The fact your dad built it for you. I would never move. ❤️
I love it. I gathered old windows from spring and fall clean ups. Got things from my Grandparents old barns. I laid everything down and planned it out. I’ve been gathering bricks from old dump sights. I got some from a beach. Had an old homestead and bricks laying around. I’ve been sanding and hoping to put together when the snow is gone. For the table. It can be shimmed on one side. Wouldn’t take much to level it. The plastic on the rafters looks find. It’s only temporary till it’s warmer outside. The pitch is perfect. It’s functional and super pretty
Your greenhouse is absolutely gorgeous! Your dad did a fantastic job, and I love that it's completely custom and unique to your farm.
Thank you!!!
You have a beautiful greenhouse! Very generous of your dad to donate his time and expertise to building it. Looks like you have an aspiring gardener helping you out :-)
It’s a gorgeous greenhouse! I’m sure you will spend many hours enjoying your special space!💚🙏💚🙏
Thank you, Sydney!!
Hi! I'm new to your channel but I love it. When I was young my neighbor had several greenhouses and a huge business selling plants and I worked there for 7 years. I'm finally looking into starting mine this year and I was so excited to come across your channel. I know it's been a year now since you posted this video but just in case you haven't started doing it this way yet, she always hardened off her plants by opening up her greenhouses for a few hours every day. It's a lot easier than hauling everything outside every day. Thank you so much for all the tips! I loved working at a greenhouse but starting my own seemed out of reach for me for a long time.
Love your greenhouse! The floors are great. And the memories will be priceless! On the floors not being level, level the table! Maybe? Maybe worth a try. Use pieces of wood, cardboard, etc .
I agree! Definitely need to level the table. Thank you for the suggestion
I can’t tell you how much I love this beautiful greenhouse!! ❤️❤️
Lordy mercy, girl. I hope you have lots of help planting all those babies! Such a beautiful space, and all your seedlings look SO healthy!! Gotta love a man/men who are good at building from scratch!
Oh, and find the beauty in the billowy plastic. Personally, I think it’s rather pretty!
Most of the seedlings are going to a plant sale so I won’t have to plant them thank goodness! And, I agree! Men should know how to use their hands!
@@BerkeleyFarms Oh shoot ... I remember that now. But still ... a lotta work! Wishing you and Jill a profitable plant sale this year that makes all the blood, sweat and tears worthwhile❣️
Love your greenhouse. Just a thought, could you place a short bladed ceiling fan behind your chandelier or another place in the ceiling area in order to push the heat back down & circulate the air. Maybe have it on a timer. 🤷🏻♀️🌱🌱🌼🌻
I think that’s a good idea! Several others have suggested that! We will likely give it a try
Just amazing! ❤️ I am always so impressed with what people can build. And wow, all your seedlings! So impressive! 😊
Thank you ☺️
YOU HAVE DONE WONDERFUL, AND IF I WAS YOU I WOULD NOT MOVE EITHER, YOU ARE BLESSED TO HAVE A FATHER TO BUILD THIS FOR YOU, IT IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!
I drew some inspiration for my greenhouse from yours. My subscribers are chomping at the bit for me to get started on mine. Priorities first unfortunately around here. Your dad did an awesome job!
Yay! Glad it was helpful!
New to your channel. I love this style. Great that your dad was able to do the build for you. Also nice that you were able to get some of the materials free, or at reduced cost. Thanks for answering questions. Many blessings to you and your family.
Thank you, Jim!
I love yours and Jess's(roots and refuge farm) window greenhouses. They are so pretty 😍
Thank you!
Put a ceiling fan hanging from the ridge. They run on 120volt and will keep the air moving
We built our greenhouse from old windows and doors. We build a deck for it and build the greenhouse walls on top of the deck. Not sure which way is better. I’m thinking having ground as the floor will help keep it warm.
I build a high roof window greenhouse too and will build shelves near the roof to start my seeds coz it's hot up there to promote seed germination.
