Haven’t finished my morning coffee so let’s flip this back and catch it for the second time. There is always something I missed. Have a wonderful day all 😊
I think this is going to be “a year to remember” for your gardens with all the moisture you have had and still getting.
Thank you, Laura for sharing videos like these. It is so helpful for a first time gardener to watch you working with plants at all the stages. You are amazing.
My sister in law had ovarian cancer and is now cancer free. I’ll say a prayer for you. 💕🙏

These tutorial type videos are excellent. These yearly reminders and instruction are so helpful and never get old. Thanks so much!!
Oh I love seedling videos. So much new life and beauty forming ❤ I currently have nearly 3000 little seedlings growing in my house 😂🙈 how I dream of having a cold frame/greenhouse as big as yours, so I can grow even more 🥰
Hang in there, i finally got a greenhouse and cold frame structure after 25 years of marriage and gardening. It is a game changer 😊
So many baby plants! There’s a lot of work to all of this, but I can’t wait to see all the beautiful flowers and vegetables that will result! 💚💚💚
This video couldn’t have come at a better time!! It’s soooo hard to thin and pinch but so worth it in the end. Thank you for all that you do ❤
Good morning, beautiful people ❤ have a fantastic day ❤
Do you watch The Hollar Homestead ❤ they say that in every video. I love it 💞
@@christycoalson36 I was going to ask that too 😊❤️
Thank you, you too❤️
@Ninja_Orchids~🌸 Thank you!! You have a fantastic day, too!!!
Thank you same to you 😊❤️
Good morning Laura. Just another note about having fans for air movement on your plants. When I first built my greenhouse and filled it with plants we were going to overwinter, I did not have a fan to provide air movement. After a few days with all the humidity locked in with no air movement, I went to check on how things were doing and found that mold was growing everywhere! I immediately went and purchased two oscillating fans and in a couple days the problem was solved. I've kept the oscillating fan going now for two years and have not had any more mold issues. Keep up the good work. Jim
Good morning! My little boy and I just did some seed starting yesterday afternoon! It was such a sweet peaceful moment together. Happy Spring!
I still remember starting marigold seeds in first or second grade. It was magical and amazing to me. I have loved gardening ever since. I'm now 61, and it's still amazing!
Amazing video Laura!! I’m so fascinated to see your growth and your amazing garden! I absolutely love what you do!! Your amazing Laura!! You have inspired a lot of people including me and I’m only 16!And I’ve being gardening since I saw your planting bulbs in December video!! And now I teach others how to grow their own food on my channel Ultimate Gardening! Keep up the great work and never stop!🧑🏽🌾🌿🌸
Hi Laura. If you cut the seedlings off do they regrow with their roots that are underneath the soil? All the plants you are growing are gonna be beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.
@@marianhintz9981 at this young age, the seedlings Laura snipped off will simply die.
@@marianhintz9981 No, they do not regrow.

Good morning beautiful lady, just want to tell you we tried your winter sowing with my 3 year old granddaughter and if I could of showed you her face when she seen some sprouting its was the most exciting thing to see .. thank you laura for making her so excited
Love it when you’re in the greenhouse caring for all your seedlings. I used to start my own plants ( in a small way) but didn’t have much instruction so I had a lot of damping off. How I wish you had come along about 25-30 years ago before my gardening life was over. I can’t get around now but with help from my friend and my husband I still have a few small gardens. I live vicariously through your videos, but I miss it so. Thanks for keeping my dreams alive.
Hey Laura and Aaron! Was wondering, since we all know that you guys like to keep your property more private and so many of us want to come see it. Would you guys maybe think about having other UA-camrs in the garden community be able to come tour and film your property? That way you know who’s coming to your home? I saw Janey (dig plant wanter repeat) go and tour Robbie’s (visit our garden) property and i though you guys could do that to be in control and we could see your property from other peoples perspective!
Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
I'm planting Celosia Seedlings in my garden today. I planted Marigolds and Zinnias last week. We are already hitting 80's and into 90's 😰
Happy Gardening Everyone ❤👩🌾👍
❤Peggy❤
So jealous. Here in northern Ohio, we can't even get a temp in the 60's.
@@ht12wq I'm originally from Greensburg, PA. I do remember March and April. Still jacket weather. 👩🌾👍
So much work!! I really appreciate now what my local nursery goes through to produce the plants that I buy each year.
I could be wrong but I don’t think nurseries do the growing. I believe they usually order from nearby growers. But your statement still applies to the growers! So much work and care for the little green babies.
Yes, Major Zips, you’re right. But whomever is doing it, it’s a HUGE job and I’m sure glad I’m not ding it!!
I want to cry tears of joy! Every other video I have watched has said no, you cannot fix your stretched lettuce seedlings. 🌱 but look at yours! I’m doing what you say because I trust you the most!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Yesterday here in UK it rained so I watched the video you did of the Oct 2019 tour. It made me realise just how much has changed in that short time. Very very interesting to compare your garden then and now. Even the gazebo was still there then. Looking forward to seeing a summer tour and seeing the difference from way back. Could even view again some of the ones you did when you first moved there. We should all take photos of our gardens that we can look back on and enjoy the journey. 🤗
So exciting to see so many plants that will be blooming soon. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Good morning everyone! Have a blessed day ❤
Good evening from Australia, Laura, Aaron and the GA community 🌛🌺
Laura lovers galore! Another great video to start our day all over the world together with Laura
Thank you for this video! So helpful. The reminder to turn off the heat mat once seeds germinate- I thought if seeds needed heat to germinate, they needed heat to grow. That may explain some of the problems I’ve had with my seedlings!
Holy moly there is such a learning curve with seeds!!!! I work at nurseries over the years so I always came home with seedlings or full sized plants. I talked to them for the past few months!! I am so excited to have this super power of making seeds grow!!! Thanks Laura for showing the good the bad and the ugly of seeds ❤
Seed starting and seedlings are my "second Christmas". Such a thrill to see your lovely seedlings Laura!
Your videos are so informing. I just really appreciate your time and expertise you put into making these videos. I've learned so much and can't wait to apply this knowledge in my own garden
OK chào đón bạn thật tuyệt vời khi được ngắm vườn ươm cây của bạn 👍 cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều 👍❤️👍
There is no one I watch that has your perfect recipe for learning videos. There's a saying - I don't know to whom it gets attributed - "Tell them what you're going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you told them." This is what you do - Tell us what you're going to do, do it, then show us what you did. I just think you have it down beautifully! Thank you.
Good Morning! 🌱 The seedlings are looking great! Love these refresher videos! At least for me! 🙂✂️🌱💚
Thank you. My daughter introduced me to you site. Then she interrupts me with all the new ideas she finds. I really like the repurposing of old silver ware with sayings and other labels. Too much fun. Learning more each time I listen to you.🎉
Excellent follow up tips and problem solving seed starting issues. All of the examples were very instructive. Thank you!!
New to seed starting. Got easy grow system and high output lights from gardener’s. I got the stretch problem and after this video I went and checked. Yes one of the lights was not on. Thank you Laura for your help
I worked in a greenhouse yrs ago, I just loved it. I love the smell of soil and how relaxing it is to replant things and watch them grow
Very helpful! Thanks to you Laura, I have my first EVER seeds of purple bell vine and delphiniums germinated!!! Indescribable satisfaction!
