See the Greenhouse that Saves Us Thousands in Garden Plants

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Awesome guys. I mentioned an exhaust fan for the cooling in the summer. You could probably use a box fan hanging from the ceiling pointed at the vents furthest from the house. As for germination problems the tomatoes, peppers, sunflowers, yellow squash, and zucchini its probably the cooler temps at night. They need to be warm to germinate. I say this only to try and help. Coming from someone who spent my first 24 years of life on a large farm with included greenhouses and still involved in gardening and farming now that I had to leave the farm for a public job for the last 13 years. You guys are awesome. Hope that helps.

Your Greenhouse Is A Dream Come True! I Love That Greenhouse! Hey Jason, Sow The Land! You're The Master Of Greenhouses!😊❤🙏

[@kalieriley8719]

Maybe it’s just me but listening to beauty talk about her garden is sooo relaxing.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Happy you explained it took time to get things together for your garden beds, greenhouse ect... You didn't do it all at once. People need to hear you don't have to go bankrupt buying all this stuff up front. I love what y'all have done on your farm/homestead.

[@highstandards6226]

To increase your germination rates, try soaking your seeds overnight before planting, spritzing with hydrogen peroxide immediately before planting to remove any fungi or mould spores...

[@pepperbasenji1425]

I love my small green house. That you can grow what you love. The best thing about it is that you can have most of your garden planted. Instant garden for the win.

[@emilyblierpeterson3599]

I think you need to cover the 'big seeds ' with soil/compost/potting mix for them to germinate well ( squashes, calendulas, sunfllowers...) + I haave never had much luck with cardboard pots either.

[@jonabriggs8829]

Rebekah is TRULEY a scientific Gardener !! I absolutely LOVED this Video !! Ty so much for doing this Video, I have seen some Video's with her talking here and there about this and that Gardening stuff she was doing, but THIS is what I wanted to see, so ty again

[@Greenbushjosh]

I am so glad to hear that the beautiful one doesn't like thos pots I'm sitting back here going oh no she is going to turn people onto them and the are going to realize the roots suffer BIG TIME and getting root bound is a huge issue and they are JUNK mold is a big issue aswell

[@renebyers6153]

I love that your initiating your pumpkin Care from Little House On The Prairie lessons. 😎👩🏻‍🌾

[@highstandards6226]

You *do know* that marigolds are a natural pest repellent for your vegetables, right? That's why you'll see mennonites planting them in alternating rows in *their* gardens!😉💞

[@calicokid7501]

Ana is awesome! Use her plans all the time... Brilliant!

[@reannamartin6727]

Maybe the greenhouse hasn't been consistent in being warm enough for so many things to not germinate?

[@joannewilson6847]

Thankyou for the tour of your greenhouse. You have put a lot of hard work in Rebekah. Take care, xxx

[@ashergilmour3120]

If you're worried about concrete, research hempcrete! Much more eco-friendly!

[@serling3520]

You guys are so symbiotic. It's beautiful.

[@elisacarcamo9005]

Hi guys, all the news plants look Amazing.......Good job Rebekah. I miss seeing all your kids.

[@annescott6137]

🙋hi from Scotland hi i just love your greenhouse and it dose make a difference growing everything from seed i know when i sow seeds in a tray and as soon as i see them germinate i get all excited you have put a lot of time and hard work in growing it all i grow all my own veg and it is hard moving them in and out till they harden off but when i taste my first tomatoes and pull a fresh carrot then i know its well worth it thank you for taking the time to share your vidio i wish you and your lovely family all the very best good luck with the rest of your seed sowing i will be watching stay safe take care Anne Scott from Scotland

[@geraldinewillis5926]

The pots I find dry out so fast and I don’t like them as I think they affect germination, I love your seed trays

[@jonabriggs8829]

Oh, to me, there is no doubt that the Greenhouse is worth it to you guy's, of course, Rebekah is dedicated to her Plant's, where other's don't take the time and effort like she does to make it work, it may not be worth it to them...Rebekah is just amazing :)

[@dawnmelanson]

Loved the greenhouse tour! I love growing & tending to flowers & veggies and watching all the sprouts grow. I find it a very good way to get rid of any stress and you gain the added benefits of producing your own food for your family! win win!

[@amyjohnson1556]

Thanks for the great content. For the weeds, consider a flame weeder. It is fun to use and the weeds will absolutely not come back!

