I Wasn’t Expecting THIS in My Greenhouse!
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Homegrown Passion”.
I thought I was simply wrapping up my final greenhouse harvest of 2026… but I wasn't expecting quite so many surprises! 🍅🌶️
My tomato plants are still producing beautiful fruit, the peppers and jalapeños are looking wonderful, and we're getting ready to put the greenhouse to bed for winter. But I've also discovered some unwelcome visitors! Whiteflies have taken over parts of my tomato plants, aphids have moved into the peppers, and I think I've discovered one of the ways these little troublemakers have been getting inside!
Come along with me at Bradwood Farm as we pick the last big harvest, investigate our greenhouse pest problems, and talk about what I've learned from another growing season.
And there's one more thing I've been saving for last… my hydroponically grown GINGER! 🌱 I've been growing it in a big barrel for months, and we're finally going to find out what's hiding beneath those leaves. I can't wait to show you what we discovered!
In today's farm adventure, we're talking about harvesting greenhouse tomatoes, peppers and jalapeños, identifying whiteflies and aphids, protecting plants with insect screening, and growing and harvesting fresh ginger in a greenhouse.

Well, my greenhouse certainly kept me on my toes this year! 😂🍅 Between the whiteflies, those pesky aphids, and a few surprises hiding beneath the leaves, there was never a dull moment!
Now I have a question for all of you…
**If you could grow only ONE thing in your garden next year, what would it be?** 🍅🌶🌱
And be honest… did you expect that ginger harvest? 😉❤
Tell me where you’re watching from, too! I love seeing how far our little farm family reaches.
I’ll be popping into the comments to chat with you!
Love,
Katy ❤
beautiful!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words.
Love it
Thanks so much! Your positive feedback really makes all the greenhouse adventures worthwhile.
Seeing the red tomato literally made my mouth water. i wish I could taste it. I’m sure it’s very tasty.
Haha, I totally get it! That tomato was seriously good. Hope you get your hands on some equally tasty ones soon if not come and get some of mine. With the market over I have no idea what to do with 400+ pounds of tomatoes.
Beautiful garden, beautiful gardener❤
Thank you so much, you are so kind! ❤️😊
love Ginger! Never knew it could be grown in a barrel like that! Looks so easy to harvest the way you do it! Never expected that it opened up as easily as that. I know I would have a hard time with it. Would love to try it myself!
Who knew a barrel could be Ginger’s five-star resort? And yes, “easy to harvest” is a relative term, but I’m glad I made it look convincing! You should definitely give it a go!
I will never look at ginger the same way again 🥰
I know exactly what you mean, it was such a fun surprise to harvest! 🥰
❤❤ love it !
Thank you so much for the love! 🥰
KATY I’ll be watching this video on my big screen tv. 😉 your videos here and on patreon have been very informative and a joy to watch this year.
That sounds like a wonderful way to watch, thank you so much for being part of our community! 😊
Yes ur Tomatoes are ready for picking ❤
They sure are, I couldn’t resist grabbing those last beautiful ones for the season! 🍅😊
Beautiful Harvest
Thanks! It was definitely a pleasant surprise to see such a beautiful harvest this season.
Awesome video Katy!!!!
Glad you liked it!! ❤
Katy, I never expected that a greenhouse could be the workspace of such a beautiful, amazing, incredibly appealing lady . . . but here you are! Your dress enhances your video beyond my imagination.
Thanks for the lovely compliment, I’m just happy to share my greenhouse adventures with you! 😊
Delicious ❤
The vegetables look good too 😊
Haha, thanks so much! They were definitely a tasty final harvest this year. 🍅😊
Didnt realize ginger and I are similar both like warmth
Haha, I love that—we definitely have that in common too! ☀️😊
Beautiful teacher, thank you for the shared knowledge and joyful delivery.
Your welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you taking the time to leave such a nich comment. ❤
The Cowboys and Packers are playing right now and I came back to check out Katy againnnn. She’s probably 15-20 years older than me and got me hooked. Laughing at myself. After watching his team tonight, Jerry Jones might prefer to watch HomeGrown Passion and Katy, too. 🤣
LOL, that’s hilarious! Glad I’m keeping you entertained, even if it means missing some football. 😉
The big hydroponic glasshouses up the road change their tomatoes each year in March. I think they have 28 hectares under glass. Great video and camera work as usual.
Whoa, 28 hectares of tomatoes is wild! Sounds like they’re really serious about their March harvest. Glad you liked the video and the shots, thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge of growing plants. And that is a gorgeous dress. You look stunning!
That is so sweet of you to say, thank you for being part of our gardening community! 🌿✨
Everything in the greenhouse garden looks absolutely luscious, oh so ripe and ready to be enjoyed!
