From a professional pepper grower: harvest your 1st pepper on a plant before it is full size as this encourages the plant to produce more flowers thus more peppers. And you can plant them fairly close as peppers like to touch.

[@mtblondie0036]

Yes... This is so true Becky it works!!

[@PirouettingFox]

This is extremely helpful, thank you! Is it better to let peppers stay on the plant to ripen or pick them green & let them ripen off the plant?

[@thelefthandedcrossstitcher]

@@PirouettingFoxI let mine fully ripen on the plant. I’ve not noticed mine to ripen after the fact. They get soft if left on the counter for several days.

[@MissBetsyLu]

​@@thelefthandedcrossstitcher once peppers start ripening it will finish ripening indoors. Grand Blessings everyone everywhere

[@GoogleTrendingTopics]

I have so much trouble with peppers!!! Last season and this season have been really awful for me. My plants never get over like 8 or 9 inches tall and if they produce any fruit at all, it's basically just one pepper. ): I don't know what's happening because I used to grow really good peppers but it seems like since the pandemic there's been a shift. Maybe I'm paranoid??? Like why would it affect JUST pepper plants??? LMAO I don't know.

[@ellesbutzelaar3663]

The disease on your pear tree is pear rust. It comes from the juniper berry plants in your garden or surroundings ( sometimes up to 100 meters away). Best way to get rid of it is to get rid of the juniper berry plants and than take of the effected leaves on your pear tree. Do NOT compost the leaves but throw them away. In the winter completely get rid of all the leaves, again throw them away. It should get better next year then.

[@shanewilliams4603]

Alternatively(if you want to keep the juniper berry plants/trees), you can't spray the pear trees with fungicide to kill thje pear rust because the approved fungicide isn't safe to eat. But you could spray the juniper plants (assuming you don't use juniper berries or avoid using until following year) o prevent the spores from getting in and/or over-wintering there. Also, the scab on your pears is likely Pear Scab. If they grow big enough, you may still eat the pears, just peel them 1st. It's recommended planting resistant varieties OR applying 2-5 treatments of fungicide. I suppose if it doesn't look like you'll get pears that can be eaten that you could spray the trees for both types of fungus. Since you won't be eating from them this year anyway. Just wait till you harvest the fruit from the other trees 1st.

I HIGHLY suggest fertilizing weekly. You have densely planted heavy feeding plants that will deplete that soil quickly. Once things start to fruit, they need some extra help. Garden is beautiful 😍

[@sowingback]

A lot of food pantries love fresh fruits so if you have extra, I'm sure you can find a place to donate. My son volunteers once a month and fresh food is always lacking and wanted. The garden is looking fantastic.

[@amandacallow1095]

You have pear rust, which can transfer to any nearby juniper trees. You will want to read up on it, and prune like crazy, like you mentioned.

Becky, please don't put plastic on your eucalyptus in the cold. I live in FL and the first year we covered our plants with plastic everything died. The plants covered with old sheets or tablecloths lived. Our neighbor was a Wise older woman and said I could have told you it was all going to die, you can't use plastic. I wanted to ask her why she didn't say something before we lost so many plants but I didn't I just learned the lesson.😊

[@cbass2755]

Suffocate the plants? I put tarp down on my walk way by my garage and it kills Al those weeds growing up thru the stones. No sunlight, water or air.

[@aloras405]

your zones are different. If I want to grow through the winter, I have to do it under plastic like a small high tunnel. It also depends on how you use it.

[@thegraymarlin]

If the plastic doesn’t touch the plants it’s sometimes okay (but still not ideal and why risk it?). But covering plants with plastic touching will kill them even if it doesn’t get below freezing.

[@susanwilliams1881]

Love your videos and recipes

[@janecwebster6867]

I use garden fleece which protects plants from frost damage down to -6°C. Great for not so harsh winter zones.

The other day I was watching and thinking, "OMG! Her garden is absolutely gorgeous and thriving!" I think sometimes because you're there everyday, you don't see it the way your viewers do... you're doing a fantastic job, Becky! That is all new soil, keep that in mind, it takes time (YEARS!) to grow a living soil, so for a new, first year garden this is looking fantastic!

