Links are affiliate links, but I will only recommend items I LOVE and use daily with no extra cost to you, and it helps support the channel! Thank you for your support!
I LOVE hearing you talk through the benefits of things before, during, and how they worked out after, like moving the chicken run. Also when you say "that we made together" about something it pulls at my heartstrings 🤗 I've never felt so connected to a TH-camr and I think that comes from your open, honest, down to earth chats with us 🤟
I agree! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Beautifully stated!
Same! She's fantastic isn't she?
@@mllee2008 indeed she is!
Agree 👍 100%.
Your husband seriously married a rockstar! I wish I had a quarter of your energy and organization to get things done. Thanks for sharing your day Becky!
Yes he did and he might not even know what gem he has
Becky, use an old canning jar lid to scrape the inside of your pumpkins and squash - it works sooooo much better than a spoon. I save one of each size in my kitchen drawer, just for scraping out pumpkin guts. Try it, you will never go back!
Aren’t those lids so handy? I use one to scrape the sourdough out of the bowl and onto the counter before I shape it for a second rise💚
Best thing ever!
@@maryegerton6848 I do, too! They are wonderful scraping tools!
I’m going to try this! Thanks for the tip 😊
This is brilliant! Thanks for sharing this tip!
I might have mentioned this before:. You're the Bomb, Becky!
My lovely oldest Sister expressed to me, years ago, something that has stuck with me for 40 some years now:
"Creative Minds Are Rarely Tidy"
So true!
Great video, as always! The one thing I'd say is that the light that shines in through the side of your drapes, onto your seeds on that shelf, might be a concern. Storing seeds in a darker location might be better 😊
Yeah im thinking that broken/useless deep tall dhelf in her kitchen she can easily fit them in there and stack them and she does most her seed stuff in the kitchen area anyway and inside the cuoboard will be dark and cooler than outside.
Yes, pls move your seeds to a darker location.
Yes, I was going to recommend she put up a black out shade in addition to the drapes. It will keep the room cooler too, and extend the life of her produce.
It is my goal for my inner critic voice to be as kind when I have a bump in my day as Becky’s. Every time you mess up and I hear a calm, “that’s okay”. My first thought is she missed her calling to be a teacher, and my next thought is her parents had to be amazingly supportive for her to hear and repeat that each time a challenge presents itself to her. Everyone needs the kinda monologue that is reassuring and optimistic.
She kinda is teaching. ❤️
So beautifully said! ♥️
You are such an amazing young lady! Such a hard worker, your parents did an wonderful job raising you!
You are so sweet and upbeat! You encourage me to "get it together" and organize! Thank you!!
Hi Sherri
Keep a sharp eye on those trees for bad/weak branches so they don't squash the coop or the run. Yum cooking ideas I don't have to scratch my brain for ideas. As for the beans Seed Saving and regrowing into food may be the only way we secure our future.
Make sure you look for tried and true heirloom seeds if you want to save from year to year. IF you save hybrids...you might get different types from SAME plant...and not always edible. Could that be the issue with the pumpkin looking like a cross with spaghetti squash? I don't know, but I do know I got a HUGE blue Hubbard type squash from replanting some saved squash seeds one year. I didn't even know I had one, cause it grew over the 6ft fence and ran around my neighbors yard. They came and asked if they could pick it in the fall. WELL...I never planted any such squash...but it either came from a saved seed hybrid of some sort OR the squirrels planted it. Can't believe my neighbors didn't complain about a rogue vine coming from my squash patch. I actually found a couple of smaller ones well hidden ones in the corner where the garner snake nests were...which is why I didn't mess too much in that area. LOL. Good squash at smaller than a basketball. NO idea how they managed to eat the monster that escaped or if it was good.
While you're getting snow. It's the perfect temp here on SC Ks. Not too cold not too hot. Been puttering around my garden. Getting it cleaned up and rebuilding my veggie beds. Cutting organizing wood for the fire pit/ grill.
We still have 5ft of snow on the ground so I can relate.
I had a pumpkin gifted to me by friends from their garden, back in October. I finally got around to making pumpkin marmalade in February. Lol My first attempt. It turned out well. I gifted a jar to another friend and he used it as a glaze on some duck he roasted. He said it was yummy.
