- Growing vegetables in the woods can be challenging. Growing them through the winter may be impossible but we're certainly going to try. We've done a lot of experimenting since we built our greenhouse, some we had great success with and others were failures. In this episode, we share what we have learned from our journey.

Boss--i stopped gardening when my wife of 52 years passed It was our favorite thing and we spent days in the yard together Your videos are a call to me to go back to what i loved and maybe in heaven share with my darling Thank You All the best from Nova Scotia Canada
A garden may help fill the void in your life. Maybe plant a few of her favorites while you're at it.
I agree with the Boss... Keep on gardening, and embrace the memories ♥️
52 years?
You were a good husband ☺️.
Hey Donald, every tomato plant when you brush the plant and puts out that delicious scent, will bring her memory closer. I have already asked God for a cabin in heaven and a garden and vineyard to tend. Someone else can have a mansion. I was never fond of marble floors. He knows my heart on this. He knows yours too. God bless, juanita mae
Donald! I understand your love and that you miss your Misses! Love is a wunderfull thing! But if you have space for me (56) and my wife (46) then we will start a new garden with you! We came over to CA and live togehter until the Lords lift us or the end comes! We are in Germany and we ar tierd of the communist system.
What kind of a sad life must someone live to thumbs down this video. Great video as always Boss. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Pay no attention to the douche canoes and keep being awesome.
After a growing season, you still look like a kid in a candy store when you’re in your greenhouse. Of course having green growing plants with snow on the ground would make anyone happy. Lori looked a little like a kid too scarfing tomatoes at Thanksgiving. Glad all that hard work is paying off so well with food and with happiness.
I doubt the novelty will ever wear off. I love it.
You summed it up so well. Because it all comes down to it if it doesn't make you smile why are we doing it.
Lets hope the fiddler is fiddling when he farts so no one hears it. 😚👍 Great quality video as always ! You deserve a raise ! Here's another greenhouse experiment for u. Try some barrels painted flat black filled with water to soak up the sun & release it at night & see if u burn less wood. ☺👍
By the way - your smile is extra big when you're in the green house especially on a wintery snowy day. Very very cool!!!
Love it out there ;-)
I know what you mean about the green in the middle of winter. A friend keeps a large amount of plants indoors during winter. Her long dead husband had converted a southern facing room into a solarium. It was like walking into a jungle during winter and always uplifted the spirit. A bunch of us would go over on Sat morning and spend the day with her in the jungle. Maybe adding a layer of clear plastic on the inside of your studs would help create a dead air space and help raise the temp higher.
I can answer the seed-starting question for you. The reason they started off faster was the thin cubes of the seed trays can warm up faster thus promoting faster growth. The dirt in the larger tray stays cooler which inhibits growth. I have worked with plants for 40 years and I do a lot of education for folks at the plant industry where I work. You don't have to dig up old tomato plants in order to keep them. Just break off some of the laterals leave them about eight inches long and cut the lower leaves off and just stick them in pots of dirt. It takes about six days and they will be rooted! That way you have a fresh new plant with the tender green off the end of the plant instead of the old base plant. You can get many new starts of tomatoes like this.
To see that snow is heaven to me as we bake in 40oC. Love the little melody removing those boards.
Hey, nice melody on the hammering shelves! Hahahahah Bossmusic.
It was a Bossanova!
You heard it too ! He was making music knocking those slats out🎶🕊🎶
Sounded like a Xylophone.
I Loved 💞 it also.
Winter on the mountain...here it comes! The greenhouse and all that it will produce...not just is things that will physically sustain you but the peace in the midst of the harshness of winter is such a blessing!
Have a great week my friend!
I can't over emphesise the peace and tranquility that greenhouse brings us. I go down there to ten the fire and have to spend an hour fussing over plants. It's a wonderful place :-))
In the times we're all experiencing right now, watching your videos is just the ticket to bringing people up and out of the pits. I loved it when you said being in the greenhouse is good therapy. Gardening always is.
I go though my share of funks but this greenhouse is always the cure for that. Maybe I'll build a bigger one next time and put a fish pond in it :-))
@@thebossoftheswamp LOL A fish pond!!! This I want to see!
