I am currently dealing with squash bugs on mine and that's what they look like. I been using part water,vinger and soap and it seems to be working. Let it sit for 30 minutes and rinse it off. My plants looking good and it kills them.
When are you selling the old house so you can focus on the new one?
I just watched a video about overwintering pepper plants - apparently they're perennial and you can grow some small pepper trees over a couple years! basically he brutally prunted them and potted in root bags... said they need a good sunny window or you can use grow lights!!! definitely save some of your faves!
Becky please harvest your nasturtium seeds. Over the years you will develop some unique variations in the flowers. Things like unusual colors, multicoloured petals, petals which alternate between one color and another, oddly shaped flowers etc. It's so exciting each year to see what you will get. Ours are currently on their 25 generation, and you can imagine how unusual and distinct our nasturtiums are now.
Where do you plan on getting your fruit trees from?
Becky! Thank you for always saying that “we” did things together, even though you do the work and I lay in the bed and watch while eating Cheetos. HA! Seriously though, you are so inspiring!
😂😂😂😂
Eat them with chopsticks to save your fingers!
@@Katheverett someone watches 5 minute crafts ...or parodies LOL
Yes!
Or the cupcake size brownie I just consumed!
Becky you are wise beyond your years. I don’t know about other people but the expression “but that’s ok” floats through my head a number of times a day rather than stressing about things. Thankyou for your wonderful channel.
It's a Tshirt! "But, that's okay!"
@@jenniferr2057 so it is. You learn something new everyday😃 - but that’s ok
Something to remember: Your little one will be eating at least some solid food before your next big harvest. I made my own babyfood for my twins. You may want to consider pureeing single ingredients and then freezing them in ice cubes (about an ounce each). Vac seal and baby's first food will be from mama's amazing harvest! Great for most things, esp winter squash/pumpkins, applesauce, pear sauce, berries, green beans... you know the routine!
Amazing idea!
This right here!👆🏼
I just said the same thing!
I came on to say the same thing
Yes! Good thinking!
Hey friend! Tip about saving that butternut squash, incase you haven’t used it yet, dip the end of the squash (where the stem was) in paraffin wax because it will preserve the spot that’s exposed. Over the summer I worked for an urban farmer and gardener and he taught me and the summer camp he led this trick when we harvested his summer squash. Happy harvest!! 🎃
I can’t even figure out what’s for dinner on any given day, and you’re harvesting and preserving foods for a year or more… amazing.
I love how the chickens get all excited when you walk toward their coop. They know they are getting food.
LOL Ashley, I love chickens a lot as they all have such unique personalities. I love to watch them waddling around the yard especially when they run . . .man that is a sight for sore eyes. Michelle
Whoever gets this next house will be so lucky to have all the fruit trees on the property. That's amazing!! Great job on the garden produce!
I would love to buy her house but I don't wouldn't want to live in that state. Not with the political climate it's currently in. I'm already trying to escape NY.
I was thinking the same thing. They sure would be getting a super cared for garden. I would live to have a garden like that. But mine would have to be a raised bed , due to me not being able to bend over like Becky can. Or kneel in my knees at all.
@@saltycat662 in which state does Becky live?
@@AD-fz4vt washington state - just north of Portland.
@@AB-ol5uz thanks AB 😊
Becky thank you for posting this today. Harvest videos are my favorite. Today was an awful and sad day spent with a family member in hospice... Being able to chill out with my favorite TH-camr before crashing just makes it all a little less terrible. Thank you!
I have a gorilla cart it even dumps with a flick of the handle, great for moving compost or gathering the harvest, so many options
I live in a tiny apartment, but I live vicariously through you and your homestead. Its okay to daydream!
You can grow in pots in a apt. i used to grow in NY in a apt. LOL
@@lovenotes5299 My cat won't let me grow anything. He just wants to destroy or eat anything that grows. LOL
Please do! With no jest whatsoever- Keep Your Dreams In Front Of You AND Work Towards Them.
Very best to you.
