In this video we are building a Chinese style greenhouse, also known as a Chinese high tunnel, quite similar to the poly tunnels I've seen in the west. But in this area of China, they are up against a wall - a brick or dirt wall facing north, and then the plastic cover towards the south. I think this is a way to preserve heat in the bricks or the dirt during the very cold nights.

The VPN I'm using to access all the western websites from China (such as Facebook, TH-cam and Instagram) is ExpressVPN. You can get it here: bit.ly/2BgvMTI
I have used since 2015, and so far I am very satisfied. During certain times of the year, I struggle to get on it - but the great thing about ExpressVPN is that their customer service is always available through their live chat, and they always try to help me if I encounter any problems.
› ABOUT ME
My name is Miriam Follin. I’m a Swedish woman who has been living and traveling in China since 2015. 2017 I married and began living with my husband in his hometown in north western China. On this channel I share videos on life, culture and food in rural Qinghai, and sometimes little videos from other parts of China or from Sweden.

Your husbands family reminds me so much of my grandparents and the way I was raised in rural Texas in the USA. So people are all the same that are close to the land. My grandparents were my security...so it tugs my heart to see them so attentive to your sons. They will be a big part of their life and give them life long memories. I so miss spending time picking and preserving food with my MamaRene ...and the times we all got together to plant the large garden of super dry soil like your in laws have. I remember my PapaJoe...every year plowing the garden with a horse...or if he didn't have an horse...he pushed the plow himself in that hard clumpy soil. We ate well with our garden...but we also worked hard trying to keep ahead of the "bind weed"...but it is my fondest memories with us all getting dirty...working together for a common goal...food during the year that we grew ourselves. I remember in the 70's I was young adult and making my first garden in my first home and was telling my grandparents all about ORGANIC gardening...LOL! They was amused...asking me what exactly was it. I explained the theory. Papa said .....well we was too poor and it was too far to go to get any chemicals or feed for the cows to make fertilizer...so they had to make due with steer manure, raise their own feed, and pulling the worms off the tomatoes by hand and putting them in a bucket of water. Your last video showed the sheep manure method of sowing...and my great grandma...knew the value of her goats leaving her offerings. She loved her goats so much that she went out herding them and got caught in a tornado storm...sheltered in a cave...had twins...and came home the next morning with the goats and her two babies...one of which was my Papa.
Thanks for sharing your family stories.
that's a very wonderful story, Tanya ❤
Tanya Briggs , amazing story! How nice to have memories like yours, life in the country with grandparents ....
Man, you made me cry! But thanks you’ve brought back my fondest memories.
I readed all your words
Miriam, this is absolutely brilliant and I love how the entire family came together to make this a reality. How absolutely fantastic!!!!
May you grow awesome fruits and veggies. There is no better feeling than to eat something you grew.
I agree, it's an amazing feeling!
Your so blessed to have such a great courtyard space to grow things... it would be really cool to have a tour of your house/compound sometime... it seems like such a great place. Your in-laws are all so helpful too... you married into a good family, good people... you are blessed ❤️
You married a manly man. Your in-laws adore their grandson. I see he is always in their arms.
Yes, they love him, and he loves them!
I think he's a REAL man. We have too many girlish men in my country.
May all your fruits and veggies flourish into abundance. Reap what you sow.
Yes, indeed.
Thank you so much for your well wishes!
每看一次不同视频，就有不一样的感动。Miriam 用一个中国普通农民家庭做回归样板，从当今中国的浮亏，弃农经商到勤劳致富。
I love how your videos give us all a first hand look into just a normal family life in China, love is universal. A breath of fresh air compared to how (some) media has been portraying China or the Chinese lately.
I was thinking the same. Bravo fromFrance.
do you know? China has the cleanest air and water in the world. You can go to Tibet in China, where there is the bluest sky and the most beautiful starry sky in the world. Standing on the top of the snowy mountain, you can see a place hundreds of kilometers away.
This is because there are few factories and thermal power plants in Tibet, no air pollution, and no water pollution.
This is the exact reason why i fell in love with this channel
Hi Miriam, SanSan , is growing so quickly. He is a beautiful little boy. Oh the simple life. Everyone pitches in to help with everything, whether it's growing veggies or cooking. It's fantastic. THANKYOU for sharing your family. I love them.
🤗🥰 from me in Australia..
Respect your 老公 👍。 In my country we called him "can do man". Very capable.
Thank you Miriam.
You have brought Joy into my lonely life.
Yes....same here ... TQsovvvvvvvvvvvvmch wth much❤
I just got to comment, Sansan is so cute!!! He is walking more steadier. Also your in laws family all work so hard to build the greenhouse. Hopefully to see more of the vegetables planted!
What a beautiful, loving and hard working family you have. Your son is adorable. Can't wait see your garden grow 🙏🏻❤️
Love your family and especially your son , he’s so adorable.
Miriam, watching your video never fails to make me smile. So much warmth.
cool video! I love watching how other people make greenhouses economically, it's been the focus of my TH-cam channel. Thank you for the info! Cheers from Canada!
Congratulations Miriam! A high tunnel is such a game changer!!!! Love how everybody pitched in to get it done. Isn't this an exciting adventure? You'll benefit from it so much! Good for you! You have a precious family.
I didn't know this was called a Chinese high tunnel until someone commented below! I hope we get some great results!
@@MiriamFollin + Hello there; I didn't read any comments! You may want to know: the main differences between a greenhouse and a tunnel are that in a greenhouse, plants are usually grown in pots on a table while a tunnel has the plants growing right in the ground as they would in a garden. Greenhouses are typically designed to use heaters and powered ventilation systems or evaporative coolers.

