| 0:00.0 | If you've ever thought about getting a greenhouse I know it's probably every gardener's fantasy |
| 0:18.0 | certainly is mine and let me just say this right now guys I may or may not be queued up to get a |
| 0:24.3 | pretty happy one in 2023 it might cost a little bit but we do it for the homestead so more to come |
| 0:31.2 | on that but Chris who is our guest today and also an epic gardening team member up in Vancouver |
| 0:36.3 | British Columbia I saw your greenhouse Chris it's fantastic and for those who haven't seen it |
| 0:42.4 | do you mind just kind of giving an overview I know there's a lot of different types of greenhouses |
| 0:46.2 | out there yeah so for mine it's a polycarbonate greenhouse so it's not glass a lot of the times when |
