Hello Becky. I love your channel. You have such a wonderful bubbly personality. Did you know you could easily make your own potting mix for seed starting by using a big compressed bag of peat moss and a big bag of vermiculite. Ratio of about 3:1. And then sterilize it yourself by pouring boiling water over it. Then when you go to up pot your little seedlings you can add amendments like worm castings or fertilizers. You can save a lot of money by mixing up your own. I know you’re no longer practicing but I too am a dental hygienist that loves to grow my own food. Happy gardening this season. 😃

For the organizers: I only have 1 set from Costco and I use them for specific purposes. I use the smaller ones to hold my eggs and bacon/meat defrosting and I use the larger ones for cheese and cold cuts. I only have the 4 currently because I worry that I will just shove them to the sides rather than use them properly.

You asked about the refrigerator bins. I bought a set and have found they really enhance refrigerator storage. First, I use them for holding fresh meat and or meat I have pulled from freezer to thaw. Doing that, I no longer need to worry about drips from packages happening. Next, I use them to hold soda cans and bottles of water. Very helpful to keep drinks from being knocked around in the refrigerator. Finally, I use them to hold fresh produce, Right now, mine is holding celery, cucumbers, peppers. You can see what you have in stock, and pull out the container for prepping. The interior of my refrigerator is so much cleaner now. In addition, I have a lazy susan that holds my pickled condiments. We love different types of pickles, and I can turn them to see which I want. So, feel free to try them. They have also served as pantry organizers and drawer organizers. Very versatile.

Thanks for taking me along on your Costco shopping haul (I spent a whole lot less money that way!). As for the refrigerator storage containers, I do use them in both my home refrigerator and in our fifth wheel which has a full-size refrigerator. I love them! I have so many various condiment jars/containers and the containers help to keep them wrangled into one area. When I need a jar, I simply slide the entire box forward; no more shoving jars, bottles, etc. out of the way in search of what I need. I also use them in my pantry!

Hi Becky! Lots of love! You can hang your white towels outside to bleach them - it works great! The sun does it all on it's own if they are just dingy and not totally stained. I was amazed that my babies cloth diapers come out pristine white by hanging them in the sun! Hugs from accross the water on Vancouver Island.

You can add a little lemon juice to the wash water before putting it out in the sun and it helps bleach naturally.

I've got an interesting natural gardening hack that helps with slugs, caffeine as in brewed coffee not grounds. I know grounds are typically used but they work best for the soil once broken down in the compost pile or bin. The best thing to do is to brew your nice strong coffee & once you're done just brew the grounds again. You can then spray or pour it in the soil around your plants. The reason it's so effective is because a 1-2% caffeine solution will repell & kill slugs usually getting rid of them completely within 48 hrs. Brewed coffee generally has a 5% caffeine concentration & you'll get another 2.5% when you brew the grounds a 2nd time. You just keep an eye out for slug activity & if you see any you just repeat which is pretty easy considering most people have coffee every day. It also keeps other pests out just don't spray it directly on foliage or it might keep insects away that you want in your garden.

Hi Becky, I love shopping at Costco, too! In response to your question about growing potatoes from store bought organic potatoes, I have done this once before but I would not recommend doing it. While those potatoes grew they were not virus free and all my plants died from a blight virus which can stay in the soil for up to 7 years. Always use certified virus free seed potatoes. (Once you grow these you can save your own seed potatoes.). Lesson learned the hard way… :)

😂 Yes I have all of those refrigerator organizers. I bought the one you're looking at, at Costco two sets of them during the holidays and I also went to The Container Store and spent $200 and bought some more organizers and people don't like to use them, so you're going to be the one setting them up and keeping them organized. If you cook a lot it gets tiring I don't cook a lot so it always looks pretty in my fridge🤗.

I use my organizers in my fridge and in my pantry. They're nice to keep smaller items from getting pushed to the back. I have one that has all of my homemade Chinese ingredients, and I have one for my cartons of egg whites from Costco. You get the idea. I have both the shorter and taller ones for my pantry to keep like items together. I use the taller ones for bottles of vinegar, oils, sauces, etc. I got all of mine off of Amazon. They have bundles you can get for a fairly good price. One set came with an egg storage, and I use that to put my hard-boiled eggs in so it wouldn't be a wasteful spend.

I love my fridge organizers but I got mine off Amazon. I also use mine in my freezer. I make freezer meal and some I freeze flat in ziplock bags. One they're frozen, I stand them up in the organizer so they don't fall and I can stack them standing up.

I enjoy the fridge organizers so much. I pull out just one get out what I want and put it back without having to rummage through the whole fridge. My individual bins don’t always look completely organized, but my fridge as a whole does. Hope that makes sense. Also, if you’re interested in trying new wines Trader Joe’s is a great place to go.

Garlic peeling tip: put the cloves in a bowl. Put another bowl about the same size upside down over the top and shake like crazy. The skins will just separate and fall off!

I do this too. Then put the peeled garlic in a canning jar and cover with olive oil. Put in refrigerator. Use as needed and oil as a lovely garlic taste when used in dishes.

Absolutely this! We had one when I was growing up. They are gorgeous, but you definitely want to put it in a wet low spot, far away from the house sewer & water pipes and the garden because it will sponge up water from the soil. They have deep roots and surface roots that will damage sidewalks, etc. too. They have a huge root structure and grow very fast. My grandfather grew a new one by just cutting a twig and starting it in the dirt like a plant. They are also a magnet for aphids and other bugs that require treatment that you don't want near an organic garden. I love this channel. Becky really does have a good community.

The everything bagel seasoning is amazing! My daughter and I both sprinkle it on our rice. I also put it on salad and on my eggs. And when I make nachos, sometimes we will sprinkle just a little over the nachos. The fridge organizer depends on how you and Josh use the fridge. They would be great for me. I love everything organized and knowing exactly where things are. My husband and daughter just put everything willy nilly and would not use the organizers effectively. I am team Kitchen Aid. I have never used a Bosch. But I used to have a KitchenAid, got it 2nd hand, had it for 10+yrs. Gave it to my friend when I moved bc she needed one and I wasn't baking much anymore. Now I am saving up to buy one again bc my daughter has so many food allergies I am having to make any baked goods for her at home. I have had other brands and they just don't compare.

I love peanut butter in my smoothies! The powder is great because you get so much more and can easily mix it. The only thing with the one at Costco is the extra ingredients and sugar. I’d get the one that is just peanuts. I love how you check prices by the pound vs what’s on the tag. It helps so much to shop that way or by unit price. I can’t wait to have my home stocked to the point where I don’t shop too often like you! 🤗🤗🤗🤗 oh yeah, everything bagel seasoning is so delicious on avocados!

I need wheat berries! Oh, yes, Organic Potting Soil was a great buy!! Mine wax in a white bag- Miracle-Gro. Our clothes are in the middle at our Costco. A few specialty clothing items as you walk in. I think you meant $31.99, not $39.99 for braising pan.

I ALWAYS shop the organic produce section of my store to plant in my garden. I do this with potatoes of all varieties, garlic & yams/sweet potatoes for growing my slips. In fact, I grow my potatoes in old tires. I start them in the center of 1 tire & add soil, then add soil & tires as needed up to 5 tires high. This method makes harvesting so easy. I have grown my sweet potatoes in old coolers & they were fantastic. You harvest them when the plant starts dying. Love your channel. You are just like I was 30 years ago, except I had 2 kids to feed.
