Hello welcome to Yellow door Urban Homestead I am a and I’m an Urban Gardener growing in a small space out in my backyard and today we have got to get the greenhouse under control uh it’s got a lot going on in it like we need to

Clean it up we’re also going to put up a garden bed that we got from vivor AR raised garden bed which I’m excited about uh because like I said this year I’m switching this into a growing space as opposed to a seed starting space because we have the other Greenhouse so

Like all of this we got to get that straightened up and this is where we’re going to put the other garden bed um you just saw me clean this one out and we’re going to amend that one as well we are keeping our seating area because I

Absolutely want a area to come and sit we’re also going to start some tomato seeds today I am a few days behind I should have done it Wednesday but I did not get that done um we’re probably going to clean these out too I had strawberries in them sorry about the dog

Barking in all of the noise I live in the urban setting um and my hair it is going to blow up while I’m out here because it’s been raining and it’s very moist and I am natural so that is going to blow up but we are going to oh I forgot I had

This thing it’s a thermometer anywh who we’re going to get started y’all I think we’re going to put the bed up first I really do want to put some of the uh weed barrier down from Vore that I have too CU I have a lot of

That left but we kind of got to move some of this stuff out first to see what we’re even working with and I’m not very good at like deciding on sizes from like seeing width and length and all that stuff so I also don’t know how big this

Bed is going to be but my plan is to put it over on this side okay I went and found some boxes because I need these for I’m going to I I don’t want to put the weed barrier under uh the garden bed I want to put boxes under the garden bed

So that they will break down on their own so I went and found some boxes in the house from the things that we have purchased um and we’re going to put this under the garden bed so I want to get this laid really quick and this is kind

Of how I do all my garden bads when I put them down I put a cardboard under them so that ow SHO and it’s bleeding so when people ask how do I garden with nails I just garden and when things like that happen it just happens but I’ll be right back

Cuz I got to go take care of this okay so I’m back and I fixed my finger but I want to show y’all something um if you remember I had the shelves right here and it had a whole bunch of seeds from um seed pods from last year that I was

Supposed to save to grow later but let me show you something look at all of these volunteer brasas they are everywhere that’s a patch of weeds but all of these are brassas where the seeds just sprouted because they fell down and no I’m not going to try to save any of

Them I’m going to uh I’m going put this this uh cardboard down and we going to get the rolling okay so like I said I’m going to put the cardboard down now one thing that I may have to do because I’m not sure how big this bed is going to be

Where I have the bricks that’s holding down the uh green house my dog went through this she is a mess I may have to turn this outward and put the bricks on the outside we’ll see once we get the garden bed put up again this is a garden

Bed from vivor and there will be a link and there will be a discount code all of that will be down in the description box um but vivor great company been working with them for a while great product so if you are interested make sure you check out the link

Below it was so funny how that happened I literally was like what is all of these weeds and then I said those are not weeds those are brassas what kind of brass CU I have no idea I had all kinds of seed pods in here that I was saving

And I was supposed to you know come back and save them and I didn’t all right so let’s get to unboxing see here I’m very excited to have another garden bed because I really was saying like I want to grow in this space this year I still don’t know what

I’m going to grow in it if y’all have any suggestions let me know cuz we still have the other bed that uh they gave me last year that we’re going to need to plant too I was thinking of trying to grow some more tomatoes in here uh maybe

Some peppers I’m not sure some pretty flowers maybe I’m also probably going to lose the rug um I was thinking of putting it under the table instead of like having it as where you walk in cuz I don’t know how big this bed going to be like I said

Earlier and several times now y’all probably like girl we already heard you say that anyway oh got my stool in here I plan on using that that’s from home and garden Trends oh okay this is to go across the top of course more gloves and little tools and

Some labels so that’s cool um I got black don’t know why I got black cuz it doesn’t match black is my favorite color to wear uh but didn’t have purple so my next my next favorite color quite a few pieces to this we we probably going to have to use the directions this

Time Lots of nuts and bolts lots of nuts and bolts oh wow oh oh wow and of course the manual if the heaviness tells me about the sturdiness then this is going to be a very sturdy bed now now I’m going to tell you something I’m excited about and I know

That when they put that that plastic film on there that is to protect it and it did come in plastic but I’m super excited that that plastic was not attached to this metal that’s one of the parts I hate the most about putting up these garden beds I love having these

Raised garden beds but pulling that plastic off I absolutely hate it cuz if you are not new here you know I like to do everything as quick as possible and being able to just pull this plastic off like this I love it M they now this it