@@karibear6504 animals have to be trained , hardware cloth cages around vegetables they can't get to, red pepper flakes to burn their mouth, will cure them, plastic forks sticking up, so they don't use it as a litter box or lay in it, Mint , onions, garlic, can deter most animals (they don't like the smell,etc. get creative lol
We started doing container gardening on the roofdeck of our duplex top floor home three houses from the ocean. We have no land for a garden. It worked out great for our first try! We bought two Greenstalks on sale (like Becky has) to try next year.
I wish I could privately share a picture of my sweet baby with you. I watched your videos my whole pregnancy, my phone resting on my belly, and now whenever I put your videos on she searches for the phone or tv and smiles sooo big when she hears your voice. I love it! She is two months old and just loves you. I can’t wait to watch the videos with her as she gets older.
If you go to Becky's "about" page it gives you her email address and Instagram.

You can't imagine how much I love your videos, especiallyif they are long. I don't comment often because I see your videos from my TV. Your joy and passion for everything is so inspiring and it calms me in some way. You are a treasure, Becky. May God bless you and your family ❣
👏👏👏👏👏
🥰
I agree. Becky, you are very inspiring while being relaxing and enjoyable. Have considered taking a branch or two from your fruit trees and transplanting to the new house? When I was first married we were apple pickers for a local orchard every fall. Part of the fall clean up was to cut the sucker branches from the base of the tree and they would use some of them to extend the orchard. I’m sure it can be done with any fruit tree or any tree for that matter, if researched well.
Me too .i spend the time waiting for new vids watching all old ones i start right at.the beginning of when becky started .and working my way through .absolutly loved this one .i have watched 8 tonight
💖
Hey Becky! Just in case you didn’t know, Asian pears are SUPER YUMMY in marinades. They are awesome when used with garlic, ginger, onions, soy sauce and sesame oil for an AMAZING Korean bbq flare! You can always purée your overripe pears for marinades and even use it on ham. It’s delightful 🥰
I don’t know how you do all you do while growing a baby. You are so inspiring
And it's the 1st baby!!
Becky, the fallen apples and pears would be a delicious treat for your girls! The only fruit my hens won't eat, is citrus, but my duck loves citrus. I love that no food goes to waste when you have poultry. Your sweeties definitely missed you.❤😊
You need a pull wagon with some height on it so your back doesn’t start bothering you when you harvest heavier 🍎
I’m attached to your chickens. I’m afraid they’re lonely, I can see they are attached to you and am delighted you are moving them up to the new house. Can’t wait to see their new coop. That was a massive harvest well done!
the aprons are also great for cleaning the house and moving items that need to go elsewhere, Saves time going from room to room,
so is a medium sized "tea trolley" !
Oooh, great idea!
Please put netting over the top of your chicken coop to protect them. I have it for my dogs because hawks and eagles can lift 9-11 pounds.
Absolutely, you can replace the oil in baked recipes with applesauce. You can barely tell the difference and it is so much healthier for eating.
The good oils are like gold for the body. we need them desperately.
I do this for my brownies and they're so good.
Replacing at least 1/2 of the oil with applesauce also keeps the baked goods nice and moist also along with being super healthy.
you can also use apple sauce as a substitute for egg as well 😊
vegans use apple sauce in their recipes it works well.x
I love how the flowers intermingle with the plants. So beautiful!
I grow mint in pots. I make a strong mint tea and let it cool and spray it on my plants, it keeps some of the bugs away. I started doing this when I noticed nothing ever bothers my mint.
Good idea 👍
I have so much mint planted this is perfect!! I bet it makes the house smell amazing too!!!
That’s great! I’m going to do that next year. My mint is quite abundant, lol.
@@firequeen2194 I don't know what the bugs are that it worked on, but they were on my celery and some flowers.
Apple pie filling! Apple juice! Apple spice cake! Oh so many things you can do with apples!
So I know you are typically a bit more private about things outside of your garden and kitchen, but will you ever do room tours as you decorate and get them set up the way you want? I can't wait to see what you do with the living room and sun room!
i'm not sure that's fair, she's a TH-camr, it's difficult to balance privacy and security with content. her content was always garden/cooking. Would you want everyone knowing the layout of your home? with a baby? and a world full of crazy people?
