Thank you for all these videos! I love that you live in relatable climate and not in some tropical paradise hahah, it's really useful for us Northern mortals to watch:)

I would love to see more videos of you just simply planting out your young seedlings into your garden. ... it’s so relaxing.

Next year I'm building seedling carts! I'm going to build them so all I have to do is roll them in and out of my heated garage for longer spells each day. I will hang my grow lights from the ceiling and that way I can just slide them in and out without having to disassemble anything. I'm sick of spending hours a day shuffling plants in and out and chasing my escape artist cat that thinks it's great fun to squirt out each time I have a hand full of seedlings 🙄 I'm also going to install poly tunnels on each cart so I can utilize the sun more before my starts are fully hardened off. They can be taken on and off with very little effort and I can shut my grow lights off more often.

you had me at lazy ahahha. My snow is finally melting off the containers out back and I need to get my greens out into the garden but they're so used to the warm temps...this is perfect.

Luke, can you please do a complete growing guide on blueberries?

That's exactly how we do it here in Montana as well. Wanted to let you know I'm very happy with my order of seeds from you. Germination has been about 95 percent with what I have planted so far, so a good rate I believe. Thank you for the quickness of shipping as well!

i found some old pea seeds from ten years ago and tried them out. most of the sprouted a couple weeks ago. Im going to try putting them outside this weekend :)

Appreciate you videoing this in the rain for us! You're such a good friend to us subbies - take care!

I love how you can dig a planting hole with only your fingers (even freezing fingers). Shows how wonderful your soil can be with lots of compost.

I live up north in grayling MI and in the ausable valley it Frost’s so often that the challenge of growing makes a lot of people not even try to garden anymore lol

It’s so strange watching you freezing out there trying to get peas in while I’m already at the point where my cucumbers wilt from the heat every afternoon. Here in Central Texas, I don’t want to be outside much past noon, because we’re in the upper 80’s after lunch.

Luke, l am so excited to have found your channel! I live in Michigan also and I was experiencing the same weather as you. This means that your videos pertain to me. I am a horrible gardener, but your channel has gotten me excited about gardening again. Thank you..

I start almost everything inside, depends where you live ! I have a short season so I have to, it gives you 4-8 weeks head start. Beets love to be clumped in 3’s, no need for the inch in between....just saves planting time, then you can twist out one in each clump for early harvest. Charles Dowding, who lives in England shows how to start most everything except carrots inside. Starting seeds indoors is the way to go....no rotting seeds, no pests eating your seeds and every seed, even cool weather crops like to germinate in warmth. I just hate hearing gardeners being discouraged to start seeds indoors.

Gardening is a learning journey. In a year I learned a ton, this year I have already learned a lot. What did I learn? Not to start seeds out to early. I fell into the trap of a warming trend in early February, thinking it would be an early spring, nope. In 5b it turned cold after that, and last week we had the last gasp of winter with snow. Next year I wont start as early, and I will have smaller plants. This year I have 1 foot tall tomato plants that had to be up potted 3 times. Since my seed starting setup is in the basement its 12 steps up to the back door carrying boxes of plants to be hardened off. 6 trips up and down every day to bring them out, then the same number to bring them in. Each step is cementing in my brain dont do this again! Let them stay small so its only 2 or 3 trips.

Such a joy to watch. Really seems like a good guy. I've been gardening for only four years this being the fourth. Learning a whole new way of living and eating. Thanks for you videos bro.

Just got my first garden going thanks to you! You’re my go to for gardening. I planted my lettuce high density and I’m super excited about them thank you

Look at you,Cattle panel trellising!😍 Lol I love that you show when you're just as impatient as the rest of us, (starting those peas indoors)🤣💗 You've had such impressive gardening results over the years, this proves you're definitely human. 🦸‍♂️ Not just superhuman gardening hybrid man,or something.😂 As always,I love your channel. 😄

Hey there Luke! I have always planted my perennials in the rain and had 100% success. I also try to plan all of my other planting the late afternoon or evening before a rain. It makes for very happy plants 😊

We planted a blackberry bush four years ago and it didn't do anything for that whole time. This spring, it has some leaves on it and signs of growth! Covered it with chicken wire to keep out the deer. Hope somewhere in the future we get blackberries. Blackberry pie yummo!😊🥧

These early spring videos are so helpful for me! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us!!

