I have my seed starting setup in my office. I am convinced that sitting with the lights and plants for so many hours a day has really impacted my mood for the better!!! No more winter doldrums for me. I highly recommend it!
Light therapy is recommended for people with Seasonal Affective Disorder (aka SAD). In parts of the world days can be quite short during the winter.
That's a fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing. I might have to get a mini set up started on my filing cabinet next to my desk.
Mt laundry would pile up and my dishes lol!! I do know how lovely going to check on my seeds is thank you!!
Imagine the positive impact on your plants, too! Definitely a symbiotic thong happening.
As a fellow Canadian, spotting Tracy's seedings in the Tim Hortons cups warmed my heart on this very cold morning! 5b
Yaaay, Timmie's! From Waterloo, ON! :)
Wow who knew getting featured on Garden answer would make me feel this accomplished 😉!!! Thank you Laura and Aaron
Thank you SO much for sharing my Winter Sowing in Ziplock Baggie video! I look forward to your video every day and have learned so much from you (and Aaron)!
Wonderful idea. We all have ziplocs,, not everyone has clear gallon jugs.
Great idea thanks for sharing!
I watched your video. I am going to try your method. It looks great.
I cannot wait to try your ziplock idea! Brilliant!
@@rebeccaeichornerdiakoff9883 Thank you! Have fun!
Gosh people are so creative and inventive, one can only be inspired by all these amazing set-ups! Thank you Laura for showing them to us! And thank you to everyone who submitted them! Time to start organising my seeds for spring! So excited! 🤩
We’re all enjoying these glimpses into each other’s gardening lives and I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering when part 2 of the container gardens will air? Keep up the great fun/work! It’s wonderful to keep up on garden tips and dreams while enduring snow and freezing rain here in Alberta Canada! Thank you for all you do!
Enjoyed seeing all the different beautiful seed starting setups. I got a used "Outside the box" shed/greenhouse that I was so excited to start seeds in, but some little critter got into all my seedlings and pretty much destroyed them all !! The same thing happened in my four shelf outdoor covered greenhouse. I'm so discouraged from last year and don't know if I should bother this year or not! Any suggestions???
Don’t give up. Try making a “hot sauce” and spray it around. On the containers and maybe where you think they came in. I made one with water and pepper flakes and used my vitamix. When plants are bigger I have sprayed plants. You could try sprinkling with diatomaceous earth. Maybe traps. Good luck.
i feel so blessed being featured in this video! you've made my week. happy planting :)
Wowza! Zip lock bags, rolling carts to transport seedlings to harden off, a repurpose Aviary! Whaaaat?! People had so many creative ideas! I’m so impressed and inspired to try seed starting. Never thought it would be for me but now I really want to try this!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
So happy to see my pic included And the pic of my puppy!
Cute dog.
Thanks for sharing❤
Please do another one of these episodes on seed starting setups for 2023! I have my own setup of 5 racks, 15 shelves, but love to see all the creativity within the constraints of everyone’s houses and spaces. It’s so motivating and inspiring.
Hi, Sarah here from the video. Thank you to Laura and Aaron for featuring my setup, it is definitely a work in progress. I have bought vermiculite to try this year after hearing you speak about it. I am so excited for seed starting season to begin soon. Have a great day everyone!
Thank you for showing my set up… and thank you for taking community input and sharing all these inspiring ideas!!!
Oh wow Jenny! How exciting to be mentioned by Laura!
@@artistinagarden Yes!!!!
Your set up is so nice!
So fun to see what other people are doing! It's -17° in MN this morning so it's nice to look at some cheerful growing things! 😊
We love seeing everybody's creative grow light set ups and excited to see all these new little seedlings making their way into the world! Happy gardening everyone!
Unused aquariums make great greenhouses!! I used one to start lettuce and spinach. It worked great!
I love all the creative ideas people are putting out there for seed starting. ❤️
My mind was blown by the zip bag winter sewing.... such a great idea 💡
Thank you!
1000 years for those plastic bags to break down leaving toxins along the way folks!
Right! I just pulled my zip lock bags out of the trash!
I could have watched this all day🤣🪴! Thanks everyone for sharing- I’m so inspired!
Me too! 😁
Everyone that shared, thank you. Yall have some beautiful spaces.
