    I purchased 2 half dead peach trees almost 2 years ago at a Tractor Supply in September 2022. We put them in the ground and my husband told me I wasted 30 dollars. Well, they are about 15 ft tall and full of peaches this year. There are probably 200 peaches on the 2 trees. I was feeling so good about myself that I bought 5 blueberry bushes and 2 fig trees too. The blueberries are full of berries.

    What you said about having a "green thumb" was very encouraging. I have always thought I could never have a garden because I have killed most house plants I have owned in the past. But one day I was watching Becky plant in her grow room and she said "There is no such thing as a "green thumb" you have to develop and learn the skill of planting." That was a huge Epiphany for me and that same week I went out and purchased a green stalk planter and I am so proud of all of the growth I was able to nurture in my green stalk. Thank you Becky, for the encouragement. ❤

    35 year gardener here. Warm weather plants, like tomatoes, tomatillos, cucumbers, basil, hot peppers...need 70*-75* soil temperatures to thrive. It doesn't matter the date. Get a soil thermometer and begin transplanting when the soil is warm. Anything colder than that stunts the vitality of the plant and wastes all the energy spent growing them from seed.

      @@k.j.krimson2590 I ordered my seeds off Amazon from Palouse Brand. Walmart also sells them. Larger grocery stores might even carry them. What I actually use is the actual Wheat Berries (seeds) that are sold for people to grind their own wheat instead of what is sold as “cat grass seed” even though it is the same thing but at a much better price. It doesn’t matter if the Wheat Berries are winter, spring, hard, soft, red, white, etc. That will make sense when you search for Wheat Berries. I’d only buy 1-3 lbs at a time because you really don’t need that much for a pot of grass. Hope your guinea pig enjoys!

I started onions indoors under grow lights end of January. And I started some in the greenhouse in April. Now it's June and they are both the same size, the greenhouse ones look a bit healthier, and I had far less work invested in them.

    The more you plant in a bed , reduces the nutrient intake for the plants that are in there , also in regards to chaos planting , remember that different plants/ flowers require different soils and different nutrients , throwing all different seeds in together might not be a good idea, because they won't be getting what they need .

    I’ve sprouted wheat for the chickens which worked ok ,but can’t use it otherwise and now that my greenhouse is not so full , will start perennials for fall planting, and keep my peppers and okra in the indoor beds, because they like it warmer inside than montana outside gives them.

    🌺Aloha Becky, enjoy watching your video and see what you're growing in your garden. I'm gardening in Hawaii and can grow all year long, which is great, but we still need to figure what grows in our area. One thing we've had success with are peanuts. We grew them in containers and this year we're using a grow bag. We did about two to three plants, they need space and spread out. After it flowers, pegs form and need to go into the soil to form peanuts. Sometimes we even cover the pegs to help the plant. We did get a lot of rain and hope to get a good harvest this year🤞I noticed you grow a lot of flowers in your beds, so that's what I'm doing in my garden this year a big change for our garden. See you in your next video.

    I throw the whole pumpkins behind my garage just on the grass because I’m just using it as compost material after Halloween. In the summer I have tons of sprouts shooting up everywhere. In the fall I will have pumpkins that I use for outside decorating. Crazy! I don’t add dirt or fertilizer. They face the North and don’t see much sun. They just grow themselves. I did this once on a pile of old hay and got pumpkins that way too. Unintentionally of course. Zucchini I sow the seeds and just ignore them until it’s time to harvest. I love watching how others do their gardening. I’m doing more flowers this year and dedicate a flowerbed to chaos gardening. But I call it my butterfly & bee garden.

    Hi Becky I came across a different way of getting sweet potato slips. Firstbyou shallow plant in compost the sweet potato. Once the leaves start to fill out you detach your slips and put them in water as you did. I imagine the rest is just as you do now. It just seemed that the slops were extremely healthy and abundant. Maybe one to try for next year.
    Lovely bouquet for your friend and it is special when you've grown them yourself. Another good plant for bouquets is alstromeria. Indian summer is just beautiful. This would be good in your landscaped garden and it comes back each year. Plus you can split it quite easily at the beginning of the season.💚

I had an idea and wondered if you and Josh thought about epoxy sealing your grow room floor. I’ve seen that used on garage floors and it looks amazing. Then you can put base boards down afterwards. Your grow room would look so tidy if you were to be able to do that. To have such a room is a dream and I love it! Not looking for a reply as you got a family to tend to, but hopefully you’ll have time to read in the event no one else has suggested. Looking forward to seeing your garden grow.

    let me know try it for all you're direct soil in the garden cover it up with a transparent plastics secure with the same metals tools you have for the black sheets till it all germinates, it make the humiditie high enaugh and prevent the predators
