I find it much easier to just throw the seeds into a jar with a small amount of water and a loose fitted lid, laid on its side for a few days to start the germination process. Once the seeds sprout and you can see roots and the first leaves starting, just gently take them one by one and transplant into pots. This way every plant you plant is a guaranteed germination and no wasting time and watering on stuff that doesnt germinate and no thinning later.

@malefetsanekoalane4549 8 ай бұрын

... and no thinning later. Thanks. I've been planting my seeds in a row to solve the thinning problem. Your method goes much further in that you plant only guaranteed successes. Thanks from Johannesburg.

if you add some oxygen peroxyde in the water during the first step of germination you will speed up the process and be able to transplant into pots earlier .

Dogs do love fruits and veggies. Just like I do! Thanks to you, for sharing your enthusiasm and wisdom!

Your video just popped up first here, so I watched it, and this was great! I've been growing my own, gardening for nearly 50 years. I started as a teenager, digging a new flower and veggie garden for my Mom. Once I reached 20 I got into studying, big time, about horticulture... whatever books, etc I was able to get my hands on. I really commend you on doing a fabulous job, getting as many details as possible about seed starting into a short video ! People who are just beginning to grow from scratch really need to know these details, as it saves a LOT of trial and error, money, and heartache.... having done all the prep, planting, and everything that goes into it...only to have their hopes of something beautiful happen as the result of all they put into it, as I had experienced many, many times when starting out. So, again: GREAT JOB !!

Your videos make me feel happy. I love watching your little dog eat vegetables. I watch the news, get depressed. Then watch james and tuck run around the food garden to cancel out the neg vibes. I guess you were the biggest influence for me to start my fruit trees and start our vegetable garden. My business is with a lot of NFL teams but I could care less about sports. I would be much more excited to meet James and Tuck.

Best video on the subject I have ever seen! The only thing I do differently ..is that I loosely over fill the plug trays which are in a larger tray to catch the overfill... I quickly level them off with a wide plastic trowel typically used for drywall. Then I give the tray one quick drop which gives me about 3/8th's of an inch to drop the seed which I then lightly cover with soil again and level off again. Works well and is quick.

I ALWAYS sift any mix purchased from store. Just as you said, there's sticks in it and I've also found small rocks and bits of black plastic and chopped up container tags. Producers sift their products but stuff still gets through. Gunk like that will prevent seed germination, just like you said. I take out the debris and like you I use the sifted sticks around my plants as mulch. Sometimes I use it on the bottom of pots for drainage. You've learned a lot during your last ten years of seed starting. I'm so happy you're sharing your knowledge.

I am so ready for spring that I feel like an almost will warmer weather is by starting my plants indoors... And I almost always regret it because they get long and spindly And absolutely ridiculous to try to maneuver. I will definitely be trying this method with my tomatoes this year...

I usually start a container garden on my balcony in late spring. But this year I tried gardening indoors in the dead of winter with a couple of grow lights. I feel as you do about a responsibility to grow food with all that's going on. Well, it worked! I have more food than I can eat or store. So I'm sharing with the other pensioner neighbours!

I needed to hear the last part about the timing of your tomato seedlings. That was really helpful. I've struggled with leggy tomato starts in the past and I also noticed that they don't do much in the ground when I plant them early. Your way of doing it takes out the stress of it.

Thanks, James. This is the first video of yours I've watched and I really learned something here. And thank you, Tuck for your tireless contributions. I've never seen a dog enjoy kale so much, it must be good stuff!

Thanks so much! I’d never thought of sifting my potting soil before! And the proper timing really makes sense to me now. I was really trying to get my garden in the ground as soon as my last frost date but even after my last frost date, things have still been too cold for anything to thrive. It’s just now starting to warm up and I’m having to do a lot of replanting of things that just didn’t do well in the colder weather.

I noticed this one year when I bought tomato and pepper plants from the local garden center. They were nice looking in the store, makes me want to start off my garden. But when I got them to my garden, they didn't take off for several more weeks. They looked like they were the same size all that time. I finally figured out that the stores may be selling them early on but it doesn't mean it's actually the right time for them to be growing in my local area. So up top, they didn't do much, but down below, their roots were still doing OK and continuing to get bigger..

I moved to Florida in April so I lost track of you. You are still great, and your knowledge just keeps getting stronger. Still loving you, your style and especially your enthusiasm. Trying my hand at a small garden in a few weeks, Z9A is much different than NY Zone 5B! A few toms, squash, cucs and some herbs. I havevto keep some time and space for my flowers. Sunshine here is a welcome change and the long growing season has my heart. I do see shade cloth is in my future. I'm hoping for the best. Kisses to Tuck. Love that guy. Wish my guy liked veggies. Can't get him to eat anything but chicken with a little rice. Not even an apple! Stay well.
