[@marie-pierberrouard7725]

Hey! Small scale farmer from the north here :) If you can, put a thick layer of straw or fallen leaves on your carrot beds next autumn before the ground freezes. It’ll keep your soil workable and harvesting will be a breeze all winter long. It works even in the depths of our -40C winters here. I have loved seeing your progress throughout the year. Good job, keep it up xxx

[@ellbow7287]

Yes. I was going to suggest the same thing. 👍👍👍

[@janinafisher101]

I agree! I put a straw bale on top of my carrots, with a tarp on top to shake off the snow (or the ice that we frequently get here in Eastern Ontario, Canada) and I can harvest my carrots in January. You've never had carrots to sweet or juicy as these winter-harvested ones!

[@mjbrown7886]

I live right by Lake Ontario (ON side), I like gardening and just wondering about the winter plant boxes. Do you have them covered or just with the straw on top? Last year we had kale, and other greens growing far in to February (I had old windows on top of the planter boxes)

[@marie-pierberrouard7725]

@@mjbrown7886 It all really depends on the size of your container and what you grow in it. The smaller the raised bed, plant box, etc the likelier it is to often freeze and thaw which will damage your plants. Some, like kale or carrots don’t mind it as much as chard or lettuce for instance. You could also use both the straw and the window to maximize insulation. I’d recommend looking into Nikki Jarbour, a gardener from Nova Scotia, who has a great book on winter gardening techniques. Also, One Yard Revolution on youtube is great for winter growing at a home scale. Best of luck!

[@jonap5740]

Can you also make suggestions on how to keep mice from eating produce? If it is voles, then gardeners cloth with metallic threads will work, and concrete blocks around the particular plots, but mice that eat from the top down?

[@SN-sz7kw]

Everything is so lovely, Rosie. Note from a granny on warming the house - perhaps you’ve already noticed - it’s really about warming up the structure (vs just the air) & keeping it warm. When we make winter visits to our Czech farmhouse it takes a few days until the walls absorb the heat & then if we just keep the stoves going in the mornings & evenings the actual structure doesn’t have a chance to cool down too much & we stay pretty comfortable. You can save on wood that way. It just takes a while of steady heating to get to that point (you can feel the walls to see how it’s going - they will be less icy-cold). It’ll really help if your kitchen stove is fixed (it’s wood fired?) & you’ll have a better balance of heat. The stovetop fans can also help with distribution. And lined/insulated curtains can help keep in heat at night. Enjoy your beautiful bespoke space. You’re a remarkable woman. 💗

[@caronadams4486]

Amazing advice for Rosie. Hopefully she reads your comment! Bless you.

[@hannikulju9990]

Stowe must be a wood stowe, because that is the way we used to cook here in Northern countries, Finland ( where I am from), Sweden and Norway. Rosie will eventually be able to use that too. But curten trick is a good advise. It works. She is so handy.

[@theonetocomeifyoubelieveit]

adding stones around the stove can really help retaining the heat.

[@Martipenny]

Yes!! The stove top fans will direct the heat here and there!! Also keep the door to the library open so the heat can circulate!!!

Hi Rosie, the woodstove is drying your air, so you should put a kettle with water in it to keep your air moist. I’m surprised the guy that installed it didn’t tell you that. it will help for the rest of the house to remain more warm.❤

Everything is looking great, Rosie. Well Done! 👏 All your hard work and sacrifices are really paying off. Don’t forget to buy a Carbon Monoxide alarm for your room. I have had four wood burning stoves - the last one (age 2 years and a good German make) was maintained yearly (as always) by a qualified HEATAS engineer in the UK and chimney swept, as usual, too…my husband and I got sick - ironically two weeks after the maintenance visit) I called the engineer to ask if there was any reason my husband and i felt very sleepy and unwell..he came rushing back; did loads of checks and found a leak in the very back of the flue pipe (almost undetectable). We both ended up in hospital that very day with Carbon Monoxide poisoning and to stay for 4 days and were not allowed back into ours home until the fire dept., came to check everything. They condemned the 2 year old stove and we had to buy a new one…..WITH carbon monoxide alarms fitted into our home. Other folk in the village also were unaware of this potential issue with wood burners and all had alarms fit too. Just a friendly tip. I am loving your videos.

[@leewood729]

For next year, think about possibly getting three or four chickens - barred rocks and Orpingtons are good hardy cold weather birds. They can free range in the summer, and in the winter will clear your garden of weeds and bugs, turn over the soil and "fertilize" it for the next spring. They also eat mice! In return, you get on average an egg per bird every other day, good source of protein.

