AWESOME!!!! I love your greenhouse!!! Your husband reminds me of mine. So caring and hardworking! I appreciated your thoughts on finding in your life what gives you peace and enjoyment. Those moments when you take a deep breath, exhale and can feel yourself physically and mentally relax. I hope to be able to build our greenhouse next year. There are a bunch of neat old windows in our cabin and we are pulling them out and saving them to use in the future greenhouse build. Would love to see videos of old junk around your place. LOL. Thanks for sharing! ;)-Dede

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thanks, Dede! It is beautiful and every time I go in there I can feel all the love that went into it. I'm looking forward to watching some more of your videos. Go check out Swamp Creek Cabin! :)

[@bryanblanton2046]

Oh my gosh😂 this video was an older one. But, I can just see the joy and happiness in y'alls eyes. It's crazy how time flies, and if that's the same green house where you harvested all your onions "that's purple now😅" then he did an amazing job. And look at you today. Because it is your calmness, peace and joy. I just love that. 😊 you guys haven't aged a bit from 6 years ago/this video.

[@leslieringer8001]

Your after thoughts on how much you cared about the green house and how it made you feel and how much you appreciate your husband made me cry. You and Dan are such wonderful people.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Just thinking about it makes me feel so much gratitude. Thank you for reminding me.❤️

[@melissadimoush8196]

Oh my gosh, how cute is Dan? And talented. Love this video. ❤️

[@catracampolieto8989]

Your greenhouse is absolutely beautiful.

[@lisabooker6405]

OMGOODNESS! You two are just PERFECT!!! TFS Chelsea and Dan! Blessings to you and yours ~Lisa

[@beyondmountainshomestead2468]

The greenhouse is awesome, great work Farmer Dan !!! The garden is enormous, but I suppose it needs to be that big when you are feeding a small village. Looking forward to seeing it progress throughout the summer.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I'm a little terrified about the weeding that will be involved this summer... Farmer Dan says, Thank you!

[@feather1696]

I LOVE it!!! So wonderful to see inside your lives and hearts. Miss you all 😓

[@georgialesley2185]

You guys are so cute together!! I am allowed to say that cause I'm the Mom (Daniel's) This greenhouse is absolutely beautiful, I can totally understand how you feel about it and in it Chels. Daniel you are amazing. I can't wait to come and see all the work you guys have been doing soon, and wow! that is one BIG garden! Great job you two! xo

[@cllnplmr]

Georgia Lesley I COMPLETELY AGREE! What a dear son you've raised! Blessings on you all!

[@georgialesley2185]

Thank you Colleen, I am truly soooo grateful for our family!

[@jenns6063]

You obviously did an incredible job with that son!!! Wow!!!!!

[@pennysantana7809]

How loving, filled me with joy the love your husband and you have together. The greenhouse is awsome. God bless 💝🙏

[@codedesigns9284]

A genuinely fun video and journey!

[@chick-a-bee-farm]

Girl! That green house is .amazing and I am so jealous, but so happy for you too!! I love how tall it is. You could grow an avocado tree in there! Woo hoo!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much! I'll do a greenhouse update in the next week. The tomatoes are growing like crazy in there!

[@gingerkoel5608]

Beautiful life you two are building together. Love how grateful you are, and those sweet kids are wonderful. I will be watching more or these videos, great work!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much! I'm happy to have you here.

[@1mounteer]

we used the openers from lee valley to open our vents...they are automatic , so as it warms up they open and at night they close...they have been working fantastically for 9 years..pretty basic concept either bi-metal or an oil in a cylinder, not sure...they are a little expensive, but seriously for nine years and no problems and totally automatic...well done dan...i am getting another greenhouse for fall and spring plantings going in the next year or so...thanks for the inspiration

[@LittleMountainRanch]

What an awesome idea! I'm going to look into that!

[@moregardening5014]

That greenhouse is utter perfection! I just found your channel, and I love it! You guys are great and really fun to watch!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much! Now if only I could convince that husband of mine to come on camera with me more often! 🙂

[@moregardening5014]

Oh you should! He was great! Just get him to talk to you instead of the camera, that’s when he was the most engaging. You guys are absolutely adorable together!

[@mountainsidefarm8357]

WELL worth it - not to mention all the love put into it. What a wonderful healing place to grow food for your family!!! 🙏🏻😍💞

[@catprevette9471]

It’s very cool seeing another generation doing the homestead thing. Nice that you talk about it. XOX

[@kathymickle6915]

I would have just as excited if not more, Chelsea you are so lucky to have this little piece of heaven. It’s complete perfection in my opinion. 👏🙌👊

[@jamiesmith1343]

What a wonderful husband you have! Almost as great as mine! lol. I am thinking about a greenhouse, but I want it connected to the house so I can go into it from inside the house. Plants make me happy and having a green room I could go to easily in the winter , is my goal. You are such a wonderful and loving family and I enjoy your video's very much. Give that beautiful dog a hug for me!

