Today we are building a raised bed, moving cows, preparing a spot for our new 7ftx7ft greenhouse, and getting the cow milked. We both feel like we can get so much use out of this little greenhouse, but we've got to get it off the trailer first!
We purchased our greenhouse from an Amish Supply Store in Meadows of Dan, VA.
We built both our mom's raised beds for Mothers Day.

My grandmother used to scoop her butter out of her churn when she would churn her milk to separate the butter from the milk and then she would put it in some cheese cloth to strain the milk out of it and she had wooden boxes that she put ii in then she wrapped each block in Saran Wrap and people would come to her house and buy butter and buttermilk from her and they would bring a empty gallon jar to swap out for the buttermilk and that’s how she made some spending money for her and she sold her eggs too you could open her refrigerator and that was all you saw was butter,buttermilk and eggs sorry this is so long but I just wanted to tell you about my grandmother and Megan she was my mom’s mother and we use to stay with her and my granddaddy in the summer and you can probably tell I was really close to them and you doing your butter made me think of her

My granddaughter's mom and dad bought her a greenhouse exactly like that one for some kind of school project. I kid her and tell her she just got it to grow pot in. She just looks at me and rolls her eyes. My dad had a 10 x 10 one attached to the entrance to his basement, it worked great. in the summer time he would open the basement door and pull cool air through the greenhouse from the basement.

I did enjoy this video! I learned that Andy is gonna try to do anything on his own, 😄. I also learned that I will fall outta my chair holding my breath watching Andy move a greenhouse,😜😬😮‍💨! Reminded me of watching my brothers growing up. Just as I was about to hit mute and watch in silence, it was on the ground, lol. You two make a great team and it is clear that you both love each other very much. ❤❤ I purchased some windows that look identical to the one on your greenhouse for my shed to chicken coop remodel. We added hardware cloth on the inside as well. There are lots of reasonable fan options on Amazon to pull the heat out. If I ever stop keeping chickens I will turn that coop into a greenhouse, not likely though cause I love having fresh eggs. I love raw milk too but do not have a source for it right now. I could type forever on here, I feel like you are family, God bless all of you!

The old way to regulate temps in a greenhouse was to cut a vent or two near the bottom away from the top vent, and soak thick aspen shims in water and place them over the vents. As the hot air moved out of the top vent, the air coming in the bottom was cooled as it came in the bottom. Also helped keep the humidity up. You would just keep a bucket of water near the front with extra shims and each day you would switch out the now dry ones for wet ones.

@horticultureandhomes Ай бұрын

As a greenhouse grower, I would forgo the gravel and use landscape cloth instead. I leave lemongrass and a fig growing in the ground of one of my houses. It overwinters well and I keep a supply of fig and lemongrass without hauling pots and risking freezing because the roots are above ground. If you make narrow shelves to hold flats sideways about waist level, you can also put strawberrys in ground around the inside in the ground for early crop. You can install inexpensive auto matic roof or side vents. Google it. They work off of wax/oil in a cylinder and can lift at least 30lb. Eorks well for coldframes too. You'll need to pin the house to the ground or storms will carry it away. I'll help ya any way I can to answer questions about what all you can do with your little house. The house is so little that you wont need a fan with automatic vents. If you have high winds you'll need to disengage the vents and keep it buttoned up during storms. I would upgrade the skin to double walled lexan eventually. It can take the weather much better than that thin plastic that is on the house now. Double wall polycarbonate(lexan) is what's on commercial houses. Meghan needs a wood butter mold.

My kid's Dad wouldn't drink goat's milk but what he didn't know was I'd water it down a little and put in an empty jug from the store. He was never the wiser. 😉. I like that little greenhouse, it's adorable. If you can run an ext cord maybe put a small outward facing fan in that vent window to pull cool air in? Also, in summer maybe get a 60% shade cloth?
