  1. I am curious about over fertilizing tomatoes, Luke. I used half strength fish emulsion on my tomato seedlings every 7 days, and now they look a bit fried. It’s time to plant them out here in Michigan. Will they recover? Is there anything I can do to help them?

  2. 8:48 I love ya Luke but I took a plant physiology class recently and what you are describing is diffusion. Not Capillary action. Capillary action is what drives water up a stem.

  3. Love your channel. I'm a beginner and your tips have helped me avoid mistakes before they happen. The tips have also helped me when I couldn't avoid those mistakes. Your a lifesaver

  4. I have a quick question, what do you recommend I put in my garden to prevent as much weeds as possible from coming up if not some then all would be amazing. I’ve tried landscape fabric but was a pain trying to make holes only big enough to put the plants in. I made them to big and weeds and grass ended up coming through where the stems of the plants are. I have tried straw but grass and weeds would come up through that. This year I tried the ez straw and I put a thick layer on thinking it would help but it really hasn’t as much as I’d like. Do you have any other ideas I can do to prevent the weeds/grass from coming up??

  5. Hi I transplant cucumber seedlings they always die after transplanting. Yesterday I transplanted n watered after that but they still died. I had buy new ones today. Earlier ones was from the seed. Can you tell me where was I wrong?

  6. I always transplant just before dusk. My plants seem to appreciate the 12hr or so reprieve before being blasted by the sun. My neighbor always seems to have issues no matter the plant type and I believe it's because he transplants in the not too early morning hours.

  7. Hi there – this is my first raised bed ever. I made a 4 x 8 like yours. Question, can you fit 3 pepper plants in a 1 x 4 area? I have 3 pepper plants, 3 tomato plants and a zucchini plant I am transplanting into a 4 x 8 raised bed. Do you believe I have enough room for all of these plants to fit or should I take the zucchini plant and plant it elsewhere? Thank you for your guidance. I LOVE your channel and it has helped me immensely during these past few years.

  8. I can personally vouch for the faults of planting transplants too deep. I thought you could plant them all like tomatoes. Not even an option. Lol. The first half of our garden we did that, and they were stunted a month or more! Barely alive. Just now, they are starting to grow, a month later. The things we've planted (proper depth) 1 week ago, are 5-10 times the size! I'm considering just pulling those first few rows …

  9. Ooo Kay…I can also vouch for the watering when transplanting. Enuff said….lol
    I can tell you, I've learned so much from this video. Thank you!

  10. Cheers for the info from a noob gardener. Its so funny hearing u talk about how hot it is whilst its early autumn here down under
    90 is only a taste of how hot it gets in my home state where it can hit 115 and higher
    Makes me miss it love it

  11. Every time it's supposed to rain I go "oh I don't have to water the garden." And then it doesn't rain, and I forget. So I just water it anyway, and then of course it rains.

  12. Do most of you buy plants to start your gardens? I am a new gardener with only fence line containers currently. I'm curious as I start all but my tomatoes as direct sow seed.

  13. Our weather is all over the place. Very late spring, a couple of heatwaves then 20c. In July I put a cover over the tomatoes as it got down to 5c at night lol. In August it got to 37c. Luckily I have a greenhouse and a conservatory (sort of) and using pots. Temperature is the only thing I’m metric on, sorry ☺️

  14. Just an IDEA: Plant those seedpack babies into warmish, watered soil in just a little bigger container – and water of course – and put back in garage or shade but not that baking, cooking sun. Then when the temp comes down a bit, you can put that whole clump into your garden (water well first to keep the clump together), but the roots wont be disturbed.
