Aww Becky so sad but so exciting too! Your feelings about the garden make total sense. You have a lovely way of thinking about things 😊You inspired me to grow food for the first time ever this year and I'm so grateful that you did. It's like your garden has a little extension here in Ireland and I'm sure in so many other places too. So even if the new owners do rip it out, it's kind of like its living on 😊

A friend of mine sold her place while her garden was producing (much like yours) and she (in the closing) determined that the new owners were willing to let her harvest the garden. She generously gave them half the harvest in exchange for letting her harvest it. They really didn't know how to harvest or preserve. She helped them learn... and I am sure next year they will be better gardeners because of her help. Good luck, girlie...

In real estate crops are considered emblements which are personal property. When you sell a property you have the right to come in the 1st year and collect them. I wonder if Becky knew that but just didn't want to disturb the new owners. 🤔 or if she didn't know this at all.

I cried because I feel your heart. You actually planted the largest seed of your life there, because the next owner(s) might just start gardening if they had never done so before because of all you are leaving behind.

You share with all of us on here and elsewhere in your life as we just watched. Love you my friend

Myers) to Middle Georgia and the ornamental plants, flowers and trees growing here were all a mystery to me.

@@shannoneg2000 Oh I think that is the Becky way. I find were years apart in age (i'm way older) but she seems to do the same things I myself would many times I've seen which is why I watch her and I would be the type to feel what she felt leaving some behind for the new owners and I would create a map or at least put some markers in the ground where stuff is planted if she herself can remember what is where. I know she has much more to do now in her new place and being pregnant the farther along she gets can't be fun for her being out and pulling weeds, harvesting by herself, etc..though she clearly loves it and wouldn't give it up for anything at this point.

I wish you could’ve potted some of the perennials up as they take longer to establish. But just think by the time you get asparagus at your new place, you’ll probably be potty training the Little One! Get as much done and prepared before baby comes because you won’t have much time after. But imagine the satisfaction of being able to make your own baby food!

My last garden was in Montana, very short growing season. Many, many green tomatoes with first frost imminent. From somewhere, can't remember where, I was told to pull up the entire tomato plant with the green tomatoes and hang them up, roots on the top. The green tomatoes will continue to pull nutrients from the plant and a lot of them will ripen. And you can still enjoy some green tomatoes. I did that and hung them in my pump house for my well. And indeed it worked. Should work in your basement. I love your channel. I enjoy you, such a positive person and so grateful for your blessings.

Becky you have encouraged so many of us all around the world to get into gardening. My journey started in March 2020 at the start of Covid. I have recently started to extend my garden into my front yard in raised corrugated iron garden beds. With spring in Australia it’s all systems go for the season. I have got Tomatillos, jalapeño peppers and ground cherries to play with this year all because of you Becky and watching your joy harvesting your beautiful produce. I also bought Rhubarb from a Rhubarb farm 15minutes from my home today and made two batches of Rhubarb Jam this evening. I will be adding chickens to my backyard in the future I am allowed to have no more than 10, as living in suburbia. But that will be enough.

I got a little teary-eyed when you were talking about what you were going to be doing in the garden and had to pause. It is an emotional journey, thank you for bringing us along. I have learned a lot from you and really enjoy your videos. The next owner is very lucky to get to take over your garden, especially with vegetables still growing! ❤️

My grandmother use to wrap green tomatoes individually in paper and put them in the basement, bring them up 1 at a time to ripen. They definitely kept for a couple months.

You can always communicate with the new owners. If they decide to prune back or take out the raspberry bushes you could ask for some of the clippings, etc. Think everyone is anxious to follow your new journey of developing a new garden. You have a lot of good ideas.

Consider growing lufas in the same garden with your squash and zucchinis, and pumpkins. I have friends who found lufas (they're very smelly) seemed to protect them. This may be just a fluke, but the plants that weren't with them had bugs, the ones with, didn't. As well as nasturiums and marigolds, many people swear by those, too, for keeping bugs away.

Ben Hollar of the YT Hollar Homestead channel made the same observation in their North Carolina garden this summer. It wasn't intentional on their part but the areas that were closest to the luffa trellis/arch were not infested...same veggies in other parts of the garden were the unintentional sacrificial plants.

I hope you gave your agent a grid map of the garden for the new owners. I know you can't give it to them directly but you can certainly go through your agent. Also really good to know if they want to use the figs - and other unripened peppers, asparagus etc. - wouldn't it be great if they could harvest it or they would let you harvest it and donate it to a local food bank. I would hate for that harvest to be ignored. It's a lot of food that many people could use.

I have followed you since your first video, and have loved learning and growing my knowledge of gardening along with you. Quite frankly, I was just looking for meal prep ideas, but I have learned more about gardening, canning and being deliberate in my food choices. As you end this phase and move into a new one filled with at least 1 new family member, a new home and continuing with a busy YT community, I wish you all the very best and I hope you continue to create joy, happiness and success. Thank you for the past 2 years! I cannot wait to see what the future holds--both for you AND us. :-)
