WHY Are We GROWING Food In The WINTER? Planting Indoor Potatoes & Winter Greenhouse Seed Germination

- Answering some questions about why we are growing food in the winter. We are also trying our luck again with planting indoor potatoes inside the winter greenhouse. Several of the seeds that we planted in the winter greenhouse have now germinated as well. The way we are heating the greenhouse with wood and electric heat backup seems to be working so far. This is our greenhouse in the winter.

Living independently is just plain smart ! The sharing of the processed meat is genious ! Now you just need a cattleman in the group !
Indeed!!
You guys are doing the right thing. I hate going to supermarkets, dealing with rude people/nasty staff, waiting in lines and wasting gas (and time). There are so many reasons to grow your own food.
I just love your greenhouse. We trade off alot of our stuff here. Great way to come together as a community. That fish.... I'm jealous.
Barter is absolutely our favourite method of trade. The product value is far more appreciated! That fish was pretty tasty 😋
Like your channel :)
I live in Calgary, Alberta. I bought a home 5 years ago. A complete renovation. We built a tiny greenhouse with the old windows and wood. We even had a usable screen door. We took a PVC pipe and cut it in half to install a rain barrel inside. This year we are going solar. Thank you for your videos.
Awesome! Have you seen our solar setup in the greenhouse video?
@@Wilderstead yup! I made a visit to Canadian Tire yesterday and got a few of the missing items. I will let you know how it works for me. Right now all my plants seedling have popped so they will be moving into their new home once finished.
Great!
Having had a small holding for 5 years, raising chickens, both meat and egg layers, pig for meat, geese and turkeys and a huge vegetable plot. Everything and I mean everything just tasted so much better.
Awesome job Dave! I don't see the dwarf goats as dual purpose though...
You're doing great.
Can you mail me some Bacon!! Looks mighty tasty!!
Hahahaha! 🥓 😋
I liked that background music.
Great video Dave. Enjoyed your talking about why you grow your own food.
Thanks Jay. People think we are crazy. And we think other people are crazy 😜
Poison them little B******** mice, sticky traps! Sunlight, here in Eastern Washington we haven't seen the sun in many days....Can you start a pit greenhouse? I love your vids! Keep it up, you're doing a great job!
I wish we could start a pit greenhouse/walapini! We are sitting on bedrock though, so it’s next to impossible. Got a mouse in the trap this morning. Not sure if it’s the only one, but it’s a start!
I LOVE your videos
My mom told me that tomatoes and potatoes are so close that you can graft a tomato plant on a potato plant and they will grow together. It would be so interesting to grow tomatoes all summer and when it comes time to pull the plant there are potatoes underneath. Wouldn't that be funny on CZcams?
Would be a fun experiment for sure!
Great video content!
Everyone should be growing their food. It would solve a lot of problems!
hi just found this vid, really like your outlook and vision on this topic, i moved back to nb a year ago this month and have been living with my brother, he loves this stuff as well. we put in a garden this year, it was very rushed and only string beans grew , but it will be better next year! i have found a few youtube vids on others who are growing in the winter, i have to find them but there are some great ,cheap ideas you can incorporate that should help you, i will post them in a bit, keep the vids coming they are very inspiring, thanks for that,