Yes something so satisfying watching you separate and pot the young seedlings. Lots of seedlings Wow. Wonderful. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
This video was packed with great information that was just what I needed for my next steps with my seedlings. THANK YOU!
wow, somewhat tedious but i can see how that would be oh so satisfying, too.. and everything is looking so healthy and gorgeous... it's gonna be a great year!!! 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
You must have quite the collection of coffee cups! At the end of this video I saw a “plain” one as opposed to the many others I’ve seen. You’ve jokingly brought up moving when you see a backdrop of trees in pictures in pictures. Well, where I live that is everywhere (so I should appreciate that more). 😊 I don’t have grow lights but have started several flats of seeds. I just got a very small greenhouse last year so I’ve been walking them out there in the morning to get some sun and then back at night since it’s not heated. Getting my steps in! Some seedlings have stretched so thanks for the info on how to fix that. I love how you talk like you’re speaking to a friend in these videos. It’s like having a friend over for coffee in the morning.💕
wow amazing as always seeing how much different these plant look after. You are a powerful woman and you always give me the strength to tackle project I otherwise couldn"t dream about doing. Keep up the good work. Love this.
Good morning, Laura ☕️As always, very informative and well executed. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Super helpful. My first year doing seedlings and they germinated so fast I didn’t get the domes off early enough. Some are stretching but now I feel relief I have a plan. Great videos!!
I admire and learn from you so much! I especially appreciate your comment at the end that you don't have 100% success every year. It's my first year trying to grow flowers on from corm/bulb and I feel like I have NO IDEA what I'm doing haha finding myself getting a little hung up on the outcome -- this is a nice reminder that my first attempt might just be a learning process and that's awesome, too. it's reassuring to hear that even the pros and someone I consider a magic garden genie don't just nail it perfectly every time. 💚
Thank you Laura 😊I started many seeds for the first time this year thanks to you I've already separated my Shasta daisies 🥰
Morning Everyone 🥰
Good Morning, Laura. . 1st a question -?- What happens to the roots of the plants you clipped off - allowing the stronger plant to exceed? Now: Praise for ALL your abilities - so much Love and Passion for growing plants, your education of each plant, your endurance and positive energy of endurance. One of your strongest attributes is the ability to control your 'touch' with each plant - giving the proper touch to each! I've seen you be so tender to some and yet stronger touch to others. That is a trait we all desire to have ---- to read our plants --- to make them all Happy and Pretty like you do. Thank you. Pray you are enjoy LENT.
Have a wonderful day Laura and family.
If only I watched this earlier! I kept my dome on my seeding and woke up this morning to a fuzzy seedling that’s mush now 😢 thank you for helping us all! So generous of you!
The seedlings are progressing so well! 🙂
Good morning Laura,
I would like to thank you for all the wonderful videos you make that are filled with so much knowledge and bliss. I want you to know that watching your videos first thing in the morning before starting my day it's a routine of mine. 😇
At this current time I live in a condo with a pretty nice size balcony. Where I have a good amount of plants that I have in pots. However it's never enough when it comes to having plants for me.😊 I can't wait to have a house so that I can have a beautiful garden or should I say gardens. 😁 As well as having a greenhouse so that I can do all of my gardening work that I would very much enjoy and love doing. It's something that I've always loved since I can remember. But I want to let you know that you are an inspiration to so many people, and at this time even though I don't have my house and gardens as well as a greenhouse. I very much enjoy following/ watching your videos on UA-cam and learning new things about plants and techniques . I also enjoy watching the videos of your Mom, sister and you going shopping at the antique shops and having fun. You ladies really know how to have fun. Let's just say we have a lot in common. There was one time that I jokingly told my husband that you're my sista from another mista. Lol...😊😇 I at least want to say that you are my sister through our Lord and you truly are a blessing. So may the Lord bless you always with great health, good fortune and an abundance of happiness to you and all of your family. 🥰😇
P.S.
My husband and I have been talking a lot in planning to take a road trip to Oregon in late Spring early summer to see all of the wonderful beauty that is Oregon. It was supposed to happen last year and we never got the chance to make it happen. We would also very much love to go to Andrew's Seed CO ane meet you in person if possible. I unfortunately missed my opportunity to have the meet and greet with you when you came to the Seattle Convention Center this year. 😔 I truly hope I get the chance to meet you when we go to Oregon and visit your parents garden shop as I mentioned before. It would be such a wonderful pleasure and honor to meet you. 🤗😇
Wishing you and your family a beautiful and blessed day! 😇🌞
Respectfully,
Sandy Colón-Pierce
It’s going to be an awesome year! Lots of beautiful plants to come.