I get that issue with the broth when I use red onion skins. It goes super dark and tastes a bit off. Now I use brown and white onions only and not had an issue since!
About how many black bean plants did you take to grow that many beans? Love your channel♥️ you are such an inspiration to a first year gardener!
I’m here for the answer because I was going to ask this also. LOL
Would love to know how many plants, as well
and what kind exactly? did you buy seeds or just use the ones from the store?
Me too...what kind of beans were they?
I been gardening for a minute! (A minute Passed 10+years 😆) and Becky is a great inspiration to me to, plus an awesome cheerleader! I'm glad we have her on the team! Happy Easter everyone and God bless.
I love your videos and the sound the jam made going into the jars, it's a happy sound. You got an amazing amount done, rest and enjoy yourself.
Hi Sandy
Oh this April snow..... My bottle calf got so sick and dang near died because of the temperature drop but he rallied and is doing good now. Canned chicken for the first time thanks to the snowy cold weekend. ❤ From Central Oregon!
You can add more shelving units to store the buckets
I am just settling down for the evening and was so excited to see you have posted a video! You have inspired me in so many ways! My 11 year old son even enjoys watching your videos with me and he said you give him ideas on what to make his garden look like in Animal Crossing (Nintendo Switch game) lol! He's going to be helping me plant a real garden this year 😁 Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us ❤️
Electric pressure canner! I had no idea, but just ordered one from eBay. I have a glass top stove so I can't use my big pressure canner on it. I end up using it outside on one of those turkey fryer gas burners. It's dicey when there is any wind and I have to watch it like a hawk. That also means I can't can in the winter when the ambient temperature rarely gets above 30º. I like to put up homemade soups in pint jars since there are just two of us, so this is going to be perfect--hope I can sleep tonight! Last year I got an electric waterbath canner which saves me from carrying a huge pot of water from the sink to the stove (I'm old). These two appliances are going to make my life so much easier.
Becky - I live south of you near Salem Oregon and we had snow as well.. I have peas and potatoes planted - the peas are breaking ground - I am so hoping the snow hasn't killed them. Oh and onions too... Great video ! I have done many things that you have shown in your videos- like the seed organizer - brilliant. And wine cap mushrooms :) getting ready to plant/spread spores around my blueberry bushes.. we love mushrooms! Peace !! Have a wonderful day.
The snow is beautiful! Finally having a warm spring day here in NC (mid 70’s) so glad to take a break from yard work and watch your new video! I’m thankful to have stumbled across your page last year, you have the best personality and are so motivating!
What area of NC do you in ? I live in Eastern NC
I’m in Western NC! At the base of Blowing Rock/Boone for the most part ☺️
Also in NC here! Raleigh area. Nervous to move my seedlings outside so I’m waiting another week or so lol
@@growyourpeace2210 yes! Same here… we are expecting some lows in the 30s again next week so I’m holding off as long as I can. The anticipation is killing me 😆
I totally understand your thoughts on growing your food and loving being at home doing all the things its a feeling of goodness in your heart Love your energy and all you do
Enjoyed the video. Your energy level is above the moon. The heavy snow popping the tree limbs reminds me of something I experienced years ago. We had "Thunder Snow" in October and we had power failure since it took out the power lines. You are lucky it didn't happen to you.
I used to make apple sauce every year and would always make a blue plum cake the same day. Then I would cook down the apple peels, strain the juice, add the plum juice from the can and make apple plum jelly (sugar too). Omg...so good! My grown son still begs for me to make the jelly and I'm pretty much out of the canning business,! Also, $4.50 is nothing for canning lids....I was looking for some a couple of weeks ago and they were $9.50 for 12 lids, no rings!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds delicious. Also sounds like an opportunity to pass down the canning reigns.
Recipe please! This sounds fabulous.
They're the equivalent of $15 for 12 at the moment where I live! It's just not worth buying brand ones at that price, I'd rather just freeze or chance it with a cheaper brand.
I only fold my sheets when going from winter to summer; I have cotton and bamboo for the warmer seasons.
My iron deficient self would love that broth 😂 theres actaully fish shaped iron that you put in pots to give the iron leech affect you get from cast iron to help with anemia if you dont do all your cooking in cast iron.
