    sneaky chickens in the greenhouse. Good idea with the screens. That garden is so full of life!!! My broccoli did that last year to, the damn things were 5 feet tall with no head. I think you have all great things to make improvements on.

    I thank you for this video. Greenhousing is an art, with many pitfalls. You have given me much to think about. My climate is hot and dry, so the rain barrel will definitely help me, and I am hoping to find cooling ideas, though. Loving the design

    With tomatoes, we grow indeterminate as well. I pick them for fresh eating and salsa and things when they are ready and then wash and core the others and put them in freezer bags in the freezer. It's February and I have a huge slow cooker of pasta sauce in the works today when I don't have all the other garden produce coming in to preserve 😊

    Putting a fan in the wall is definitely a space saver we have also found that ventilation is key to a greenhouse we need to figure out how to ventilate more I think the slope of the roof will serve you well but I'm worried about snow buildup on your plastic side you may need more supports just thinking out loud buddy other than that I love your Greenhouse✌💗 happiness

    • @ThorHavenFarm

      Yup, fan in the wall will be in the plan. The 45 degree slope actually sheds snow really well. Thanks again!!

    Doing great in the green house,everything seems to be thriving. Have you ever thought of putting in misters for those hot days. I don't know just an idea. Grandma use to have a blue tarp set up like a curtain with a little rope and pulley system. That way she can open and close as needed. Great video. Stay blessed. 💚💫✌

    I have a big cooling tip for your greenhouse, a sun shade cloth around 40% can reduce temperatures in your greenhouse by 10 degrees! Meanwhile plants will grow just fine. I put everything in the greenhouse with the shade cloth on instead of having to move my plants into the shade from the sun twice a day. I purchased a shade cloth that could completely cover my greenhouse and staked them into the ground.

    If you make and extra layer of plastic - 3-5 centimeters from the existing plastic, you will get same effect as the isolation of snow :) Know a guy in Quebec who messured snow isolation to about +2 - +4 cel. Actually very effective in winter :)

    I've watched many of your videos. I enjoy your channel but I don't think I have ever commented. Just saw about the heat on the seedling. Rather than having another shelf to move the seedlings, you may consider just putting some sun filtering material there during the hot periods. Just a thought. You may have already considered this. If so, sorry for speaking out of turn. Just seems like it would be easier than moving all the seedlings.

      Thanks so much! Probably cost less than $1000. Windows were free, supports are trees from our place, siding is all milled from our trees. So the plastic, cost of milling, a bunch of 2"x6" boards and plywood and then some 6x6 for the outside posts.

    So it is not a "classic" greenhouse plastic that you used. Did you see any damage from the sun after one season?

    • @ThorHavenFarm

      Nope, just a thick plastic. No damage at all yet from sun, snow or hail thankfully