[@GiGiBlogger]

Limits the ability to pack and go away a few days. Who would feed them?

[@mrburns91]

​@GiGiBlogger generally speaking if you do it right, you can give chickens what they need and go away for a few days and they'll be fine. If you look up the Simple Living Alaska channel, they often go away for a couple days in the dead of Alaskan winter, and their chickens are doing fantastic. It's just a matter of making sure their shelter is adequate.

[@leewood729]

@@GiGiBlogger I've made tub feeders for my chooks - big tub with a lid and four to six L-bend PVC plumbing pipes big enough for the chickens to get their head into. Fill it up, close the lid, put it in the coop, and the chickens feed themselves, if they're not free-ranging. Same with water - 50 gallon plastic barrel with water nipples or the like to self-water. There's plenty of instructional videos on how to make these. They last up for a couple weeks if they're large enough.

[@heide-raquelfuss5580]

Homesick is a sign...to listen to your soul and gut. Many people long to their place of origin, when getting older and older. It seems, that you need to go away from your home, to eventually appreciate it more afterwards. The Netherlands are tiny, very noisy, closed in often. To much stress. I live in Belgium. I long for Sweden and the lonelyness, nature, away from people. My father's mother was Danish and i realize i belong to the far north in nature, as an introverted loving silence, nature. I never fitted in Belgium. The people are not my kind of people either. They see my introversion, longing for solitude, nature, living in peace as pathological. I believed something was wrong with me, until i saw Sweden's video's and people, nature and i suddenly 'knew' i was home. I think my Danish grandmother has to do with it. My father was also more someone from the far north, loving Lapland. Follow your heart, soul, where you 'belong' and are longing for. Know yourself and what you are and need to feel at ease. Lady, i wish you well.

[@emmahageus]

@@heide-raquelfuss5580I hope you’ll be able to find a home in Sweden! I agree with that you start appreciating where you come from more when you leave it.

We do get snow here too, which I thoroughly enjoy during winter, but not with the same intensity found in Sweden.

Your videos just fly by. I look forward to your updates more than any other channel I’m subscribed to. It’s amazing what you have managed to accomplish with such simple tools and materials. Personally, I really like the “crazy” fabric pillows. It adds some texture and some softer, more feminine details to the room but the pattern feels very in keeping with a Swedish home. Definitely recommend getting a heat propelled fan for the stove to help move the warm air around and I’d recommend getting a small cast iron vessel of some sort that you can keep filled with water to humidify the air. It will help carry the heat around the home and keep the air from getting too dry. Also, as someone else commented, be careful about putting wood directly on the stove. Once wood dries out and heats up, it can combust surprisingly quickly. Keeping it near the stove to warm it up is fine, but not directly atop the stove like that. You could probably make an easy boot drier to put beside the stove as well. Just some dowels on a stand that you can place the boots on upside down. We use them over our vents to dry hats, mitts, and boots. They work quite well. You wouldn’t want the souls of your boots to melt lol. Once you get the hang of the stove, you’ll be amazed how hot it can get. ❤

My husband suffered bloating, IBS, migraine and tiredness for the past 20 years till I had a lightbulb moment….hes gluten intolerant. Now I have a happy energised husband who avoids gluten. Love all you do xxx

[@JoyceGooder-mo1fs]

First this is only my opinion. Do what works for you Rosie. My intention is good. I live in a cold climate here in the US. I do have double pane windows, when it is really cold I close the drapery most of the time, it helps keep the heat in. For sure I close them at night. I would encourage you to get curtains or drapery coverings on the library room and the room where your fireplace is. And for sure close them at night. A sewing project for th long winter days. Keep warm. Christmas greetings from my home to yours.

What the heck have I just found. That was the most beautiful, spellbinding and engaging piece of filmmaking that I have come across in a long time. Looks like I have some binge watching to do. Well done, you are a multi skilled and very creative person.

[@kathleenschaubhut4174]

You have created a very nice home and I love the floral pattern fabric on the pillows. The winter drone videos are beautiful.

[@joeb4142]

“Now I’m surrounded by silence and white.” 11:21 This is sublime. Gorgeous, actually. ✨ 28:17 What a perfect Swedish winter image! “You could be just like me and have a really happy outhouse.” LOL You’re the only content provider I follow where I actually watch your sponsorship bits. In addition to her many other talents add marketing. Rosie, you’re not happy about the four months it’s taken to complete your latest room. But if you think about it about 99.99% of people in the world couldn’t have done what you did! I could write a long list of your talents, but I won’t, rather I’ll complement you on your carpentry/woodworking skills that you’ve developed. KZbin first suggested to me your chainsaw video and I liked it so much I went back to your first video and watched every one up to the present. I’m actually sad not to have a library of unwatched Wildrosie videos but am very much looking forward to future ones. I thank you more than I can ever say. ❤ I know it’s a bit late in the year (who knows with global climate destabilization) but have you thought of buying a bunch of coal to help keep your wood stove going at night? Put some coal in the stove before you go to bed, stir it up in the morning, then add wood for the rest of the day. p.s. Rosie please please tell me you have a fire extinguisher!

