@Cassandra only sprinkle fine soil on top of the seedlings. If you're planting too deep don't make finger holes like Mark did in the video. You'll plant them even deeper if you have issues with that now. Just fill your pot with soil. Soak seeds in water for a few hours. Water the soil in the pot first. Drain seeds from water and rest them on top of the soil in the pot. Place some fine potting mix over the seedlings. You only need about a half an inch of loose fine soil over seedlings. I then use a spray bottle to mist water on the top of the soil. Just moisten it to set it. Mist seedlings with the spray bottle. Never water directly onto seedlings. They are delicate. Hope this helps 🙏 ☺ 😉

After binge watching this type of videos for maybe 7-8 months I have started growing some veggies in my flat. No balcony, just on the window in long deep pots. I have a constant supply of big cucumbers, lots of spices like basil, thyme, mint and dill, then I have romaine lettuce which I keep on cutting the big leafs from and use in lettuce, kale , an avocado and also lavender because I heard it smells amazing fresh 😬. I have to say when I started it everyone around me kept saying I'll fail from day 1 , so don't give up 😋 if you start a small garden on your window

To add to #5, when you thin out the extra seedlings from a cell, instead of pulling out the extra ones, use a small pair of scissors to trim the unwanted plants off at the soil level so that you don't disturb the soil for the healthy one you want to remain. Also the roots from the unwanted seedlings will break down and become nutrients for the remaining seedling.

Since I first watched this channel, I have become a seriously avid gardener. I grew up on a 1/4 acre block in Adelaide and we never went hungry for fresh food - we had a nectarine tree, million dollar peach, apricot, loquat, navel orange, valencia orange, grapefruit, four almond trees down the back behind the shed in the chicken run - and the old man had his market garden. We helped mum cut up the beans to jar up, help make the tomato sauce and chutney, slice up the peaches and apricots for the Fowlers Vacola preserving outfit, not to mention the jams, all stored in our little cellar under the kitchen floorboards. Lost the knack over the years but now my hands are never clean of good old mother nature's soil. This channel should be compulsory viewing for young kids today. They might learn that there Ardmore wholesome things to eat than sloppy hamburgers with artificial sauce.

I live in the north of England and we can get some late frosts. I can cover some of my plants but not all. I tend to sow anything I know I might need to delay planting out into a small pot rather than a seed tray. Then I can put compost at the bottom with a layer of seed medium at the top. If I need to leave them longer before planting out, I know the young plants have the nutrients from the compost.

I have a growing season of about 5 maybe 6 months here in Maine, USA. Last fall I built an indoor grow room with grow lights in my house. Most seeds can be started 4 to 6 weeks before outdoor planting. Even Cannibis, which is completely legal here, can be grown here and the largest plants i grow take about 7 months to bud for harvest. Sometimes I move the plants outdoors and let them grow taller. I find myself with 15 ft plants when I do this.

This year I’m only using peat moss to grow my seeds. Here in Northern California we have a lot of fungus spores in the air from the ocean breeze carrying it over so any material that has nutrients in it will impact the seeds negatively. Then I use a seaweed liquid fertilizer and feed them when they have sprouted 2 leaves. I keep them in their containers until temperatures outside is above 50 degrees Fahrenheit in the evenings. That’s when I transfer them out. I totally understand what you mean about those sneaky freezes in Spring. So I have learned to wait until May to transplant them. Thanks for sharing your tips.

Hi mate I love your channel. I want to share my experience. I live in the Philippines, temp 30C (86F) all year round, so this might be irrelevant to many of your viewers, but here goes. I was SOOO disheartened that my seeds never came up; I planted them in coco-peat and perlite, with a spot of vermicompost and left them under the bathroom sink, fairly shaded. Nothing came up at all. Ever. Yet most of my seeds direct in the ground germinated. Last week I said to my wife that I was going to plant the seeds then just leave them outside in starter pots. Within 24 hours I had 95% plus germination of radishes and carrots. I think that direct sunlight is ok for germination - it sure surprised me,

Oh I have been binge watching 👀 lol. Its so entertaining even for an old gardener like myself. These videos are like chips. Can't have just one😉 I do wish I could grow all he does but I'm in the northern hemisphere and darn near the whole other side of the planet lol But I'm sure there are a few things we grow that won't do as well in the heat.

Like his "professional" tools (screwdriver). This is what makes him relatable...he's down to earth (pun intended) and passionate about gardening and helping. There's no agenda or interest in pushing merchandise. Thank you for your help!

Why has it taken me so long to find you. Hahha. Amazing content. Watched heaps of you today. Got sick of my usual love of tiktok gardeners mostly from US. Wrong seasons for us Aussies. And I'm new to it all. So now can watch you. Love the grass roots approach. That's no frills. Use what ya got. I love it. Jol gold coast

I love watching your videos. I've been working in a flower shop for the last 9 and a half years now. But I only started planting and sowing about 1 year ago. And after I found your videos I started to really get in to it. So Thank you for the many amazing videos you have. They really inspire me to get into it😊😁😉