@@samanthaw1419 She has already shown us both of the rooms I mentioned. I respect her privacy which is why I specifically said "I know you are a bit more private about these things, are you going to show us them after they are decorated?" I know it's hard to read tone through words on a screen, but I have nothing but respect for Becky and would never pester her or judge her for keeping parts of her life private. I was simply asking a question about something that I hope she is willing to share. I also follow Jammerill Stewart and she is also pretty private about her family, and most of her home as well.
@@sophomoric1605
I'm with you. Definitely get the prior posters point but in my reading this came across as initially respectful.
They are squash bugs I get them all the time. You can use soap and water and squirt on them and they die. I seen on TH-cam and it worked for me. I have sensitive skin and this year worst and I been harvesting tomates and didn't know. Thanks for sharing this video. 🙂
I can’t believe the baby is already coming by Christmas! You look amazing 💛
Ikea blue shopping bags make great harvest bags! They are cheap, sturdy, flat-bottomed, impervious to water, can hold a lot and the two sets of handles are versatile.
They are easy to clean too.
I hope the new owners feel as blessed to have your garden as you do. I would absolutely love to have that already prepared.
You biting those peach peppers and saying that's hot, that is good! gave me LIFE. yes, Becky, eat the hot pepper!
The little babe will help you go through applesauce. Toddlers and babies usually love it! They also like the sweetness of butternut squash. I made my own purées for my kiddos.
Love how you show from growing, to preserving, then Using in meals. Full cycle of life…love it!
I love love love how you are demonstrate it is ok to not have a completely perfect looking garden and to be thankful for what you do reap. Last year I just went with the flow and had a great harvest all around, but this year.... not so much. I was more tentative and tried to keep my tomato plants trimmed back and didn't get much of a harvest, my hot peppers are finally coming in and only getting to about the size of your thumb, bell peppers aren't getting passed 2 inches, and my zucchini, squashes, pumpkin, and beans just couldn't stand the heat here in west Texas. I'm ready for a restart next year!
i am from South Louisiana where Tabasco Sauce is made. i grew them this year, and i have peppers coming out of everywhere, lol, i made Pepper Vinegar, using my red and green peppers, using old Tabasco empty bottles, so far, 1 red bottle and one green, :) Still have bunches green peppers left. :)) it is amazing. Alot cheaper too! Takes alot of those little peppers to fill the large bottles. Have a blessed day :)
With everything that you have been dealing with this year I think that your harvest is amazing, you cannot de everything, but everything you do is inspiring
Girl, you are the queen of harvest!! Definitely pull that Tabasco plant up and pot it, over winter it!! You have so much energy and keep me going!! Thank you
Another option instead of apple sauce is slicing thin and dehydrating for apple chips. In the winter you can use the dried apples with other dried fruit to make a delicious hot cider or a juice cocktail.
I planted 4 tabasco plants this year. They are loaded with pepper and they are taller than me. Only 5 or 6 of them have turned red so far. I have noticed a few more turning a orange yellow now. I wanted to try to make some hot sauce with them. There are so many peppers on them they remind me of a Christmas tree. I grew all of them in one grow bag. I live in the Florida Panhandle and it has been extremely hot, humid, and rainy. The bugs have been horrible. My Zucchini did not produce at all this year, but I got a lot of yellow squash. Also I got a lot of butternut squash, but the heat absolutely stunted them. I still got 18 pints put up though, so a win. Your tomato harvest is amazing. I can not grow tomatoes at all.
I can’t wait to see how many potatoes come out of the chicken run! The suspense is killing me. 😂
Me too!
Lol, awesome haul, Becky! Didn't you hear me yelling don't forget the basket for the eggs!
Becky I love that you mentioned the Veggie Boys! Their content, like yours, is something I’m always watching as soon as the videos come out!!! They inspire me to go bigger every year in the garden and their spring seed starting is sooo inspirational!
...and Girls!
I love the Veggie Boys! Just found them, probably because I watch you.
Same! Becky and the Veggie boys (and girls!) are the videos I always watch as soon as they come out. Both channels are so inspiring and uplifting.