[@chantillyvintage]

I use my celery greens more than the celery itself. I prefer the stronger flavor when cooking. I harvest the greens, wash, chop & freeze them. They’re great in soups & stews, etc. and no dicing up celery. It’s wonderful. Your garden looks great. ❤

[@Sharon-Me]

I started doing this last year, you are right, so much flavor in something that I used to throw away!

[@lotteisern9712]

If you love celery flavor, you should grow some Lovage. So flavorful. Great fresh in salads and I also dry some to use in soups.

[@anitalewis1290]

I use the leafy part of celery also. @acrehomestead try cutting the leaves off ur celery and freeze dry them. I use that in cooking of making a veggie dip. I went to buy a small bottled of dried celery flakes. It was 13$!!!!!

[@blackbirdfly0128]

Nasturtium seeds are SO EASY to save, so I highly recommend it. To know if they're ready, pick them as you would raspberries- if you have to tug on them at all, they're not ready. Then just let them dry inside the house COMPLETELY. They'll look like little brains, and they are one of the few flower seeds I've encountered that doesn't have any kind of seed pod so there's absolutely no mess to deal with. Definitely worth the few minutes of harvesting to save money on the seeds, especially if you're just trying to get a flower out of it and are less particular about the variety.

[@janiehutchinson2509]

Hi Becky! You can also use a small paintbrush to pollinate your zucchini’s. It works so you don’t have to sacrifice a good plant. 😀

[@MrsBrit1]

If your like to safely get rid of those ant, use corn meal! Sprinkle it around liberally, especially on the anthill directly if you know where it is. It will take some time, but they'll carry the meal down to eat, but they can't digest it and it will wipe them out . I've used cornmeal a couple times and it works!

I put in raised beds this year, and to quote Becky, “It was a game changer!” Married to a farmer, I had to wait for all the crops to go in before he tilled the garden and I could plant. Mostly early July😢. I had leaf compost delivered to fill the beds, and they are thriving! Unfortunately, I am battling groundhogs who think it’s a salad bar. I’ve had to put poultry netting everywhere! Fingers crossed I can get a good harvest and can up some goodies!

[@kimberlygaskin604]

Those spots are called pear rust which is a fungus. You are correct, you need to prune out the affected material and burn it so the spores don't spread.

[@dixiecook9378]

Corn is a heavy feeder. Yours looks great. I would fertilize every other week. At the base of the stalks so you will get ears of corn. Wind shakes the tassels and pollinate them. If you don't get wind shake the stalks when they start tasseling. Trim your zucchini plants to allow air and it will increase your yield. I was always skeptical. Now every year I cut back some of the long leaf stalks. I get tons of it. It also makes it easier for pollinators to get to the female flowers.

[@iartistdotme]

Remember you can't fertilize with fish emulsion enough and should repeat a dose every week. It even helps the foliage! Your garden is looking amazing - so happy for you.

[@parentingdecolonized]

Lol I just commented this very thing. Great minds!

[@lizatrue7543]

It's high in nitrogen which helps the greens on the plants, but it's low in phosphorus which is what's needed for blossoms to set fruit. Better at this stage to use something more balanced, imo.

Gorgeous plantings!!! Leave your jalapenos on the vine until they get stripes....they will be hotter when you pick them! It's pear rust it doesn't hurt the fruit but you need to get rid of bad leaves/branches it will get worse and canker the bark and eventually kill the tree.

Every year when I get inundated with more zucchini than I can eat, I shred them up and freeze them in 2-cup portions, for use year-round for zucchini bread! When you defrost them, the water will separate from the shreds -- but that's OK! Just dump it all into your mix (water and all!). I've sometimes had bags of shredded zucchini in my freezer for up to 2 years, and it has still made delicious zucchini bread!

[@setapart6937]

Your garden looks amazing! I would try sprinkling food grade diatomaceous earth around the base of your plants that are being infested by ants. DE is all natural and is an excellent non-toxic ant killer. If it rains you’ll need to reapply but it’ll be worth it if it can get your ant problem under control. Also, DE is good to have around because it also works on aphids, beetles, slugs, earwigs, cockroaches, bed bugs and fleas.

