- In this video I show what to do with "baggie method" germinated seeds that are over germinated with super-long radicles.

Hi, snow, rain, wind, fog and freezing temp's all in the same day, springtime in Nova Scotia, can’t complain though, that storm was worse farther north. Last night I heard the spring peepers for the first time this year. 🐸Kitchen tables are great for planting seeds!
Plot twist: she watched this video
I'm starting a lot of seeds using this method myself. I didn't do it with my tomatoes and most came up within a week but my plum tomatoes did not yet so now I'm wondering about them. I've been mostly bottom watering lately and I think that is a better watering method. It helps the roots grow deep to reach the water while the surface stays drier if you want to give that a try. Thanks and good luck with your leggy radicles.
Even my leggy seedlings i will just bury all the way to the first true leaves upon up-potting, if i need to get them to straighten out. I actually need to start my peppers and tomatoes today.
Same here, I don't put anything out until the weekend closest to June 1st....
One things that seems to be forgotten:
Wash your hands well before doing the baggy seed method. Years I wondered why I was losing seeds with the paper towel method or transplanting sprouted seedlings: it was just yuck from my hands touching the doorknob, kitchen sink faucet. The once a week cleaning routine doesn't get everything and that can inhibit the germination.
Who wudda thunk
Always learn something new from you, Greg. Appreciate your channel. Gardening in New Hampshire. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
I did the baggy method for some tiny perennial flower seeds that got too far along too seperate from the paper towel. I put the wet paper towel on top of potting soil with a thin layer of professional seed starting mix and the the roots have found their way! I have baby flowers, sofar so good!i
That's a great idea!
I started this after seeing your first clip, got a few seeds already into the soil. Like this idea very much!
Great video .. laughed out loud when you said .... "Thunderdome"
😁
Cotyledon. the seed leaves. Coh teh LEE duhn
I say, you didn't mispronounce it. You simply have a Maritimes, accent!
ha ha
Greg, I’m doing the baggie method, and I’m having great success with peppers and tomatoes. However, with eggplants, I get less than 50% germination, and when I put the germinated seed into the soil, about 1% come up as plants. This is my first year planting eggplant. I guess I still have a lot to learn about eggplant.
maybe you're planting too deep or too shallow? Mine worked out fine last year - so stay with it - I'm sure it's just some little thing.
@@maritimegardening4887 thanks! I’ll try that.
Appreciate your videos Greg. I also live in a Maritime climate. I envy your garden and simple techniques to manage and harvest it. I just need a way to deerproof my yard before I can scale up! In the meantime, I grow 25 heads of lettuce (red sail) and about 5 cherry tomato plants (sungolds) because we eat a ton of them.
do you do baggie method for all of the indoor seeds?
Yes - but tomato, peppers, basil and sometimes eggplants are the only things I start indoors
@@maritimegardening4887 similar, although I do start my squash and onion indoors. Garlic outside, carrot, too. And potato
