bean' combo. Green beans prefer neutral soil while peppers prefer slightly acidic soil. Peppers and tomatoes are in the same family so they have similar growth requirements. While Tomatoes & Green beans share some of the same needs, they don't necessarily make good companions; however, you can grow them together (as you've found out).
Took the words right out of my mouth 😉
But tomatoes and potatoes are in the same nightshade family and you can't grow those together... That doesn't make sense
@@ICDBoss10 for tomatoes and potatoes I’ve learned it’s because of plant illnesses that can easily transfer from potatoes to tomatoes that are more vulnerable as they are so closely related.
I also had peppers and tomatoes together and both did amazing. They are also not as closely related.
@@ICDBoss10 Tomatoes and Potatoes have DIFFERENT SOIL Ph requirements. The Ph of your SOIL is the key to your success or failure in this regard. Also, they share (literally) the same pests & diseases. It's not hard to just 'Goggle' the information you need, growing gardens of all kinds are all over the Net. Be blessed.
Your joy in your garden is contagious. Don't listen to negative comments about having a baby and a garden. It never stopped me. I had a sling and a stroller, my babies learned to enjoy gardening too, and the eldest now has a garden of her own. Lovely video ❤️
I agree... take junior with you right from early on so its just part of everyday life... :)
I can totally relate to what you said about comparing your peppers and tomatoes to southern gardeners. I’m in the PNW as well and feel so much better about my gardens progress when I watch your videos and see my plants are right on pace with yours. Love the garden tour. Thank you for sharing!
Love to know your opinion on what's coming
Same!
Same! I was excited to see so many still-green tomatoes, I keep getting discouraged by mine but Becky’s patience is contagious.
I absolutely agree!! My garden is going S...L...O....W...
I look so forward to you every day! I laughed to myself when you said next year you will have more time… not a bad thing but that little one takes up more time than you think! Love you and praying for you all!
Exactly that! You won't be able to go much of anywhere without your bundle of joy. Close access to the diaper bag and/or the changing table, along with a possible 50% increase in laundry will keep you busy. Then there's the lack of quality sleep. I'm sure that you will get things sorted out quickly with the help of your Moms and sisters in law.
Yep. When she said that, I was smirking because she is gonna have even less time.
The next time you have room in the truck as you're headed to the new house, bring the ginger along! It'll get more sun there and might save that crop in the containers. Couldn't hurt!
I'm kinda gonna be sad when "we" have our last garden tour in this garden.😔 I really pray that you are able to transplant as much as you possibly can.. and take as many seeds as you possibly can. I am looking forward to creating and building "our" new garden. 😁. Becky, I want to remind you that you really need to wear knee pads as often as you can while kneeling to harvest and/or plant. Trust me, you will thank me when you are older. Blessings to you and Josh & Baby!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤
And gloves! While pregnant and nursing
We were wondering why we werent getting blueberries until we saw mr. Squirrel sitting on my raised garden side munching on the blueberry plant. You're welcome mr. Squirrel. Hope you are enjoying my blueberries.
I grew tomatoes in grow bags (cherry types) they got to be over 9 ft tall! I was shocked! And they are still setting fruit in our 100+ temperatures!
Holy cow!😄
Your Echinacea is so tall! Awesome job with it. You can definitely transplant them. I transplanted 3 this year (as you can separate them after a bit of time for more plants) along with salvia, roses and rudbeckia. I just made sure to use a starter fertilizer (I used espima bio-tone) and watered regularly for a few weeks. I am in SW Wisconsin. Best of luck to you in your new garden and upcoming adventures at the new house and with your pending arrival!
Good afternoon! I’m absolutely excited to see the progress of your garden. Remember, you have a lot going on so give yourself some grace. Have an amazing day!
yes, pregnancy was tiring but a newborn, breast-feeding WAY more exhausting. depends on the baby though, I had one that would sleep for hours, and one who only only sleep for 45 mins... even as a newborn. he also needed to be held constantly, when you need to achieve things.. very annoying 😂
@@Ilovelife67 wow you sound like a very happy person
Wow Ally! I get it if you don’t care for her channel because maybe it’s not your thing, that’s fine. But to hate that someone who wants a baby, is having a baby is beyond words. Becky is a beautiful person with a loving husband and they want a family. To hate on that…. I just don’t understand you. I hope you are happy and that your life brings you the same amount of joy that her life brings her.
