ha ha ha so 2 things... I've been here for 6 years, so where have you been???? 😂😍😂😂 and 60000 sq ft????? OMG I can only dream of that.... I have a 10m by 10 m space
Me too, great greenhouse tips and I’m Scottish but live in Seattle and it warmed my heart and made me smile when she said go and get a cup of tea and a wee biscuit! ♥️👩🌾🫖☕️🍪🏴
Awwwww Wait till you hear how often I say beastie! I’ve got heaps of US gardeners wandering around in beastie farmer shirts from our channel merch 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh wow! That’s fabulous! Thanks so much Eli - firstly for all your help and support with growing and secondly for such fab giveaways your channel has had! Looking forward to the hori hori! I will have no excuse now when it comes to weeding! 🙈🤣 💖💖💖
This and your other videos have really helped me order my first greenhouse today. I’m like a kid at Christmas! This is my first year growing, your videos have helped an awful lot.
Omg I have watched this loads as it’s so helpful... I’m a couple of weeks off having my greenhouse installed. Exciting times🎉🎉😊.. you have made me think about the year round uses. ( ie want to dry clothes in there during the winter to get damp clothes out of the house) Ps have copied you and the tubs for soil. I have a tiny shed and my husband told me to stop buying for the greenhouse as I’m filling the shed😂😂😂 thanks
Glad it was helpful! There’s an updated video too that has some handy new ideas, might be another handy one for you BEST way to use a greenhouse (and my IKEA hack for it) th-cam.com/video/hlNbN7ViEOo/w-d-xo.html
Your voice (and accent) is just so lovely and calming; like you're not talking to a camera, you're talking to me. I hear you talk and can't help but smile and sip my coffee a little slower, enjoying the moment you provided. I look for whatever joy I can manage to find in the world these days and there's so much of it here in your videos so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Hi, new subscriber here. I’m planning my greenhouse. Hope to build from old windows this autumn. You have helped me focus not on the structure itself but its functionality. Every time I put pen to paper my floor plan got bigger! I wasn’t thinking in 3D! Now my plan is more realistic and useable. Thanks. It is lovely to get garden tips from a fellow Scot for a change.
I just got my first ever greenhouse and am overwhelmed, haha. I don’t know anyone who has one so don’t have anyone to ask my million and ten questions. Your video is sooooo helpful! Not only is your content so good, but the way you deliver it is wonderful! I can’t thank you enough. I’ve subscribed and look forward to learning more from you!
I love this video. I got my greenhouse completed this fall and now thinking about starting seedlings and realized my greenhouse is not ready for starting seedlings. So I decided I needed to make a plan and start getting things ready for what I can do this year. Your video was perfect for what I needed. I love the folding tables that was an excellent idea. Thank you so much.
"Take a wee moment". LOVED HER!! Great tips. Efficient and well organized. Photo case for seedlings... BRILLIANT and ordered my from A.Prime just now. Well done Eli and Kate!
EXCELLENT VIDEO! TIMELY TOO!!! thank you. I bought my green house, a mobile one, and have not set it up yet. I have many grow shelves in door next to the kitchen , dinning room with grow lights and it got unorganized and thats the problem I have , lots of seedlings turning into plants and they cant be set outside yet unless I make them comfy and cozy, lol ...they bursted forth , I started too early...you are a God send and very deightful to watch , love your accent. Be Well, Be Blessed and Be Free from Las Vegas, NV, USA!
All I can say: love, love, love it! (your ideas, content, explanations….) - and over the last 2 years I have been falling in love with Scotland. So - listening to you sounds „so familiar“.
awwww glad you are enjoying your fun in the garden with us... I'll share a secret... I haven't advertised this yet but there's a new video dropping in 2 hours and it's "out of the box stuff" :D
Just received a greenhouse for Christmas, and this video was exactly what I needed. Subscribed to your channel! Thanks a bunch. Cheers from the gulf coast of the USA!