Hi Laura, I live in Olympia WA and just came across your videos and I really love and enjoy your videos! You are so detailed and make it look so easy for beginners like me lol. I really appreciate your awesome videos I get so intrigued I forget to "like" them but I do love them lol. Thanks and have a great day!!
I’m so excited to see what this year looks like with all this rain we’ve been having! Your plants are probably loving it.
Question: So you're potting this in the tunnel with no grow lights. Your plants look great. So you don't worry about low level sunny days at this time of year? The grow lights say the plants need up to 16 hours of light a day but many days at this time of year are overcast or raining in your setup. Can you speak to that please. I learn so much from you.
Can't wait for planting this year!! 😍😍
Hi Laura, I love watching your channel. It really inspires my own gardening endeavours.
Since you usually plant a generous number of seeds for each flower, wouldn’t it be easier to just plant one seed per cell? Thinning or separating seems such a lot of work, especially as you usually have excellent germination rates.
Great watch! Thanks for being so informative.🌱🌱🌱
Thank you for teaching me most of what I know.
Good morning Laura and family
Oh my there going to look fantastic can't wait to see these seedlings fully matured and blooming, I'm not a seedlings girl, I want the full grown plant lol but, it's good to watch how it's done thank you Laura for sharing. Have a wonderful rainy day 💦🙂👋🌱
Great video, as always, and thank you for speaking more on leggieness and how to correct it. Question: what is the green stuff growing on top of the seed trays (moss?) why does it happen, and is it harmful?
This is the video I was looking for when I started my seeds in march. First year trying to start flowers from seed and oh my goodness the amount I’ve learned already. Didn’t thin properly, they’re so leggy because they didn’t get enough light, and planted outside too soon (two weeks ago in the South). None of them were strong enough at all. Hoping at least 20 of the 100 will do something. Considering starting more seeds with all your information!! Thank you!
Thanks for all the Details and Information about Seedlings Treatment. Very useful and much appreciated. ✂️🌿☘🌱🤩
So Laura, when you are by yourself early evening, do you listen to music and have a cocktail when you are tending to your plants? I enjoy 60s music and a beer. What do you enjoy? Just wondering and having a bit of fun with you!😊
Thank you Laura, I’m a newish gardener and love learning from your experience. My Lisianthus are struggling, 12 of 96 cells have life after nearly a month. Snapdragons and yarrow are doing well.
Thanks for the information. I'm trying growing my own flowers from seeds this year. So far they are all doing great but as you said, you have to be diligent and keep an eye on them daily.
Green is such a beautiful color! 💚 🍃💚🍃💚
Laura and Aron, You might consider putting a splash pad in the center of the gardens where you were marking out the circles a couple of weeks ago. You wouldn't have to worry about anyone drowning as they are pressure sensitive. They come in all colors and if anyone could make something beautiful around that where it was disguised from the outside, it's definitely you! If you're worried about too much sun exposure on their young skin, you could design a shade screen to go over it. Not the tarp looking things, think 1920's vintage Paris circus big-top structure vibes, (old world) that would play really well with the Heartley. You could train vines up the supports and remove the shade screen in the winter. You'd never get the babies out of there!!! Best to all of you!
Thanks for the tips, I am new at this, and it's been years since I have been in a garden
This video was packed with awesome content. Thanks, Laura
Lots of great information Laura. Thank you!🌿💕🌱
Love these types of videos! I am still learning about different plants even though I have been gardening for years. I appreciate the information you give us. I was so excited today. I got some garden areas ready to plant. I transplanted my daffodils as they weren’t getting enough light. Which is strange. They were in the same area. I am starting some seeds indoors already. Our weather has been crazy. Thanks for all your videos.
You have the gift of patience.