[@delphine88313]

And remember there two types of D.E also.just read the back of the package

[@n.m.3981]

Yes, need food grade diatomaceous earth

[@OrganicMommaGA]

It is also good to remember to make sure you're not putting DE in or on the flowers - let's protect the pollinators that come to the garden. 😊 We wait until late afternoon, when most of the bees have left our garden to apply DE or Neem oil solution (with a little bit of soap in the water). I haven't noticed if Neem works with ants, but the DE certainly does - it just takes diligence and a few applications and they're gone.

[@fairytale_after_dark6696]

[@ruthrogers8011]

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I am also Type II. I hope you won't mind a bit of advice from someone who has been dealing with it for a few years. Of course, your doctors are the best source of information on your particular situation, but I found it helpful to talk with others who are also diabetic too. Carbs are the most important thing to keep track of. Also, you will find it helpful to learn about foods containing higher amounts of natural sugars. You can have them, but just be aware. The natural sugars are problematic because they're in foods you might not think about containing a lot of sugar. Grapes, for instance, and apples. White and brown sugar are different because the foods that contain them have nutrition information on the packaging, so it is easier to check. Good luck! It is amazing how much you will learn in a short time, but totally worth it, and I wish you the best.

@ruthrogers8011 Thank you so much,I'm always open to advice. My dr only told me to keep a food diary not why I mean nothing not even to check my blood sugar. So I went to a new Dr and she's better. A person's never been through a thing before so it's hard to know what to ask. I've lost 65 lbs and feel better than I had in 5yrs. Have a great day again thank you.

Awesome garden tour!!! So happy you’re seeing the fruit of your labor Becky. You garden is lovely at every turn! I always like the peek in on your chickens and I look forward to all the creative harvesting ideas you come up with in this new season. ❤

I see apple pie and blueberry pie in your near future. You can make and can up some pie fillings for the winter.

I was so bored I'm glad you're video came up and love your garden.

I live in NYC and know nothing about gardening, but I really love these big garden tour videos!

[@melissaveldt8198]

Becky I just want to say thank you for your videos. I have made your brown butter chocolate chip cookies and the brown butter Rice Krispies and my husband loves them so much I’m making at least one of them every week and my niece has also started making them this way also for her family. Like you said they need to come with a warning label lol. Thank you again for sharing everything you do. Have a wonderful week and I will be tuning in on Thursday I always am like oh yeah it’s Becky day. Lol

Random thought - but after you move your strawberry plants to the main garden area (or off the kitchen - whatever you decide) and dismantle the original garden area it would be an AWESOME location for an aquascape swimming pond. By the time you would be ready to do it, your subscriber count would be even higher and based on what they are doing with their current Garden Answer collab, the labor is free (they get advertising on all their social media platforms) so it's just a matter of deciding on your planting material/landscape preferences would be. I hope you will consider it as your home/land is sooo gorgeous and as much as you love being in the water, it would be a great way to incorporate water onto the property in a more organic/pleasing to the eye way.

you should do a mix of plain, wave and galaxy petunias...I've seen that mix before and it is just gorgeous! But still so beautiful.

Plum jelly is INCREDIBLE. 10/10, I highly recommend it. It's perfect for toast and buttermilk biscuits.

Fantastic garden, Becky. I am so glad you are having luck with your garden. You worked so hard for it.

Those orange spots on your pear tree leaves are what's called rust spots. Caused by the fungus gymnosporangium Sabinae. The spores will travel thru the air and winter on juniper trees or shrubs near by where they will spend the winter.

Beautiful, such a blessing growing your own fruits and vegetables. I love seeing how you take the time to plant, harvest and store your own. I love gardening myself, so inspiring and rewarding; its a stress relieving activity for me; celebrating the chance to commune with God through nature. God Bless...I Corinthians 3:6

My mom used to hand pollinate our fruit trees with Q Tips. It was one of the neighborhood's favorite sporting events.
