With Vegetable Gardens, Plant Spacing Is The First Thing We Should Think About. Plants start out very small, and too often we plant them close together, not wanting to see unsightly empty spaces in our garden. The mistake however, is that plants grow, often beyond what we imagine them to. And the spacing they experience as young plants quickly evaporates and over crowding ensues.
In this video, I show you the two common mistakes we make when spacing our plants, both for direct seeding and planting starter plants. As well, I go through the three factors that we need to consider when spacing out our crops to ensure maximum success.

Thank you.
What do you do with the remaking straw at the end of the season?
Last year, I grew my stuff in fabric pots. In my 20 gal tomato pot, I planted my Early Girl tomato, three cucumber plants, some marigolds and nasturtiums. The cucumbers and tomatoes produced fairly well. The nasturtiums and marigolds, not so much. Don't get me wrong, the flowers did bloom; but, they did not spread out and flourish the way the nasturtiums and marigolds did in the other pots. I don't think they got enough sun; but, the tomatoes and cucumbers did.
When are you going to give an update and show us some pictures of the onions you're regrowing? You started them over 3 months ago and a lot of us are curious what's happening with them lol!
Wow ur the greatest
How do you germinate?
have you ever grown Jicama?
Wish I had seen this video before planting…I started my first garden this year before doing any research; my cantaloupe is growing all over the place; I didn’t know how many squash one plant would produce…I planted 14! Now that I know which plants are vines, which will spread out, which are vertical growers, I look forward to planting next year! I love your method of tying tomatoes, I used twine and bamboo stakes; I’m 30 and I think I’ve found a new hobby; I love gardening! Thanks so much for your informative videos!
awesome vid man!
Just curious those are pretty huge plants for such tiny containers. Do you think You might have problems with the root system not able to fully recover because of the taproot being twisted around such as what happens when you have large plants in small containers especially young ones. It causes a lot of issues with the root system and the plant is not able to fully grow to its full genetic value. Are usually do air pruning. It really helps develop a great Root system
What a great video. I really needed to see this one. I’ll apply it soon. Thanks.
What do you do for watering? I have raised beds and rain water with low pressure. Thinking about drip irrigation. Would love a watering video.
Hi Jeff, another great video. I'm watching your videos chronologically now so that I don't miss any.
Just a quick note on peppers. I've found over the years that it's better to plant 2 peppers in a pot or space. Each single plant may have a reduced yield,
but combined they produce much more than they would alone, and it saves so much space. To stop unwanted cross breeding I isolate the flowers with little cloth bags before they open. Take care…
I have beefsteak tomatoes, jalapenos and 1 bell pepper that I need to plant. Can I out all three of these types of plants in 1 garden bed?
Better to use cardboard than colour newspaper as the dyes are toxic
