No surprise here. With such a beautiful , perfectly tidy garden , we new you had all that "stuff" under control. So nice to have a place for everything and everything in its' place. Ahhhhhhhh. : )
Well thought out. I find a lot of people give up before they start because they can't over come these types of hurdles. Hopefully they will watch vid's like this and take heart.
Great ideas! Our yard is also small. We store some things between our back deck and the fence. We also store some things under our back deck. Our deck is enclosed with lattice but we made a secret entrance. ;). - Amanda
Hi Patrick I love your gardening videos, especially in regards to the edible perennials, and maximizing garden space! What I would love to see is a detailed garden overview - showing where North is in regards to your garden, how you planned it, what you planted with what etc. Perhaps just a drawing of your layout and whats all in your garden? Maybe even a whole house layout showing what you grow in the front yard too! Keep up the great work and the informative videos! Thank you
Vertical storage is just as efficient as vertical gardening. Bungee cords for the pvc is amazing. Still having cool night's here - last frost date is end of May - but I'm planting potatoes today. I've noticed my soil in the raised beds that has been protected by mulch for 2 winters is significantly easier to plant in than the soil that just has 1 winter of protection. Can hardly wait to see how it is with red wigglers in it too.
Hi patrick. The covered flowerbeds were hiding surprises! First time I see so much organization! We say that some jobs are looking for a way and no trouble. Well done!
I don't need cold frames in Tacoma but I still found the vlog interesting Patrick, I have been planting tomatoes out now that the nights are staying in the upper 40's and only have a few more to go--there is a light at the end of the tunnel, LOL.
Since I am making some cold frames this year, its nice to think about having them nest together. its good to have that in mind before starting the project, instead of during or after the project... I might have gone and made them all the same size...
Thanks for sharing this information. I need to get the plastic for my hoop houses out of my greenhouse ASAP. I was going to store it there, but your video reminded me of how hot my greenhouse gets in the summer (over 110 degrees F). Thanks again for sharing this video. Happy Gardening!☺️
I like your fence storage and for storing plastic in the basement. I do not have to use hoop houses or cold frames and thing I have to store my pool cover. I use my covered patio to grow plants that require shade and use an apricot tree for spring and summer shade for other plants.
Thanks so much. You've caught me so much. I'm way behind on planting.I've got all pots. In and some greens. But I've got small 3' green houses. I think I'll leave them out for winter crops. But I'll add some silver plastic for more sun in winter.
OYR Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening no problem I absolutely love it! man we need to get more people on board with Urban gardening with every kind of gardening that there possibly is that sustainable that's not monoculture that just stops using chemicals and making these curb appeal lawn houses I think food growing should be mandatory and you've done yours just so adorable I had hundreds of Windows and so much collectible things to make my greenhouses and my garden in general enough for a very good hunk of property and I had it all taken away from me. and so right now I'm living vicariously through people like you and I think you're doing a really great job and I would be really proud of I was you! I gardened from the minute I could crawl in the dirt behind my mom and pick the seeds out that she just put in. she wasn't one to know Latin names much but man did she know how to garden and she taught me and I don't always know proper names of things or a lot of things that God would know. but it's just almost like instinct now in my well over 50 years on this planet. you know maybe it is an instinct?! some people just have it more in them than others but I still think it should be mandatory that all the trees on the streets are fruit trees and that all the grass faces for the most part are Gardens and of course we have to have some places for sitting but we don't need as much long as we do. Alright it's very early in the morning here I'm on the west coast and I still haven't fallen asleep I've had some little nod off so I need to and I have a tendency to ramble using voice to text like I am when I wake up. so I should stop now. I'm glad I found you I think I might have had you in the Bell wasn't rung properly
Very Clever! Repeat watching of your videos has finally convinced Mark to build me a copycat of your 'greenhouse' if you will. This video about storing of supplies will be the clincher. THANK YOU for this video! It's going to help me keep growing on all winter! Here's to amazing harvests Patrick, Mrs. Dolan and of course, Oscar!
Nice, I've been wondering how you handled that stuff. I'll be figuring out how to deal with some of my stuff , not looking forward to it...lol. as always thanks for sharing
You must have filmed during Oscar's nap time ;-) Looks good! It is exciting to put away the last of the winter stuff! I had my husband build me a tall trellis for my pole beans this morning. It is warm enough for me to plant those now.
Just rewatching this for inspiration as we've expanded our growing space a bit and I'm looking at adding some of the hinged low tunnels. Curious as to how you store the hinged low tunnels off-season?
Patrick, I remember that you have trellises in summer. Where do you store those in winter? I remove the hoops over my 2 by 1 meter garden beds when it is warm enough and replace them with trellises to facilitate vertical growing. I store my trellises besides my house in winter. How do you do that?
I meant to show our trellises but I forgot. They're also attached to the fence with bungee cords. I have them all stacked on top of each other on the fence and they take up very little space.
Great ideas for storage. Was wondering if the fence is shared with your neighbor. And does the extra weight of hanging all these cold frames damage or pull on the fence supports?
Hi!! Thanks for your great videos! I'm not sure where to post this question, but do you have any experience with invasive plants or serious weed control? I'd love to know more about this as we have a major Chinese lantern problem.
The easiest way is to put cold frames or low tunnels inside of a greenhouse or hoop house. This video shows how I built our hoop house (with cold frames and low tunnels inside): ua-cam.com/video/4_yga1KPA5M/v-deo.html This video shows how I built our double layered hinged low tunnels: ua-cam.com/video/1qwyFEmTsmM/v-deo.html
I keep my plastic connected to my hoop frame and hang them on the wall in my shed. the cold frame idea you have is really smart. I always found they took up to much space in my shed so I'm gonna do what yo done. thanks.
Thank you for this video. Only question is does does taking plastic off of covers and reinstalling add holes to cover and weak points for tears or air leaks. Unless you get same cover on the same bed in exact spot each year. Im not as skilled at orginization (a work in progress) as you, however i am modeling your methods to fit my needs and have learned alot from your chanel. Thank you!!!
Thanks! I buy a few different dimensions, but bought 16' x 25' for the hoop house. www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/4-year-greenhouse-film/6-mil-polyethylene-film
Awesome plan. I am looking to build some cold frames this summer for use in the fall. Thanks for sharing. Have been following you for quite a while. I enjoy your videos!