Love these kinds of shows where we get inspired by others. Gardeners are so inventive and adaptable, this was wonderful to see. Thanks Laura and thanks also to all those who have submitted to these “ show and tell “ videos. It’s so appreciated!🇨🇦
Winter sowing in zip lock bags just changed my life!
I am so glad to hear this!
Good morning everyone have a safe and blessed day
💚💜 haha love how you say 'grown up' sounds like Benjamin your mirror image 😄!! That lady with a jungle in her house is just like mine 😆. I had to rescue 2 kittens last summer so idk how it's gonna work this time around, but I can say this I will make it work!! I think that's why I don't care for formal is because I just love knowing that what I do and how I do it on some limb comes out looking like a million bucks lol!!! Formal to me is to easy I'd that makes sence. Nothing wrong at all with formal I just like thinking out the box basically making things harder on myself lol. I love Elizabeth channel ❤️
How crazy was that to sit with my cup of coffee and turn on Garden Answer (morning ritual) and see my ugly basement front and center on my screen. When I took those photos almost a year ago, never would I dream I'd be on Garden Answer. I'm looking at the photos just laughing at my set up with an old ironing board I pulled from the metal scrap pile, tables everywhere. Organized chaos for sure. But a gardener has to do what a gardener has to do. And "greenhouse" on my husband's to-do list? We're on it! Carried all the windows (70+) from our barn into the basement to start scraping and painting them to get a jump on our soon to be spring project. Also picked up a small (very cool) vintage woodstove today to heat it. Happy gardening! ~ Lauren, South Hampton, NH
If you ever get the yellow stickys stuck in your hair, carefully get to some vegetable oil and it will help separate it from you hopedully without damage to your hair. Always run fans on your seedlings. If they aren't dancing they are weak legged!
if I only knew this last summer when my cat got stuck 😂 I still have the picture in my head of the whole hairy tail imprinted on the yellow sticky fly trap 🙈
Oh gosh, good to know, but I once raised up under an old fly strip that was hanging on a patio. It was covered with parts of dead flies and it wrapped around may long hair in an instant. I ripped out so much hair trying to get that thing out! It was a horrible experience!
I wish I knew about this trick last year! The worst part was that I was on my balcony, very visible, wrestling with the stupid thing! And I distinctly remember once coming inside and finding one stuck to my sleeve. Having little gnat corpses all over me is definitely a low part of gardening. 😂
@@katarinahlbocanova736 oh wow, I would love to have seen a photo of this. That’ll teach the kitty not to mess with your plant babies!
The seeds in the ziploc bags!!!! Mercy! Ingenious. Off to find that video.
Hi. You can go to UA-cam and search “Winter Sowing in Ziplock Baggies “
So much creativity to be seen. Great ideas for all types of spaces. And timely as well so it’s possible to make use of the techniques this coming season. 💚💚💚
Having people submit their set ups is so inspiring…so many posiibilities! Love this please keep this going Laura!
I love the idea of zip lock bags
Thank you!
I love this! Last year I found your channel and started my first flower garden. This is an amazing way to fill my large yard for half the cost. I had just asked my husband last week to build me a decorative seed starting piece of furniture to take things to the next level. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the endless inspiration.
I don't live in the same house as I did last season. I will be starting in the basement with fans and grow lights. Will start about mid February beginning of March. This season I will be starting less, I did about 500 last season. I just don't have as much room. Thank you everyone for showing your setup.
They all look amazing! Good job everyone!!🥳
Yes very inspirational! Proves that anyone can have any style and grow anything they want! I call that AAA!!
I love that you are bringing in photos from other gardeners so we get to tour their gardens and set ups. It’s like having a day of garden tours in one’s town. Something that used to actually happen. One of my favorite memories was a day of garden touring on Sauvie Island outside of Portland. Many of them had areas where they had let grass get high-above knee height-and then mowed pathways and little rooms with seating and often their was a view of some sort from seating area. One Gardner had made her “room” around a tall dead tree with white bark and hung a chandelier from one of-the branches and underneath was a bistro set. It was beautiful.
Laura and Aaron, I absolutely love that you are showcasing your viewer's gardening submissions. They give me hope and make me think of ideas on what I can do here in my limited space. Thank you, these videos make me so happy!