I don't have the article right now, but playing in the dirt can help people that deal with depression and anxiety... it really calms me and makes me so happy to have me hands in the Earth and to get something back that I can eat is so very gratifying. I'm in zone 7-7a and I started an area in my garden under plastic the beginning of March by just mixing some seeds and throwing them over the dirt and just waiting for them to grow. I now have many greens to harvest and roots crops too. I have several types of carrots, radishes, turnips, cabbages, spinach, kale, Swiss chard, upland cress, sorrel, MACHE, beets, and many lettuces, mustards and arugula.... which I have harvested twice from. Also, in another area I have green beans and sugar snap peas growing. Everything is now under row covers and growing great... happy growing.

It took me three hours today to drag everything out, fertilize, and drag them all back in. Can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow...*eye roll*

I just got a job at the home depot today in the gardening department and I'm so glad I've been watching your videos for so long! Thanks for all the great knowledge that is worth so much and someday I will have to do something for you when I can to return the favor! Thanks Luke!

I'm in Chandler ,AZ and this weekend (25th April) we are going to have our first 100 degree farenheit of the year on Saturday, Sunday 105 😬 and over 100 for the following 7 days. I'll be putting up my shade cloth to protect my warm weather plants, peppers, tomatoes etc.

I love your videos. They are very informative and have inspired me to start a victory garden. Thanks Luke.

I didn't know you could start beets and transplant them. Thanks for that tidbit of info. I like your channel and content very helpful to this newbie gardener!

5:18 I usually plant my peas in cardboard paper towel tubes cut in half or toilet paper tubes. Then I plant the whole thing in the ground. So even if I take a little longer than intended to plant my peas, it's pretty easy getting them in the ground.

I could almost feel the cold as you were planting...almost. Our amazingly cool spring lasted until yesterday when the thermometer hit the century mark for the first time this year. And this is how it will pretty much be every day now through the summer. So I’m enjoying the last bits of my spring garden before the heat makes most things go dormant. As with every season, though, there is always something that shines, and for me summer usually means artichokes that seem to thrive in our hot desert climate. Enjoy your spring!

My local Dollarama sells winter garden gloves -- they are super-thick knit fleece, and have the palms & fingers dipped in neoprene. I've been out planting fall bulbs & doing yard cleanup in 0C (32F) with high winds & sleeting/snow/rain, and my hands, even when the gloves hands get wet, were toasty warm! I LOVE them!

My lovely wife just ordered me a really nice walk in greenhouse so this should help a lot with seeding/ seedlings and plants - hopefully no need of hardening off! 😉🤞

We've had a crazily warm April here in the UK. I've already had my cool wearhers in for a month and have my tomatoes, peppers and cukes in the ground from yesterday 😮

Here in SoCal we are already in 90 degree weather. Perfect for all my squash and tomatoes. BTW just placed my first order of TrifectaPlus, hoping to give it a try soon. Thanks.

You are right about the therapy that comes with getting into dirt and touching plants… We have some leafy greens to put in our garden and this video has prompted me to do something about them now! Thanks for the great video friend

Once agaiin ! Right on time Luke !!! I sooo needed to know this . Thank you !😄

Just built my first raised garden and have found the videos very helpful. Will be planting here in Wisconsin this weekend.

Can't wait to see how you harden off tomatoes and peppers!

Love watching your videos!! 💖

Id love to see a full tour of All your gardens and grows indoors and out

Love all your videos, you do a great job with them!

I just got the gardening bug with these stay at home orders, so happy I stumbled onto your channel! Hopefully my garden is as successful as yours, looks like we're in the same climate.

