    How could such a beautiful treasure be abandoned and neglected for so long ???
    That’s my lifelong dream ❤

    A BIG thank you to all of you at C House for taking us along on your beautiful journey and family fun. I truly appreciate the tidbits you all share. Bless your souls for all the things you have going at one time. Restoring this old greenhouse is going to be a GIANT process, but will be so stunning, gorgeous and rewarding in the end. You are also finding so many things you are able to recycle and reuse today. What a BIG cost savings that will be. I wish you all the best along this endeavor. I hope you feel better soon too.

    The deep shelves on the side that you commented had gravel in it, would have likely been filled with coarse sand and warming cables used as heated propagating beds. My grandad had the same arrangement in his greenhouse from the 50s. They were set to a thermostat on the wall. 🌱

    • @crowleyhouseflowerfarm

      Interesting! It’s so cool to learn about how things were done in the past!

    Love this. I'm going to build a greenhouse this spring. I'm using old windows and may get some ideas from your old greenhouse. I'm already going steal the idea of the old brackets for the shelves. This is going to be fun to watch.

    • @crowleyhouseflowerfarm
      @crowleyhouseflowerfarm  21 день тому

      Oh, ya! Please steal the bracket idea, I'm sure its going to be lovely when all done. Thanks for tagging along.

      Its been a fun project for sure and having my kids with me and hubby has just been the best. Brayden does all the editing and just does a fantastic job.

    The tray against the window was used as a humidifier. Lined with plastic, an inch of gravel, fill to top of the rocks, and the sun. You set your potted plants that needed a little more humidity were placed there.

    First time watching, would love a greenhouse like that. And I would rather have something old to redo than anything new. My husband framed off a section of our back porch, put up marine grade clear plastic , shelves and a table… instant greenhouse that works really well. I am loving it even if it is small. Can’t wait to see the finished project ❤

    • @crowleyhouseflowerfarm

      Hello Donna, I to would love to get my greenhouse built this year. My sister gave me about 10 plus new in the box replacement windows that were made incorrect for their home TWICE!
      I retired last October, and now is the time to get it built!! Best wishes for you in getting a greenhouse of your own.

    You have certainly had a lot of rain! Nice greenhouse. Maybe replacing roof with polycarbonate glass might be good. It will be nice to get it up and running again. Well done. Soup looks good Jason!

    • @crowleyhouseflowerfarm
      @crowleyhouseflowerfarm  21 день тому +1

    Oh Beth I know how you feel, Ive had a sinus and ear infection which just makes you feel horrible. Right on top of Christmas and a heat wave here….until today. Im watching your video and its just on midnight “Happy New Year” and after 3 months of no rain today it has been overcast and has finally been raining for the last 5 hours lightly, our flowers and vegetables have so desperately needed some rain. I can hear the fire works coming from in town as I write this and my hope for 2025 is a bountiful garden full of bigger blooms. So many things to do for the rest of summer here, some sales would help us to get further into our journey. We are currently renovating a little tiny house cottage on our property to hopefully open before the end of January for farm stays here with us. Today Ive planted out my 3rd succession of zinnias including more floret, Ive also had some of my mandarin cosmos form seed so Ive sprinkled some into trays in the high tunnel and see if they germinate, not suitable for the cutting garden but will make beautiful pops of vibrant colour in our parking area out the front of the strawberry and flower farm. I am going to love watching you transform your 1950’s little greenhouse shed, Ive just finished watching your video on wrapping market bouquets again to improve my technique for our farm stand, bouquet bars and possibly markets on a Sunday until the end of April when everything here will start going to sleep for the autumn and winter. It’s time for me to climb into bed. I hope you feel better soon. Cheers Theresa - Australia

    • @crowleyhouseflowerfarm
      @crowleyhouseflowerfarm  21 день тому +1

      Happy New Year my friend, I do hope the rain stayed for some time. Keep at the sales, they always come in waves I find. Good luck with the garden and the cottage, I'm sure its stunning!

    Old 100 watt light bulbs would have generated just a bit of heat. Years ago, we used to leave one on in our old laundry room when temperatures dropped.

    Beth you and your family have been really very busy these past many months. All of you keep yourselves healthy. I will say that this project with the greenhouse has me so excited. I can see the possibilities of this space. I honestly can say I wish I was closer to you as I would be volunteering myself to give you a had! lol! Believe it or not but you are really blessed to have all these buildings here or there that have so much potential. Yesterday here in NE Indiana was beautiful. It was sunny and in the 50's and I was out until it got dark. My body definitely felt the joy, lol! Today it's in the 50's but it is windy and rainy, but that too is nice. Take care of yourself and have a wonderful week, Btw how did Braedon's ducks do with the transition to a different space?

    • @crowleyhouseflowerfarm
      @crowleyhouseflowerfarm  21 день тому +1

      happy New Year Debra! yes we have been very busy and life is very full. I am exited about this project and others we have planned for this year. Brayden is learning more about garden and wants to do a few projects on his own, so it should be an exiting year here on the channel. all the best to you my friend!

    First time watcher, I've subbed and think this is an awesome winter project and think it will be an amazing space to grow starts in. I love the idea of planting a citrus tree in the ground....
    Is that a Garden Answer kneeling g pad? I would love one but living in sub tropical Australia the postage would probably be about $80 and let's not discuss the exchange rates.... lol

    • @cynthiarafferty7662
      @cynthiarafferty7662 Місяць тому +1

      It sure does look like a Garden Answer kneeling pad. I've got one in pink. From Georgia, USA

      @crowleyhouseflowerfarm  21 день тому

      Well welcome! We love our Australia folks that tag along with us each week. We have a video a few years back when Riley went and did a few events/ wedding there with Emma her cousin. Such beautiful country, some day Ill go as well. Yes its a Garden Answer pad, and yes shipping would probably be outrageous for you!

  • @linditty169
    @linditty169 Місяць тому

    This is a project and I would love to dig in and help you as I love gardening projects. I did notice you had a Garden Answer kneeling pad in the color red. I purchased a few this year for gifts and me. I have a glass greenhouse only 6X10 and right now it has bubble wrap inside for heat. Although glass looks great it’s not the best for our PNW weather. We live in Puyallup, where are you guys?

      This has been such a fun project and yes don't you just love the Garden Answer kneeling pad! Bubble wrap works great, I've used that before as well. The Orchard Hight's project house is in west Salem and our Crowley House is outside Rickreall.