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Great suggestion! It's on the wish list :)

[@ccgreen2000]

Please don’t be disappointed but Trust me concrete does not hold heat! I could never get warm (in SC!) living on a slab floor and will never live on concrete again! They radiate “cold” through heavy carpet and padding! And thank you Beauty for the lovely chatty tour of your growing space...I loved the demonstrations, I love your building and have wondered about your 3-sided trays Your love for gardening really shines through...

[@AvaPotterfieldandFriends]

One of these days I will be able to have a greenhouse. Great video

[@stevepeet9841]

I never had good luck with the compostable pots. They wicked the water out of the soil so I'd have to water more and then I'd end up overwatering.

[@doggiemommi22]

I find with the compostable planters they dry so fast that the germination rate is much lower, or if you keep it lightly moist in they'll get moldy. More success with the soil blocks or reusable humidity dome trays.

[@shellscattitude]

Thank you so much for sharing this! My greenhouse is little but I love eating out of my garden vs the store.

[@multi-transportationsystem11]

Awesome creating wealth for your health great video

[@yosemitesaddam]

Zinnias are my favourite. Cleomes are a fun flower to grow too. And they will self sow for the next year

[@josdiepenbeek469]

Thanks for the tour. I go to sleep now, and dream of vegetables. See you!

[@WackyJackVR]

I struggled this year with germination too. My lavendar completely refused to germinate and a few of my squash varieties too. Not entirely sure what is going on either. 😊 just the joy of gambling...I mean planting 🤣

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Thanks, Rebekah! 💙

[@tammyhanson7843]

Shoot the grass and weeds with 100% white vinegar. It works!

[@patprettyman3792]

I am trying hard to container garden right now, and we are new to the area on the Oregon coast. Went out 2 days ago and everything was growing nicely. The next day, 3 tomato plants gone. 1zuchini 2 cukes..gone. I was devestated. Not sure if its deer or what. When you have a problem, find a solution. Its what you say Justin. I will! Pat

[@spencer120]

I notice from videos a while back you do a "learning program" for a few weeks. I'm a 17 year old kid living in NC and want to work for/learn from you, I could show you my forms of farming via aquaponics and maybe even show you a thing or 2 you've never seen. Either way, love your channel and your way of sustainable living. thank you.

[@maryrutigliano1044]

Lupine are blue bonnets, the state flower of Texas, late April early May, we publish pictures of our road sides.

[@alishasimmons1990]

Everytime I look at your videos Rebecca you look just like your mother. 😀

[@margaretfry3043]

Lupine are perennial but grow best in bad soil. All thru the ditches in the Kooteny

[@robertsantiago4329]

Hi Justin great video,s as always Wantid to ask your question about the greenhouse Is it possible to put an exhaust fan to keep it cooler in there Greenhouse

[@brianhobbs772]

Do you all have a soil recipe for your seed starts? Looks like extra perlite, I prefer to make it nice and chunky with that stuff! Love the content guys thank you

[@kimbrady2871]

Baker Creek has a Nadapeno pepper variety. It has the flavor of jalapeño but not the heat.

[@paulrice1918]

Rebecca you save so much money for the farm. Not only your garden but what you do with the milk.

[@larryr.johnson3048]

Be sure to rip off the top edge of those peat pots when you transplant as if you don’t the peat will wick moisture away from the plant. You might want to try New Zealand spinach as it loves the heat, doesn’t bolt, tastes great, not gritty and the more it’s pinched the more it branches. It can be cooked like spinach or used raw in salads we like it better than regular spinach and is great to replace lettuce.

[@silpalhano5967]

Concrete floor you will have to clean it all the time with all dirt and water that falls in it. Keep it in mind

[@rehanjavaid6103]

Very great video brother💖💖💪💪✌✌✌

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Thanks ✌

[@christinedehn3257]

Itmay have been too warm in your greenhouse for some things to germinate. Calendula likes soil from 65-79 degrees.

[@vickireynolds7039]

Thank you Becky

[@highstandards6226]

Love that soil blocker!

[@TheHorsefan12]

It does seem like those trays are hindering germination... I do know biodegradable pots wick moisture, so that might be a factor!

[@milliway2010]

I love Moon & Stars! They are so pretty and tasty too. The only problem is they don't always make it into the house!

[@brendan3081]

Its funny how we all do the grass is greener on the other side sorta thing....im in AZ and we are getting to 105 during the day already, and i would LOVE for our temps to be what they have still....yet where they are they find the colder weather to be counter productive to what they want to do and grow

[@paradoxchild01]

Until I read Farmer boy to my girls I had no idea how they did milk fed pumpkins.