I've done it this way for the past 3 years now and I've had much success. I try to keep them in a shady area for a few days before I put them out into the sun.

I have always put my plants out in a shaded area for 2 weeks. It works for me

Very useful tip on growing three beetroot plants together then guiding each plant outwards. I am doing this in autumn here in Melbourne Australia where the weather is ideal for planting. Once the weather turns cold and plants stop growing I am harvesting some for salad leaves and will try to overwinter the rest.

Every year I plant my garden and start my seedlings too early. We had a week of really nice weather, the frogs were singing, even saw some mosquitoes and though, Yes! Spring is here! Then it snowed for a month... When will I learn lol

I’d love a video on how to get my romaine lettuces as crunchy and thick as in the stores.

It works for me. I have done this. Thanks for sharing. !

I'd like to see some experiments about plant association ! I remember you did an experiment last Fall (I think) by spreading a whole bunch of seeds to test if plants could live in a crowded environment...It made me think a lot (like a loooot) and I'm now wondering how close the plants should be in order to benefit from a plant friend. We see those companion planting tables everywhere but it never says how close the plants should be in order to benefit from it! So this spring, I'll be planting closer than ever but It'd be nice to see someone like you experiment different distances or different companion planting...

Really happy with the seed order we got from you!. Broccolini is sprouting already!

I love your channel and your products! Thank you for your hard work, your information, and your quality products. So glad you ship out of state! I wish I remember which KZfaq channel mentioned you that brought me here... thanks to them, too!

Thank you for making this video!

Thank you Luke. Love your videos.

I love planting videos! Ty!

Always good information thank you.

your plants look really nice I hope they do well I was able to get my cool weather crops out In the garden around the end of march anyway I would like to see some videos with you planting and trellising your summer crops

I am going to try the thing with the beets this fall. Very interesting!

I'd love to see when you plant your lettuce starts outside.

I love watching your videos!

Just a note to tell you thank you, I've had excellent germination with the seeds I bought from you, both inside and outside. First year for Tri-Fecta, will be interested in seeing the results. We seem to be having an early spring, usually wait for Mother's Day to get my tomatoes out but may be an a bit sooner this year. No frost for two weeks and a great 10 day forecast. Excited for the (new for me) Orange Roussollini tomato.

wow I love gardening, we just made our first raised bed and planting some radishes

Just found your channel and I can tell I am going to love it! Thanks for the advice on the early veggies. I start mine in our garage so they don’t have any time in the nice “climate control” that many do, and was wondering if I needed to go to all the trouble of the traditional hardening off. See ya, I’m heading outside to plant now😊

I’m doing this right now. Thanks.

Nicely done. So I find myself amending soil and fertilizing and pouring a little water in each hole at the time of planting. I realize its just about enjoying ourselves, and you on the other hand made it easier by just going straight in. Can you discuss your timelines for amendment, fertilizing and how you prefer watering in new plants? Always enjoy your content. Be well

Please do an update on the Giant Crimson Tomato and when they will be available.

Hey Luke thanks for all the inspirational content! I'd really love to see some info about your fruit trees and berries are doing and if you're fertilizing any of that?

Great video! 🌱

I realized my front porch is perfect for hardening off seedlings. It's full sun until about 1PM and then is full shade. I've been leaving my starts out there and they're doing great! The mailman might be a little annoyed with having to sidestep a million plants, though. I just got my peas in the ground yesterday. Today I'm doing beans and potatoes, and this weekend I'll get my broccoli out (it's still pretty small).

I direct sowed my MIgardener mammoth snow peas and sugar snap; but I’m glad I get to see the risks on how to transplant the peas. Thanks for sharing

I really enjoy your informative videos. I value the information even though I live in the desert of southern New Mexico. We're already experiencing temperatures in the upper 80's and 90's are expected next week. We have little to no precipitation until mid summer. It may be challenging but still rewarding.

