YES TWINKLY LIGHTS IN THE GREENHOUSE!!!!

[@littlecountrykitchen]

I have some in my garden, they make it magical ✨️ ❤🎉

[@cindymaerhodes7936]

Yes, twinkling lights, then add a couple seats and hang out with your plants at night. It will be beautiful.

[@healingnaturegirl333]

Yes ! I vote for the Twinkie lights ✨✨✨✨

[@dnvsmith5760]

Twinkle Twinkle ⭐️ more Twinkle ⭐️

[@cordoesart]

Absolutely yes to the lights!!

[@dmwilsonh]

YES! Twinkle Lights in the greenhouse!!

[@underthetornado]

Tip for fall. When your greenhouse has produced and it's at it's end? Let your chickens go crazy in your greenhouse. They will tear it all up and finish everything off and its really fun and exciting for the chickens!❤

[@bevtrue6937]

There is no "fall" in Panama, only rainy season, etc.

[@lelanoel3499]

They grow year round.

[@NikNikotime]

Great tip!!!!

[@oystergirl99]

Blessing your new garden! Kaylee, just know that kids who grow up in the dirt with animals have a MUCH healthier and stronger gut microbiome and immune system, especially those who have been breastfed. You are doing amazing things for dear Sadie!

[@erindewhirst2044]

Always add “Twinkie lights”!!! They ARE “DOPE” 🙂 Just imagine how magical that will look at night from the patio. Get a solar set!

[@lynnealuebben1967]

I was thinking Sadie needs a playhouse now, or a little make believe fruit stand or something:) Loved the blanket fort. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

[@sharoncochran8508]

Jordan skipping in the greenhouse with Sadie on his back, ADORABLE!

[@TsunamiKitten56]

I'm all for putting twinkle lights in the greenhouse 😂❤

[@Bob-o-h4k]

If you put lights in the greenhouse your plants will not bloom at the right time you guys need to look in to living organics and you will be able to grow anything!!

[@jessicaangeline]

Twinkling lights are a YES!

[@berylhooper1784]

Me too

[@eleanorcramer7986]

I say yes for the “Twinkie lights” as ‘Bobbie’ calls them.

[@mattell56]

Let's call this advice and not a warning: the plastic walls of the greenhouse simply can't stand against the power they are being asked to resist. Think of the Three Little Pigs. Think of the sails on a ship. Your greenhouse walls will act like sails until the plastic rips or the greenhouse breaks. The wind will win. The solution is to leave gaps or overlaps where a strong wind (but not a soft one) can blow through. Makers of large vinyl signs create little circular flaps for this very purpose. You're clever. You'll find a way.

[@kevinwood7353]

..or just replace the plastic tarp with plastic corrugated panels like the roof has.

[@RJ-er3gv]

The way you rolled that bottom plastic water is going to collect in it and rust the steel. It should have been reverse rolled for water to shed. You may want to consider some cross bracing using some steel cables for when the wind really blows.

[@Swoshan]

TWINKLE LIGHTS IN THE GREEN HOUSE! shouldn't even be a question!

[@donnac1155]

Yes! Twinkle lights in the greenhouse! Also, Sadie is totally living her best life on Lola's Farm.

[@jodymooney255]

Twinkle lights in the greenhouse I’m all for! Sadie will love it!❤️

[@MrPeterHaller]

There is no failure they're only lessons on how to do it differently, until you succeed. The only failure is never starting or never completing

[@futurekron]

"Failure?!" You've got a beautiful baby, gorgeous, happy rescue pups, and have built so much with your hands, all with a positive attitude. I'm impressed. Thanks for documenting the "Rome wasn't built in a day" journey.

[@amandachambers8593]

Grow vertically and you will reap a larger harvest in a small space! It's is so good to see the way everyone loves Sadie, she really is thr star of the show now!! ❤

[@debbiehutchinson6698]

We're old enough to be your grandparents. I'm so so proud of you guys. You're great parents and you're so smart. We have 4 acres in Tennessee. I wish that we had someone on the farm to help us. We love all of your builds and we love how Sadie helps you cook and teach her how to do things. I think that she will know more thing's at ten that most 30 year olds know how to do. Keep up the good work . ❤

[@kt.1116]

Come on. You guys bought a pottery barn airstream and a nice truck. I wouldn't say you failed. Life is going great for you guys.

[@sharonadlam3195]

Those 'white worms' are actually curl grubs and they will eat the roots of your baby plants. You may want to feed them to the chooks rather than leaving them in the soil.