Or for example in an electric kettle so every time you have a hot drink that day which can be 3 or more easily for most people youll be getting a little bit of iron 😊
I really love your channel. Back in the day (approx. 45 years ago) my husband and I would can Tomatoes for spaghetti sauce and it was always the hottest day of the year. We ran all of it through a hand cranked sieve to get it smooth. It was a lot of work. We also blanched 100 ears of corn and cut it off the cob for freezer pints. It was delicious. I also made strawberry jelly and I didn’t even like strawberry jelly so I gave it to my father. He loved it.
I like to cook pumpkin with brown sugar and cinnamon and then let it drain. I make homemade sweet bread to make empanadas with the pumpkin. My grandson loves it. I don't get tired of watching your videos.
Absolutely love the fan trick with the black beans!
Didn't we just talk about not trusting the last frost date? I hope the bedding plants are okay.
The last frost date I saw for my area here in western WA was in May, not March. I was kinda surprised when she mentioned a last frost date in March.
That’s why she hasn’t planted anything yet. I think she said she will wait another two week.
@@KeyClavis I have family in Olympia and family in Portland. Even just a couple hours distance means very different frost dates. The dates in Oly are very similar to mine in CO while my family in Portland could have 4 months extra growing than we do! Of course those are just averages and those wet springs out there come with their own challenges.
@@jodieh4739 They do indeed. And the slugs...
Thanks for the real person vibes. You’re awesome!
You have so much energy everyday...AWESOME shows!
The first thing I thought of was how will u clean those beans. That is absolutely brilliant. That’s one hack I won’t forget.
I love saving the seeds from my pole lima beans. Several years ago I noticed that the type I like were getting harder and harder to come by. Now I can't find them anywhere but in my seed collection. It always makes me feel better when I know I can not only preserve my produce but the ability to preserve my seed stores.
What variety do you have? Ive been looking for a good type.
@@EmmaAppleBerry Sieva (Carolina) Lima Beans, they are a small lima bean with about 4 seeds per pod. In Maryland, I can plant in July and if the weather is good continuously harvest into November. They may be available somewhere but whenever I would look for them they weren't available.
Omg your yard is sooo beautiful and snow is awesome.
Girl, you accomplished so much!! Good job and thanks for sharing!
Lots of downed branches on our side of Vancouver. We’ve been spoiled and use our wood burning stove most all winter and Spring.
I bet you are happy to have that big bowl back that the beans where in!! I've had the same thing happen to my dutch oven. It would have this black, greasy film on top of my ham and beans. I couldn't figure it out. I ended up striping it reasoned and that did wonders! I couldn't tell you why it happened though. You should be so proud of yourself Becky! Three home grown foods added to your bellies and shelves! I know I'm proud of you! Thanks for all the inspiration!
What do you mean by striping it?
@@Not-thatKaren you put it in ! 400° oven and ge tit super hot
Take a crumbled piece of foil Nd scrap all the sides down. Put it back in and do that a couple of time. Then you reason by adding oil/lard and putting it upside down in the hot oven and get that puppy seasoned up! There are several ways to do it, this one works for me! Good question!
Becky, life is a work in progress! Only god makes everything perfect. I think ur right about the cast iron pot. Never done that before, just reseason . I know how crazy the weather is I am in Idaho and it's been weather crazy here too! I love watching u.i smile when u r on. I remember when I had that much energy. Now that all my kids r grown ups I don't have that much energy left anymore. Love to ur fam.
It's absolutely amazing how many things you accomplish in one day! And all with a great attitude even when something goes wrong.
I truly enjoy how real you are!
Someone else may have mentioned this (sorry for the redundancy if so) but with the jackolantern type pumpkins they are more stringy especially if they are a little older and dryer. Still totally useable just blend smooth after cooking!
I didn't know that. I recently ate two pumpkins that had gone stringy. One we ate as spaghetti with sauce, and the other turned into soup and blended just fine.
Gosh - i just adore you. Just found your channel recently and really enjoying it. Thanks for what you do.
Hi Janet
I only boil things in my enamel coated Dutch oven. The uncoated cast iron will do that every time.