When it comes to your experiments, there are no failures- only learning! Thanks for sharing!
Very true!
My mom and dad always had a garden when I was growing up and, I could actually taste the tomato that Lori popped in her mouth in my mind! Nothing better than one right off the vine!
Seed tray forces roots because they hit the boundary wall. Ones in dirt take longer to fill in roots because they will spend time reaching out before greening.
also good to urinate on them mixed with water....
Boss only you could get two hotties for only six bucks! What a guy!
Living proof that learning can be fun.
Just a suggestion.... you may want to do some research on hand pollinating. Doubtful any bees or wind will be visiting the greenhouse any time soon ; ) I did some hand pollinating with corn because I had so few stalks & wanted to make sure the male & female plants got the necessary fertility (?) LOL not sure what to call it. haha At any rate, I got quite a few ears of corn from only about seven stalks, so I think that little experiment went pretty well. I got the info on YT. I love the greenhouse; wish it was parked in my back yard. I'll just have to resort to daydreams again until spring. Blessings @--->----
So we got 6 inches from that same storm here in Goffstown, NH. I noticed you grow no strawberries so a trick I saw my mom do in her greenhouse with great success was she found a 6 foot section of gutter at the dump. My father screwed it to the wall and she started strawberries in it and they took off hanging down not taking up much room in the greenhouse. Just a FYI!! Happy Holidays!!
We grew them in hanging pots but haven't tried them through the winter yet.
If you do make sure you get the ever bearing kind, not the seasonal variety ^_^
@@thaliahelene Thank You!!
My favorite quote "never under estimate a good shoe" Cinderella said that ya'll 👠
Old Hoss got metal shoe's...you don't know cold till you wear metal shoe's!🏇
still fun to play in that dreamy snow on the mountain, kicking up snow balls .⛄
leave room for 2 lawn chair's in the green house so you can role play vacation in
Florida 🌅 all you need is a couple of tiny umbrella's for your greenhouse cocktail party !🍹🍹
i've had alot of fun watching and ol hoss is hanging on every word as he eats his carrots
like popcorn.
have a great week and put some christmas lights up in the Greenhouse and kiss the Mrs under the mistletoe !🌱💏 breakout the sunscreen your going to Florida ...🎄👙👓

Never tire of hearing The theme song✨
The Mums will be all the stronger for waiting!
Love these longer videos. 20 to 25 minute videos by you seem to just fly by. Those 12, 15 minute videos
are simply not long enough. Thanks for being here, and a Merry Christmas to you folks.
I wish I had the time and the content to make longer ones all the time.
You can over-winter peppers this way. Just clip off 2/3 of the plant and transplant the root ball. Transplant in the spring after last frost. You will be harvesting peppers a month or more early.
The sock creeping is the WORST!
Just sharing what I do, got it from my grandfather and father. If I’m going to be out in the cold for a bit, I put Vick’s vaporub on my feet, then wool socks. I always stay cozy. (It said to increase circulation in the feet). I don’t question it, because it works for me. Thanks for inviting us over, be well my friend.
I'm certain that the hydroponic aspect of the floating tray is the reason why those seeds did better than the soil sown seeds. The styrofoam may help to insulate, too. You want to experiment? Start looking into hydroponics.
Enjoy that greenhouse! Only Frosty would argue that with you.
Boss what a pleasant place you two have created on the mountain. You have spread so much valuable information. God keep you and the dogs safe.................................
Standing on the shoulders of giants....😊👍...this info will get passed down to generations..
It all started in a Garden boss.
Lol. Been there. Now I wear alpaca socks and mittens. Amazing.
Greetings from PEI Boss. I know your power options are somewhat limited. Myself I use a heat matt, which speeds up germination. I have multiple trays depending on when stuff goes out. I have what is called 'Root Trainer's which have grooves down the sides and train the roots not to spiral or clump. Tomatoes and peppers are started in larger trays. My onions are started in tree plug starters, they are hard plastic and quite deep. I start my onions around Feb 5th for transplant mid to late April. The baker creek web site is selling out of many seeds quickly and was not able to get the onions I wanted. Wethersfield Reds are one of my favourites for salads. Once we hit the 10+hr daylight mark you should see some more plant growth. At ten hours nothing grows, but it's great for harvesting, and you are certainly doing that. My experiment this winter is lacto-fermenting garlic. I had 200 bulbs this year and after freezing some, I decided to put some down this way. Sun set at 4:26 here these days and it makes for a short amount of daylight. All the best
Thanks for sharing your thoughts buddy. We see very little direct sun now as it doesn't climb above the treetops. We're living on the wrong side of the slope but I can't buy the whole mountain haha.
