This weekend, we had power outages, including water. It was going to be my first attempt in a long time to do some canning. Thx to my husband for buying us water, I did 2 days of canning peaches and tomatoes, despite no electricity or running water. I'm pretty proud of all I accomplished. Thank you, Becky, for your inspirations.

I also, was without water, power, cell service from Thursday evening until Saturday late day. And I am still under a boil water advisory. I am about an hour outside of Detroit in Brighton, MI. Despite these factors, today I defrosted my freezer and had enough chicken carcasses to make approximately 20 quarts of chicken stock. I used my camp stove and figured that the water I used, boiled for long enough to be safe. I will be pressure canning it all tomorrow. Thank goodness for propane and a camp stove.

Corn: When you have silks on your corn, shake your tassels so the pollen falls down onto the silks to pollinate and helps produce your corn.

Hello, i live in an apartment and was not allowed to have anything on my balcony because they were doing painting so i planted my corn in my apartment i know quite funny! I did not know about the tassels until i looked it up and i actually took the tassels and rubbed them on the silks to pollinate! I did not know any of this so thank you so much for your helpful advice!! I do have two stalks that grew and have corn on them!

Becky, for a person who didn't think she'd get much of a harvest, you knocked it out of the park! I am amazed especially in the harvest of your tomatoes. They are beautiful. Everything looks wonderful. I love your garden tours and love love love to see what you do with your harvest in the kitchen. You are very talented.

For the cardiac arrest, try cayenne pepper tea and putting a pinch under the tongue when going to bed,fresh garlic, onion and ginger pure grinded twice a day is helpful. Lemon water, little exercises, sleeping early, having enough rest, plant based diet, trusting only in God,self control. They sound so cheap and simple, but believe me you'll really thank God at last.

I have never seen that view of the backyard either.

Corn produces separate male and female flowers, with the male flowers, called tassels, sitting right at the top of the plant. Up here they can catch the wind, enabling the pollen to be carried off in the breeze. The female flowers are located further down the plant and are what will eventually form your ears of corn.

I just love you Becky!!! I am 20 years old in nursing school and I watch your videos to relax. This is my absolute goal- to have a garden and harvest like you do. Thank you for all you do!!! You are truly a superwoman!!!🩷🩷

This 3 basket thing isn’t working this time of year, lol! You need a basket at the end of each bed then drive your little cart around collecting them all. 🧺

If your friends and families are done with zucchini LOL or tomatoes, you may want to look for a local food bank because they do accept fresh garden produce and families could really use the help.... What a great blessing!

I come from Minnesota, aka one of the big corn growing states. The life cycle of corn is, it grows, it tassles(aka flowers), gets pollinated via wind and insects, then it grows the ears of corn seeds after it has been pollinated. So don’t despair!! You will get corn off your plants yet!

I love to see you gardening in your pink fuzzy slippers! Your garden is beautiful and so productive you should be proud of all your successes and learn from the other experiences.

Just a suggestion for next year. Try doing an arch trellis with hog panels for some of the climbing plants, in between the walk ways connecting the beds. Plant Plants such as cukes, pole beans, smaller melons, butternut squashes and pumpkins. It would also look amazing with Nasturtiums. Looks like you might need a wagon too 😂. You have an amazing garden and there are endless possibilities!!! ❤

Hi Becky, I'm watching from NZ where we will go into spring next week. Watching your videos gives me inspiration for what to grow and how to handle the abundance that comes.

