    What a great channel. I usually shy away from UA-cam and just read websites because I don't like long verbal explanations. I'm growing Rocket and some herbs from seed for the first time. Mine are about 2 weeks since planting and my plants look similar to yours. So that's good. Mine are in probably too small of pots. I have to move them around as I'm in the tropics and it's prone to sudden heavy downpours and scorching sun some days, year-round.

    Thank you for the tip of folding the top in order to grow veg like lettuce. I use fabric grow bags so your info has helped me and maybe expand on more delicate veg and herbs.

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  2 роки тому

      Glad it was helpful! Herbs usually do not need the full depth of the grow bags and by folding them you can save some potting soil. Thank you so much for your comment!

      Glad to hear it. Usually seeds can be used for many years, but keep in mind that for greens and lettuce the germination rates drop by the time. Hopefully yours are fine. Happy growing and thank you so much for your comment!🌱😊

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  2 роки тому +1

      Glad you found my video helpful. You want to keep soil moist but not soggy. In warm weathers, water daily. Don't just mist, water roots also. You can shower plants with watering cans or use the "shower" set up on the garden hose. I hope this helps and thank you very much for your comment!

    Any advice on why they might keep wilting off a week or two after sprouting?

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  Рік тому

      It is hard to tell but most probably it can be “damping off” which is a fungal disease. Try growing in a fresh mix and let soil dry between watering. And don not over water them. Hope you have a better results next time and thanks for visiting.

    1. Little confused with the 1 Part 2 Part. Is it a 2 / 1 / 2 mix? Surely the perlite is not 50/50 with the potting soil? 2. Direct sunlight? 3. How often watering?

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  3 місяці тому

      Hi! 1. If you are asking about the potting mix, you can check my video here on how I make the mix for greens ua-cam.com/video/Xdi9kwEA_X0/v-deo.htmlsi=GK04hHht5R0lwgCj . 2. Direct sunlight to part shade is ok. Specially in hot midday sun, move them to shade. 3. Watering depends on the weather. You want to keep the soil moist but not soggy. If top of soil is wet, skip watering. Grow bags need more watering, maybe daily. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting.

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  11 місяців тому

      You can grow rocket in a 5-6" (12-15 cm) deep pots. They will grow in shorter pots too but you will get smaller plants. Thank you for visiting!

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  2 роки тому

      I usually start Arugula in cool months, Nov. or Jan. Arugula grow better in cool weather, so if it is getting warm you may want to move the in shade. Thank you for visiting!

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  11 місяців тому +1

      They do grow best in spring or cooler weather rather than in the summer. Optimum soil temperature to grow is 60-70ºF (15-20ºC). Thanks for visiting!

      In cold winters, Feb. to Jun. is a good time. If you have hot summers (or mild winters), grow them in cool months such as Sep. to Nov. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!

    Do i need to water the soil everyday? even if the seeds are not yet growing?

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  Рік тому

      You need to keep soil moist, but I don't think everyday watering is needed unless it is very hot and the soil gets dry. Probably watering every 2-3 days would be better. Thank you for visiting.

  • @anujajainofficial
    @anujajainofficial Рік тому +1

    So, I plant the seeds > allow them to grow > harvest > regrow > harvest. Right?
    I don’t have to replant the seeds again and again? Or do I?
    The plant regrows and harvesting it from regrown plant is the only cycle, right?

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  Рік тому +2

      You can harvest for few times and they will grow back, but usually when it gets warmer, arugula will start bolting (flowering) and the taste changes. It is better to sow seeds again when it gets cooler for a fresh crop. Hope this helps and thank you for getting in touch!

      That's just a label. I usually plant several seeds at the same time so always label my seeds to I know what I am growing. This is totally optional. Thanks for visiting.

    When should I fertilize if so?

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  7 місяців тому

      For the first harvest, fertilizing is optional. The manure added to the soil at the time of planting is sufficient. If you want to harvest multiple times, you can fertilize with water soluble foods such as Fish fertilizer after each harvest. Thank you for visiting!

    I saw some popping up and checked the next day they all died. Literally nothing changed, soil was still moist…

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  6 місяців тому

      It is really hard to tell without seeing them. Do you notice any pest activity? Did you expose them to too much sunlight? or maybe it could be a soil-borne fungal disease effecting the roots, or damping off. I would start over in a clean soil. Also do not over water them. wait until top soil is dry then water. Hopefully will have a better results next time. Happy growing and thank you for visiting!

      The plastic container is 7.5" (19cm) wide and 6"(15cm) deep. The grow bag is 12" (30cm) deep, but I folded the edges down and only added about 8" (20cm) of soil. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!

    But I sowed in April, and even till June, it didn't grow well, just lying in its tiny stage. What's wrong??

    • @TowardGarden
      @TowardGarden  6 місяців тому

      Cann't tell what is wrong without details, but it might be that they just meed some boosting, specially if the soil is not rich. Try to feed them with diluted fish fertilizer. Hope you have a better results. Thanks.
