    Aww Becky so sad but so exciting too! Your feelings about the garden make total sense. You have a lovely way of thinking about things 😊You inspired me to grow food for the first time ever this year and I'm so grateful that you did. It's like your garden has a little extension here in Ireland and I'm sure in so many other places too. So even if the new owners do rip it out, it's kind of like its living on 😊

    A friend of mine sold her place while her garden was producing (much like yours) and she (in the closing) determined that the new owners were willing to let her harvest the garden. She generously gave them half the harvest in exchange for letting her harvest it. They really didn't know how to harvest or preserve. She helped them learn... and I am sure next year they will be better gardeners because of her help. Good luck, girlie...

Every time I’ve needed a friend, you have been there without even knowing it. I am so emotional about the last harvest here. But I am so beyond excited to see how you transform your new space.

    My last garden was in Montana, very short growing season. Many, many green tomatoes with first frost imminent. From somewhere, can't remember where, I was told to pull up the entire tomato plant with the green tomatoes and hang them up, roots on the top. The green tomatoes will continue to pull nutrients from the plant and a lot of them will ripen. And you can still enjoy some green tomatoes. I did that and hung them in my pump house for my well. And indeed it worked. Should work in your basement. I love your channel. I enjoy you, such a positive person and so grateful for your blessings.

    Oh! If you’ve never ate fried pumpkin, definitely try it! My husband said his momma always fixed them fried pumpkin every fall. I thought he was off his rocker but said I’d try it. OH MY WORD - YUM! In case you haven’t fixed pumpkin this way, cut pumpkin up, boil in small amount of water to soften skin, remove skin and put the meat into a skillet with butter, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon and nutmeg if you don’t want to use p.p.s.

    I hope you gave your agent a grid map of the garden for the new owners. I know you can't give it to them directly but you can certainly go through your agent. Also really good to know if they want to use the figs - and other unripened peppers, asparagus etc. - wouldn't it be great if they could harvest it or they would let you harvest it and donate it to a local food bank. I would hate for that harvest to be ignored. It's a lot of food that many people could use.

    I would let the new owner know that you would be happy to show what's left in garden for them to harvest, perhaps you would start the next adventure for new owner. In the times we are living in now, growing food for yourself is the way to make ends meet, especially with everything you've done. Teach them to use the raised beds, let them know about your channel, by watching your videos they can learn. It is my hope that the new owners continue with your garden, and take care of the fruit trees. I hope you meet them, and become friends. If someone left me so many things in a garden, I'd be calling them to say thank you! I hope they appreciate it. Looking forward to your new garden, and now you can start harvesting fruit from your new place, and making some goodies! You have a giving heart, the world is better because of people like you, bless you. ❤

You have left this piece of earth better and more abundant than you’ve found it, and no doubt your new peace of land will reap an even greater harvest! Blessings to you always!

    Consider growing lufas in the same garden with your squash and zucchinis, and pumpkins. I have friends who found lufas (they're very smelly) seemed to protect them. This may be just a fluke, but the plants that weren't with them had bugs, the ones with, didn't. As well as nasturiums and marigolds, many people swear by those, too, for keeping bugs away.

We used to have a 5,000 square foot garden but each year it got less and less. I am really looking forward to your new garden and your new life with Josh and the baby. Keep up the good work.

    When we sold our house, I made a folder and wrote down everything about our home and the surrounding area. Places to shop where to go out to eat. This folder had everything for the new owners, every nook and cranny about our house. I felt it was the right thing to do. I wish the person who sold this home to us here in Tennessee had done the same. There is a huge asparagus bed here, I wish I had info on when it was planted and how to take care of it. There is a plot where there is a garden, so I started a new garden and I am doing great. But you should try to meet with the new owners for a day and walk them around the garden to explain it so they are more informed. We did this with the buyers of our house, they were so thankful and for the folder I left as they came from Seattle to Las Vegas and had now idea about leaving in Nevada. I think to go and take as much as you could so they might not know what is what is wrong…try to ask if they would like to meet and find out what they are getting so they can go in and be successful in growing food for themselves. Learn and pass it on so others can prosper as well…

    It was so emotional watching this video. I had a tear in the eye, I can’t imagine how hard it must be to leave something that has bought so much joy. Becky you have encouraged so many of us all around the world to get into gardening. My journey started in March 2020 at the start of Covid. I have recently started to extend my garden into my front yard in raised corrugated iron garden beds. With spring in Australia it’s all systems go for the season. I have got Tomatillos, jalapeño peppers and ground cherries to play with this year all because of you Becky and watching your joy harvesting your beautiful produce. I also bought Rhubarb from a Rhubarb farm 15minutes from my home today and made two batches of Rhubarb Jam this evening. I will be adding chickens to my backyard in the future I am allowed to have no more than 10, as living in suburbia. But that will be enough. You say you get so much from the community of your channel, but I can certainly say that we as a community get so much from yourself and your whole family you are an inspiration to many of us. And particularly those of us that have health issues and are isolated you are that friendly face that makes a bad day great.