Omg, seeing your sleeping bees made my day! I've been sick and today was rough. Touring your garden was wonderful. Thank you💕

For someone who lives in a tropical climate that gets good amount of rain and sun year-round, I am perpetually curious about how everyone on the other side of my climate do when 4 seasons come. So when I stumbled into your channel Becky, it was like a dream come true to be able to witness spring, summer, fall and winter and see how you and your family transition between those seasons, especially in your gardening journey.😍❤ To be able to witness as you start planting until harvest, preservation and then consuming all those produce that you grew from seeds, sometimes I wish I live with your bumblebees so I could enjoy the beauty of the gardens everytime everything blooms and produces.😅😍 When I was a kid, my ultimate dream was to have a small piece of land, with a meandering creek across, and lots of fruits and vegetables that I planted and will continually harvest to feed my family.😍 Because of you, Becky, that long-forgoteen dream of mine was awakened and I realized I wanted it now, more than ever. Nope, not even a want, but a need.😅❤ So please continue uploading, don't get tired sharing to us a glimpse of your wonderful life, because you inspire so many people with your talent, patience and kindness.😍 P. S. Can I live under your garage and be your helper in the garden?😂 I love to potter around the garden, and wouldn't mind at all if I am left alone to tend to everything the garden needs.😍😁😅

@@___palomino___4677 Hello.☺️ We literally can do harvest all year round, especially with how there is perpetual sun and rain.😅 That's why I am so curious about how other people, from across the globe, do it with just a small amount of spring and summer months of sun. But of course, you have to take into consideration cold crops like the cabbages and carrots that loves the cold, we have high mountains that is colder and gets fog, but never snow, who supplies fresh veggies all year.😁 Tropical fruits are abundant too. Of course there are specific fruits that only blooms and fruits in its own month/season, but there are perpetual fresh produce everyday of every year.☺️ Sometimes I think we are being too spoiled by fresh produce, it's amazing to me to see how Becky turns her produce into canned food and save a lot of money because of it.❤️ I am actually on youtube to see how other people eat and consume food that has four seasons, so very unlike us here in a tropical climate.☺️ But on that note, I have not seen or know of any one that does homesteading like Becky does, here in my country. We do have people that has acres and acres of land, but it's usually for farming families that produces rice, sugarcanes and the like, but not like real homesteading. And I dream of someday doing just that, real homesteading, if finances and opportunity comes, that is.😁😅❤️ Sorry, my explanation got away with me but I hope I answered your question.😅

Hi Becky... very happy your garden is doing so fantastic after the worries early on in your season. I love that you found nasturtiums sprouting in your green stalk. Next June I am sure you'll have a lot sprouting in your much next to your patio. I've found them sprouting all over the lawn around my garden. Enjoy your day!

Love the sleeping bumble bee's. What a harvest. ❤❤

Hi Becky and everyone! Lovely garden again this year 😊 love all the bees napping in the flowers ❤😂

From a farmer. Plant your corn further apart.. they are way to close and the roots were fighting eachother so all of its energy was in the roots and not in producing cobs/seeds. I plant about 12 inches apart. Also they need consistent watering especially in a raised bed. I planted about 100 seeds directly from packet to ground and got about a 90% germination. Got 12 points of corn canned from it plus weeks of fresh corn on the cob for dinner and gave a away a lot as well!

This corn is at its beginning! The tassels are very important. They are the pollinators for the ear of corn to curnal.

Hey Becky love all you video they inspire me a lot thank you for posted on your busy life and schedules

Hi, it is totally amazing how for the cost of some seeds you harvested SO much produce! Completely mind blowing! Way to go for some one who thought they were not going to get much! I can hardly wait to see what you do to harvest the sunflowers! Thanks for another exciting amazing day!

And probably 30-50k for the garden itself.

You should see if you can find some bird baths to put near the vegetable patches. Pop some large pebbles in them, so the bees have something balance on and don't down. It'll give them water to drink. I do it at my place, it's amazing how many stop by.

Listening to you harvest chili peppers is so fun, the sound of chili peppers coming off the tree sounds very appealing. A small garden but full of trees, so beautiful.

By the way I loved your harvest videos in my country I wake till 1 in night just to see your harvest

I literally just turned on my TV to see if you have a new upload and you have! Now I’m happy! ❤

"One for the master, One for the dame, One for the little boy who lives down the lane!" Hugs from Esquimalt!

