An update on our bubble-wrapped greenhouse 

Awwwwww ya big sook

Glad you found it useful.

Absolutely..... it's never the shortbread tin picture, is it?

Glad you enjoyed it! I promise, lots more stats to come and yes.... I was getting really annoyed with the lack of info, it’s the same with stuff about unheated greenhouses, like folk can’t imaging growing without heating and heated propagates or mats and lights. :)

You've made me feel better Gordin. I opened up yesterday and worried if I should have. Glad to know it's a good idea. Have opened up again today :)

Hey Caroline Wright I'm glad you're enjoying the videos 🙂 If you want a place to start with the videos.. it might be worth grabbing a cuppa and sitting with these two greenhouse specific playlists. That way you get to go through the journey with me when I got my greenhouse and see all the brilliant stuff to come and all the things to thinking about :) Setting up your new greenhouse: ru-vid.com/group/PLjhUBZdMh-4kYC4OV1J6vChfrGXnhKr5X Greenhouse gardening: ru-vid.com/group/PLjhUBZdMh-4mxGbs3hx2622MdqAVRPn0B

Glad you enjoyed:)

The personal thing has really struck a chord with people. I really thought you would all think I was just being silly!!!

Alas.... no power in the greenhouse so no heating for me. But to be honest I've never had heating so I dont miss it. :)

Hey Gia, us stats monkeys need to stick together :D Glad you can get the seed trays now, didn't realise Huw was selling them. Hope they aren't too expensive. I'm still not sure if I'm a fan of them or not, another season should help me decide. There are going to be some more stats fun type videos coming up, so keep an eye out... I've got myself a new weather centre for the garden :D

I thought we were going to get ours last night but it warmed up :) weather is super unpredictable this year.

I haven't either thankfully. This was the first issue I'd had and it turned out just to be sooty mold 😀

:) It's nothing fancy..... I'll show you guys but basically its mostly just a way for me to keep a record so I can explain anything unusual etc. www.eliapplebydonald.co.uk/blog/a-gardening-journal-the-most-essential-piece-of-gardening-kit-for-newbies/

@@eliandkate Thank you! I will have a read! :D

It's just the globe filters. I have standard filters for photography, for horizons etc but the variable ones are just much easier for filming.

Welcome aboard Paul. Glad to have you with us.

Hey Nicola, Glad to have you join us andni totally know what you mean about the lack of acknowledgement of gardening needs for different areas. The lights are just cheap pull lights, there's an amazing link in the video description :)

Ah ha..... maybe the broken pains have something to do with that?

Hey michael, oh exciting with the seedlings... keeping my fingers crossed for you. My floor is just standard concrete paving slabs.

Afraid not. My hotbin is insulated so doesn't give off any heat. I have heard of people having standard compost po ikes in their greenhouse for heat though

All part of the fun of experimenting in the garden.

True lol

Yeah it seems to have been properly cold everywhere but here. I can only think it's on it's way.

And I love your videos. Just getting through them this last week ☺

ha haha I must confess, I absolutely don't see the Jodie Foster thing LOL But I'll take it as a compliment. You absolutely don't need heating or watering systems or anything like that for the greenhouse. Those are all extra things you can have if you want to. I had my polycarbonate for 6 years with no heating and had no watering system for the first couple. I've only just added heating to my greenhouse this year. I still got a fantastic haul of tomatoes and peppers etc, it just meant that I had to pay attention to the weather and temperature :D I'd say hold off on spending pennies until you've got a season or two under your belt with this greenhouse, so you really get to know it ( and fall in love with it). Then you can decide if you want to go all fancy shmansy :D Heating wise - I don't think there is a cheap option - hence bubble wrap etc to try to minimise heat loss, but the whole self-watering thing, you can make your own :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3yfoZH0yyq4.html

make sure you remember that life happens away form the computer screen too :D

@@eliandkate a young Jodie foster. And yeah was meant as a compliment. Had I thought she was ugly I wouldn have said anything 🤣🤣🤣😉 Thanks ver much for link. I was so worried y'day, but your advice & link has calmed my nerves 😜😂 x

How mad is the difference in weather for us when we're only a few miles apart?

@@eliandkate I know, it's not even like you're west coast and I'm east as we're both east coast :/
