I enjoy how you garden on a budget because most of us want as many plants as we can but not spend a fortune

Love how detailed you are in explaining your process for growing seeds. Thank you.

I love listening to you. You are very detailed . Thank you.

Vita that is a ton of plants and they all look so healthy and fantastic. You back yard nursery is going to be booming this year:)

In another three weeks, I'm going to put a video on my channel showing the three week growth of my impatiens that I planted this past week.

Love it! You can never have too many! 🌸

Thank you! This video was SO helpful! 👏🏽👏🏽

Zone 5B also & starting flower & garden seed indoors! Great info & Happy Growing in 2024!!

Hi Vita! I had such great germination with the seeds I collected last year, I too ended up with a lot of impatients! I have a lot of shade, so they will go to good use, and I'm already planning to share them with my family and friends. I started them in takeout containers like you do, and then up potted them to the small seed containers like you also (12 6packs per tray for 72 total in one tray). Once they reached about 2-3" tall, I potted them up again into 8 oz plastic cups. I figured they would enjoy the extra room. Unfortunately I'm running out of room in my house, because these containers take up more room than the little 6 pack seed trays. Is this necessary or can I just leave them in the 6 pack? Will this give them enough room to grow until its time to plant outside? Thanks for these videos, you have a wealth of knowledge!

Hi Vita. Do you ever grow Bacopa? If so, have you collected the seeds and is it difficult? Thanks Glenda

How often do you fertilize the seedlings?

Do impatien seedlings need the led lights for germination? I have them under led and on a heating pad…

my impatiens are trying my patience. Im just now seeing tiny seedlings lol

First:)

Only 4 out of 40 impatien seeds germinated 😭 I’m having trouble germinating petunias as well

I tried moving all my seedlings into 6 cell packs and they all withered up. Is that from overwatering? Having them outside in the sun? I am frustrated all my babies died 😢

I love impatiants. One of my favourite plants. However, please be aware of the vine weevil larvae. They decimate my impatients in pots and conteiners by the beginnning of august. Exactly when they bloom the best. I have even tried keeping them off the ground but the adults climb and jump. They come in droves uf you have impatiens or fushia. You might need to treat the pots with nematods or the pesticide that kills the larvae or you wont enjoy your labour. They also love my primulas. They destroyed entire massive jade plant and they will attack anything succilent with thick stems or thick rybozomes or roots. I have never seen them attack colleus so i did the very big mistake to transfer the colleus with some dirts attached to overwinter. The larvae ate the stem and all plants but one died. It is the number one most destructive pest in my garden. It will eat anything if hungry but it has it favourites and impetients are number one snack for the larvae. For people looking to multiply them they root very easy from cuttings. I have broken a branch by mistake and just put it in the soil without dome or rooting hormone and it took root.
