If anyone is on a budget and want seed starting trays, you could ask a local grower or nursery if they have any. We get hundreds in the first couple months of the year and just toss them.

@GrowVeg Год назад

Great suggestion. :-)

@catherinemcdonald9141 Год назад

Thank you for your suggestion, I never considered doing that. Much love to you x

Can we just appreciate the quality of these vidoes, with the variety of angles, some lush lighting and funny little cutaways... Just utterly entertaining and high quality. I'd say you should be on mainstream tv, but I think that'd only take away from how truly splendid these tutorials are. Im a budding gardener and learning how to do this with my young children, and each video I soak up so much wonderful info and tips. Thank you for the time and effort!

I have 3 1020 trays of seedlings outside braving the weather, and one tray inside on a heat mat with seeds germinating. When the rain lets up, I'll be direct sowing Komatsuna, Chijimisai, Tatsoi, turnips, beetroot, Yod Fah, carrots, and radishes. My polytunnel greenhouse project is nearly complete, lacking mulch groundcover, and installing the cover. The three raised beds going inside it are finished, filled, and ready for planting. My snow peas are planted and sprouting. This weekend, and throughout next week, I will be turning over the leaves covering the raised beds into the soil, and seeding them. The strawberry plants I have on order are scheduled for delivery Monday, and will be planted in a GreenStalk Tower. Potato planting is coming up soon, in a week or two. The planting season has officially begun.

@GrowVeg Год назад

Lots to be looking forward to there Jay - great stuff!

@magencramer7359 Год назад

I have found that pricking out the seedlings produces healthier plants although it's contrary to popular belief. I use slightly more nutritious soil each time that I pot up. The plants are so much stronger for it and really don't have any transplant shock when they go outside. 😊

@GrowVeg Год назад

That's really great to hear Magen. :-)

@allig2461 Год назад

Thank you Ben, your infectious enthusiasm is just what I need after a very long, cold winter. And a million thank yous for using the term "potting mix" instead of "compost", much less confusing. Compost is what we make from our garden and kitchen waste and use to top dress the garden beds. Potting mix, of which compost is an ingredient, is for putting in pots. Have a great growing season. 🥦🍅🥕🥔

@katrin462 Год назад

Always enjoy watching people sow seeds! I started some cold tolerant tomatoes really early and will do the rest maybe in 2 weeks. Lettuce from self saved seeds are out too! Some sweet peppers and aubergines are on trial this year and I seem to have acquired different chili seeds (don't know how that happened) that were sown already also. Can't wait to start potting everything up into their next pots. Growing food is just the best.

@GrowVeg Год назад

Absolutely Katrin - such a rewarding experience. :-)

@barbstroud2712 Год назад

A disadvantage of seed starting mix is that there are very few nutrients in it for the seedlings after they sprout. I like your idea, Ben, of sifting the potting mix - you get a light mix to start in that way. And I mix the potting soil with water before filling the plugs. Then I punch the holes and put in the seed or sprouts and add just a bit of soil for covering the seed. Then I can water lightly assuring that the top and seed get wet too.

@GrowVeg Год назад

Pre-watering is a great way to avoid disturbing the seeds and ensure full moisture penetration, great idea Barb.

@MikeReevesMcMillan Год назад

When you gave your tip about creating a mini greenhouse with clear plastic and an elastic band, I wondered, "Would a shower cap (which is both those things in one) work?" Turns out the answer is "yes".

