Pps: an idea for the space where the strawberries currently are: would be an amazing space dedicated to your sons playtime. When he’s older he’ll love kicking around a soccer ball there or playing catch, you could even put a swing set there or a mini playground, or build a play house for him or even a tree house of sorts. Since it’s enclosed it will be nice and safe and so close to the house, you won’t regret it!

@judithhobson5868 10 месяцев назад

@NanaSuze77 10 месяцев назад

Becky - if you let the zucchini get huge at the end of the growing season, you do not have to refrigerate them. They keep very well in the basement with your potatoes and onions. The skin gets very hard and they save like a winter squash! That way you can cut them open and give them to the chickens well into the winter months

Becky, I understand you are putting your beds to bed, but another option would be to plant some green manure crops (mustard greens, winter salads, etc). They will enrich your beds (by both nourishing the soil as they grow and by forking them in come early spring) and you will get fresh food for your chickens too! For your garlic beds, spread a thick layer of straw or much and they should be fine.

@emummy2 10 месяцев назад

Before you set your girls up in the woods make sure you know what the predators are in your area-it gives them cover and we all know that EVERYTHING loves a chicken dinner. One way I made it more appealing for my girls to come out and forage once it had snowed (NE Ohio) was to keep bags of fall leaves and regularly add a new layer for them to walk on. Long term benefit was a fabulous no work compost pile that has benefitted us for several years. If our fall is warmer than usual my garlic will sprout but the frost knocks it back only to pop back up in the spring.

@lindastent-campbell5130 10 месяцев назад

Hi Becky! Last year, my garlic sprouted and grew about 2 inches, even having put an inch of straw on it when it was planted. The sprouts turned a little brown when it got really cold, but come spring, they greened back up and grew. It was an awesome harvest as well; great big heads. I was so glad.😊

This is my second year with my garlic - it sprouts (this way I know it is going to live and it is getting itself established) and then the winter frost, freeze, snow and ice can come all they want because the garlic will go dormant and when spring comes they will wake up and continue growing....you will be fine.

@suegillettful 10 месяцев назад

I forgot I wanted to thank you for showing your chickens enjoying their treats. Please continue showing this for us city folks who wish they can have chickens. My grandparents had a farm when I was young and when we went out there to visit my grandma always sent me to get the eggs and sometimes feed and shut them in for the night. I loved it, it made me feel like such a big girl, i missed things when they had to move out when they got too old. At various times friends and relatives that lived in the country and had chickensand they seemed very glad to allow me to go out to their coop and collect eggs. Also i remember when I was young and didn't realize my grandparents livelihood was the farm, I got excited when my parents came back after dropping us off in summer, my grand mother would have to go out and catch and kill a chicken or w to feed everybody. She let me 1st watch her deal with this function and as I grew older got me to kill, gut (properly) pluck and then clean the chicken so it was ready to cook. The 1st time I saw or did the procedure from beginning to end, cooled my appetite for eating it until it sat on the table smelling wonderful and everyone looking forward to the wonderful smells. I know a fellow youtube creator Jamerrill, has chickens which are pets she uses for eggs but been hatching and raising another large batch of chickens which she slaughters and fills her freezer every year to use to feed her large family.

@angelinemutsengi2148 10 месяцев назад

YAAAY!! Chickens!! I loved watching them eating all your produce. I love it ❤

@beadwright 10 месяцев назад

Becky, You might consider one of your raised beds dedicated to strawberries. The greenstalk gets replanted and you have mentioned how good those berries are. I know they will expand and take over, so keeping them confined to one bed will preserve these wonderful fruit for years and keep them contained. You can even set up some netting to protect them from raiding wildlife. The previous owner had a kitchen herb garden near the patio. It could be very decorative as a little planting with a bird bath in the center too!

@jennaandparkerstaggs1113 10 месяцев назад

Becky, in regards to chicken food over the winter- just give them either freeze-dried goods, or give them reconstituted freeze-dried goods. That way you can use the produce for the chickens or for your family!

@juliedewyse8436 9 месяцев назад

Yes! And reconstitute with warm or hot water. We do that and think its a nice treat for the chickens.

When it comes to your chickens there are so many fruits, vegetables and flowers that are beneficial for the chickens and easy to grow. You can also freeze dry and rehydrate them if you want to. That flat area could be perfect for your sons play area. Swing set, sandbox, Tonka Trucks, ball games etc. He's not going to be little for very long and will probably want to play outside.

