Great advice! I love that hoe! What is it called so I can get one?
Spring fever jumped the gun my seed potatoes sprouts were about 5 inches long and were in danger of breaking off. I guess my cool dark place was not dark enough. Soooooo what did I do in 2022 but planted all my seed potatoes. Oh my freezer and snow. I am afraid to look and most likely not survivable.
Can you send a link of where you purchased your containers for your worm farm?
Thank you
My only compliant in this video is it’s so rushed
10 mimutres talk slower better
this chap looks like a brussel sprout, a nice one.
I have grown some seeds in trays and now need to separate them. What next stage potting up compost mix is good for new seedlings?
I love watching gardening videos. I always pick up something from them as I did with this one. When I transplant anything, I fill the hole with water, let it drain into the soil,, then put the transplant in, cover it and water from above.
I am so excited to finally start a garden! The gardening tool looks like exactly what I need!
The biggest mistake I made was assuming because I could grow one type of plant that I could grow any plant so make sure you do lots of research not only the type of plant but the specific variety you've picked out
The thought of another rock hard, tasteless, hydroponic TESCO tomato just fills me with horror. So I am embarking on some organic veg gardening. Happy growing everyone!
Tip: Plant what you like to eat 🙂 and zucchini will make you feel like a super gardener
If you buy dried coconut coir you can leave them in a 10 gallon canvas bag with another inverted on top and place them in a puddle of rainwater. They will absorb all the water they need through the canvas.
Things like lettuce I plant em a few weeks apart so it doesn't all mature at same time that way every week or two thought the summer fall I've got a couple fresh heads of lettuce every couple weeks There's certain things you don't wanna plant to many at same time or you'll be giving it away or chucking it in compost lol
It would be great if someone inboxed me now
Started my first veg patch during lockdown (literally the only benefit I can see from lockdown!) but I've always watered daily (well most days!) so your tip of watering hard once a week is interesting. I'll try that and see how it goes. Potatoes, carrots, spinich, chard went very well but tried adding in leeks last year and they were tiny.
Thanks for this video
Our local Community House has a harvest table. You bring along any excess produce, or seeds etc and swap for something else. Everything is free. It stops food waste and builds Community.
Thanks for the tips!
Good advice. Now I can advise my friends on how to start to start their vegetable gardens

Here’s an alternative exotic vegetables and fruit garden. https://youtu.be/AEEgOuvZyYE
What about adding fencing underneath and around so groundhogs don’t get into it?
Don't be hung up on expensive gear and equipment.
Opt for sowing seeds rather than buying seedlings or even bigger plants.
Reuse and repurpose what you already have.
Don't throw away year-old seeds. Even old seeds can be useful and you can test their sprouting ability by wetting paper adding the seed and putting it in a ziplock bag.
Reusing old soil by sifting to make sure roots and grubs are taken out, then use in the bottom of beds and planters to save on compost.
Take note of damaging pests and protect the plants rather than having to intervene with chemicals later. Delaying plantings or even changing the variety to a more resistant plant will help prevent much heartache.
Only grow what you CAN grow for your zone. If you don't have access to a greenhouse, cold frame, or the like you invite failure.
Learn from failures. Tweak your methods. Don't be shy to ask your neighbor gardeners about your local situation.
I have been a hobby gardener for 13-plus years now. I still learn new things often, and even more, after starting to watch these videos.
My tip: ask for help finding people and gardening organizations at your public library. My library now has a "seed library" housed in a vintage card catalog, and visitors can take or share their seeds–a great resource.
What kind of hoe is that?
Have to buy seed pots celeriac and other seeds money damn it!

Start small and get that under control, then expand.