Love this series - today's topic of seed starting set-ups was inspirational and had so many good ideas. I really appreciate all of it and the editing too. Getting this all co-ordinated with film, photos and video in a seamless order takes talent for sure.
Wow 👀 if I wasn't already hooked I would be after watching this! Thank you for all your work ❤
Good morning, Laura☕️ Thanks for this great idea of submitting seedlings 🌱 Such an inspiration of ideas! Very intrigued by the ziplock bags 🤔 Have a Blessed Day😊🐈
Origami brand folding shelving racks work really well for seed starting. They have wheels, are sturdy, and they fold flat for storage in the off season. I got mine last year and it fits 6 of the GrowEase trays. I use clip on grow lights with wired movable arms so I can adjust them as needed.
Can you post a link?
There were a few very good tips here. A small greenhouse is very easy to maintain and heat especially a lean-to like I have against the garden shed. I haven’t tried heating it during winter, only early spring. I also use it as a drying shed. Bootstrap Farmer and Greenhouse Mega Store have been great places for heavy duty seed trays etc.
Biggest tip is don’t start too early. Yes, up-potting is expensive, time consuming and space hogs. Yes, it’s difficult to wait, but I looked at last year’s journal and realized I still need to wait at least another week to start. I had a jungle last year. Running around covering transplants from frost is getting slowly written out of the game plan. I also found out many plants did better planted later. Work smarter-not harder.
Love our wire racks with wheels. The 2’ wide are great for smaller places and fit perfectly in front of windows and can wheel them out to patio when it’s time to harden off.
Checking out that gal with zip lock winter sow! Interesting! I love the WS!
Thanks for doing this as it condensed a lot of know how from others in a small bit of time.😊
I love seeing so much creativity with starting a garden! One day I will do this. I have been scared to start planting anything because I don't know much and am afraid that I would have to move a plant to another area if I don't like it or the plant is not working in the location I chose but watching Garden Answer is so inspirational. Laura is not afraid to move things around or replant something if it is not working or try something new. I finally think I could do this! Thank you so much!! I am so glad I found your channel!
I’m not sure where to start. Thank you. I guess that’s first. I just want to say that you are the very first thing I watch when I get home from work. I’d love to be a morning person and enjoy it with coffee. But such is life. Lol. The only thing that disappoints me is when I know it’s going to end soon. I sometimes find myself checking the minutes left on the video. This series with others ideas being shared is so inspirational and since you yourself have already impacted my life immensely, I’m looking forward to how this feeds my creative side. Thank you again.
Hi Laura! It was fun seeing the different set ups that people use for seed starting. I got a couple of ideas from them and may even try the Ziploc method. Those metal shelves are definitely not Bakers Racks. LOL! They make a nice set up though. I have 3 Bakers Racks that my husband made for me out of wrought iron and they're much more decorative. I've thought about getting grow lights and using a shelf, or two, on one of them for seed starting. Thank you so much for sharing!
The ziplock bag method is super easy!
I did a simple plastic shelf and put it agains a window and used binder twine to string the led shop lights . I used reflective survival blankets at the back and side of the shelf and it really increases the light .I bought the foil blankets at the dollar store for $1.25 a lot cheaper than extra lights and power during the low light days.
if you have the money a grow tent and humidifier is an amazing combo to harden plants off. game changer.
Laura I didn't plant a dang gon thing until I found your channel. One question. How do you harden things off? What's the process? How do you know what to do first, second and last? I'm afraid to start seeds because I lack knowledge in this area. Can you share your keys for success? Love your enthusiasm for gardening 🌸🌻
What fun! Thank you everyone for sharing.
I love this idea of sharing the wonderful community of peoples spaces! Maybe this could be a weekly series “friends Friday” or “thankful Thursdays” I’m sure you gardeners can think of better titles! I love this channel. I start every morning with it and coffee! Joyful way to start the day!
I really like this video..you have turned the tables towards us subscribers to give us a glimpse of how WE start seeds...quite adifferent angle on this topic. It is nice to see the different techniques and materials used by gardeners. Thank you!
I'm in 10b also, I start seeds because you start seeds. I have a small plastic greenhouse. Hope you have having fun celebrating Benjamin's birthday 🎂
Laura, please consider creating a 2023 GA Calendar. I know that we would buy them up! You could even feature the Steinway one month! 💐
🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I would so buy that!!! In fact, I’d buy it every year!!