[@louisejacques9787]

And Chickens absolutely love em 👍

[@j.gravett2878]

I have blue, green & multi-color twinkly lights in my apt. It's so relaxing to put them on at night. Plus, in the south, when there's going to be a freeze, they tell you to put the lights on your plants & cover them. Playing make believe is very healthy for children. It's what we did growing up. TV watching was minimal. We played outside & made forts, igloos, climbed trees, pretended we were pilgrims, etc. I love the way you're raising her!

[@marcia7196]

I love your green house now put up some thing to catch water so if can wet the garden please.

[@laurathompson9649]

Love the greenhouse, I wish I had one! If it is going to be all closed in with plastic, you may have to hand pollinate your zucchini flowers. And yes, twinkle lights!

[@lindahubbs8146]

Heck yes, lights in greenhouse!

[@mattporter2618]

Just a thought about the plastic on the greenhouse…since you rolled that bottom beam outwards, won’t water get in between and pool? If you rolled it inwards, the gap would not be exposed.

[@jamesclark9347]

You all should have looked into the green ,clear corrugated panels for the green house. One time install! I see you put the clear ones on the roof. Why not the sides?

[@sonyasmith7863]

Great video! Love the greenhouse. I want to learn how to bake my own bread. Could you possibly share your recipe? Please please please!

[@delaney4093]

Yes, twinkle light on the green house would be fun! Maybe Sadie can have a play house, with the same lights too! Let her pick the colors and she can help build it and paint it. Just and idea. Love watching you all!

[@user-nn4ue5ng5x]

No garden twinkle lights bugs,buttttt twinkle lights on the way to greenhouse would look amazing!🎉🎉🎉❤

[@trowdytrav]

The greenhouse is looking awesome! Have you thought about lining the outside walls of the greenhouse in the laser-lite material that you have used on the roof of the greenhouse? Would provide an extra layer of protection to the plastic from any strong winds or objects that could pierce the plastic

[@fredhall5460]

It is amazingly to see what has has occurred in your lives since you reconnected with Kaylee on the back of pickup truck in Boston! I have truly enjoyed being with you two and now three for alll your great adventures since then! Love all of you and keep us all with you while enjoying your lives and adventures! Truly enjoyable and has filled a void in my 85 year life since wife of 56 yrs passed passed 51/2 years ago! A huge thank you!!❤❤❤

[@kinseycompass]

Awww, this makes me cry.😢 I pray you are doing okay these days without you wife of 56 years!! What a beautiful testimony to staying together thru the thick and thin. God bless you always!!❤❤❤

[@Ana-oc5ip]

Just a tip, you need to make sure that the greenhouse still has airflow... Maybe make some hatches that can be opened periodically.

[@ivegotsomethingtosay596]

Good job, guys. Some suggestions - add herbs in the greenhouse to have an herb garden, make Sadie her own tiny home that matches yours, add an electric car for her, and plant the Moringa Tree as it has enough electricity to power the whole farm.

[@amyroy2960]

At the beginning of this video you said you guys cannot see your progress. OMG. You work so hard and you have done so much. We the viewers can see it. It is unbelievable how much you have done. I love watching you.

[@GreenEyes-gv6zj]

The farm is looking great, and so is the new bathroom. And the garden area, wow, just lovely and Sadie. Once again taken the show over LOL.❤💖❤ Sending you love and light!!

[@amamteews1]

Just out of curiosity, why don't you use the same panels for the roof, for the walls?

[@sharimc72]

The method you used for the plastic on the greenhouse is how my husband would cover our windows for winter whenever we lived in a mobile home, in a windy, damp hollow. He used wood though... Lol Oh the good ol days!!

[@ThisOffGridLife]

Woohoo bring on the abundant veggie harvest! 😊

[@vansionliving]

Definitely twinkly lights in the greenhouse! Twinkly lights makes everything better!

[@helensarson8451]

Youl’ll need airflow in your greenhouse too remember. Can you catch rain water off the greenhouse in buckets so you can use it to water your plants❤️

[@ontheroadwithyode390]

Sadie will be the only person in Central America that will speak Spanish and English with a Bostonian accent.

[@dunewalker5567]

Wicked smaht, that Sadie!

[@a2shillam]

Hahaha😂😢😅

[@tammycruz8189]

I was thinking the same thing 😂

[@bevtrue6937]

Fer sure!!