I bloody love watching your life in film. It's so calming. So much info and so interesting. Thank you 👍😉
From Nottingham UK 🇬🇧
Great video boss man! Sounded like music when you tapped the wood off the shelf!! Have a wonderful holiday season! From ohio
Happy Holidays :-)
Best remedy I found for cold feet- alpaca socks. They wear beautifully, stay soft and have a beautiful loft. Received a pair as a gift, now they are my (NH) winter go to.
Hello, new subscriber here. I have been watching quite a few of your vlogs over the past couple of days and I am now hooked. I am in the UK living a totally different life to you and Lori but have been so engrossed in what you are and have been doing. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us all. Stay safe and well to you both and the "kids" xx
Happy to hear you are enjoying my ramblings Ann and thanks for taking the time to say so. All the best ;-)
That greenhouse will be good for the soul this winter!
Agreed ;-)
Okay last comment....😁 the larger the seed the larger the seed tray needed to plant it in. The smaller the cells on the seed trays, the smaller the seed that goes in it. Seed tray sizes are based on the size of the roots that the product growing will produce. Vegetables that are large rooted will not last but a week or two in a small seed tray and will die before time to transplant it. There will not be enough dirt to hold the water to make it grow. I would definitely think twice before planting bulbous seeds in the seed cells. The problem is, take for instance, beets. Once beets germinate they throw down a very long Tap Root to Anchor the plant to begin the bulb of the Beet or even for radishes. By that time the Taproot has circled the seed Tray cell and has practically ruined it for planting out. I know this from personal experience as I have had it happen to me. I typically will direct seed beets and radishes and turnips. Hope this helps. Here's a free tip for you..... Put a tablespoon or two of bloodmeal about once a month on your pansies. You're welcome!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience. At my last house, I grew everything in 72 cell trays and had amazing results. I'll find thos pictures and share them in a followup video. I was on grid then and these were started under lights. The plants were outrageous.
Smiling Boss and Lori is a great sight to see this chilly Sunday. 😁 Appreciate your time, tips and sense of humor Boss. Think I'll try experimenting with making our own floating trays for spring. Thanks for sharing your adventures and your experiments with us. Keeping y'all in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless y'all and the fur babies ✌❤😁
Good luck with your flaots :-))
Thank you. 👍
Well it is the time if year to stay busy, but one does not have to work quite as hard. One can try and make plans for the coming year and perhaps do a little reading ir inside hobbies if one has them. I loved the intro on yiur last vlog with the squirrel and the bag of seed and if coarse the bubble wrap. It reminded me so much of my husband I had to show it to him! He is always taking care of the birds and squirrels and of coarse our resident kitty
and our Husky Bella Rose. I kid him about taking care of all the critters except himself. It has been a different year fir sure, but we are headed into the Christmas season and maybe the colored lights and decorations will help lift peoples spirits. Lets not forget the reason for the season! My best to you and yours for a blessed Christmas and to our precious puppies Frankie and Tildy. Don't forget to get the little ones something special in their stocking! 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊👍👍👍👍👍
Your joy is contagious! I appreciate you and your enthusiasm. Thanks for all your wisdom and time you put in everything you do.
You are so welcome!
Hi Boss, Back when you first showed us your Greenhouse I told you that it looked like Heaven to me, and it still does. There is just something about growing your own and taking care of them every step of the way that makes it taste better as well as restores all those weary dreary feelings back to refreshed and at peace. Just a huge mood booster. I miss mine so, so much!
I'm not sure if there's a difference between Floating seed trays and Seed trays, but I've used trays for years. A friend convinced me to use and make my own seed blocks instead of a tray. They worked just as well or better, Plus no damage pushing the plant out of the tray. You might want to try them.
