i am so excited we can now grow!!!!! I would never thin. I always give extras to neighbors.

@2MinuteGardenTips 5 месяцев назад

If you try to separate the roots, it will set the plants back. It damages the roots. If you don't need the extra plants, it's better to cut.

@ObsessiveAboutCats 5 месяцев назад

I like to start tomato seedlings in red solo cups filled about halfway with seed starting mix. I'll sow about 1.5 seeds per cup on average (more if I know a particular variety has poor germination). When the seedlings are very young (before any true leaves form), I'll make sure the soil is well moistened, then gently lift one of the extras out and relocate it into a new cup where I didn't have any germination. They almost always survive this process, since the root is a tiny little thing. This also avoids the pain of the thinning process, and leaves me with more tomato plants than I quite know what to do with! Then, as they grow, I can just keep adding fresh potting soil (soaked in Alaska fish fertilizer) around the stem, so I don't have to move them again until they're ready to go out into the garden.

If the larger plant is leggy I will thin the thin plant for a smaller robust plant and adjust the light closer so the other seedlings don't get leggy

@DavidA-uk9bm 5 месяцев назад

Love it, I had to laugh when you ate the inferior seedling, kinda like a sci-fi movie, lol!

Baby kale's pretty tasty.

@betsybugsmith5324 5 месяцев назад

I hate thinning although it’s a good practice. If I can I will separate them instead. 😊

@katiedavis5861 5 месяцев назад

It hurts me too, but I learned my lesson last year as both seedlings become weak.

@2MinuteGardenTips 5 месяцев назад

I only separate if there is a reason to do so. If you have enough plants, it can do more harm than good by damaging the roots.

@conniedavidson1807 5 месяцев назад

Me too.

@danegeorge7966 5 месяцев назад

Thinning by separation is better more plants is better. Just do it early

@ObsessiveAboutCats 5 месяцев назад

I've had good luck with this method. I move them as soon as they pop up and I can see the seed leaves look healthy, well before any true leaves even think about forming. The roots are tiny little things and don't seem to mind it.

Two minutes of information. Pruned out noisy unrelated chatter, weird music, kids report cards, etc. Much appreciated!

And if you add a stick with copper wire into the ground…. Electro culture, your plants will explode with growth… it’s incredible!

@foragingandurbanfarmingatt4745 5 месяцев назад

I did this a few days ago to my broccoli and cauliflower seedlings, and before I knew it my Panda (dog) ate them!😂

While trimming is painful, I keep telling my self…”there can only be one”

@tericorominas2364 5 месяцев назад

What fertilizer are you using on your strawberries? Also can you put together something for blood meal vs bone meal and when to use? Thanks so much

@2MinuteGardenTips 5 месяцев назад

I don't really fertilize my strawberries. I let them go as ground cover for the most part. In a couple weeks, I'll probably have to weed the area and add some compost to fill in the gaps to prepare them for spring, but other than that, I don't do much. I'm sure fertilizer would help them produce more, though, so anything 5-5-5 roughly would be fine.

@sircorkysriley4904 5 месяцев назад

is it okay to transplant those brassicas fairly deep because sometimes they are fairly thin at the base??

@2MinuteGardenTips 5 месяцев назад

I plant them flush with the soil. I do not plant them deeply. I'm not sure what the "cut-off" depth would be where you could risk harming the plant. You'd have to experiment.

@IllumeEltanin 5 месяцев назад

Hi Anthony. Do you have any advice, or even a video, on starting basil seeds alongside tomato seeds? I know tomatoes need to germinate without light. Is the same true for basil? Once germinated, is the care for tomatoes and basil similar until transplanting?

@ObsessiveAboutCats 5 месяцев назад

Not Anthony, but my tomatoes and basils seem happy with me. My advice: Both tomatoes and basils have pretty similar requirements as far as germination - they like to be covered with a very thin layer of soil and do well with a heating mat. They like a similar temperature range, and they take about as long to be ready for transplant. They both want lots and lots of light as soon as they germinate. After germination, care diverges; tomatoes need to have soil added around their stems so additional roots can form, so either uppot them and plant them up to the bottom leaves, or start them in cups where you can add soil around the stems. Basils need to be uppotted to larger containers, but at the same depth; once multiple sets of true leaves start forming, they'll need to be pruned to encourage branching. Tomatoes need a pretty good balance of nutrients; if you go too nitrogen heavy, you'll get busy plants with little fruit. Millennial Gardener main channel has numerous very thorough vids on this subject and says exactly when to shift between each fertilizer blend. Basils need all nutrients but primarily nitrogen, as you want bushy growth and aren't trying for fruit. So you can start them at the same time, and maybe even in the same seed tray, but once they get going, they'll need different techniques. Also there are many varieties of basil; some, like Thai, end up being huge, so you'll need to space those very different from something like globe basil or Genovese.

@omegacanon 5 месяцев назад

Yo i never thought to cut instead of pull but duh on me for disturbing the roots of my seedlings!

@2MinuteGardenTips 5 месяцев назад

It's a lot easier on the seedlings to cut them. If you don't need extra plants, it's better for them.

@denyshadials5702 5 месяцев назад

This is my first time starting seeds and after 1.5 weeks it’s looking more like 25% have germinated 🥲…and only 10% of that is showing a decent growth rate. How long do I wait before starting over or buying new seeds?