@@Ilovelife67 For someone who was asking Becky for produce advice 3 months ago, you’re acting like a hypocrite suddenly not understanding why she’s showing up on your feed. You know what you could do instead, ignore the video and move on with your life. Becky has a whole community who loves and supports her through this journey and new chapter in her life, so you can take your hate elsewhere.
@@Ilovelife67 you pretty much made me lol. Very strange response.
Becky!!!
My first year gardening hasnt been the greatest, particularly my carrots.
Well, I just found out they are growing wild in the yard, so ive been clearing the area around them so they can grow and Ive just about doubled my carrots!!!
Staying positive really pays off!!!
🙏🙏🙏
It certainly does ☺️😊🥰🦋💕
yay!! what a nice surprise!
Try to get up one hour earlier, make your tea and spend some time in the garden. It is obvious how much you enjoy it so do not let busy life shade your joy for it. Pick a few flowers put in a base and place in the busiest part of the house. It will always bring you joy.
A weedy garden is better than no garden! 🤗💗🤗
When the echinacea goes dormant you can transplant. It will transplant after dormancy very well if you put in the ground fairly quickly
I've never seen lettuce that was so resilient that it continued to live even after being pulled up! That's so awesome!
It makes me happy when the garden is still productive even when it doesn't get the care we intend to give it. Your echinacea and rudbeckia should both transplant really well to the new house.
I can't stop thinking about this idea:
You could plan a pond for your new garden and lead tiny little rivers through it! ♥
You will have so much fun making your own home grown baby food next spring from your freeze dried veggies and fruits! I use to love to make my own and freeze in ice cube trays, 1 serving usually was 2 cubes :) I love when you snack your way through the garden!
Becky, you have the prettiest hair! Not to take away from the subject of this video. Your garden is magnificent!
I had huge rock retaining walls done in December and planted all my squashes on the top terrace and now they are trailing down through the second terrace heading for the third. Full southern exposure on the gulf islands B.C . Great mins think alike 🙏👍
I just found you about a month ago and I am loving your channel! I am in the southeast so yes, our growing season is vastly different. Nevrtheless, I am getting a lot of inspiration and encouragement from your channel. I appreciate you showing the weedy garden.....and letting that be okay. I am not a cook and often waste alot from my garden so I'm getting a lot from your cooking and preserving content. Anyway, just wanted to share some encouragement! Thanks for continuing to produce content in your busy life....and congratulations on alll the growth in your family and life!!
🥰
For me, in the northeast, Ohio area, to keep the deer away from my garden, I always plant marigolds all around the perimeter of the garden. It definitely worked, because me neighbors feed the deer off their gardens. Love your videos
@@cynthiafisher9907 marigolds smell really bad to some animals, its a compound called geraniol, also useful in bug sprays but some people are very allergic.
I believe it s the smell of the Marigolds so they don’t come near them. Also I had raised beds and the dirt was phenomenal and my flowers were 2 feet tall. So I got to see some beautiful flowers and protect my veggies at the same time
Becky have you ever watched a channel called Chocolate Box Cottage? I just found it this morning. The title of this mornings is garden tool basket, save time and steps by organizing your hand tools. I thought you might enjoy seeing what she puts in her tool basket. Your new home is so much larger that it will be much harder to run back to the house for things you need or forgot to bring with you. I love watching your channel. I live in an apartment on the second floor.l, only get sun in afternoon and have trees in front of my balcony. So I can't get anything to grow well.but watching you grow and harvest all those beautiful things makes me so happy for you. God bless you and your family.
I do love seeing someone's garden from here in western Washington as it makes me feel like my garden is not as late as it feels.
My long beans took forever to get started but now that the plants are mature I have beans popping out seemingly overnight!
Becky you made me laugh watching you eat the sour blueberrys.. saying how it was sour but you kept popping them in your mouth and your face would pucker.. made my face pucker too!! I love your videos. We can tell you and josh are fine people and we are so happy for you both!
I hope the next owners of this house would appreciate all the gardening you've done and will take good care of it
My carnations are blooming like crazy! I love them so much for the clove fragrance that I stick my nose in the bouquet and just sniff them up! Most of my crops are done for the summer (so Cal) but my yellow squash and zucchini are going like gangbusters. I grow mine in pots and grow them upright. Takes less room and I love it! I love that you have frogs in your garden. We are so dry that we never see frogs. Use a garden marker for your plastic stakes. They are found on Amazon or Gardener's supply. I love your garden!