You and your dad did a great job, it's beautiful
Beautiful green house. Your dad did amazing on the green house. My dad help me build thing too.👍Your seeding growing big now. They are looking good. Awesome 👍we live close to the airport too.😜. I would love to have a green house but no space to do one. Awesome video. He is Adorable. See you next time
Thank you! Definitely feel blessed that he built it for me!
Your greenhouse is a work of art! I have a dream to get a similar size greenhouse, but I want to build it off of the side of our house.
Thank you! Love the idea of yours being built off the side of your house!! Very neat
I love your greenhouse! We just built a hoop house greenhouse using a greenhouse plastic and it heats up and holds heat pretty well. Maybe you could try getting a piece of clear greenhouse plastic to put right above your rafters on the inside. You could still see though it to the awesome roof but help hold heat in. Depending on how hot it gets there, you might have to take it down during the summer though cause it might make it too hot then.
Thank you!
You are doing the market garden this season but I’m wondering how much food you will be growing for your family? Will you be doing any videos on preserving food? Do you cook often? Also please grow and do some videos on Kajari melons ....they are sooo awesome.
I am growing for our family. We have a large In ground garden in front of the greenhouse. Planning to do a video on that soon.
Beautiful, great job!
Hello from South West TN. I love your Green House! The front of our house is full of plants. Thanks for your tips. Rhonda
Hey, Rhonda! Thank you for watching and for the kinds words
Your son is funny!! He is the best part of the video!!
What a beautiful greenhouse. I'd love to have something like this someday!
Thank you!!
The plastic above your head looks fine from here.....some puffy clouds ;) Curiosity question, how many windows are there?
Maybe you could build a few long trays with handles that would fit four or five of the 10/20 trays (I think that's what you called them) in order to get them outside for hardening off.
A BEAUTIFUL GREENHOUSE! Thank you for sharing.
Interesting. I'm in the collection process for windows and materials. You don't like the plastic over your rafters. When I first saw the video I thought they were sheets of material purposely placed for aesthetics. It looks very nice to me, at least in the video.
Look into a LP gas space heater I heat my workshop with one made by Empire, direct vent right straight out the wall. Has a 120v fan to blow the heat around.
We were actually thinking about goin leg with that but concerned we’d be blowing through quite a bit of propane. How much do you use yours and how much propane does it use?
@@BerkeleyFarms There are three different heaters so I'm sorry I don't have an individual usage on each. My application is a workshop/garage under a living space. Nothing like the usage you would see. Have your local LP supplier come and do the numbers for you.
I’m about to follow the video to make our greenhouse. Two early questions. I can’t tell from the foundation video if Tim filled the first course of cinder blocks with concrete. And, did he lay them on bare ground or stone before leveling? Would an inch or so of paver sand make leveling that course any easier?
LOVE it!
Did you ever find out how high it is from the rafters to the roof? Would you know the pitch?
If you don't do the giant tray, you could also build/buy a cart of some sort. The tray is a super good idea though.
Good idea. Maybe put wheels on the centre table. Or swap it for a trolley table and keep it outside to put the acclimating starts on. 👍🏻
Great idea! Thank you!
@@amandar7719 I like that idea too!
Some newer windows (glass) have UV coating so it won’t allow the necessary light to reach plants to create the food they need.
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Missing your videos❤
It would be cool if you could put ROLLERS OR WHEELS on your tables. I have a lot of my seeds on a gorilla cart. It works great.
Great idea!!
Gorgeous greenhouse ❤
Did you stain or paint the greenhouse? It’s beautiful ❤️
Child Vanishes at 8:24....lol
😂😂😂
Lol I’m moving to Arkansas can’t wait to do this
So fun!
Love it!
Wow, Lauren flipped a switch (8:27) and people disappeared. So Thanos.
No need for treated lumber if you paint it! So good choice.
Very nice
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Along tray to lift? Why not a long table on wheels
Good ideas! We need to look into that.
That's a bunch of plant babies!
Yes it is! And they are requiring a lot of attention 😥😂
Need upper Fans maybe
To push the heat down? We have been considering that!
He wants attention kids are that way😊
He does love attention 🥰
