If there is any European watching Rutabaga is swede/ Swedish turnip. I love them mashed with carrot and pork broth served with salted pork or in soups.
The long radish is DAI-KON. Love this. They are huge, long radish, sweet, "soil tillers". If you have hard land, planting daikon across it, will dig down and loosen up the whole land. Chop off the leaves, and allow the radish to die and de-compose, and you have some great naturally softened land.
Good tip John! Daikon is fantastic when cut up julienne and added with julienne carrots then pickled using a quick pickle 👍 give it a go you might like it. Obviously that's not going to help people that are trying to soften their land, just thought you might be interested in possibly a new way for you to enjoy daikon

@@johnlord8337 yikes, what a reply! You are making me very hungry thinking about all of that delicious food. I haven't tried the watermelon skin but have heard that some people eat it like that. I'm no where near the time of having those issues but that's interesting to hear. I have heard that red peppers are meant to be very good for prostate issues, according to someone that stopped me at the supermarket in my 20's. Green peppers have their place, but red in my opinion taste the best, I like yellow and am yet to find orange ones in my area (maybe I'm not looking hard enough), but green definitely rank the lowest. I love melons, especially a perfect honey due or a perfect cantaloupe. Your method sounded delicious as well
You both are so organized and work so hard. Because you try to do things well, sadly in this world, it opens you up to criticism and naysayers. Know in your heart that you are both doing your best and have many prayers and much support. Not many channels like yours and Danny and Wandas make it to this level. Keep the faith and God bless.
I wouldn't move the buckets and use as a table for when you get ready to plant seedings. Maybe get something like cattle panels and over the buckets and place trays of seedings on top, less bending that way.
I think when they get ready to plant seedlings there will still be plants in the pots so you cant put something on top of the buckets. 🤷♀️But it is a great idea.
@@kimberlybender7046 l think the spring plantings are in small pots to sell at the farmers market.. Waist-high surface on sawhorses would be about right.
You could definitely do that in the fall, but it would be way too hot to do that in the summer. That little bit of height makes a big difference in heat effects.
I love the tee shirt!! Yes he lives!! The grave is empty! God bless y'all. BTW, I really enjoy your channel and all the knowledge you are sharing. You taught me how to make tomato juice and I love it!!
How awesome to be able to grow food during the winter time. I'll be canning tomato sauce this weekend. I won't be able to process all of them. So next weekend hopefully I'll finish. Last year I got 6 tomatoes. This year I was able to get 23 bags of homegrown tomatoes in my freezer to process in batches. The tomatoes are still coming in. I'd say I've had a successful tomato harvest compared to last year. Enjoy your family time while planting. Have a blessed weekend.
Good Morning ! The big green house is looking great. Picturing how it will look when every bucket has things growing up and out. God Bless and give God the glory.
You mentioned radish greens a year or two ago Radishes are too spicy for me as are radish sprouts. But, since your video, I have been harvesting radish greens and mixing them in with my alfalfa sprouts and they are diluted to make a nice less sweet alfalfa sprout salad. It takes a bit getting used to with their fuzzy leaves. I agree, a salad in winter is great. I eat alfalfa sprouts every day. Since I am an indoor gardener in an apartment, I grow them in my unused dishwasher using quart mason jars with special sprout lids you can buy. During the winter, I start a quart jar with 3 tblsps alfalfa seeds every day. In the summer, I buy veggies from the farmers market and start a quart every other day. They are ready in six days, 1 day soaking on counter top, 4 days growing in dark dishwasher, 1 day greening in the light. I water the ones in the dishwasher 2x a day. Assuming you have a frost free refrigerator, I store unused sprouts on a plate with a paper towel under the sprouts and a paper plate or paper towel covering most of the sprout. My family loves the fresh alfalfa sprouts and I grow extra jars for them.
They are Daikon radish. They grow extremely large and are wonderful in soups. Look up the Daikon radish on Hollis and Nancy's Homestead. You will see how large they can get.
Daikon radish have a long tap root that is used by farmers to breakup hard pan in soils and absorb / store nutrients to be released as they decay over the non growing season . When they decay they give off an odor that smells like natural gas , large fields decaying have prompted people to call the gas company to report a suspected gas leak .
I actually grow that Japanese Daikon radish here in hawaii. it's not as spicy as Korean radish. The leaves are the best! We grate the daikon and put it on grilled fish. It's a very typical Japanese preparation for fish. My family is Japanese so we eat a lot of daikon. I think you'll enjoy it.
If you have never tried it you should really do a rutabaga mash. Treat it same way you would potatoes to do a mash with same spices and make sure you mash it up well. Goes wonderful with bacon/pork belly. If you find the taste too sharp you can mix in 1/3 potatoes with the rutabaga. It is a lovely way to eat them.
One could easily grow mangels (huge sugar beets) in those containers. You have huge beet greens comparable to the collards, but also the massive 15-25# beet roots (that are grown in N Dakota for the beet sugar industry) provide massive beet juice, beet root meat, and both beet and collard greens. Critters first tasting mangel slices (like red candy) will come running if they see you divvying up mangel slices. Excellent cow and pig treat foods. A great option is freeze drying the slices into beet chips and turning into beet powder. Healthy food option.
