For your new garden, if you break it up into zones in some way, and assign each zone a day of the week. Then weed that zone on that day. (So once a week each zone gets weeded.) The weeds won’t have a chance to get out of control. And by doing it in zones, it won’t be so overwhelming. Just do that zone on that day and don’t worry about the rest of the garden that day as it will get its turn another day. It also won’t take as long as trying to do the whole garden in one day.

You two are both amazing. I love seeing how smart you both are in how you manage your lives. It’s really so rare to see a couple who are so much on the same page in terms of goals, work ethic, stewardship of resources, and an abundance of creative talent. Your new home is beautiful…and all the improvements are so well done. I’ve done home renovations for years and I know how difficult trim work is…it takes so much skill. At first I was wondering why you were going to spend the time when you have so much going on to replace all the trim but I have to say…Josh’s design and precision skill on the trim…particularly with those tall headers is breathtaking. When I saw the sun room completed it reminded me of something from a historical home or an architectural magazine. I cannot wait to see it all done. Becky…you are a total inspiration. You have inspired me to get back in the kitchen and cook every meal. As a result, I’ve saved money (even with inflation), the food has been so much tastier, and I feel better because I’m controlling the ingredients. You’ll have years of content with all your new home projects, but I really see you moving from this into a bigger platform…a Martha Stewart or a Barefoot Contessa…and definitely writing a series of cookbooks. Those of us who found you early on will be able to say…I watched her when she first started!

[@eddieflowers7939]

It is apparent that you and Josh speak wonderful words concerning each other’s strengths, so please don’t think that what I’m about to say is speaking contrary to Josh’s strength and sacrifice, but I also recognize that you both exert dedicated strength in to making your house a home! You both bring out the best in each other though I’m sure that there are times even that maybe challenged! Continue to always think the best of each other; it’s a wonderful blessing to be reminded of such precious things that we can do to lift each other up! Even the mess-ups with what you think is not a good thing is still a blessing - like overdone cookies (though I would have definitely enjoyed them), plus your dinner and breakfast which was not an issue! I enjoyed the fact that you keep working, on and on so that you work together for you both! No “Princess” laziness in this home. Gale Flowers 🌸

I put my basil in the freezer instead of dehydrating it. It's perfect to pull out and make pesto with. No need to defrost it, just throw it in whatever you are cooking. Same with my Cilantro and parsley - the herbs that lose a lot of their flavour when dried. I'm experimenting with doing the same with St Johns Wort this year as it loses a lot of potency when dried. Thanks for the energy to plant out today, I had a new area tilled and prepped but needed the push to go do it!

Becky I just wanted to comment that your huge calendula patch couldn’t come at a better time for you. If you pick and dry the flower heads, you can put them in a jar and cover with olive or avocado oil and let it infuse. You can use that to make the best simple baby bottom balm with a little beeswax. You can even just use the infused oil for skin soothing as it’s so gentle and wonderful! ❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@papasfritas6071]

Agreed, calendula is one of the flowers used to heal skin from the 'new' and upcoming m0nkey pox plan-demic. The Virgin Mary has been warning us of the new diseases the elites have released into the air. Use St. Michael oil or healing plants like Calendula to cure diseases in the skin. After this, a new disease in the eyes will happen, use St. Joseph oil for the eyes and any other disease. The Virgin Mary says both diseases will be worse than covid.

Ohhh I have never tried this! I guess I am going to have to grow some calendula next year too 😊😊

Your dinner reminds me so much of those I made when I had my garden many years ago. I'd pick whatever what was ready when I got home from work (lima beans, tomatoes, summer squash, green beans, beet greens - whatever was ripe that day, and it changed every day), wash it all up, and then saute it in butter to serve over rice or pasta of some sort, or a baked potato if it was the weekend and I had time to bake one. Some days I'd add meat of some sort, some days it was just vegetables. Delicious dinner out of the freshest produce I'd ever had! I miss that garden!

Calcium for tomatoes: you might try adding watery milk, 1 part milk to 4 parts water. In this form it's already dissolved and readily available to plants. This year, I took some cal/mag vitamin tablets & powdered them in my Magic Bullet blender and mixed that in with compost that I put in each transplant hole. I also powdered some old multivitamins & mixed that in as well. It's been working really well.