Anyhow you're better off now! very exciting... I'm happy for you guys.
I'm so exited to see your garden became all green and delicious!
You are always positive and productive. You bring happiness to Chinese.
So lovely to see this built! We have been getting our garden ready in Luxembourg too and have a nice mix of Chinese and western vegetables... I really want to grow mustard greens to preserve them for winter- if you do that, would you please make a video? Especially with your mother- In-law? Please tell her how happy she makes me with her kind words and generosity... I think she has such a nice spirit😊 from watching these videos!
Because of you and your family , I think I'm planning to build a greenhouse in my garden, ♥️♥️♥️ thank you so much, you husband is the Man of mans
Your husband is a fun guy, good sense of humor, love the simple life, slow living.
Well done to everyone who pitched in to make the greenhouse! I like your husband's explanation - "Miriam said build a greenhouse". LOL. I agree with your reasoning. I love all the amazing veggies I can get in China but I do wish there was a bit more organic veg about. In the UK we have less variety of veg but more choice for organic stuff.
I really look forward to see how it all goes! It's little bit of an experiment, since I'm not using plastic as cover in the greenhouse. If it all grows well, I'll look into shipping and see if it's possible to send you some haha!
@@MiriamFollin Aw! You are so thoughtful
Well done!! That’s incredible that you just got your green house built and your vegetables are sprouting up already! So excited for you! Before you know it you will be doing a harvesting video! San San is starting to babble away. He’ll be talking in no time! So cute! To see him interacting with his cousins! We have much warmer weather here in California so I have already picked a couple of squash, I saw some little cherry tomatoes and the cilantro is growing like a weed! Can’t wait for your next video!
Oh, that's wonderful to already being able to harvest! For us, we've been able to pick spring onion, and soon some green leaves and Chinese chives.
Love all these back to basics
I wish you and your lovely family health and happiness for the rest of your life. How refreshing to see something so peaceful and positive in this crazy and belligerent world.
The greenhouse looks wonderful. Your family has done a beautiful job. Can't wait to watch your veggies grow.
春天了🌾🌼🍀我这里也开始忙了。感谢大自然带给我们生命的源泉🤲，虽然我们住在不同的地方我们的心是相通的💞。
Perfect music!! Greatings from Switzerland 🇨🇭🇨🇭
老公：推了那麼多磚，讓我歇口氣再說 😜🐶
This is such a great idea Miriam
Watching your videos gives me a sense of peace
Everyone worked so hard to accomplish your lovely greenhouse. That was a monumental task involving the whole family. How exciting it is to see the little sprouts coming to life!
It must be extremely exhausting, your husband hardly has any breath to speak! Your idea to build the green house? It’s nice to always find way to improve one’s living conditions. Your family is so self sufficient, respect!
What a lucky little boy!
I love seeing your videos of your life. May you always be blessed with a loving, sincere and mutually respectful family.
I’ve seen your viewers growing, your story is very unique, you deserve it. Thumbs up!
Thank you!
Love your vlog,Miriam,always warms my heart.
Please show us how your Mother in Law puts up her veggies at the end of season. I was super excited to see her using dried spinach or greens of some sort...it reminded me of when I found a couple of large gunny sacks of some dried plants after my grandmother left the farm...I couldn't figure out what it was or why she would keep bags of dried up plants and me not be aware of it. LOL! NOW I wonder if she was perhaps keeping dried Lambsquarter (a delicious wild weed we harvested yearly to can). I have no idea what she might have used it for...but possible she had dried it for hard times...and added it to soup. Am particularly interested in all their traditional ways of preserving foods...
Amazing! Love your son--he's adorable!
Oh sweet! A greenhouse!! Fresh food all year round!!!
If there is extras, you can even pickle them for later.
Can't wait to see more updates on this greenhouse!
Awesome video thank you
6:41 I never knew San San had a gang!
Hahaha!
“Living healthy life with self-sufficient “👏🎋🌱
全家人一起動手建菜園！真實，平凡，最幸福！💖💖 三三
中国是农业文明，讲究的是人与自然的融合，看看李子柒那么多视频订阅者就知道了。所以，Miriam在青海农村，就让老公帮你折腾各种农村的蔬菜种植就对了，没准一不小心做成了产业，造福了当地农民，哈哈。喜欢你们的大棚，我在城市，想搞这种大棚都没有土地。
lucexe 引进先进农业技术机械，和当地政府部门农民👩🌾一起干，前途无量生活素质也能提高🌾🍀💐
In fact, Qinghai is not suitable for planting. There is too little water there. Qinghai is composed of grasslands, Gobi and deserts. Qinghai was once the place where the empire raised horses
洋葱大侠 你发英文给谁看呢
lucexe 洋葱大侠是干嘛的呀
Admire the hard work you all have put in.
I can't wait to see the green house finished and start working, I can't wait to see the greens !!!
There will be a video today or tomorrow with an update! 😊
Hey thanks for a greener and sustainable effort
Well done, good luck
...I just love your family..and looks like an awesome extended family...would be so fun to see your folks from Sweden visit when all this craziness is over...sending excellent plant vibes for the season...
Mother in law sending love from australia.Blessings to all
Looking good Miriam, lots of helping hands there too. Of to the home grown food it is.
It is awesome ! You guys make me homesick even more.
Great project,nicely done!

