How many hrs light inside and length of day?
Really happy with the seed order we got from you!. Broccolini is sprouting already!
These early spring videos are so helpful for me! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us!!
My wife is asking "How do keep the rabbits, deer, etc. away from your plants? I don't see any fencing around your property or netting on your beds."
Thank you. I rad that every beet seed has many plants for one seed> Is this true?
Question: how many inches did you leave between your spinach plugs? Thank you for your excellent videos! Have a great week!
Ummmm. If I'm in central Texas, is it too late to start a garden?? Lol.
I've done it this way for the past 3 years now and I've had much success. I try to keep them in a shady area for a few days before I put them out into the sun.
Can you show us your grow room setup with lights and links to where we can purchase lights? I would love to successfully get my plants mature enough to be planted outside once its nice enough!
What are the dimensions of your beds? 4' x 16'?
A semi related question: I started growing hot peppers indoors through the fall and winter. I want to move them outside for the winter, but I have 2 problems. First, I don't want to overwhelm them with sun/heat/wind. Second, I live in a very wooded area and I'm worried about insects and birds devouring them. Any tips or suggestions are welcome. Also they're in containers at the moment, but I've thought about moving them to a small raised bed
Hi Luke. My cherry tomatoes are in containers and about a week ago experienced some chill injury when they were outside overnight. Since then I’ve had them inside and new bright green leaves are coming up. Should I pinch off the lower grayish curled leaves and add more soil?
Luke – what type of weather kept you form putting those pea plants out? I believe (not 100% positive) peas can withstand a bit of frosty mornings, and chilly temps. I seeded indoors in a tiny indoor greenhouse with grow light and put them out right about the first of April and they are now right around 4 feet tall. I live in hardiness zone 7b in VA – however we have some wet/chilly & windy conditions in the early spring. Peas did fine being sown early here. Thanks for your reply. Oh yeah – request a complete growing guide on egg plants – if you can. I've successfully grown egg plants that produce zero fruit for two years. Oddly – my seedlings take forever to do anything beyond the first true leaves – and when they finally do grow – no fruit. Any help would be so very welcome. 🙂
Were out of the threat of frost
polar vortex: hold my beer
What other seeds can you "multi sow"?
I love how you can dig a planting hole with only your fingers (even freezing fingers). Shows how wonderful your soil can be with lots of compost.
Why don't you get a stool to sit on while gardening
I planted seeds in my soil blocks but they have been in a cool and damp environment for the past week are they rotted or can they still germinate now that I moved them to a warmer environment?
Wouldn’t that be an excellent use for shade cloth?
Snowing right now next 13 days lows of 45-54 highs of 56-70
A way I have seen and am trying for starting peas, is to get a length of eaves trough and plant your peas into it at the spacing you want. sprout them, hoe a trench and gently shunt the peas, soil and all, into the trench. you can plant them without disruption.
Do you succession grow peas? Do they not produce for that long?
I need to find a trellis – where do you find the ones you have?
It works for me. I have done this. Thanks for sharing. !
I could not find a carrot growing guide… containers maybe but otherwise not. What do they grow well with?
These cooler crops won't go into shock by a good 30 degree change with no gardening? I've been wondering how to harden broccoli, cauliflower, etc.
Can I plant Bok Choy out now, cool and overcast here for next few days
I'm very confused. You're just planting them without hardening them off?
I’m doing this right now. Thanks.
Why did you start these inside? Seems like nearly everything you planted was stuff you have said to NOT start inside…. beets, lettuce, peas, spinach… I was wondering what the reasons were.