I so love the "real life* aspects of your videos. This is most of us in our day to day. ❤️
We all are working on ourselves. I am so like that too.
We used to have a wood stove for heat, we would try to get trees so we wouldn’t really have to chop/split to small , 20” lengths . We would use a mix of birch and pine . We now have a pellet stove which I live the cleaness of just opening a bag and pouring it into the hopper . No spiders from the wood .
My 3 favorite things about witnessing you on your channel is your gratitude for nature, your patience in chaos, experimentation, or a ‘change of plans’, and the way you include your hubby and/or us every time you say ‘we’ as you go. It is superbly needed for those that have watched you grow and expand!
I especially love your multiple camera angles recently, yet I do still love the ways you grab your camera and make Sure we can see what you want us to see!
In Europe we use Weck jars and they have reusable silicone lids, no extra cost and better for the environment 👌
You get sooo much done!! And you can run dishwasher, washing machine, and shower at the same time!!!
I was very interested when you put the onion skins in the broth. They gave me such a bad taste. I tried it once and never again. I did mine in the insta-pot so the pot wasn’t the problem. You are so inspiring!
I had Friday off work and we all know that we want to be productive. Because of the global shortage my medication was out at my pharmacy for 8 days . I have chronic pain so I had a lesser dose the Dr was testing so I wasn’t able to get much done. I had to give myself some Grace 🙏❤️ Medication finally came in and I was able to shop today! Baby steps ! and you got so much accomplished! Yay Becky !
Becky, You can buy bulk pectin on Amazon. So much cheaper than individual boxes. Works great
You are such a gem. Goodness! I love how real and down to earth you are, this one made me laugh several times. I love , love watching you live your best life, especially when I feel lonely in the kitchen tidying up post dinner. They always make me feel like loving on my home and my people even more, taking those extra steps tidying, prepping, etc. thanks for the helpful tips and keeping me company!
Sister! You are amazing! I wish a had a fraction of your energy! Keep up the awesome work! You did a wonderful job!
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos! You’re such a breath of fresh air. Keep doing what you’re doing!❤️❤️❤️❤️
You just mentioned your dehydrators. I have one arriving today! Can you do some dehydrating videos? Love watching you! You inspire me to get busy!
So beautiful with the snow fall , love the quietness when it snows . We get a ton over the season .
Brilliant idea to clean the beans
ok im not the only one who gets a case of the "library voice" when snow is falling. How beautiful!
That snow is beautiful.
I love that you smell and touch all your food!!! It is so important to use all your senses when cooking.
Your productivity levels are inspiring. I can tell you do what you do because you really like it! 🙂 I’m so excited to can and grow my own foods - starting with the things I eat most often! Like onions, squash, zucchini, carrots, and some herbs 🤸🏾♀️
😳When the video first started playing I thought you were posting an old story. Snow?!?! No thank you. Yeah it was beautiful but I’m in NJ and we get enough snow. I think by the Christmas holidays I’m over it. At least until the middle of a blazing August when I pray for a blizzard. Anyway LOVED hanging out today. You did accomplish loads!! And yes indeed the added shade will make those girls more comfy in the heat. Also it deters birds of prey and provides additional protection. The birds of prey prefer a clear open path. Not saying all the time but they prefer a clear flight path. And I knew you’d love those storage containers like I do. And girrrrrrrl when you put that pumpkin bread in the oven I shook my head and said out loud “You didn’t set a timer did ya?” LOL. your expressions are always priceless!! 🤔😳😊 Thanks for taking us all along. ❤️
Don’t be embarrassed, it makes us feel better knowing you deal with the same things we do!!!
That technique with the fan and the beans is called winnowing! Very efficient
You are so inspirational. Thanks to you I did the laundry and cleaned while listening to you. All before I took a shower and got on with my day.
You are just so genuinely happy as a person and it makes me happy to see people choose happiness.
Becky You rocked this day! you accomplished so much you should be so happy and you inspired me so much 🥰
We got snow in Spokane, too, so focused on indoor projects instead.
Your method with the beans is called winnowing as in whinnowing the chaff from the whea
Becky, as always you amaze me with how much you get done. You are such an inspiration. Love your videos
Your amazing. I love your energy. I get it about raising your own food and having your own seeds to save for next year’s planting. Love your channel. The snow is beautiful!