Same!!!!
That’s how I found them…I’m so jealous of their gardens
The woodpeckers peck out the tops of my fruit. Ugh. Love your harvest!
My husband and I love your vlog!!! My husband loves how you and Josh do your qt(tasting) your recipes then let's me know we have to make that recipe. Your a great source of information, entertainment for us since my husband just retired! We wish you both the best❤ Dan and Donna Moesta in Hastings MI😎
🙋hi friends...from Bellevue, Mich here .she is great!! I come to your DMV...they are so friendly!
When I was a child, my grandmother had very large apple trees. The type you need a ladder to harvest. When they were mostly ready, the extended family would gather and process into pie and sauce. The nimble steady men & teens were up the ladders harvesting, older kids ferrying the apples into the house. 2 women on pie crust duty (no Cuisinart then!), an older uncle ran the crank machine that peeled and cored the apples, more on apple cutting duty and I recall being in charge of taking their cuts and either putting them into the lemon water to become pie or into the pot for sauce and discarding the rotten bits. I would rotate with my sister on stirring & mashing the sauce. Grandma herself mixed up the apples with cinn & sugar and put into the pie shells, Aunty covered them and into the freezer they went. Grandma had a tall freezer that just held mostly apple pies! All year long, she would pull out a pie when company was over. They were amazing and one of my best memories! Possibly because everyone went home with a pie and container of apple sauce. ;-)
Good morning Becky, yay, the chickens are coming home to their new home. Happy harvesting. FreshApple & Pear sauce would be great to make for the baby.
Freeze dry the apple and pears to make baby food!
Becky, I think Baby “Acre Homestead’s “ first words are going to be “That’s OK”. 🥰💓💓💓
Hey friends 💗
I just wanted to say that you are an absolute joy to watch Becky! ☺️💖
Hi becky, try not to do too much heavy lifting.
Becky, I’m watching this in Feb.2024 and you should watch Laura and Aaron on Garden Answers. They have a beautiful garden and home. Laura sprays her fruit trees and has lots of info you’d enjoy watching.
You are killing it, girl, with all these videos. Tomorrow is my day to make ketchup. I’m using Sarah’s recipe from Living Traditions. She swears it’s like Heinz. 👍🏻🍅
Yes I love #Sarah's on #LivingTraditionsHomestead recipes! Today they announced their house is close! It turned out so beautiful!
Me to! I have been thinking of making Sarah’s recipe as well 😊
@@cynthiafisher9907 I’ll be sure to let you know. If anything, it can be used in bbq sauce or chili.
@@Shannylaice Sarah got pretty excited over this, so I’m trusting that. ❤️🍅
Made Sarah’s ketchup last year and it is the closest thing to Heinz
When your apron was full of tomatoes to the top, THAT is how you will feel with your baby in your tummy come early December. It is a marvelous feeling. It is so fun watching you harvest.
My mother in law had a Tabasco plant on her kitchen table for years every so often it would produce fruit. She didn’t can them but she hung them to dry and never ran out of peppers, from just that one plant
Yes Becky that was squash bugs and you need to call the zucchini a loss and get that plant out of your garden and throw it in with the chickens so they can eat them.
Your Chickens will love your squash bugs, mine love them!!!
I was so happy to see this video up today! I’ve been sick with Covid for over a week now and don’t have any energy or interest in anything! But I love watching my Becky in her garden and kitchen.
Hey Becky! Your fruit elixirs are a great idea. In order for a alcohol preparation to be shelf stable, it needs to be, at least, 20-25% alcohol. When we use standard 40% alcohol, and add fruit to it, that fruit contains water and can dilute your alcohol a bit. When I do my fruit elixirs I usually add about a quarter cup of 75.5% Everclear to help bump up the alcohol content a bit (I start my elixirs in quarts or half gallon jars). If you used a high proof rum, that might not have to be a consideration. I like to sweeten mine with honey once I strain the fruit and spices from the alcohol. It makes a great "sipping" cordial sort of drink. Good luck and enjoy!
You could freeze dry apple slices as "chip". I personally love them, I like mine without the skin but you could always try both and see if you like them before committing to a big batch.
