I am older than you and have a bigger farm operation, but you make me Laugh at myself. My green house is about 24 x 50 and the vegetable garden is nearly an acre. We all so have cattle and chickens. All that said I have 4 mennonite families here helping me. We also grow several small fields of grain. 3 acres of winter red wheat. 5 acres of oats. 2 acres of field corn. We also put up about 1000 6 foot bales of grass hay. Mostly to sell. We buy rice and dried beans in bulk. We have 6 bee Hives so far. I am in Northern Arkansas just below Branson Missouri. I do not have a KZread channel so in the evenings I watch people like you? 👍🤗

Most people talk about how the snowy winter makes them depressed and here I am wishing we got more snow, nothing beats sitting next to a fire in the cabin with a winter wonderland out the window. The beauty far outweighs the trouble it brings. Have a nice weekend boss and boss lady!

I was guilty of complaining about the winters so we moved to NC for 14 year's as soon as the kids were grown and gone we headed back to the PA mountains on land we kept and built a new 1000 square foot house/cabin to retire. Nothing like having zero neighbors and traffic and feeling the warmth of the wood stove in the winter and the mountain breezes in the summer, no more A/C for me.

My greenhouse was built with "just" enough room for a small table and a couple of chairs, I find the area totally enchanted, you enter from the cold wet freezing mess, to a tropical wonderland, it still amazing after many years. I listen to books on tape while gardening or writing. You got to expand just enough for this pleasure. I didnt build it with this in mind, but after seeing how great it would be, I somehow wedged it all together. I can kinda tell in your voice, you also see the advantage. Cant be to hard its wood !!! Stay Safe...and Warm you 2.

In Newfoundland, people used to use root cellars built into a side of a hill, it kept their garden veggies and Potatoes fresh all year long. Cool temps maintained all year long. Boss you might have seen some while you were in Labrador! The outport fisherman used fish and seaweed (Kelp) as natural fertilizer.

it all depends where you live! Out in the country, far away from traffic snow is BEAUTIFUL, even the shoveling of it! In the city with the plows and salt it gets ugly fast! I live inbetween : front road side, back white wonderland, life is good! though I am not going to cry if we get no more snow this winter, we had over a foot all at once, just the way I like it.

Ahhh... a respite from all the insanity here! 🌻💯👍

I get a lot of shit about where my solar is. When I was look it's where i get the most sun. I still get told on my videos I am nuts. Can't win lol. What works for me. May or may not work for them. Thanks for sharing brother. Love y'all. God Bless..

Okay Boss, I am ready for the video on perspectives. I am sure it is going to be great. I really enjoy your point of view. Thanks to you and Lori for sharing your lives with us. Enjoy the beautiful snow.

Hope the green Jeep has a simple fix! Same thing happened to us going up the mountain in Vt. Turns out there's a 2nd fuel filter between the gas tank and engine fuel filter. Rust had dropped into the tank, into the line and was choking the engine. Took forever to find the problem. By the way, I'm very thankful Lori doesn't run around in a bikini. Once I see that I refuse to watch the channel. I would hate to miss yours! Lol

I came here to see The Boss in a Mankini splitting firewood for his off grid Yurt... and all I got were greenhouse tips.

I have to say up here in MN in the cold and short days I for one totally understand the enjoyment you get out of that greenhouse! We are going to be building a small one onto our old wellhouse and I am looking forward to it for next winter! When its -30 Ill be spending some time out there by my little woodstove too !
