However, it is definitely that time of year and even late February will be acceptable for these crops if you live further North. These crops will give you a head start to your gardening season and help to get the winter blues gone!

I watch a few big RU-vidrs who have gained lots of success over the last couple of years but I must say you Luke are the only one who has stayed humble and does not show ego at their success. Your videos are still helpful, informative and passionate. I’ve seen other channels change but I’m glad you are true to you.

@elizabethfindlay5752 Год назад

Luke is the only one to keep my attention for those reasons.

@cherylcapelety2573 Год назад

1) Artichoke 2) Asparagus 3) Leafy Brassicas (Kale, collards, cabbage) 4) lettuce in succession every 4 weeks 5) celery (takes a long time to grow so start early) 6) peppers (long germination stage) 7) cold hardy and takes a long time to grow herbs (cilantro, rosemary, thyme, oregano) 8) alliums ( shallots, bunching onions, leeks, onions) use 2 - 3 inch cups and sow @ 50 seeds/cup, trim tops as they get too tall, transplant when appears to be root bound)

First year growing celery and I saw 700 seeds in the packet and how small they were I thought they must have low germination rate. Boy was I wrong. Ended up with over 50 seedlings in my 6 cell. Potted them all in their own cells, then some more started sprouting. So I’m overrun with celery.😂🌱

Same here too! I’ve got lots of peppers I overwintered, so I have half the space I normally do for seed starting and need to be more strategic about starting seeds this year.

@Ibis333 Год назад

@@Rabellaka. I overwintered an impatiens and took some iceplant cuttings to winter inside too as a back up in case I lose my plants outside. I thought I'd be able to keep the impatiens as a house plant in indirect light but it was defoliating so much I felt I had to throw it under the grow lights. Now it's three times as big as it was! I'm kind of hoping to harden the iceplants off and stick them outside since our winter has been so mild. I live east of Oshawa. 😰I need the space!

15 years ago i aquired some seeds and it was over 500 packets of many different seeds.

I hope they stay alive too make it into my garden. My last frost date is April 19th this year. I will be dedicating my utility room to a makeshift greenhouse:)

@tennesseenana4838 Год назад

I fold the top over onto itself and use a paperclip to 're-seal' my seed packets. Also, because I don't have a greenhouse nor space in my home for seed starting, I use the winter sowing method for starting my seeds in February and March - zone 6b/7a. Last year I had really good success with it, so am doing it this year.

Here in CT, the weather has been so warm all rain with no snow except about 3 inches in mid December. We had the arctic blast, but a few days later we were back to the upper 50's. We usually have several feet of snow. Since my raised beds are workable I planted a row of peas and put plastic bottles over them as an experiment.

@lgarden7086 Год назад

I’m in S Ct and I sprout my peas in paper towels in plastic and plant them out St Patrick’s day. I found this method works very well for sugar snaps and snow peas. When I plant them I just barely cover them with soil and straw. I might try your method as an experiment but my peas aren’t in raised beds…I grow them in ground up cattle panels.

Yes to cilantro overwintering! I had no idea it was so cold-hardy. I let a bit of it self-seed in one of my raised beds last summer, and it has so far survived everything winter here in Ohio has thrown at it, including the coldest day this region has seen in the past 25 years. That cilantro is still there in my beds, green and healthy. This has entirely changed my plans for growing it.

Hi, if anyone is east of this tragic East Palestine, Ohio train car & intentional chemical burn or near the burn plume & waterway contamination, I would hold off eating anything grown outdoors (fruiting, veggies, poultry, eggs & livestock). We're gonna need to wait a long time before the truth comes out. Consider indoor growing with filtered air, if moving residence is not an option. Prayers.

Last year was so hot here in Texas. Peppers wouldn’t fruit until things started cooling down at the end of last summer. Everyone I know. Who were growing peppers were wondering why they had no peppers. I explained it’s the heat. I pulled mine onto a shaded patio. Then put box fans on them. I was still harvesting peppers into December.

@rochellebailey5976 Год назад

Here in Missouri during February, we've been going from 50s to multiple "blizzard" snow days to sunny beautiful 60s over this last weekend, a warm rain today, snow forecasted for Thursday then back in 50/60s for the weekend 🤦‍♀️. So yeah, all over the place. Got lettuce and snow peas in the ground and hoping to start more seeds in my mini greenhouse this coming weekend. Have some determinate tomatoes about an inch high looking great right now (that will go in pots), so very excited for some possible early ripe ones. Worried about starting pepper seeds this early, but good point in them taking forever to germinate/ take off. Barely got a crop in last year. Direct sowed rather late in May last year, and took them over 2 months to establish. I wrote everything down when I started/germinated/ brought outside ect... do I ever use that info, no 🤦‍♀️ So thanks for the reminders like that.
