If it is clean up with soap and water= means it is water based. Means you can clean and re-use your rollers and brushes. It will be waterproof after it cures. The down side to this is that you may need to do this every year (depending on the weather in your area), It should be recommended on the can. It's a lot of work, but it is protecting your investment. An oil based stain sealer wont hurt anything because it is on the outside of the beds. And it will last 3 - 5 years. However- you can always put oil base over water base- but you can not put water base over oil base. The Bees wax (costly) is primarily used on the inside of the beds before you fill them. to protect the wood.

I have grown kajari melons two ways. The first time I grew them on the ground and when they were almost ripe the ants got into them and they were ruined. The second year I grew them I tied them in nets on a trellis. When they were ripe they dropped from the vine but were suspended in the net so I got to enjoy them. They are delicious!

[@janehall6842]

Becky, I really enjoy your videos. I'm 67 and have been gardening and cooking my whole life. They are my favorite things. I've learned a lot of new things from your videos. I do have a suggestion about your garden. You mentioned taking the landscape fabric off before the winter but I would suggest leaving it on over the winter to prevent weed seeds from blowing onto your soil and then switch the fabric around in the spring if you need to.

[@rev.crystalcoulter1784]

I am in the High Desert of Oregon and have always started pumpkins. When the pumpkin starts grow to have 2nd set of leave I will transplant to 6” pot then to the ground. We alway have 100% success with this method… being gentle to not compress the roots during transplanting. Since we lack native pollinators, we manually pollinate to gain maximum yield. The anatomy is easily recognizable (male/female, human like 😉). Clip the male flowers and place in the female flower to Pollenate… Wishing you the very best with growth and I hope these tips are helpful.

[@marge3157]

Hello from Lake County!

[@transplanted.homestead]

I think you have a really great setup with these raised beds. Good amount of space between them, good sunlight. Another advantage to planting your taller crops on the back side of each bed is that it will make it much easier to harvest higher crops from the side where the ground is higher. Imagine having tomatoes or corn on the front side where the bed is super high… you would need a ladder to pick tomatoes 😂. If I had your setup I would totally plant bush beans along the front edges because you won’t need to bend much at all to pick them. 👍

[@happyman-oh4vb]

Hi

[@1RodeoMom]

So nice of your Dad coming over to assist you. Asked my daughter at first to assist but her and her husbands helper helped me. He dug all our holes for our tomatoes then I went in and planted them. That was a huge reinforcement! What a team you two make. Just like You and your Mom in your kitchens. We at 91 degrees right now glad I got into my garden earlier when it was 85 degrees. LOL!!

[@katehopkinsbrent5573]

Watching you with your dad makes me happy but makes me miss my dad more. I lost him back in 1985 😪. I was only 26. I worked in my gardens most of today but the wind came from nowhere and so bad we had to come in. Even the hens ran to their coop. 😄. Love watching them run 😄😄. I have just one raised bed made of big square stones. Holds the heat and my herbs go crazy. Already harvesting rosemary and dill. Love how your garden is. It was hard to imagine but THANK YOU for bringing us with you and watching the progress. You’ll be SO glad with a green house. We’ve had frost warnings the last 3 nights and I have row covers but the potted plants i just wheel them into the green house with what’s growing in there. Lots of room in the center lane 😁 I can definitively fill it. So much easier than in and out. Also, the way I harden off my plants is set them in a shaded area that the sun will hit- it is a gradual introduction

[@RD-mz5sy]

Dear Becky, thank you so much for your videos. They always brighten my day. I’ve gardened for many years and one of the most useful things I’ve invested in is a Brother hand held label machine. When I get a new seed packet I straight away print out a label for the solid label stick. The labels are weather resistant and I’ve had some last several years. So easy to move from seed tray to individual pot and then to outside in the garden. Might be an idea for you in the future. It’s useful indoors of course too. Keep up the good work love. Ros x

Hello

[@sherryarritt]

Hi there Miss Doe Eyes! I have been growing zinnias for decades and the best way is to direct sow the seed. You will so many beautiful blooms. Be sure to cut them often to encourage them to bloom even more! Another tip, put pulverized egg shells, banana peels, aspirin and some Epsom salt in each hole before you set out your tomatoes. It may be too late for this year, but note that for the future. Your videos really brighten my day and help me get motivated. Love from Kentucky!

[@karlamandrell3954]

She broke a egg in the base of each hole she dug for each plant. I do the same and add banana peel . But not Epson salt , hear good and bad about that. So I had some leftover potassium tablets I couldn't swallow, and( Dr. prescribed capsules instead). I ground them in my coffee grinder to use in soil for tomatoes, I also use it in my homemade Gatorade, waste not,want not . 😂

[@saraloggins8365]

I used mineral oil on my beds once after I set them up 10 yrs ago and they are still in great shape. I probably need to apply it again. You reminded me that it probably needs to be done soon.