When my Indeterminate growth Tomatoes become leggy and start flopping over, I cover the vine with dirt where its touching. Like Pumpkins and many others, the tomatoes will grow new roots to help feed that far end. Just like yours I've had the main root die while this newly rooted section continues to produce fruit as if it was a new plant.
The only time I got better results with direct planting over trays, were plants whose main tap root is vital and cant be damaged in any way. Carrots are a good example. Corn and Sunflowers are more as they rely on the strong tap room allowing them to grow tall.
I am eagerly awaiting all the goodies and surprises the Greenhouse experiments will bring! Oh, when are you planning on getting chickens?
I'll be doing a followup very soon regarding the seed trays and the chickens but yes, these trays float in a waterbed and they produce amazing roots systems.
One heck of a great slice of heaven you made there. Thanks for the update.
Thank you :-)
I buy my boots 1/2 size larger and double my socks, with a wool sock in winter. This really works for me. However, I don't wear Muck brand winter boots, I wear LaCrosse, including their rubber boots for the mud and muck around the ranch. LaCrosse have always been excellent in this application, in my opinion of course, LOL........
I'm a Lacrosse fan as well.
Lol "fiddler's fart" Hahah You had me at I'm not lying folks! The fart part is a bonus. Thanks LOL
My wife loves the greenhouse!
Mine too :-)
Little fella we used to go to church went hunting with his family. When they all got back to the camp that evening, everybody was freezing and talking about how cold their feet were. They asked him if his feet were cold and he said, nah, every time they got cold today I just poured some coffee out of my thermos into my boots!😂😂. True story, so if the little hotties don’t work.
What many people don't realize with all the new style rubber boots(with the soft cushions liners/insoles), they fit great when walking, when you sit down the boot fits too tight as there's no weight to compress the insoles....
from upper Wisconsin I used Ice king boots. they are rated for 50 below. comes with liner you can remove and dry between use. I used them for bow hunting, ice fishing and riding the trails.
I've had mine for decades. Best boot I've ever owned.
Check the root mass in your experiment of the radishes. Root mass in your foam trays should be bigger with more shorter roots. Thus more roots better chance of faster growth when transplanted. On the other hand the seeds growing in a container with more soil will grow onger but there will be less roots thus less chance of growth of the plants. My two cents on the subject.
Recently cooked swiss chard on my campfire. Fried bacon,sauted onion and a touch of garlic,put in the chard to steam a little. Served with a little seasoned vinegar. Salmon ,baked potato and roll filled out the menu.
It certainly is a beautiful greenhouse and it is still producing fresh vegetables!👍 great investment 👍
We hae 10" of snow on the ground and temps in the teens. The greenhouse is like going on vacation. B-))
Great advice on the seed trays, and you're 100% right on starting them in the trays yields faster growing plants. I've seen this first hand as well. I don't know all the science behind it, but has something to do with the root structure growing downward instead of outward, which is more efficient for the plant. Great video as always!
I love that greenhouse! I'm so curious to see how everything does. Thanks for sharing.
Me too!
Your video came up just in time to save me from losing my sanity. Thank you. It’s at City living thing LOL. A couple of weeks ago a channel popped up in my TH-cam suggestions so I watched it. You’re gonna love this my friend. The guy said to help keep his feet warm in the winter he will cut bubble wrap as an inner soul and stick that between the real inner soul and the boot. He said it works amazing. I live in Texas it doesn’t get cold enough to worry about feet being chilly. But if you try the bubble wrap please let me know how it works out.And that is another awesome way to use bubble wrap or bubble foil, or reflect dicks whatever you wanna call it. Have fun peace and freedom.. Crap! I should’ve watch the whole video should’ve known you would put bubble wrap in your shoes.
I love seeing you glisten in hour environment! Its so refreshing having everything in order and so cozy! Thank you again for all your wisdoms!!! God Bless you!
Thank you Jeanette and God Bless :-))
I am in Minnesota and we built a greenhouse/ hoop house last spring so it’s our first winter. Glade I found your channel and thanks for the update
My DH took the shelving in our greenhouse and put hinges on them to lift up and lock when I am planting under them in the raised beds. The best of both ideas!
