16:24 hands down. The most rewarding moment for me last summer was seeing monarch caterpillars on milkweed I started from seed. No words can express the pride and joy!
This year instead of saving seeds on my pepper plants I just dug one of the most vigorous plants I had out of the ground, potted it up and stuck it in a cheap walmart plastic greenhouse in my sun room! Man that things still been giving me fresh peppers all winter long! If you have the time/space to keep a mature pepper plant overwinter I think it's a great idea. Within the greenhouse i've only needed to water it 3-4 times this winter at most!
Something about collecting seed, some can get cross pollination. I had a celosia that I loved and collected the seed. The first year it was great until I planted a second variety nearby. The bees cross pollinated it and the seeds that came from it were not true to type. I learned my lesson and keep a beloved variety far away from any plants in the same family.
This maybe the first time I’ve seen Griffin chilling out lol he’s so cute.
We got one of those surprises from baker creek last year. They were tiny little spoon tomatoes and my kiddo loved them. That plant was gigantic and spread four feet wide. So this year we are slowing down on tomato growing. If anyone is getting peas from baker creek, I’d advise Lillian’s caseload peas. They were so good I never got to cook them. My husband and kiddo ate them before they ever made it into the house lol they’re really wonderful.
❤hello everyone ,hello, Jim Putnam and Stephany. Thank you for sharing the seeds' times. 😊thanks again.
i love this time of year. started some marigolds and dahlia seeds a week ago and just started my tomatoes over the weekend. Wanted to get my potatoes and onions in the ground too but fell ill and the weather was little chilly anyways. I have had luck potting tomatoes up into 4-6" pots and growing them in the greenhouse until the weather gets warmer.
Look at Griffin behaving so well good boy! Love it!
I have canada anomone, butterfly weed, and colombine seeds in milk jugs on the deck for now.
Jim,
Really appreciated your addition of all your prior seed starting videos!
Thank you. 😊
I grew passionflower when a fellow teacher gave me a little plant in 1993. I didn't think to dig up a bit of it when we moved to NC in 2004. I would casually look for them over the years and through the FB Perennial Gardeners group was able to get a very large plant about 4 years ago. I did dig it up when we built the new house in 2021 and it has loved life growing along our fence. It has been gifting babies to many friends. Let me know, Jim and Stephany, if you'd like me to bring you one (or several) of her babies this spring since we live in the Raleigh area. 🥰
Passion flowers really are a blessing and a curse. Even though they're native to our area... they act like theyre invasive plants and eat anything in their way if left unchecked. I wonder if the new owner of your old home would ever be able to dig that really established passion flower out even if they wanted to and I dont think so lmfao. Once that thing is in the ground it aint never coming out. I learned my lesson a long time ago. To enjoy the beauty of those flowers you have to plant the vine far away from anything else or it'll eat it's neighbors alive in 2 weeks lmfao!!
In Texas, it was a bit better behaved. I do have to keep them reined in here. 😂
@@nolanholmberg311 💯true on tha passion vine! I will try AGAIN this year to control this monster. It’s a horror! I’ll never eradicate it….😢
Thanks to this video I feel more confident to try seeds for the first time! 🌿 I'm trying mahogany splendor hibiscus, raspberry zinnias, lettuce and radishes this year. Zone 9b Kissimmee, FL 🌺
Radishes are fun because they grow so FAST! For years, I have grown lettuce using store-bought transplants. I will also be growing lettuce from seed this year - patience required! Good luck in the garden! 🥬
Black Krim and Chocolate Stripes are the best tasting tomatoes I’ve ever grown and I’ve grown a lot. I think the best heirloom tomatoes taste better than hybrids. Not as disease resistant but I’ll trade that for taste.
My neighbor has an abundance of milk weed plants in her garden and I know there are various types of milkweed but she hasn’t seen a monarch in two years! We are in the mountains of NC calling our zone 5 now instead of 6b. I finally succeeded transplanting two into . lousy soil with clay. We have lots of swallowtails here but I shall remain hopeful.
Salvias are one of a handful of annuals/perennials that thrive here in the Central Texas summer heat. I would like to try Summer Jewel Salvia this year. I'm not sure we will see them at our local nurseries. Definitely not the seeds, so I would have to order those online.
I never realized we have the exact same shelf 😂
Always learn so much. Thank you !!!
Great information 😊
Thanks for putting all of this information together! I always learn something. Just FYI based on my experience, if you make a mistake and start your tomatoes too early you can pot them up into fresh soil or just plant the leggy plants. I have sometimes not gotten around to planting all of my tomato seedlings until pretty far into the season. Seedlings were definitely looking leggy, yellow/purple (nutrient deficits) and generally pretty pathetic. Once they got into the good garden soil in the raised beds, they tool off and produced. Strip off the lower leaves and plant them deep. Other plants, especially peppers, may be more finicky. Remember, even if your seedlings fail, you can pick up seedlings at a nursery or the big box stores -- I was actually pleasantly surprised by the varieties available. However, it is really rewarding to grow your own from seed. Expect some great successes and don't be discouraged by failures, they happen to everyone.
A pickle closet 🤣🤣🤣 I found one of those in my grandparents house!!!! All kinds of canned vegetables!!! I’m looking forward to some more peas and radishes!!!!! I could’ve had so many more last Fall was wonderful … lasted sooooo long!!! 🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🫛🫛🫛🫛🍒🍒🍒🍓🍓🍓🍎🍎🍎 strawberries!!!! 🍓
I saved seeds from last years zinnias to direct-sow in an outdoor pot around late spring/early summer.
My favorite tomatoes have been Orange Oxheart and Juliette. I plan on trying some of your favorite veg and annuals this year.
I learned something new today ..far as greenhouse seed starting..The DIF technique..thought that technique was really cool!