Can (and should) grow these alongside daikon radishes in hard soil, and both veggies work together with soil-breaking, and are complimentary vegs. Large leaves of both plants keep soil shaded and moist. Daikon deep roots gather water that is also shared with huge mangel beets, while sugary mangel beets share sugars with daikons making them bigger and deeper as well. If you grown both, then compost the leaves, and decay the roots, you will have some sweet, moist, and soft soil that can be rototillers (down to the axles !) or disced and overturned for some very dynamic soil for the next planted harvest. Pickle both sliced mangels and sliced daikon with thick onions, sliced carrots, etc and you will have some spectacular chews in the future.
The tub system was originally started by Leon of Gardening with Leon. He's an elderly gentleman that Daniel Arms of Arms family homestead gave credit for his tub system. Nobody else has bothered to mention him but that's where it originally came from. He has some great videos out about gardening in tubs. EDIT: Leon will guide you what type of soil you need to use along with what additives. He specializes in tub gardening.
I agree, I watched his videos, this lovely gentleman Leon is so generous with sharing how to use those cattle tubs, wish I could get them down under, sadly not used here.
IMHO It'd be worth the little bit of extra effort to place the frost free hydrant actually inside the greenhouse. Seems to me that's where you'll be using the water more. It'd keep all your watering equipment warmer and if placed properly still allow easy access to outside the greenhouse when you really needed it. Your setup looks great. Thanks for the vid
Do you sense some jealousy coming from the northern gardeners like me? Your setup looks awesome! I've already emptied my greenhouse except for some lettuce & kale. Got tired of heating it overnight & the temps are dipping down to freezing most nights. Just have root veggies & cabbage left outside. Enjoy all that produce overwinter!🥰
@@renamaemcdonald2075 Please understand that each layer of protection you put over your plants/garden is one grow zone. I live in Rocky Mountain House AB (grow zone 3a) certainly harsher than you but I bought a car shade garage thing. It is 10 by 20 and I plan to have real greenhouse plastic on the outside and 'vapour barrier on the inside" . (that is 2 grow zones). And my (hopefully) heating compost pile ( 1 to 2 grow zones) so I hope I can still grow things in winter. You would still be able to have an active greenhouse in the middle of winter. God Bless you because I could never live where you do. God Bless Everyone!!!
@@NordeggSonya thanks for the suggestions. We do use 2 water barrels as a heat sink in our greenhouse but don't have the space or setup for a compost pile in there. Our compost pile outside is still a bit warm but it will be freezing soon I'm sure unless we have a very warm fall.
I know it will be some extra work, however you will thank yourself later if you also place a frost proof outlet within the greenhouse. The convenience will pay back many times over. In mentioning pH correction you should be aware of research that shows varying pH is more harmful to the plants than maintaining a level pH, even if it is slightly out of your desired range. Your setup with multiple buckets planted to the same varieties offers a great setup to see if this holds for your situation. By adjusting one half of your crop and not adjusting the other half you will have a great research situation. A very nice setup that will offer years of enjoyment.
The di 'Difficult names' reflect their history and provenance. Rouge d'hiver...(pronounced rooge deevair') means red of/in winter, in French for example.
I rented a country house once that had a small greenhouse attached to the South side. They had black metal barrels filled with water along the house wall so they heated up during the day and a big patio door could be opened to allow residual heat to help heat the living room. I think these could help keep a greenhouse warmer at night.
It all looks wonderful! I can't believe Grace is in college! I just looked back at my first liked video of you guys and the girls were so young, Kevin was grilling rabbit and you made a sumac lemonade tasting drink!
Can you do a video explaining how you planned your irrigation system for those buckets and what specifically you used? I have a mix of containers and beds and am not sure how to go about setting up an irrigation system. Thanks!
Those that are negative toward the soil that they purchase. Remember they know what they are doing. Just bless them that they can provide for themselves. God bless you all and ty for the tip to fix the pH balance on the soil!!!!!
Kellogg raised bed organic mix is so under rated. i discovered it many garden years ago. its all i use now for my raised bed garden and use in my oversized wood barrels garden too. excellent growing medium. Love what you've done with your green house. HAPPY GARDENING!
I get giddy with excitement just watching you plan and plant, like it's my own garden. I swear buying seed packets gets my heart racing. I just love the hope and possibilities that comes in every seed packet. And that new greenhouse is so beautiful and majestic, I think of it as your church garden. Gardening can bring us closer to our Creator. 💜
Paris Island lettuce-my favorite to grow!! And I second the roasting of radishes if you don’t like them fresh. Easiest things to grow too, as they come to harvest so quickly!
I grew butternut squash this year, my favorite winter squash, and thought the seed company put the wrong seeds in the packet. The plant put out these pumpkin shaped squash that is the color of butternut. I finally found my seed packet and found out it is Butterkin which is a cross between pumpkin and butternut. I look forward to eating them throughout the winter.
Sounds yummy. I only grew honeynut its like a mini butternut but much richer flavor. Online it said its a cross with butternut and buttercup in it. But its just me and hubby now so these are just perfect for us for dinner as sides and if I am alone its perfect main course with a few veg and bit of protein. I do have several wonderful road side farm produce stands and can buy all types of squash as I do think they all taste different. But only room to grow one type a year.
@@Emeraldwitch30 I am like you and have only room for one type of vining squash per year. I hope this Butterkin squash is a good one because I have lots!
@@ceepark114 ive been watching deep south Homestead and have seriously thought about investing in a packet of their Cherokee Tans. But $10 for one packet of seeds is a bit against my frugal nature lol but once I grew it and hand pollinated and protect those fruit I'd have it for ever lol. I swear I might need an intervention about my seed/gardening obsession 🤔 🤣 Naw. There are worse hobbies!
