The soccer legend shared a detailed behind-the-scenes look at his gardening skills at the couple's countryside home

David Beckham is in his farmer era!

On Saturday, Sept. 7, the 49-year-old soccer legend shared a detailed look at his growing outdoor garden and farming area — complete with an appearance from his chickens — to Instagram.

The tour, which he uploaded in the form of a lengthy clip that he jokingly refused to shorten at the request of his wife Victoria Beckham, even got a hilarious response out of the fashion designer, 50, when she reposted it on her Instagram Stories.

"Who is this man," she wrote, alongside a bunch of chicken stickers and a crying with laughter Memoji. "Give me my husband back!"

While her husband is certainly there, he just appears to be going all-in on his green-fingered hobby and love for his chickens, months after she gifted them to him for Christmas.

David's detailed video began with him wishing his followers a "good morning" and sharing a quick glimpse of their five chickens as he wore a green plaid shirt and newsboy cap. He then shifted his attention to the garden at the couple's Cotswolds home, including some spring onions, wildflowers, plum trees, kale and cabbage.

"So, not bad," David said in the clip as he walked around his vegetables patches and garden proudly. "And then, we have a lot of potatoes. Today, I actually am going to make some crisps because I'm a savory person, not sweet."

David then took his attention to the "berry area" of his garden, before reminding his followers that they just experienced a "morning update" on his latest farming endeavor.

"My Kale is doing well 😆 I can hear my east end mates going 'He has changed' 😆," David captioned the footage. "My wife said shorten the video down but obviously didn't listen so I'm sorry... My content used to be motorbike's & camping now it's Kale , Honey & flowers for the house 🤔"

And while David admitted he "might have to get back on the road soon" — while sharing a motorcycle emoji — he wrapped his caption with a message to Victoria: "You're welcome for the flowers for the house 🌺."

Victoria may have had some jokes on social media this weekend, but she's largely been supportive of David's love of gardening. Back in June, Victoria posted a video on her Instagram Stories of her husband planting pink roses at one of their properties as she hysterically zoomed in on his butt while he dug around with a shovel.

"OK, so it's just a regular Saturday in the country. David is doing a bit of gardening," Victoria said at the time, before telling him, "You look good!"

Outside of having some fun in the garden together, David also commended Victoria last month during a Bowers & Wilkins event in New York City on Aug. 27, when he raved about her style and credited her for inspiring him to try new looks.

"She always gave me that confidence and, and she still does now, even after 27 years," David said of his wife, who he celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with on July 4. "She still gives me that confidence that, you know, wanting to look good and wanting to feel good."

"She has a huge influence in my style," he later added. "When I put something on, I know from her reaction whether I need to take it off or whether I need to keep it on."
