Ooh, nice haul of butternut squash! I love the colour of young lettuces, so vibrant. I have sweet potato envy, I definitely need to grow some next year!
First video I've seen of yours and I'm impressed. That greenhouse is awesome and you implemented plenty of amazing ideas. I will have to cover up a well pipe, then raised beds inside the greenhouses will be next.
I love your videos. You explain things well and have many great ideas. They’re also an inspiration and a roadmap for smaller channels like myself to want to continue and create better content to grow like your channel. Thanks again -OMG
Wonderful squash! Never grown them but will definitely try next year. I wish I could afford a Polycrub, such a great space for plants. Loved the vlog as always Tanya.
You can make a similar structure with cattle fencing, metal stakes and some scrap wood. Minimum cost would be about $150-$200. For a similar sized space to the one shown, cost would about $300-$350, with main cost being the plastic covering. Growing about 150-300lbs of produce (depending on the produce) will essentially pay for the structure through food savings (doesn’t include cost of fertilizer/compost input or time cost). Not to mention the added nutrient density from home grown fresh food, as well as the satisfaction from a successful season. Definitely worth it if you have some spare time
Very interesting Tanya and well done on all your yummy produce! Just out of interest as I'm clearing out my greenhouse currently what do you do with all the plants you are discarding? I'm tempted to compost but not too sure. And I have a used growbag too. Can I reuse it for lettuces? Had bottle squash in it.
The issue I made a mistake with was overwatering lettuces in the greenhouse border in autumn and winter, I have refrained from watering as much this time and not overhead watering the leaves so much, just near the base of the lettuce and less often in colder weather. Also it is tempting to want to close the doors up all winter, but doing that you end up with mouldy lettuces! without any airflow through the greenhouse or polytunnel.
How cold does it typically get in your area in winter? I can't imagine anything staying warm enough to survive where I am even in a shelter like the polycrub.
It usually doesn't dip below 2⁰C (35⁰F) in winter here. Not warm enough for most crops to truly grow from December to February but hardy types can overwinter undercover and give late/early crops. For colder places you'll need to use additional strategies -- too many to list here.
@@Lovelygreens Thank you replying. I seriously considered a high tunnel for my yard but we're on the boundary between the temperate zone and the sub polar zone so we regularly see -40C in December January and February. I ended up deciding it was not going to benefit me much and, with regret, I did not buy the high tunnel. Instead two smaller greenhouses with the ability to be heated in late spring and early fall to extend my season. I envy you that lovely winter climate! I also very much enjoy your videos. My wife and daughter make your lovely soaps.
Less pest issues by far. I did have wasps in the Polycrub this year which will have helped with eating things like caterpillars. Hoping wasps help me out next year too!
Hello Tanya Lovely Greens. I have two small glass grow houses i use for Dwarf tomatoes . They are both empty now. So i think i will try grow some Lettuce from seed . Is it too late to grow lettuce from seed. I know i could look on packet or on internet for info . But as i am watching your vid i thought ahh well Ask Tanya . 😊 Thanks .
It depends on where you live and how cold it is/will get. I could probably squeeze in a last sowing but folks in places that are experiencing frosts and freezes already should wait for spring.
@Lovely Greens I live in West Yorkshire Northern UK . Thank you for replying. Ummn?? a few seeds in pots aint going to bankrupt me i guess. Lets give it a go . Haha !! Bye .
Neil and I watched this video together and we loved it! 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
Thanks so much to you both 💚😘

First time growing both! I don't know about Wales but it's challenging to grow either here. Yay for undercover growing :)

Welcome aboard!
i heard a chuckle held back in you voice when you were showing off your squash. I couldnt have kept my composure. Well done!
I didn't notice :) I am mighty pleased with them though -- not too bad for an understory crop!
I love your videos. You explain things well and have many great ideas. They’re also an inspiration and a roadmap for smaller channels like myself to want to continue and create better content to grow like your channel. Thanks again -OMG
What a kind comment :) Thank you so much and best of luck with your channel!
I like how you used a cat to measure how low your beds got! Nice visual!😸😸
Ha! Yes, perfectly coordinated 😂
Maggie agrees 😍👍👍 we've got rose flowers still 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Vraiment magnifique, bravo pour votre travail.
A bientôt 😉 😉 😉 😉

Harika bir sunum olmuş emeğine sağlık gerçekten muhteşem👏👏👏🙋♂️
so nice watching from Dubai
I enjoy your videos and find the information very useful.
Glad that you do, Charles!
I have Polycrub envy!
It's amazeballs! Love it :)

lovely video
Do you have frost free watering system? Wondering how you manage the watering in winter. Thanks Tanya!
MashaAllah beautiful and fresh vegetables thanks for sharing 🇵🇰💚🌹
Always amazed with your gardening. So nice, neat informative, and organized. About how cold does it get there in the winter? Thanks! Great video!
Wow 🤩🤩🤩
Great update! Butternut squash soup! Are the wasps still hanging around the Polycrub?
They disappeared I'm July! I think it got too hot for them and they left. A big spider lives in the wasp nest now.

Good point -- it's important to maintain good aeration, and sensible moisture levels at all times but especially winter.
I still need to do my greenhouse but I’m well on my way to finish the allotment!
And as soon as it's finished, it'll almost be ready to begin again :) No rest for us gardeners!
Nice information
I have not watched in a while! Didn't see you build the tunnel! What kind of pipe did you use? When did you get glasses?
I'm excited to see your sweet potato harvest! I'm trying to grow slips from one sweet potato placed in dirt for next spring.
I'm excited too but not trying to get my hopes up too much at the same time 😂 Good luck with your slips!

Very nice greenhouse. May i know how much it cost? Thank you.
Prices vary by size and shipping destination in Britain. You can find more information on the Polycrub website :)
Whats the advantage of having polycrub instead of glass covered greenhouse? Does it make it warmer inside? Thank you.
It's more resilient to wind, is double-paned, so warmer in winter, and the plastic shell can last more than thirty years.
Would you say you had less pest problems inside polycrub than outside?
Less pest issues by far. I did have wasps in the Polycrub this year which will have helped with eating things like caterpillars. Hoping wasps help me out next year too!
Me gustaria esa salsa de tomates verdes🥰🥰
Have you tried growing mushrooms?
The last time wasn't very successful but I hope to try again!
What location do you grow in?
The Isle of Man 🇮🇲
what growing zone are you in?
All that information is in the channel description. I'm not in North America but it's similar to the PNW here.
🌻👌🏻🌼
Cover your sweet potatoes
Leviosaa, not Leviosa...

Do you have a lot of experience in growing garden plants?
