I can’t afford a high tunnel but I did get a nice 10 x 10 greenhouse on Facebook marketplace and I have a shade cloth. Following Danny’s advice and trying to grow as much as I possibly can in my small space this year.
what one did you buy? I'm looking to turn a and 8 by 4 space into a tunnel or greenhouse of some kind. Has to be considered tempoy not permanent togo in community garden area
@@tst1200 everything I have has to be temporary also. I’ve lived in the same place for 13 years but I don’t own it. This one is called quictent, and as far as the tent style greenhouses, it is very nice. There are several other people selling some decent greenhouses on Facebook marketplace. I would look there before paying full price.
I’ve watched the videos from the first high tunnel build a couple times. Working on flattening out a space since everything here slants toward the river. Loved seeing you get the high tunnels ready for warmer weather. Thanks Danny and Ms Wanda for another fine video. We so appreciate all the info y’all share. Blessings from the river swamp ❤
You can add rutabega, turnips and parsnips to your corned beef and cabbage... thank me later. I made it for an office party once and people would take up a collection to buy the ingredients for me to make it again and again. 😆 It really is the rutabega that elevates the entire dish. 💚
Danny, I really appreciate you doing this video. My husband just built me a 12'x16' cape cod roofed green house... and we have spaces saved for exhaust vents and screened hinged openings. I wasn't sure how I would vent the heat. Now I know exactly where to put everything. 🙏💚 Thank you!
Yeah my little cattle panel heats up fast and a lot...About 45 years ago i went into one that was also pumping some sort of gas into it to make the plants grow better..carbon dioxide i believe...man those plants looked great.
Good morning. It would be nice to taste a delicious tomato this time of year. We’ve got crazy weather up here in the north just like everyone else but it’s going to be mild, cold and then back to mild again. Many people are sick because this isn’t normal. I went to Longwood Gardens in PA over the weekend and it’s amazing how rich some people were/are. The DuPonts did one good thing by preserving the gardens for the public and I enjoyed it. I can’t wait to go back in the spring. Thanks for sharing your beautiful high tunnels and pretty green with us.
I have a Swiss chard that made it all through winter unprotected from any freeze, we have had 4 different times when temps got down to 13 for a few days each time and in a few days we will get temps down to 15 again for a few days. If it makes it I will save seed from it as it is actually growing to my surprise. It mostly sat under a fir trees outer branches about 12' from our RV.
Danny, I will say after watching your videos over the years I have definitely made the celebrity tomato one of my Staples. This variety of tomato is one of the most prolific Tomatoes other than cherries I have ever grown.
We're going mid to high 80s this week too.. and were just at frost for the past few days. I'm putting peas in the ground today.. moving spinach sprouts outside, taking the tomatoes that haven't sprouted to the pop up greenhouse (much warmer than in the house for now) getting peppers started.. setting up my towers for herb starts.. just waiting to get out of the 40s.
Be taking the wiggle wire off the roll up sides this week. Cuke seedlings are so strong this year but Romas are spindly. Cantaloupe slow to sprout . Everything else normal germination time.
We still have a few things to do before we can get a greenhouse, but we are working on it. Good to see you getting ready for a warm up. We still have a few more weeks.
The white powdery Mildew the bane of tropical conditions. I've got some because I have 2 Dearborns in my tunnel. Still lost the leaves on the citrus. Two banana trees gave me 9 new ones in lick tubs ready for spring. Had tomatoes all winter plus greens for my spoiled flocks. Already set a neighbor up with 6 strawberrys shooting runners. I hope I can sell enough seedlings to make back the propane. It ain't likely though.
I didn’t like rutabaga much as a kid because my dad mainly used the canned kind, but when I got older and tried it cooked fresh I realized I love it! I have 2 huge ones in my fridge right now. I might make some rutabaga home fries for lunch! When I was a kid, I thought it was pronounce ruder-beggar since that’s how my Granny used to say it. 😅
The information you are giving is so helpful. My high tunnel structure is up and I am planning and thinking about how to keep it cool and not run up my electric bill. Thanks, for all the knowledge you share.
Good morning. It's 53 and 90% humidity here heading into the upper 80s this week. Starting my seedlings today in the greenhouse. No cold in the forecast 2 weeks out. Maybe jumping the gun but that's what dining room tables are for:)
You are both an inspiration to me. I am expanding our garden this year and spent most of yesterday breaking new ground with a shovel. I live in a suburb but my goal for this year is to have about 800 square feet of gardening space, which is almost double what I have now. Thank you for your videos. Now, I'm off to break more soil. Have a blessed day.
I have never had a rutabaga. Can miss Wanda have a video about cooking them to make them taste good? I have a very picky family and would like the thyroid benefits.
March seems to be Alabama's month for snow too. I just pull my seedlings in and put them on the dining room table until warm returns...which is usually the next day or two. It's the south - it seems we go from winter to summer overnight.
On the tomato plant you plan to trim back to new shoots, why not take a few of the new shoots/suckers and root them and test grow outdoors as well knowing its all the same plant.
Danny I have overwintered 2 different tomato varieties. Unlike peppers which will double their previous years yeild, both of those tomato plants did poorly. I mean bad..... not worth the effort but a fun experiment I suppose....... good times! Rutabagas are awesome. Unless your trying to feed hogs with them because a hog will not touch a Rutabaga 😂
Danny, do you have to put the covers on the door windows when you have tropical storms or hurricanes or do you leave them open air with the screens only?
Still cold where I am. Loved hearing the birds while you were working. Do you know the difference between greenhouse plastic and the rolls and I might get at tractor supply? I'm thinking of making a cold frame or small green house with wood and plastic. Thank you
I went looking on my property and found a muscadine grape I’ve also found several mulberry and elderberry’s on my land any advice how to prune and feed I am located in Michigan
Mr. Danny, I can only use a small greenhouse because of space. When I bring my indoor seedlings out, do I put them into the greenhouse, or should I just put then in a hardening area until time to transplant (mainly brassicas) Any advice you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Blessings
It does not look like you screened in the power shutter intake for your exhaust fan. Just curious - do you have problems with insects coming in through the shutter?
I still don't iunderstand why growing in a container will be better than growing in a raised bed. Don't gamma rays penetrate the plastic of tubs and the cloth of grow bags???? And if the microbes go to the top, my raised beds are about 2 ft. tall and the soil is above twigs, stems, leaves (hugelculture- to minimize the $$$ I had to spend to fill my raised beds!). Also, are we looking at a summer from Hades, or is this the year without a summer? Mixed messages from you and David Dubyne.
I can’t afford a high tunnel but I did get a nice 10 x 10 greenhouse on Facebook marketplace and I have a shade cloth. Following Danny’s advice and trying to grow as much as I possibly can in my small space this year.
Got a video coming that may help.

