That shot at 20:01 is perfection. Look at how lined up everything is! Did you ever dream that it would be THAT perfect?? Enjoy it now, before it all moves. ;-) And the landscapers-- this is probably an opus for them. Not many people can handle a garden of this scale and scope. It would be a blessing for their company if you allowed them to have professional photos done when it's in it's glory-- one in mid to late summer and another at fall harvest. Magnificent!!

Hey Becky! Just a tip with the skewers, soak them in water for about an hour before putting the meat on and grilling and they don't burn so much ❤️

I was going to say the same too. You can use metal skewers right away but you still have to soak wooden skewers before you use them.

Q - Have you numbered your raised beds? Just a thought, but if you did, then you can document each of them each year to see their successes over the years. E.G. - 'Bed 1' - have a drawing and sketch out which plants were in it, did it have fabric, soil enhancer etc. You could have a file for each bed and assess as you go.

I know it from Nigeria. We would buy it from the golf club in Port Harcourt. It is served with chopped onions and tomatoes. We still cook it in Houston. I have never made it with peanut butter, we usually grind up peanuts with ginger, garlic, chilli flakes. It is addict.

Your garden is absolutely spectacular. I for one am so proud of how far you and Josh have come. It’s been an, exciting,emotional & learning experience ❤

Becky, over on Cog Hill Family Farm they recently used their Harvest Right Freeze Dryer to dry sliced zucchini. Some they left plain, some they sprinkled seasoning on. When they tried them they said the seasoned ones were delicious and could easily replace potato chips as a snack. Just another option for preserving your summer squash this year. Your garden is looking awesome.

I have always been task oriented & creative my entire life (nothing like you in my later years). I've learned so much from you & wish that I had real life friends like you ❤. You've motivated me so much in my retirement years. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experiments with us.

I'm only about 10min in, but I wanted to say thank you. Because of watching you and trying different recipes and ideas I am so much more comfortable in the kitchen. My big win was when I made a salad dressing for my husband's lunch. It ended up being the talk of his table, and he loved it! And now I know what to do with my carrots. Thanks for inspiring me. ❤

All the work you two have put into this major move and upgrade is really taking shape! It is so amazing to watch your dreams come true on video. You two have earned this for sure! Keep up all this good work.

I LOVE seeing your smile when you come back into the seed room and state how much you got done! It’s so great to see the progress! Great work!❤

Before I forget to tell you, I was watching a European cook demo-ing various cooking hacks on YT a few days ago and he had a tremendous, easy-peasy, hack for peeling garlic. Since I recall all the angst you and family suffered during your garlic peeling party, I thought you'd want to know. It is simply, put your garlic cloves in a bowl/pot covered with cold water and let sit for 30 minutes. He showed the skins just slide off!! Peeling garlic has always been a huge pain for me too, so was thrilled to see how easy it could be.

Becky, I'm glad to see you were able to make arches in your garden. We put one arch up over my tomatoes. This way I could trellis the tomatoes with jute string. When placing the panels up they formed a gothic top, so we left it that way. I then feed solar twinkle lights on the top of the arch. Your dinner look delicious!

I sprout most of my seeds like that but i put them in a small plastic container. They usually sprout in about 3-5 days. Then into small cups and soil till they grow about 3-5 inches. Then into final containers. They do well that way. Your garden is coming along beautifully.

First time gardener here. Becky, you gave me the confidence to try. That it was okay to not have a meticulously planned, pruned, and perfectly accessorized garden. And i do not mean that in any negative way whatsoever. Your garden is BEAUTIFUL. I am eternally grateful that bring an outlook of "im just going to try it friends".

I was told by a dishwasher repairman to never to put knives or pots and pans in the dishwasher. Along with it being bad for the knives and pans it is also bad on the dishwasher. He said that is the number one thing he tells people. They like to sell the dishwasher saying you can do all of that but in reality it is not good for the dishwasher. I was also told by a long term employee at Macy's not to put the pans in the dishwasher and also the number one thing that destroys the pans are cooking at too high a temperature.

Suya is a West African street food delicacy. You should try it with Chef John's Jollof rice recipe. Yum!

Becky, super excited for your new beautiful garden!! We have a bigger garden this year too me and my grand Littles absolutely enjoy digging and playing in the garden and watching our hardwork and mother nature grow our family veggies and fruit and herbs

Becky, you will love the cucumbers on the trellis, last year ours was prolific. We also set up 4 panels side by side for our blackberries. So full, it is always walking and picking in the shade of the tied down branches.

The garden is looking amazing! Using that little torch to make the holes was genius, so much easier than the bigger weed burner, and the smaller holes leaves less room for weeds! Dinner looks delicious as well, what a successful day! 👍

Your garden is very beautiful. You are blessed..

Love the arches, Becky! Can't wait to see beautiful greens grow on them! Also, as a French person, hearing you trying to pronounce "Délice de la table" was very cute haha

The garden is turning out well

The arches are going to be amazing! Adding height to a garden really makes a difference. I love putting up hanging baskets even if they cast a little shade because it adds such color and depth and richness to gridded beds. Also tan grow bags with trellisses for sweet peas or roses are a great way to add beauty when you want to do something different from year to year. Also Growing sweet peas or annual flower vines on the fences. I am sure as you go ideas will flow. I love your potted plants on the patio. That is divine. Maybe a little hanging chair out there would be fun. I just love your space and your husband is a dream to help you and he loves helping you its easy to see. God bless you. My garden here in Portland Oregon is really taking off and I am just about to plant corn and melons. I am doing two 3feet by 3 feet beds of 4 inch spaced corn. It is an experiment I saw someone do. Exciting. Thank you for the video xo
