Have YOU ever seeded snapdragon seeds? If you have you know that they are so tiny that they are very difficult to work with. With my intellect and desire to find the easiest way to do things, I have come up with my genius technique, that saves me a measurable amount of time! Basically, I broadcast spread the seeds in a tray, then prick the seedlings out when they are tiny. For me personally, its quicker to do it this way, because pricking them out is easier than the process of manipulating and precisely depositing the teeny tiny snapdragon seeds. So learn from me! Or don't, but still watch the video. Don't forget to press the like button, I wouldn't ask if it didn't actually help us. And, If you really want to help us, click on one of our other videos at the end of the video, that's the single biggest positive feedback thing that a viewer can do.
PS no seedlings were hurt in the filming of this video

@King_of_carrot_flowers 2 года назад

One word of advice if you are pricking out seedling from a seed mix with mixed colors/varieties, etc: Don't throw out the smaller or weak ones, as these are often the ones with brighter colored flowers. If you don't need all of them, take a selection of different shapes and sizes.

@asteria4279 2 года назад

I leave the leftovers to grow a few more days and do a second round. Even single variety has a range of germination days. I love this technique for lots of seeds - salad too!

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

Great point. I also do the second round idea too, to get all the seeds

@bluetreedog1205 2 года назад

I noticed 3 trays of packet seed popped up about 14 days and just this morning at about 28 days the seed i collected from last year are just waking up 😃😃 yes ! So dont give up on them

@marianstallings7344 2 года назад

Good to know, thank you!

@jerryp2790 8 месяцев назад

I had no idea about this! So if I plant any seeds whose packet says “___ mix” such as Zinnia State Fair Mix or Gazania Sunset Blend then I should prioritize the smallest seedling if I can only choose one to keep? Instead of keeping the biggest strongest one and thinning out the smaller ones?

@Botruc 2 года назад

I use this technique as well! For very small seeds and to sprinkle them a bit more evenly, I usually mix them with a bit of sand. It usually results in a better spread.

@amassing 2 года назад

In the UK this is the normal way most hobby gardeners start seeds - seemed really odd to me that this is presented as a novel technique. I was always taught never to touch the stem and always pull the seedlings out by a leaf just because if you accidently break a leaf it can recover but not from a broken stem. Plug trays and soil blocking is becoming increasingly popular here now in part influenced by how RU-vidrs in the US & Canada do things.

@BramptonGardener 2 года назад

Thats funny since the soil blockers are made in UK haga

@jayssands4903 2 года назад

I was about to say the same thing to be honest about pulling it by the leaf and never the stem!

@Scott3387 2 года назад

Yeah I do the same as Charles Dowding. Prick out at the first leaf stage (people seem scared of transplanting cotyledons but they are surprisingly tough), fully saturate everything, pull up clump, hold by leaf, tease apart, plant deeply up to the leaves, water in. What do you prick out into though if not a module tray? Pricking into even the smallest standard pot feels massively wasteful.

@BramptonGardener 2 года назад

@@Scott3387 I've been pricking out into my mini soil blocks, and its working beautifully.

@amassing 2 года назад

@@Scott3387 Personally I use module trays a lot but worth remembering that the typical UK garden is very small so often people only need a few of each plant. Direct sowing in the soil is also still a very common practice here and most gardeners don't have grow lights.

@helenachase5627 2 года назад

My dad sold bedding plants when I was little. He sat us all downstairs doing this at 10 yrs old and paid us per tray . We loved it and he called it transplanting. Snapdragons are my nicest childhood memories. And my first tabby cat was named marigold. Great video, thanks

@xSunshinex4206 2 года назад

I love the sprinkling method and do it as often as possible 🌻Glad you are showing this. Done it with leeks, celery, many many of the flowers and more, even tomatoes and peppers. It is easy and it saves space, especially if you can plant them out directly and skip a repotting step. (After hardening them off of course). I sow in deeper trays or containers and in regular potting soil, sometimes with a layer of seed starting mix ontop. The seedlings can grow for a longer time in the trays, and after the first set of true leaves I start giving them soluble fertilizer. If they start to look a bit tired, or if growth is stunted, then I can usually just lift up the mat and add soil underneath. This works especially well for leeks.

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

Great tips!

@DAM89 2 года назад

One method i have tried in the past is using a pencil and sowing into cells. Wet the end of the pencil so it is a little tacky then dip into seeds and poke into surface of soil. I found that you may have a few seeds stick and grow in the center of each cell, then just thin out as they grow. I do this with most small dust like seeds.