No garden is weed free and life does get in the way from time to time (especially when your plate is as full as yours is right now). Loved the tour. I always watch but rarely comment, so happy for you and Josh on the upcoming birth.
Hi Becky. Thanks for thanking us along through your garden. I'm living in an apartment and watching this makes me long for a garden too. I do have some tomato plants on my balcony and I have to wait and see what will happen. My basil in my hanging basket is growing strong. Will post a photo when it's bigger.
Hope your move is going as planned. 👋🏻❤️
Every time you taste something you really like, it just makes my heart laugh! Love it. That tall yellow flowering weed looks like Tansy Ragwort, be careful touching it, and don't feed to your chickens! It is highly toxic and considered a very invasive weed here in Washington.
Hi Becky. I'm looking at your corn right now. Have you ever heard of the three sisters method to grow corn? You plant the corn with pole beans and squash. The corn supports the beans and the squash smothers out weeds. I've always wanted to try it but was not able to garden this year. I've been enjoying your channel so thanks for all these things you share. : )
The 3 Sisters is how my Grandmother planted her crops🥰🤗😍 and never had a problem with it!!
That works well if you can find the right spot for the sun.
My father did that and it works well for a kitchen garden during the season.
We still had to bring in corn to put up.
I liked ours better.
The only problem w that I found is you can't harvest sweet corn to cook til its dried out. Otherwise you trample your other 2 crops
@@dorothyrhodes4657 What if you put a foot path in certain areas around the corn? Even though the squash would spread out and cover them you could gently move them aside to get to the corn. I like your comment because it hadn't occurred to me that I wouldn't be able to get to the corn. So, I'll have to think about that next spring! Thanks for the good info.
I'd like to hear from more people who had su cess w this 3 sisters method
OMG I CLICKED SO FAST. I have been so excited since you planted these seeds. I have been going grieving these past two weeks and watching you garden is so therapeutic.
Celery seed is a spice so you could’ve let it go to seed for seeds to replant next year or you could’ve kept the seed for celery seed which is a lovely spice and tastes a lot like celery a lot of people put it into salads like chicken salad tuna salad etc.
I want you to know the difference you make in our lives. My husband and I just moved into an apartment and can't spend the time in our garden. We are both in our 60s and due to health issues it is better to live in town. You are so upbeat and cheerful you make it a little easier. We are so happy for you both about new home and about baby coming. GOD bless you and your family. Your garden is beautiful.
This was so interesting and I love watching you “taste-test” everything and your excitement makes me happy. Gardening in the south is completely different. My dad loved gardening and everything was always beautiful and tasted so yummy! Good job, Becky!!
If you plant down your terraces, put the winter squash in the middle of the terraces so you can still access the beds from the sides. :)
Your garden look's great . We live in Mississippi and I have been canning tomatoes and peppers and making apple butter and fig jam from our garden and fruit tree's. It's so rewarding. ♥️♥️
I live in north Alabama and I literally flinch when Becky sticks her hand in between plants 🤣 I keep thinking "shewww watch for snakes!!"
Was wondering, what about the garden at the new place, with the strawberries and other berries?
This garden looks great. Love to see all the veggies.
The next owner of this house will get to enjoy this garden if they so want to garden but we will be building a new garden from scratch at the new place! It will be so fun to watch it all come together!
@@AcreHomestead I think she meant how is the strawberry/berry garden going at the new house 😊
I was so jealous of all those strawberries you pulled from the new house, it was like a dream! I hope you get some more from that!
Yes Rach Hunting that was exactly what I meant.
My grandfather was from Vermont and he loved growing blue Hubbard squash. They were one of his favorites.
Becky you are an absolutely incredible young woman who has a passion for learning and then impacting others lives through your skills that you are learning and you are a woman who has a teachable moments every day, my prayer is that God will bless you abundantly with your new garden your new home and of course that sweet baby and that God will give you the time that you need to spend in your garden in a new new home and to includeYour baby into your every day activities, therefore teaching that child the skills that you have learned. Keep up the good work girl take care of yourself and that precious little baby and of course you do a great job being a wife to Josh
Cooked cucumber “recipe”
You peel and slice cucumbers
chopped onion
1 minced garlic
1 chopped tomato
ground cumin
ground coriander
cilantro
salt and pepper
Sautee everything in oil, ad a bit of water and cook it until fork tender
Delicious cooked cucumbers!!