I hope you know how lovely it is to watch your progress and daily 'events' with your homesteading endeavors. As a ''senior citizen'', I am inspired and heartend watching your TH-cam channel. You are doing things I had always wanted to do, but "life" happened and didn't exactly turn out as I had expected. I am not complaining; I appreciate the life lessons that have come my way. But, luckily, I can tune to your channel and joyously 'experience' vicariously thru your experiences. God Bless you all. Thank you, dear hearts!
Just LOVE watching and learning through your videos. I honestly feel like a little kid on a field trip every time!!! Thank you for all your hard work and sharing with all of us. ❤️ by the way the soil mix you used is my all time favorite but I have not been able to find it anywhere this year. That mix will produce excellently for you.
Hi Guys it loks so lovely and Neat. Your T matches the Buckets Kevin lol x Greag idea about the Vinegar..Your watering Systen is great . Wd use White Vinegar with water to clean the Microve, but it smells lol great for Cleaning the Sink too x
Put a tomato cage in the pots with cucumbers and put a clear trash bag over them while the greenhouse is still warm in the afternoons and remove them if it gets too warm. Another option is to put a gallon of warm/hot water in there with the plants at dusk.
We are building our first chicken coop, and then our first greenhouse…..really excited about becoming more self sufficient. Love what you guys are doing.
Great video!! We grow in 5 gal and 3 gal on grow tables. Here in central Texas it's a great way to avoid fire ants and other bugs. We grow both on the ground and on grow tables. We change out the soil once per year and put the used in our compost. When we mix we add Black Cow, bone meal, blood meal water in with horticultural molasses and liquid fish and seaweed. Because it so hot here we also spray the foliage with seaweed. We love the channel and yawl are great. God Bless!
Hi Sarah and Kevin. I guess I'm a gluten for punishment because I bought me one of those Greenhouses. I bought a 20 ft. x 20 ft. with high side walls. In time I will get a couple more and put them end to end. I wanted one of those just like yours but It is a chunk of money which I don't have because I am saving to get a couple of Jersey's and two pairs of those Idaho Pasture Pigs for our private breeding stock. Thanks for steering me in the right direction I would have never known about those pigs without your help. Jessie from Arkansas.
I can picture how beautiful this will look when all the seeds sprout. Can't wait to see it. Are you going to need a trellis for the peas?? If so, how are you going to do that?? Great video. Thanks.
Amazing greenhouse! Mine isn’t that big and I wish that would have used big pots instead of raised beds. I love the long radishes and they make great kimchi. About half of my greenhouse is going to be kale and spinach.
You guys are amazing really, I have watched you guys for years , go from a small farm to where you are now, very impressed with you guys, God bless your whole family and farm.
I’m not sure of all these varieties, but a few of them are open pollinated I know. Hopefully you can let some of it go to seed and in a few years, you will have significantly reduced your purchased seed burden.
I have been an heirloom seed saver since 2008 and I swear its an addiction. I still buy a ton of seeds to try each year while I save seeds. Many things can be grown out every 3 to 5 years in a rotation but im still always growing my old favorites I save from year to year and new things every year. His Japanese radishes will probably big diakon types. But they are outstanding roasted in winter and should grow nicely all winter there.
Only 2 buckets of beets? I need the whole row for beets! LOL Do you think I like beets? This greenhouse is a game changer. Excited to see more as the season progresses.
If you have trouble with the soil drying out too fast before germination, you can lay burlap over the top of the soil and wet it down. That should help.
Great job Kevin and Sarah, enjoyed your video. We were in your area this past week, we had a family get together in Branson and visited around there and Springfield some. Enjoyed your weather and beautiful country. It was all downhill from Harrison ! Thanks for sharing with us, looking forward to seeing your winter harvesting and enjoying fresh veggies. Show us your baking method please. Stay safe and keep up the good work and videos. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👋👋👏🏻👏🏻
Looking good. The 30 to 40 gal. black trash containers filled water, placed throughout the greenhouse, heats up in the daytime and gives off heat at night .
Looks great. I like drip systems and have had them for over 30 years. Right now, my irrigation system needs new valves so I am hand watering my yard which takes me an hour and a half. It really is a time saver to have automatic watering. I am glad you pointed out that even with irrigation, it may not work as well with seeds because the surface of the soil dries out so fast. That mix especially has that problem of the top drying out. I like most of your seed choices and I grow 80% of my own vegetables and herbs in pots as well and only 20% in ground. Large pots allow me to maximize the use of my space and I prefer to keep perennials out of the in ground bed. It is just easier to redo the whole in ground bed at one time and not go around plants that live longer.
You know, almost every TH-cam video I see has a certain amount of "thumbs down" and I ask myself why would anyone thumbs down a video like this? Nice people, informative content and pretty scenery. What's not to like. Are people doing this just to be jerks? I mean, what the heck?
Sometimes people do it accidentally. Sometimes people are jealous of successful channels or they got their nose out of joint. Who knows? But it doesn’t really matter, the content creator gets the same benefit from thumbs down as they do thumbs up.
It would be a very good experiment for you to do 6 buckets with a different soil, or even a 50/50 mix of soil and the Kellogg’s. And the idea of placing panels and tables over the top in the spring is excellent. Then you have tons of room for seedlings.
