1:08 Benefits of Pelleted Seed
The very first thing I want to clear up is that pelleted seed is not the same as treated seed. Pelleted seeds are covered with organic clay so they're larger (easier to see and handle) and retain moisture better.
The larger size of the seed is especially great because you don't need to thin anymore! People generally just scatter a bunch of carrot seeds and then thin out their plants after germination. With these, you can be much more intentional in the same way you are with larger seeds. This also makes things a lot more fun & easy for kids too!
The white color of the clay makes it so much easier to see where your seeds are. Instead of getting lost in the soil, you can easily find what you've planted so you don't lose track.
All of this means you're going to have better spacing with your carrots and save time (and heartbreak) by not having to thin. You can also buy exactly what you need.

4:07 Our Carrots & Planting Pelleted Seeds
This whole area was planted using pelleted seeds. We've harvested a ton already, but we still have quite a few growing. We have great spacing, and the plants are thriving.
So let's look at actually planting some!
This row has been prepped and is ready to go. I also have already sifted some soil to go down first and then again later. Because they're large, I can quickly and easily grab them (even when I drop them) and put them exactly where I should.
I top things off with some finely sifted soil, and that's it! I'll turn on my irrigation and let it do its thing. I should have seedlings in 1-2 weeks!
Carrots are notorious for being especially tricky, so I really love having them. I also have cauliflower seeds here. The Amazing variety is expensive, so that's why they're a great option for pelleted seeds.
8:07 HARVEST
These Romance carrots are looking fantastic! I've been harvesting carrots nonstop for weeks and weeks now, and I can't wait to hear how your next crop of carrots goes.

#Gardening - Навчання та стиль
I'm not in California but have been gardening in South Florida for the past 3 years or so. I love your videos because a lot of our planting times are similar. Plus I'm always on the lookout for heat-tolerant varieties. Attempting carrots again this year! Have had luck with almost everything else, but haven't gotten a lot of carrots to germinate.. yet!
This is your season to get them!
I love pelleted carrot seed and seed tape for carrots! There's a long standing family joke about carrots being the one thing I always struggle with while the rest of my garden is booming. However when I use pelleted seed or seed tape, my success rate goes way up.
One other thing I've noticed: the pelleted seed seems to have a much longer shelf life.
I love your expressions and descriptions of how terrible thinning is. That is exactly how I feel😂
Been following from FL for quite a while now 😊 Your tips have helped us adjust our planting times (since we're flipped from most of the country growing seasons 😉).
The kids help us tend to our growing gardens- these would be an amazing addition to our Fall crops! 😍
That’s really great no more seed waste. Also not having to worry about thinning out plants.
I love summer gardening, but enjoy fall gardening so much more. Mainly because it's not so hot when in the garden. I have my starts going and hopefully it's a good season. Love your videos...
Trying to start a school garden in San Diego would love to use these with the children 🤩
Wow, I won’t have to wear my reading glasses to plant carrots. BTW, San Diego Seed Company is great since it’s in Zone 10 and understands our challenges in our increasingly crazy climate.
Thanks for being a part of this journey :)
Oh man! I hate wearing my glasses in the garden because with the heat they keep slipping off my nose! But I need to be able to see those tiny seeds! Pelleted seed may just be the solution as I'll be able to see them easily without glasses! Thanks Brigette! Love gardening in zone 10a with you!
Thank you for the great demonstration; your showing the actual spacing of the pelleted carrot seeds really helped me. I look forward to planting my fall garden soon. We are expecting another heat wave this weekend, so I will start planting after the high temperatures recede.🌱
Just when we thought it was over! Yeesh
Those pelleted seeds look like they would be so easy to handle! What a great idea!
In the words of Bugs Bunny "WHATS UP DOC" 🥕 🥕 🥕 🥕
I love your enthusiasm, it motivates me to keeps me gardening through my burn out feelings heheheh my babies would love carrots!! Thank you Brigette'
Appreciate you listing out the difference between pelleted seeds. It makes more sense to purchase them.
My carrot success has been hit or miss. Need to try this with the California heat.
U are sweet rain for this drought stricken california! Im so glad i found you! Im in zone 9 and i just recently started planting and have no idea what im doing..im just a throw that seed type of girl and pray those seeds grows haha. But no! I have been learning a lot from you and cant wait to grow more! Thank you for all that you do!
🤣 broadcasting definitely works with some crops!
