Those babies are looking beautiful Roxanna 🌸💕🌸
Thank you!
This is by far the best hope house diy that I have seen! You are a genius 👏 🙌 ✨️ Not only simple but looks good too! Thank you!
Thank you! 😊
Nice job! I got frustrated with the in and out too. I left my trays in my high tunnel. I lost two trays of flowers to heat during the day. I should’ve taken them out of the tunnel and put them in the shade I guess. Even though the tunnel was fully open we had a couple days close to 90. Oh, well, live and learn. And when I first started gardening I built a square structure with pvc pipes to protect my brassicas from cabbage moths. It was so big and I had to lift the whole thing off and on.🤪 I don’t know why I didn’t think of doing it like you did!🤣
There is always next year!
Ahhh que bonito mirarte trabajar mientras esta lloviendo y yo estoy desayunando en mi camita.😊😊😊
All of your plants are just beautiful! You always come up with unique ideas in how to simply garden with what you got! Love It!
Thank you!
What an excellent idea!!! I don't have pvc, but will do this with bamboo stakes and irrigating tubing that I already have here, and clamp the mesh to keep it in place. Thank you so much!!
Yup, just make sure your "corners" don't rip the plastic.
All your seedlings look great. This is a fantastic idea. It's still cold here.
It looks like we are almost out of it.
I got tired of the hardening process. As well. 😄
I basically do the same. I take them out once, and leave them outside until the weather is right to plant. but switch from the plastic to a shade cloth when necessary.
For this I make sure the temperature outside is mostly in the late 40s at night. And cover them with blankets and the plastic if the temperature drops lower than that.
Thanks for sharing!
You have a wonderful evening!
Great tips!
This is such a great idea but first I need a raised bed. I will need something like this to keep the squirrels away from my strawberries 🍓, which are planted in the ground, I would use mesh or tulle for the strawberries and plastic for early spring sowing , thank you 🙏 so much for this video
That's the best and easiest idea for hardening off plants I've seen. Thanks for sharing it.
Glad it was helpful!
It’s my first year hardening off and I’ve done the 3 days outside all day on very cloudy days and it’s worked! Migardener suggested it and so far it works great!
I saw that! Awesome! Yesterday was super sunny for me so I couldn’t just let them out that way but I did the 2 days before!
Excellent job Roxanna. I enjoyed watching and learning a few tips and tricks at hardening off my seedlings. Enjoy your week!!
Thank you AJ! How are you doing with all your plants?
@@SoilandMargaritas so far no major casualties. Just maintaining as we go!
Excellent video! Thank you for explaining everything so clearly ❤ you have great teaching talent.
Enjoyed the details given for the hoop house.
Glad you liked it
This is such a great idea! I always take my hoops down after winter, but this is a great use for them! I might put mine back up to harden off seedlings too
Go for it!
Great idea! I’ve been hardening off numerous trays the traditional way and it is exhausting. Another year I will definitely give this a try.
I think it is worth a try! Mine are completely hardened off but tonight we have a low of 48 so I will put the plastic back on and it is planting day tomorrow.
Always enjoy your videos!
Thank you!
Thank you! I'm tired of moving my trays in and out of the garage and will try this now.
Remember to still give them a couple of days of in and out before moving them under a cover of any kind and good luck!
Thanks you Chica, I’m just starting in gardening and you’ve been encouraging me through this process. Vamos a ver. Gracias.
Si se puede! You got this!
THIS IS WONDERFUL, YES 👍 I ENJOYED IT AND I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH 😊 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!
Sooo much easier than in and out, tray after tray. Been there- done that! And you have a plan for overnight. I love it! Great video!
Thank you! Yes, so much easier!!
This is my plan next week for my seedlings, except they are going in my unheated greenhouse. I'm in Chicago and the weather is just too funky this week, plus I will be gone this weekend. I'm so looking forward to getting all of those plants out of my house!
I bet! The weather is crazy lately!
Roxana, this is an ingenious idea, I definitely am going to copy this, just need the pipes😉💚.
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I did the same thing and it is working out great! We also have deer so I use a mesh netting to protect my plants.
That's a great idea!
Just found your channel. This is exactly what I need to do. I'm in Zone 5b and a newbie gardener. I look forward to watching your other videos. Thx!
Welcome Connie!
Nice job!
Thank you!
Living alone and working all day, I had do something similar to harden off all my trays. I just do not have a whole week at home to start hardening off plants.