Love your channel Becky. I remember when I used to get that much done in a day! lol. I love my cast iron pans but there are certain things I won't use them for. I never really thought about it before, but I guess that is just wisdom passed down to me from my mother and her mother before her. I just always use my stainless steel stock pot to make my chicken stocks.
Love when you do food preservation videos, waiting for your next freeze dry food video. Such a productive day!!!!
I freaking love this channel! Youre so cute- your honesty and knowledge is so endearing
Becky you killed it today! You got so much done, very impressed! Congratulations on your accomplishments on this snowy day! Wow!
I love your positive attitude!!! 😊
That happened to me with an Italian beef stew I made once in my cast iron Dutch oven. The broth was BLACK and the meat seemed fine but the liquid we use to soak the bread and other things was ruined. I had to get rid of the Dutch oven.
You just wear me out Becky!!!! I love how you get so much done in a day. I am so full of arthritis &your energy keeps my mind " young" as I used to be like you! Just LOVE your home. Your cabinets are to dream for. I have not been able to can this year. I hope to do some dried beans if I ever feel up to it. Your snow may be late, but a beautiful picture! Love & Blessings from Fla.
You could get those broom hangers and stick your brooms to the side of your fridge!
Whoah! Snow!! Wow!!!
Hello! I’m a new subscriber. I’m currently watching this video and am only 3:59 minutes in. The snow looks incredible!!! I’ve only seen a few other videos and I’ve just have to say I admire and respect you so much. You have an incredible work ethic. You’re such a hard worker. You inspire me big time!!!! You’re awesome!!!!!!! So happy I stumbled across your page. Also, you also have such a beautiful personality. I really like you and am learning so much. Thank you for all that you share. I am so appreciative and grateful. God bless you! ❤️
You accomplished a lot. You should be proud! Thanks for sharing all with us!
I've never seen such a productive person in my life! and I LOVE it!
That looks beautiful. I live in texas and we had a late freeze after our last frost date 3/10 it drop to 26/28 on the weekend.
Can you answer a few questions? I was told I can’t pressure can on my glasstop stove but you did. Was I told incorrectly? We’re your plums peeled? Did you not have to soak your lids ?Love your energy. I just found you and I am in awe.
You can can on a glass dove if it’s the presto canner I have it linked in this video. I did not peel the plums and you do not have to soak lids anymore. Thanks for watching
@@AcreHomestead thanks. I’m so happy I found you. I’m going to binge watch your past videos. I’ve wanted to learn to can and garden. Thank you so much for your quick reply.
I love this. I have a few projects around my home I need to get done.
I just moved from WNY state to NC this past year so I can relate to April snows! The thing about overnight snow is, you don't know it's there until you awake up. Wow!
Great idea to clean the beans!
I'm learning so much from your video's and I love how you multi task and can accomplish with your time
I reduce the sugar all the time and rarely have an issue. Most jam recipes are ridiculously high in sugar.
Would love to know what you learned about the broth mishap!
WoW it looks so beautiful outside , was wondering what happen to ask the flowers 🌺 🌸 you bought. And the towers . I know one was for strawberries and I forgot what was the other. Everything Looks delicious ! Luv your video
That way of cleaning the beans is GEEEEEEEENIUS!!!!!! Hahaha, fab idea, Josh!!! :D Much love to you guys!! xoxox
Ok the fan and black bean trick was brilliant, absolutely brilliant!! LOVE THAT. ~Mary
Why did you want to can the black beans? Surely they take up way more space like that and black beans don’t need soaking, and don’t take very long to cook.
When I pulled up my TH-cam n this video was the first thing on my feed I said OUT LOUD "oh yay!" Ahah I jus love your videos n I don't even cook or garden, you're jus such a fun person to watch it jus helps my mood ! But I've been binging your videos for a couple weeks n I'm getting low on having any left idk what ima do when I'm done watching them all lol that's why I was happy to see another new one! 💕
try to make something easy that will give you confidence it will make you happy.x
Such a satisfying video.
I am absolutely the same way with the dishwasher. Lol. Glad I’m not alone.
You make each day brighter with your attitude and knowledge 🙌🏻❤️