[@rachelmiller7722]

Becky, Home gardeners don’t really have to rotate crops every year. That’s for large scale farmers that really strip the soil by planting the same crop year after year. You’ll be just fine planting the same plants in your landscape holes for a few years. My grandparents planted enormous gardens every year in the same spot and never had trouble.

[@christinej2358]

I’m surprised you didn’t use a sealer sprayer to coat your beds instead of rollers or brushes. It’s like the sprayer you use to water your starter plants with. My hubby has one that he can control the spray width to put Thomas wood sealer on our wood porch. Afterwards he washes it out and let’s it dry before storing it away till we need it again. Makes sealing wood a lot faster and gets an even coat on the wood, plus easy clean up. Something to think about next time. You are indeed blessed with parents and in-laws that help you when you need them and it’s awesome you give them lots of credit for helping you! Garden beds look amazing!

[@wanjones7141]

For the future, my suggestion would be to put the sealer in a paint sprayer, since it is so thin. That would have made your job so much easier and faster. You can rent them from Lowes or Home Depot . Or buy one, they are not expensive. And girl, you need to ALWAYS wear a hat outside when you are gardening, even on a cloudy day.

Two things my grandma always did if she was making starts for her garden, pumpkin seed she soaked overnight in rain water. And my favorite part was ripping both sides off corrugated cardboard to make transplanting plants that didn't do well being transplanted... pumpkins.. She kept her pots when she bought starts and would use the cardboard ( the grand kids contribution) to line the soil block/pot so that once she put in ground the cardboard would compost. The one time she didn't do this step due to listing to I've of her son's 😂 she had no pumpkins....

Becky, I really appreciate the effort you are putting in to get your garden going. My husband and I, who are not quite as young and you and Josh, are trying to get a garden going with some raised beds and it has been a real job. Not nearly as easy as it may seem. I know it will be beautiful when it's all finished, but I can tell that mine is like a tenth the size of yours, so I can only imagine the work that is being done to get yours going. It will pay off when it's all done. We will get some fabulous videos from you and learn a thing or three or four along the way. Thanks for another great video and I will see you next time. Have a fabulous day!

I’m so grateful for your channel Becky AND it’s cool you’re local!❤ I love seeing a healthy father daughter relationship. Your parents so so cool!

I'm doing it the other way: now my mom gets older, I help her a lot in her garden. We both love gardening, so it's an amazing way to spend time together and help her with all the heavy stuff she can't do anymore. This afternoon, I've pruned her conifers, and next week I'll help her weeding. It's my way off saying thank you for all the things she does for me when I'm ill and admitted to the hospital. And that happens quite a lot. I love her so much, and I am so grateful for her. ❤

It makes me smile to see you and your dad working together.

Thank You Becky’s Dad for helping and doing a great job 👏 hope you both enjoyed lunch 🥰🥰

That's the same brand that gardener supply uses on the veg's trugs. We have had one for 8 years and with moving last year decided to reseal the bed since we have to empty it anyway. Made the bed look like new and we anticipate getting at least another 3-4 years from it all because of the sealant. Good luck!

I love watching you and your dad work together. You are a close family and thats wonderful for you and your little guy. Thank you for sharing this now I will be sealing my beds

[@danielledrake9000]

my favorite version of the lemonade is with blueberries. It also is good with raspberries. Great progress on the raised beds

[@lauriecarter7256]

U have an awesome dad, u r a really lucky young woman! My father pasted away when I was only 17. He loved his gardening and so I missed out on all his expertise.

Hi Laurie

[@jacquelinewagner7160]

I love when your parents are with you in your videos. I see where you get your beautiful personality. You give me motivation to keep building my garden.

[@tracyreaume6451]

I would totally leave the landscape fabric down over the winter, I don’t understand what you would take it up? Love this video, you are very fortunate to have your parents help so much! 😊

[@jantellfowler5883]

I'm making jams for a Farmers Market while watching this video today. Your garden looks beautiful Becky , glad you have help with this huge project 🖤🖤🙏🏽🇧🇸

[@cdavid2486]

[@debinattier5906]

Yes, could you please put the directions for the strawberry/lemonade. Your garden is going to be amazing! Can’t wait to see it growing and bearing vegetables.

Becky that landscape fabric will easily last 6 or 8 years if its not exposed to direct sunlight. Never had issues with cutting unless using a dull box cutter. One clip then shears or kitchen scissors. So great you found that sealer. We were told to seal on year 2 with cedar or teak. It breaths first year and dries a bit. Beautiful weather there. Everything going in ground this weekend.

[@tonyaloftis6973]

I love watching yall work together! Just curious how come yall didn't seal it before putting the soil in?

[@slaviles]

Im so impressed how far you have come on the new place! and a new baby too! you go girl!

[@savannahroseblack]

Hey Becky just curious if you are going to put steps going from your lawn into your garden so you don’t have to go all the way around every time ?
