I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

I love the sound of rain..
Al you said it was a learning experience and you didn’t know when to plant as our friend Justin Rhodes says just plant. I love you guys Channel and I’m excited to find out what the next big adventure is for you guys.
“our friend Justin Rhodes says just plant,” but Justin Rhodes has no control over the temperatures in New England and, more importantly, over the length of the days. As the day length there will very soon reach the 10 hour/day point, plant growth will slow to a near halt. I would not expect anything that might sprout at this ;late date to produce anything edible until the day length starts to increase in the spring, if it can survive that long. When I lived just a short hop from there in Maine, my goal was to have everything in the hoop house that I wanted to harvest in late Fall and Winter to be mature by the first week in November. Then it’s a matter of keeping them alive when outdoor temps hit well below 0° through the use of layers of Agribon that were removed if the inside air warmed above fteezing and replaced before it dropped.
There’s a market gardener in the UK who has a compost heap inside his small greenhouse and he grows seeds in trays on it.
I guess it would help boost the warmth as well.
That’s a great idea, but didn’t Als compost freeze solid last winter? It would be another fantastic experiment for them tho, see if it stays warmer and more active inside plus see what the difference is with the ground underneath
With all the fallen leaves, would make a very good warm compost, I think. Living in a overseas subtropical state, this is but a thought.
wow, what a great idea! Heat and compost nearby. Have to water it though.
You need a work bench inside the green house.
Yup. And put 4 wheelbarrow wheels on it so it’s all terrain…. or maybe a sled base like everything else…. Al does love to drag things around 😂
A small folding table as well…
@bigdaddy741098 …with a slide, into the pool 🙂
I don’t mind the rain sound, but you music choice was cool, too.
I agree… something about the sound of rain ✌❤
Love the sound of rain, very relaxing.
I love the music
Sorry Al. I’ve never ran into a Kale that I thought was edible. But one brassica that I like in the winter garden is kohlrabi.
I know the feeling. I have to pick out the kale in the salads we get from Panera
I agree its just too bitter and kind of a cardboard texture to me.
M T we love kohlrabi! I pickled some this year and it was quite good! Really crunchy and flavorful. Being it was a trial I only made 6 jars so….. next year I’ll add more 👍🏻. Nothing better than delicious kohlrabi!
Do you eat the leaves or just the bulb? Janice
Sandra Westley, try stripping the kale off the stems, chop, toss well in oil and bake in the oven for 10 mins plus keep watching it, because it cooks very quick this way, I just love it, in fact I do a tray of it in one go and could eat the lot, it’s lovely & crispy.
Don’t leave your garden tools on the floor, you will either step on them and spike your foot or it will flip up and smack your face. Build a rack by the main door so you can store and easily retrieve when required.
@LLjean 2857 a table would be great —- even a couple of old chairs so you can sit, work on seedlings. Enjoy 😊 a coffee in the shelter. For yourselves. I really like the boiler idea. Maybe you could divert the smoke/steam through your water pipes. Sounds cheeky I know. Sorry.
@marie lynne The pigmobile and New Yolk City already have water catchment systems.
@Magda Rantanplan Do you really think he has the extra time to read every single one of almost 900 comments?
@Tim Brown oh. I saw him filling the pig mobile system not long ago with water. Thought he didnt have one. Never mind.
@LLjean 2857 I was just thinking the same thing!
My dad has a fire stove in his green house and loves it he plants al year long
I love the rain sound……I live where it never rains. More rain sounds please !
Al.,,, you are correct
It’s the soil temp more than the air temp that keeps greenhouses flourishing all year round. At this point I would hook up some heat lamps about 12. Inches above the seed bed. Once the seeds are sprouted and about 2 inches high start raising the heat lamps and at 24 inches above the plants wean them. I have, in zone 5, raised green peas, sugar peas, cabbages, turnips, kale, broccoli and spinach. It was a treat having a serving of fresh veggies for February thru April. GRANTED the crops were not as prolific as summer will see them. When you finally get snow keep the top of the structure free of snow and allow it to build up as.walls. about 4 feet high for insulation.
You have the best carrots I have seen come out of the ground…
There is no better sound then the natural falling rain , It’s Beautiful .
I’d much rather hear the rain.
Your greenhouse is producing such gorgeous veg! You’re doing a great job with it 👍 i’d love to see you put all those greens to good use. Carrot tops and beat leaves and spinach and all of that does great in the dehydrator and powdered as super greens! They will go great in smoothies and soups
Don’t apologize for the sound of the rain. I live in AZ. The rain on the greenhouse is music to my ears.
Right there with you Larry#! Nonsoon 2020.
From a very dry 4 year long drought in Queensland Australia the sound of falling rain is absolute music to one’s ears. Ditch the music Al…
I’d rather listen to the rain.
Howdy y’all, I would of rather listen to the rain instead of the music. I just usually mute the music out🙉🙉🙉🌧🌧🌧
Being here in smokey dry California, I’d rather hear the rain.
The sounds of the rain is lovely, I prefer it. When will you be harvesting the honey? Would love to see the full process.
Note to Al at his homestead call your rooster “Midnight” he is so dark.
