Why This Is Better Than A Greenhouse

Even though spring is in the air we are still not in our growing season. Freezing nights and stormy days are a hostile environment for our little tender plants. While nature is still waiting to bless us with its green colors and flowers we want to give our garden plants a head start by putting them into our cold frame.

Your little helper brought a big smile to my face and I felt a big surge of happiness in my chest. I have three daughters and they have all grown up (22, 32 and 42) and now have their own families with 2 grandchildren, and I miss them. Cherish every moment you have when they are young! I'm sure you do. And the idea of heat from the house and the double layer of plastic works? That's awesome. A great idea. Thanks for sharing.

The main thing tempering the climate is the Gulf stream. I'm just 25km inland of Gothenburg, while Simeon is a bit further north and about in the middle of Sweden, east/west direction), we're narrow enough to not get any real inland climate. The two big lakes (Vänern and Vättern) that he's between the northern parts of are likely to temper the swings too, probably more than his local lake.

Thank you Swedish Homestead for an awesome video and letting the viewers watch you and your esteemed helper start the foundations for the seedlings. Usually, even though some really excellent videos can be found on youtube regarding many different issues with growing, sometimes the very first part of the plant's life gets skipped over and it kinda leaves us noobs wondering how it all started. Like starting a book on the 2nd chapter : ) So many thanks.
@harrymills2770
@harrymills2770 2 года назад
I love the gadgets, although the gadget for the soil blocks seems kind of unnecessary for the scale of his little enterprise. Still, he's maximizing his available space with this system, I think, and getting uniformity of conditions for all the plants, which is good. When you just do it all by hand, some are planted deeper, some have thicker soil, some have harder-packed soil, etc.

Wonderful video. My Dad and Pawpa always said to deep plant the tomatoes by taking the leaves off for about five inches. This way the root system grows stronger and the plants produce stronger stems to hold the fruits. So many people wonder why heavy winds can topple the roots out of the ground where I live in Arkansas USA. We had sixty mph winds and storms all night. I took the dog out to find neighbor's new plantings my back yard.

JAllanC12 , My parents were born in 1921. Dad taught my two brothers, and I followed along. There are so many small things he taught me that have still helped me in these ' modern' times! So very glad your tomatoes are flourishing for you!
@virginiareid5336
@virginiareid5336 6 лет назад
JAllanC12 , by the way...depending on the variety of tomatoes you planted, even with the stronger plants..I still advise to cage or stake. Since you said your's took off, it is most possible the fruits will be much heavier than you are accustomed to.
@meekookeem5944
@meekookeem5944 6 лет назад
Virginia Reid and everyone. We plant our tomatoes by stripping off all but the top 6" of growth and bury them horizontally not vertically like most do. It roots exceptionally because of being closer to the surface and widens the root base for stability. The top will grow normal and strong. We still cage and have had 20' tomatoe plants that grew 7' tall, grew back to the ground 7' and back up another 7'. It became a jungle of food that never ended. Tips and tricks to all !!!