In the UK they let the zucchini get really big, then harvest it and scoop out seeds and stuff with a ground beef, onion, tomatoes mixture and bake. They call it a marrow. Delicious.

Wtg you've done such a wonderful job of your garden and all your hard work has paid off. There isn't a better feeling than picking your veggies, cooking it and eating good that you've grown yourself. Well done you.

Oh my goodness! Your planning and planting have really started to pay off! How exciting.

I love love your garden slippers!! And how many garden beds do you have? Hats off to your impeccable gardener!! And your gravel walkways and huge rock walls are gorgeous....thanks do much for this garden video. From Central Oklahoma

I can't believe how FAST your garden has grown, I've never been a gardener myself, it's amazing how quickly (and beautifully!) it's gotten to this point. I would love to have a garden like this one day 😍

Wow Becky, your family will never go hungry whilst you have time to garden and preserve 🥰 I have made tomato jam for the first time this year, and am looking forward to trying it. I am English, but live in Bulgaria and the internet is my way of learning new things and developing my skills. I really enjoy my garden and all it produces for my husband and I. We are retired and are busier now than we ever were - and love it. Thank you for your videos, I love spending time with you in your garden and kitchen, and am learning new things all the time xx

I recommend saving some Jade bean seeds. My family is a long term homesteader in Arkansas, the last 2 years its been pretty difficult to get the jade green bean seeds without paying for over priced ones. They are one of our family favorites as well. I'm not sure if its just our area that's having trouble or what. Its just if you have them save some, I know you are excited over seed starting and I'm all here for it. Plus using your own seed adapt that much quicker to your climate. I've always wanted to make my own heirlooms.

The bumblebee’s sleeping was just the sweetest thing. And I love all your pumpkins.

Hi Becky! Really enjoyed the harvest vid. Corn - space it out like the sunflowers and plant bush beans or squash beneath it after it gains some height. Corn doesn't do well crowded...SMILE!!!

Becky if you ever want to make "bunuelos" a thin crispy Mexican Christmas treat, save the husks from the tomatillos. Bunuelos are avery thin tortillas fried then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. The tomatillo husks are put in water to boil, this is the water you will use when making the masa "dough" it will make the dough extra stretchy a good thing since you want to pull the dough thinner than you can roll it. I learned this secret from my late mother in law, when I lived in Mexico.These are delicious and have the taste of Christmas. I do hope you try making them. Until next time much love. 💖💖💖

The Sound of Harvest as you Snap the Veghie off the Plant is the absolute Best!!! Wgat an abundance you have Becky. The Garden Beds, Patio, the whole Design is absolutely Beautiful. Stunning. Such an Incredible Lovely Space you have Created. Exceeding Abundant Blessings.

Hi Becky, Wow what a haul out of the garden. You should get one of the foldable wagons with the big wheels to bring in your harvest. Next year the baby could ride in it out to the garden with you.

What fun it eas watching you harvest your garrden!! I miss those days.

Your yard and garden are looking so amazing!!! ❤👍🏻👩🏻‍🌾

You need to feed the melons they’re heavy feeders. You need to feed them

Hi Becky, you might think of getting one of those wagons that Costco sells. It’ll save you a lot of steps. Your harvest blows me away. My piddly garden that I had in containers was a bust. I wasted so much water and yielding maybe 6 cucumbers. Same with my Tiny Tim tomato plant, and green beans. I live in a very hot Northern Ca area just down from Sacramento. I’ve ripped it all out. I’m a senior living alone now since my husband passed 16 months ago. I enjoy your videos. You’ve come a long way and you’ve done so much. Enjoying the fruits of your labor by sharing and preserving is what it’s all about. It’s a gift we give to ourselves if we are fortunate enough to have a flourishing garden. Looking forward to all future videos. 🤓

I have so many peppers in my freezer from years of harvesting. I also dehydrate them for stuffing in my roasts. Oh and habaneros are easy too.