I love that cat! He always tries to make an appearance
Oscar is a pro. I didn't even know he was in the clip when he climbed the stair railing until I edited the video.
Hanging things on the fence is a great idea.
Thanks Jennifer!
Great ideas! Our yard is also small. We store some things between our back deck and the fence. We also store some things under our back deck. Our deck is enclosed with lattice but we made a secret entrance. ;). - Amanda
Thanks Amanda! Decks are a great place to tuck away garden supplies when they're not in use.
Gotta love the bungee cords and my favorite the Velcro straps. Awesome mad organizational skills Patrick! 😆
Thanks! Ah, yes, velcro is another favorite.
Love how you stay so organized...Have a great day..
Thanks!
I love the simplicity of your organization!
Thanks!
I love this channel!
Thanks!
The cold frame hack blew my mind!!!
Thanks Ali!
On top of it, good job,...and already lots of plants growing👍 ..hugs to you and Oscar.
Thanks Rebecca!

Absolutely thumbs up! Loved how you hung the cold frames!
Thanks!
What a great way to use up empty space along the fences! Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Thanks Jacob!
Signed In just to give you a thumbs up. Very enjoyable. Sincere appreciation. m.

Thanks Valerie! Yeah, mulch really helps make the soil nice and soft. Happy potato planting!
Great idea with the cold frames Patrick. Looking forward to watching your garden turn into your jungle this year :)
Thanks Steve! I'm setting up a timelapse camera tomorrow to capture the transition to jungle.
Thank you! I've often wondered where all that stuff goes in the summertime. Great ideas for fence storage...I'll have to talk to my hubby about that.
Thanks Lori!
Excellent Patrick.Many just like doing the "good stuff")))
Thanks!
Thanku
You're welcome!
Those hanging cold frames look ideal for strawberry trays.
Great idea!
Some really useful ideas there, as the owner of UK's messiest allotment you've given me some good ideas for storing my detritus.
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful.
Love these simple systems you use!!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Organized!!! I love it!
Thanks Celeste!
I love how organized this is! Lol you make it look so easy
Thanks!
All the camera angles & editing must take a lot of time. Thank you so much for what you do.
My pleasure!
Hi patrick. The covered flowerbeds were hiding surprises! First time I see so much organization! We say that some jobs are looking for a way and no trouble. Well done!
Thanks Lamprine! Yeah, the covers really helped get us off to an early start this spring.
That’s a great idea. Everything is out of the way.
Thanks Maria!