Southern KY here. I still have broccoli under agrobon fabric, kale , rutabagas, and cabbage. Also have collards with no covering they look fantastic! Nights have been in the 20s with 4 nights in the teens. I had never tried the collards this late.
Another great video. Thank you for sharing. I am considering a green house or a hoop house. Your channel is a real blessing. God bless America.
Thanks for the video to go with my coffee. Now it is off to fire up the woodmizer and build something. Have a great day. We still have no snow on the ground in northern New Brunswick.
Great to see the old screen door!!
Your question at 19:10. It's always been my experience that when the root growth is restricted the plant growth thrives...and vice versa, when the plant growth is restricted or plants are pruned, the root growth thrives.
Thanks for your input.
I have a pair of pink mucks, love them. I find that because of the rubber the feet sweat, this what makes the feet cold. So with that said; if you get some pure wool and just wrap it or make it like a booty, your feet will stay warm. Nice greenhouse. you'll have to get a couple of hammocks to hang out with the greens. Many Blessings
Yes! The storm blew in & blew out the power. Watched your blog to the hum of our generator. We aren’t set up like you two are but we are prepared as we can be. Will be glad when the sun comes up. You two have done such a wonderful job with your home. Your green house is great!! I hope it flourishes. Nothing like your own home grown food, and this time of the year it’s a plus!! Thanks for sharing!! ❄️⛄️
P.S. I love my Muck Boots. While they aren’t as pretty as the boots some of the other ladies wear, they are comfy and practical for me. haven’t had a problem with the cold feet. I wear Merino Wool socks on the colder days. Happy Holidays to you two and the pups 🎄
Same here with the wool socks. My feet stay warm while walking but 3 hours in a deer stand is a different story. I'll save my Mucks for the muck he hee :-)
@@thebossoftheswamp
I wear those “old fashioned” 😉 felt lined snow mobile boots when snow shoeing. The thick felt liners are the best!
Two new snow could be so pretty
I put a HotHands hand warmer in my shoes. Once you walk a couple hundred yards they co form to my feet and keep them nice and toasty warm. Sometimes too warm. Just put something (a sock) between your feet and the warmer.
You might try a couple food seeds for entertainment in your greenhouse, I’m growing Mexican peppers from dry ones from the grocery spice rack. Also growing onions and celery tops, beet greens, chicory and the like, can come back for quite a while. Nasturtiums might do ok in there and are edible, leaves + flowers. Spinach does well for people in winter.
Green house is awesome, but your MAGIC goes a long ways too.
Newspaper 📰 is a great 👍 insulator. Would have to replace each use, but could put news paper on the sole of the boot first.
Boss, glad to see the latest installment of Keeping on. I appreciate your attitude in your sharing with us. You can tell on the replies that we each take what is needful to ourselves and add on the rest for our future interests. Always something for each of us. You my friend are a treasue. Thanks for this installment as I wait for the next. I have a seed tray or two to order. God Bless and Protect you all on the mountain. Your mountain is beautiful.
I appreciate that Albert. Thank you and God Bless.