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

I do that technique for a lot of stuff, especially long and skinny seeds. But snaps drive me crazy

@bohemiangardensandgourdfar8812 2 года назад

Been gardening, farming and marketing for a little over 25 years, but have never used open tray seeding, however in an effort to learn something new to me I will give it a try, thanks for the video and for helping me to believe I can! Maybe you can teach an old dog a new trick!!😊

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

I don't do this for veggies other then tomatoes and peppers, because most veggies have good germination rates and the seeds are a lot easier to handle

@Dixiwonderlandyoutube 2 года назад

Snapdragons are a first for me this year and when I saw how small the seeds were I wanted to throw them away 🤣 This video was so helpful 😍 Thank you so much 💚

@ahavarichardson5426 2 года назад

This is exactly how I sow and up pot my Snapdragons! I didn't see anyone do it, I learned from trial and error! I use several smaller containers and I got over 100 in a much smaller container and MORE TO GO! Lowe's had snapdragons for $1.87 a plant!!

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

It's definitely expensive to buy every single plant when you have a lot of space to fill

@ogadlogadl490 5 месяцев назад

@saminairfan45 2 года назад

I do this with all of the seedlings…..buy me sometime while they are germinating

@bethazure731 Год назад

Serina, do you germinate in a warm area or cool? I've heard snaps like cool(obviously for growing they do) but wasn't sure that applied to germination as well? Also, do you dome yours and when do you take the dome off? Thanks so much!!

@gr8gardn 2 года назад

LOVE THIS!!! It makes supreme sense and takes the drudgery out of sowing all "dust" like seeds. I watched it twice so far. I wonder if using a channel flat (20 row seed flat) would also be helpful in saving space, seed starting mix, and time. Then 20 different kinds of seeds can be germinated in the space of one flat. The channel flat is shallow and requires a shallow germination or shallow leakproof tray to go underneath. The good news is the shallow bottom tray can be used with other flats that have high cell counts. Standard humidity domes fit on top. I found a great tip is using a silver metallic sharpie pen to number the rows on the flat from 1 to 20 and keeping a list instead of making teeny labels. For more than one channel flat, write A, B, C... on the ends in silver sharpie. I am getting ready to try all of this out.

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

You can totally use channel trays! I don't do too much of this, so I don't feel the need to buy the specific trays. But they work great!

@shawnsg 2 года назад

I bought one of the channel trays to try. I was going to do the different varieties at once but then I started getting worried about germination times. I didn't want to end up with some germinated and some not. Then I'm stuck deciding whether to risk harming the seedlings with too much humidity or accidentally letting the seeds dry out.

@nicholahartwell5868 2 года назад

But you could seed the same thing in different colours, which is what I do in channel trays!! Then you know they will pretty much develop at the same time for pricking out!!

@deblux3802 2 года назад

Pricking them out with a metal point ice pick works better than anything else I’ve used of the years. The roots won’t get snagged. For a smoother transition lightly sand paper file the ice pick to remove any fine micro rust that may form.

@BramptonGardener 2 года назад

I had to do this today with my lobelia and cosmos seedlings, I went a little crazy with the teeny tiny seeds haha

@kele1264 2 года назад

"Dust" 🤣 Holy cow, that looked like only a teaspoon or so of those seeds. 5,000! Crazy! Glad you showed us. I have small packs of snapdragon seeds, unopened. Now I know to be extra careful opening them, and not assuming that there's only a little dust and no seeds in the packets. Your method is much better than a magnifying glass and tweezers!

Microdust. 🤣🤣 I do similar. Last year I found massive difficulty in germinating them in soil so I used damp kitche roll instead and as each germinated, moved them into cells. What a beautiful flower from such a pain of a seed!

@YouCantEatTheGrass 2 года назад

Definitely a pain, lol

@rik80280 2 года назад

It's also great for lettuce. And you can do the same thing right in the ground in the warmer months. I actually did this by accident after I let a lettuce plant go to seed. It dropped all its seeds in one place, and I transplanted dozens of them into evenly spaced beds, and it was SO little work! It saved my fall lettuce crop, since I had a bunch of failures in the intentionally seeded trays.

This will be my 5th year gardening.

@beabell809 Год назад

It usually takes me sooo long to pot up because I am usually so scared of hurting their roots.

Dampen the vermiculite, sprinkle them on the surface, spray bottle surface a bit, heat mat. In a few days you can either pot up, I do three in one cell or soil block. Or leave them in until second leaves form. The roots are a inch long! Just make sure you keep damp. I'll spray the side as well to bring more moisture to roots. I kept them under grow lights for weeks😃

This is a common nursery technique for poor germ seeds. A few ways we make it more efficient is to loosen the soil in the tray first then pull the seedling from the leaf not the stem, place the tray in front of you so you aren't twisting to get plants and no need to pre dibble the holes just use your stick to push plants in mid root so if you accidently snap the roots there is still some left to grow. We also plant snap supper deep so they don't fall over.

I'm using grow lights (LED full spectrum from Amazon which slot into a regular lamp her in Scotland) but I'm now wondering if they're not as good as they claim to be, if I'm keeping them on too long, if I'm missing some other basic elements as everything I've germinated to date using similar techniques looks WAY more leggy and not like your seedlings in this video.
