First HUGE Harvest and Preservation Day of the Season!

Love your videos Becky. Can you let us know why you have such big fences around the property?

Your garden is beautiful 😍!thanks for sharing!!

Thank you. I love watching your videos 😊

Do you edit on mute? There's a lot of non-talking portion that has breathing. It's probably because of where the mic is, but it sure sounds like you are breathing heavily.

Becky, you really out did yourself this time with the beauty of your herbs and flowers, they are as beautiful as you are ❤

Hi 👋 Becky... what's the difference between determinate and indeterminate tomato plants.?
Thank you Becky you answered my question in the video I appreciate all your knowledge and watch you bringing the harvest and preserve it.!❤🎉😊

It is pronounced Herbs with a H in Ireland and England but erbs in France. We also say Bas ill not Bays ill we call Cillantro corriander and Pecan is pronounced Pea Can not Pecawn😊😊😊

❤I really enjoy watching you Becky ❤it's it's so refreshing watching a young woman at one with nature in growing, reserving and preparing cooking, especially in this day and age, when most young people don't know how to cook never mind boil at egg, or some kids think chickens just come from the supermarket, fantastic job young lady, you are a great role model, keep up the wonderful work your doing ❤you rock, your hubby and family should be so proud of you dear ❤truly blessed you are ❤

For slugs, all you have to do is put a little dish or I use an aluminum pan with beer in it and put it next to whatever plant it’s eating. Slugs love to go to the beer and they will drown. My grandfather used to work for the Brooklyn botanic Gardens and he taught me lots of little tricks like that.

I freeze cilantro directly and it’s wonderful also in fresh dishes! I freeze all herbs and the flavour is just as fresh! I freeze basil, parsley, cilantro, sage, chive, thyme etc.

Cut flower stem on an angle & immediately put in sugared water for their 1st big drink :)

For Slug issues. Beer Traps.
Copper Barriers. ...
Diatomaceous Earth. ...
Eggshells. ...
Predators like worms
Hand-Picking. ...
Companion Planting. Chives & others

If you can try a Japanese yam ( in season) they are so good you might want to grow them

Congratulations!!!

Becky your snapdragons are gorgeous ! Your gardens looks fantastic

If you put mulch / hay on top of soil around cilantro plant soil will retain moisture prevent bolting. Great job.

Can you eat the garlic flower like a zucchini flower?

I very much enjoy hanging out with you and your garden

Copper tape would help you with the slug problem xx

Thank you in many more ways than one, Becky!!

Harvest-time is so exciting! I harvested scapes from my shallots and elephant garlic a few weeks ago, then pulled them a couple of days ago (November plantings). I had some in scrambled eggs. Delicious. 😋

The only stores I’ve ever seen garlic scapes is New Seasons Market.

Beautiful flowers! I envy your climate! This winter was a bad one, weather alternated from very mild to very cold, back and forth again. That resulted to ice under the snow towards the ground in many places and for me almost all of my sown garlic froze and rotted, now I have only 11...11!!!...garlics growing. I am so sad because garlic is very important for me to have, we love garlic. Extreme warm weather for 3 weeks in May and after that rain, thunder, strong wind and 59F, just startin to plant outside but nothing thrives with 41-50F at night (well, maybe the cabbage). Now I keep my fingers crossed för att warm autumn and hope for a good foraging harvest for berries and mushrooms! Have a pleasant week y´all!

I’ve been watching you for years Becky and your content quality has improved so much, I love all the different camera angles. I also really enjoyed this video because you actually left some quiet parts😊 you shouldnt feel like you need to voiceover everything- it’s just a joy to watch you. ❤

I freeze cilantro when I have extra from the store and it freezes terribly lol. I only use it in one dish currently and that's a puerto rican rice dish so I definitely agree that it works best frozen in cooked dishes.

