This lady is a gem but sadly she passed away in 2013. Her grandson has been maintaining the channel and adding some new content here and there but she left a wonderful legacy on how to cook good meals on the cheap.

My wife and I have been learning how to grow and recently got the greenhouse into a useable condition.
It's only 8x12 but there is just the two of us now so that, and the grow lights in the house should be able to efficiently have a decent bunch of plants ready when we finally can plant outside in mid-May.

On the new building we are going to install solar panels and batteries so we don't have to rely on the grid. We are also going to have a backup woodstove, in case it is needed. We live in a farming area so we have access to reasonably priced meat and if necessary, I can start hunting again. We also have a lot of great fishing within a 5 minute walk.

Luckily we have around 5 years left before we are completely debt-free but we could easily survive on $1500/month which wouldn't be hard to manage at all.

I watched some of those videos.

I was actually very pleased to see the dandelion one, because people always talk about picking them and eating them, but to me they don't really look like edible plants.

She showed us how she picked them AND how she cleaned them. It is a very time consuming practice which is why people probably stopped eating them when they didn't have to anymore.

This is my first year that I might get fruits from a garden. I grew tomatoes in a container once or twice before but since moving back to San Diego I have not had a succesful harvest.

This year we already ate mandarins and apples from trees, rainbow chard, bits of arugula and collard greens, a giant onion, a chili, and the tomatoes look like there will be hundreds.

Let's hope. I'm following, looking forward to seeing more about your green house and plants.