I grow everything in containers. I'm really loving fabric grow pots now. Do not have to put holes in them. They end up being cheaper in the long run. Amazon I can get them for about $5 each or from a TH-camr a little more, like the smart pots. I always add things to my potting soil like worm castings, egg shells, bone meal, Epsom salt, compost & them wood chips on top.
I sometimes seem a Debby Downer when you talk about weather. Seriously, today when u gave your season 6!!! Wow. I compare to when my dad grew up around Ava, back then they called the area 5. Also my own young days in the Ozarks similar... where I live now is 5, but we used to be in a kinda small circle of 5 amid 4! The weather has really changed/evolved? Over the last 60-85 years! Admire how much you do, we used to think we did well... but we did raise all our meat, but not even a fraction what u 2 do with veg!!! Such good stewards of the land
I just found your channel, and I am learning so much about the green house and how to use the greenhouse. I plan to buy a greenhouse and your channel will be very good for me. Thank you and God bless you guys.
Both of you are great teachers...and so interesting. Dutch and Kevin from near Sulfur OK are gathering more homesteaders for a big gathering in March of 2022. I hope you will get information about it, which is now in the planning stage. Near Pryor, OK at a large event building there. They plan to have mini teach and demo stations, plus adult area along with children section. You two would add so much to the event. Check it out soon. Hidden Heights Kevin n Rachel, Dutch n Brandi at Making it Dutch...
I have always had nothing but trouble with the Kellog soil as well. It usually just seems to be not nearly broken down far enough yet and soaks up the nitrogen to break down the wood. Long term it should be alright though once you get it right.
I don't have a farm, ranch or garden but I truly, thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Everything about your videos is just terrific and appreciated. Many thanks.
Thank you for mentioning the holes in the side of the bucket. That makes so much sense to me yet people i try to explain it to insist the holes need to be on the bottom. My pots have holes with landscape fabric covering the hole from the inside and yes, they are a couple inches from the bottom.
Kevin, if you want to help your greenhouse to retain warmth from solar gain in the winter, you can suspend some bubble wrap plastic below the roof of your greenhouse and over the exterior walls. I know that last year you used plastic row covers, and that is great, the bubble wrap plastic just acts like a blanket to slow the heat loss at night, and since it is clear it let's the light in to warm the soil under the black seed barrier and the black containers.
I grow a lot in Pots, mostly shrubbery, & what I have found is the main thing is free drainage, The best I have found is shredded pine bark. Most everything else holds too much water. On the west coast, they use fur bark. you can use any fertilizer you want, thoe it must be slow-release,
I make my own mix for seedlings etc..... I use a 2 gallon bucket for measurement.... 12 parts peat moss (1 bale), 1 part perlite, 1 part vermiculite, 1/2 part crushed limestone for calcium and magnesium, 1/2 part coarse sand, and fertilizer of your choice (I use 20-20-20)...... roughly 10 gallons of water to hydrate, mix well.......
The new greenhouse looks beautiful and wonderful! I cannot wait to watch it grow. I am excited to watch the fall and winter harvests! So happy to hear that Grace is coming home! I imagine she misses the time spent gardening and cooking and the family time in general. God Bless y’all. ❤️ ~Sharon
I don’t have space for much of a garden, but live vicariously through you both. I love how you work together and enjoy the process while allowing for differing preferences. I wish you a bountiful winter season🤗
I love watching Deep south homestead to so much good information they give, I'm glad your showing the tips on containers exspecialy about the holes in the side instead of the bottoms, we appreciate all your help your friends in SC🥰💐
I'm so happy for you. This greenhouse, the buckets, and all the Winter produce are such a blessing...just as you both are to us! Thank you for sharing this video! You are an inspiration.
The green house looks great. I await with excitement to see all the vegetables growing in this green house this winter. Enjoy your time with Grace and your other daughter and send them my regards.
Thank You for sharing. I have learned so much from You . I’m planting winter vegetables in planter boxes living in California in Sacramrnto area is a challenge but I’ve used Kellogg’s products and my summer vegetables did great! God Bless You and your family

I wouldn't move the buckets and use as a table for when you get ready to plant seedings. Maybe get something like cattle panels and over the buckets and place trays of seedings on top, less bending that way.
Or maybe saw-horse legs to straddle the tubs, raising work level....that way, no bending at all

I love the tee shirt!! Yes he lives!! The grave is empty! God bless y'all. BTW, I really enjoy your channel and all the knowledge you are sharing. You taught me how to make tomato juice and I love it!!
How awesome to be able to grow food during the winter time. I'll be canning tomato sauce this weekend. I won't be able to process all of them. So next weekend hopefully I'll finish. Last year I got 6 tomatoes. This year I was able to get 23 bags of homegrown tomatoes in my freezer to process in batches. The tomatoes are still coming in. I'd say I've had a successful tomato harvest compared to last year. Enjoy your family time while planting. Have a blessed weekend.
Love the big smile Sarah got when you said Grace was coming home for a visit. Enjoy your visit and may God bless your family.💖
Good Morning ! The big green house is looking great. Picturing how it will look when every bucket has things growing up and out. God Bless and give God the glory.
You mentioned radish greens a year or two ago Radishes are too spicy for me as are radish sprouts. But, since your video, I have been harvesting radish greens and mixing them in with my alfalfa sprouts and they are diluted to make a nice less sweet alfalfa sprout salad. It takes a bit getting used to with their fuzzy leaves.
