Two Years In the Making | Full July Garden Tour and Harvest

Best comment "I'll have a lot more time (to garden) next year." Lol the optimistic first time mom! !!

[@Just97351]

I guess it is perfect time to say “ Oh my sweet summer child”!!🤣🤣

[@bluebirdhomestead]

I definitely said this last year too during moving and having a baby and I have to say moving is much more time consuming especially if you are renovating haha… babies can garden with you to an extent as long you have a back pack carrier and it’s not too hot. 😀

[@harvestandhome]

Lol so true! I said that last year too 😅😅 gardening with babies is not easy

[@violettefemme21]

Also, considering gardening is part of her full time job in terms of what she if filming, a lot of that time is being spent renovating since that is also being shared on YT and therefore is sort of part of her job so in that sense she will have more time.

Every summer while I was in college I worked at a greenhouse/garden center and when we'd plant flower containers we always followed the same pattern and I bet it would work for vegetables, too. So, in your pots and grow bags, plant something that grows slim and tall in the center and then go around, rotating every other position, planting something bushy and then, something trailing. This will ensure plants aren't fighting for sunlight and everyone gets along. :)

[@racheloram]

Whomever takes on this Garden after Becki and Josh will have such a nice starting point. They've both put so much hard work into it. I'm looking forwards to seeing where the new bigger garden goes!

Use a china grease pencil to mark your garden tags. It lasts for several seasons. Waterproof and sun proof. And if you need to change a tag, some simple green on a rag and rub it and it comes right off.

[@dlsdyer9071]

Exactly that! You won't be able to go much of anywhere without your bundle of joy. Close access to the diaper bag and/or the changing table, along with a possible 50% increase in laundry will keep you busy. Then there's the lack of quality sleep. I'm sure that you will get things sorted out quickly with the help of your Moms and sisters in law.

[@heatherj3030]

Becky, I know this probably isn't the year to do this with everything you have on your plate right now, but you can over winter your peppers by digging them up, cutting them all the way back, and potting them. It gives you a head start for the next year when you stick them back into the ground. It might be something to try in the future, since you love peppers so much. Your garden is lovely! 😊

[@Ms.Byrd68]

It's not the 'tomatoes' and 'peppers', it's the 'peppers' and 'green bean' combo. Green beans prefer neutral soil while peppers prefer slightly acidic soil. Peppers and tomatoes are in the same family so they have similar growth requirements. While Tomatoes & Green beans share some of the same needs, they don't necessarily make good companions; however, you can grow them together (as you've found out).

[@firequeen2194]

[@ICDBoss10]

But tomatoes and potatoes are in the same nightshade family and you can't grow those together... That doesn't make sense

[@tiff2106]

@@ICDBoss10 Tomatoes and Potatoes have DIFFERENT SOIL Ph requirements. The Ph of your SOIL is the key to your success or failure in this regard.

Please don't ever be embarrassed. You don't know how important it is for some of us to see things that are far from perfect and that it's okay, and it's okay to be okay with it, even the stuff that is really bad or has really gotten away from us. I think beating myself up for perceived failures is a big reason I end up getting overwhelmed and lose my ambition and drive to tackle things. I wish we could normalise these things more. Your grace and gratitude for what you do get out of your garden has been a huge inspiration to me. I challenged my black thumb this year because of you. And boy, it's been a harshhhh learning curve. But, today I ate a sandwich with my first fully ripe beefsteak tomato and it was AMAZING. I grew that. Thank you Becky 🌿💚

the idea about your squash on slopes, its worked brilliantly for me. i have for the first time grown pumpkins and butternut squash on the steep slope of my garden that until this year was very difficult to maintain, was full of weeds and the perfect habitat for slugs - i planted the squash in old tyres at the top of the slope on the black plastic (only because I want to kill off the weeds below - problem horsetail and bindweed crazy this year) with drainage holes in the plastic (only where the tyres are), it meant I could fill the tyres with super rich horse manure, which super hungry squash love. The plastic not only suppresses/kills off the weeds below it beautifully and warms the plant, it also keeps the squash fruits clean.