[@RosieGamgee]

watching the decorative dowels being added was so satisfying!

[@pjotrh]

4:49 Now THAT is how you do an ad. Lmao, didnt skip a second of it, too funny !

[@lisabailey6605]

Everything looks so nice and I can’t tell you how happy I am that you have a fireplace!

[@susangarrard2753]

Your fabric looks like a William Morris print from the Art Nouveau period. I love it, and this period celebrated nature and craftsmanship much like your project/channel.

[@zoundstreetop]

Hay bales over the carrots and you can harvest them through the winter. And you may need to borrow a cat. We are all in awe of your wonderful cottage. Can’t wait for you to begin upstairs, and also the kitchen wood stove!

[@elisaa9981]

No need to borrow a cat when you can get two or more for yourself! If you like cats, of course.

[@jodibuchanan128]

I think the pillows turned out beautiful, and I love the cozy, functional room you have created :)

[@unpredictable913]

Yeah!! A new update I was looking forward to! What you have accomplished in these 4 months is huge and stunning. Thanks Rosie for sharing with us one more chapter of this wonderful renovation project. Worth waiting.

[@hosephine1]

Build a wood box to keep full. It will mean you make wood trips all when weather is good, and have a stockpile for really cold nights and days

[@etypiccolo]

The logs on top of the wood burner seem very dangerous

[@maryannknox7158]

Extremely DANGEROUS a log 🪵 on a wood stove is a fire 🔥 hazard ⚠️

[@andersjonsson7218]

To achieve better heat, you should install internal windows (winter windows) that prevent cold drafts at the windows. You should (read must) fit a cover on your chimney (a hat). Otherwise, you will have problems with moisture in the future. However, I am hugely impressed by what you do And remember: Experience is the name you give your mistakes

[@melissaeden1219]

You home is so inspiring, and all the more beautiful because you've done it yourself (and I love the flowered pillows--just a touch of brightness in the serenity). Thank you so much for sharing the journey.

[@rb2530]

Noticed the drying wood on top of the wood stove, just a fyi, but wood auto ignites at 250-300 C

[@s.kurzeck3020]

You have gone an amazing path. Those winter drone flights were breathtaking, and your home making is auch a cozy comfortable contrast. I love that cushion fabric!

[@julesiou12]

Oh Rosie you are one inspiring woman. You said 4 months like it took ages. Just look at what you've achieved on your own. You forget you've made your garden and your small cottage at the same time. You're actually some kind of super woman. I love the fabric on your cushions. Makes a cosy touch and very homely. As for those small cupboards I think they are such a great idea because we all have random things we can't find homes for. What's lovely to watch is how you are tailoring your home to your needs. Every woman's dream. As I said, so inspiring x x x

[@maryannknox7158]

Rosie you truly have accomplished a lot.Ive heated my house 🏡 for years and years putting wood 🪵 on top of a wood 🪵 stove surface is a no no ! Please 🙏 be careful.A rod iron small wood rack is advisable…..I know you don’t have experience with operating a wood 🪵 stove and all the in and out of having one but you will learn

[@novamangnus5796]

Four months is a short amount of time for all the work u did. Make sure u give yourself a pat on the back. That was no easy task. We're proud of u girly.

[@suzannehicks5856]

So glad for your new video! I sat and watched all your vids from oldest to newest for the first time last week so I couldn’t wait until your newest update. You are an amazing young lady!

[@trudiegordon6327]

You need a lovely dark wicker basket for your logs. Cosy red blanket - plaid maybe with fringes.

[@jillbork2683]

You need a heat powered fan, to place on top of your stove. My parents use one all winter and it really works well.