Is a lot of plastic uh but either way it was going to have plastic on it and this was much easier than having to pull that that film off well I spoke too soon it does have the plastic on it I hate it y’all I hate it so

Much am I the only one who hates it so much so I I was wrong there is plastic on it I mean still it’s good for protection I I just hate it so bad if you get a good piece and it pulls all the way off great if you don’t oh my

God I’m sure there’s plastic left on some of my garden beds cuz I just cannot I cannot well I see y’all see y’all in a few once I get all of this plastic off of this g B fits perfectly it’s going to fit perfectly in the space you needed four and then you have the other four that goes right here so it’ll fit perfect I have a little bit of walkway pretty excited so this is actually a huge garden bed y’all we are not going to use

Both sides because if we did it would be this wide I don’t have so we only going to put one side up you know for the ends and I was thinking I could also make it a little bit shorter but I think I’m going to leave it the length that it is

But not as wide as it is and it’s much taller than I expected it to be to so we probably going to have to go get some more soil which is bad and actually if I knew it was this tall I would have tried to

Find things to put at the bottom of it and actually I take that back my son just red leaves and things out the front yard so I may I’m probably going to fill the bottom of it with leaves so that I don’t have to go buy any more soil and

It will settle but if I’m lucky I’ll take care of my compost P this year and we won’t have to worry about it when it’s time to uh fill it back up from from it settling but I’m pretty sure that’s going to be my situation today my

Son couldn’t break the leaves at a better time I will say a lot of them came off in one piece so that’s okay this one is not this one is not coming off in one piece y’all but I only have one left to pull apart well to pull this

Plastic off after this so so that’s cool yeah that’s sitting here uni for me that’ll Work Y had to list to help a friend but we got it got it together she putting in the last few ones and then we going to start filling it I’m going go get yeah on that side that’s it um I’m going to go get the leaves and stuff from out the

Front I will be back all right so I got got some of the leave bags and we are just going to dump it dump it in which will fill up the bottom um again it’ll break down over time and the soil will end up settling but it’s a

Good way to fill it without uh having to use a bunch of soil you can also of course do like sticks and things I don’t have any but I have plenty bags pleas such a waste of my bags I definitely did not have to pull

It like that but but I’m getting tired I untied it but I didn’t I’ll be back are we recording we are got More great way to re use your waist well your lawn Waist we need more so muddy out here today cuz it’s been raining these are my last two bags so that’s all I got oh and I decided not to use uh the all the pieces cuz I wanted to have space to get over to my table where I

Plan to start seeds and all of that stuff up pot them and all of that so that’s why now we got some Kellogg’s organic uh garden bed soil that we’re going to put in here and then we have some compost that I got from Home Depot because I didn’t feel

Like going to load we all know I like flat tow U but Home Depot doesn’t sell it in my area Lowe’s does but I want to go to Lowe’s so we trying we’re trying something Different we got four bags of This This is the compost I’m going to Use and now we are ready to plant all right y’all so we finished the greenhouse I did it by myself cuz I was just tired and ready to uh get this done and then tomorrow I want to make sure that I get my tomatoes planted and I

Might do it tonight I don’t know if I do I record it anyway let me show y’all the new Greenhouse don’t you just love it and it’s not a new Greenhouse it’s just a redone Greenhouse so this uh shelf kept falling over in the other Greenhouse so

I brought it back over here there were a bunch of ants just like last year in my containers that I plant in so I figure if I put them on the Shelf then maybe just maybe the ants won’t keep coming to it so we will see we still have the

Ability to have our seating area so I’m excited about that everything that was under the table is now over here or in the trash we’ve cleaned off the top of the table and then I have my home and garden Trend stool so I can sit here and

Do what I need to do and of course the beautiful new garden bed from vivor so that was my plans for the day was to make sure I got this greenhouse cleaned out get that garden bed up because it’s going to be time for planting soon and I’m excited about that He

  1. I leave the plastic on. I figure it will keep the metal from rusting do fast & keep them looking nice.
    You can put all of the unfinished compost in the bottom of the bed with the leaves to help fill it. It will decompose & feed the plants at the same time. Then you can start the compost new. All free, no extra spending.

  2. hi asia 🤗
    you look like a very dedicated and successful gardener and homesteader … beautiful 😊
    you're definitely putting in the work this spring.
    i have wooden and garden wall raised beds. when they degrade to the point i can't use them, im considering replacing with metal.
    your hard work shows. can't wait to see what you grow in the new (updated) greenhouse. tfs

  3. Nice job, looks great! Take care of your finger.
    What sz is your greenhouse, bc it looks like you have a lot of room.