[@kellykelly7747]

That is so funny. My daughter's baby sitter was a French woman who immigrated to New York, then later moved to California. My daughter spoke English with a French New York accent. 😂

[@janiceparnell8707]

This looks terrific. If I could give a little advice, it would be to make sure you rotate your crops inside the greenhouse. For example, if you grow tomatoes in the same soil year after year, soil borne diseases will remain behind in the soil at the end of the year and infect your plants the following year. A four year rotation is optimal but I know people who are doing a three year rotation successfully. Just divide the greenhouse into quarters and rotate every year into a new quarter. You can read about crop rotation online. Good luck - you folks deserve it!

[@maureengonzales2599]

So many wonderful moments in today's video. My favorite was Lola jumping up in excitement at the drone. Pure joy.

[@mkllove]

Jordan, the point loads on the plastic will be the crack or tear that causes it to fail... you can prevent that by rounding all edges, and using a bonding agent/adhesive to spread loads as much as possible to the structural frames... For future use, I'd suggest your making individual made panels to fit inside the structure you've built already, but make them pivot on a vertical axis at top and bottom so they can be removed and/or rotated as needed to repair, or in higher winds, to prevent damage by letting the pressure blow them open or pivot as louvers vs doors on some bungees or springs ? Kaylee.. Can the Mangosteens be dehydrated in your climate, or maybe in the oven for extending their availability ? Another option would be to juice them and freeze that, or make into pops or ice cream perhaps ? Bet you'll have fun trying both ideas out ! ( I hope )

[@skyval7926]

If mom and dad werent so cute and interesting , I'd still watch this for Sadie , she melts my heart , beyond cuteness ❤😊❤

[@jenmurphy7777]

100% twinkle lights in the greenhouse!

[@Mindy56743]

Add the lights! They will look great in the greenhouse

[@trishallain6503]

You need to plant 2 mangosteens trees so you can have as many as you want. You need to always plant at least 2 of each fruit trees for cross pollination. It can be different verities of the same kind of fruit. (Like Granny Smith apples and Red delicious apples for instants ) they are 2 different varieties but both are apple trees. I realized you guys are growing coffee on your farm, but grow some fruit trees along with your vegetables and you will truly be self sustaining. When Sadie says, " Mom I'm hungry, can I have a snack?" You can say, " Yes baby go ahead and pick something off the trees.

[@Jessicka717]

Twinkly lights in the greenhouse!!! Yes!!!

[@itsjubilee2012]

Definitely twinkle lights in the greenhouse😁. Sadie is just so adorable. Blessings to all of you.

[@arthyland]

Love the positive energy on Lola's farm , it radiates everywhere.

[@Iamllumash]

I'm so impressed by the love & fun they have raising Sadie such sweet joy... oh, yeah, 'twinkling lights are dope' & one last thing, 'you guys are crushing it', I love the green house & although it's always been Kaylee's love, Jordan is 100% apart of it..

[@Iamllumash]

Thanks T.N.M..... Love ya'll

[@stacyhorton9906]

Yes to twinkle lights 🙂 Hey, you also have coffee growing now too. Lots to show for the years there!!❤ Thats because you're all awesome! 🥳

[@erinbarrow4819]

Kaylee and Jordan you guys came along way 4yrs and accomplished a lot I'm proud of both of you

[@KarinLynnBates]

I’m sorry the weather was so rough for greenhouse building, but this video was so inspiring! I love your family, your farm, and all those friends who make it what it is. ❤

[@KarinLynnBates]

@@jgoo4572 You can pay your friends for labor they do! 😉 Doesn’t negate their being friends to give them money for help!

[@lynettakirk2597]

Twinkling lights!! A must!!

[@underthetornado]

Good luck with the garden. I think you've got it now!❤😂

[@Inconcvable77]

💯 Twinkly/Fairy lights in the green house!!❤ You should set up a watering system in there too...

[@jamesmartin159]

Yes to twinkle lights!! Everywhere

[@yvettepugin4035]

Twinkly lights ARE the bomb and will make the greenhouse dope ❤👌👏- loving the progress. OMG Sadie with the make belief is so darn cute - you go girl, be that mama, and play those games with her. Let her be a little girl as long as possible.

[@belindapoplin5439]

First off, twinkle lights for the greenhouse 😅❤! So amazing to see what's behind those brilliant smiles that are on your faces daily! The quality of character that is your inner circle is next level ; what awesome people you have around you!! Little Sade is possibly the most adorable little one in the universe and it's so great to see her growing up so happily and wholesomely, so thank you for sharing that with us ❤❤❤ Long live Lola's Farm and all those who are a part 😅

[@dannettebouchee9887]

Love the greenhouse love Sadie’s long hair. One question on growing in the greenhouse, have you looked at growing vertical growing tubes made from PVC tubing?

