How to sow seeds and grow your own food.
Are you trying to grow your own plants and food from seed to save money? In reality many plants are actually better to be grown by seed rather than purchasing an established plant. In this re-upload of a video I posted back in October, I wanted to share my top ten tips which I hope will really boost the success of your seed growing!

    Hi Mate From Australia I started with One bunch and now have four tubs of Rau Ram( Vietnamese Coriander) it’s became an addiction 🤣🤣🤣when one stalk has roots I cut it and start a new tub. I usually take a few leaves and a few leaves of my spearmint and drink it as a tea. My digestive system has improved substantially

    OMGgggg... I didn't learn ANYTHING from this video except the fact that you're extremely passionate and in LOOOOOOOVE with the Cola plant to a really disturbing degree. Nothing... no tips, no advice, only I love it, I'm crazy about it, yadda, yadda, yadda. I'll search elsewhere for true HELPFUL INFORMATION about this plant, that will help me learn how to care for it and use it in my kitchen and/or elsewhere. What a waste of time, I'll never get back. Sheesh! 👎👎👎

    Great video. I have struggled with rosemary this year. Keeping getting little white marks all over the leaves. Tried neem oil and a fungicide, but nothing seems to help.

    Thank you from Australia. I substituted Tarragon with something else yesterday as it’s hard to source & not available in supermarkets .. rarely anyway. I went to a green grocer today not in my neighbourhood and they were selling bunches of Tarragon for $7. Hence how I came to this video. 😂 A summer project maybe.

    The reason you get asked this a lot is because NOBODY answers the question! Everyone says "regularly".. Now, one a day is regular isn't it? Or once a week? I'd call that regular... Once an hour is also quite regular too! So frustrating.

    Thank you sir! I just started my first gardening project this year with herbs and it included purple sage. I have been watering it, but I haven’t been sure what to do with it for a while. Now I know I need to keep pruning it to keep fresh. It looks like some of the leaves have black circles and holes which seems to indicate it’s dying or not getting enough nutrients. I am learning a lot. Thank you again for this video.

    Weird question: Is there a variety of mint that has no mint flavour or any strong flavour? It would be great to have a mild lettuce-flavoured mint growing like crazy that I could use for the base of a salad!

    Greetings from “sunny” Northants, UK. Thanks for an informative and enjoyable video. Like you, I enjoy growing and using herbs and found ginger rosemary in a local garden centre for the first time last week. Before then I didn’t know it existed, but now I’m in love with the gingery rosemary smell. I’m looking forward to using it fairly soon but first I have to wait for my plant to grow a bit - it was pretty small when I bought it. In the meantime, thanks again for the video. Liked and subbed.
