    Great ideas, Luke! One I came across from a local Gardner friend of mine was to use clear (see through) shower curtains. I bought some from Walmart and have been using them to help germinate seeds outdoors bc the temps are still somewhat cold and they act like a little greenhouse for the seedlings, light can get through and it provides the warmth/humidity for them, bonus is that they only cost me about $4 a piece.🥰🥰

    I used the cardboard trick to get my carrot seeds I ordered from you to germinate. 🤩 Since I'm a newby gardener and can't tell the difference between seeds sprouting and weeds, I use toilet paper rolls to remember where I planted cabbage seeds and buttercrunch lettuce seeds I ordered from you. I dig a hole, put an empty TP roll in, put some soil in, place a couple of seeds in, then add more soil on top.

    I’ve been gardening for almost forty years and I began with direct sowing of everything except tomatoes and peppers. I’ve been working for years on starting seeds inside under lights and in a small greenhouse. Watching you now almost makes me miss direct sowing. Almost! Too many variables and I’m too old to thin and weed constantly. I have found I really enjoy the greenhouse and seed starting in a standing position. I love your videos and occasionally learn something, just proves you’re never too old.

  • @HomesteadForALiving
    @HomesteadForALiving 3 роки тому +12

    I’ve recently changed how I go about sowing, and it’s made my garden incredibly abundant. I lay the seeds in the row, then lay compost between rows. If they don’t germinate within the time they’re supposed to, I simply plant a row of something else. Seeds are cheap/free if you save them. This way I always have something growing. I keep this up year round, mulching around plants constantly with compost

    Thanks for the great tips...especially for carrots. I like to use plastic silverware from the dollar store to mark my rows. Usually plastic knives but don't be surprised to see plastic forks and spoons in the garden too. I also use different colored ones to mark where I want to plant tulip and daffodil bulbs in the fall so I know where my gaps are.

    • @KK7THK
      @KK7THK 3 роки тому

      I cut hundreds of “tags” out of old plastic containers (sour cream, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc). Just cut from the top down to the base, all around the container until you can press it flat (it will look like a kindergarten sunburst craft project) then cut them off around the base. I save all of my containers for seed starting (and for painting and other odd jobs) so I had plenty to chop up.
      An added bonus: the kids were able to take the bases and make mini frisbees LOL
      They should last a few years, and sure beats the $9.99 the local feed store wanted to charge for 30 plant tags!

    @drewsample9610 3 роки тому +1

    I've been heavily sowing radishes and carrots in the same bed at the same time. The radishes grow in fast and provide some shade and moisture to the young carrots. by the time the radishes are a few inches tall and have 5-6 leaves, I thin the radishes to give some more light to the carrots. I also ussualy sow the radish thickly enough that I can taste one every morning, when I check up on them.
    I usually do this in my round raised beds and containers, sowing the carrots and radishes in concentric rings to minimize damage to the carrot roots when I thin the radishes.

    Great tips Luke.
    Thanks for sharing.
    I use the board method too.
    I cut my board approx. 8 inches longer than the outer width of the bed frame and screw a short length of 2x4 (sideways) on each end.
    These blocks prevent the board from slipping off the side rails but still allows the board to stay aligned while being slid down the length of the bed as needed.

About 3 days after I planted the bed I came home to it dug around in by the neighbors' dog... 🤦🏽‍♀️ I might as well have just thrown the seeds in at random, cause no telling where things ended up.

Well that night one of our cows got into the garden and trampled all over that little space where I had planted out the onions.... Couldn't hardly find another spot it had stepped. Animals... They do not care about ruining our hard work! Lol We also had our dogs dig up my freshly transplanted raspberries. I think they see that nice fluffy dirt as a perfect place to dig.

Bummer tho, as I find time lapses way more effective than watching someone just seed something.

      Face plant! Good one! If I bent my knees on that board like that I'd be there till harvest! I'll walk around thanks.

      Haha. A board can also help by giving you something to put one arm on when leaning out.

    @MIgardener. Different subject but I need to ask. I am being over run by squirrels. They are decimating my cabbage and broccoli plants and digging up 50% of my seeds that I planted. I have never had this much trouble. I know its squirrels because I have the whole garden fenced in with chicken wire. and catch them in there everyday. Please help.

    Direct sowing worked for me the first year I tried it. Then after that, insects devour anything before it gets even a new leaf unless I do it in a container or planter.

    Question. If you plant seeds and they don't germinate because its still a little cold will they germinate after it warms up? Or do you have to reseed?

    • @przybyla420
      @przybyla420 3 роки тому

      It depends on the seed. As long as it doesn’t dry out they have a chance, but some tend to rot especially in cold wet soils. Squash family survive well.

    I use flags in my garden. Even where I have a small plant so I don't step on them. I call it " fun with flags"

    I wish the cardboard method worked in my yard...the rolie polies move under it and take out all the plants just as soon as they emerge.