Hi Dave, iam in Alberta and started a 8x12 greenhouse last winter in February. With only a small electric heater, it worked great! I found my electric bill was about $100 higher then pervious years, but I didn't have a wood stove like you have. Best $100 I ever spent😃
Absolutely!! Man - there is nothing better than being able to produce your own food. Cheers and keep rockin it!! 😊
the smell of the smoking meat must be wonderful! I have yet to get lavender to sprout for me. what you are doing sure looks good. Growing like your life depends on it!
Look into the Munstead variety of lavender. Very easy to grow from seed!
Ambitious project. Great to see you learning and succeeding.
Thanks Jim!
Thats an awesome germination rate for the lavender!!! Woohoo
If you are Lookin to grow some, look for the Munstead variety. They germinate and grow so easily!
Hey from Australia. We have 3 raised beds and a greenhouse in our suburban backyard. And you. Can't beat fresh from the kitchen garden. It last longer and tastes better. Hardly ever go to the vegie shop only 300m up the road if you buy from them it's either use straight away or put it on the compost.
You know it, Darren!
Great Update Video. We are planning & setting up our own Homestead on 10 acres on the Bruce Peninsula, and it's great you are sharing you successes and opportunities!!
Thanks, Bruce!! Dave actually grew up in the Grey/Bruce area. Fond memories! We used to have a trailer in the Lions Head/Pike Bay area. Cheers!
We live off grid in Wilder Tennessee
Well that’s pretty cool!! Welcome to our Wilderstead!
Do you folks pronounce it Wilder or Wilder? 😝
I love you Daveeeeeeee!!! Tom Z!!!!!!
Dude!!! If this is the Tom Z I’m think of - great to hear from ya buddy! Been a looong time!
F yesss!
@@lithium3332 Come up and chase some rainbows with me dude. I am surrounded by some pretty amazing rivers that make the Geen and the Bighead look like childsplay!
@@Wilderstead I may have to ask the two little boys for permission hehee. Good Job on the vids. I'm always watching
Awesome buddy. Stay in touch!
The monologue is a nice romantic approach to life. But do not forget that there is a reason why all countries have a well-guarded seed bank to our aid, in case of a sudden a vegetation crisis should wipe out the seeds in nature. In other words, all of us are dependent on the large community taking active responsibility.
And all of us are going to be at the back of the line if such a catastrophe, or any catastrophe for that matter, were to occur - which is exactly why we continually add our own seed to our own seed bank. No chance we are going to rely on the powers that be to keep us fed.
I dont eat pork, but that looked delicious!!!
Quite tasty!!!
I canned for the first time last year!! This year I will be doing way more 🙂 the canned zucchini bread was sooo good! I hear ya on the town trip, it's a day long thing so I avoid it at all costs 🤣 That bacon and those hams 😋 I am hoping in 2 more years to have goats and raise 2 pigs a year, one for us and one to trade with 😁 until then I will continue to take notes! 😊
Those are some great plans!
Why not we are what we can do
Exactly!
The folks that usually ask that question are the ones that have the luxury of popping over to the grocery store for lettuce. Who wants to drive 60+ miles for a head of lettuce for Taco Tuesday? Just sayin'. I don't want to stand in lines for food if I can grow it. New to the gardening game and trying to figure it out and would much rather have my own food on hand and know how it is grown.
Totally agree! And with any luck, some of our trials, successes and failures will help you out with producing your own tasty home grown bounty. Cheers!
Ever considered an automated pellet stove? Or some other automated means to keep your greenhouse warm throughout the night?
Heaters on powerbars is not a good idea :)
Considered the pellet stove idea. Too many moving parts, and relying on outside product to run though. The electric heat is a temporary fail safe. Infloor heat coming summer 2021! Big ole pile of poop to generate the heat.
@@Wilderstead beautiful! Look forward to it!
People have really asked that?!? I wish I could but my HOA is very strict. Trying to move but the world had other plans...
People really do ask that. They also ask why we don’t live in the city where life is easier...LOL! Hopefully you get to move forward with things in the future bud!
@@Wilderstead wow. Do they not realize what channel they are watching? Lol.
Here's hoping
Ever see any deer 🦌
Not many deer. Plenty of moose though.
I would not even bother answering the question from the beginning of the video, unless these are your immediate friends and family. people who ask questions like this are deeply lost in life and nothing can help them to move out from their matrix, neither blue or red pill will work and of course your explanation will just make them angry and more confused. so leave them alone to be slaves. God bless you your farm and family!
Usually I wouldn't bother answering. BUT - so many folks bring everything down to monetary reasoning these days. Cheers Andrei, I completely agree with you here.
Some people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
Anyone who would rather rely on the grocery store needs to give their head a shake 🤣
Also, we have cows. If you ever feel like making the drive 🙂
Totally agree!!! And we head over you way at least once every June....so this may become a thing!!
@@Wilderstead awesome 😊
Are you interested in aquaponics ?
It's something we've thought about. I might start running a large aquarium or tank in there to hold minnows that we use for ice fishing bait, and use the water for the plants.
@@Wilderstead thats cool !