不简单！历害！,自己种的,安全放心！

Hard working and loving Family. OMG! Your little boy is growing fast! Hope you're all OK. Cheers from Australia.
Next to green house, can plant flowers, veggies and put a wood table can sit around for high tea ❤
I think you started a trend, the community seemed really interested in the greenhouse. Are they common there? It looks like a dry area, this is a good way to conserve water.
It's quite common! But most people's gardens are quite small, so they usually don't build as big greenhouses as ours.
Hello San San👦,hello sunshine 🌞 🥳.
Sansan has a great mother loving and nurturing him. He’s lucky.
Congratulations for your lovely greenhouse! 😍😍
Many kisses from Ellada(Greece )👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💖😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌹🌹🌹🌹
So cool you have your own greenhouse now! Can’t wait for the cooking videos with vegetables from your own garden 😍
They will come for sure!
Miriam In China yay! 😍🤤
Wow ! Det är coolt att din sön är inblandade i projekt 👍

Bravo Miriam
Simple but happy family:🤗
You are the most lovely family I have ever seen. I am so jealous.
Is the land family owned? How does it work in China when building or planting something? Btw can u pls make a video exclusively showing your boy? He is so adorable 😍
I watched all the ads.
Thank you!
I am curious are y'all going to have another little one?... Love your videos
Probably, but we still want to wait a little!
@frs 12 Now China has no restrictions on having a second child。
Your family is beautiful!
Nice vlog!
Hi myriam can't wait to see all the lovely fresh vegetables you all worked so hard it would be nice to hear your husband speak some English as you speak Chinese so well take care miriam.
💖💖💖 beautiful!
You’re lucky because your husband is hardworking. In fact …everyone in that family is hardworking . Laziness is a common trait among the young nowadays. The Chinese are a hardworking race all over the world.
Nice video wish you will have more veges.
Good work....
辛苦啦！！！
劳动是光荣的！！！
miaomiao woo 辛苦了🍀，有劳动才有成就感！
Son so cute , started having friends
Can you grow okra in that climate?? I am in pacific NW now and it MIGHT be possible in a high tunnel...but it certainly isn't with just a hoop/plastic row cover. It's a beautiful plant...and prolific.
I enjoy your video
What a beautiful family, beautiful community
Your husband really love you very much. He could do everything for you. So it's no wonder that you can stay in rural China from Sweden.
hi Miriam hvor er det spændende at følge din hverdag i Kina. tak for mange gode videoer.
Tack för att du tittar!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the idea of growing your own plantation bringing the entire family bonding together. Such a beautiful family you have there & one more thing also I love your tempo of music, just wondering who are your favourite artist???
Sharing the Love all the way frm Sydney AUS n stay safe n bless during these hard days xo
Oh that's such a tricky questions! I love a lot of traditional music, both Swedish, Scottish and Irish. I also like some classical music, and then acoustic groups. But I always forget the names, so I always struggle to find the music again!
Your music in the background is so mellow, Love it xo
