  • Here are the 6 seeds you should start in the month of January. January is a great time to start the seeds that take time to germinate or are slow growers. Keep in mind many of these seeds can be started at a later date in February so there is no reason to stress this process!

    Ashley is a soil scientist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
    At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
    Some of Ashley’s interests are UA-cam, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s UA-cam channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her UA-cam channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

    Happy Sunday to you as well! I am in zone 6 (I think) in Southwestern Ontario. As far South as you can go in Canada near Point Pelee. :) I have been growing and selling Cut Flowers for the past two years. Feeling confident in my seed starting abilities, last spring I decided to start a 128 cell tray of different types of tomatoes to sell as starts. They sold very well in fact almost everyone that bought tomato plants wanted to know what else I had. With all that being said I have decided to add another grow shelf to my dining room :) :) One for flowers for my cutting garden and the other for veggies to sell as starts.
    So this week I would like to start a few varieties of hot peppers and herbs for a tea garden. Thanks for the tips!

    Here's a tip for starting seeds that need warm temperatures (tomatoes, melons, peppers, basil) Sprinkle them onto a moist paper towel . Fold over towel to cover seeds and place in a plastic bag which you have labeled. Place seeds in your oven with the oven light on. Germination is so fast you won't believe it. This week I have had one variety of basil germinate in less than 24 hours. Tomatoes, melons etc generally take 2 to 3 days max. Make sure you put a note on your oven though to remind you the seeds are in there. One year I baked a whole batch of melons I had started on peat pots.😒 This tip is a game changer.

    Im in ontario and I started my peppers last year this time. They grew too big indoors I ended up not having enough space and I had to put some outside in early spring so I kinda lost half my pepper plants especialy my jalapenos. Pepper plants grow very big very fast once they become established. You live and you learn.😄Some peppers are frost tolerant and my cayenne peppers survived and gave me delicious peppers. I also grew habanero and pasilla and ancho and tobasco. The tobasco was delicious and prolific in fact Im still using the frozen ones in stews.

    • @Lochness19
      @Lochness19 6 місяців тому +4

      Yeah, I agree, I started my peppers in late February/early March and most of those were very large (but still manageable) by planting time in early June. The one exception is chinense varieties which tend to be very bushy and don't grow tall as fast - I think you could start those a few weeks earlier than the annuum/baccatum varieties.

    I maybe a little off-base with my seed starting. But I really enjoy dillweed. Gardeners will scoff at the idea of tending to dill, which I am okay with. I have just found it better for me to start them early so I have more than enough. It is just that I am usually too distracted by other duties in the garden to give what little is required of the dillweed. So it goes to seed quite easily. Then my garden dill is mainly for seeds, which is a bonus as I cook/bake with the seeds as well.

    I brought in many of my plants to see what would survive in my sunroom after summer. I've got spinal injuries, so things just take me much longer to achieve, and unfortunately what started off as a small spider might infestation turned into a horrible mess that natural spraying does not help without also scrubbing. I'm nearly done with 60 second submerging the remainder of my tomato plants, but they are very large and to do so I need to cut them down and remove a lot of suckers. I don't know if they will survive but I figured I might as well stick them in some potting mix and put them by bright lighting to see what I can salvage. I would not normally attempt to plant tomato suckers this time of year.
    I will also be starting asparagus from seed next week. I intend to keep those in a 5-gallon bucket for 3 to 4 years to ensure no wildlife gets to the young shoots before the plants are established.
    I've had sarracenia varieties in the refrigerator for 6+ weeks, and I have not seen any germination. I'm not sure if they're supposed to germinate after removing them from the cold, or if my seeds are just not viable. I suppose time will tell.

      Actually, I do have good germination. I use those covered pans that BBQ chicken comes in for one packet of seeds and set them on the mantle here. The airtight stove hooked into the chimney is lit 24 hours a day this time of the year, which would be the equivalent of bottom heat. I don't stratify the seeds but I'm not sure what the companies do before I buy the seeds. I'm using composited horse manure and hay bedding for seed starter. My mantle and rock chimney get full sun and the covered pans have a large decor mirror that is permanently on the chimney behind them, so they get reflected sun also..

    I obtained lavender from a nursery during a half price sale. I planted them in sandy stony soil mixed with some soil and mulched with pea gravel. Although I harvest lavender for use in sashes etc, I leave enough flowers to go to seed. These seeds have scattered into the surrounding mulch and exploded into many seedlings and subsequently, several more mature plants. An additional condition to my success is that my lavender is grown against my house in a full sun southern exposure. Starting seeds is something I would no longer do as the success rate is sketchy.

    An important timing thing you didnt cover is that for plants you start indoors that you intend to move outdoors (ex: tomatoes, peppers) is HARDENING, which is by far best done YOUNG. I started way too early last year, and by the time it was warm enough not to kill my plants outright they were already in 5 gal pots and 2-4 feet tall (i also had 4 chinese bitter melon vines that were 6' tall) ... schlepping heavy planters out & back in daily gets old in a hurry.
    Lesson learned: dont start TOO early indoors unless you plan to grow it to maturity INDOORS.

      If your black berries are primocane fruiting, you can remove some weak canes at the base to prevent overcrowding. After the spring harvest is finished, you cut all of that wood off and leave the new canes for fall fruit. If your blackberries fruit on the floricane that means you need to remove all canes that fruited for you last year and keep the growth that grew last year since the fruit will form on 2nd year growth.

      I'm in zone 2b or 3a, so it's a shorter season than many experience. I start my petunias around March 25-26, under grow lights. About a month later, I transplant them into somewhat larger pots, pinch them back a bit to encourage branching out, and after hardening them off in May, they go into the flower beds early June (hopefully after the late frost). Usually they already have blooms and/or plenty of buds by then.

      I don’t believe that Europe uses plant hardiness zones in the same way that Canada and US do. And it’s mostly because they’re useless unless you’re getting perennials. What matters is actually your first or last frost dates. So my last frost date is June 10 where I am.

In southern Europe you can grow tomatoes and paprika right now, in Germany we have frost days right know, in Sweden there might be even snow.
