MIgardener | Simple Organic Gardening & Sustainable Living You don't do so bad yourself, MIgardener! You all have inspired me to grow my own food! It's now a passion! I wish more people would RU-vid gardening tips in south Texas!
I love your cat! Your videos are the best! I learned more from one of your videos this morning than I have from 10 videos from another gardener. Thank you.
I loved seeing all the process from seed to planting in the raised outdoor garden. It helps me get rid of the jitters of doing it for the first time. Thank you so much. Great work!!!!
BRILLIANT seed starting method, especially to see which older seeds will germinate and save space using one heat mat!!! To keep my seeds at an even temp, I've used two 12x12 tiles on top of the mat to avoid hot spots; I don't have one with a temp control either. I only have one mat, so your way saves so much money and electricity, that will save more for the grow lights. I love your black cat too, so agile. Thank you for the well done and informative video!
A+++++++++++, EXCELLENT video ! Thanks for showing us the process beginning to end. Much Appreciated!!! I just started 3 container tomato plants using ready to plant seedlings. Saved your video in my playlist to revisit. I have learned so much from this video. I appreciate the time and effort to do this video! Thanks again.
drool worthy indeed!. Hello MI gardener!. Your channel is awesome too. I can't wait to purchase seeds from your seed store one of these days. :-) Bubblebeet channel is so enjoyable to watch!
Thank you Sir for this easy to follow , step by step guid ! I will follow your video and star my first garden . And sir your voice sounds like one of my best friend who I met in Arizona Even the way your work so neatly are similar to my friend . Thanks again sir !
Hi BB! I stumbled on to your page here. I have to say, you have an amazing gardening discipline. I usually have a in ground vegetable garden in my back yard every year. And I do rather well with peppers and tomatoes. Im looking into starting some containers on my back deck this year too. I have to say i've had a terrible time starting anything with seeds!! Im going to try it your way and see how I make out. Do you ever top off your pepper plants? I started topping off my peppers two years ago and they produced much more than they ever have. I also with my in ground garden added an irrigation system and that seemed to help improve my crops. Your gardening habits are my goal this year!! But on a much smaller scale!! Thanks
Great video. I really admire your methodical, patient, thorough approach. And the way you use the 3 inch square pots in the clear plastic rectangular box is brilliant from a design perspective. Those clear tubs are easily transportable and the dimensions seem to work out wonderfully. I've struggled for several years to bring seedlings to the garden. I've often had success, it just seems like your approach makes it so much easier and more efficient. Well done. Very enjoyable video from someone who's been at this for years. And i really like the organization of your week by week chart. Shown at the beginning. Very well done. 5 Stars, bravo. Definitely a video for beginners. And your growth lights make the indoor germination process a slam dunk. I live in north eastern Ohio, and don't have much sunlight into the house. SO the growth light issue is something I've wrestled with for years. I just haven't had a very well thought out system. I really like yours for many reasons. Thanks.
Thanks for making this video. I've been struggling with indoor propagation but there are so many good tips here. I particularly liked the stacking of the seed bags, using the digital thermometer with probe and bundling it all in towels.
Hello from Ireland. Your set up is really good. I am amazed how your doing so much. Your plants look crisp and extremely vibrant. The mix I use the same. I let my garden rest for the last 2 years. I had hens and turkeys. Their gone now, extremely hard work in my crappy country with the crappy weather we get. Rain, rain and did I mention rain. The weather wasn't great the last 2 Seasons anyway. Thanks to all the chemtail spraying we got little or no! Sun. I digress. Top notch garden keep up the great work.
I hear ya MI gardener...I was thinking the same thing...that soil is wonderful...I'm so glad your back bub cause I love your videos ...can't wait to see more this season!!
That was great! I was stunned your organisation and presentation from start to end...your incredible skill with plant handling at every stage....beautiful nursery work, lovely growing spaces and beds, I am in awe of your ease and ability!!! Blew me away hahaha I am just starting a greenhouse and seed trays for winter so I have seen everyone on utube's videos on this topic....but you nailed it for me without doing a whole lot of messy stuff that is too hit and miss anyway for what I am doing, so thanks and Best, Karen M.
Wow excellent video I'm just thinking about growing a garden and you gave me lots of Hope and looks like it's a lot of fun excellent video excellent excellent excellent
I love your organization!! I feel so far behind some peppers are still germinating and didn't have much luck this year w the other batch. Hopefully we get to see sooner videos 😆
You are awesome and inspirational. Thanks for the info. I like paper towel idea. but don't have heating system. what are some easy way to germination seeds?
I have been watching videos for quite sometime, but i find your yours very inspiring, you make everyone feel like gardening is so easy... i learned new technique in gardening which i can use... one more thing, I really can see the result1 thanks for sharing your knowledge1
Great video! This is my first year gardening so bear with me if I have a stupid question. When you take the sprouted seed from the paper towel to the container what type of soil do you use in the container? Is it a seed starting soil or just like a standard potting soil? Thanks!
Great video! Luv the kitty and your square bed planting tips! Your soil looks amazing!what did you use to start your beds off? New at this and seen your container plants and thought WOW I gotta follow your example! Thanks!
Totally enjoyed your seed starting process! I'm always planting radishes too close together. What is kitty's name?? What a fun sidekick. I accidently discovered that alfalfa pellets make a good mulch cover and it add a lot of natural nitrogen to the dirt.(I had a bag my chickens wouldn't eat) After pellets get wet, it turns into a mush and keeps weeds from sprouting. I live on a ranch and we also from 1000's of acre of corn. I noticed when you set your corn plant in the bed, the roots were a bit balled up on bottom. It helps to loosen up the root ball a bit. Keep up the good work! Your new Sandhills fan.
You sound just like woody harrelson. If that's how you spell his last name. Thanks for all the info too. Awesome black cat. Black cats rule. Wouldn't trade mine Have a good one.
great video... so much better seeing it through the process from germination to planting... i started roughly the same time as you and you have amazing growth compared to mine. i'm doing okay, but WOW you are killing it!!!
You do an awesome job. I watch a lot of videos and most people just want to show off what they have instead of teaching. You are a great teacher and in cast you haven't seen his videos, check out Hollis & Nancy's homestead. He teaches good like you. What zone are you in? I am in 9a, south Texas. I have to plant by March or my tomatoes will burn up by July when the temps are in the 100's. I love your cat. I have 5 black ones and 4 others that are white and tortoise colored.
You must be some sort of engineer by trade or perhaps, you should be as you're very thorough and highly organized. Thank you for your engaging videos. I wonder which part of the country you're from.
How far south are you. We can get frost til third week of May. So I think I would need to start two months ahead of that day.. love the way tou prestarted the seeds. Never seen that done. Will try it.
Love the way your so methodical,it's a beauty. Now...I just need to make a few tweaks ....then hopefully I follow by your example because yours is the best I have ever seen. I love the sweet black cat garden helper ^*•*^
awwwww man thank you so much ! great ideas and very clear interesting video and commentary............superstar you ! my wife and I enjoy your vids and are inspired................I can see that slug and other pest control is far better with your systems
Do you find that any seeds do not like being started in this way? I started seeds in a tray, but my house closing ended up taking a lot longer and they didn't do well. I am a little worried about the radish and cabbage seeds being so small. Either way I am in the process of doing this technique. I know I am getting a late start, but we had snow at the end of April and a killing frost not even 2 weeks ago so I feel I am not far behind other people. I gotta finish my raised beds this week. Any information would be appreciated. I will fix my process next year. I really like a lot of your videos.
