    Great harvest! Wish ours was that good but it wasn't a super garden year for us. Site prepping for our cabin this weekend. Those windows are going to be awesome! We want to put some big ones in our place too so we can enjoy the outdoors all year. Cheers!

    Great haul from your garden. I pulled my potatoes and carrots a couple of days ago. There is something so satisfying eating what you have grown. I bet the Black Swallowtail Butterflies liked all that dill you grew. Cabin is going to look awesome with the new windows. Have a great week Chris and Kristie.

      We’ve been picking away at the potatoes and carrots just for a meal here or there.
      Nobody thinned the carrots lol there’s a TON of tiny carrots. 🥕
      The potatoes didn’t do as well at all. But that’s ok. There’s always next year.
      There is a lot of those butterfly’s around! I didn’t know they liked dill! Added bonus!

    Good to hear the frost is staying away :) Some things in my parts got just a touch Yes -0c but mine still hanging on :) & nope I have lots of dill it just comes back year after year ! Just pick some of the mature seeds & throw them around with a little moisture in the spring you will be blessed again :) Good deal finding the windows, I've seen a sign ; I have a gun & own a backhoe get the hint lol, Take care out there"

    I very much like your videos and admire the workload you are taking upon yourself.
    I live in Norway and it is one thing that puzzles me. I see signs saying "Private property" In Norway we are about 5.4 millions inhabitans. We have about 440 000 cabins. Nowhere you can see signs about private property. We are thinking that everyone has to know wether he owns the cabin or not.