Wonderful lesson. Would like to see more transplanting.
Laura, thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge of seedlings! This is my second year growing my own plants and it is still a mystery. You really have such a beautiful patience with your plants! I am growing sunflowers and they are about 2.5 inches tall so i hope they aren’t reaching for light since I have good lighting. Thank you for all your time teaching me about plants!
Thanks for this video!!! My seedlings are about the same as yours-now I know what to do!!!! Thanks sooo much!!!! And I didn’t realize I needed to fertilize my babies!!!
Another great, detailed instructive video!
I also thank you for explaining your process and updates on seedlings. I’m also a first time flower gardener from seed. 🌱🌱
Good morning, Laura! Thank u for this video, so much useful information. Have a blessed day!
I’m so glad I saw this video! I planted zinnia seeds and they hadn’t germinated yet. I left for 2 days and when I came home they had germinated and were so leggy! I have to wait a few days and then I will replant deeper. I was so sad and now I’ve got something to try that may work! Thanks Laura.
I wish you would show how to plan a flower bed start to finish. What shrubs, perennials, bulbs go together to crate a 4 season flower bed.
You really got a lot done! Love it!
you know, I have a unheated/non electric glass window DIY (Hothouse)Greenhouse & I start seeds mid-late Feb here in zone 6B & have great luck....it is March now & we are still getting frost/freezes here too. I use NO heat mats, no heat lamps, my GH is NOT air tight for sure (DIY). I do use covered seed trays however. I think sometimes seed starting can get overcomplicated...I would love to see you do some experimenting on this, just for fun! HAPPY GARDENING everyone!
This video was amazing. The information was super helpful. I have watched your videos for years and have never commented, but this time I felt it was warranted. Great information. Thank you for al of your videos through the years, but especially this one!
I have greenhouse envy..
I always struggle with seeds, but keep trying! Very helpful video. 😊
I love Gardener's supply for tuteours and trellises!❤
Why is it important to start with seed start mix, instead of just starting with potting mix? Can you mention the differences and some pros and cons?
You mentioned fertilizing at full strength once a week when the seedlings are more robust and have a second set of true leaves. Is this how you fertilize the full-grown plants, too- once a week at full strength? Thanks so much for all the helpful info! I started geraniums from seed after watching you start yours and am enjoying the journey!
Good morning all have a safe and blessed day 🥰
I love your videos.
I planted Hollyhocks, echinacea and iris, at our mountain home, there has been so much rain and snow we haven't been able to go up and check them as yet. I hope they were able to make it.
Thanks so much for showing us what can be done for leggy seedlings! I appreciate that info.
Super informative post- thank you!! You’ve motivated me to do some more thinning and general care of my seedlings 🌱 ❤
Wow! Your greenhouse is looking so amazing! All those gorgeous plants. I have to admit I’m a little jealous of all those geraniums. I will have to put it on next years list.
This video was SO helpful! Thanks as always for providing such a thorough explanation for us beginners! Question -- do you also need to thin/fertilize, etc. seedlings being grown in winter sowing containers?
What a fun project! Can’t wait to see the raised beds, which I would love to have!
Useful information! Thank you! I always used to pop my seeds in the same hole, but your way is much better. I'm lazy so I better get more thinning done. I think I just hate killing viable plants :D
Exactly what I needed to learn this morning! Thank you! I do have a question though. Do you fertilize your annual and perennial seedlings the same? Just curious since I fertilize my annual plants once a week but use slow release fertilizer for my perennials when they are planet outside for the season. Thank you for all the knowledge you share! I tell everyone about Garden Answer ❤️🌱
Got my glimpse o’russell!❤. Thought he might be MIA but he put in a brief appearance 😊
Thank you for sharing the brand of fertilizer you are using on your seedlings. Although it may be common sense to experienced folk starting plants from seed I really appreciate you explaining in detail why you are doing a specific task.
Good morning! 🌻🐝
Hi Laura! Thanks for sharing!
