A garden hint for the future: Bring newspapers with you. You can slide sheets up under dried herbs or lay beside not so dried herbs. Wrap around your harvest and fold up. This will save all your leaves and seeds without any mess.

I totally understand gardening for your mental health. While I was caring for my mother in her last stages of cancer and dementia, I needed a place to decompress. My garden became my sanctuary, my church, and my fresh air, a place to find peace amidst the struggle of watching my momma decline. We intentionally build my garden outside her bedroom window, so she could see me, and I could check on her. I planted mixed Zinnias and she loved looking at the colors and her last bouquet was from my garden. My garden was my release, now it is my passion. Every year, Zinnias are planted in the front, the same way they were when momma was with us. It is like having a piece of her still with me when they bloom. 💕🌼🌸

Hi Becky. Oh my goodness. What a beautiful harvest just from those two beds. Also don't say it's my fault when something failed because of lack of watering. Look back at your own videos and see what you've accomplished. You moved and pregnant while at it! Still you get so much from that garden because you have nature run it's course. Sometimes constantly pruning isn't always the best thing and this garden shows it. I can't wait to see more of this beautiful garden. P.S. My tomato plants are getting big on my balcony and the basil is doing amazing! No garden but still fresh products from plants in a container. 😉 Bye my friend ❤️🇳🇱

Your joy at harvest is infectious! I enjoyed watching you gather your vegetables and eggs. I am learning about chickens watching you. "Give it to the girls!" Makes me smile. Congrats on a great harvest. I am looking forward to potato time. Thanks for sharing!

Here is a lot self satisfaction when you grow and harvest your own food. I always said, I feel better when I dig in the dirt. Ha ha. Your chickens are so happy. You make me want chickens.

Yes, on the satisfaction of harvesting the labor of love from seed starting. Definitely a good year for peppers. I’ve been amazed and oh, so happy with the abundance. Lol, I sometimes struggle with the rebounding of getting dirty in the garden to cleaned up and glam in the same day. 😅 lol, stresses me out if I can actually pull it it off.

Becky-just so you know, I watch your videos for my mental health. I know that sounds weird, but I do. I want to garden and had plans to for my mental health but moved to an area where I can’t right now. Your positive energy and outlook on everything makes me so happy to see. I have severe PTSD and have been struggling in the worst way these past couple years. I found your videos and channel last year, I believe. It has helped with my anxiety in a large way. Thanks for being you.

I agree so much about what our gardens bring to the proverbial table. My gardens are my sanctuary from the chaos. Being in my gardens lessons my overactive mind and helps me maintain calm. The added bonus is foods prepared in various forms for future use. Loved this video. Thank you.

Was getting ready to hit one of my favorite farmers markets and thought, let me check my phone and look what popped up! Love seeing you so happy in your beautiful garden. I don’t get to hop on as much (getting ready to send my daughter off to college) so I’ve been super busy and have missed seeing your garden and your “girls “. Thank you for putting a smile on my face and a tingle in my heart 😉. Now off to support my local farmers!

Maybe next year when you go to harvest your coriander, you can place a tarp on the ground underneath them before you pull them up? Just an idea. Also, blossom end rot is a calcium deficiency, nut is usually due to not watering often enough. The plant can't absorb the calcium in the soil well enough because it does not have enough water to transport it up the plant. So glad that your garden has been so productive! I can't wait to get mine going for next year now that we just moved in to our first house!

Absolutely great job, so happy for you! I have been trying to grow some veggies on my balcony, which faces south and has sun all day long, but unfortunately my cherry tomatoes and cucumber plants didnt even make a flower :( sad sad me... I also planted some potatoes in big bags and carrots and I will try to see if any of those have been succesful. I live in the city but I crave to have a little piece of land I can grow my own garden....maybe one day :) For now, I enjoy watching your videos and dream! Massive hugs from Italy, Deb

Those peppers are amazing, and that potatoes was so big I Hopper you get so many potatoes that you have to share with all your family.

I was hoping you would upload today. I lost my grandfather in April after a long illness and the last bit conversation we had was how he married my grandmother in a tomato patch, right when he proposed to her (he brought a priest with him) because he loved her so much. My tomatoes have been taking forever to ripen in my garden this year. Today my grandma went to join my grandpa. I went out to the garden to have a good cry and all my tomatoes are red and ripe. Thank you for sharing your garden today.
