I even cheered "HOORAY!" when you planted for your seeds! LOL If I didn't have snow on the ground, I'd be working in in the yard 🙂
Just cleaned out my compost pile and spread it over the garden. Primed!
Heads Up to alert readers; I received a Whatsapp message saying I have been shortlisted as a prize-winner on Ben's YouTube site. Don't know if it's legit but it sounds dodgy.
Thank you Mr Ben : )
Great tip on sorting seeds by sow date (instead of alphabetically) , wish the Garden Planner could sort Plant List by sow date instead just alphabetically
I'll get on this right after the 30" of snow melts.
It's Autumn in South Africa now
INSPIRATIONAL! Thank you. Anne and Mike
I want to build a greenhouse and I am trying to decide on materials. Is your greenhouse glass or plastic panels? Do you have a preference?
Garden is 6inches under snow here in Ontario right now with a freaking big drift up against the shed!
LA container gardener here dreaming of owning land someday! I couldn’t wait and bought some baby herbs and a tomato seedling!! Glad we can all be excited for spring together ❤️❤️❤️
Super excited for this year, I am chitting spuds, sowing onions, kale and spinnach under grow lights. I am growing a bunch of stuff for the 1st time this year too like Corn, Lupin Beans and onions. Bring on the spring.
You are so industrious and clever! I love your use of the pallet to hold tools. I'm going to copy your idea and paint mine a fun color too. Great way to save money, fill an important need, and reuse materials. Bravo!
Hi Ben, a tips for cleaning algaes: use strong vinegar with high acidity, put some in your water, the stonger the better. Use glasses to protect your eyes. Makes your glass shine! It can preferably also be used on the ground level wooden materials on the egde of your green house, but take notice: it will damage the plants below; to clean it before one plant can be an idea… One the upside: it kills the weeds.
I cleaned our lean to on a fair day and realized we need more room. So that's on the list for late summer project. I make tags from plastic containers also. Someone mentioned old vinyl blinds–great idea. It's amazing how fast and healthy the seedlings are growing in GH. Normally I don't heat GH, but had to because all bare root was sent with broke dormancy. In WI zone 5a it's still freezing and hope done snowing. We finished edges around 2 hugelkulture beds today and watching you really tuckered me out–your greenhouse is twice the size of ours, that was a lot of work!
There’s something very satisfying about watching someone successfully clean up a garden building knowing it’s something you have to do to. I think it’s called incentive. Can you share where you got your hand fork and if you like it?
We're only just heading into Winter here (Australia)… but thanks to your channel and some others I'm getting very excited for what I can do with my garden. I'm using my time at the moment to tidy up and get things ready (I just mulched some leaves the other day to top up the compost).
Your greenhouse is a great example of how even the most daunting tasks can be tackled and the sense of reward at the end is brilliant (it's great having before and after shots to remind you of just how much you achieved too).
Well done!
Hi Ben, tips reminder from last season: vinegar for cleaning the glass in the greenhouse and elsewhere.
You're my favorite ☺️
This was really helpful 🙂 reminded me to clear out my cold frame!
great video!
