Happy holidays!!! I ordered so many seeds from you and I'm so satisfied. I look forward to my winter garden which I've already sowed seeds, many of which I bought from your shop.

I was sure that this storm was finally going to finish off my huge healthy kale plants – but Luke is saying they might survive?!?! Now I'm going to have to go out and check (maybe Christmas morning!)
This was a great episode! I had been thinking about trying to grow things over winter in my window, but a cold frame sounds like a great idea!
Awesome!! This is exactly what I wanted. ๐โโญ๏ธโฅ๏ธ Thank you!! ๐๐ฝ
Do you ever heat your greenhouse?
How did your greenhouse hold up with the storm we just got
Well, I can testify that my greens and brassicas were just fine until the bomb cyclone 40-50mph winds wouldnt let my plants stay covered outdoors. Just the 20's already made mush of my new tree kale. Who knows what tomorrow holds after 12 overnight. Red romaine was double covered in greenstalk in a hexagon small greenhouse which before dark was already torn to shreds. Im crushed.
That's amazing, I remember how brutal Wisconsin and Michigan winters are. It surprises me that a green house would even be effective. Of course I was driving in the upper part over the bridge and the views were incredible.
What?? In summer once per week? I live in a very arid Zone 5 climate with between 10 to 20 inches of total annual precipitation, and a good amount of that arrives as winter snow. Plus a lot of that can be lost due to evaporation in Chinook winds. Relative Humidity is typically between 10% to 50%. At 5,000 feet elevation, the sun's illuminance is also higher due thinner atmosphere. In summer, my plants simply won't survive the midday heat unless I water every day, early in the morning.
I am growing a small scale winter crop of leafy plants indoors. And this week we're seeing outdoor temps of โ 20ยฐF at night. I do not believe I can succeed with fruiting vegetables under my grow lights, their light needs are just too much. I am working with succession planting schedules for spinach and lettuce and just learning how to adjust for that. Hopefully, as we get closer to spring, I can take advantage of some cold frames, outdoors and get some early starts put in.
Thanks for making these useful videos๐ you've inspiring me to start my own gardening channel! ๐๐๐
Thanks for the great information.
๐Merry Christmas!
Ever tried using net pots? I am currently growing in a large square net pot a bunch of radishes.
I line the net pot with saran cloth to keep the soil from washing out when I water. Today I pulled out one of the young radishes. Very nice, not bitter but sweet!! Will have to see if the leaves are as sweet too!!

Hi Luke, so glad you are enjoying your greenhouse. I was wondering about the other land you bought for greenhouses and farmers market? You have not mentioned it for a while. I know you were waiting on permits the last time I heard you mention it, just wondering how that is going?
A big bonus you forgot to mention is that there's a whole lot less pests at this time of year.
My dad forced bulbs in the winter. He watered them with snow. They could take the amount of water they needed and the snow insulated them, so that the water they took did not freeze.