[@simplysusan.5625]

Can't watch enough Sadie! So adorable. Love she's included so much. Such a precious age.

[@KerryBlue72]

Twinkly lights ARE DOPE!🙌🏼❤️💚💜🫵🏼😃👍🏼

[@thomasbossom207]

Question for you. Why wouldn't you just use the same clear plastic roofing panels for the walls that you used for the roof of the greenhouse? It would never rip and you'd never have to replace it again. Just a thought

[@leomarquie4021]

Definitely need l.e.d. lighting in the greenhouse, (maybe not flashing/blinking though..). Thinking you just need to add a rain barrel or two up at the green house for watering. I'm working on my wife's greenhouse right now, (in between other "projects"...lol). I'd love the weather down there as well. Here in Washington State, we have a joke that, "if you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes...it'll change". We have had thunder, lightning, rain, hail, sunshine, and even a small tornado all in 1 day! Thanks for continually sharing your lives with us!

[@michelebushnik2874]

Oh gosh the dogs and the drone😂😂😂. Oh gosh That bread!!! Oh gosh, seeds get a better start in a seedling tray,(little 1 inch pots filled with seed starter mix, and don't put into ground until they have their true leaves, which are about the second, or third layer of leaves up the plant)

[@carolfugaban2071]

I'm blessing your garden and no fail this time ENJOY the JOURNEY LOVE FROM MICHIGAN ❤

[@belizeguy]

Learning and growing all the time. I see no failure, just evolution. You guys are the best!!

[@rsgomes98]

I had a quick question. Why did you end up using the roll plastic instead of the sheet plastic like the roof?

[@indigowarrior8]

I know right, that won't last 5 minutes there!

[@kinseycompass]

I was wondering the same thing...

[@51marshmellow]

Loved watching you get the greenhouse ready and then planted. That was a huge project and seems very sturdy. May the sun shine and your veggies grow.! What do those two fruits taste like? They look wonderful. Voting yes for the twinkle lights and definitely the easy bread recipe! You always pack little extra bits in your videos and they make me laugh. So happy for you that you have crossed off another big achievement. Sadie has the best parents 💯❣❣❣

[@smokielonesome9464]

You should seed some seeds you know...weeds, hemp If you want. The plants are beautiful and usefull

[@fowlerok]

So be sure you keep harvesting kale but I also let several go to seed to catch seeds- keep planting - do the same with all lettuce and mustard greens!!

[@vickyjones3668]

Yes! Twinkie lights in the greenhouse! Plants love ambiance! And Music too! 😊

[@sherrieoconnell3605]

I seriously need your beautiful bread recipe. Would you mind sharing Kaylee? I seriously love love you and live vicariously through you guys!! Any time i need some good energy, i drink in your vids!! ❤❤❤

[@jennymontague851]

You guys work so hard and make it look fun. Love to watch your farm develop. Very best of luck to you all.

[@helenmedlow2764]

Yes to twinky lights in the green house and definitely try some verticle grow pots, especially for herbs, greens and strawberries, I have one on my porch and I grow loads in it, they increase your growing capacity loads, mines called a Mr Stacky. Sadie is sure living the most authentic grounded life a kid could ever dream of, so are all of you, much love from Aussie land ❤

[@bikingmomma524]

Your greenhouse is awesome. You might consider blocking growing beds so you raise them to be deeper, and contained. Then you can use straw or wood chips, etc... to make walkway paths and keep weeds out. It will help you to grow vertically and have much more produce in the amount of space you have. You need to get rid of all the grubs. They will kill everything at the root. Feed them live to the chickens. Those mice are going to eat everything in sight so you have to deal with them too. You might want to look into some of the self-watering planting containers to reduce your workload and have the opportunity to grow more in less space. Look up planting containers with Leon on KZbin. Can't wait to see what you cook with all your new veggies.

[@karenchavez9996]

You planted all cool weather crops in an unvented greenhouse I hope it works for you. Also keep the mice out they will eat all of your seedlings. I had a mouse eat an entire tray of seedlings under grow lights in one night.

[@deniporter3321]

"unvented"? Leads to mold and fungi?

