Start Your Vegetable Seeds Indoor Early To Get A Jump Start On Spring! In temperate climates, the growing season is often just not long enough to get the most out of your tomato, peppers, cucumber, or other warm weather crops. For the plants to flower, fruit, and produce for you, they need a specific amount of warm days to reach maturity to be able to give us the veggies we so love.
So gardeners like you and I start our seeds early indoors to hit the ground running in the spring with transplants that are already 2+ months old! Easy stuff! In the previous video I showed you the tools and items you’ll need to successfully start your seeds indoors: (https://youtu.be/9frbNGcizjc). In this video, let’s dive deeper and see what it takes to really get that good batch of early plants so that your summer garden is the best it possibly can be!

Would you cover how close the light should be to the plants and stuff like that. I have plenty of light but my plants some times get tall and skinny. Should the light come closer or do i want to lift it up? thank you.
Did you mean to not mention print catologues? Shame.
Will bio-sponges work for sprouting?
I viewed your series of videos (wonderful job) and I have a few questions. The tomato seeds that I purchased have an expiration date of one year. Why?? In your experience, have you successfully germinated seeds after the expiration date?? I have fluorescent (F15) lights, for plant and aquarium, approximately 11 inches over the 72 cell seed starting trays with dome. I planted Jan. 4 and germination started Jan. 15. I followed your instructions carefully, thank you. Can I turn-off the lights at times; or should the lights be on all the time?? Please advise.
Thank you very much for all the great edible gardening tips. God bless you and your family
Ask question why my lettuce are taste so bitter I don't know why I use potting mix soil. Or they need a specific oil for them?

This is a super awesome & informative video, so happy I found your channel. New subscriber here. I just got my seed order and I’m just waiting for my rack and grow lights. So excited to get started, I’m rubbing my hands together watching this video. Thanks for that. Cheers, Chad from Coldwater, Ontario.
Norm, here. Sir, great video! Question: I can germinate seeds like a wizard. Even peppers. I can grow my seedlings to wonderful plants for transplanting to my garden. But, that stage between germination and seedling with first set of TRUE leaves (not cotyledons), I struggle with. So many of my germinated seeds die. Some die of damping off. Too wet. So, I let dry out more, and a day later — dead because the soil dried out. Online guides say to let the top dry, then water when needed….great; how do you know when that is? Top is dry, so I water, plants die of damping off. I DON'T water when top is dry, and the starter pod dries out and they die from lack of water. The soil does not dry out evenly. Sometimes one cell is dry and the next is wet!! So Frustrated! Guides also say to check moisture 2" deep, then water if dry — that's a garden test, not a seed pot test! One site said to use a chop stick — very silly. Another place said to use a moisture tester; again, o.k. for garden but not a seed starting cell. So, How Do YOU know when to water the cells after germination between the germination and seedling stage? Norm

Thanks