I JUST LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!! I like spending time with you and “doing” things together!!! I’m SO excited for the baby!! You’re gonna be such GREAT PARENTS!!!
I’m 57 years old BUT I want to be just like you when I grow up 😂
So exciting ALL that you harvested!!
Thank you for saving me from watching some of these other depressing videos! Always happy to see you Becky, love hanging out with you and looking forward to what “we’re” going to do today 💜
🤭🥰❣
Make sure to pick up all the droppings from your fruit trees to lessen chance of bugs and disease. Also you can use the over ripe and bad fruit for your chickens to eat. Likewise you can make apple cider out of the droppings and badly bruised apples. Blessings and congrats on your harvest.
I am so excited for your harvest today! The fruit is beautiful! I have a suggestion that would have helped even from the beginning! I have a canvas wagon that folds up that would be of great help! It holds a good bit of food and is so handy for everything! Lot of folks use them at the beach!🙂And it will be helpful as you get farther along and need help transporting things! Hope this helps!❤
Amazon has them in different sizes & different materials & metals.
One fabric that would be great to use for it is Sunbrella it's a canvas that is used for sailboat covers & awnings & is very durable.
I made our hatch covers, awnings, chart plotter cover & numerous bags over 25 years ago & we now have to have new ones made due to all the years of hurricanes & weather exposure.
I don't think the ones online are made with this fabric, but an insert with divider sections can be made to put into & overlap the outside of the cart could be made to give it long term use & could be removed to be cleaned.
Just an idea 💡 😊❣
I remember as a kid,grumbling under my breath for the tedious jobs they assigned me of putting aged manure in the spring around urban fruit trees,and also fish innards and heads from our fish stores,and shrimp shells..but come fall we had the best fruit from the trees ever..We also had 2 harvests of figs,the first ones were giant ones called"Brevas" in Italian followed by the 2nd harvest of just large juicy figs both dark varieties and light ones..so delicious..it was hard to get enough cherries due to the birds and squirrels until Dad put tree netting over them.Fond memories now.
Becky, I just love you and who you are as a person! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you are doing a phenomenal job!
Chickens love the bugs that are in the garden. My mother picks the bugs off the squash by hand and gives them to the chickens. The chickens here love gardens scraps; ie. Bugs, squash vines, apples that we missed; potato plants, etc.
FYI - my daughter (13 months) loves the no sugar added applesauce I made on a whim fall of 2020. I had bought too many apples and made some no sugar added applesauce for baking and then never got around to using it which was a good thing bc my daughter loves the stuff. Just an idea as a can make ahead baby food or toddler snack. 😁
I giggled at a couple points - when the giant summer squash went in the basket and the moment you discovered the spice in the peppers. Thanks for sharing!
Any other Southern gardeners screaming “take the squash, Becky, pick it now.” That really stressed me out, so relieved when she picked it!😂😂 squash bugs are satan’s spawn.
Yes, they are squash bugs and you should be squashing every single one of them, adults (brown) and nymphs (grayish white). They overwinter as adults so if there’s a large population of them overwintering they’ll quickly overwhelm next years garden. But, maybe that’s a problem for the new owner. 😬 I’m out in the garden every spring with a hand held vacuum and a roll of duct tape. I suck up the bugs and peel off the copper colored eggs with duct tape. They’ll eventually get the better of me in the heat of summer but I’ve USUALLY had my fill of squash by then.
Northerners were saying the same lol
The eggs! Getting rid of the eggs is easier!
I don't understand the purpose of squash bugs, other than to annoy gardeners! I have been using the rubber part of garden gloves to remove the eggs, but I like the idea of duct tape! The hand held vacuum for adults is genius! I appreciate the tips.
All the hot temps and drought caused my garden not to do fantastic but I’m grateful for what I got 😊
I love the harvest videos - they are my favorite! And the quality of your videos is so good! I appreciate all your hard work just making these videos, not to mention the produce!
Becky, Maybe in your new garden, put in a mailbox. Keep a cutter, gloves etc in there to use when you forget to bring with you.
So love how much 'we' harvested.