[@leegarner4111]

Well worth the price you paid for the green house,I try and grow most of mine,I dont have a green house I have a cold frame,but I can start plants weeks in advance.Im having the same problem a lot of my seeds did not germinate either.Could it be from all the rain and over cast skies?

[@zulmaquirindongo6977]

I need that greenhouse in my life!

[@francineclave2207]

Rebekah I noticed the part of your flats closest to the plastic walls seem to be the most barren. Perhaps it gets to hot to germinate when the tray is so close to the wall? Just guessing....

[@stephanieganas6872]

What do you use for a base of your boxes? Do the seedlings drain well?

[@diannevaldez8670]

Hello, have you grown zinnias in the greenhouse before? I’ve always direct seeded them because I have always heard they don’t transplant well or start well in the greenhouse?

[@RedRoadgifts]

Nice Planning

[@alishasimmons1990]

Rebecca I grow mammoth sunflowers right in the ground and they grow to up to 8 ft. I do live in Texas.

[@janetk9536]

Shasta Daisy's are beautiful and come up yearly here

[@intentionalhomesteadingmi]

Could there be an issue with your starting soil for the poor germination on so many different things? Such a bummer! I looove your space though. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@PureOhio]

Do you have any issues with soil blocks not staying together?

[@randywalker6882]

We tried those paper pots to start seeds in too. We too did not have good success with them. Spotty germination, mold or something growing on them. We definitely won't use them again.

[@Booth_Y0]

I wonder if them pots wick the moisture out of the soil and into themselves. Might explain the poor germination ? Just a guess :)

[@rodbutler1825]

where do i get them, and how much do the translucent roof panel cost???

[@ldg2655]

I wonder if your germination rate could be from using old seeds? I’ve read that the viability rate drops FAST from one year to the next in some things.... several of your starts looked to be lush and full. I’ve not heard of the lemon gem marigolds... I’ll have to look for them..

[@TheSmagzilla]

Can you germinate in your own soil? Have you ever had success making your own potting soil with peat/coco core? you have so much fertilizer going on there that i would think could save you even more. Worm Castings? Im only on my 2nd year so still learning.

[@lizgessnermcallister4884]

Ooo keep your seed book in the cold storage

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

We do.

[@curtistape6075]

Looks great although with the tamotillo plant needs another to pollination

[@highstandards6226]

Gives a headstart on a short growing season?

[@feistysympathy2658]

Have you ever planted luffa/did it work for you?

[@brendamisak9834]

Do you preserve your produce (can, freeze, etc)? If so, what method do you prefer?

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

No, we like a winter harvest garden. Eat fresh all year round. "Four Season's Harvest Garden" by Elliot Coleman.

[@CoreyAnneTeacher]

I wonder if it is the soil that is causing the issues with germination. Maybe try another soil and see if germination improves? It seems like you are having germination issues with multiple types of plants and the soil seems to be the only thing that is the same. Just a thought!!

[@franmoyer8527]

How hard is it to grow Romain?

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Very easy early or late in the season.

[@scuzzbecuzz]

Impressive

[@vanlifenomadfirekeeper]

Concrete foor would be awsome.

[@Phaeli]

I also had a bad germination rate this year. So I don't know what happened.

[@patassion]

I have a hard time germinating daisey for seed, two years in a row

[@jarrettsauceman9286]

Haw many seeds do you usually put in one soil block?

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

One.

[@awpearson]

Is it normal to have such a poor germination rate? Could it be the soil?

[@haitammimoun9932]

Justin you must see a doctor for your hand

[@karlasmith6662]

to wet on your germnation of your flower seeds

[@patassion]

Maybe you need light and heat pads

[@andyfeds9237]

Did I miss a video of the green house build?

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

Yes. Several of them, last year around this time.

[@sandraburke2403]

Do seeds react to the Woman's Monthly like Canning does I wonder. My mom always said no canning tomatoes during your cycle. It also affects tomatoe dishes as well. Acid??

[@llttll828]

Curious to know if you guys make milk kefir especially with Rebeccas gut issues

[@theJustinRhodesShow]

No

[@kolololokolo6093]

💚👍

[@gingercatzz3024]

Try soaking your seeds that may be difficult germinating with some hydrogen peroxide in the water.

[@brandonloyo7388]

Yo

[@steveadams99708]

Love the greenhouse tour, but could have done without Justin interrupting and talking over Rebekah. She appears to be very knowledgeable and doesn't need any help with her tour other than a cameraman.

[@estrogenacres801]

you need vents in the roof, or ceiling