Handy tips! Thank-you! I have a greenhouse being built next week, haven't ordered any staging benches or shelving yet so will take what you've said on board, really liked the 2 pieces of wood slotted into the brackets idea (easy) and the hooks with the bamboo as I like to see things and get my hands on them quickly. Have also been looking at seed storage and had seen the photo boxes and wasn't sure as tins/wooden boxes look nicer, but i think i will go for the photo boxes now.
I stumbled across those exact photo storage boxes last spring! I have two clear ones and they’re perfect! They’re also great for when you’re sowing seeds in the garden, in case it starts raining. :)
Excellent tips, lovely personality, what more could you ask for! I've had a large polytunnel while I lived in North Carolina, and just downgraded to a smaller size after a move, because it's hard to source reliable replacement covers. I think it's time to get a decent sized greenhouse like yours! The winds here in southern Ohio where I just moved are pretty brutal, not sure how long my PT will hold up, though it seems to have done fine through the worst of it. Subscribed, can't wait to dig into your other videos. Cheers! :)
Awww welcome to the gang Brad. My greenhouse is a 6ft by 8ft, so not particularly big… I’d love a bigger one but you’ve gotta make the best of what you have. Some thoughtful organising goes a long way
Glad you enjoyed it Laure Bows a good time to get organised and planned so you’re ready to go once the greenhouse is built. If you’ve not seen it yet, the video on making the most out of your 6by8 might be useful.
Thank you. I just Googled how to organise a small greenhouse, and your video popped up. Excellent tips for a newby and a confidence boosting delivery. I'm beginning my 2nd season on my allotment. I recently got a greenhouse.
Yay for the new greenhouse!!!!!!! Not sure if you’ve seen it but this could be helpful too… th-cam.com/video/hlNbN7ViEOo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1Jz5VLCPJ_CkYG03

Greetings from the Netherlands. Very happy to have discovered your channel. Just bought a secondhand wooden greenhouse, about the same size as yours, very excited to set it up and get growing!
Im lucky in that I have a really good potting shed so my greenhouse is only for my sown seeds, my seedlings and my young plants. I only grow dwarf tomatoes now and I only have four seedlings. My heated mats and propagators are in my "gym" in the house so its a mix of greenhouse and home for my propagation. Take care you two
mad how people have similar interests! As soon as I clicked on the video I remembered watching your how to video on the Sage Barista Express a few years back - Thanks!
Love these tips !! off to find 2 lenths of wood :) I have a simular greenhouse and on the integral shelf and put a row of ikea boot trays along these. At the back of the trays i have a long (capped) lenth of guttering i then have 3 peices of capillary matting which go over the boot try and into the guttering. So i just need to top up the guttering with water in summer and it keeps my plants happy. Had a great crop of chillis and aubergines there because they were kept happy. I had some wicking string off each to take off excess water into plants below.
@@eliandkate Your sheer enthusiasm for the glasshouse comes across on the video. You have an entertaining style of presentation. Good old Scottish humour.
Just yesterday fell upon you and your wonderful vids. Loving them! Commenting on what you use to store your seeds in… I have a HUGE fishing tackle box (the size a person can sit on while fishing) and this is what I use for my seed storage. Folks say when selecting a greenhouse to go a tad bit larger than what you have in mind to fill it with. I believe the same to be true on seed storage containers. Lol. Bright blessings.
Love the topic Eli! Brilliant idea! Loads and loads of useful tips. Are you suggesting I planted too many Chili seedlings!? It's not possible, I won't hear it. Laughing at the idea of taking apart the greenhouse to get a trowel and having flashbacks to having to take apart mine to get the tables out!! Congrats to Mzundastud!
Great video! With this being my first spring with the greenhouse I realized that 1. I am a pack rat and need to decide what I really do need in the greenhouse and what can go. 2. I installed a sink in my staging that is powered by the rain barrel in my garden. Well I don’t use it in the winter and haven’t set it up. The sink has turned into a “catch all” for random things. I’m thinking it’s taking up valuable space...when the rain barrel is just outside the greenhouse door. Thanks for all the tips!