I learned this year and really excited that I can freeze this cucumber side dish in order to use the extra cucumbers
You are phenomenal. The garden is simply amazing. You inspired me to do my own garden this year and although it was only two 4X 12 beds it has been producing an abundance. Far better than I ever expected and I look forward to having increased abundance as the years pass. Your videos are such a joy and healing bomb to my soul. Keep up the good work
Same for me, 2 raised beds and tons of veggies already!
💓💓💓
FYI determinate tomatoes are not pruned even in humid climates.
Love how you eat things straight from the garden. Reminds me of my childhood, growing up on a farm in Ga. My daddy grew so much including peaches!!
I love your videos❤️ I usually watch them when I’m doing my makeup in the morning or if I’m cooking dinner😊 I’m a single mom, so often these are one of the only times I get to be semi alone to watch TH-cam. But since your a kid friendly channel I don’t Minuit my son wakes in😊
It was supposed to say mind, not Minuit 😂 aoutocorrect is a little bit of a pain especially in different languages, and mine is originally Norwegian 😅
In the new house are you going to separate your produce and flower beds? I think you should transplant at least one of your blueberry plants as well as the herbs and medicinal plants you have in your garden. If you do get a greenhouse or even a growing tunnel you may find growing the ginger/turmeric easier in respect of starting the growing process. But this is someone from England 🏴 saying this! Good luck with the house move. Remember to rest when needed 🇬🇧🙂
I think.she said she got plans for her new garden and she wants a vineyard of wine grapes and table grapes I.guess we will find out when she uploads new videos of her transforming her. New Garden once she moves .in and settles down
You definitely need to transplant your flowers! Most, if not all, of your flowers are perennials. There is a lot of money and love in your garden so make sure to take as much as you can. My parents moved to China (for my Dad’s work) for 4 years and before they sold their home they transplanted at least a few of every variety of my Mom’s perennials to our home for a temporary home until they moved back. Now, not only do I have a beautiful floral garden, but my Mom has all her original plantings. Do you have family or friends to come help with your garden this year? You have so much on your plate, plus growing a tiny human. If I were closer, I would volunteer to come weed and help you harvest just for the fun of it. Love the garden tour!
Becky, you are so great at gardening now that you have perfected growing socks! Lol I love watching your videos and you are a true inspiration for me to continue gardening. Thank you!
You can harvest & use all of the echinacea plant. I harvest all the flowers throughout the season & lay them out to dry naturally. When the flowering starts to slow down, I cut it back down & harvest all the leaves, dry them naturally & put those up. As for the roots, you’re right, the roots are great medicinally. But the cool thing about echinacea is that you can split echinacea roots to grow more plants, but you need to wait until spring. If you do it in the fall, the split plant may not establish before the cold weather sets in. So I wait until spring to dig up the plants, split them into 4 plants. I replant 3 and keep 1 from each plant to use medicinally. That way you don’t take all the roots & have to start over.
Becky I look forward to your videos and when they are 30+ minutes I'm EXTRA HAPPY. My heart is full.❤️❤️❤️
You live and learn. You are learning everyday. Knowledge is key! You are very young to have learned as much as you know! Many blessings!
Your failures are such a positive influence because you are such a positive person! I know you are smart enough to give yourself grace next season because your values are solid. I know the next period of your life will be beautiful. Enjoy it !❤️👏🏻
We have had an epic cucumber season. We planted 12 plants, 6 didn't make it. So 6 plants are giving us a gallon bag of cucumbers or more per day. I am overflowing with them and have canned so many, I am now giving them away. I love your garden and can't wait to see what you have planned for the new house. This is my first year of gardening more than tomatoes and I am learning so much. Thanks for sharing!
If you transplant them just make sure you take some of the soil that they're already in and then put it in a hole in your new house and that way when they grow The Roots will get used to the new soil at the same time
I am waiting for a call for a new granddaughter to be born as I am watching your video. So exciting! Your garden is amazing. I love to see the progress. Stay safe.
Good afternoon Becky! Your garden looks so gorgeous, I truly think you have convinced me to move to your area, it's gorgeous and your weather is my dream🥲😍
Yep 106 hear you can't wait to cooler weather look like your burning up.
@@cynthiafisher9907 don't forget astronomical home prices or rent. But our summers can't be beat!
You can tincture the flowers, leaves and stem too! Or dry for tea.
You can also tincture the aerial parts of the plant. Save that tincture and then tincture the roots in that same alcohol making it a powerhouse! You can even add the seeds!