Wow thanks men for vídeo nice live

I live in apartments in Webster, TX. Thankfully I have a small patch on the corner of our back porch that I've been growing spearmint and lavender in.

love watching your video from Algeria

I’m in zone 7b, in New York and I’m ready to put in some cold hardy palm trees to compliment my garden

I am counting the hours until I can plant! I've got a grow room full.

I’ll be moving the tomatoes outside Saturday and the peppers in a couple of weeks. Can’t wait!

I totally goofed this process last week. All my seedlings bit the dust.

Your soil is amazing

ive just discovered compressed peat pellets ... ive been gardening for 25 years ( well mostly cannabis) but these things are gold talk about being a lazy gardener :)

I have been an amateur Garden since I was a kid. It's so nice to learn from you some of the things that I never thought about. I've started some seedlings inside and in planning my raised bed plants how far apart should Tomatoes go to get the maximum tomatoes to the minimum amount of space that I've got?

Please don't forget the warm loving plants like tomato video. Thank you so much!!!

Four weeks ago I plant carrot seeds but nothing has appeared yet. I live in melbourne sometimes its cold somtimes its hot. What do i do. good job .. keep it up

Brilliant way to plant beet starts!

10:03 they just sprouted 3-4 days ago?! Mine have sprouted 2 weeks ago but they are still not as large... I wonder what I'm doing wrong😰

I Have peas and roots I direct planted in March doing great direct sowed more roots and some cabbage broccoli and cauliflower plants 3 days ago and seeds have already germinated.

I'm going to try that method with beets. I have flats ready that need to be thinned but I guess I don't have to with you method. Would love to see the process for the warm weather crops too. Thanks!

I'm following your instructions & vids. I do have one question though, do you fertilize your seedlings & if you do what do you use, how much per cell & how often?

Well Phoenix here, got our first tomatoes and zucchinis in. Hits 100 plus tomorrow so we will see how it goes.

He's like the Mr. Rogers of gardening

Thanks!!! 😁

Hi Luke, love your videos!!! Can u tell me what size your raised gardens are?

I have to plant inside because late February early march I have major withdrawls from little green things.

Hello everyone. Video is so good to see

Thank you, thank you, thank you. What do you do for the freezing nights? I'm sure there will be some creeping in now and again. Thanks.

What a great idea. I can even put my tomato plants out on my porch bc it doesn't get any sun until around 5pm.

I experimented with a jury-rigged cold frame. Put a tray of small melon starts in it. Now the leaves are curling under and one of them looks dead. Not sure if this is from getting too cold--it was upper 50's outside--or too hot--floor of set up got to 100 briefly--or too sunny--partly cloudy day and frame was covered with a double layer of plastic.

I think brassicas are going to go to seed quickly now that the South is reaching 70-80 degree temps. Many years we sort of just skip spring, and go cold to hot almost immediately. Strange to hear you sniffling and saying you're cold here at end of April. Our frosts end in mid-March zone 8A Started indoor tomatoes late for my father. About 30-40 of them. In tall cells made for tree saplings, thinking it was more than enough room. The shutdown/virus has prevented getting them to him 3 hours away. Those are getting rootbound and require constant water/feeding. Strange year for gardening, but glad to have it.

What crops have small root systems or which do best in containers. Which crops do not do well in containers.

I didn’t catch how you transplanted the carrots.. Is that the crop that you said didn’t have much root development yet? I’m transplanting carrots into my fall garden shortly.. What should I look for to know that they’re ready to be transplanted? Thanks!

I’d love a complete long term growing guide on June bearing strawberries. Like how to keep your patch producing year to year, when/how to fertilize. At what point do you rip it out completely? Should you pick the berries the first year you plant bare root plants, or pinch off the flower? I’m in Michigan too and putting new bare roots in a raised garden bed this year.

Got my tomatoes set out this week as we should have had our last frost last Saturday, which was really about 10 days later than normal.

I am wondering how your cold frame is doing and if you are using it this spring.