Great video with lots of great tips. I store my seeds alphabetically (some people store them by sowing date) in Bold Gel Washing Capsule containers. They hold loads of packets of seeds.
Most excellent tips, Eli. I especially liked your seed-storage box (although, I love the looks of the vintage metal box you once used). Alas, my organizational skills suck, big time. I just go from one potting to the next with no real plan. It’s a required man thing, I guess. Regardless, between the incessant complaints of my wife, Lilly, and the teachings of this video, I’m going to make an effort to aspire to organize things in the greenhouse a little better. I can do that, and as long as I can still keep the garage in its current state of organized chaos, I’ll be happy with the results. You were so right about over planting seedlings. I planted enough romaine lettuce to feed a school for wayward girls, and they all finally ripened ... all at once. Today, I was out knocking on the neighbor’s doors (wearing my mask) to give away lettuce, and I had a hard time of it: apparently, most are at church on Sunday mornings. But, I was finally able to pom off eight heads without scaring too many children. This last: I noticed you finally got a thumbs-down vote. Which is proof that one of your viewers is an asshat. Oh, well, what cha gonna do? Your friend, Tim from California, ha,ha; also known as Michael Donahoe ... Michael is my first name, remember?).
We're on a fixed income and live in a food desert. After spending over an hour on Amazon agonizing over a greenhouse purchase, (types, materials, dimensions, etc.) I decided to think it over. Then I ran across this video. Thanks to you, I realized I didn't need a giant-sized greenhouse. Now we can actually afford more supplies! Thank you for posting this! Blessings, Health, Prosperity, and Peace to you and yours and to all who read this! 😘👍😇💖
@@johnlally3506 Thank you so much for your answer. I found one on Amazon that fit my budget. Waiting for delivery now. I ended up buying 2 smaller ones, solving some storage problems as well. Thanks to the original video, I know how to use the space more efficiently. I appreciate your suggestion. Blessings! 👍😘🙏
Great tips, Eli! Your #1 tip is spot on. I'm building my greenhouse right now and am thinking ahead to how I need to get it ready for planting. It's been a few years since I grew in a greenhouse and your insight is great to remind me what's important.
The greenhouse is the most vital piece of kit for me. I wouldn't be ae to grow half of my crops without it. I'm trying to imagine how hot a greengouse would get in your garden. I can't even imagine the temperatures you get. Means you probably have different priorities from me?
Thank you so much for your detailed and informative videos. Just dismantled and brought home my very first glass greenhouse which was free. Its been something I’ve wanted for 20 years but always missed out on. It’s an 8x6 and I’m so pleased to have come across your channel. Pen and paper at the ready to write down what I want to achieve.
Yay the new greenhouse is always exciting. I have a couple of greenhouse playlists that might be useful, to get you going.... But remember it's about more than just the greenhouse... All the gardening knowledge can help you be a better greenhouse gardener. 🙂
Absolutely amazing video, I’m in Scotland 🏴 & just got my first greenhouse. I’ve been watching a lot of videos on gardening but there all from warmer climates. When your channel popped up I was delighted, someone from my neck of the woods that understands our climate. Going to be organising my greenhouse based on your great tips 🙏🏻 happy gardening 👩🌾 ps just subscribed so I don’t miss your videos 😁
Yay, I’m glad you found us! It is an important thing… you can learn lots from channels from all over, but even channels from down south have huge differences in what they can grow and how and when. It’s why I started doing this stuff, because when I started the only info ai could find was from the south and it wasn’t working for me. Yes…. I tried squash and pumpkin 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oh welcome to the community Faith Even though that’s an older video… it’s still one of my favourites. I’m actually in the process of switching my greenhouse into winter mode so there’s loads of that coming up
Waiting for our first greenhouse to be delivered🎉. This video was full of great tips, it can be so overwhelming at times...but your videos are all inspiring and practical ... thank you ☺️
Glad it was helpful! I think the key is to stop reading all the gardening forums and watching all the youtube videos because it can be really overwhelming with people telling you what you need to do or need to have and to be honest, all of it is nonsense when you consider that we can all only give advice about our personal experience and our personal set ups which might not actually be right for you. So remember, it's ok for you to do things your way and its ok to take your time and learn. :D
This is profoundly good advice and information. I'm planning a greenhouse and my planning is all about zones, function, and flexibility to adapt to the seasonal needs. Thanks so much for all your insights!