Don't let all those flowers go to waste!!! 💚🌱💚
You have some beautiful self heal in your garden as well. Also great for tinctures and teas!
It is such a joy to watch and keep up with you. Your recent q&a was particularly helpful and informative. Thank you for giving all of us out here in youtubeland your time and insights.
Hey Becky I don’t often comment but you reminded me of when we first tried potatoes in a big tub for first time just for fun, yes it’s exciting digging the up , bit like mushrooming when you find one but ours was a good laugh as all we got was half a small pan of tiny marble like tatys, we are now in the prossess of trying again but now we know you have to let them die back after flowering so that’s what we doing so hopefully get a full pan this time. I watch all you vids and enjoy them, your a lovely couple , good luck with your baby and new house bet your so excited, take care, from England
I love your videos Becky I must be honest they light up my life. You inspire me so much I’ve grown more this year than I have any year and my harvest is coming in spades. Thanks for your wonderful channel
Labeling Tip: Pencils work well for marking labels. They're erasable and reusable and don't fade in the sun! I'm relatively new to your channel & absolutely loving it so far! You're doing all that I've dreamed of over the years, especially the bulk freezer meals & extensive food storage/preservation. Thank you so much for your inspiration, new ideas & pleasant personality!! 😊💛🌿
I am learning so much from you about soil etc. I live in the deep south (Georgia) so my climate is much different but you are so versed in your explanations that I can use some information here too.
Thank you 😊
If you cover your black beans with a netted row cover for insects it will keep the deer off of your beans and give them a chance to recover without being eaten. We use it in our community garden next to a nature preserve with lots of rabbits and deer. Beans do not need pollinators to produce beans, so no worries about not getting beans.
love these longer videos. so excited for you and josh to get moved and situated. thank you for sharing your journey with us!
Hi Becky, your echinacea plants will transplant just fine if you do the following… don’t cut them back after the flowers have started to die off. Dig up the whole plant with flower stems that are dying off and leaves attached. Plant the whole thing in its new home and water well. Then leave them like that all Fall and Winter. Only cut them back to about 4” from the ground at the beginning of April next year.
I’ve grown echinacea for years and moved home several times. Always brought my echinacea with me and they do just fine 😀
Hi Becky - Thank you for continuing to put out content. Your channel is so happy and real. I like a Sharpee "laundry" marker to mark my plant tags. Built to withstand going through the wash, so they last for seasons! Best of luck with your move!! 😊
Suggestion:. Cut plant off at soil level and leave roots in ground. Keeps nutrients in the ground. Does not disturb soil life that way
I love your idea of braiding the straw flowers in with the garlic. But I wonder if it will work as the stems get so brittle. Can you show us how you do it? Thanks for the lovely garden tour, so many lovely veggies and flowers! Also I've been dying to ask you this(may have already been asked, sorry), but do you ever keep your hair down? I know, silly question🤪
Never planted a seed in my life and doubt I ever will. But I do enjoy hanging out in the garden with you and hearing about what is going on around the homestead. Must just be your engaging personality and enthusiasm for life!
Wax pencils worked really well for me in the garden this year as markers.
The celery with seed heads dries real well to be powdered. It is not meant to eat fresh at that point. 1/8t per 1/2c sea salt makes the best celery salt. Baker Creek has a Chinese celery that handles the heat real well (I keep getting the red and the white mixed up). Also, we don’t have a freeze dryer but do have three dehydrators. We like to slice, blanch and then dehydrate the potatoes to use for scalloped potatoes and throw into soup. And yes, that rudbeckia IS stunning!
@@cynthiafisher9907 boiling the potato slices (blanching) for five minutes and then putting them in an ice bath keeps them from turning. I shorted it the time once and ended up with indigo swirled potato slices, lol. For scalloped potatoes layer the dried potatoes to not quite halfway up a Pyrex dish. Add ranch seasoning if you elect to not use cheese in the dish. Add salt to taste then add milk to just under 1/2 inch from the top. Bake at 325F (Convection) or 340F regular. Check doneness periodically and add more milk when necessary. After it comes out of the oven and cools a little bit a paprika sprinkle or garnished with parsley is nice.
The plants over your cabbage are protecting the cabbage.Your garden is awesome for this time of the year a lot of plants are dying out in our deep south heat.
They sell a gardeners sharpe! on-line from Hoss Tools is where I got mine after pencil on popsicle sticks, pen on craft sticks, sharpe on both, and NONE lasted. This year was great - Gardener Sharpe - Hoss. You will always thank the unknown commenter LOL. If you pick the stem and leaves just above the joint where two leaves are attached to the basil plant it will encourage two stems to grow instead of one. It really bushes out that way!