I agree, a salad in winter is great. I eat alfalfa sprouts every day. Since I am an indoor gardener in an apartment, I grow them in my unused dishwasher using quart mason jars with special sprout lids you can buy. During the winter, I start a quart jar with 3 tblsps alfalfa seeds every day. In the summer, I buy veggies from the farmers market and start a quart every other day. They are ready in six days, 1 day soaking on counter top, 4 days growing in dark dishwasher, 1 day greening in the light. I water the ones in the dishwasher 2x a day.
Assuming you have a frost free refrigerator, I store unused sprouts on a plate with a paper towel under the sprouts and a paper plate or paper towel covering most of the sprout.
My family loves the fresh alfalfa sprouts and I grow extra jars for them.
As weird as it sounds if you roast radishes they lose their bite and are used for many, many alternatives to potatoes in keto diets.
You can also eat the radish seed pods they're more mild in flavor.
They are Daikon radish. They grow extremely large and are wonderful in soups. Look up the Daikon radish on Hollis and Nancy's Homestead. You will see how large they can get.
I do so enjoy Hollis and Nancy’s Homestead channel. They have built a nice homestead together and they seem such a sweet couple.
Daikon radish is very good pickled
Daikon radish have a long tap root that is used by farmers to breakup hard pan in soils and absorb / store nutrients to be released as they decay over the non growing season . When they decay they give off an odor that smells like natural gas , large fields decaying have prompted people to call the gas company to report a suspected gas leak .
Even looks like you can put hanging pots on the cross pipes! Would keep the greenhouse held down in weather!👍
We’re in zone 6b as well I just checked.
I actually grow that Japanese Daikon radish here in hawaii. it's not as spicy as Korean radish. The leaves are the best! We grate the daikon and put it on grilled fish. It's a very typical Japanese preparation for fish. My family is Japanese so we eat a lot of daikon. I think you'll enjoy it.
If you have never tried it you should really do a rutabaga mash. Treat it same way you would potatoes to do a mash with same spices and make sure you mash it up well. Goes wonderful with bacon/pork belly. If you find the taste too sharp you can mix in 1/3 potatoes with the rutabaga. It is a lovely way to eat them.
I love mashed rutabagas. They have been a New England Thanksgiving staple in my family for generations.
Sounds delicious!
I love that you are using salt lick buckets. Recycling what is in your area:)
One could easily grow mangels (huge sugar beets) in those containers. You have huge beet greens comparable to the collards, but also the massive 15-25# beet roots (that are grown in N Dakota for the beet sugar industry) provide massive beet juice, beet root meat, and both beet and collard greens. Critters first tasting mangel slices (like red candy) will come running if they see you divvying up mangel slices. Excellent cow and pig treat foods. A great option is freeze drying the slices into beet chips and turning into beet powder. Healthy food option.
Those sound delicious
Can (and should) grow these alongside daikon radishes in hard soil, and both veggies work together with soil-breaking, and are complimentary vegs. Large leaves of both plants keep soil shaded and moist. Daikon deep roots gather water that is also shared with huge mangel beets, while sugary mangel beets share sugars with daikons making them bigger and deeper as well. If you grown both, then compost the leaves, and decay the roots, you will have some sweet, moist, and soft soil that can be rototillers (down to the axles !) or disced and overturned for some very dynamic soil for the next planted harvest.
Pickle both sliced mangels and sliced daikon with thick onions, sliced carrots, etc and you will have some spectacular chews in the future.

The tub system was originally started by Leon of Gardening with Leon. He's an elderly gentleman that Daniel Arms of Arms family homestead gave credit for his tub system. Nobody else has bothered to mention him but that's where it originally came from. He has some great videos out about gardening in tubs.
EDIT: Leon will guide you what type of soil you need to use along with what additives. He specializes in tub gardening.
Arms Family Homestead is very helpful to with the tub system. By the way, he has the same number of subscribers as you, 590K+.
I agree, I watched his videos, this lovely gentleman Leon is so generous with sharing how to use those cattle tubs, wish I could get them down under, sadly not used here.
Marie Henriksen Thank you for that information!
Nope!! My dad did it first!!!
I love Leon!!!
Good morning LTH! Woke up to 63 degrees here in southern Texas this morning! Thank you Lord for the refreshment.
IMHO It'd be worth the little bit of extra effort to place the frost free hydrant actually inside the greenhouse. Seems to me that's where you'll be using the water more. It'd keep all your watering equipment warmer and if placed properly still allow easy access to outside the greenhouse when you really needed it.
Your setup looks great. Thanks for the vid
That is what I would do as well.
That’s what my husband did for me.
¹
Do you sense some jealousy coming from the northern gardeners like me? Your setup looks awesome! I've already emptied my greenhouse except for some lettuce & kale. Got tired of heating it overnight & the temps are dipping down to freezing most nights. Just have root veggies & cabbage left outside. Enjoy all that produce overwinter!🥰
I don't know if it would be any use to you. I once saw a greenhouse heated with a compost pile. Hope it is helpful.
@@Deadcntr that's a good idea, but we live in zone 1b - 0a (Whitehorse Yukon, Canada). Even compost piles freeze solid in the winter😊
@@renamaemcdonald2075 Please understand that each layer of protection you put over your plants/garden is one grow zone. I live in Rocky Mountain House AB (grow zone 3a) certainly harsher than you but I bought a car shade garage thing. It is 10 by 20 and I plan to have real greenhouse plastic on the outside and 'vapour barrier on the inside" . (that is 2 grow zones). And my (hopefully) heating compost pile ( 1 to 2 grow zones) so I hope I can still grow things in winter. You would still be able to have an active greenhouse in the middle of winter. God Bless you because I could never live where you do. God Bless Everyone!!!