Hi Boss building your greenhouse was a great idea. Wow Lori picking tomatoes on Thanksgiving you can't get any better than that.👍👍
Agreed. I wish I had started more stuff to grow through the winter but we were just too busy this fall. Regardless, It's enjoayble fussing over plants with snow on the ground ;-))
Love the video boss tell Mama and the kids I said hello from Alabama
Greets from Hamburg in Germany! The "seed-starter home" If the seeds had the same place for growing- the same sun the same cold then it has an simple answere why the seed in the smaller homes growed better: 1: The temperaturs in the sourounding is better the isolation through the styro helps 2: The water is better keept in the smal boxes. The funnel is like a tunnel that make the water run slower. The "cold feet thing" My first mentor was a cancer doctor a famous one in the early 90th. He was like a father for me- my father was an alcoholic and a bad men. This men helped me to overcome some soul problems and I learned some basics about cancer. 80% of his patients where "death candidats" we viseted them and hold many hands or the sick person until they toke the last breaht. Some lived for years other more then 10 years! Not everyone had family. One importend in your situation is to ceep the feed warm and dry. The feeds are in connection with some organs like the kidneys- and others and if you have to long cold feeds you weaken your iumun-system and can create special infection that are not good in your situation. My hunter tipp: If you have to run through your swamp with wet grounds morass- use the waterprove NEOPREN boots and even if the weight is 2 KG or kilo have 2 real warm hunterboots "or long time sitting in the high places" with you and change then the boots. Go on Jagd-Schuhe de (De for germany take a look at the handmade traditionell boots. Lether, goere tex, Sheep wool inside water proofe some with electro heater. They can cost between 500 US$ or 600 US$. I will make contact with the 3 companys that have such warm hunter boots (for long sitting and walking times when hunting) and will ask them if they are willing to support you with such nice live changing ääää hunter changing boots. 1: Haix is a global player mil. hunter police special winter boots worldwide tale a look 2: MEINDL KIRUNA GTX WINTERSTIEFEL they are also in the US. Handmade. 3: A CA boot produktion: BAFFIN HERREN STIEFEL CONTROL MAX they have high end hunter boots for real cold times. I will call them in 2 hours from Germany. And please give me information what kind of size- if you need some extra space some wide boots (I wear only extra wide because my feed became wider in the last 50 years through my weight) So to prevent more pressure of your body- check out the "2kind of boot" thing also good are the real wool insoles out of real cheep wool. You will not sweat in them they ceep the feed dry IF you have enogh space in the boots. As more air is in a boot as better the isolation is but with NEOPREN its not function. NEOPREN will not breath and then you sweat in them. Love from Hamburg
Fun YT canal from a 70 year old German that builded himself an expeditions truck on Mercedes Benz basic- so good isolated that he was able to drive in the coldest places on erath. His truck has 11 TO. After that he builed out of steel his own ship. In his former live he was a fruit market dealer in Germany. Here his YT "Cytros4x4 Reisetruck" the pics are wunderfull!
Watched this episode on my 32 inch TV, but there is no way to "like" it or comment. So it is either fire up the desktop or find it on the cellphone, I choose the ladder.
Real good info on the seed trays! My guess is the seedings started in the bigger box got colder somehow and hence slowed their growth. Or maybe they were too far away from their siblings and were scared, haha.
Great video! Fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes on Thanksgiving Day, wow how great is that, they sure looked tasty!!
We had 3" of snow in October but none since. I for one would love a Wisconsin winter without it, I know it is wishful thinking, but I can dream.
Love to both of you and have a wonderful Christmas. Dollie and Simba will send Frankie and Tildy a box of Dog Treats. I'll send some Coffee.
That tomato plant is cranking them out. I'll definitely plant those again :-))
This was a great load of information!! I don’t have a green house like you because our zones are so different, experience is always the way to go . I was so excited to see those tomatoes in December!!! God bless!!! ♥️
Glad you enjoyed it and blessings to you as well.
Thanks Boss, most enjoyable, you are something of a musician playing the tunes on that timber with the hammer. stay safe and warm, say hi to everyone. Michael, Dublin, Ireland.
💖 and God bless you
Boss.,We’d Like to live out there🕊”Live long + free...
Excellent information video Boss. Today's temperature outside was -2C and inside the greenhouse was 23C. No heat just natural sunshine. T-shirt weather inside. Beautiful for the mind.
Good evening from Arizona. I am trying to finish up the 4'x8' center island for wifey's new kitchen but it is getting cold in the woodshop. Time to finally install the wood burning stove.
Wicked I was all ready thinking bubble foil just milli seconds before you said..........bubble foil Lovin it bro
lol I got a kick from that one myself. LOL
Your greenhouse and workshop together, that is heaven on earth.
I was going to say something about how the boards all had a musical sound as you were removing them only to see comment after comment about that. More musical ears out there than I expected. But the Bossanova one took the cake lol! Merry Christmas to you and Lori and Frankie and Tildie!!!!! Oh, I built my wife and I a raised bed garden spring before last, but I'm gettin' jealous of your green house. Looks like I've got another project ahead. 😀
I know buddy. It reminded me of those little keybopard thingys we had when we were kids. I'll have to pull that clip back onto my editing board and see what I can come up with haha. God Bless.