When I got home on a Friday afternoon I pulled the plants out to get the late afternoon sun and then did the normal Saturday & Sunday hardening off. But Monday I left them out overnight (my house was almost as cold as outside LOL) but covered them with a frost cover to diffuse light and a 50-60% shadecloth "elegantly" draped from a table to the ground to cover them (like an awning for them). After a couple of days I removed the frost cover. Then eventually the shade cloth. Only a couple of leaves closest to the cloth got burned and the plants bounced back quickly. I love starting seeds indoors, but hardening off is for the birds!
You do what you have to do! Only another gardener would completely understand using whatever you have to give your babies some shade 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Hardening off plants is my least favorite aspect of gardening. I'm constantly shuffling trays so I don't accidentally kill any of my plants, I would love a green house in the future. Your plants look fantastic!
Thank you!
Great idea I love it!
Thank you!
Wow! You are amazing
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Excellent solution to hardening off your plants!
Great Idea !!! Thank You !!!
I love this diy! OneLove ❣
❤️❤️❤️
All I do is leave them outside in a part sun area on a few cloudy days, then leave them outside moving forward works every time and I live in hot, humid Georgia.
Awesome! Cloudy days are the best for doing that!
Love your videos, great idea!!
Thank you!
I'm doing the same thing, got a lot of my plants in my hoop house that looks exactly the same size as yours and all I have to do is raise the plastic during the day and when it's too cold like tonight it's going to get down to 32 degrees I lower it. They can take the full sun just not the freezing temps that we are still getting. Nice job, your plants look great! I just planted my Nasturtiums they aren't even up yet, I kind of got behind!
That is great to hear! This is way easier!
Great job! 💚
Thank you!
Good looking hat and you look really nice in it! Can you remember where you purchased it? It's been a cool and rainy April in Arkansas so I've had to cover my plants (put out maybe a little early) with plastic cloche covers several nights. Unfortunately there is no room for a hoop system because the other side is against a fence. Please hurry Spring!
I think I got it from TJ Maxx, I love that place! Very wet Spring here as well, but we get a break this week and we go straight to the 80s :)
Hey Roxana, wow your seedlings gave done so well ❤ I have been following your daily gardening off process - I screenshotted your IG plan and it’s gone well so far. I’m leaving them outside on their own today as I have to go to work 🤞 but it’s supposed to be cloudy all day so they should be fine. I love your hoop house idea.
Awesome! I have done that plan for the last 2 years, however this year I have quite a few more trays.... it takes A WHILE to get them moved from one place to another just by myself (That's where you volunteer Richard to help lol)
@@SoilandMargaritas he has been known to turn my growlights on and off for me, but that’s about as far as it goes 🤣
This is genius!!!
Love this! ❤
Absolutely love this idea!
You’re truly an inspiration 💜💜
❤️❤️❤️
Great idea, and cute hat! I have a head that never seems to fit hats in the store. Where did you find this one?
I got this one at TJ Maxx, I’m the same way… I feel like my head is too big.
I'm in the same boat. I have 3x more seedlings this year than the previous years. This is a great idea! I wonder if a garden fabric will work since I don't have the plastic at hand.
Probably, but I would not trust them in full sun with just the fabric like that.
Wonderful! When will you plant your tomatoes?
Possibly next week! The 10 day forecast is looking really good!
What will you do if the temps drop into the 40’s. Our nights are pretty cool but the days are fine.
So the forecast looks good, there is one night lows of 47, I am honestly not worry about those lows but if I was I will add my frost fabric on top of all of the seedlings just for extra protection and I will still leave them outside under the hoop house. Worst case scenario I can just bring everything back for one night and it will not be as bad as doing it daily.
Do you ever deal with indoor bugs on your growing plants? If so, how do you get rid of the pest?
I just moved everything out of the greenhouse since we have overcast for 3 days, but was looking for something to protect them from the night stalkers; bunnies 😂
😩😩😩🙈
Can I ask what are your red shoes...are they comfy? Do you have yellow joules wellibobs too, are they comfy 😊😊
Cherry color shoes were an Aldi find a while back, they are a bit big on me… the yellow boots are really comfy for me.
@@SoilandMargaritas thank you 😊😊
How long are the pvc pipes? 6'?
I talked about this in the video. They are 10’ long but cut about 1’ so they are about 9’