@@NordeggSonya thanks for the suggestions. We do use 2 water barrels as a heat sink in our greenhouse but don't have the space or setup for a compost pile in there. Our compost pile outside is still a bit warm but it will be freezing soon I'm sure unless we have a very warm fall.
@@Deadcntr ---I've heard of wrapping a larger tree or plant in a string of Xmas lights then cover with a blanket on severe cold nights.
I know it will be some extra work, however you will thank yourself later if you also place a frost proof outlet within the greenhouse. The convenience will pay back many times over.
In mentioning pH correction you should be aware of research that shows varying pH is more harmful to the plants than maintaining a level pH, even if it is slightly out of your desired range. Your setup with multiple buckets planted to the same varieties offers a great setup to see if this holds for your situation. By adjusting one half of your crop and not adjusting the other half you will have a great research situation.
A very nice setup that will offer years of enjoyment.
The di
'Difficult names' reflect their history and provenance. Rouge d'hiver...(pronounced rooge deevair') means red of/in winter, in French for example.
I rented a country house once that had a small greenhouse attached to the South side. They had black metal barrels filled with water along the house wall so they heated up during the day and a big patio door could be opened to allow residual heat to help heat the living room. I think these could help keep a greenhouse warmer at night.
That’s a great idea! They could put more buckets with trash bags inside to fill with water.
Lot of good winter salads coming up. So anxious to see those beautiful buckets grow full of wonderful vegetables. God Bless!
It all looks wonderful! I can't believe Grace is in college! I just looked back at my first liked video of you guys and the girls were so young, Kevin was grilling rabbit and you made a sumac lemonade tasting drink!
Can you do a video explaining how you planned your irrigation system for those buckets and what specifically you used? I have a mix of containers and beds and am not sure how to go about setting up an irrigation system. Thanks!
I would like to see that too
Yes, he says nozzle, but so many different kinds and how do you go from the big tubes to the smaller ones, etc.
If you go to Garden Answer she has a ton of videos on how to set up irrigation like this
Those that are negative toward the soil that they purchase. Remember they know what they are doing. Just bless them that they can provide for themselves. God bless you all and ty for the tip to fix the pH balance on the soil!!!!!
I cant wait to see how these are doing in a few weeks!!! Bless you both, I love watching your family work together.
Great scripture verse shirt. Your new greenhouse is awesome.
Kellogg raised bed organic mix is so under rated. i discovered it many garden years ago. its all i use now for my raised bed garden and use in my oversized wood barrels garden too. excellent growing medium. Love what you've done with your green house. HAPPY GARDENING!
I get giddy with excitement just watching you plan and plant, like it's my own garden. I swear buying seed packets gets my heart racing. I just love the hope and possibilities that comes in every seed packet. And that new greenhouse is so beautiful and majestic, I think of it as your church garden. Gardening can bring us closer to our Creator. 💜
Paris Island lettuce-my favorite to grow!! And I second the roasting of radishes if you don’t like them fresh. Easiest things to grow too, as they come to harvest so quickly!
Thanks for the bucket drainage info….I was struggling in the real heat keeping even moisture in the buckets
Green house is awesome, food year round. Love the videos of your farm and growing food. The animals are awesome too.
So excited for you guys! I wish you a glorious and plentiful harvest!! And thanks for the vinegar in water idea!
Yes, thank you!
So excited to be able to watch the plants grow in this green house. Thank for taking us along with you
I grew butternut squash this year, my favorite winter squash, and thought the seed company put the wrong seeds in the packet. The plant put out these pumpkin shaped squash that is the color of butternut. I finally found my seed packet and found out it is Butterkin which is a cross between pumpkin and butternut. I look forward to eating them throughout the winter.
Sounds yummy. I only grew honeynut its like a mini butternut but much richer flavor. Online it said its a cross with butternut and buttercup in it.
But its just me and hubby now so these are just perfect for us for dinner as sides and if I am alone its perfect main course with a few veg and bit of protein.
I do have several wonderful road side farm produce stands and can buy all types of squash as I do think they all taste different. But only room to grow one type a year.
@@Emeraldwitch30 I am like you and have only room for one type of vining squash per year. I hope this Butterkin squash is a good one because I have lots!
@@ceepark114 ive been watching deep south Homestead and have seriously thought about investing in a packet of their Cherokee Tans. But $10 for one packet of seeds is a bit against my frugal nature lol but once I grew it and hand pollinated and protect those fruit I'd have it for ever lol.
I swear I might need an intervention about my seed/gardening obsession 🤔 🤣
Naw. There are worse hobbies!
I hope you know how lovely it is to watch your progress and daily 'events' with your homesteading endeavors. As a ''senior citizen'', I am inspired and heartend watching your TH-cam channel. You are doing things I had always wanted to do, but "life" happened and didn't exactly turn out as I had expected. I am not complaining; I appreciate the life lessons that have come my way. But, luckily, I can tune to your channel and joyously 'experience' vicariously thru your experiences. God Bless you all. Thank you, dear hearts!
Just LOVE watching and learning through your videos. I honestly feel like a little kid on a field trip every time!!! Thank you for all your hard work and sharing with all of us. ❤️ by the way the soil mix you used is my all time favorite but I have not been able to find it anywhere this year. That mix will produce excellently for you.