[@onedazinn998]

Lovely :) I totally get how you feel in that greenhouse space. If you've ever seen Bealtaine Cottage channel, she embraces her greenhouse in the same way including a dining room table for guests and a swing for morning coffee visits o.- I love what you guys did including the green paint because it blends into the landscape. :) Love your channel & you are all so blessed.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to get in there and start growing again this year!

[@onassignment1]

I loved the two of you together! It reminded me of a time in my journey, when my husband made me a greenhouse. I loved it. It was tiny but gave me so much peace and comfort as I dabbled at gardening.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I was actually out working in the greenhouse today for the first time and it was awesome! Thanks so much for watching!

[@Bigfamilyhomestead]

Wow, cool greenhouse, I'm green with envy! You guys make great videos, keep up the good work!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much for stopping by, we really appreciate it!

[@deeferry6520]

Love it, great greenhouse. Nice to see you both so happy. Its a great place to hang a washing line to dry sheets etc in the winter when you're not using the greenhouse for its normal use.

[@changingwindsfarm2087]

Love the greenhouse! Dan should do more of the videos with you and he would be more comfortable with it, lol. Great job!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I've been telling him that! Lol

[@debsenritchedrefuge603]

This is awesome green house! You Two are the best! You have a beautiful Ranch and property! Thanks for the ideas!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

The greenhouse is amazing. Love it!

[@WhiteHouse1037]

You look so young. Just fun to watch and such a great rewarding life and family. Enjoy and be safe.

[@jackieburnett6881]

Fabulous! I love the green house!

[@katiemclam6926]

I love your greenhouse and farmer Dan is a total keeper!! Dan, you're a natural in front of the camera too!👍👍

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I totally agree! Now if only I could convince him of that.😉

[@ThisWomansBrain]

It's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChickaWoofRanch]

We've been kicking around the idea of building a green house so thank you for sharing your experience. I had something very similar in mind... Thanks again.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

You're welcome! I'm going to dig my beds a little deeper and mulch more intensely next year (the beds dried out too quickly) but other than that it worked great.

[@debsenritchedrefuge603]

This is an awesome green house! You two are the best! Beautiful Ranch and property!

[@marcofonseca4511]

Great job Dan ...will be Fantastic greenhouse

[@LittleMountainRanch]

He says, thank you! 🙂

[@FensterfarmGreenhouse]

You guys are adorable! The greenhouse is really nice! Loved the video! Chuck

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you! It was fun to make. Now, if only I can convince Farmer Dan to come on camera more often! :)

[@dollyperry3020]

Dan....I'm so glad to see you in a video! I'm sure my hubby would be uncomfortable in front the camera also! But truely it is good to see you!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I’ll tell him you said so. Maybe that will encourage him to come on again soon! 😊

[@carolynmoody9460]

What a beautiful world ..it was great to see to two together.. Blessings

[@CrMizer]

You two are so adorable! Love the green house.

[@dugchris2009]

Looks great! Congrats!

[@karla.30]

Living in Minnesota on our 5 acre Hobby farm I would LOVE to have a greenhouse! Someday.... At least I finally have my new chicken coop and 15 new hens to begin fresh eggs again in the spring! Thanks for your great videos, I am really inspired :) Blessings

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I’m so happy you’re enjoying them! That made my day.

[@jessicacannon7330]

I admire you both, and all you are doing to take care of your family.

[@jeanneorr7838]

Very nice!!!

[@eddieslittlestack7919]

Nice greenhouse! The green paint is 100% fitting!

[@mauricebrown9094]

I think once that little boy took his end of the tape measure to the post and you held the other end and marked out where the frame was going , from then on you knew it wasn't going to be small greenhouse. Cost will fade after all the goodies that come out of it .. So you have to walk around the garden to get to the green house?? You both did a great job.. Gardening is peaceful.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I now have a path to it through the orchard and garden. I love it!😊

[@Miss449686]

Great greenhouse -- I am sure it will be a source of happiness for you.

[@smallspaceswithGloria]

I love your green house😊

[@lynsmith2698]

Looks fab

[@HewettHomestead]

WOW that green house is awesome...we dont really need one living in florida...we get about 4 whole days a year below freezing.. my veggies will keep growing well into December!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Lucky you! I dream of living in the south in mid-winter when we're under 3 feet of snow!

[@mountainsidefarm8357]

Honestly when I want a huge smile on my face I watch this video again! I really L O V E your greenhouse! and you two are just so amazing!! 💜

[@LittleMountainRanch]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@msashes1994]

after watching a ton of your new videos.. i figured i should start from the very beginning. Dan has come along way being on camera! lol

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thanks! From Daniel….

