I just wanted to say, as a kid I had a learning disability which I've discovered doesn't ever leave even as an adult. It's a matter of adjusting and thinking outside of the box . You've mentioned your same plight growing up with a learning disability. What you've done to overcome your challenges is so cool to watch. Your success is inspiring for people like me.

[@AcreHomestead]

Aw thanks so much!

[@elisaserrano2497]

I do applaud you. I'm in my 40's struggling with anxiety depression and life adjustments. Watching you encourages me to take care of myself along with my family. To save money and just to keep moving forward. You're awesome

I must have missed that😮 that’s amazing. What was it ? I’m so glad for you too. My oldest struggled as well. But at 47 he’s so smart is so many different things. Math was not his strong point for sure. Had to learn a whole different way which is okay.

I would put a hold on that floor until you get your green house... it's quite functional until you know what that room will be next.

I was thinking the same thing! Right now, it's easy to clean from spilled soil and no damage or discoloration from hose water.

[@joycehartman996]

You could always paint your floor then add an outdoor rug.

[@terrimccullough724]

That was my thought too and then they can decide at another time what they want to do

Excellent idea, then take the rug outside and shake it. You can hose them off and even scrub if you are so inclined.

Funny thing about that Happy Frog potting soil--I purchased several bags of it year before last. About half way through one of the bags, I discovered a small squirming mass.

You are so good at not wasting time, I love that you start something that needs to be done, have it “sit” while you begin another project! I do have one suggestion, when I was teaching my grandchildren in my kitchen, baking and cooking, I always stressed to Not plug-in my mixer until I had the beaters in. I have heard too many times people getting hurt by the beaters as they put them in. It’s just to easy to bump the on button and that is dangerous. I just don’t want you to get hurt. ❤

[@AGREENERLIFE]

I just want to share something with you. Instead of using the clear bin for your soil soil blocking, you should really look into getting a small cement mixing plastic tub at Home Depot. The sides are low and the bottom is flat and it is so much easier to make soil blocks with. I totally enjoy using it!! ❤

Becky, I I'm so grateful that you were sponsored by greenstalk. I have watched you over the last couple of years with your greenstalks and wanted one. I took advantage of your offer of a discount and ordered my first greenstalk. It came yesterday and I am so excited. I can't wait for planting season. I live in Southern Ohio and have to wait another month before I can plant outside. I ordered the inventor's bundle, which came with 3 tiers of the ten inch and 3 tiers of the leaf planters. It's so wonderful to have this waiting for me. It's unbelievable how much you can accomplish in your show. I just wish I had the energy to keep up with you. You mentioned an interest in making some fig Newton like cookies. I have a recipe that was my grandmother's she made every year at Christmas time. She Immigrated from Sicily as a young girl and met my grandfather on the boat that she came over to America on. It is much like a fig Newton.But instead of a cakey like texture on the outside it has more of a cookie like texture.I love them and try to make them every year. If you would like the recipe, I would be happy to share.

There are such sweet people in this community. The soil blocks are beautiful. They look like brownies. I'm glad everything is germinating well. I decided to direct sow only this year. Risky, I know. Then, sadly, we just had a late frost here in Alabama. Everything seemed to fair okay except for one variety of tomato seedlings. We will see what happens over the next few days. Oh, well. P s I vote for turning the seed room back into a laundry room/utility room. It will open up the other room for a bedroom. After the greenhouse comes, that is. And it is coming. It's coming for me, too.Which is when I will probably start seeds indoors.

[@aileenbell6750]

Yeah, hot water hydrates faster, so it makes sense that it works better when you let the soil sit awhile. I just wanted to say how lovely the grow room looks, even without your forever floor. It makes a nice backdrop for your seed videos, and I am sure it is nicer to work in. 🥰 I can’t wait to see your beautiful garden come together this year. ❤

[@lindalagarce8996]

I’m not sure the time frame between going from garden to kitchen, but one thing you want to be aware of is your kitchen items and food bringing fungi and contamination to your plants through your apron and clothes. The only reason I know this is because years ago I worked at a gardening plant starter company that grew starts from votings from other plants and we had to be very careful not to bring cheese and other items into the greenhouse germination area. You may want to change your apron or have one just for gardening, just a suggestion. Hugs from Texas!