Ive been growing music hardneck garlic organically for 7 years. If you miss a scape...let it flower and create seed that is acclimated to your garden
I grow those tiny seeds in large planters and replant them until they are a respectable size...about 3 years. One head gave about 200 seeds. It saved me last year when i was hit by root maggots in my garlic bed. My third year garlic was ready to replace the bigger ones. Of course i changed my bed location and let it go dormant. No roots, no food for the baddies. Im having an incredible harvest this year. Happy growing!

It is so great to watch you harvest. You inspired me to plant again this year but things are not going as planned. I am just super happy watching you and when your little plants don't grow you helped me not have a meltdown and to keep moving forward. Thanks for being a mentor.

You’re garlic is stunning! I overwintered mine but I think I put it in too early, nothing is happening. I’ll let it go another year and see what happens. The only garlic I have is volunteers from last year. 😢. Lots of storms here in the Midwest but so far, the garden is hanging on.

Have you ever tried growing cilantro during the winter? I have heard of people overwintering it without protection in zone 5a where it gets to be -20F and your climate is much warmer so I figure it wouldn't be an issue at all.

I have a couple of heads off broccoli that are about ready to harvest. This is my first year growing broccoli.

Come on everyone, let's get Becky to 1million!!!

Life has thrown me a few hard blows, and I had basically given up on living life fully. Watching you has inspired me so much that I have started my vegetable garden again and put flowers in my beds again. I have honeybees and chickens now. I admire you, and watching your videos inspires me so much. Thank you for sharing your time. Happy Father's Day to your loved ones.

Loved this so peaceful out there the flowers look amazing Becky wow first harvest love it xxx

Slugs are not attracted to “burp less”varieties of cucumber.

I love spinners. I pick up nearly every one I find for a good price at thrift stores and garage sales, although I'm not out shopping that much. Anyway, they are so handy to leave my salad green ls in, berries, other cut fruit or veggies etc... anything I don't want sitting in it's juice or water while in the fridge or even on the table while serving.

If I have extras and someone is over and does not have one then I may even send them home with one which is kinda like a $30 gift so they feel so special and fancy now! 😊

Those little ones are so cute too!

Ugh. My cilantro already bolted so I pulled it and discarded. Didn’t even consider planting those seeds. The more you know! 💫

I use my salad spinner to wash as well as dry: I put my greens in the double basket & fill it all the way up with cold tap water. Then I spin it 20 times or so and remover the inner basket and pour out the water left behind. Then I do this a 2nd time (if you see sand or bugs in the water, you can do it 3 or more times.) Then I put the inner basket back in and spin it to dry it as much as possible. Works great!

You could also do the same thing with the cilantro as the garlic scapes...make a paste with oil. It stays good for a long while in the fridge.

I love your basket! Where did u buy it from?

Great first Harvest

I have a genuine question for people from other countries,
How do you pronounce the word Herbs?
Do you say it erbs or herbs?
I'm genuinely curious,.I always find it fascinating how we call things different names or use different pronunciation
Thank you 😊

Becky, you should make cilantro salt like you did with your basil.

Is anyone else worried about what this mid June cold 🥶 nap is going to do to Becky ‘s garden?

I completely forgot I ordered sweet potatoes from Johnny's too 😂 they got here last week! Lol we had a fun time squeezing them into rows in our garden!!!!

I have had problems with slugs this year too and was told to put saw dust around the plants and it worked. Hope you can access so to help your plants too

Becky, I am so glad you did this video on the garlic scapes. I did my first harvest of the scapes in my greenhouse and I was pulling my hair out. I tried drying them and they were hard as rocks. It never occurred to me to freeze them. I have a second round coming from the garlic in the raised beds and I was already feeling the anxiety about loosing them all. Tomorrow, I can go out to the garden, harvest them, turn them into a paste and freeze them. Thank you.

Insook C has a 5 year old video on how to braid hardneck garlic. It works for me

You can pickle garlic scapes as well

It so pretty
