My husband and I just started our microgreen journey today and you popped up on my fyp!! How divine! Thanks you for sharing with us ❤

Your peas are prominently plump. Sunflowers are substantially stout. Nice job.

Growing microgreens has been a game-changer in this house! Do you grow microgreens? If so, what are your favorites? If not, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? 🌱 Since this is a lengthy one, here's a timestamp guide if you want to skip around, pick up where you left off, or check back again later: 00:00 Materials 02:35 Sowing Microgreens (Arugula, Radish, Broccoli) 07:46 Sowing Shoots (Pea, Sunflower) 13:33 Progress Checks 38:08 Harvest (Radish) 41:07 Harvest (Broccoli & Arugula) 50:40 Harvest (Pea Shoots) 52:53 Harvest (Sunflower Shoots) HAPPY GROWING!

Apparently youtube pushes videos that are at least 10 mins long.

Good video but you do not need to keep zooming throughout.

February is here! What's on YOUR gardening checklist?

Thanks for the advice! I want to start a garden this year, but only have my apartments balcony to work with.

Thank you sir

I never trust Big Seed.

What myths are you guilty of believing? I’ll go first: ALL of them!

I enjoyed your video, and I learn a lot and benefit a lot from watching your videos, I will wait for your next videos. that's why I love your content.

Like and subscribed for not on the content but for being outside while doing it. That commitment made my subscribe decision easy.

Can I suggest also trying dahlias, rudbeckia and treasure flowers? I love them for the same reasons I love zinnias ❤️

Interesting video. Beware that the compostable pots don’t just breakdown with water… lots of UA-cam videos (and in my own experience) show that plant roots can hit them before they have broken down in the soil and can negatively affect root growth. They are better than plastic but I’d encourage you to cut the plant out of the pot and just plant that.

As a new gardener here scared of my black thumb…your teaching is informative, comforting and encouraging! Thank you!

Hello from S Chicago, where we're 6a-ish! It would be wonderful to see this kind of video throughout the year, for a 'calendar of gardening' of sorts!!

NW of Chicago is now 6a. Winter sowing should start now for certain plants ☺️

hi 🤗 great seed and supplies haul. tfs

i have johnson grass and it gets in the corner of my beds and is hard to get rid of so im gonna use corn meal and use beans to keep it out of the corner of my beds. im mostly an herb farmer, i use my herbs to make spice blends that are salt free and sell them at fairs and farmers markets

Seed starting season is upon us! When are YOU starting your seeds? 🌱

So excited for you I went through to order seeds, mind you we live in the city? 2 lots You would have thought it was Christmas. Now I need to :weed" out my list .

Artichokes also make an amazing "dried flower" with beautiful blue and cream colors that exploded if you just let them grow. I have artichoke plants that are 5 yrs old. But I'm in Zone 8....

try the violina rugosa butternut squash. never liked butternut until i grew this one. it's smooth, rich, dense and moist. it's delicious. imo, regular butternut squash is a bit grainy and bland.

I’m super excited for my 2025 garden!! I’m looking forward to lots of okra !!!

Do micro greens have as much nutrients as waiting for the full vegetable?

Apologies for the sound issues in some spots; I shot this in one long take and apparently my new lav mic was acting up (and I wasn't going to reshoot and pretend it was the initial unboxing). I hope it's not too distracting - THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! What new things are YOU looking forward to growing in 2025? When are you starting your seeds? Let us know below! 🌱

Nice

When are you starting your seeds for next season?

Good info. I never understood why the water didn't soak in.

Can you pee on the leaves and / or add coffee grounds to speed things up? Or is this basically turning the leaf pile into compost instead of leaf mould?

Love it. Thanks for sharing

I'm trying out that celery idea.

Thank you for watching! I highly recommend growing asparagus in your garden! For those of you who do, what timing works best for you when it comes to cutting things back?

well, I discovered that my plants were pretty good at reseeding themselves for the following year without any help from me at all :) problem was, I had no idea what was growing! So I used method #2 with great results. As for favorites, I usually just picked the varieties that developed well and tasted best in any given year! Repeat offenders were green zebra, any variety of black, jersey devil and a yellow oxheart that I am pretty sure was pineapple? Whatever it was, the fruits were few but enormous and so delicious it was always worth growing them.