Can I sit on your pond dock with a mug of coffee? My dream!!! Just so beautiful. Thank you for teaching and sharing. God bless you both.

Mrs Wanda Danny you're always a blessing.
You are a blessing of information. I cant afford the green house or high tunnels but I learn none the less. Raised bed boxes for me.
Got a video coming that may help on them.
Building my own hi tunnel /greenhouse. Be ready by March!
Awesome

Thanks for running through the details of your high tunnel. Looks like a great set-up. Cheers!
Any time!
My Aunt gave me the frame for a green house. Excited to get it up and filled with plants.

Raised in Michigan and rutabagas were used in everyday cooking. My favorite was when they were in pasties...yum!
We're going mid to high 80s this week too.. and were just at frost for the past few days. I'm putting peas in the ground today.. moving spinach sprouts outside, taking the tomatoes that haven't sprouted to the pop up greenhouse (much warmer than in the house for now) getting peppers started.. setting up my towers for herb starts.. just waiting to get out of the 40s.
Tuesday is optimum for above ground crops. Farmers almanac is gardening bible
I appreciate your videos so very much! They are such a huge help to me while I'm fine tuning my gardens and farm!!
Thank you guys for all the great advice y'all share. Have a wonderful week.
Be taking the wiggle wire off the roll up sides this week. Cuke seedlings are so strong this year but Romas are spindly. Cantaloupe slow to sprout . Everything else normal germination time.
Good Morning Mr Danny and Ms Wanda. Thanks for all of the tips for the high tunnel. They'll come in handy as we build/use ours.
Good morning!
Always enjoy watching and learning it's a never-ending experience.. thank you Danny and Wanda..🥰💕🙏
Your place is beautiful Danny and Wanda! Thank you for sharing 😃
We still have a few things to do before we can get a greenhouse, but we are working on it. Good to see you getting ready for a warm up. We still have a few more weeks.
Blessings from SW Virginia...
Ventilation fans are a must for keeping the humidity down and keeping the plants happy!!! Great video!!❤
Yes they are!
The white powdery Mildew the bane of tropical conditions. I've got some because I have 2 Dearborns in my tunnel. Still lost the leaves on the citrus. Two banana trees gave me 9 new ones in lick tubs ready for spring. Had tomatoes all winter plus greens for my spoiled flocks. Already set a neighbor up with 6 strawberrys shooting runners. I hope I can sell enough seedlings to make back the propane. It ain't likely though.
What about rooting a few cuttings from your "celebrity" tomato plant for an extra couple of vigorous plants?
Good Morning Mr. Danny and Mrs. Wanda
Good morning
You are right about not having sunshine and not seeing green. Here in Montana we take vitamin D because of the cloudiness and white with snow
There’s a lot of big green houses empty in my area that used to be used for tobacco plants. They used floating trays.
That sounds interesting.
I didn’t like rutabaga much as a kid because my dad mainly used the canned kind, but when I got older and tried it cooked fresh I realized I love it! I have 2 huge ones in my fridge right now. I might make some rutabaga home fries for lunch!
When I was a kid, I thought it was pronounce ruder-beggar since that’s how my Granny used to say it. 😅
My dad called them rude-a-bagies. I hated them. Still won’t try them now due to the unpleasant memories.
Thanks for sharing. I'm always learning something from each video. Take care and God Bless.
Bought a 16×24 high tunnel from growers solutions at x-mas. Thank you for discount. A great experience with growers solutions.
Great to hear!