  4. Hey Queen, i just discovered ur channel today thru Exploring Alternative and you inspired me a lot. This has been my dream and thanks for sharing with us . Please how many acres/size of land did you start with? I would be glad for ur reply. Greetings to you from Ghana 🇬🇭…

  5. It's 33° where I am. The sun is shining. I'm keeping a close watch on my indoor starts🧐- save those brassicas😂

  6. You know what Asia? I've been watching you for a while now and I gotta tell you, I adore you! You have such confidence, some sassy and a will do attitude!
    Thank you for being such an example of the capable, driven truthful woman.
    Meridith

  7. I just love your videos & who you are as a human being. You're a great role model not only for your children but for all of humanity!! I love that you dont stress about stuff & just enjoy it, I aspire to be like that one day. Green house looks amazing 👏. Happy growing!💚🌻

  8. That’s my girl. Put all that garden waste goodness in there. And you’re not only trying something different, but better than blk kow👍.

  9. We had a tool shed with all that plastic on each piece. 🤬🤦🏽‍♀️ my fingers were raw peeling it off.

    Awesome use of the greenhouse! I’m also moving to use it as a growing space. ❤ thanks for sharing!

  10. Happy Sunday Asia from my channel to yours! The revamp of the greenhouse looks good. U may can put some tule over that window Puppy jumped through. Can’t wait to see what you grow! Happy gardening everyone!!!

  11. Asia, I think I remember a vlog from last season that you mentioned you do not harden off plants that have been growing in the greenhouse. Is that right? This is my first spring with a greenhouse. Do you worry about sun scald on tomatoes/peppers or does it take care of itself in the greenhouse?

  12. Hello! I have 4 of those beds and 5 more different sizes. With the left over pieces, make a smaller square bed for potatoes or root crops. Really anything. You said you had a lot of weed barrier left, you should do that whole floor of the green house. I have started some planting but doesn't feel real until I get tomatoes and peppers out.😂

  13. Hello Asia, love your utube channel I too plant most of all trees, shrubs and flowers and some vegetables and herb. What area are you in or zone.

  14. Happy Sunday Asia🖐🏾😁good to see you today. Loving your “natural look”. Sorry you ouched your finger🤕

  15. You did a great job getting your Greenhouse all cleaned up and organized. Love your new Vevor raised bed. Looking forward to see what you plant in it. Be Blessed and Happy Growing Asia🙏🏾😊🥬🍎 Ms J and Sophie

  16. I've missed a couple vlogs you made so now I know better to click on your name regularly. You tube was not showing you up in my feed. The good part is I get to watch you some more. Blessings

  17. i bought 4 8x4x1.5 beds from amazon from a randon company , and i put the plastic side on the inside and i didnt peel not one piece, i have other beds that i didnt even realize had plastic on it needless to say i didnt peel those either 😆 im with you with not liking to peel plastic off metal sheeting.

  18. Girl, I leave plastic on everything to preserve the newness with the exception of furniture. Everybody always ask why do I have plastic on certain things. I would hd kept that plastic on it until it started peeling off itself.

  19. Ms Asia Darlin I went there and did it. Strawberries, string beans, squash. Destroyed all of my perennials. Not giving up. Wish I could send you pics. What a lovely day. Thanks😅

  20. Girl, you walked into your greenhouse and I started screaming! Why did I never think to roll the door up on the inside?? That’s so smart! Like truly the smartest thing I’ve seen from any gardening video in a long stupid time! 😂 I always rolled up on the outside and collects all that dirty moldy rainwater and when you need to let it down it’s a mess. You’re so smart. I love you. ❤

  21. We have soooo many trees and leaves in our yard and for years I would complain about cleaning them up and trying to figure out what to do with them. Now I use them as fillers, for mulch and other things. Nature has a way of giving you what you need!!!!

  22. Girl, I had raked 2 giant bags of leaves about 2 weeks ago for this exact purpose….my lovely spouse put them on the trash truck today lol… I threw out my back for nothing. 🥲

  23. I just bough 4 vevor garden beds from Lowes. I'm so excited to start getting them planted up with veggies. Watching this video gets me even more excited. I cant wait till they get delivered. They are coming Monday. Imma try not to call out of work for this.😅😅

  24. Hi Asia! I saw a great recommendation, using pine cones to economically fill pots and raised beds. I hope this helps you save some money and time!