@GrowVeg Год назад

Indeed it would - good thinking! :-)

@vanessataylor4125 Год назад

Thank you Ben your enthusiasm is contagious 😃. I love this time of the year too, in fact I start to get excited in January because I have a whole new growing season to look forward to. One little tip I have is to use the clear plastic round containers that you get olives, sun dried tomatoes and various dips in to put over the plant pot. Some fit perfectly and others may need the top trimmed off so they can sit just inside the pot. They act as a mini greenhouse and can easily be removed for checking. As always I look forward to your next video 👍

Really enjoying your videos, just planted my first seeds indoors last weekend (Green Beans, Sprouts, Broccoli & Onions) ready to go in my cold frame outside in 2-3 weeks (weirdly warm in UK for February). You've motivated me to up my vegetable growing this year, bought 3x 180cm x 90cm x 45cm depth raised beds and covered in a bamboo frame with insect mesh! Planning to grow Potatoes in Bed 1, Onions (red & white) in Bed 2, Sprouts, Broccoli & Sweetcorn (only 2 of each) in Bed 3, in the first half the year, then moving to Sweed in Bed 1, Cauliflower in Bed 2, more Sprouts (for a later harvest) and Spring Onions in Bed 3. Also growing Courgettes & Climbing Green Beans in pots. Can't wait to see it all pan out, last year I only did Tomatoes, Strawberries, Garlic & Spring Onions.

Here in North Florida, I have been starting seeds since January. Most indoors and some for my spring garden that can take some possible frost. Going to do some more tomorrow! Right now I have tons of peas started, some outside to grow peas up, many more in seed trays to eat pea shoots. I've never done that and you make it sound so tasty I couldn't help but try it. Very excited. I also have different tomato varieties going, a couple different peppers, several herbs, and many flowers. Along w/peas, though in different areas, I have Rat tail radish (a new one for me), baby bok choy, purple bok choy, wasabina, a few lettuce, one early jersey cabbage (because it's the only 1 of my original 3 that made it, some bachelor buttons, to keep the cabbage company😍, and a whole host of flowers in my front yard. God bless you and everyone here with great growth this year!

Starting out anew after decades without a garden or greenhouse, I direct sowed seeds last Sunday (2/19/23). Five days later I already had Radishes sprouting. And within just a few more days I had Peas and Spinach sprouting. As of yet though, no sign of my Carrots, Onions, or Lettuce. But I expect them soon. Tomorrow I'll probably sow some of the beneficial flowers into the garden.

Whoo-hoo! I planted out my peppers and ( a little early) sweet potato slips. They were looking sad, and I thought getting them in the ground does give them a shot. If I left them in the pots, they would have been done, anyway. Corn is in, zucchini is in and pole beans- all direct sow. This garden planner keeps me right on track, and it really helps to keep me from getting overwhelmed with what I can plant now, and what I can wait on. I'm also paying attention to harvest dates. I don't want to have 3 weeks of living with the picking basket, and spending hours a day in the kitchen, trying to put everything away. Thanks Ben!

Last year I trialed using a wheelie bin half filled with water with the lid off in my greenhouse. I grow chilli's and asian plants which love the hot moist atmosphere and found having the additional water in the warmer months boosted the greenhouse climate and didn't have to water half as often. Turned out really well so will do the same this year. Forgot to mention, it's also a great slug trap, but a bit gross to empty...

Nice one Ben. Might be worth mentioning to only buy coir from reputable sources these days. With the race on for peat replacement materials, there have been many reports of seedlings and plants dying through the use of coir that has not been rinsed properly at processing. Salt is left in the coir and as you know - this kills plants.

These crops are easy to grow for novice gardeners and can be grown in pots too for those with a smaller space. Also very timely given the news about the poor growing season in southern Europe this winter and the shortage of salad crops currently.

@PoliticallyIncorrectMechanic Год назад

I noticed you did touch upon hardening a little bit. Would it be possible to do a video on that subject or perhaps maybe incorporate a little bit more on it in another video? I only ask because last year I almost lost all my tomatoes and peppers sticking them outside before actually putting them in the ground. Luckily we have a cover on our porch that shaded some of them and those are the ones that actually ended up surviving and getting planted

@crankybanshee3809 Год назад

Think of hardening off as building tolerance. Start with an hour of early morning or (very) late afternoon sun and gradually increase from there. Depending on what kind of plant they are, the plants may need to go out and back in quite a few times before they will be tough enough for enduring midday sun.

@GrowVeg Год назад

This video's a bit old but covers the hardening off process in more detail: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yM0LgcsJQpM.html
