Seeds WANT To Germinate! They are built for it. These amazing tiny kernels of life are the starting point of nearly every one of our crops. But every year, without fail, there is failure. Failure to germinate. Failure to continue growth as a seedling. And failure as a crop and thus a waste of our time.
No more. Today let’s look at the 5 most important parameters affecting your germination rates and how we can fix or abide by them to have the best germination rates ever, creating our best crops ever!

Thank you.
One year, when I had a plot at the community garden, I planted peas. When they didn't come up when I expected them to, one of the other gardeners said that the seeds probably got taken by the quail. She suggested that I replant and cover the seeds with some chicken wire and once they sprouted and started showing some growth, I could remove the chicken wire. For some reason the quail left the seedlings alone. Just about everything I planted grew, except for the peas; but, once I learned the reason why and I replanted, even the peas grew. So, if I ever get a chance to plant outdoors again and I want to grow peas, I will cover the seeds with chicken wire.
Another great video! I always use open organic seeds so I can collect the seeds for the following year. When available, I choose heirloom seeds. I think it's important to save those rare seeds and protect our food diversity.
Never did get the many pepper seeds I planted over the summer to germinate. Not a one. Smh
I can germinate a lemon seed easily, but the seedling always dies.
This channel is awesome and it will show you how to grow your own food…
I'm in north Georgia
This is a Little off subject but not/ did you know plants can react and feel and remember. They also know when harm comes to cutting plants even from miles away.

I SIT AND WAIT FOR UUU TOOK UUU LONG ENOUGH LOL
Great video………I start my seeds, I soak over night in a small glass of water, the next day I take a plate with a paper towel wet it down with water from the glass the seeds are in, pour the water and seeds onto the paper towel. Then lay another paper towel over them. Then put it away, in a dark warm place, look at it twice a day making sure they don't dry out.
So I used compost and perlite, at a 4:1 ratio, to grow strawberries. I've only barely covered them with a sprinkle of soil. Not sure if it's the temperature (17-19 celcius at night, 22-25 daytime) or the soil mix, but none came up, I've daily sprayed gently some surface water and it's been 12 days. What should I improve? I have a feeling its the soil.
NOTE: these aren't the alpine variety.
Just wondering what's the slowest germinateing seed out there and how long and what is the blunt end of the seeds is it that pointy part as there is a seeds I need to plant at the blunt end facing downwards
I'm very curious about what zone you are in and how cold it get where you are. I watched your videos on rosemary and over wintering them and peppers. I'm in zone 4a in northern new york state usa. I might try your technique. Really like your videos!
HELLO, THANK YOU FOR A GREAT VIDEO! I have a couple of questions…How do you feel about heating pads? Also, I am planning to get mylar paper based on your recommendation, but is it OK to get folded sheets or a roll? I've seen some comments that say that the folded sheets create hot spots.
Thanks I always enjoy and learn things from your videos. ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Beans germinate at 18°Celsius. In my view, the choice of a good timing to transplant from germination soil small pots to garden or compost bigger pots is very important.
Thank yo , this is one of the most useful videus I've seen on youtube. Yes seeds are important to life. Thanks. All I have to add is birds and squirrels
You don't talk about cold stratification
Only took me 25 years to realise the difference between wet and damp. Lol Hi Canada from Australia.
I have found that the seeds that I have dried personally, will not sprout unless they have at least a month of being alone. You have to let the seeds sit for a while if you want germination. I successfully germinated chocolate cherry heirloom tomatoes but the seeds had been dry for a month. When I tried to sprout seeds that had only been dry for a few days it did not work.
Great intro, the reason i love gardening is exactly same as what you said on the first video
Great tip! I’m going to save this for next year reference
Thanks for presenting good information in a thoughtful way people can use!
This year here in Zone 5 I put out cool-weather crops in late summer. Mixed success so far as with all things gardening. Your carrot example confirms for me this is a good strategy!
My big disappointment this fall has been lacinto (dinosaur) kale. I planted that and red curly kale at the same time and had very low germination with the lacinto. The ones that did sprout died quickly while the curly kale thrived. I figured maybe the company sent me a bad batch of seeds, and tried another company. No luck — of the stuff I direct sowed at that point, only the lacinto kale failed to sprout.
Going to try again indoors and really baby those suckers, but any advice from my fellow gardeners is appreciated.
"No food crop seed last forever" sorry to prove you wrong, spores of mushrooms, can be stored forever , Terence Mckenna said , and if u wanted to u can store them in liquid nitrogen
I start seeds in a medicine bottle.
Then place in soil so it's not a guessing game.