Thanks great episode
I know this is a little out of the ordinary, but I thin my lettuce to 3 plants each cell instead of one. I have found not only are they more robust and healthier, if something gets one of them you have the other two which will quickly fill in! 😊
I’m direct sowing everything this year. Works better for me here in GA zone 8b.
I recently received the results of my soil test for the vegetable garden so thank you for encouraging me to do that. The results were all nutrients were not needed except low in potassium. Also the pH was 6.6. It was recommended to use 15-0-15 fertilizer or heavier for heavier feeders, which I understand. Also recommended was to apply borax (very small amount, 1 TBLS per 100 feet of row) to crops such as broccoli and root crops such as turnips and beets. Why the borax ???? Also, would it be helpful to work in ashes from my firepit from time to time? On a side note, my little garden space, I am convinced, lies on a rock shelf as I cannot go down far enough without hitting rock to put in stakes in most spots. But I get good sun there so that is where I garden for veggies. I have literally hand sifted the rocks out of this space over the period of a couple of years. Thank you again for your channel, you are so knowledgeable and informative in all aspects of gardening.
I’m excited about those envy zinnias that are solid green. I don’t have the greatest luck with zinnias indoors. I think it’s because I don’t have a grow light, just a bright window. I have better luck outdoors sowing but my plants are smaller. We are starting some delphinium, dark cherry scabiosa and larkspur in gallon jugs outside today to see if that works for us. Then in the next week or so we’ll plant peas, carrots, radish and beets in the ground.
Thank you Thank you Thank you for this extensive, comprehensive video!!! 💐🌿🌺 I get "new" info everything I watch it. I actually also listen as a "podcast" while I do something else 🙂
Thank you so much, Jim. I needed this video as I am going to attempt some seeds in doors this year.
I love that you talked about the satisfaction you get from seed starting, especially from seeds you “gathered” from different sources. It is truly magical when I spy those little green starts that I’ve planted from seeds! Thanks again for all the info you pass on to us…and thanks to Steph for all her contributions quietly behind the scenes 💕
lots of good info, I have a similar setup in my house, i set hooks in the ceiling with ratchet cords, I have my trays on an old credenza. A good tip is to use car oil drip trays 22"x22"x1.5"under 2 flats , I got some free T8 flourescent fixtures and put a mix of flourescent and led tubes in them
Growing gomphrena, Rudbekia, straw flower, celosia, dahlias, Salvia, and zinnias from seed 8a Georgia. Thanks for the info. I planted profusion apricot zinnias last year and double raspberry after watching your video from last year. They did great! Didn’t know there were small zinnias
Thx so much for the thoughtful inclusion of details/links for all the things I was hoping for!
Awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed and liked how you linked all of these videos.
Great learning tool. TY!
Thanks 🌿
Thank you for taking the time to put together such a thorough video!
Great info. I have my lights daisy chained for the power and on a timer. Each light should have an individual power switch that you can turn off when not using that shelf.
I grew Passion Fruit vine (In South Africa we call the fruit Granadilla - delish on a fruit salad), but I found it a little too enthusiastic for my garden.
Love the basket that has your seeds in it. I have a thing for baskets.
Thank you for most knowledgeable & much needed seed video! 💘
Can you continue to grow + cultivate some veg all year, & harvest from mature, long-lived plants??
Hey I just bought the same shelves! Very easy assembly…4 shelves…but why was mine twice as much? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Although it came with lights and clear mats to line each shelf 😅
I use a soft pencil 4-8B to write on plastic labels, softer pencils make it easy to read and erasable
Shelving - those metal shelves are great, tho pricey indeed. I purchased a plastic shelving unit from a big box store. Cheap and sturdy! Check the dimensions and weight limits as Jim directs. And yes, of course I have it set up in my dining room! 🤣 I used 2 single fluorescent bulbs per shelf and rigged up a chain and caribeaner hanging system. Passion flower? Don’t do it, Jim. Just DON’T invite that into your space! Eek! Too aggressive. How about a nice bignonia ‘Tangerine Beauty’ with those gorgeous tubular flowers? Grows huge but at least remains as ONE plant! Or a Confederate Jasmine with that divine fragrance? Or annual sweet pea vine?
This will be the first year I will attempt seeds. I am going to try native milkweed because it’s so hard to find.
Great information. Do any of the seeds discussed require or would benefit from cold stratification prior to placing in soil?
Just wondering if you've done Pentas from seed either this year or in years past? I purchased seed this year and I'm going to try my hand at growing them.
My seed packets don’t give me all that information. Should I find other suppliers?
first year doing seeds (instead of plants). Stupid question but, how many seeds do you put in each tray cell?
How soon can you put pansy/viola transplants in the ground? Started from seed.
I use organic soil but after I plant my plants I start see a lot of flies (Fungus gnats) that I want a solution for. Any help?
Hi Jim..noticed that you don’t use heat mats. Is there a reason why?
And piggybacking on this question -- no humidity domes or fans either?
Hoping someone in the horttube community can help me - does summer jewel salvia reseed itself? I’m interested in summer jewel white and was wondering if they would be true to seed. Thanks ❤
I'm starting a bunch of box basil bushes to line a partarre while i decide what i want to use for a formal hedge. Waiting for better boxwoods but eyeballing Juke Box/
xPyracomeles sp.. What do you suggest? I'm in zone 9b nor cal, have drip set up and location is full to part sun with afternoon shade. Max height 3ft, ideally 2.5. will hedge to 1.5ft wide.
I’m gonna try to integrate my veges in with my flower beds roses and tomatoes cucumbers peas radishes squash zucchini … corn with my dahlias? Lol idk is that a good idea will anything clash or u should not grow together 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you Jim. ❄️🫠💚🙃
