A garden hint for the future: Bring newspapers with you. You can slide sheets up under dried herbs or lay beside not so dried herbs. Wrap around your harvest and fold up. This will save all your leaves and seeds without any mess.

I totally understand gardening for your mental health. While I was caring for my mother in her last stages of cancer and dementia, I needed a place to decompress. My garden became my sanctuary, my church, and my fresh air, a place to find peace amidst the struggle of watching my momma decline. We intentionally build my garden outside her bedroom window, so she could see me, and I could check on her. I planted mixed Zinnias and she loved looking at the colors and her last bouquet was from my garden. My garden was my release, now it is my passion. Every year, Zinnias are planted in the front, the same way they were when momma was with us. It is like having a piece of her still with me when they bloom. 💕🌼🌸

A suggestion for you Becky….before you start sell your house may I suggest that you take all your fencing from the garden. Even your chicken fencing and t posts too. I don’t know about your part of the country, but here on the east coast we have a shortage of fencing and t posts. You will thank yourself for it because you will be able to use it in your new garden spaces.

Saving seeds and already looking forward to spring. In full preservation mode now and my garden did not do well this year in my zone. Weather did not cooperate but I’ll take what I can get. Thank god for local producers who will sell me “ugly” produce cheap which works because I’m just canning and dehydrating anyway. Blessings.

I was so happy to find another kindred spirit who makes many many meals from scratch and works to have homegrown food for her family. I feel like many people hear what I am doing (bake all my own bread, tortillas, snacks etc, grow as much as we can, make deals with local farmers/neighbors to trade baked goods for produce etc.) and they write me off as someone who has too much time on her hands. It is refreshing to see someone who does what I am doing and more. You are encouraging!

Becky-just so you know, I watch your videos for my mental health. I know that sounds weird, but I do. I want to garden and had plans to for my mental health but moved to an area where I can’t right now. Your positive energy and outlook on everything makes me so happy to see. I have severe PTSD and have been struggling in the worst way these past couple years. I found your videos and channel last year, I believe. It has helped with my anxiety in a large way. Thanks for being you.

Wonderful harvest! This year, I have had to rely on God to water and grow my garden that I managed to plant in early spring and summer between taking care of my parents who have had to move in with us and now driving back and forth to the hospital almost every day on a trip that is 45 minutes one way so that my mom can visit and care for my stepdad who has been in the hospital for three months now. My husband planted store bought tomatoes and peppers for me (first time he has ever planted anything in the garden) and we have had a blessedly rainy year for a change. I am amazed at how much I have been able to harvest from the garden the one or two days a week I manage to get in there! Thank you, Lord! I love watching your channel with your upbeat, can do attitude, your boundless energy, and your efficiency when preparing meals for the freezer! Can’t wait to see you grow and learn as you start your own family. God bless you

Putting your coriander in a paper bag is a good idea. Also, picking them a bit earlier when they just begin to turn brown and then letting them dry can keep the seeds on the plant better. Some people even like the taste of green coriander seeds. I really am amazed at all you do and the joy you have and share with us. I only found your channel recently and I absolutely love it. ❤️

Maybe next year when you go to harvest your coriander, you can place a tarp on the ground underneath them before you pull them up? Just an idea. Also, blossom end rot is a calcium deficiency, nut is usually due to not watering often enough. The plant can't absorb the calcium in the soil well enough because it does not have enough water to transport it up the plant. So glad that your garden has been so productive! I can't wait to get mine going for next year now that we just moved in to our first house!

Hi Becky. Oh my goodness. What a beautiful harvest just from those two beds. Also don't say it's my fault when something failed because of lack of watering. Look back at your own videos and see what you've accomplished. You moved and pregnant while at it! Still you get so much from that garden because you have nature run it's course. Sometimes constantly pruning isn't always the best thing and this garden shows it. I can't wait to see more of this beautiful garden. P.S. My tomato plants are getting big on my balcony and the basil is doing amazing! No garden but still fresh products from plants in a container. 😉 Bye my friend ❤️🇳🇱

My tomatoes have been taking forever to ripen in my garden this year. Today my grandma went to join my grandpa. I went out to the garden to have a good cry and all my tomatoes are red and ripe.