Hi Guys it loks so lovely and Neat. Your T matches the Buckets Kevin lol x Greag idea about the Vinegar..Your watering Systen is great
. Wd use White Vinegar with water to clean the Microve, but it smells lol great for Cleaning the Sink too x
Put a tomato cage in the pots with cucumbers and put a clear trash bag over them while the greenhouse is still warm in the afternoons and remove them if it gets too warm. Another option is to put a gallon of warm/hot water in there with the plants at dusk.
We are building our first chicken coop, and then our first greenhouse…..really excited about becoming more self sufficient. Love what you guys are doing.
Great video!! We grow in 5 gal and 3 gal on grow tables. Here in central Texas it's a great way to avoid fire ants and other bugs. We grow both on the ground and on grow tables. We change out the soil once per year and put the used in our compost. When we mix we add Black Cow, bone meal, blood meal water in with horticultural molasses and liquid fish and seaweed. Because it so hot here we also spray the foliage with seaweed. We love the channel and yawl are great. God Bless!
Hi Sarah and Kevin. I guess I'm a gluten for punishment because I bought me one of those Greenhouses. I bought a 20 ft. x 20 ft. with high side walls. In time I will get a couple more and put them end to end. I wanted one of those just like yours but It is a chunk of money which I don't have because I am saving to get a couple of Jersey's and two pairs of those Idaho Pasture Pigs for our private breeding stock. Thanks for steering me in the right direction I would have never known about those pigs without your help. Jessie from Arkansas.
That greenhouse is amazing, im glad for you and im sure it will prove invaluable.
I can picture how beautiful this will look when all the seeds sprout. Can't wait to see it. Are you going to need a trellis for the peas?? If so, how are you going to do that?? Great video. Thanks.
Following
Right? I will feel just as proud of it as if I had done it, lol!!! 💜
Amazing greenhouse! Mine isn’t that big and I wish that would have used big pots instead of raised beds. I love the long radishes and they make great kimchi. About half of my greenhouse is going to be kale and spinach.
You guys are amazing really, I have watched you guys for years , go from a small farm to where you are now, very impressed with you guys, God bless your whole family and farm.
I love the rouge lettuce,!
I’m not sure of all these varieties, but a few of them are open pollinated I know. Hopefully you can let some of it go to seed and in a few years, you will have significantly reduced your purchased seed burden.
Yes...I was wondering how much did they spend in seeds...
I have been an heirloom seed saver since 2008 and I swear its an addiction. I still buy a ton of seeds to try each year while I save seeds.
Many things can be grown out every 3 to 5 years in a rotation but im still always growing my old favorites I save from year to year and new things every year.
His Japanese radishes will probably big diakon types. But they are outstanding roasted in winter and should grow nicely all winter there.
I know they have saved lots of other seeds so I would expect if they can they will.
They save a lot of seeds each year.
Only 2 buckets of beets? I need the whole row for beets! LOL Do you think I like beets? This greenhouse is a game changer. Excited to see more as the season progresses.
I planted about 10 short rows in my raised beds👀 hoping they do well. I want to can all the beets!! Yum
If you have trouble with the soil drying out too fast before germination, you can lay burlap over the top of the soil and wet it down. That should help.
Great job Kevin and Sarah, enjoyed your video. We were in your area this past week, we had a family get together in Branson and visited around there and Springfield some. Enjoyed your weather and beautiful country. It was all downhill from Harrison ! Thanks for sharing with us, looking forward to seeing your winter harvesting and enjoying fresh veggies. Show us your baking method please. Stay safe and keep up the good work and videos. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👋👋👏🏻👏🏻
Kevin....you should build a nice big round jig for those pots using the square foot planting method. That would be awesome.
I'm so happy for this glorious sight! Potential is such an encouraging thing.
Everything is so neat and clean!
Beautiful greenhouse! God bless your family ! I salute you hardworking people. You are my heroes ( Offgrid)
You could use the buckets as benches for the seedlings. That way you don't have to move them in and out!!!
Looking good. The 30 to 40 gal. black trash containers filled water, placed throughout the greenhouse, heats up in the daytime and gives off heat at night .
Green House looks Wonderful Have a Wonderful Time with Grace glad she is close to come home for visits
Can't wait to see your high tunnel loaded with lots of great food. Ours does so good in the winter. Your going to love it.
😎
This is what im into
I wish I had space for this at my house. I've been given space to grow at my uncles house. I'm hoping I can talk him into a greenhouse
Smart pots would have given you better grows
I put a few worms in each container..
Looks great. I like drip systems and have had them for over 30 years. Right now, my irrigation system needs new valves so I am hand watering my yard which takes me an hour and a half. It really is a time saver to have automatic watering. I am glad you pointed out that even with irrigation, it may not work as well with seeds because the surface of the soil dries out so fast. That mix especially has that problem of the top drying out. I like most of your seed choices and I grow 80% of my own vegetables and herbs in pots as well and only 20% in ground. Large pots allow me to maximize the use of my space and I prefer to keep perennials out of the in ground bed. It is just easier to redo the whole in ground bed at one time and not go around plants that live longer.
You know, almost every TH-cam video I see has a certain amount of "thumbs down" and I ask myself why would anyone thumbs down a video like this? Nice people, informative content and pretty scenery. What's not to like. Are people doing this just to be jerks? I mean, what the heck?