@scotserve 10 месяцев назад

That would be a great idea but remember they don't want their child in front of the camera. So will it not be hard for becky to be out in the garden when her son wants to be on his toys. I really respect their decision to keep the child away from the camera and I can understand why.

Could you use the "old" garden for the girls? I'm sure they would love those raised beds. You could put the scraps in the raised beds for them to enjoy and it would work double time...a place for them to scratch/eat and a compositing area. It's already fenced and wouldn't take much to get it going as a chicken run. Just an idea! Thanks for sharing your wonderful gardens, chickens and plans with us! Hugs.

We do let our chickens into our garden beds from late fall til early spring. We built a garden bed just for our chickens. It's just a in ground bed we amended with compost and planted beans, lettuce, mustard greens, kale and a few cherry tomatoes. The chickens can reach there heads in through the wire fence and eat what they want. We also grow Jerusalem Artichokes and the girls love jumping to eat the leaves as well as dig up some of the tubers to eat. Another plant we planted this year is Amaranth. We picked all the massive seed heads and have them drying indoors and some of the grain will go to the chickens.

In my experience, Silver Dollar Eucalyptus grows as a tree. You can still cut the fronds off to use in flower arrangements and still come back lush. They will start to hang down almost like a weeping willow tree. Very pretty. Smell great. They don't grow as tall as regular eucalyptus trees, but def a tree. I would plant at the edges of your property as the roots are quite invasive as far as septic systems, etc. And the roots will take over your garden bed if left in the beds as they are now.

@joniwasson2866 10 месяцев назад

Hi Becky, two things, on the garlic, you need to do a cover of thick straw and a good mulch. It is not dormant and is starting to grow too early. That will help keep it growing slower, and you will also see a better harvest. The other thing is that we did grow food just for the chickens. If you allow your zuchinni to grow big, it actually hardens the peel, and it will store and last all winter long. You can do this with cucumbers, other squash, and pumpkins. We would store them in a cool, dry place and cut some up to give to the chickens. We would also save the tops of our root veggies and allow them to sun dry and then also add that to their feed. They always seem to enjoy it. And during really hot days, my Gramma would take frozen fruit like apples, pears, or plums and sometimes corn and freeze them and feed her chickens. It helped keep them cool on those super hot days.

For your overwintering peppers - put them in your grow room, by a window without a grow light. Good natural daylight should be enough. Water them regularly. Did you give them fresh soil? Because they may need some nutrients to get them through dormancy.

If you cut your strawflowers and put them in a container without water you can enjoy them all winter and well into spring!

I'm going to have to come back to watch because, I have a meeting. I tried the French pumpkin since you revealed the difference between that one and the big pretty bright orange traditional pumpkin. The texture and flavor is AMAZING! I love how it wasn't watery, but full of texture and flavor. Mines was actually sweet. THANKS AGAIN, BECKY!

I offer to take leftover pumpkins from neighbors (post on next door or fb) and I ended up with over 50 last year. Kept in my garage and my girls got a pumpkin or two per week all the way through April. I used to try growing my own winter squash to save for them, but it's so much easier to just take pumpkins others buy as decorations.

Your garlic is fine it may die back but will continue to grow in spring. Alls good no stress.

@debbiehall3759 10 месяцев назад

We live in zone 8a/b. I planted and heavily mulched my garlic. It pushed right through the mulch and are already about 6-8” tall. We Don’t get as cold as you so the garlic is just fine all winter this way. Mulch yours and they will do just fine! Love the update and seeing how successful and blessed you are from all your hard work! Gardening is such a joy! ❤

Hey , Becky - that strawberry plants area would be a great yard games area.

I used to grow tabasco peppers and made dry hot peppers. My husbands name is Russ, so we called them R&B Peppers. Made great gifts.

My neighbor had a eucalyptus tree and they planted it beside their pool because they thought it would be pretty and it grew into a massive tree I was thinking the raise beds would not be a good place but as you look around your property remember they could get big

@helenlecornu1651 10 месяцев назад

I commented about that a few months ago, eucalypts can grow huge and unless its a eucalypt from the alps, it may not tolerate ground that freezes.