Just had my first greenhouse (Rhino) installed yesterday! Now looking to buy folding stage to get myself started as at the moment it is just big empty glass box which our cat Storm thinks is somewhere for her as she sits at the door to get in even when we are in the house! Learning so much from you and enjoying tips and hints so thanks!
Loving your channel, being fairly new to herb, fruit and veg gardening in a limited space, you’re very informative and helpful with your experience, keep up the great work
I’m in American and I just built my greenhouse. I’m looking to build some shelves and I am so glad I ran across your video. Great ideas and beautiful greenhouse ❤
I loved that seed storage case when I saw it in one of your other videos (love the pride colours too). You have a great presentation style (I'm getting teacher vibes but that could be because my parents were both teachers and so was my wife)... some great tips there for me to think about incorporating into my greenhouse (one more roof panel built today... four more to go and the roof will be done.)
Woooohoooo oh new greenhouse day in the best EVER, Andrea!!!!! This one might be useful too BEST use of your greenhouse (and my IKEA hack for it) th-cam.com/video/hlNbN7ViEOo/w-d-xo.html
Glad its useful. I realised when I was setting up this greenhouse that making use of the space is quite an important topic for a lot of people, hence the whole playlist of videos about setting up a greenhouse. I suspect I'd doesn't matter how big your space, you still need a bit of planning 😏
Ooo, Eli, I love how you do! Thanks for sharing your design and planning choices. I find them very helpful, and I enjoy watching the evolution of your set-up as you make it your own. 🙌 Lisa, from Colorado USA (a whole different ball o’ twine)
I really need fixed raised shelving to keep the slugs off, but I'm too tight to buy the rhino ones 😄 such an important topic when planning your gardening year. 👍
I normally never comment on video’s. But I want to thank you for your great videomaking! Very helpful information and mostly for your accent, it really made my day!
Well HALILUJAH ❤ You just made my day. Just finishing installing the floor on my 2nd greenhouse after a tree took out the 1st one🤣 I always said I'd like to start over and this time do it differently. This video from A-Z has given me SO MANY ideas. I live in Michigan and now have all winter to accessorize my space with all of your suggestions and will be ready to hit the ground running in the late winter. Am now your biggest fan. Cheers ladies. Gonna go get a piece of paper and pen like you suggested and rewatch🤣
Thank you so much. I'm about to put my kennel and convert into a greenhouse. Not even sure if I have a green thumb but I am looking forward to it. Wish me luck and thank you for all your tips.
I know there are an awful lot of you guys who have joined us recently who are also new greenhouse gardeners. Hopefully this will get the wee brains working :D
Really enjoyed the video, thanks Eli. My Greenhouse gets assembled on the 6th April (hopefully) so this will help me to 'start as I mean to go on' - although I've already gone overboard with the amount of tomato seedlings I have! LOL
@@eliandkate I actually did the clear because I had a small red container a few years back and caught myself squinting to see what was inside. My worry is the clear one will show dirt more quickly and I am hoping not. Thanks again for a great video

Loads of nifty little tips that I know people will find useful! I gotta start by tidying up my polytunnel first! 😆😂

Whats better than a greenhouse and a narrator with an irish/scottish accent!?! Is it Shetland? Awesome!😊
Ha ha ha you gotta pick
They are both VERY different accents

🥰 yup
The V shelf is genius! I wouldn't be surprised if Rhino start making one now! And the photo storage box is a great idea too!
They had better not 🤣🤣🤣

That is a VERY good idea with the seed box size 😀😀😀
Love the topic Eli! Brilliant idea! Loads and loads of useful tips. Are you suggesting I planted too many Chili seedlings!? It's not possible, I won't hear it.
