Just FYI for anyone in a humid climate… don’t stash dirty/wet gloves in a drawer because they’ll mildew. I keep an open basket and toss my gloves in there. For gloves that can’t be washed, I ran a ribbon across the top of my door and use clothes pins to clip the gloves so they can dry out. I also hang any solo gloves until I can find their mate. Works great.

@soundsofsilence5471 Жыл бұрын

Hello lovely Becky. If I may, as a recent graduate in horticulture studies I know and value the importance of a well organized workspace. I was thinking the whole way through and was glad that you asked at the end about your heating mats. Your work bench is ideal for potting/re potting and tray preparation. You would not want to reach for things over your heating trays and drop them on top of your seedlings. On this table you have access to all your supplies, your handy shelves and drawers at an arm's reach, etc. However, if you end up putting your heating mats on a table away from the walls, make sure to cover your wires for the mats with tape or another piece of carpet. Seems like the center of your room would get more natural sunlight than your work bench too. Anywho...you've sooo got this! Looking forward to living vicariously through you from my 7th floor apartment. I do have a lushiously overflowing balcony of plants but still..lol. xo

FYI, Home Depot has a medium mixing tub in their concrete section which is a more comfortable height to use as a potting tub rather than the tall tub you have . The tubs are just $7.78 each and very heavy duty. I suggest getting two. They stack easily. Yes to the extra table, especially to start. If you plug your heat mats in to warm, they flatten easily. I roll mine when not in use, and they flatten very quickly when warmed up.

I'd keep your seeds stored in the basement, as you had them before. Cool and dark. Waaaaay too much natural sunshine, clear storage boxes, and I'm assuming the room isn't air conditioned.

@catmintable Жыл бұрын

Those plug-ins concern me a bit for safety, so I'm just going to say: The surge protectors almost always have a hole in the back for a screw mount. You could put them on the wall, even vertically, and then plug the lights into them there. I think there is at least a slight to good chance of soil and/or water getting into the plugs if they lay on the shelves. Once the seeds are up, the temperature is even better a bit cool because otherwise the plants are going to try to grow aggressively which may not be best for the outside world they are going to be placed in to.

My grandparents had similar gardening issues. They kept a daily calendar with every weather details they could including when shade would arrive and leave different areas of the garden year round. Then they would compare their calendars with official farming almanacs. It took them over five years of record keeping to develop a reliable growing and weather pattern for their area. They still used official almanacs even after they established their own weather history for their garden. They had a beautiful and bountiful garden and orchard. Hope this detail is helpful.

Hi Becky! Bringing in another table is a better idea, although I think you should put the heat mats on the new table and use the big black one for potting etc., because it has drawers, you can put the potting tools in the drawers, and put them away. Lovely use of the space! 😍 (And if you don't need the wood shelf on the left side-between the growlight shelf and the lamp less shelf, you should put it somewhere else, and the metal shelf beside the lamp one, so it has more light. Just a suggestion. 😉)

One vlogger quit entirely, another left their community garden management position and is taking a year off - who knows if they'll come back. 😥 I initially found you by searching for 'vegetable gardening 8b' because I thought if I could find someone gardening in a similar area/climate I'd have an easier time following along and planting.

Hi Becky, do you ever watch Cog Hill Family Farm? The family has just spent the last year with the purchase of a 40 acre plot of land and have built a new home. They are a family of three, they want to grow to sustain their fsmily. They live in Alabama and Jason has just started about 2 weeks sgo setting his seeds and he tells you everything he uses and why...he's very thorough. They have many animals. A lot of chickens, A pet cow, A pet emu, goats, A steer, all pets and some peacocks, ducks and geese. I think you might enjoy his videos.

Be careful, not supposed to plug a power strip into another power strip. Might be better to purchase a second timer and use that other wall outlet for second shelf

Becky, I don't know how you do it! You accomplish so much in so little time! I watch every one of your videos and I'm blown away! Because of your passions, you've made me passionate about gardening and cooking! I'm in Zone 7b on Long Island, NY, and started some seedlings already. I didn't think they'd germinate so quickly, so I have to keep them alive until April! Ugh! In this, my 4th year of gardening, we've decided to play. We'll grow the things we love each year, and just try a whole bunch of things we've never grown. I'm very limited on my grow space - I have 4 - 4'×4' beds, an inground strawberry patch, and I just got a Green Stalk Vertical Garden which will allow me a maximum of 30 plants to grow. I started my ground cherries inside because of you. So much fun! I also woke up early this morning and prepared 4 dishes. I don't have freezer or fridge room, so I just cook for as much space as I have. You've made me believe I can do it! And I'm 60! I've got so much more to learn from you. Thank you so much!