Hi Becky. Those green coriander seeds are AMAZING to use in the kitchen too! Crush them a bit and use them in salsa, curries, salads, white fish dishes, preserve them in brine or ferment them. Delish. They are technically the green fruit that surround the unripe seed so they have a flavour between cilantro and coriander and add an almost lemony zing to dishes. Give them a try.

You definitely need to transplant your flowers! Most, if not all, of your flowers are perennials. There is a lot of money and love in your garden so make sure to take as much as you can. My parents moved to China (for my Dad’s work) for 4 years and before they sold their home they transplanted at least a few of every variety of my Mom’s perennials to our home for a temporary home until they moved back. Now, not only do I have a beautiful floral garden, but my Mom has all her original plantings. Do you have family or friends to come help with your garden this year? You have so much on your plate, plus growing a tiny human. If I were closer, I would volunteer to come weed and help you harvest just for the fun of it. Love the garden tour!

Thank you for sharing with us! I am So Excited for the new houses garden plans. Did you know that Basil makes a Great companion plant for tomatoes? Both do better when grown side by side. Also if you plant canandula on the borders of plants bugs really love- like your brassica - bugs will be repelled. Chickens also Adore canandula flowers and it makes the egg yolks brighter and creamier. When I had my sons I used a linen ring sling and just carried my babies on me so I could garden and get things done. It made life so much easier. Happy gardening!

I always plant basil and tomatoes together. They both seem happy about it.

Labeling Tip: Pencils work well for marking labels. They're erasable and reusable and don't fade in the sun! I'm relatively new to your channel & absolutely loving it so far! You're doing all that I've dreamed of over the years, especially the bulk freezer meals & extensive food storage/preservation. Thank you so much for your inspiration, new ideas & pleasant personality!! 😊💛🌿

Hi Becky, great to see all of the things in the garden coming along nicely. We are coming into spring here so I have started planting and you have given me so much inspiration and confidence to go ahead and try! Thank you x

[@laureldemain7589]

What a delightful garden tour. Thank you so so much. I'm especially enjoying your garden because where I live in Southern CA we are having a terrible drought and are on SEVERE water restriction. Add the daily over 100 degree temps this summer (104 today) and influx of ground squirrels and I don't have my normal garden this year.

[@anitafanshaw8932]

Becky you made me laugh watching you eat the sour blueberrys.. saying how it was sour but you kept popping them in your mouth and your face would pucker.. made my face pucker too!! I love your videos. We can tell you and josh are fine people and we are so happy for you both!

[@TinkyTries]

OMG I CLICKED SO FAST. I have been so excited since you planted these seeds. I have been going grieving these past two weeks and watching you garden is so therapeutic.

If you've never had pear pickle, you should try it! Oh my goodness! Probably my favorite kind of sweet pickle is pear. I spoon it over my green beans, cabbage, and crowder peas. Yum! I also love pear preserves. I canned pear halves a couple years ago to make pear salad (a southern thang) which is made by putting a dollop of mayo on the pear and adding grated shsrp cheddar on top. Love it!

[@dianetucker2711]

LOVE Pear salad❣️Haven’t heard of pear pickles but sounds delicious!🤗

[@sherithompson2469]

You can use the leaves and flowers of the Echinacea plant! You can also take the plant with you! When I harvest the root, I dig around the ball and take half. Then I put the dirt back really good and it always does well.

[@sierrad5783]

I love your videos. I've always thought about gardening but I feel like I kill everything inside. After watching a ton of your videos I decided to just stick it in the ground and give it a try. I already have things popping up and feel so encouraged by watching you. I agree learning by experimenting in your area is the best way to grow. Thank you for pushing me to start growing my own food. Your garden is amazing.

[@rosee941]

I kill every house plant..... including the unkillable ones, but I do manage to get my outside garden going really well.... just give it a go!

