Mini Green House Container Gardening EASY Tote Lid Cold Frame to Start Seeds & Plants in the Garden

[@jujube2407]

My 40 yards of tulle came today! My husband was like you're gonna do what now? Lol

[@tabandken8562]

My husband responded the same way. Now I'm wondering if it'll work well as shade cloth and does it have to be black?

[@jujube2407]

@@tabandken8562 I'd imagine you need to use it a few layers thick as shade cloth...no it doesn't have to be black...but black and green will blend in best

[@tabandken8562]

@@jujube2407 It looks like even if I had to double or triple it, it's still cheaper than shade cloth.

[@jujube2407]

@@tabandken8562 it truly depends on how much you need! I have a teeny tiny 5x17 foot area...it's a great price for me to do tons with... someone with 40 acres probably Not! Lol ❤️ I'm headed to lowes tomorrow for some wire to make a tall dome like cloche for my dinosaur kale pots sooo excited

It's been warm enough today that I have been out with my baby seedlings. My broccoli is starting to bolt and I thought of Kitty when looking at it. My one pok Choy has already bolted and has beautiful yellow flowers. These were all grown in my little greenhouse over winter. I love your tote lids.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I have done some tomatoes in a bucket and some lettuce. I need to do a lot of tomatoes and over vegetables. My plan is to can everything I grow for my family. I am an empty nester, but our children and grandchildren always come home to see what I am making.

Your zucchinis that grow too big into marrows, let them harden up, they store like pumpkins 6mths or more. I had one i cut off the plant, left it sitting on a table outside for several months. I was going to cut up for compost, it had its umbilical cord still on, that stop it rotting. I took it inside to cut, found it sound and fleshy, peeled it, cooked it and it was yummy. I add this to onions and tomatoes and made tomato soup, best soup ever. Cheers from Australia.

Hi there. I've just recently found ur videos and I love the concept. Because of ur video, I'm going to try a get some of my own tomatoes again this yr. Never had much luck with them in the ground so ur tote idea is sounding very positive for me. I'm in Ontario Canada, pretty much across the lake in Michigan so I'm hoping there zone is the same as mine. And already behind planting the seedlings but u make it look so easy. I can go out and buy what is needed but ur way looks like fun so I'm doing it that way. Thank you....... Marion...... Ontario Canada.👍

[@emylytle5409]

You always have an excellent tips for growing veggies and tips where to plant them, but I would like to have your area, cuz its hidden. Mine is a corner lot and my husband doesnt like to make the front of the House look like circus 😊😆 I was Able to build a raised bed with old wooden fence and that made even harder for me to convince him I would like to put in every lawn 😊😬 but he won’t say yes, so I only made one 3’x8’x12” and I didn’t plant veggies he loves color so I planted flowers 🌸, thanks again for this excellent ideas I wish I could do whatever I want for the 3 green lawns I have. 🙏🏻👍👍♥️

[@lastone1759]

Love your video. But I have a question? My son and I have been thinking of starting a tote garden on or patio and I like that idea of making a lid for the tote but say if we want to grow fully in our tote is it OK to leave the lid on? I figure on making a screen so that sun light can pass through. We get a lot of raccoons and rabbits and posom through our yard,and I just want to keep them from eating up our food. Lol. Thanks.

Robbie - Head's up - Just saw on my weather guy channel that you'll be getting some nasty weather this week - 3-27-22. Careful with your plants.

I’ve used Sharpies to garden label. It faded away here in south Alabama. I’m enjoying your channel. Thank you.

I finally got some "garden markers" which I ordered from an office supply store. They are like sharpies but don't seem to fade at all. I'm also in the south and UV is an issue.

Hello. Robbie. Nora here, your seedlings are doing really well.Your section where you sit and have your coffee is Lovely did you paint the chair? I started some mint also. i had some mint in a water bottle and they started getting roots, so there now planted in a high top tote, there really taking off. I use mint in my Tea and health drinks. AWE.Miss Kitty is so Adorable, I feel like hugging her. Love the ideas . We will be saving so much money on what we Grow. Thanks Robbie and Gary.

I love your fun way of gardening. How do you make those tall black frames for the totes? What materials do you use?

!! I hate the hardening off process so much, I refused to do it after the first year. Thank you, robbie, another problem solved!

[@tinai2744]

It's so exciting but I had to move to an apartment with a balcony in shade.. any suggestions of what to grow besides potatoes in 5 gal buckets??

[@yellowbird5411]

Excellent video. I am starting seeds in covered containers, but much smaller, and they are clear. I use their own lids, which have a little pour spout, so they can get fresh air. When they get too big I take the lid off. But what cuts that heavy plastic best? It is so easy to severely cut your hand if you don't have the proper cutting tool. Many use knives, and I shudder when I watch videos using box cutters and sharp knives.

[@grod0051]

Hi Robbie. I'm new here and can't find your video on the round top for the tubs. The ones with the tulle and then you can use plastic over it at nite. I am loving, loving your videos!!!!!!!

[@creinicke1000]

Some great ideas.. I've been using the tubs a bit in my AZ valley of the sun. I'm using them as raised beds.. because the ground is mostly rock here by the foothill mountains. I also have used big tubs as wicking tubs.. to help with watering, and wonder if you water your plants inside the tub do you put a hole in bittom of tub to drain water? Or do you let the pots wicking up the extra water. I like the hole to be about 4-5 inches from bottom for wicking and then if we get our rain storms the tub doesn't flood. Love the way you covered with tool and or plastic...

I'm planning on making some cold frames out of pallets but this way looks so easy to do. Thank you for sharing this idea.

[@pumacatD]

If I remember correctly, Robbie showed us in one of her previous videos that she used hot, almost boiling water to soften the lid, pouring it over and then I would use a carpet knife to cut!👋😺