My Mom was a good hobby flower girl. One of the beds was a mix of black eyed Susan's, purple/pink cone flower and Shasta daisy's. Not to much of the white Shasta, your just wanting to breakup the color field, the white gives your eyes a place to "rest". It brightens and adds vibrancy to the color in the bed. It was a show stopper every year with lots of people stopping bye. Batchelor buttons and asters are some of my favorites every year, but they are annuals and need to be reseeded each year. When working 12-15 hour days in the garden is not enough. When they finally connected several large sections of the rails to trails we were out at 1 of the trail head parking lots planting just a few Batchelor button seeds under cover of darkness. When they came up they were so beautiful and was featured in the paper. Some ladies groups had garden tours for their groups fundraiser. You should go if you can find any near you. You can learn allot from these other gardeners and so inspiring.

Becky, in so excited about the green stocks. I just had my 40th birthday and asked for one. Out of surprised, I was gifted two of the basket weaved ones. I can’t wait for them to arrive. Because of you I have become more in all of gardening, preserving, and trying new recipes. As a kid we did a lot of canning and it is bringing back so many good memories. Since I started watching your show, I have now invested in a freeze dryer, digital canner, and now two green stocks. I have also improved my gardening area by putting in a few raised beds. I cannot wait to see what this year brings. I’m a little scared though this is the first year I have started my own seedlings. Pray that they turn out well, I am taking your advice and I bought the Vermont compost you use in hopes I will get the same results.

[@angeh9995]

I’m adding my encouragement for you to use paving paint (with added grit to prevent slipping) on the floor in your grow room. We have recently used it on semi-enclosed concrete area about the size of single garage after 20+ years of it just being concrete. The difference is amazing! I’d say it would suit the current use of this room involving lots of dirt and water, and if you change its use in the future you can still lay flooring on top of it. I’m in Australia so I’m not sure if you call it paving paint in the US. It’s a specific product for concrete and similar surfaces, usually outdoors or in a room similar to yours. It’s already non-slip and adding the special grit makes it more so. A bonus is none of the dust that comes up off the concrete.

[@nanasblessings]

Good morning, Becky. Such a lovely video. My comment is speaking to cold stratifying your seeds. If you watch the Garden Answer channel, Laura has done something called winter sowing for the past couple of years. Very simple, sowing seeds in recycled milk/water jugs and leaving them outside and unattended for the winter months. She's had varied results but for the effort expended worth the time. Good luck on your planting.

[@maltasweet1396]

I heard you say that some viewers did not like the idea of pouring boiling water on the compost. I had never heard about this and have decided to try it out. But it had felt a bit funny to pour hot water on potting soil mixed with earthworm castings. This morning as I was ready to prep more potting medium for my seeds, it dawned on me that a seed in itself has enough power stored within it to germinate till it's first true leaves. This meant that I could just sow seeds in sterilized potting soil, and feed them with mild organic fertilizer. Once seeds grow and I need to repot them, then I will use earthworm castings and not sterilize, because at that point, many of them can be potted or hardened outdoors. I don't have a grow room, I just have a large area in the kitchen that becomes a seed growing area in the spring. I cannot afford black flies going everywhere in my house. So sterilizing regular potting soil indoors is a must. Thank you for your post and sharing

[@julialucas1482]

I am happy to see a sponsorship on your video. Congratulations Becky. I think finding alternative gardening solutions is so important.

“Strawberries are not going to work” 😂 made my day!! I love how you take everyone’s suggestions with ease! You are all about learning and bettering yourself and bringing it to us! Thanks for being you!

Everything looks AMAZING Becky! I am so excited about the new Greenstalks too. I'm getting one for my mom for Mother's Day this year and this is an awesome sale

If you have marinated artichokes, sun-dried tomates, so yummy on a pizza, even love roasted eggplant, zuccini, onions and peppers. Yum! 😊❤