This was my first year gardening and I had squash bugs pretty bad from the get-go.
it was quite the inconvenience, but it's my husband's favorite veggie so I babied those plants till they were DONE for the season.
Here's what I have learned so far ;D
Picking and killing squash bugs and their eggs twice a day (yes, that's not a typo) was my only way to fight off the infestation -because I didn't want to spray my plants with anything.
I hear great things about Neem oil against squash bugs, so that's an organic alternative I am willing to explore next growing season.
Spacing is really important for these plants. The squashes that did best for me were the ones whose leaves were not touching those of another squash plant.
Pruning was a necessary, almost daily, evil. I discovered that (after reaching maturity) the plant doesn't really need any of the older leaves to survive. I made sure to prune off any leaves below the lowest blossom.
Even though zucchini form more of a bush than a vine, helping them growing upward with a tomato cage is going to be my number one priority next year. I am dealing with two teeny-tiny raised beds, so I'm hoping to make the most out of them by training upwards as many plants as I can.
Also, I am going to try to have nasturtium as a companion plant in between my zucchinis, apparently that also helps deterring those pesky bugs.
After this year I can totally relate to the frustration of not being able to grow enough of my favorite crop.
I am rooting for your cayenne pepper plant!
Hopefully it will winter over nicely in your wonderful new home! :D
I didn't realize Tabasco was a kind of pepper, lol! I thought it was like a family name. Ha!
You have been an incredible inspiration for me to dip my toe into gardening and home preservation. My 3 little ones and I went to local orchard and picked 30 pounds of apple this weekend. You gave me the courage to make my own apple sauce and apple butter and it was so good. Apple butter is another great use for apples if you enjoy it. Thank you for being so genuine and honest. I look forward to all your videos!! Keep being awesome!
Agreed and so easy if you need to make a small batch to use up apples. Everything is so expensive but even a few apples can be cooked into applesauce quickly. Really great if you have kiddos for lunches.
Pear butter is really good too.
Back saver idea - maybe leave the large containers in the car / truck and take your roo pouch or small baskets there and empty. then you don't have to pick up heavy stuff, you do have to walk further to the car, but at least it's not with a heavy box or large full basket and you aren't parked all that far away. would let you leave the ripest tomatoes to the side at the car so you can leave them on the top of the container once all the others are in there! Everything would be back at the vehicle to be organized when done.
Really enjoy your harvesting videos!! Especially right now while I'm inside caring for an ailing mother. I'm living vicariously through you and it is a lovely little escape for me. Thank you!!
🌻🌱
Becky, have you ever tried fried green tomatoes? Since you've got so much going on its a way use the tomatoes fresh before they get over ripe and split. They're so good 🤤 Not many stores sell green tomatoes so its a nice treat for tomato growers.
I was thinking the same thing…love fried green tomatoes!
@@juliet1178 I had some in Baton Rouge a few years back and they added a wine cream sauce with lump crab meat. 🤤
I absolutely love your videos! You are such a beautiful, kind, and inspiring woman. I always have your videos playing in the background, while i literally doing everything! And I am so happy for you and your husband to be having a beautiful bundle of joy!
Hey Becky, showed the bugs to a friend and he said they kind of look like stink bugs, but most definitely some kind of AFID. You can sprinkle either diatomaceous earth or seven dust and it should get rid of them. Love your videos and wish you all well.
Your videos motivate me Becky to save money to get some land and do my own gardening! 😍
You really take care of & appreciate your spouse! And you are a joy to watch- love when you include views of your pets, they are beautiful! What kind are they?
Miniature Australian Shepherds, Susan, Becky’s Mom .
I am so invested in the chickens! I keep watching and waiting for the big move! Can't wait to see the video!
Me too!
You can take your pepper plants indoors over winter and then you will really get a head start! That’s what I plan to do this winter
Such a bountiful harvest! Hope the chickens did well in the move!
LOVE THE VEGGIE BOYS!! I watch all their videos and seeing the closeness of the different generations in their family really touches my heart. ❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
Yay, can’t wait to move the chickens!