Becky my goodness your garden has taken off and is growing so beautifully!! I love these long garden harvest videos, brings me relaxation and joy! And those bumblebees taken a nap inside or on the flowers is the cutest thing!! 🥰🐝🌸🌱🍅🥬🌶️🫛

What an awesome harvest!!! ❤❤❤❤ Your hard work is paying off big time!!!

Besides Freinds and Family Don't forget the local Food Pantry and The Place where they make meals for the homeless. They always need food.

Corn needs about 1 inch of water a week, particularly when the stalks begin to tassel. Water stress during pollination will result in ears with lots of missing kernels, so don't skip watering your corn patch. Apply water at the soil surface by using a soaker hose or drip irrigation.

I love love love watching your channel. I feel like we are totally friends 😊 We have two Gorilla brand wagons that I use ALL THE TIME. They are excellent for harvesting in the garden. If you were to get one, I’d highly suggest the one with mesh wire instead of the plastic dump one. The metal wire one turns into a flatbed which also comes in handy…-and it doesn’t fill with water when it rains!

This summer my sister in law brought us 3-4 very large zucchuni that grew and grew while she was out of town for a little bit. We cut them in half length-wise, scooped out some flesh and mixed it with other vegetables. We froze one set of 2= 4 halves and cooked for our meal the other 2. They were so delicious!!

It is exciting to see your garden grow. Watching yall build it from the beginning makes it something amazing to see. You are so blessed. New baby, house, garden, and lots of blessings. Congrats for this year of first❤s

Hey Becky, the tassels on top of your corn is what pollinates to form the corn. So you wouldn’t see any corn forming until after it tassels. It pretty interesting to read about how corn grows.

I just started the video, but I think it is hilarious Becky is carrying three baskets and a coffee as if trying to get it all in one trip. Meanwhile she has to go back and get the camera!

I remember being that young, gleaning, gardening, canning and freezing. I am much older now and doing what I can but enjoy watching your videos.

Yeah!!! A new video from Becky!!!

Soon you will be able to share your love of gardening with your son. My 8 year old loves gardening. I just got him his own raised bed for his birthday. He’s so happy and can’t wait to start seeds in February.

I'm in the process of building my first mini garden this year. I'm super excited to start. My husband will be building me three elevated raised beds so this year will be a wash for savings but hoping to save money in the long run and have healthier vegetables with no pesticides 😊

Southern yellow squash: cut tender yellow squash in small pieces. Cut new potatoes same size as squash. Dice a medium medium to large onion. Amounts vary according to how many servings you need. Dust onion, squash and potatoes with flour. Fry in an iron skillet using vegetable oil to which a couple tablespoons if bacon grease is added. Fry till crisp and done. If you have a ripe (red) bell pepper, dice it and add to mix. Delicious.

What a wonderful, well deserved harvest Becky. A great reward for all your hard work, perseverance and research. Congratulations!

Becky! Love your videos! Just want you to know that you can shell the pinto beans and eat them fresh cooked as well - yes they taste different from the dried but they are delicious! I live in East Texas and we love them fresh when when we can get them in the summer and you can also freeze them fresh and cook later!!! Try it!

Gorgeous garden!

I’m harvesting so many tomatoes, tomatillos and peppers right now. September is always crazy.

Wow great job Becky. Been waiting you for years now. So nice to see your dreams and goals come true 😊

It’s an amazing garden Becky! Make a journal of the things you want to do and not do next year, because you will forget if you don’t write it down. Have a great day!🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼

You need a cart Becky, that way you can load all your baskets into it and then put all your produce into the baskets then into the cart, also a bit of extra room in the cart for more produce, then pull the cart back up to the house, easier than carrying heavy baskets.

Your garden is BEAUTIFUL!!! I used to do gardening but due to back/knee issues, I don't anymore. So glad we have a local Amish organic produce stand that I go to buy produce, though now someone has been bringing their abundance to church to share with us!!! Keep up the good work!!!

So excited for you. Your garden is doing great. How fun!

All your hard work is paying off! Great job Becky!!
