    Commercial flower farmer here, just a tip, leave at least an inch or 2 of space in your soil block tray so you can flood that area with water.Then tip tray to water the blocks. Soil blocks need to be bottom watered to stay together and to avoid algae as much as possible.

    P s I vote for turning the seed room back into a laundry room/utility room. It will open up the other room for a bedroom. After the greenhouse comes, that is. And it is coming. It's coming for me, too.Which is when I will probably start seeds indoors.

    I’m not sure the time frame between going from garden to kitchen, but one thing you want to be aware of is your kitchen items and food bringing fungi and contamination to your plants through your apron and clothes. The only reason I know this is because years ago I worked at a gardening plant starter company that grew starts from votings from other plants and we had to be very careful not to bring cheese and other items into the greenhouse germination area. You may want to change your apron or have one just for gardening, just a suggestion. Hugs from Texas!

    Becky, I I'm so grateful that you were sponsored by greenstalk. I have watched you over the last couple of years with your greenstalks and wanted one. I took advantage of your offer of a discount and ordered my first greenstalk. It came yesterday and I am so excited. I can't wait for planting season. I live in Southern Ohio and have to wait another month before I can plant outside. I ordered the inventor's bundle, which came with 3 tiers of the ten inch and 3 tiers of the leaf planters. It's so wonderful to have this waiting for me. It's unbelievable how much you can accomplish in your show. I just wish I had the energy to keep up with you. You mentioned an interest in making some fig Newton like cookies. I have a recipe that was my grandmother's she made every year at Christmas time. She Immigrated from Sicily as a young girl and met my grandfather on the boat that she came over to America on. It is much like a fig Newton.But instead of a cakey like texture on the outside it has more of a cookie like texture.I love them and try to make them every year. If you would like the recipe, I would be happy to share.

    Becky, I truly am so glad I found your channel a few months ago. I have learned how to make soil blocks and you helped me to become inspired to grow my garden again. I also love seeing all of the different recipes you make and have made some of these for me and my 2 teenage kids. I'm grateful the Greenstalk sponsored you and I just used your code to buy 2! I've been wanting these ever since I saw them on your channel in one of your other videos. Thank you for being an inspiration and for showing us as you do some of the usual things and for all of the new things you try!

    In your area you could plant your seeds and put them outside to cold stratify them. Just let them come up outside. Some people do that in milk jugs. You just have to make sure the seeds don’t dry out.

    Rudbeckia, echinacea, and others that you mentioned are great candidates for winter sowing. In addition to the obvious savings in space, time, heat expense, etc, the plants that grow are stronger. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    I’m adding my encouragement for you to use paving paint (with added grit to prevent slipping) on the floor in your grow room. We have recently used it on semi-enclosed concrete area about the size of single garage after 20+ years of it just being concrete. The difference is amazing! I’d say it would suit the current use of this room involving lots of dirt and water, and if you change its use in the future you can still lay flooring on top of it. I’m in Australia so I’m not sure if you call it paving paint in the US. It’s a specific product for concrete and similar surfaces, usually outdoors or in a room similar to yours. It’s already non-slip and adding the special grit makes it more so. A bonus is none of the dust that comes up off the concrete.

    Yeah, hot water hydrates faster, so it makes sense that it works better when you let the soil sit awhile. I just wanted to say how lovely the grow room looks, even without your forever floor. It makes a nice backdrop for your seed videos, and I am sure it is nicer to work in. 🥰 I can’t wait to see your beautiful garden come together this year. ❤

    My Mom was a good hobby flower girl. One of the beds was a mix of black eyed Susan's, purple/pink cone flower and Shasta daisy's. Not to much of the white Shasta, your just wanting to breakup the color field, the white gives your eyes a place to "rest". It brightens and adds vibrancy to the color in the bed. It was a show stopper every year with lots of people stopping bye. Batchelor buttons and asters are some of my favorites every year, but they are annuals and need to be reseeded each year. When working 12-15 hour days in the garden is not enough. When they finally connected several large sections of the rails to trails we were out at 1 of the trail head parking lots planting just a few Batchelor button seeds under cover of darkness. When they came up they were so beautiful and was featured in the paper. Some ladies groups had garden tours for their groups fundraiser. You should go if you can find any near you. You can learn allot from these other gardeners and so inspiring.

    I heard you say that some viewers did not like the idea of pouring boiling water on the compost. I had never heard about this and have decided to try it out. But it had felt a bit funny to pour hot water on potting soil mixed with earthworm castings. This morning as I was ready to prep more potting medium for my seeds, it dawned on me that a seed in itself has enough power stored within it to germinate till it's first true leaves. This meant that I could just sow seeds in sterilized potting soil, and feed them with mild organic fertilizer. Once seeds grow and I need to repot them, then I will use earthworm castings and not sterilize, because at that point, many of them can be potted or hardened outdoors.
    I don't have a grow room, I just have a large area in the kitchen that becomes a seed growing area in the spring. I cannot afford black flies going everywhere in my house. So sterilizing regular potting soil indoors is a must.
    Thank you for your post and sharing

    Have you considered resurfacing the floor, like they do patios & driveway? The crack, probably will not ever be great, because of the way structures move & shift over time. But they might be able to fill crack with expansion type material.

    We call it word by word "pizza snail". We also call everything else with different topping but the same shape a "snail". Cinnamon snail. Cocoa snail. I think it's quite fitting as they look like the swirls of the shell of a snail.

    Becky, in so excited about the green stocks. I just had my 40th birthday and asked for one. Out of surprised, I was gifted two of the basket weaved ones. I can’t wait for them to arrive. Because of you I have become more in all of gardening, preserving, and trying new recipes. As a kid we did a lot of canning and it is bringing back so many good memories. Since I started watching your show, I have now invested in a freeze dryer, digital canner, and now two green stocks. I have also improved my gardening area by putting in a few raised beds. I cannot wait to see what this year brings. I’m a little scared though this is the first year I have started my own seedlings. Pray that they turn out well, I am taking your advice and I bought the Vermont compost you use in hopes I will get the same results.
