Thinning is the job nobody likes doing but one that you must do to ensure healthy seedlings and a healthy garden. We don’t like to do it, but if we don’t the chances of disease, overcrowding, and stress increase greatly.

Are you thinning seedlings? Have you ever tried to plant all the seedlings? If so, how'd that turn out for you?
How do you know if you do or dont need to thin the type of flower you r growing?
How do I choose which one gets the clip? My tomatoes both look amazing, and I am torn between which one to snip out!
hey new to your channel, I started a patio garden this year. I'm glad you talked about thinning seedling, It was tough for me to do it. I felt like I was picking the best child…tears. I do love your channel and all the info, TFS
I thin but sometimes I can transplant them if some did not sprout in another cell.
It makes a lot of sense 🙂
Does basil need to be thinned? Or can I leave two or three seedlings together? Thanks!
I've used my fiskars micro tip pruners for 5 years now it has never failed me
this is my first year to grow from seed. I gave up on my first batch of tomato seeds (some I harvested the year before) and threw that old dirt out into the pots I was going to use once the weather warmed. Started new seeds inside, got starters potted up that are just about ready to go into my really big pots but meanwhile I have a bunch of scrawny, sun deprived seedlings in the big pots because the old seeds finally sprouted… so my thinning is imminent…
I sowed about 15 seeds in a pot and they all germinated. It hurt to thin them out but I know it’s for the best. I wasted a some seed too. I’m learning.
I just got my first Bonsai growing kit. I was reading to thin the seedling and it’s funny how you said “it hurts your heart to thin them” or something to that effect. Because that’s exactly how I am feeling. I was kinda scared to do it. But seeing how it was done and the reason behind it makes me feel like I can do it. I’m a supper beginner. Like literally just started this today. But I’m super excited about my Bonsai journey and I can wait to reap the rewards!! Thank you for this video.
Do you need to thin coriander seedlings?
I like to either use plug trays or multi seed pony cells with seeds spaced far apart. Then when they get big enough I will give them their own cell. That way I can get more sprouts from a 4 cell pony that are easier separate if they all sprout. I can say separating is tedious. Then again so is potting up. When I only have 20 seeds they are all going to be given a chance to grow.
I just did this to my seedlings this morning. Sad day, but in the end I hope I selected the right one to thrive. #firstyeargarden oh and I used some nose hair trimmers that don't get used to thin and tweezers to pick up the little trimmed off seedlings haha
can't you pick them and re pot them ?
never mind you answered that question in video lol
My seedlings are a bit on the big side, but I'm gonna take the plunge. The urge to try and split them up is strong but i don't have more dirt. and there's still snow outside.
Luke I am a big fan of your channel, you have provided such a wealth of knowledge that has been greatly useful to me so I would like to say thank you so much! This will be my first year starting from seeds, and my family and I are very excited by the process. Will be starting thinning this weekend, which in truth feels pretty painful having seen all these seeds sprout up amd do so well but I know the ends will justify the means. Thank you again for all of your great information and God bless you and your family!
Should I thin out raddish and beans?
Would you thin out purple cone flowers seedlings?
How soon do we start to thin?
Can I pull and trasplant? Like tomato, cucumber, zucchini. It hurts so much

Hello, I have about twenty planted clusters of hot pepper plants that needed thinning. After watching your video I now have the courage to go kick some peppers out of town. Thank you
I currently have twenty-five tender green green bean bush plants. Do I need to trim thes bushes.
I washed and ate all the seedlings I cut off as sprouts and they were so tasty… so that way I didn't feel so bad.
“Survival of the fittest” is a part of nature that determines which plant continues, not how much yield a gardener will get.
Thank you! I am starting some things pretty early because I live in a higher altitude microclimate on a mountain in zone 4b new hampshire and it's been a weird winter so the ground could take time to thaw. How many seedlings should I leave per cell in the 3" pots? I hope I didnt make a mistake by starting things in that size like basil and kale. I had already bought a bunch when i did artichokes because they need a bigger pot so I figured it wouldn't hurt.