Laughing at the idea of taking apart the greenhouse to get a trowel and having flashbacks to having to take apart mine to get the tables out!!
Congrats to Mzundastud!
Oh I don't remember that episode at all!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
So I really do have too many tomatoes then 🙈🤣🤣🤣 and thank you JB!
Great video! With this being my first spring with the greenhouse I realized that 1. I am a pack rat and need to decide what I really do need in the greenhouse and what can go. 2. I installed a sink in my staging that is powered by the rain barrel in my garden. Well I don’t use it in the winter and haven’t set it up. The sink has turned into a “catch all” for random things. I’m thinking it’s taking up valuable space...when the rain barrel is just outside the greenhouse door.
Thanks for all the tips!
Sounds like you have had a sensible think 😁
I bought the rainbow storage box too! I love it! 🎉❤
Best buy in ages
Great video with lots of great tips. I store my seeds alphabetically (some people store them by sowing date) in Bold Gel Washing Capsule containers. They hold loads of packets of seeds.
Great tip!
Most excellent tips, Eli. I especially liked your seed-storage box (although, I love the looks of the vintage metal box you once used).
Alas, my organizational skills suck, big time. I just go from one potting to the next with no real plan. It’s a required man thing, I guess.
Regardless, between the incessant complaints of my wife, Lilly, and the teachings of this video, I’m going to make an effort to aspire to organize things in the greenhouse a little better. I can do that, and as long as I can still keep the garage in its current state of organized chaos, I’ll be happy with the results.
You were so right about over planting seedlings. I planted enough romaine lettuce to feed a school for wayward girls, and they all finally ripened ... all at once. Today, I was out knocking on the neighbor’s doors (wearing my mask) to give away lettuce, and I had a hard time of it: apparently, most are at church on Sunday mornings. But, I was finally able to pom off eight heads without scaring too many children.
This last: I noticed you finally got a thumbs-down vote. Which is proof that one of your viewers is an asshat. Oh, well, what cha gonna do?
Your friend, Tim from California, ha,ha; also known as Michael Donahoe ... Michael is my first name, remember?).
:) Oh I remember
I would have taken some lettuce :D
Don't worry about the thumbs down, just means the video wasn't what someone was looking for.
We're on a fixed income and live in a food desert. After spending over an hour on Amazon agonizing over a greenhouse purchase, (types, materials, dimensions, etc.) I decided to think it over. Then I ran across this video. Thanks to you, I realized I didn't need a giant-sized greenhouse. Now we can actually afford more supplies!
Thank you for posting this!
Blessings, Health, Prosperity, and Peace to you and yours and to all who read this! 😘👍😇💖
Glad it’s been useful Jane.
If you search locally you can probably get a greenhouse cheap or free if you are happy to dismantle it.

Thank you so much for your answer. I found one on Amazon that fit my budget. Waiting for delivery now. I ended up buying 2 smaller ones, solving some storage problems as well. Thanks to the original video, I know how to use the space more efficiently. I appreciate your suggestion. Blessings!
👍😘🙏
Great tips, Eli! Your #1 tip is spot on. I'm building my greenhouse right now and am thinking ahead to how I need to get it ready for planting. It's been a few years since I grew in a greenhouse and your insight is great to remind me what's important.
The greenhouse is the most vital piece of kit for me. I wouldn't be ae to grow half of my crops without it. I'm trying to imagine how hot a greengouse would get in your garden. I can't even imagine the temperatures you get. Means you probably have different priorities from me?
Thank you so much for your detailed and informative videos. Just dismantled and brought home my very first glass greenhouse which was free. Its been something I’ve wanted for 20 years but always missed out on. It’s an 8x6 and I’m so pleased to have come across your channel. Pen and paper at the ready to write down what I want to achieve.
Yay the new greenhouse is always exciting.