Good morning, like the ventilation

Thank you Danny & Wanda! You both are an inspiration. We learn so much from you.
Thank u so much for showing the fans , ventilation and screening and tell in where u got them .. I hope mine gets built soon…
Another great video thank you Danny and Wanda
Glad you enjoyed it
Great information fir when we are able to get one.
Good morning Danny & Wanda
Good morning
Just got my pair of Round House overalls, broke them in yesterday. Going to be almost 80 degrees in northeast Tennessee on Wednesday.
85 degrees here
Thank you for all the time you take to share your knowledge and wisdom.
I have never had a rutabaga. Can miss Wanda have a video about cooking them to make them taste good? I have a very picky family and would like the thyroid benefits.
We will see if we can.
Seems like in past years with a warm February, we end up with a March blizzard out of the blue.
March seems to be Alabama's month for snow too. I just pull my seedlings in and put them on the dining room table until warm returns...which is usually the next day or two. It's the south - it seems we go from winter to summer overnight.
@@nancyp1568 I'm from Alabama too, so we both know. Lol
That's why I said you will see different seasons all in one week.
It's my first time seeing wiggle wire, thanks for sharing that small detail so I have something to research and learn about
Very useful and informative to watch you
Thanks a lot

Thank you danny and wanda ❤️ enjoyed the video.
I ordered my high tunnel!
Awesome
Thank y'all for all the tips. Blessings, julie
when i get my new greenhouse it doesn't have a fan but it's a roll up greenhouse let's see if i can make a video on my channel about it
You can do it.

cool fans! bye bye hot summer with the FANS
Fry the cubed rutabaga in bacon and garlic. Yummy
Danny what do you put on your tomatoes to get rid of aphids. Thank you. Have a good day 🙂
At this time we don't have a aphid issue but if we did I would use a soap solution.
I need to find solar powered smaller ones that work and will hold up. Even if i get several. I will never have electric in my greenhouse.
I. Know how you feel mines 150 ft away from nearest power.
Thank you for the educational tour! I need to message growers solutions about shipping but very excited!
Be sure to mention deep south homestead for your discount every penny count's.
Good morning mr and mrs wanda
Good morning!
Our green house opens up on the sides and we vented the entire ceiling to let hot air out and rain in during the wet ceiling. No electricity needed
Awesome
Danny - Will the Hi Tunnels work here in Ohio during our cold winters?
Danny, do you have to put the covers on the door windows when you have tropical storms or hurricanes or do you leave them open air with the screens only?
Great info. Our Mulberry are just blooming out. What do you feed yours?
Nothing really.
Good morning sir, do you recall where you purchased the thermometer/humidity combo you use in the high tunnels? They've been holding up for a while.
From growers solution we have a link in the description below.
Mornin Deep South 👍Would love to see more rutebaga at the farm stands near me thats for sure.
Good morning

Still cold where I am. Loved hearing the birds while you were working. Do you know the difference between greenhouse plastic and the rolls and I might get at tractor supply? I'm thinking of making a cold frame or small green house with wood and plastic. Thank you
Greenhouse plastic is UV treated.
i did not know that
Good morning ☺️
Good morning
I went looking on my property and found a muscadine grape I’ve also found several mulberry and elderberry’s on my land any advice how to prune and feed I am located in Michigan
The trees probably do not need pruning.
What is the flavor of rutabaga?
Like a turnip root

Just FYI....there is CRIMSON clover & there is RED clover.
Two different plants.
No such thing as *RED CRIMSON* clover
That's how it's labeled and sold here.
Contrails, not Chemtrails.
I bet it tast like a tomato
Oh yeah
