Indoor-sown plants need tender loving care to flourish. Show your seedlings some love and you’ll see them grow into beautifully strong and productive individuals.
From moving them into roomier living quarters to making the potentially stressful transition to life outdoors, your plants rely on you for more than just moral support.
In this short video we’ll show you how to care for your seedlings every single step of the way.

I use Winter Sowing here near Gettysburg, PA to start most of my seeds, but I like the idea of using a row covering to protect from frost, never have tried this before. Will this year.
I treid "winter sowing" method this yr for 1st time. I re-used milk jugs with handle, cut 95% to leave a hinge, (leave enuf room to allow-4" soil) make holes top/bottom, fill, sow, tape jug back tog and remove spout lid, set in sunny space. (dont forget to label) 2 wks later, today, they're germinating.. yay. A short video demonstration would be good for those itching to get into the dirt, which I see you are too. lol happy planting
Related but a bit off-topic: We use hoop houses with floating row covers to shelter brassica transplants. This allows us to plant them about a month ahead of schedule. It also deters aphids, a real scourge in our area for cauliflower and broccoli. The challenge is our windy garden spot. The row covers can get damaged and if they are not patched quickly, those pesky aphids move right in. We've also used no-see-um netting for the same purpose, but even the UV treated polyester mesh gets brittle after one season's exposure to sunlight. And yes, we've introduced ladybugs and sprayed off aphids – but once they get into the broccoli crowns and cauliflower heads, it's a lost battle.
Does anyone have recommendations for sturdier row cover material? Something that lets in as much light as, say Agribon 19, and is sturdy enough to last several seasons?
Thank you for the informative videos and viewer comments.

Nice let's go gardening. Come and do it today
I greatly enjoy your videos. Very informative but also concise and exactly on point.
Genuinely the best 'short and snappy' gardener on YouTube
Thank you. Very informative.
I am starting my seedlings to grow during autumn and winter in subtropical Australia, the best time here for most annual vegetables. No waiting for soil to warm up, just waiting for cooler weather to slow down the pests.
Thanks again! Watching this gives me more confidence to do it….tried to separate out some self seeded parsley yesterday, so hard to keep some of the soil on the roots. Ugh.
Thankyou
How do I stop my plants being eaten by snails… Every time I try growing vegetables they get eaten by pests. Pls help
I really enjoy your videos. Very helpful for my plantings.
Thank you.
simply thank you
Ben, is there a recommended size of pots to transplant seedlings to, from a plug tray of 2×2 cells? My marigolds have their first 2 sets of true leaves and the weather outside is not yet ready for them, hence thinking of moving them to larger pots for now. Really appreciate your bite-sized videos – watch for 5 min and get cracking for rest 25 minutes rather than spend all that time watching a how to video!
I acclimate them outside first and then I moved them into to my race bed
Is it best to prick out in damp watered soil or leave it to dry a little?
Your videos are literally the best informative gardening videos I have ever seen!!
I planted out radish, spring onion and shallot seedlings this week, and covered with fleece, just as you advised! We have a lot of pigeons and other birds always on the lookout for titbits.
Thanks for this video. I ripped and killed four basil seedlings >.<
Is this guy on tv? If not, he should be! Very engaging and very helpful. Perfect!
Good information no mumbo jumbo straight to the point about to pot on my viola
Thanks!
Ben, do you grow celery? The store ought in USA is horrid. Bitter, and.
Chemical. Thank you. Love the videos. Cheer me up in January.
This year I’m making t pees of copper, and antennas as well. It’s called electroculture and is causing seeds to sprout early and promotes growth. Also, supposed to improve soil and cut back on bad bugs. We shall see. I’ve been following you for years, and now implementing your knowledge with new. Thank you Ben