[@xpsxps1339]

Hi Rosie! My first thought when I watched this video was - that you are a very (manually and overall) handy and thoughtful designer, but I think, you are primarily a filmmaker. The profi one! Your videos are so picturesque and peaceful, with the right length, sequences, music, dynamics... They are a pure joy to watch! Lovely! Now, my two cents to your house. Dear, Great job with your cabinets (I'm a big fan of thoughtful use of every inch; one then realizes that even a small house can fit a lot of things; sic...!), and also with the sewing. Just one note. (To sewing.) Textile is a fantastic thing. Still, it gets dirty and needs to be washed at least from time to time. Even in a single-person and tidy household like yours, lol. Fixed covers made of some sturdy, smooth, solid, and yes(!) cheap fabric that would protect both - the mattress and the cushion filling would be a well-serving solution. And the decorative ones you have already sewn could be removed and washed as needed. I know; you have already done so much, and I want to add more work for you, lol. But it's a better solution in the long run. Tiny dust particles from the fillings would also remain inside the permanently attached covers. And the best thing is that you can do this at any time. (If you decide so🙂, I meant.) Now, you can just enjoy what you already have (done). It's a beautiful room! Are you going to decorate for Christmas this year? I hope so 🙂! I live in the South and envy you all the white romance around, lol. Fairy tale...! Happy interior renovation and a peaceful wintertime!

[@SindyBoyle]

A beautiful bespoke range of very useful storage spaces. It's amazing to know that you did this all by yourself. I also love the subtle soft colours/patterns of nature on your cushion covers. You'll be surprised how much wood you need for a fire. You can never have too much. On your wonderful drone shots I see lots of fallen trees around your home, if you get a chance maybe build something simple outdoors in preparation for harvesting and storing the trees as soon as the winter thaw starts before they get too wet ant start to rot. I'd also invest in a wood moisture content meter for your newly cut wood, they are inexpensive and a vital tool in burning only wood that maximises the burn energy of your wood but drier wood makes for a cleaner/safer flue.

[@SylvieLefebvre-l8r]

Great idea !

[@davidmurphy1653]

I love watching women do DIY ,l like the fact that they can see and do things for them selves without relying on us men doing for them.❤❤❤❤❤

[@ianski65]

Great work Rosie, really love your vids. I think you need a track saw, it would make your life so much easier. Excellent though. Stay happy and safe in your nice warm cabin. 🫡

[@lisachurchill-hendrix3614]

pillows are beautiful

[@KonTikiBea]

dont worry garden will do better when you have time to focus on it more :) you have come so far since you started I am amazed at the difference ~ you should be very proud of all you've accomplished :)

[@daniellehendriks5992]

Save the very small pieces of wood in a basket near your woodburner. They need to be ultra dry. Then, everytime you want to make a fire... Use the tiny pieces in the middle and stack 3 of 4 large (dry) pieces around that.... Make a tipi shape. Than light the small pieces in the middle... They catch fire quickly and then they will light the larger pieces. When the fire is really going, make sure you keep feed it with large pieces. And yes, you are going to need more than that one load. Also, make a woodpile near your back door!! Come winter it isn't fun to have to climb over a meter (or more😮) snow to get to your wood supply. Good luck 😅

[@ritamailheau771]

Wow!! Looks great. I honestly would not call having this livable space a student room. There isn’t any space elsewhere in the house due to your construction studio. Things will transform in due time. Really glad to hear about the extra firewood. The house is looking great. FYI: curtains can help with insulation of windows. Not exactly your style but on cold winter days, the added warmth might be needed.

[@janinedevilliers510]

I agree. Blackout curtains are thick, keep out the light, and keep warmth in. We need dark rooms when we sleep for seratonin. No computer lights, etc. Keeping the heat in with curtains helps alot. I live in cold N Germany and we have snow here. The curtains can be take down in summer if necessary, but they are a must in winter imo. 🤔

[@hannikulju9990]

Light is not the "problem" here in North wintertime(darkness is), but I think Rosie can create curtains-solution that will suit her if she wants to try it.

[@hannikulju9990]

And as You nailed it...wow again...we all like it A LOT. How much she has achieved.

[@valerienelson3296]

She could always do the clear plastic you put in the outside of your windows and use a blow dryer to get a good fit. They have come a long ways and look just like the window. I live in Alaska and at present only get about 6hrs of daylight, so only have 12 inch crochet like valances and that's almost to much. I want to let every bit of light in. Many here use blackout curtains for summer though when we inly get a few hours of true darkness.

[@michaelhall4682]

"Still living in the one room". However, it's your house, your room, your design, your work. That's a big difference! Well done. Really interesting videos!

[@artstartdiy]

Don’t worry, I’ve found that belongings morph to fill the space. Surely you have some beautiful branches, seed pods etc to fill the space. Another thought I had was have you thought of getting a collapsible bath tub now the weather is frigid? They fold down to 22 cm and would be lovely to have now you have a fireplace. Also you’re losing a lot of heat through your windows, enough fabric for curtains? Room looks great❤️✨

[@enjaw9479]

Yes, curtains help a lot!