[@ellamarson3882]

Wow I've been watching you for so long and I've never seen a couple work so hard in such brutal conditions at times , but at 71 you inspire and motivate me , you make my day and watching Sadie grow from conception till now has been amazing and so Beautiful, she is adorable and so clever, praying your veg grown beyond your dreams and that your bathroom is the envy of Panama..love and blessings from Ella and Ria in Sydney Australia 💙💜💜

[@bekimoore8761]

Twinkly lights for sure! The greenhouse is amazing. Kaley, I love all you do with Sadie. She is growing so fast and she is so smart. Congratulations again to Enrique and his girlfriend!

[@marilynlautner2454]

Love the green house! Are you watering a special way? Drip-line, hose, water bucket? Also do you vent the heat and moisture?

[@bohoxplorer840]

They didn’t think about this...in the last one so not in this on either. Do you see a vent or watering system anywhere? Nope

[@flynn1a]

I was wondering the same thing. I worked in greenhouses for about 3 years. They always had fans.

[@dianep3071]

Plant the seeds from your fruit you buy and grow on your yard😊

[@sandragayle4806]

you are so lucky with your growing period, I would be growing lots of acorn, butternut and other squashes, Mellon's, onions, peppers, and other favorite veggies,

[@janaengle2897]

Bobby saying "Twinkling lights are dope" was so cute! You two are adorable and so amazing with Sadie! Keep up the fun and teaching. She is having the best life! (Going way back to the video when you burned your hand... I failed to comment... Put mustard on any burns. It works miracles. 😊

[@karendavies6426]

Dónde está Sadie? Watching her grow up bi-lingual floods my brain with memories of my own three learning both here in Costa Rica. Now my nieta is learning Eng/Spanish.

[@jeannerountree952]

It's exciting to see all of you so excited about your garden greenhouse! Where are the tomatoes?

[@cheddar2848]

What a progress on that greenhouse! 👍👍Hugs & kisses to Sadie and the gang. 😍😘🤗💪

[@auntmaryspals7978]

I've learned that mixing your compost into your soil before putting it into your container is the best. When you don't mix it really well, layers form that don't allow the roots to break through. I used donkey poop. 🥰🥰

[@kerrylynnparsons7879]

TWINKLY LIGHTS IN THE GREENHOUSE--FOR SURE!!! 💡 💡 💡

[@MPine]

Your composted manure is likely mainly nitrogen which is great for leafy greens. Flowering and fruiting plants rely more on phosphorus. Just not too much. If your tomatoes, peppers ..etc. get really leafy but don’t produce fruit well, it’s that nitrogen phosphorus balance..

[@bevtrue6937]

You guys made huge progress on the green house. All planted out. I even saw some asparagus growing. Didn't see any green beans/wax beans. Don't you like 'em?

[@dianewright6863]

Kaylee, I planted my first garden this year and I have been so blessedwithwhatgod has provided for us. Praying over your garden for a bountiful harvest. Thanks so much for all of your content and allowing me to be there with you.

[@johntatum1951]

So much depends on a quickly built Green house on Lola's farm in Panama....congrats on your skills to build...thanks to Bobby for helping and to Enrique for his help....thanks to Sadie and Kaylee for helping out on the Green House....:) You do have a quickly coming bathroom complex...ready for the final on that.

[@yvettepugin4035]

I want to come and stay on your farm 🙏🙏🙏 it looks like so much fun. I have a mini homestead in the Overberg Mountains in South Africa and every milestone is cause for celebration. The ground is mostly rocky mountain but fertile (especially for the viney grass 😂 - it's a universal challenge). I have resorted to getting horses from the neighbourhood in to crop the mess it makes. High velocity winds are fortunately only experienced in Winter but we had up to 70km gusts that took down trees onto a neighbours house and took down our electricity feed that took 5 days to be repaired 😮😢. We've dug up a patch of grass covered land, laid down plastic to inhibit growth to plant a Rose and Lavendar bed (to invite the bees living in the Oak tree to pollinate the veggies going in soon). After a year there are now giant Strawberry, Gooseberry, Oranges, Lemons, Guava and Louquat fruiting. The Tomatoes grown from seed are starting to bloom and hopefully the Chilli and Green Peppers will have a good yield. Next step is a greenhouse 🎉🎉with Twinkly Lights 😂. It's an ongoing process and "failure" is just a learning curve not a setback. I love Lola's Farm and you all inspire me on my journey. Just wish I had some enthusiatic helping hands like you guys to share the successes with. Next step is canning and preserving with the yields.