[@lindamartin8614]

The plants over your cabbage are protecting the cabbage.Your garden is awesome for this time of the year a lot of plants are dying out in our deep south heat.

[@karahjo231]

Good afternoon Becky! Your garden looks so gorgeous, I truly think you have convinced me to move to your area, it's gorgeous and your weather is my dream🥲😍

[@brendahowell5946]

Yep 106 hear you can't wait to cooler weather look like your burning up.

[@bridgetmcgowan4584]

Sweetie you have nothing what so ever to be discouraged about. Your garden is fabulously! This tour took me to a happy place. Which these days becoming a recent widow is saying something. Watching your sweet excitement and hearing you describe your bounty is heartwarming. Don’t ever change, your Momma and Josh have to be so proud of you. Looking forward to many more beautiful vlogs. Take it easy listen to your body. I’m sure you know that. Thank You 🤗🌻👶🏻🌶

[@karenelkins5144]

Was wondering, what about the garden at the new place, with the strawberries and other berries? This garden looks great. Love to see all the veggies.

[@AcreHomestead]

The next owner of this house will get to enjoy this garden if they so want to garden but we will be building a new garden from scratch at the new place! It will be so fun to watch it all come together!

[@rachelhunting]

@@AcreHomestead I think she meant how is the strawberry/berry garden going at the new house 😊

[@octo448]

I was so jealous of all those strawberries you pulled from the new house, it was like a dream! I hope you get some more from that!

[@karenelkins5144]

Yes Rach Hunting that was exactly what I meant.

[@maxineb1969]

I just love that you snack directly from the garden. Wish my garden was doing as well, but I'm in east Texas and we are getting no rain and it's so hot everything melts...even me!

[@tinagillhamevans667]

I love your videos Becky I must be honest they light up my life. You inspire me so much I’ve grown more this year than I have any year and my harvest is coming in spades. Thanks for your wonderful channel

[@jeniferramirez3728]

You’re going to have so much fun making baby food!!! I loved it!

[@kristenevans4557]

Your garden is lush. Really magical to look at. You’ve done an amazing job with it.

[@KB-qo8kr]

You are a joy to watch. Thank you and all the best in your pregnancy journey. xx

[@veronica1863]

That rudbeckia is gorgeous . I love your garden tour!

[@MairIsabell]

I have been loving your honest garden updates. My garden this year has been sad for me- with the super rainy gloomy June everything is so far behind! But I need to also remind myself that our tomato season isn’t truly here yet and everything will come to maturity soon enough :)

[@ambethk77]

Wax pencils worked really well for me in the garden this year as markers.

[@connieferguson430]

Did you go back out and harvest those delicious looking cabbages.? I'm glad your being light about your gardens chores, we need to enjoy relax you do a wonderful job, and I do enjoy watching you and love your recipes 😊 . I watch and wind down, have a blessed day you and yours.

[@melissahoney8317]

If you transplant them just make sure you take some of the soil that they're already in and then put it in a hole in your new house and that way when they grow The Roots will get used to the new soil at the same time

[@judystophel1904]

I am waiting for a call for a new granddaughter to be born as I am watching your video. So exciting! Your garden is amazing. I love to see the progress. Stay safe.

[@ninasmith1540]

In the new house are you going to separate your produce and flower beds? I think you should transplant at least one of your blueberry plants as well as the herbs and medicinal plants you have in your garden. If you do get a greenhouse or even a growing tunnel you may find growing the ginger/turmeric easier in respect of starting the growing process. But this is someone from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 saying this! Good luck with the house move. Remember to rest when needed 🇬🇧🙂

[@kittyandmommalurrve1901]

I think.she said she got plans for her new garden and she wants a vineyard of wine grapes and table grapes I.guess we will find out when she uploads new videos of her transforming her. New Garden once she moves .in and settles down

[@jinee8856]

I can't stop thinking about this idea: You could plan a pond for your new garden and lead tiny little rivers through it! ♥