Sometimes people do it accidentally. Sometimes people are jealous of successful channels or they got their nose out of joint. Who knows? But it doesn’t really matter, the content creator gets the same benefit from thumbs down as they do thumbs up.
It would be a very good experiment for you to do 6 buckets with a different soil, or even a 50/50 mix of soil and the Kellogg’s. And the idea of placing panels and tables over the top in the spring is excellent. Then you have tons of room for seedlings.
I can't wait to see them growing. You guys are great!!
Keven’s shirts are so creative! I have some of the Elly and Grace t-shirts, but where does he get his?
Love waking up to your videos!
A happy start to a day! Your effort is so worth it!
I love seeing what you do for these ideas I can adapt for me. You guys rock. Thank you!
I grow everything in containers. I'm really loving fabric grow pots now. Do not have to put holes in them. They end up being cheaper in the long run. Amazon I can get them for about $5 each or from a TH-camr a little more, like the smart pots.
I always add things to my potting soil like worm castings, egg shells, bone meal, Epsom salt, compost & them wood chips on top.
I sometimes seem a Debby Downer when you talk about weather. Seriously, today when u gave your season 6!!! Wow. I compare to when my dad grew up around Ava, back then they called the area 5. Also my own young days in the Ozarks similar... where I live now is 5, but we used to be in a kinda small circle of 5 amid 4! The weather has really changed/evolved? Over the last 60-85 years!
Admire how much you do, we used to think we did well... but we did raise all our meat, but not even a fraction what u 2 do with veg!!! Such good stewards of the land
Good morning ... as always it is a pleasure to see what you are doing on your homestead ... remember to stay safe and stay blessed
In your mix, consider inexpensive grow lights and heat mats from amazon or e-bay. Will heat the container/plants and will help heat your greenhouse.
I just found your channel, and I am learning so much about the green house and how to use the greenhouse. I plan to buy a greenhouse and your channel will be very good for me. Thank you and God bless you guys.
That green house is FANTASTIC!!!!
Both of you are great teachers...and so interesting. Dutch and Kevin from near Sulfur OK are gathering more homesteaders for a big gathering in March of 2022. I hope you will get information about it, which is now in the planning stage. Near Pryor, OK at a large event building there. They plan to have mini teach and demo stations, plus adult area along with children section. You two would add so much to the event. Check it out soon. Hidden Heights Kevin n Rachel, Dutch n Brandi at Making it Dutch...
Wow!! You guys are briliant!! Thanks for sharing your genius ideas with us
I have always had nothing but trouble with the Kellog soil as well. It usually just seems to be not nearly broken down far enough yet and soaks up the nitrogen to break down the wood.
Long term it should be alright though once you get it right.
I don't have a farm, ranch or garden but I truly, thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Everything about your videos is just terrific and appreciated. Many thanks.

Thank you for mentioning the holes in the side of the bucket. That makes so much sense to me yet people i try to explain it to insist the holes need to be on the bottom. My pots have holes with landscape fabric covering the hole from the inside and yes, they are a couple inches from the bottom.
The green house looks good, It was good to see you guys at the home stead Expo
I love how you both show steps by steps for starter's
Kevin, if you want to help your greenhouse to retain warmth from solar gain in the winter, you can suspend some bubble wrap plastic below the roof of your greenhouse and over the exterior walls. I know that last year you used plastic row covers, and that is great, the bubble wrap plastic just acts like a blanket to slow the heat loss at night, and since it is clear it let's the light in to warm the soil under the black seed barrier and the black containers.

wow lucky lady way to go Sarra cant wait to see this project God Bless and good luck in this
I grow a lot in Pots, mostly shrubbery, & what I have found is the main thing is free drainage, The best I have found is shredded pine bark. Most everything else holds too much water. On the west coast, they use fur bark. you can use any fertilizer you want, thoe it must be slow-release,
Oh wow beautiful farm land and beautiful green house
What is the green house company
Outhay
I make my own mix for seedlings etc..... I use a 2 gallon bucket for measurement.... 12 parts peat moss (1 bale), 1 part perlite, 1 part vermiculite, 1/2 part crushed limestone for calcium and magnesium, 1/2 part coarse sand, and fertilizer of your choice (I use 20-20-20)...... roughly 10 gallons of water to hydrate, mix well.......
The new greenhouse looks beautiful and wonderful! I cannot wait to watch it grow. I am excited to watch the fall and winter harvests! So happy to hear that Grace is coming home! I imagine she misses the time spent gardening and cooking and the family time in general. God Bless y’all. ❤️ ~Sharon
I don’t have space for much of a garden, but live vicariously through you both. I love how you work together and enjoy the process while allowing for differing preferences. I wish you a bountiful winter season🤗

Welcome from Australia
I'm so happy for you. This greenhouse, the buckets, and all the Winter produce are such a blessing...just as you both are to us! Thank you for sharing this video! You are an inspiration.
I am so excited for you! 😊😊 Thanks for the tour.
Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Have a wonderful family weekend!
The green house looks great. I await with excitement to see all the vegetables growing in this green house this winter. Enjoy your time with Grace and your other daughter and send them my regards.
Oh my gosh I love your shirt! Yes indeed, He lives!
Thank You for sharing. I have learned so much from
You . I’m planting winter vegetables in planter boxes living in California in Sacramrnto area is a challenge but I’ve used Kellogg’s products and my summer vegetables did great! God Bless You and your family
Thank you for the soil, watering and soil tool information.
GORGEOUS greenhouse!!! Im jelly !!!