I have a couple of greenhouse playlists that might be useful, to get you going.... But remember it's about more than just the greenhouse... All the gardening knowledge can help you be a better greenhouse gardener. 🙂
Absolutely amazing video, I’m in Scotland 🏴 & just got my first greenhouse. I’ve been watching a lot of videos on gardening but there all from warmer climates. When your channel popped up I was delighted, someone from my neck of the woods that understands our climate. Going to be organising my greenhouse based on your great tips 🙏🏻 happy gardening 👩🌾 ps just subscribed so I don’t miss your videos 😁
Yay, I’m glad you found us!
It is an important thing… you can learn lots from channels from all over, but even channels from down south have huge differences in what they can grow and how and when.
It’s why I started doing this stuff, because when I started the only info ai could find was from the south and it wasn’t working for me.
Yes…. I tried squash and pumpkin 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Your organization tips are awesome! Thank you. I just discovered your channel, subscribed, and now look forward to more great info.
Oh welcome to the community Faith
Even though that’s an older video… it’s still one of my favourites.
I’m actually in the process of switching my greenhouse into winter mode so there’s loads of that coming up
Waiting for our first greenhouse to be delivered🎉. This video was full of great tips, it can be so overwhelming at times...but your videos are all inspiring and practical ... thank you ☺️
Glad it was helpful!
I think the key is to stop reading all the gardening forums and watching all the youtube videos because it can be really overwhelming with people telling you what you need to do or need to have and to be honest, all of it is nonsense when you consider that we can all only give advice about our personal experience and our personal set ups which might not actually be right for you. So remember, it's ok for you to do things your way and its ok to take your time and learn. :D
This is profoundly good advice and information. I'm planning a greenhouse and my planning is all about zones, function, and flexibility to adapt to the seasonal needs. Thanks so much for all your insights!
You are entirely welcome Bud 😀
Listening from Texas, USA and I was so confused listening in. I finally figured out that you’re saying areas (I thought you were saying idiots). 😂
😀 that'll be because you guys have really strong accents 😂
You’re just a clever clogs 😁 great video
😁😁😁😁
Just had my first greenhouse (Rhino) installed yesterday! Now looking to buy folding stage to get myself started as at the moment it is just big empty glass box which our cat Storm thinks is somewhere for her as she sits at the door to get in even when we are in the house! Learning so much from you and enjoying tips and hints so thanks!
Yay that’s so exciting 😍😍😍😍
If it helps, there’s a link to a place that does the staging on my website
Loving your channel, being fairly new to herb, fruit and veg gardening in a limited space, you’re very informative and helpful with your experience, keep up the great work
Oh Brian, that's so nice of you 😍😍😍😍😍
Your greenhouse looks so organised! I need to sort mines, it’s a bit wild
I'm a bit of a neat freak. I get stressed out when things are messy 😬
I love your energi and I enjoy your videos a lot!! Thank you for all the good tips and trix!! With love from snowy Sweden 🥰
snowy yiks!!
I’m in American and I just built my greenhouse. I’m looking to build some shelves and I am so glad I ran across your video. Great ideas and beautiful greenhouse ❤
Glad you found us 😍
Love the video with great hints and tips and abundance of enthusiasm. Thank You ❤
😍 hope it helps Patti
Im a total newbie and just bought a greenhouse... This video was excellent and has given me so many tips thankyou
Glad it's helpful
Thank you for your video. I really like all the info and your personality.
Hope it helps get you sorted
I loved that seed storage case when I saw it in one of your other videos (love the pride colours too). You have a great presentation style (I'm getting teacher vibes but that could be because my parents were both teachers and so was my wife)... some great tips there for me to think about incorporating into my greenhouse (one more roof panel built today... four more to go and the roof will be done.)
Ha ha ha spot in with the teacher vibes 🤫
Great tips! I'm going to look into getting some integral staging for mine, makes so much sense to use more of the vertical space.
Glad it was helpful! 😀
Only recently found your channel and i am enjoying it very much. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you are enjoying the videos 😀
I just got a small greenhouse. About 9 X 8 feet. So excited! This is my first staging video I watched. Very helpful. Thank you. You are fantastic!