Wow! You made that look easy. I try carrots every year with no luck. Now I’m inspired to try again. Thank you for putting useful info on the back of your seed packets.
I love that I found your channel. I have a small back yard garden in Ventura county and appreciate your advice on growing in the So Cal climate. I will have to try the carrot seeds, I always have difficulty with my carrots and my grandsons love them . Thanks for the information.
They'll love the pelleted seeds!
I haven’t used these kind of seeds before but have had nothing but good luck with your seeds that was gifted to a year ago love that your giving a chance for someone to try these seeds of yours
Pelleted seeds! Sounds like a real time saver! Especially as you get older and the smaller seeds are harder to see... and you will waste less seed. Win-win! Hi from Central FL, zone 9b!
Your knowledge and classes have been so helpful to me but these look like a game changer
They are! You'll love 'em
I have never heard of this new-old technology. Super cool. Will love planting these with my daughter. ❤️
I've just finished watching your video and for that reason I don't plant carrots as often as I should living in Pomona CA. With that said I'm up for that with pellet seed planting. Thanks for the encouragement.👍🏼 God bless 🙏🏼✝️
This is going to be a game changer with my kids in the garden! Now I can't say no when they want to get carrot seeds.
They're so much fun for kids!
I can’t wait to try your pelleted seeds. SDSC has great products and I’m sure these seeds will not disappoint!
Love the idea of the pelleted carrot seeds! I've had trouble getting carrot seeds to germinate in the past. Can't wait to try these out!
Hello from Texas, this my 3rd year with planting carrots and its always a challenge for me planting carrot seeds. Love the videos
Ive never used pelleted seed! Never heard but it totally makes sense how functional the method is specially in the small seeds. Less wasteful.
So cool! No thinning! Terrific
I'm in 9b and I'm always on the lookout for heat tolerant varieties. Thank you for your videos and sharing info. These are going on my list to buy.
Being in So Cal also I love channel and all you do. I also struggle with growing carrots my seeds I got from you last spring came up beautiful and tall greens but one grew 1" carrots. I let them grow until all the green tops died. I can't wait to try these new seeds this fall.
Wow, this sounds awesome. I’m a new gardener and would love to try growing carrots this fall. Thanks for the tips and the new pelleted seeds. Can’t wait to try them.
This is the first time I've heard about pelleted seeds! I have a small container garden, would love to try growing these types of carrots.
We live in Northern California and so thankful I found your channel! I have learned so much! I love pelleted seeds and will make it so much easier to see them lol! Don’t want to
Waste any of them as seeds are GOLDEN right now! Happy gardening!!!
I’ve had terrible luck with carrots I think these would be the game changer!!
Can’t wait to try these! The other seeds I’ve used from you grew fantastically! Especially impressed with the spinach!
how cool to actually be able to space carrots.
ohmigosh what beautiful carrots! Thanks for this video. and the opportunity to receive the pelleted seeds!
Ahh okay. I got the pelleted, but I didn't realize it takes so much longer to sprout
Planting carrots is the bane of my existence, but I always do it because they just taste so dang good fresh! I love how this looked visually when you laid out the seeds in a clean line.
Oh my ... I've never been able to grow carrots and this would be able to help me to be able to handle the seeds more instead of all the seeds going to waste
Sowing your Amazing Cauliflower seeds...Amazing 👏
This would make it alot easier and less wasted seeds . Thank you
I never planted the pelleted seeds before. Compare to the tiny carrot seeds, the pelleted seeds are definitely the game changer 😊
I am zone 10a and had just found your channel in the past month, since you are local to me I have been watching all your videos. Great stuff. I am a 2nd year gardener and not very successful . I blame the heat, This will be my first fall garden and was going to start cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and bunching onion today. I was wondering when to start my carrots outdoors , I grow in containers and have 4 2x3 raised beds with 2' 4x4 legs. I am 79 yrs young with a bad back and legs so I can't get down to ground level. I now will wait to get your pelleted seeds. GREAT TIMING.
Carrots are a great choice for raised beds. You can start them outside now, but you might have to use shade cloth if we get some hot days. The key is keeping the soil moist because the seedlings will die if they dry out
I was almost done with carrots! All my carrots were mini carrots!! But will try again with pelleted seeds!!!!😃
Carrots are amazing and the tops make a great pesto.
I would love this because I really suck at thinning carrots successfully...
