First HUGE Harvest and Preservation Day of the Season!

I love your videos Becky 💗

You could make sofrito with the cilantro and freeze it in cubes too! (Onion, bell pepper, garlic and cilantro). You could probably sub the garlic with the garlic scapes too.

Sort of surprised there is no mention of early summer berries!

Having just potted my first garlic, the lesson for scape harvesting was super interesting.

Also, I can honestly say thanks to Becky for sharing the idea of preserving herb using a freeze method. Truly inspiring as is almost always the case…

Best wishes!

We just love spending time with you! I love watching your garden, trying recipes, and getting to watch you do the things I’m getting a little too old to do much anymore. LOL you really should have your own show!

I had never seen garlic scapes before watching you garden. Last week I went to a new farmer’s market by me and they had garlic scapes. I was so excited. I cooked them up with bok choy and the beet leaves. So delicious.

do you plant both hard and soft neck garlic? which one do you freeze and which ones do you freeze dry into powders? just wondering….
also there was a really tall scape that looked like it had the makings of a flower bulb, did you or would you harvest that or let it flower???
what does adding the 'status'(sp?) flower do by braiding it into the soft garlic???

It might be easier if you place your cilantro in the strainer part of your spinner, place the strainer in the outer bowl, wash it in the water, then lift it out, empty the outer bowl and last, place strainer back in the empty bowl and spin. Cheers

Your cilantro! I can't get it to grow here in Nj – i have tried sun and shade but it won't grow for me- any tips?

Hi Becky, regarding the slugs in the garden, I read that diluted coffee, one part fresh espresso to five parts water, will kill them as caffeine kills slugs and snails but doesn't harm the plants.

Slugs and other insects love beer.!

Love watching you harvest your herbs and the flowers you grew. The bouquet is beautiful! I love having fresh flowers in the house!!

Great Harvest Becky! You are so talented!

Baking soda is good for getting rid of slugs

So enjoy seeing your wonderful garden! Vegetable Gardening in Tucson during the summer is a challenge! Not only the heat, but the cost of water… I got ONE yellow crookneck squash! It was about 5 inches long, and a bird had pecked it in two places! My husband says…”You know we can buy these at the store, they aren’t that expensive….” I am seriously thinking of only doing a winter garden. Things are much easier to grow in the winter here. I’ll just keep my herbs alive. Once we get in the high 90’s everything in the herb garden has to be under shade cloth to stay alive! We will now have 100+ degrees until probably mid September!

You keep talking about the slugs. Don't you use anything to kill the slugs? I really just started watching you. Some of your old and most of your new.

Hi! Does anyone know if you can use Himalayan sea salt for canning? I can’t stand redmonds reel salt. Thanks in advance:)

Very encouraging!

This season is just whizzing by, I can’t believe you’re already able to harvest some. Thanks for sharing, Becky!

Been washing, chopping and freezing Cilantro for years now, as I use a lot of it when cooking. Best way to stock up.

Your cilantro…girl!! Beautiful harvest! Cilantro is rather tricky to grow where I live; (southern Georgia). I tend to have more luck with spring plants in our long fall. It just heats up way too fast here!❤

Hi Becky I learned something new today. About freezing and freeze drying herbs thank you Becky I really appreciate you and your channel. God bless you and your family.
