VIDEO: To Boldly Sow
It’s time that we started to sow some seeds, spring isn’t far away now.
It’s time that we started to sow some seeds, spring isn’t far away now.
gardens, the final frontier, i'm Adam of the allotment enterprise with the continuing mission: to explore strange new plants, to search out new vegetables and new herbs, to boldly sow like no one has sown before.
Hi Adam, I started sowing seeds on the 1st January. I bought a grow light at the same time as I bought a £9.99 Screwfix Lamp. Am I smug? Am I ahead of the game? NO! One seed fired that's all one seed. I ask yer. Trying to catch up failing on each and every turn.
The banana shallots are OK. Still grow the normal shallots. I think there best quality is they store well, that's the banana shallots. Take care Mike B
Oh boy not those pecker peppers…LOL Looks like your well on your way to get something growing over there. Still a few weeks out for me. Never seen that type of sun flower before. Plant some up and give us the scoop on them. I use plain ole T8 cheap shop lights with 6500K builds to get my plants started. Keep us posted on how that spotlight works out for ya.
As soon as the sweet peas poke through, stick them outside in your grow tent, they will be fine, the peppers will have to be kept indoors of course. Great vid mate. Sunflowers? I think you should grow them so we can see you giving it the taste test, maybe a little soil on the side?
Good luck with the seeds Adam.
Cheers
Harold
Man that looked good! So soon for me! Probably could get the sweet peas started as mine seemed to take their damn time last year. Nice little light, should certainly work to get things going. Those pepper have me laughing…again. Who gets to do the taste test :)))
Is your new light LED? If so, aren't LED's the wrong wave length for plants. I bought cheap standard florescent lights for that reason. Not optimal growing lights, but since they give of so much light, enough of it is in the right wave length.
Cool you are planting. Good luck with the seeds. We will see sprouts soon no doubt. Best wishes Bob.
Hi i grew those sunflowers last year i didnt eat them tho …. they were shorter than your usual ones i will try grow again this year and actually eat them.
I sowed some Moneymaker Tomato seeds and Peppers last Sunday and I have in propagators unheated not exactly on a windowsill but on the bench near it. Nothings happened yet. How long do they take. I'm new to growing and gardening and excited to use my new greenhouse.
WTF were those peppers and where can I get the seeds?! I see I can have the best garden party with those bad boys or torment my family with them!
Hi Adam I thought I would jump on the band wagon this year and try and get ahead with sowing my seeds. I have invested in a heated propargator and a grew light. Last week I sowed tomato, sweet peas and peppers are they are all starting to germinate. I am now in the process of setting up a light box.
Hi mate, hope the grow light works for you. Still sitting on my hands with seeds other than the onions and sweet peppers that I’ve planted. Hope your light works well for you. I might try a few sweet peas this year. Never tried edible sunflowers before. Try a few seeds but I’d wait until it warms up before you plant them. Take care. Nick
Outstanding good like with your light blessing
Started tomatoes, hot peppers and herbs last night. 38 pots. 160 to go. I live in southern Indiana.
I need to get a move on, loads to do. Only just potted on my Strawberry runners yesterday. I don't have a greenhouse either at home so here's hoping all goes well. Thanks for sharing.
I'm keen to see how the Peter Peppers grow – I hope they are bigger than average… 😉 I like the seed planting demo and your office vid set-up you've given me some more ideas for my own ch. Cheers mate 🙂
I'm not going to say it… I'm not going to say it… Oh the heck with it…I'm going to say it. "Fluffy picked & pickled a peck of pecker peppers…" lmao… Sorry bud, just couldn't hold back the temptation. Good news… I'm putting in another butternut squash plant this year. Last time I took 35 pounds off of the one plant. Give it a year & seeds will be going your way. I think you planted it out to late last shot you gave it. Also, sugar baby watermelons again. So, I'll have a few extra seeds to send your way. You keep making them. I'll keep watching them. Thanx for the vid.
It was a magnificent episode! I love those camera angles. Now, about those peppers…. : )) Have a great day!
Zebrune.., sounds like an interesting shallot to grow.
Looking foreward to see how they turn out.
This year I've decided to buy a cheap poly-carbonate cold frame via ebay. It gives me about 1m2 of growing space, plus I plan to use it to grow a melon this summer. I'm also thinking about using the large Ikea samla boxes as cold frames. (I'd get a greenhouse, but I'm afraid it would get crushed under the snow.) I always start my seeds on the window sill, no grow lights, with the drawback that I have to start a little bit later and use the limited space as best as possible.
good day to you Adam !! good luck with all that you have sown today !!
I do love to eat sunflower seeds, but I've never eaten any that I've grown. The birds usually get those. I just like growing them. It's a fun time of year!
Hi Adam, lovely bit of instruction on sowing seeds, yes, have eaten the seeds of sunflowers – with the shells off of course… Lol. All the best, Hugh
I almost bout shallots to grow this year but passed on them. I have never grown them before. Do you think that they'd sell at my farmers market?
Chuck
Hey Adam, I'm trying to grow those same shallot from seed as well this year. I will be interested on those sunflowers as to eating the actual flower.. Best of luck on your newly sowed seeds… T
I would be afraid of starting the sun flowers too early. the stem might fall over and deform. But I've never started them inside. I never have room inside for flowers.