Just bought some! I’m so excited to start planting them out this weekend!!!
Excited about the pelleted seeds. Never had much luck with planting them before. In Michigan
Definitely let me know if you try them!
Great advise. I have always struggled with tiny seeds. I hate thinning so thanks.
Those carrots are huge!
Yay! These will be great for my toddler to help me in the garden 😀
I love your succession planting schedule that I just discovered yesterday. Its also exciting that you showcase some of the heat tolerant varieties that are so important for our dry California conditions. Amazing videos and content. Thank you!
I’m so excited to try this seeds! 😀 🌱 💚
I have a love hate relationship with growing carrots. These pelleted seeds sound wonderful! Will definitely give them a try.
Love to try this season. Love carrots so much. Thanks for tips and tricks for successful gardening.
I can't wait to try out those seeds!
I always struggle growing carrots 🥕 so thank you for this video and advice! Here's hoping to a great harvest this year!!!
I have just recently received an order of seeds from San Diego seed loved the packaging and can’t wait to plant my seeds tomorrow
Heck yes! I love this! Your videos are so informative. I never even heard of pelleted seeds. I can’t stand the idea of thinning anything out 😂🤷🏾♀️
I’ve been struggling with growing carrots. No thinning is up my ally 😄
Ugh! Thinning is always so heart breaking
Beautiful carrots❤️
I planted carrots using the cornstarch with water method and i still have to thin my carrots. I can't wait to use the pelleted seeds
I could have used this yesterday! I sowed carrot seeds in my raised bed. I'm definitely buying these for my garden! Thank you!
Would love to try!!! 😊🥕
I've never heard of that before. Sooooo cool!!
Great additions to your store! Could have used those drought resistant carrots this summer!!
Thanks for this awesome info!
Can't wait to try pelleted carrot seeds!
This is great! Thinning seedlings gives me anxiety. I cringe when I do it! 😬
This is awesome!!! Would love to try pelleted seeds this year 👍🙏😇
I've only seen the smaller seeds on seed tape. Glad to see they've come up with the technique to pellet small seeds. The amazing Cauliflower grows well for me in Indiana, I normally plant Danvers or Nantes varieties of carrots, they're still hard to germinate. I think I'll try covering the row with wet burlap next year.
Just made my list of what to grow this fall/winter and thought I'd try carrots for the first time and then your cool video popped into my feed. I'll be placing an order with you this week for the seed I need. Thanks for the videos that teach me so much
Love your videos!!! You’re awesome 🥰❤️🥰
I love all your videos! Always very informative, straight to the point, easy to understand and entertaining. God bless you!
I've never tried pelleted seed but will definitely try them now. In NC zone 7B. Thanks for all the great info you share 🧑🌾
Let me know how it goes!
Ok so I need to sift when covering my carrots seeds! I planted some about a month ago and only two germinated 😆😂 Can't wait to try again with the pelleted seeds.
You'll love using them!
I have try this before and I love it, it is easier to plant and with carrots is gonna be the best specially because is so tiny seeds thanks. I can’t wait to have carrot seeds like that 💚
Oh boy nice
I'll try them out. 😊
Enjoy your videos
Wow! Pelleted seeds…why have I not heard of you before? I’m definitely trying these here in NW Arizona! Thanks. 🥕
I think you're going to love them!
So awesome! So hate thinning! Hope y'all made it thru the storms and heat ok!
I'd like to try this!
Cool concept! Would love to try
I've had mixed results with carrots and would LOVE to try these! Same for Cauliflower! Fingers crossed.
Thank you! I’ve had awful luck with carrots
I would love to try these seeds for sure
I got some pelleted seeds to try this year and I’m super excited about it!
I need these! Haha, I had to pull out soo many extra carrot seedlings bc I overseeded in clumps!
How fabulous! I would LOVE to try those seeds. 💗😎🌟
This is awesome! I hate thinning carrots lol. Thanks!
Would love to try the pelleted seeds from SDSC! ❤️
Great video, love pelleted seeds.
I've never tried pelleted seeds... Excited to try
Pretty exciting! I planted a bunch of carrots a few weeks ago using the cornstarch gel method, and I'm not looking forward to thinning em out. These would be so much nicer to work with.
Thanks for chance to win pelleted seed. Easy to see and. Hold.
I need some of these seeds!
Seeeds!!! Im in!
I am so excited. I have been waiting for these seeds. Would love to get some or win some even better for🎉