Thanks! Sounds like we have similar night temperatures at the moment.
Thanks for sharing and I now know what I want to do with our pvc pipe that we hang shade cloth on after the summer heat in AZ.
You're welcome, Daniel! I'm glad it was helpful.
Great video! It's always important to stay organized!
Thanks Crystal!
Since I am making some cold frames this year, its nice to think about having them nest together. its good to have that in mind before starting the project, instead of during or after the project... I might have gone and made them all the same size...
Yeah, it really helps to be able to nest them. I didn't plan it, though. I just happened to find a lot of different sized tops.
Simple systems! Love it
Thanks!

You're welcome, Betty! I'm glad my videos have helped.
that's a great storage system

Nice! I am getting more ideas on how to keep my garden more organized :)
Thanks Sunil!
Excellent info
Thanks John!
Great video
Thanks!
Great video!
Thanks Malika!
Oscar's trying to get a little sun every thing looks good no damaged plants.
Thanks Annie! That's Oscar's favorite spot when it gets a little warmer.
Super helpful information!

Thanks Hope! I'm glad Mark has been persuaded.
I always wondered where you stored those things :)
Patrick, thank you so much for this video. I have often wondered where you put everything. Have a great today! Catherine
You're welcome, Catherine!
Useful tips, especially for those who hope to have a greenhouse in the future.
Thanks!
Of course, I'm trying to turn 10K square feet worth of overgrown field into a garden, which is not easy, when one has next to nothing.
Nice, I've been wondering how you handled that stuff. I'll be figuring out how to deal with some of my stuff , not looking forward to it...lol. as always thanks for sharing
You're welcome! Best wishes finding a place for all your stuff.

Great ideas for storage. Was wondering if the fence is shared with your neighbor. And does the extra weight of hanging all these cold frames damage or pull on the fence supports?
Hi Lane! This is our fence and it borders the alley. You definitely want to make sure your fence is good and strong before hanging cold frames on it.
👍👍
This got me thinking, do you just know which plastic goes to which low tunnel, or do you have a labeling system?
Great point! Yes, I label them.
Hi!! Thanks for your great videos! I'm not sure where to post this question, but do you have any experience with invasive plants or serious weed control? I'd love to know more about this as we have a major Chinese lantern problem.
Hi Kate! We don't have too many weeds thanks to mulching. This video shows our approach: ua-cam.com/video/HuNMi2o6K0M/v-deo.html
Great ideas. What zone are you?
Thanks Janette! We're in zone 5b.
Thank you for sharing! Very well done. I'm glad Oscar got involved!
Thanks Eric! Oscar can't resist a camera.
just finished struckture and raised bed in 10 by 20 ft greenhouse,my first gonna be fun
Very cool!
Hey Pat how many years do you keep the same plastic covers before replacing them?
Hi Fernando! I'm hoping to go close to 10 years with the hoop house plastic.
I know u chop and drop comfry , do you make comfry tea for garden?
Hi Robert! I only chop and drop it.
How do you make double layer hoop cover? ty

How do you get rid of earwigs in your garden ?
Hi Bill! Sluggo Plus is a good organic control for earwigs.
I keep my plastic connected to my hoop frame and hang them on the wall in my shed. the cold frame idea you have is really smart. I always found they took up to much space in my shed so I'm gonna do what yo done. thanks.
Thanks Christopher! That sounds like a good approach. Yeah, we don't even notice our cold frames during the summer.

Hi Cody! There's usually some damage to the plastic most years, but it can be patched with greenhouse tape.
Great video. Do you have a typical dimension to your poly material that you buy?
Thanks! I buy a few different dimensions, but bought 16' x 25' for the hoop house. www.greenhousemegastore.com/product/4-year-greenhouse-film/6-mil-polyethylene-film