[@graywoodhomestead845]

I love you guys so much!!!! and the green house is freaking awesome!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Just think, you get to take care of it for 3 whole days!

[@cleverblonde4406]

You are getting very good on camera Dan. You did do a good job with the shade house.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you very much!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Chuck sent me over, and I'm glad he did!! I am going to attempt a greenhouse this year, and your looks awesome!! Great job Dan. Nice to see some other Canadians as well! All the best this year, Ryan :)

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you! Glad you came over. I love finding Canadian content, too. I’ll tell Dan you said so.

[@MsCaterific]

Love it! Want it! I need to get me "a farmer dan" haha

[@lynhanna917]

love the bent metal wire idea - I will be using that on my small chicken run, I am currently using thin rope but my fear is the rope breaking and me stuck in the run, love your videos.

[@tracyfarebrother2018]

Loved seeing u 2gether loved ur banter lol xxx

[@LittleMountainRanch]

If only I could get him on camera more!!😊

[@annlanham211]

Perfect

[@marialegaux9007]

Love the greenhouse. You guys make a cute couple

[@LittleMountainRanch]

After 27 years we are still mad about each other.😉

[@mountainsidefarm8357]

Ahahahaha - I am laughing out loud SO hard!!!! Ahahaha!!!! Omg you two are SO cute! You two remind me of Jim and I! Lol I don’t know how I missed this one. I am nursing my splay leg chick back and while I’m feeding her - (she’s doing really well!) and binge watching your videos. 😃 there are a couple I missed surprisingly.... Farmer Dan - more of you and Chelsea together! Big love!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

That’s awesome that the little chick is on the mend! I’m working on getting Dan in more videos.❤️

[@massivecock5164]

Love greenhouse

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you.

[@tracycollins5272]

I am passionately in love with your greenhouse. You have a gorgeous place and a sweet marriage!

[@karie3]

I absolutely love your greenhouse. It is a huge dream of mine, to have my own greenhouse. My husband says let's just buy a kit, but when I look at the prices, it makes me a little ill to see how expensive they are. Do you have a video or do you have it written somewhere, what exact materials you used? Your greenhouse is big and beautiful and I think the cost of $1900 is so cheap for such a nice greenhouse. My husband is very handy like yours, so I know he could do it. So glad I stumbled upon your channel.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

No, but I can get it for you. I guess I need to start a website and get all this information in one place!😊

[@karie3]

@@LittleMountainRanch thank you so much! I really think my husband would build it for me if we knew which materials were the best, and cost effective. I have found so many greenhouse kits and for the good ones they are really expensive. My Dad built one for my mom using all old windows. It's really cool and antique looking, matches their house, wood and rock home. But we live in a small town so we have to go with a different style. Any information you can send my way, would be greatly appreciated. I showed my husband your video and I really think I am getting him talked into this. I am an avid gardener and it's my dream to have a greenhouse.

[@jenns6063]

Wow! Can you possibly post instructions for the greenhouse? It is so very beautiful, as is your marriage! What an inspiration you two are and thank you for your witness to the beauty of "and the two shall become one"!!!!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Ah, thank you so much!💗

[@sundancer442]

Hi there, new sub here from Australia. Lovin the vids'. Got the tip from Dirtpatch.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much for subscribing! Welcome!

[@raincoast9010]

Just wondering if you ever anchored the base by perhaps driving some rebar down through the "foundation" to give some stability against wind?

[@LittleMountainRanch]

We don’t live in an area where wind is an issue, thankfully. The combined weight of the building is sufficient to hold it in place. Great suggestion, though, thank you!

[@cathyhebert9292]

Can you link what you used for the walls?

[@georgegoertzen4723]

What is it going to cost to heat all that surface? Are you planning on growing coconut palms?

[@SherryEllesson]

Chelsea and Dan - I'm just now seeing this and about to pull the bad siding & part of the roof off my small barn (20 x 24) and make it into a "sort of" greenhouse. I've heard of the Tuff Tex - what was the other stuff you were so disappointed with? I want to make sure I don't try to use it.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Palruf - Tuff Tex is awesome and worth the price difference. Good luck!😊

[@deani0302]

Very sweet video, it amused me a lot :D Well, one recommendation if you have not bumped into that topic yet...with this hight of the greenhouse , it worth considering to do a vertical garden :) in that way you can increase your yeald per square meter. (You can make it easily using PVC tubes. That tool that Dan holds in his hand at the end part and he counts the distance with, looks like something that can be used to push tiny wholes in the soil and sow seeds in, so the seeds are equally distanced from each other...just an idea :D

[@LittleMountainRanch]

That video makes me smile, too.😊 I do pretty tight planting in there, prune my tomatoes pretty hard and grow them up on twine - I also tried cukes in there this year trellised, so we’ll see if that works.