That rudbeckia is gorgeous . I love your garden tour!
If you plant your corn in your bean or squash beds, it will fair much better than standing alone.
The Native Americans had the 'three sisters'; corn, beans and squash that they planted all together.
The beans set the nitrogen the corn needs, the corn gives the climbing beans structure and the squash helps fertilize the other two.
And that are charts that show which veggies go best together and which cannot stand each other.
Marigolds and tomato work very good companions.
Will you be taking the trellis's, some fencing and the pots with you? That would save you money and give you a lot more options so I was just curious.
Was thinking about that orange construction fencing for the sloping area of her garden to stop erosion. She could put a hay mat down underneath with the fencing over the top held down with landscape pins. It would be easy to plant the squash in the upper squares. Once she can get a winter cover crop in there, she can then remove the construction fencing.
I have planted veg because I watch your videos. I have lots of tomatoes ripening, cucumbers and sweet peppers growing. Bugs ate my green beans and broccoli leaves. Oh carrots and radishes are growing too. Also, dill, beetroot, rhubarb, chard, celery and my ginger is growing! Thank you.
If you've never had pear pickle, you should try it! Oh my goodness! Probably my favorite kind of sweet pickle is pear. I spoon it over my green beans, cabbage, and crowder peas. Yum! I also love pear preserves. I canned pear halves a couple years ago to make pear salad (a southern thang) which is made by putting a dollop of mayo on the pear and adding grated shsrp cheddar on top. Love it!
LOVE Pear salad❣️Haven’t heard of pear pickles but sounds delicious!🤗
Something I found out purely by accident... the first year I had a garden I killed myself weeding in the 90 & 100 plus degree heat to keep it looking nice thinking the weeds would kill my vegetable plants. Not so. Last year after planting my garden a family member became ill & I spent months caring for them & their household, as well as mine, working FT, their Dr. apts, errands, etc. I thought my garden was dead because it was so overgrown with weeds & neglected. I did keep it watered due to 8 weeks of severe drought. But, It was the BEST garden I’ve ever had. I’m convinced that the weeds helped maintain the moisture in the soil & kept the plants shaded enough to keep our scorching summer sun from frying all of it. It was glorious having such a bounty from such neglect. Don’t feel guilty about the weeds. In some cases it’s better for the plants.
Thank you for sharing with us! I am So Excited for the new houses garden plans. Did you know that Basil makes a Great companion plant for tomatoes? Both do better when grown side by side. Also if you plant canandula on the borders of plants bugs really love- like your brassica - bugs will be repelled. Chickens also Adore canandula flowers and it makes the egg yolks brighter and creamier. When I had my sons I used a linen ring sling and just carried my babies on me so I could garden and get things done. It made life so much easier. Happy gardening!
I always plant basil and tomatoes together. They both seem happy about it.
Your garden is beautiful even if there is grass and weeds!
I love your videos. I've always thought about gardening but I feel like I kill everything inside. After watching a ton of your videos I decided to just stick it in the ground and give it a try. I already have things popping up and feel so encouraged by watching you. I agree learning by experimenting in your area is the best way to grow. Thank you for pushing me to start growing my own food. Your garden is amazing.
I kill every house plant..... including the unkillable ones, but I do manage to get my outside garden going really well.... just give it a go!

I am amazed when you pull weeds with one hand and they come out effortlessly. Living in northern Minnesota, the weeds come out with both hands and landing on the behind. We have lots of clay soil conducive to long roots and holding onto the earth.
Love how you snack while talking to us in your garden.
This year we grew corn in our 24x8 garden. It was knee high by the 24th of July. That’s if you stretched it. Can’t wait until next year to watch your terracing and irrigation. Also excited for your busy December. Best wishes to you and your husband. Love to see him more in your videos. He shouldn’t be shy because he is also very talented.
Hi Becky, great to see all of the things in the garden coming along nicely. We are coming into spring here so I have started planting and you have given me so much inspiration and confidence to go ahead and try! Thank you x
Yes Becky the cone flowers will transplant. Cut them back and plant them NOW. That way the roots will be established for winter.
Don’t be discouraged with the peppers. I’m in 5a zone and my peppers are just puny even though they are in the sun!
I'm tired out just watching you!! You are Real Becky!!
