Start saving milk jugs and cut the bottom out. When you plant your tomatoes next year, put a milk jug over each of your tomato plants and let them stay until you are sure the cold snap is over. The tomatoes love the warmth in the jugs and any frost will not damage the plants inside. When the tops of the plants grow out the top of the jug, it's probably time to take them off if you are sure the cold is over. We have had to rush out before dark many times in Central Alabama to cover our tomatoes when we are expecting a cold snap with frost.

Hi Becky, I know this is an older video, but I just want to let you know that i am soooo inspired by you and your garden - so much that I am creating my own beds like yours on my newly bought farm! My goal is to grow food for me and my boyfriend, kind of self-substainable and I also want a booth down by the road to sell my flowers, fruits and veggies! (very common summer thing to do in Denmark) My farm has 50 fruit-trees (plums, apples and pears), and I am learning so much from you and how you garden. I am so impressed by your knowledge about gardening and I strive to be like you with my garden, :)

I have a little story for you. I have several Jack-O-Lantern pumpkins growing out in my garden, however, originally I never planted them. I had 1 random pumpkin come up in my flower bed the first year I was in this house 5 years ago. I saved the seed from it and now the seed that I have every year is all from that original 1 pumpkin that I never planted and did not even have seed for. So these pumpkins likely came from a bird. You can pack and can pumpkin puree from Jack-O-Lanterns as well and it's just as good as any other.

In Spain we grow luffas and we get a looooot of heat in the summer, like 40°C I think it's 110F, so maybe they need lots of heat. Epic Gardening has a KZbin video about luffas, maybe it can help!

For your labels, wash and save your dairy containers. Create a template 3/8"-"-3/4"across, 3"-6" long, with a point on one end which is f,at across the other. Use a Sharpie type perma-mar,er to trace your template around the outside of your dairy container and expendable or garage scissors to cut your plant markers out. Optionally, use an expendable hole punch (or a nail setter punch over an expendable piece of wood) to out a hole in the end for suspending on a trellis. Use a Sharpie or Ultra-fine perma marker to write your plant name etc...9n the white side. For a little more cost, contractors flags are pretty quick and easy to use as plant labels. Use the different colors to color code your garden. Use Sharpies to write in tne flags and keep the text to words you're willing to use through years 2 to abiut 5. They make a bright garden u til the foliage grows; and after dele ding upon the height of your folliage.

You've got me re-thinking how to improve my pantry, yep I have one have instilled in my daughters the importance of having one. Like you it got us through the pandemic ( well at least the 1st bit) I haven't grown anything for a couple of years due to my health. We had a home invasion 12/21/2019 by a man with a hand axe, who assaulted us 3adults,one 13yr old and a 2yr old. We fought back and he was shocked that two 60yr olds had any fight at all. As you can imagine it certainly knocked the stuffing out of us but he was caught, we're still waiting to go to court. Since then we've not been productive indoors or in the garden, which he trashed. Yep, we actually know him ( thought we did) he wrecked the garden November 2019. What I'm trying to get to is you've actually achieved some motivation over here in England. My husband has watched bits of your videos and it's given him the impetus to start planning things again. So, from the bottom of my heart I thank you so much Becky for coming I to our lives. All of us involved have/are struggling with day to day stuff in it's entirety, you've bought some light back into it. I can't thank you enough.

The plastic labels are durable and can be re-used next year too. No more forgetting what I planted!

It’s so exiting to watch as you go through your garden as you explain so much and it helps us learn as you are learning your garden too! Do you keep a journal on all your garden information ex like next year I’m going to plant this bed entirely with such n such beans .. I would forget by next year if I didn’t write it down. Ha .

Sometime, check out "sweet beet pie". Tratitionally winter overed beets were shred, cooked, riced, and whipped with the cream; or as a mid-winter fresh from the garden treat. It was also used to use up canned beets in anticipation of the current year's food prep season...I had it once with orange-pickled beets which was thickened up with cornstarch or maybe tapioca; I was a little kid so taste and texture were most important to me, not how but what. - it does taste best with small, fresh spring beets harvested for thier greens; and likely to thin the garden.

Love it! I love everything you share! I wish I could slow down the video because your excitement shows in talking faster. LOL. I love it, I like watching at a bit slower pace.

Thank you. Very impressive. Please pace yourself so that you do not burn out. I have a garden and sometimes things can become very overwhelming.

I have a suggestion. Maybe you could build raised beds next year where your tomato 🍅 trellis is already ... to give that wonderful area better soil. Much much love 💕. Your content is so fun. 😎

For your potatoes - look at what are called "potato stacks". For an experiment, begin with a square tomato cage and line it with a King bed sheet, burlap coffee bean bags (in hindsight, there are reasons to look for organic coffee bean bags), or the sides of card board boxes which just fit inside your square cages. Slough the 3dges of cloth based items down the sides. As the potato tops grow, add your cloth or box based sides in about 12" (or 18") tall increments, then add dirt or growing medium. The buried greenery roots up then grows more potatoes. To harvest, you topple your tower and go from there. - if this suits your fancy, you can drift to locking/ fastened wood frames; diy of course but you amy be able to buy them. Others use repirposed metal items but, they can be burned to kill eggs and larve like the dreaded potatoes battle or potatoes fly. Metal culverting of one type or another is a favorite. Metal can get hot in tne heat; cloth and cardboard can get dry and even wick (or suck'cause it sucks) moisture out of dirt or growing medium.,

Everything looks gorgeous!!! Please show when you harvest your potatoes and carrots. I haven't had good luck and need some encouragement. 😊

I love your zinnias. I didn't think I would like them because I never saw this breed.