Last year I paced a whole tomato in a container on top of my fridge the following spring I took it out and crumbled it all into the garden and am now growing all the plants needed .......yay

Can you share a link to where you purchased these beds? This is the perfect size for our garden.

What’s your go-to seed saving method and what tomato varieties are your favorites to save every year?

Great idea using the cardboard

good ideas ty

Last Year, we filled 130 of those Houston composting bags. This year, I am going to shred it and compost it. We are already doing bokashi and other items in the garden. Thank you for the video.

What is your opinion on adding a ton of coffee grounds to the pile?

I do the coner of yard because it’s easier 😅

But they do have a lot of nutrients. If you add the green you will have leaf mold by spring. I like leaves and have had great success with this is to add dairy or horse quality premium alfalfa hay. Not other types of hay because you will have decades of weeds. But also alfalfa is a legume and it provides lots of nutrients particularly calcium. Don’t let anyone talk you into a bale of brown whatever that’s been rained on or is moldy, it should smell sweet and clean. And those tiny green leaves easily fall out of the bale, I suggest you bring a bucket and get all you can up, they are gold! Also bring a tarp to lay the bale on and to wrap it up so they don’t blow away. Now you may say it’s dusty but those leaves break down. You want every bit of the green and its nutrients to go into the leaves and in your garden. I used to take each flake of hay which with alfalfa is crumbly and tap it over a piece of paper or large tub to get some of the leaves out and feed it in the older horse’s feed buckets or put in their mash for those with no teeth. You can’t keep them fat and sassy that way. They get the flakes too but the more of the flakes you can keep from getting lost in the shavings in the stall bottom, the better. They will still have plenty in the flakes they get and they sorta of wallow the stems around in their mouth to get the nutrients out. It will be in flakes but depending on the baling equipment may be short strands and crumbly. Horses and cows love it and the stems taste sweet too. At the barn we always put a tarp down to put 50-52 stacked bales in the truck bed. And as we pull the bales off we just kept rolling the tarp up to save the debris little tiny leaves and broken down pieces. When I say tiny, I do mean tiny, not like a maple or oak leaf at all. You can also just put everything into giant green lawn bags and poke holes in the bag. Just as he said, but I find the large lawn bags to work best and they are reusable. The big thing is you don’t want leaves from diseased trees. It will carry over to the leaf mold or in my case a leaf and alfalfa mold. You really want green unless you want to wait forever. The more you have in a bag, stuffed full and keep adding to it as it breaks down for a couple months, the hotter it will be and help kill weed seeds, etc. One tip on alfalfa bales you get from your local farm store like Southern States or Tractor Supply. They carry Stanlee Hay, they usually have the 50 lb green bag with a handle for like $25-26 dollars. You use what you want and then put it in the shed for next time. The nice thing though it is about double the amount you should pay for a bale, is all the debris and leaves stays in the bag so you can easily carry it in your car, truck or back seat. One caution - always ask the manager to open it for you, they use to have zippers but not sure now. Everyone cuts cost🤷🏻‍♀️ But you want to make sure it’s green and full of leaves and the stems should be green too. This is where you get all those nutrients to go in your raised beds, compost, etc. if it’s got rained on, or is old and it’s brown those nutrients have been lost to ground not yours. Hope that makes sense. If they don’t have bright green bales with lots of little tiny green leaves, look to your local or state hay auction but check ahead to make sure they have small horse bales 50-60 lbs. and you want premium high testing horse alfalfa. Call your local state agricultural consumer services or maybe your county extension service (they will know who the horse 4-H clubs are that might know of a source. As a horse person I can always find alfalfa. It may take you a little more time depending on your state and county. One other tip, if you can find someone who raises rabbits, their manure pellets are terrific to put on the garden come spring about 6” from the stems of the plants. Or you can mix some with the leaves, and alfalfa. You will have a terrific garden. Also I like to cover the ground or raised bed with clover seed in early fall and let it grow. Clover is also a legume and adds natural nitrogen, it like alfalfa being a legume fixes nitrogen. I use clover as a ground cover and a cover crop that you work in with a spake fork or hoe.

If you add human urine to your leaf pile it will help break it down faster.

Over the past 5 years I have not raked my lawn at all. I've used my self mulching lawn mower to pick them up. I then put them in my wife's gardens. My wife is hooked on it and it is very easy to do even on a windy day. Not sure about leaf mold but the leaves are almost entirely gone by spring.