Woooohoooo oh new greenhouse day in the best EVER, Andrea!!!!!
This one might be useful too
BEST use of your greenhouse (and my IKEA hack for it)
th-cam.com/video/hlNbN7ViEOo/w-d-xo.html
Great tips
Hopefully it’ll go towards a great year for you 🤞🤞🤞
Love the idea of the v shelf!
Just a wee handy extra
Very helpful for my new greenhouse. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! 😀😀😀
Awesome info!!!!! I'll rewatch quite often. Thank you!!!!!
Glad its useful. I realised when I was setting up this greenhouse that making use of the space is quite an important topic for a lot of people, hence the whole playlist of videos about setting up a greenhouse. I suspect I'd doesn't matter how big your space, you still need a bit of planning 😏
Ooo, Eli, I love how you do! Thanks for sharing your design and planning choices. I find them very helpful, and I enjoy watching the evolution of your set-up as you make it your own. 🙌 Lisa, from Colorado USA (a whole different ball o’ twine)
😁 glad you enjoyed finding out about my greenhouse Lisa (that’s one big ball of twine)
Thank you so much. I'm sure some of the tips you've given will come handy for my new greenhouse.
Really like this lady, very knowledgeable x
Glad to have you join our community Jenny 😍
Great content! Amazing tips. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Starting our green house soon. Need to plan ahead.
Oh exciting times. A new greenhouse is always so much fun
I really need fixed raised shelving to keep the slugs off, but I'm too tight to buy the rhino ones 😄 such an important topic when planning your gardening year. 👍
To be honest, I don't think the shelves are worth the cost. The fixings are really flimsy 😭
I normally never comment on video’s. But I want to thank you for your great videomaking! Very helpful information and mostly for your accent, it really made my day!
Glad there’s been some useful stuff for you 😀
This is fantastic, so many details. Love lists, diagrams and everything organized -including my garden.
Glad it’s useful Tina
Thank you for excellent advice!!!🤗🌱💞
Glad you’ve found it useful 😀
Well HALILUJAH ❤
You just made my day.
Just finishing installing the floor on my 2nd greenhouse after a tree took out the 1st one🤣
I always said I'd like to start over and this time do it differently.
This video from A-Z has given me SO MANY ideas.
I live in Michigan and now have all winter to accessorize my space with all of your suggestions and will be ready to hit the ground running in the late winter.
Am now your biggest fan.
Cheers ladies.
Gonna go get a piece of paper and pen like you suggested and rewatch🤣
Woooo hoooooo
Thanks
Glad you found it useful Cindy :D
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! your voice is so relaxing & it brings me so much joy ! ❤
Glad to have you with us Briony ☺️
So many useful tips! Thank you!
Awww glad it was helpful
Thank you so much. I'm about to put my kennel and convert into a greenhouse. Not even sure if I have a green thumb but I am looking forward to it. Wish me luck and thank you for all your tips.
It’ll be great 😍
Excellent!!! Thank you!
Looking forward to hearing tales of your fantastic greenhouse Jamie
I know there are an awful lot of you guys who have joined us recently who are also new greenhouse gardeners. Hopefully this will get the wee brains working :D
Yes, yes, brain running wild :-D
😂😂😂😂 good luck!!!
Really enjoyed the video, thanks Eli. My Greenhouse gets assembled on the 6th April (hopefully) so this will help me to 'start as I mean to go on' - although I've already gone overboard with the amount of tomato seedlings I have! LOL
I think everyone has :D
Great content.
Great video. I just ordered the photo case for my seeds. Brilliant.
Did you get your hands on a clear one or a coloured one?
@@eliandkate I actually did the clear because I had a small red container a few years back and caught myself squinting to see what was inside. My worry is the clear one will show dirt more quickly and I am hoping not. Thanks again for a great video
Oh I’ve given up trying to hide the dirt 😂😂😂
@@eliandkate I continue with the struggle.............