When you make your own cream cheese you can also use the leftover whey in your garden.

In August I'm going to try planting my carrot seeds like Mallorie from Quebec Homestead did, as it's supposed to reduce the need for thinning. You mix the seeds with cornstarch and water to make a slurry, place in a Ziplock baggie, cut the corner off and squeeze out a ribbon into your trenches. Depending on how this works out, I will either do it again or try the pelleted seeds! Dinner looks amazing! 😍

[@almaremarais2494]

I was taught to mix small seeds with a bit of cornstarch and the sow. The white of the cornstarch will show where the seeds was sow, so you can see if the seeds are to few per trench.

Becky, when you get disheartened by the weeds, keep in mind that 1) many of them are edible and even taste good & 2) most are medicinal. Dandelions alone are valuable enough that I refuse to pull them when they show up in my garden. They're highly nutritious and chock full of antioxidants. I eat the greens, make jam from the flowers, and the roots are good for gut health, as a diuretic, fights inflammation, and aids in blood sugar management. Get a good field guide and identify those weeds. You may find that a surprising number of them are actually useful.

[@guyonmybike]

Yess!! I use the flowers for tea and I feed the greens to my bearded dragon. I had no idea how big dandelion plants grew until I had one this year that got to 2ft wide in my garden.

I love getting an abundance of basil from the garden! Hot tip for picking it strategically to maximize growth: Pick it above where two new shoots are coming out (in the "sucker" zone). That way, every time you pick, you are essentially making that stem grow into two new stems. It leads to bushy bushy basil with LOTS of growth. Off two plants, I can now pick a one-gallon Ziploc bag full twice a week. Happy growing!

[@ajacob509]

You should plant in pots to take to the new house. You should dig out alot of your plants and take to the new house.

[@Tzippy323]

Becky - here is a tip. I grow tons of basil and dill from seeds I get at dollar tree. When your basil is ready to start harvesting, cut off gone nicer piece with stem, and stick it in the ground. It will take off and give you another plant with a head start. I double the number of plants I have that way. I always blanch my basil before dehydrating it. That way the color is preserved and it looks so pretty.

Try planting carrots without a trench. Scatter seeds in rows. Cover lightly with potting soil or seed-starting mix. Water in well. Cover with some board(s). Check every day for germination. Remove boards as soon as seeds germinate. Start watering well as soon as you remove boards. Then the drip alone should work. I normally get close to 100% germination and healthier seedlings.

20:19 Great idea using the floor plug outlet! We had those put in in our living room and it we are so glad that we did! -Cara

YAY!!!! you said caulk right!!!!! I love your videos and watching the progress of your new house and gardens. I found it funny that Josh commented too 😀. I am looking forward to seeing the paint on the walls,. I am also looking to paint my walls and liked your selections. You did the hard work for me of selecting various colors and testing them on your walls.

[@AdventuresWithJackson]

if there is mold visible between the tiles on the shower wall, it might be a good idea to maybe check behind there to make sure it does not go all the way up the wall behind there and if not then treat it before you caulk it.

Her Dad has a vlog?

[@ShanYalesTale]

@@pjk1714 yes. It's a Christian teaching channel called Be With Jesus 365. I really enjoy his teaching. She shared it on her IG about a month or so ago.

Hey Becky, You may be having issues with carrot germination due to the depth you are planting them. I am surely not a master gardener, but I have always been told to sow carrot seeds on the top of the soil and just sprinkle a dusting of light soil on top and water in well. If you are in a windy area or hot area, where the seed may not stay moist through the day, you can put a wood board on top of them and that will keep them touching the soil and moist enough until your next watering. The carrots with germinate without light and then you take the board off once you see germination. Hope this helps! :)

[@JennyLouWho325]

Perfect timing! I just harvested one raised bed of potatoes and you've inspired me to replant with carrots.

[@OurPotterosa]

Great choice with Accessible Beige! We repainted our entire house, excluding our 1/2 bath, using this color last year and I LOVE it!