Becky, you are so inspirational to all of us! We are lucky to have you 😊

Entire beds of flowers are a great idea!! I'd definitely put cosmos in one, your's looked AMAZING this year.

@smlfri2002 10 месяцев назад

With the Eucalyptus trees plant them in an area that has space for them to grow. Depending on the type of tree they can grow massive. Love seeing your chickens enjoying the greens

Oh and freezing the zucchini’s and even pumpkin, for the chickens for mid summer is a great idea, it really helps them on those hot days.

A suggestion for the blueberry area. As a mama myself I highly recommend you have that green grass area as a play areas for your child. As they grow you’re going to want a place where they can run around and be creative. I would leave the blueberries there for fun and create a fun space for kids and family. I know one area does that too but sometimes having another area a change or scene is really nice for the kids. Just a suggestion.

@alexandriasorensen9064 10 месяцев назад

Eating fresh blueberries was one of my favorite things as a kid. If I had kids, I would do this too and add more kid-friendly plants. It's a fun learning experience!

@Kellkell-HP-9.75 10 месяцев назад

@@cynthiafisher9907her strawberries are currently outside the deer fence, but the blueberries are completely enclosed with fencing in that area. She might have put some blueberries elsewhere on the property outside the deer fencing. I think when they were getting the landscaping done she mentioned doing that as part of the landscaping and being willing to share those berries with the deer.

@alexandriasorensen9064 10 месяцев назад

@@cynthiafisher9907 They definitely would. They would likely have to put up more fencing, but that would probably be best for the little one as well.

Wash the pumkin with vineger and next year cut the vine 20 cm to each side of the pumkin. And set varm 22C or more until Orange. Then set in your Food basemenet. Have eaten pumkin in May, just check for spots. Good luck

@marshhomestead4963 10 месяцев назад

Great video Becky! I love your ideas with grapes and fruit trees. That will look amazing. I would definitely protect them because deer will destroy them in an evening if they aren’t protected. They got into my garden for the first time this year and we’ve been gardening here for 10 years. They ate my strawberries down to nothing, ate almost an entire grape vine, cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli in one evening. Let me tell you I wanted some venison in the freezer. I was devastated because I worked so hard getting it ready for this years garden season. Needless to say I got a garden harvest just no brassicas. 2024 will be better.

@oregontrisha365 10 месяцев назад

Your chickens look great. Mine are heavily molting. I'm near Salem. My hardneck garlic is up and I've never had an issue with freezing or being damaged. Never mulch over the sprouts or anything. They even survived the ice storm a couple of years ago.

@MK-ti2oo 10 месяцев назад

I use my over abundance to make my dogs food. I feed her a raw, home grown, home raised, foraged/hunted meal. Usually chicken, wild turkey, or venison with carrots (including the greens) pumpkin, greens, turmeric, ginger, tomato, apple, eggs and olive oil, avocado oil or mct oil. I blitz it all up in my food processor and mix it in a 40 quart stock pot then fill it into 8oz containers that get frozen for her. Freezing it makes her slow down while eating and she seems to enjoy the challenge.

Yesterday was our first freeze in Fredericksburg Virginia and I'm clearing out my tiny garden preparing for much larger one next year. This was my first year gardening on my new land and we could only afford to grow one variety of tomato, pepper, cucumber, pumpkin and as a fall garden grow carrots and lettuce but I was just able to place 2 seed orders with recommendations from you and I'm beyond excited. Migardener and baker creek seeds. 2024 I will be growing 4+ tomato varieties, 5 varieties of peppers, (sugar rush peach pepper being one im beyond excited for to make hot sauce)3 variety of pumpkins but also cabbage, zucchini, green beans and a few other things but I'm beyond excited to see what all I have room/money for. Good soil/ natural fertilizer is my own money problem thank goodness instead of variety of seeds. We have been very lucky to have been blessed with pallets to tear apart and make beautiful rustic looking raised beds with but little by little were getting there. I love watching your videos and learning from you! You have helped me come across many other amazing people/company's and thank you for that! You make choosing seed varietys and among many other things alot less stressful.

Herbs on the patio is ideal! I have a whole herb and flower bed right outside my kitchen. It's the best. I would do greens too but the deer would eat them up.

I think someone in the last video had the best idea. Put the smallest pot of peppers on your windowsill and seeing it will remind you to water it and other two that you could leave in the grow room