You should get yourself a wagon/cart. When you harvest, you can put your baskets or boxes on the cart and fill them up. Once you're done you can wheel the cart to your vehicle, instead of having to carry them.
With all those apples, definitely make apple pie filling and make some more hand pies you can freeze. Also, making some goodies as presents for christmas is a great idea.
Beckyyyyyy I'm due early December too! I'm so jealous I've been on "reduced activity" so it's like bedrest since 19 weeks and watching you is giving me so much hope for next year cause this year is a write off 🤣🙈
Some 40 years ago when I was in my 20's I had the squash bug problem, my grandfather told me to take flour and place it around and on the ground under the plant. I thought how could that work but it did. The only thing is that I live in the panhandle of Texas were it is very dry. I hope it works for you.
My husband and I watch the Veggie Boys together as much as I watch your videos, Becky!! Which is every time a new video is up..lol It's kind of funny, I'm always referring to things YOU do or say, and my husband is always referring to things Andrew from the Veggie Boys says!🤣❤️
@@davidospina5216 Also not interested in your scamming ways.
I get so excited when your videos come out, love the longer videos. Thank you for your hard work appreciate it more then you know.
Any of the berries you have infused into gin would be fantastic! Especially blackberries!
Ooh! Blackberry brandy is my favorite winter cough/cold “medicine”, lol. Warms you right up.
We recently did earl grey tea infused gin with local loose leaf tea and made early grey marTEAni’s SO GOOD!
Nasturtiums, blooms & leaves are very yummy. Great as a salad with steak because they're so peppery!
You have inspired me to start a garden. :) Although I worry that I may not enjoy it, that maybe I just enjoy seeing you having a successful garden. We shall see lol.
start by planting things you like to eat! and plant lots of flowers bc why not?
Your peppers do ripen off the plant if you are feeling the time crunch in going back and forth to your garden Becky. I think your garden is production heaven , what a fantastic harvest...🙂
So peaceful watching you pick fruit 🤗🌸🤗
Homemade infused alcohol and really any homemade products (vanilla, jams, etc) are PERFECT holiday gifts!!
Hi Becky! Another great video!! I love how long your videos are. I'm cleaning up my kitchen while watching. I just made that Tomato Pie from your last video you shared. I just pulled it out of the oven and it smells amazing! Can't wait to try it once it's cooled down. Thanks for all your inspirations!! Bless you!
You get more done in a day than most people do in a week or more. How do you stay so productive and motivated? I really admire that in you. I spend way too much time thinking about the things I want to do and disappoint myself because I get so little of it done😩.Please share how you do it on one of your videos PLEASE. Hope baby is doing well🧸🤰🏻👶🏻
Applesauce works really good to replace the oil in cakes cupcakes etc. I just made today a carrot cake and instead of the oil I used apple sauce. delicious!thanks Becky!
I add cinnamon Red Hots candies to my applesauce. It’s beautiful AND delicious! Makes a great gift for the holidays. Just add a circle of plaid or holiday fabric on top & tie with a green ribbon. Gorgeous!
Hi Becky! Have you considered overwintering your pepper plants? I didn't know this until recently, but pepper plants are perennials and can live multiple years. For climates with a killing frost, you can prune them back at the end of the season, dig them up, and keep them inside for the winter. Then when it's warm enough next spring/summer you can plant it outside again.
Make sure to get plenty of cuttings from these fruit trees. Those cuttings make good gifts and you can start an orchard for cheap using your existing trees.
I live through your videos. I truly feel like I'm there with you. Thanks for doing what you do. I live in the desert so this is great I can't grow anything. Thank you
Why can’t you grow anything? Not being snarky- it’s an honest question. I live in the desert, too, and my garden and orchard are producing. Do you have water restrictions where you live?
@@doubles1545 I am surrounded by rock and plants just don't like rocks. It's okay though my thumb is pretty black anyway.
I'm in the desert, too! Yippeee. 🥳
No topsoil, from the "all but one day a year" wind.. and yeah, plants and rocks are not a match made in heaven. A few carefully sheltered potted plants keep me busy with my watering can! Good luck!
Gardening in the desert is hard, no question.