👌 Beaver busy Bossman 😉💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤ God bless you & yours
Hey Jim, you have women watching your videos too. Not just guys!
Happy to hear that :-))
yes
Most of the time the plants are not dead well! at 40 below lol!
Makes me sad to see neglected plants in big box stores being thrown out because some time lack of water most of my geraniums are 5 to 10 years old every fall I'm running out of room in the house because I don't want to throw any plants I don't need curtains in the windows the plants cover that take care be safe and Merry Christmas and happy new year to both of you
My dad always told me to pay attention to good advice! Thanks.
More great back woods logic! I love my muck boots but my feet do get cold. I may try those insoles. Love the logic on the seed trays. Makes so much sense. Thank you.
Quick tip if you are worried about "hitting your noggin' " on the upper planting shelf, get a cheap styrofoam pool noodle, slice out about an inch and wrap it around the upper 2x4 so if you do hit your head, at least you wont see stars (been there done that) As always, thanks for sharing and God Bless!!
Great video boss.The camp looks so beautiful w fresh snow.Keep safe, until next time.God bless.❤🐕
God Bless.
On your tomatoes, you can take cuttings, and plant them, stick the cutting in water, change water every few days. After roots form plant in pot. You've now cloned your tomatoes
Agreed. The second pot of tomatoes were grown from cuttings.
Bubble foil rap your favorite Boss. Got the same boots they are comfortable but not the warmest. Great video like all your others. Take care and stay warm.
Hi again BOSS
So good to see you!
A great vid with the results from your greenhouse experiments. Way cool! Proven handy tidbits to pass along that will be very helpful for others.
Regarding your boot warmers I no more then a split second after having the thought of trying the
bubble foil you said it lol lol lol! Thinking not many if any entertaining the thought just made me laugh and laugh when you said it and chuckled as you did!
Especially funny because of its history with commentors...
So fun to hear you talking about your loved greenhouse. A winter of fresh greens sounds delicious and the envy of many!
You're looking and sounding mighty good there Boss. Seems there's been a positive change in you there like it a miracle maybe?!! Never to question God's healing power especially this time of year...
Days are long here with the darkness thing making the nights so very long. Not a fan for sure so will be relieved when we get through. The crappy virus needs to be done now too as that same exhaustion has found soo many others too. Then sprinkle in the rest and gosh we'll be thrilled for a fresh New Year in hopes all the crappiness and evil leaves us all at least for a while...
If you're not here before Christmas I wish you Lori and the kids an extra special one this year. One of my gifts arrived a while ago when my friend made it through some crappy stuff of his own and remains here with us thank God!
Stay safe and healthy my friend hoping to join you once again for another year of mountain living there.
God bless you my friend!
I chuckled as I read about the bubblefoil haha. Lori says I'm her Knight In Shining Bubblefoil :-))
We got nearly a foot of snow and the temps have dropped to 18 degrees this morning but the fire's burning in the greenhouse and all is well down there. So happy to have that and so glad we built it.
Stay happy my friend and God Bless you.
I've been using the ones at the dollar store for at least 10 years, they last a few winters, I go walkng everyday, my friends love them also! You can buy 6 paiir
I love it. It’s a beautiful lovely garden🕊...
Jim, the Muck Arctic pro boots have the thick soles that you are looking for. Don't confuse them with the Arctic Sport.
Looks like a great spot for a chair and a book.
Absolutely.
Natz boots. I love mine and super light- Size is not he same as normal boots. I wear a size 10.5 and for Natz boots I have a size 13, skip the bubble foil and inserts, Go but the foam kids play mats and cut out many sets to put in the bottom of yer boot! Ole Trapper Trick! ;)
Stay Warm!
Season Greetings from South Alabama!
Thank you and the same to you.
Good stuff Boss.
Based on your location and your sometimes lack of sunlight.
You might look into a 12 volt LED grow light.
You could run the lights to extend day time.
Give your plants 8 to 10 hours a day of sunlight like they would get in the summer.
Those people that grow that wacky tobaky have come a long way in advancing indoor growing technology.
I may just have to do that. The plants need more light for sure.
@@thebossoftheswamp I am looking into some to start seedlings come Jan. I would like to have a better crop of tomatoes and more than last year.