I love seeing your garden. You have worked so hard. Do you think you will give updates on your pregnancy? I hope so I'm so excited for you and Josh.

[@susanm8957]

I think the beige paint will be beautiful. I think grey has had its day & is on its way out in a way, so good choice! Can't wait to see that wall come down!😊

Inspirational!! With the new seeding, will you be able to harvest with your move?

Josh is such a master craftsman, and the two of you work so well together. Your new house is going to be amazing!

How is the garden doing at the new house? This one looks awesome. So much blessings in the ground. Cant wait for big harvest. Love the tour. 💜. Question, when you make your garlic infused olive oil, do you keep it in the fridge or cabinet?

[@AcreHomestead]

No progress yet on the new house garden. We will start working on it this fall!

[@kristinstetler6857]

Your excitement in the garden is contagious! You are so fun to watch! Thanks for sharing your homestead with us. One of my favorite childhood memories was gardening with my great grandpa and getting dirt all over my dresses.

Hello Kristin how are you doing. It’s nice to meet you here on KZbin

[@spontaneousun]

Good morning! I’m surprised to see you out planting at the old house instead of planting in some of the old beds at the new house. Will you stay long enough to harvest these or are they good gardening will (like your strawberries at the new house) to the next homeowner? I know you said you’d keep the old house through gardening season but that can mean a lot of things and I think in your last video you mentioned moving up to the new house in 2 weeks! Just curious I love seeing the process!

[@ssamuel408]

Yep. Very good question. I am very confused.

[@brandybellmann7513]

Yes the garden is exploding I'm excited to follow the harvest. Josh is doing an amazing job. You two of you are a great team Becky.💚

Hey friend! This was a nice farm to table recipe! I cant wait to create it! Love to see the happiness this garden provides for you. The flowers are such a nice touch!🌺 So nice to see updates at the house. Josh has worked hard on all that trim and it looks lovely. You are a great couple❤️ Ty for sharing your journey with us. Those cookies 🍪look scrumptious 😋!

[@destinygibson8115]

Watching your videos reminds me so much of the cooking shows I watched as a kid and I love it. And you seem like the sweetest person ever!

[@nahtashagreenhill2072]

Great news about the website. If it isn't already part of the plan, could you please add the ability to add servings to the recipes so that the measurements adjust automatically. That is super helpful when you have a large family or want to double or triple a recipe. Love your enthusiasm and joy in the garden. Thanks!

[@Happy2Run4Me]

This was a good one! From garden to kitchen, we got a harvest, a recipe, some updates on the house. So much content! Nice! ☺️ I hope my zucchini and cucumbers start producing soon. Mine might be more of a Fall Harvest lol. I love that you planted also (I also just planted carrots and kale for my Fall garden). I think my hardiness zone is the same as yours even though I’m in the South (8b). Small world! 😁☺️

[@wendyr435]

That zucchini dish looks amazing! One additonal thing you can harvest is the Calendula flowers! Make salves or tinctures with them. I tried to get them growing in my garden this year but only a few made it, wahhhh. My garden is finally doing well, in my zone 8b in Southern Arizona I've learned (this year) to wait until the monsoon rains come before planting anything. I have a few more months of good growing weather and it just works out so much better than struggling with heat stressed plants. Anyway, I can't wait to see that wall taken down, it's so exciting! Happy day to you and Josh! Oh and one last thing, please wait until the ground cherries are a honey yellow before eating them. They can be toxic to eat when they aren't ripe! Just because they drop doesn't mean they are ripe. The covering will be dried up and papery when they're ripe. I make lemon, ground cherry and prickly pear jelly with mine and it's amazing! Ground cherry and chamomile jelly is also delicious!

I love how you pause and really think about the blessings around you. You make choices to see the blessings even when overwhelmed. My attitude improved today after watching you be blessed and grateful. Lovely woman!

[@teniaosayande6355]

You guys are just knocking out the projects at the new home. I can only imagine how wonderful it will be when complete. What a wonderful experience to start your new family in your new home. Side note: Becky you've really got me ready to stop being a scary cat & take on this TX heat to try my hand at gardening again. Continued blessings to you!
