    Hey Becky, thought I would let you know… you really shouldn’t paint your propane tank a dark color. It should be a reflective white or silver to avoid it building up pressure in the heat/sun. (I work for a propane company here in Texas and we are required to refuse service to any tank painted any color other color but white or silver/grey.). I would check with your propane company before painting it. I cannot be certain on requirements in your area, but it’s worth checking out first, instead of finding out you can’t get it filled when you need it.

    I love the green stalk. My husband and I are 70 and have never been able to have a homestead. we do however own our own two-bedroom bungalow, with living room, dining room and large kitchen, with an added-on bathroom as when it was built, they used an outhouse, so you can imagine how small it is. lol we do have a nice back yard in which we grew fruit trees from seeds. we used to have a small victory garden, but I told my husband I would like raised gardens in which we could put in a good area of the back yard, I figure we may not have a homestead, but it is the next best thing. we are completely debt free, so I count my blessings every day. I love following your progress and I learn so much from you.

Luckily previous owners weren’t gardeners so I had a blank slate on my little property. Last November I installed 4 large raised beds which are producing well. I’m learning about preserving by watching Becky. My goal later this year is to install a small cottage garden (to match my house) in the tiny front space.

    You can root the strawberry runners into little plastic cups that you just clip with the clothes pin to the outside of the pockets and you can have the babies grow inside the cups and then you transplant the strawberry babies to a new green stock once they're ready to be separated from the mother plant.

    Do you put your chickens poo in the beds? When you clean out their area, scoop the poo into a pile to decompose so it's not "hot" for the next year. You can add it to your beds in the fall and by spring time, it will be ready to plant in. This will give you a lot of nitrogen. Chicken poo is high in nitrogen.

    Plant lavender, Russian sage, fox glove, rosemary and catmint by the honey bees. The deer will not eat that and you will have glorious honey. Lavender! Lavender! Lavender!

I love how they look, particularly from a distance, the plant forms branches that produce layers of white. I don’t care much for the smell so I would never use them as cut flowers or filler flowers in bouquets. Not many people grow feverfew, but once you have them, you’ll have them forever.

    When you talk about volunteers, just be very careful about squash volunteers. There are volunteer squash that can make you sick. Your garden looks beautiful. And just when you said it doesn’t get too hot in the Pacific Northwest today we are supposed to be 100 and yesterday was even hotter. That means water water water. I’ve moved 2x in the past 20 years and at both places I plant a Cecile Brunner Climbing Rose. They are beautiful. Here in Eugene I’ve had a really hard time getting my cucumbers to grow. They are finally growing 🤗

    Hi, Becky. Next year, you might want to consider planting some Daphne. It has the sweetest scent and pretty little delicate purple/dark blue. Daphne, I believe , is a bit overlooked,

  • @tinaslouisianakitchen8963

    Becky, you might not want to trim on your determinate roma tomatoes. Since it’s only going to put on just so much growth, every branch is important. And as you know with determinate tomatoes, it will put on a main crop of tomatoes then start dying down so when it starts getting real hot it will be done before the disease and pests can hit it. Now an indeterminate tomato I will trim the fire out of it in our humid climate.

    for roses that are great for trelis, super dorothy and super excelsa, small flower and rather simple but their abundance and the fact that they bloom all summer and usually grow about 4-5 meters high are excellent

    Your garden looks great Becky just a suggestion that I do with my runners on strawberries. I use a hairpin and stick it. Stick the runner on the ground and then put a hairpin over the top. It's like a clip in the ground and it holds that little runner down might want to give it a try.

    Here in Connecticut it's very hot for this time of year. It's the new "normal". I had big gardening plans this spring, but I didn't manage to get any of them done. My greenstalk is full of weeds, and critters ate all 30 heads of garlic. When that happened I lost hope and steam to get my garden planted. I've got 3 San Marzano tomato plants to put in the ground along with two tomatillos and a bunch of basil and other plants.

    • @cynthiafisher9907
      @cynthiafisher9907 Před 24 dny +2

      I’ve had the same issue. Try just working in the garden 15 minutes a day. You can chip away at it. Plant one plant per day or a few seeds. And pull a couple weeds.😊 You can do it!

  • @kathrenthawley1526

    You might consider honeycomb or star jasmine vines for the arches; both your bees and hummingbirds should love them, and the smell would be amazing.

    Becky 😊 I have some Snapdragons that I planted 5 yrs ago in pots. I live in Vancouver, Canada, with a similar climate as yours. I cut them for vases all season, and when they start their last flowers allow them to go to seed. They winter over and I just transplant them into other areas in my garden. For five years I have not purchased Snapdragons 😊

    Plant Mountain Mint near your Beehives. The Bees use the natural Mint Oil from the Leaves to Clean Varro Mites off their Bodies. IMO Natural Solutions are far better than the Poisons they use Commercially. LOVE LIVE LOVE your Garden Becky.

    Hi Backyard,
    If the lower beds are more lush than the upper beds, perhaps the fertilizer is being washed down with watering. Just a thought, I’m really not sue. In NewEngland where we lived, I knew.
    Here in Florida it’s a whole new game and it’s hard. You’re doing great. Hugs Elaine.❤

    Becky, if you "train" pumpkins to grow up the trellis, won't that prevent them from growing large? Unless you train the small white pumpkins, that may be ok?

    Your garden is so beautiful! Thank you so much for the tour. You continue to inspire me to garden even though my yard is very small. I think that a climbing rose would be stunning on your arched trellises. My sister has a beautiful climbing rose on an arch at the entrance to her garden called RAINBOWS END. It has all the colors that are in your snap dragon beds- various shades of pink, yellow, peach and coral colors. The blooms are a bit smaller than most roses but it fills out and is packed with flowers! People in her neighborhood were always stopping to take pictures of it- so beautiful! I wish I knew how to insert a picture of the roses here 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Your garden is amazing and it looks so healthy. The flowers are just... wow! The loofah plants need heat to thrive, once you get to the 80's 90's weather they will grow like crazy, but they do need time and usually they are the last crop to harvest, don't give up on them just yet.