[@deani0302]

I am sure they will grow like crazy :D I saw your video about thinking to give up pigs, well just another idea to pass your time with kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHPWoYVopZWMj68 and though it is a bit cheaper than raising pigs, but I must say it is NOT easy to keep a fish alive XD.The trick with aquaponics that you cannot use anything, so you need to keep an eye on insects :S, because you cannot use pesticides. In the video you can see some of those vertical tubes in the back ground. All right, I guess I stop throwing my brainstorm on you :D Good luck with the summer period, I am sure you will be snowed with work around the ranch this time of the year. And also best of luck with your channel, you're doing it great :)

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much! 💚

[@ted70281]

Fun

[@annettem14]

Love it! lovely greenhouse and garden. just wondering if you will do canning videos in the future?

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Absolutely! I love to can and have been doing it for years. Is there anything in particular you want to try canning this year? I can try to do a video/videos based on some of the things you would like to learn.

[@annettem14]

Excellent! Oh anything really, whenever you can, take us along. I have only canned a little in the past and want to learn more. Keep it up. You're doing great!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Sounds good. I will be doing different kinds of pickles, both canned and fermented, tomatoes and everything tomato related and lots and lots of fruit and jam! Thanks for the encouragement!

[@annettem14]

Little Mountain Ranch Yes! Sounds wonderful. I'm interested in them all. Looking forward to it 👍

[@susananderson9619]

Oh I was going to guess 12,000.00 But you said ,total, 1,900.00 AMAZING

[@Ksransonia]

❤

[@aprilgarrahan3245]

👍

[@cityonthehillyouthfoundation]

Hey Guys! This greenhouse looks great I have a youth organization and we want to build one and this is the design we want to go with. So is tough Tex the name of the panels you used? do you remember the spacing on the studs and the size of the panels?

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Yes. 16 inch standard framing. I’m not sure the size of the panels, but they are just standard as far as I remember. Dan says it make sure to use the foam strips.

[@cityonthehillyouthfoundation]

Thank for your reply I’m looking forward to building this ! I’m assuming the foam strips will be offered with the panels ,and they go on the studs and you screw the panels to the strips as well as the studs to keep everything even also for the purpose of insulation? Sorry for all questions I’m just really trying to count the cost before going into this we are a small nonprofit

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Yes, that’s exactly it. We opted out of them, but regretted it after. I would love to See a picture of it when you’re finished - you can find my on Instagram.😊

[@steveandjacquie]

How did the greenhouse hold up with the snow this winter?

[@LittleMountainRanch]

No problems with it at all. It’s a really solid building.

[@steveandjacquie]

Little Mountain Ranch awesome! Will probably go with same material then. . Thanks!👍

[@raycut8]

Want to see the stuff

[@JamenZ]

Pretty funny....lol

[@bshears1000]

That's quite the pencil sticking out of your head Dan! Looks like you need a bandage! Kyle says you're going to need more venting - going to get too hot. He's usually right about these things... ;)

[@LittleMountainRanch]

We added a fan and with the door open I think it'll be ok... If not, more vents it is! The pencil!!! I swear, it's always sticking out of his head like that - he doesn't even notice it anymore. lol

[@robingirven4570]

I wish there were a LICE button. Your hubs is a lot like mine. He does for me and has no idea how much it means.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

just a small tip, I would have painted all the lumber first then once it was up tuch up any marks, lo easier then the honey climbing all over, then again my cheating ex wife once we were married wanted nothing to do with any of the animals or eggs except to give hundreds away to her family an friends after I did all the work witch included washing, she wanted to move to town when I had told her when she asked to get married in 1998 that don't ever ask to move from here if we do get married

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Good tip.

[@trguitarlesson]

What are the dimensions of this beautiful greenhouse?

[@LittleMountainRanch]

If I remember correctly it’s 10 by 15.😊

[@trguitarlesson]

Little Mountain Ranch thanks for the reply! We are in upstate SC and are possibly looking to build a glass greenhouse with geothermal heating. Is there any advantage to the high tunnel vs a greenhouse? We’re possibly looking to plant and do nursery stuff all year round. And grow citrus directly into the ground?

[@georgegoertzen4723]

I will say it is a beautiful building, but the operating costs have to be through the roof, pun intended

[@LittleMountainRanch]

We grow tomatoes in there and only grow during the summer months. We will be building an all season greenhouse in the spring. This greenhouse is not intended as a cold season greenhouse and doesn’t require heating.

[@susananderson9619]

Not such a little garden,girl
