Now That's an Amazing Before and After!

[@candicebentley718]

In your grow room now (and later in the greenhouse) what about installing a big whiteboard? You could map your beds out on it and mark what is in each bed. This would allow you to make changes as you plant. Plus it would give you a "map" of what is planted where. (sorry I am a big visual person lol)

[@heathernotzdaniels6350]

Me too, I have a binder with maps in slip sleeves to protect the pages. One that says where I am planting everything for planning purposes and then one for what actually gets planted and where. It's nice to look back at past years and see my progress as well.

Keep in mind that you can use taller summer plants like tomatoes to extend cool weather crops like lettuce. So if you were to switch your lettuce and tomatoes by the time the tomatoes are taller they'll start providing some filtered shade to your lettuce right when they need it.

In case you didn't already know- there is an attachment for the pressure washer that is specifcally for power washing large stones/concrete slabs. It's a kinda big black/grey disk shape head attachment that you kinda skim along the floor like you would a mop/steam/vacuum, and it keeps the spray more centered and contained and makes the pressure stronger for sectioning on flooring! 🥰 other than that tidbit wonderful video, super relaxing and fun as always!

Hi Becky. I'm not trying to talk you out of anything, but I had a very large greenhouse and the upkeep on it was extensive.

Looks great! That’s the trouble with full free ranging- they get broody in the Spring and start making secret nests all over the place. We’ve had great success with keeping our chickens in our large fenced orchard. It’s a dual use area- fruit and eggs 😁. The chickens scratch up bugs and fertilize trees. When we muck out their coop, we use their bedding/poop to mulch trees. We also grow roses in there. Blueberries go somewhere else because the chickens peck off the buds in the Spring. It actually works really well!

The paper towels absorb any excess water and after a day or so the lettuce is much more crisp than when I picked and it stays nice for at least a week. This also works on my green lettuce and spinach.

Great video, Becky! Just a head's up that it's recommended to do pressure washing with closed-toe (ideally steel-toe) shoes. If it's high enough pressure and at the right angle, the water can cut through skin or rubber.

You can pressure wAsh your cushions too

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Now that you have all the chicken poop (etc.) washed off the patio area, you can "soft wash" the same areas... You might want to wait until you've finished your hardening-off and planting, since that will add additional dirt on your concrete. After that: For every gallon of water, mix 2 c of bleach and a big squirt of dish soap (I like Dawn). Take a sprayer (or watering can) and apply that mix thoroughly to the area. Allow it to sit for at least 15-30 minutes, then just hose it all off (no need to pressure wash it off). I think you will be surprised to see how much "cleaner" everything looks! If you don't have "chunky stuff" (like chicken poop!), it is a much faster and easier method than pressure washing -- with FABULOUS results!

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Oh, and BTW, you can use this same solution on your siding and plastic or wicker patio furniture, too! (If you have colored cushions, I would test the colorfastness, first...) It cleans and disinfects!

The only thing to consider with the weed fabric is it will definitely raise the soil temperature and could cause cool season vegetables to bolt before maturing. It may not be an issue where you live so it’s definitely worth a try. I live in the south and weed fabric doesn’t work for me. I really don’t have a big problem with weeds in my raised beds. Everything looks fabulous!

Same! Plus the first couple of years, the weed aren't as aggressive in the raised beds, especially since Becky has gravel in between her beds. But, who knows? It might be just the best discovery ever!

I do all the pressure washing, and when we lived in a snow area for two decades, I shoveled all the snow. I enjoy it, my husband doesn't. He does other things. It works.

You are a blessing to us also. I love watching your videos. You do great research, comparisons and you give your honest opinions, and you show your whoops and uh oh and I appreciate being so real! Thank you Becky!

I enjoy those carpet cleaning videos too, so relaxing, and lawn mowing. The taller the grass, the more satisfying to watch. My son and I have plans to try some of your recipes next month while I'm visiting him. It's just a question of how to choose which recipes!
