Thank you Sir!

Great info and websites, thanks! BTW, Happy Springtime!:-)
I do winter sow in bottles – works better for me – good luck with the snow fall
I was dead on accurate with my math and zones and such. But my problem is that I'm going to be late getting my tomato plants transplanted. Your reason was a power failure and mine is that I didn't provide enough light to my seedlings and they are very leggy. But my question is this. Would it be a good/bad idea to start a deep root plant (sunflowers for example) in between where my tomatoes will eventually go to further condition the soil? My soil looks beautiful underneath my leaf mold but I was wondering if there was something more I could do for my soil since I'm going to be several weeks late with my tomatoes. Last resort for me is having to buy tomato plants but I'd rather not do that.
What do you think of soil blocks?
I live in Ky and we have 8.5 inches of snow today. Very unusual. Like your web sight.
Thanks for another great video. Instead of some worm castings I will try total worm castings. I love to experiment.
i had my experiment in my little greenhouse of glass this year and last week all my pepper en tomatotos died… to bad i didnt took pictures
Sorry. One more question if I may. What about direct sowing (corn for example) It says that I should set out corn transplants 0 to 2 weeks after last frost date. But since I won't be transplanting since I'm direct sowing, how do I know when to direct sow? Probably a silly question since I'm a new gardener but I'll be doing a lot of direct sowing this year and I'm a little confused. Or is there another calculator somewhere for crops that will be directly sowed into the soil?
Good info thanx for showing us. Boy that Johnny's site is good they have been popping up allot easy to see why.
This year is the perfect lesson for planting dates. Our last frost date was Feb 28 zone 8b but its been a very cold March So I'm going by soil temp and its working fine.I found a list of Minimum and ideal temps for plants. didnt use a black tarp but some black compost and a few black rocks seem to do the trick. I know I'm not you with all the nor'easter's but try growing when its 80h to 50l one week and the next is 60h 30l the next. My plants are so confused this year
Great information as always! Thanks!
Germany's weather is about a month off this year; things that were sprouting and blooming this time last year still look dead. I can't find a planner like that for Europe, though, so to be on the safe side I'm starting everything late. Last year, the last frost was on the night of 28/29 May and this year is even colder. All I have in the ground right now is salsify, frost-resistant lettuces, spring onion, spinach and a couple other things. I don't have a greenhouse or room in the house to grow a lot indoors, so I'll have to be cautious this year and have patience.
Stay warm!
Thanks for the video. Great as always! My 12 year old is taking on all the initial planting this year.
I've decided to take some frost risks, with backups. Our last frost date is mid-April here in London, so I'll put things in from the start of April – but I'll have more seedlings in reserve to replace any that don't make it through to mid-April for whatever reason. That way I figure a few might get through and be quite advanced.
The only reason I watched this one was because it was you! Good info.
Another great gardening video thanks so much
Thank you for the info!
Fantastic video, Mark. Was wondering….do you think the "watering from below" wicking method would also work with soil, or is it better just for leaf mould? I have the good fortune of living next to an old barn lot and have access to tons of rich soil, but I can also use leaves if they are a better option. Thank you!