@@staceyallard2692 - yes! Now, we need to get Laura and Aaron on board 💐
I had a great seed starting set up but after the seedlings moved out a few years ago, my succulent and cacti collection moved in. Now I'm looking around my home office seeing where I can put some seed trays... great inspiration!
I love this series! It’s so fun to see others’ choices and to hear you react to them with genuine appreciation! 💗💗💗
I am looking at starting seeds for the first time and was figuring out my space and how to use it. I am thrilled to see that there are others already doing some of what I was thinking of, it helped me to realize that the system does not have to be elaborate and I can use the things I already have in my house. I love how you appreciate each of the different systems that people set up and the positive attitude and encouragement that you give
This is exactly what I needed! I live in a apartment with balcony, no garden. Seeing how people grow stuff in small spaces and later in simple pots is amazing. You bet I will go to the garden center tomorrow and go ham on seeds! Thank you for the video and everything you do to share your knowlage!
As the snow flies here this morning...everyone is so creative and definitely inspiring..I learned a lesson about direct sowing last year, looking forward to revisiting and increasing that this year🤷 👏 Now I see this method and yikes stripes - I don't have my seed starters yet for inside but the seed has been planted in my little brain for the future! Thanks to you at Garden Answer and your UA-cam friends 👍👏 Mama Mia the wheels are turning🙂
Absolutely love to see you get so excited of how they did it when you are so talented of everything you do. Thank you for sharing and love how you change things up. Love and stay safe
I submitted my garden before and afters and I'm so nervous for Laura to hopefully see them haha. Thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it -Salman
Amazing! Loving seeing the variety and creations of other gardeners.
My partner and I just started to get into gardening. SO many flops it's been frustrating. But these set ups have inspired me not to give up. I can't wait for more!
Laura! These recent video ideas are wonderful! Such a great idea for "inactive" months of the year! So very interesting, helpful & inspiring to see what others have come up with. Great ideas 💡 for sure! Keep it coming! Lol. Loving ❤ this!
Fun video! Thanks. I'm starting seeds for my new garden. We are rehabbing (gutting)my hubbies family farmhouse and getting our house ready to sell. It's overwhelming but exciting. I'm moving from a 40x30 garden to a 70x170... should be a busy summer!
I really enjoyed seeing so many examples as a new gardener, thank you
Beautiful seedlings at 26:00. Love, love that setup!!!
So many great ideas!!
Anyone else get a real "santa?! I know him!" vibe when someone in your area gets shared? 🤣 I don't know everyone in NC 7b, obviously, but I got SO excited 🙈
Love love love seeing the incredible creativity of gardeners who watch this channel. So inspiring! I've been thinking about how great it would be to have the space to start seeds inside. This video showed me that I can start on a small scale which would be perfect (and less intimidating) for getting me started. Thank you to all the people who shared their indoor setups and a special shout out to those who shared their small setups. You've given me the courage to take the leap.
Love seeing all the Canadian set ups! Warm wishes from zone 3b
It is exciting to see all the different setups, from professional to 1st time growers inventing their own systems as cheaply as possible, from basement grungy to decorative enough for the living.room. What an amazing array of creativity.
Laura, you’re so incredibly positive and encouraging towards everyone who submits a photo. I love to see that. I just started my first tray of the season and so far, my pink dandelions are the first to poke their leaves through. I never thought I would purposely plant dandelions in my yard but I did some research on them and learned that they're actually a really neat plant to have around.
yet another fun, informational and inspirational video. As soon as I find just the right spot (I'm thinking garage??) I'm gonna get started !!!! and yes, Jenny !!! love her channel - she is so much fun and is the kind of gardener I can relate to - give her channel (Harmony Hills) a watch - its fun !!!!
It's great to see all these creative ways to get those seeds going!! I'm inspired but know that I have to step up my game! So many ways! Great job everyone!!
I love all of the different ideas and how everyone adapts to their zone and situation, too.
Good morning everyone 🌻 🏵 🌼 💐 ❄❄☕🌅
The ideas to ask readers to submit pictures is fabulous. One suggestion is to make a list of possible submission ideas for the 2022 gardening year. I know I’m guilty of taking most pictures in portrait. Also, finding pictures taken from the same angle is a bit hard to find in the dead of winter. Another suggestion is something I’ve done is the same garden, same angle and a picture from winter, spring, summer and fall.
I've just realised how lucky I am that I can start seeds outside I live in Sydney Australia zone 10b
I've taken for granted all the different types of plants and flowers I can grow and never having to take frost or harsh cold weather into account
Feeling blessed
Gonna try baggies for winter sowing ... So easy to store year to year. Now I have to wait for 3 feet of snow to thaw. Staying cozy with a cup of coffee in -30C.
No need to wait for snow to thaw! You can begin now!
I know Lauren and she is an amazing gardener her yard was absolutely gorgeous!
Good Day , so enjoy your program, always the most positive part of my day. Love you and your entire family, feel like you are a friend . I get so excited about starting projects with you and adding to my own. Thank you for being one of my many blessings in life
This is so inspiring. I am going to get my new seed starting setup together today! I love this viewer submission series, everyone is so creative. I can't wait to see more!
Good morning! Love those seedlings! Never can get mine to look that good but gonna keep trying😁
i hope you put out a call for unusual garden spaces. i def have one to share.
Wow all of them are just amazing and they fit so many different size/need spaces.
a quick tip for anyone who has one of those wire shelving units- purchase some plywood from Lowes/Home depot and have them cut it to the size of your shelves so you can lay it on top without having to worry about anything falling through the wires!
I would think that you need to leave the shelves be the way they are to help with air circulation. It would be different if they were to be used for storage.
@@mariafolch8067 could be! I think it would depend on where the shelves are located and if there are any fans being used. But even some of these shelves shown in this video had solid bottoms! Definitely something to keep in mind though 😊
@@mariafolch8067 yep I kept mine as is for two reasons: air flow, and I didn’t want to waste the light from the top shelf leaking down to the shelf below. It’s extra light that any seedling would appreciate. I did consider simply laying a strip of Mylar between them but that would prevent air flow, alas…
I am planning my first grow system. This was great!
Hi there from NZ. I got some really great ideas from this video. I AM INSPIRED! The best part of the video was your reactions, truthfulness and positive affirmations! Thank you so much!
Cord management isn't OCD, it's just right. :)
Laura I'm loving these videos where people send in what they have pertaining to your topic. I'd love to see info on garden adornments such as pots, pergolas, obelisks etc. Sources for these items as well. Thanks for all you do!
Laura and Aaron This is so helpful. Would you do a video about the seedling hardening process? Looking to start my first seeds this year! Thank you!
I super enjoyed this video. I'm not sure what I liked more: Watching Laura's reaction to the photos or seeing the photos! Both were a lot of fun and great learning the tricks and techniques that people have come up with.
This is wonderful! I'm so excited to see other people's systems. Great ideas and so much inspiration!!
Wow! So many great ideas but I have to ask Carla to please provide more details on where and the name of the fluorescent lights! Hope you see this 🤞.
These are fantastic! So creative!
I love the way you are expanding the entire garden experience for your viewers. Thanks
I started tomatoe and pepper seeds for the first time last year and had a huge fail! I ended up buying starts at the garden store. However I haven’t given up and trying again this season! Thank you for doing this! Great tips!
Nathan's turtle container has given joy today! 😀🐢🌱
Fantastic ideas here from all over! I’m really enjoying the series of gardening elements that you all have set up. Thanks so much!
I didn’t think I would care about this topic but tuned in anyway because, Laura in the morning. I’m so inspired now and might even start this process with one of the smaller set ups from IKEA. Thanks to everyone for sharing, and to the GA team for the idea!
Wow! So many great and unique set ups. It’s amazing how everyone can be super creative and figure something out based on interest, space and budget. These submissions show how people are creative with the space they have. Great job to all who shared! Thank you 🙏!👍💚🌱
Wow and the zip lock bags, if needed, could be cut open on the underside to remove the plants from them.Tiny Zip strips would keep the electric cords more hidden if attached to the side posts. This would make the area more neat for the metal shelf units. Great work everyone!
Love your videos, Just came across Hopalong Hollow videos-since you have kiddos know you'd enjoy her videos-lots of antiques, kids books, felted animals, and gardening.
Yes, I just looked it up-- Elizabeth Anjos Channel does that video entitled " winter sewing and Ziploc bags". Hey Laura I really appreciate this type of videos it also gives us an opportunity to discover other gardeners channels.
