Planting A Garden For The First Time Can Be Confusing. One of the more debated topics, even among seasoned gardeners, is whether to Direct Seed your crops, or use Starter Plants. As if planning out your garden in 2021 wasn’t hard enough!
I firmly believe that both planting methods have their place, and in this video I’ll show you how each is done. I’ll give you 3 advantages for each strategy, and why in that situation, it’s the best choice. Once you have all that information, you can then compare it to your own garden situation, and act accordingly. Works for almost every crop, every climate, every region of the world!

Cool finding you! Facebook suggested I check your group out. This is great!
So in love with your videos you explain everything so well. Than you
A friend from Dallas Texas zone 8a
Love ur facebook group also
Just wondering if! Anyone tried the paper towel method for starting seeds?
Very inspirational, I can't wait to start seedlings indoors. I have my garden all planned. But, I have this habit of changing things a bit when I actually work in the garden. Every year is an adventure.
Another great vid! My Carolina reapers have sprouted using a heat mat set at 85f, a couple are just starting to grow their first set of true leaves. My basement is 65f, when do you suggest I take them off the mat, or turn down the heat? Cheers from the Kootenays!
I checked and I didn’t see a video on this- I would love more info on companion planting! Specifically in pots but there’s lots of info out there and I’d love your input! Like benefits, examples of good pairs, what determines that.. etc
We have always bought our tomato and pepper plants. But this years I've started them from seed now .Then in May we'll buy them too just in case.
I have grown watermelon from seed up here in central WA it sometimes doesn't warm up until some time in June. I start my seeds in peat pots; not pellets unless you can find big pellets. The 4 inch peat pots worked for me. I planted three seeds in each pot. As the seedlings grew, I culled the weakest ones. I usually would end up with one plant in each pot. When the weather was warm enough so that the plants would not freeze to death, I dug holes in the garden and planted one pot per hole then leveled out the soil around the plant. As long as the soil is covering the peat pot and kept adequately watered, it will decompose.
Of course, when I lived in Florida, I just toss watermelon rinds and seeds leftover from eating the fruit into the compost pile and the seeds would find the way to sprout and grow.
HEY MY CORN I PLANTED IS DOING AWESOME PLUS JEWL CORN AND ALL THE SUN FLOWERS TOOOO
NICE SEEING UU MISS WHEN UU DON'T POST LOV WATCHING UUU
JUST TRANSPLANT ALL THE GEM CORNN
This came up at the perfect time! I’m so happy to see you’ve covered grow bags and so many seeding videos. I can’t wait for spring to come along now
We’ve had great success Starting beets in small cell flats as long as u don’t let them get too large. Starting them indoors allows us to either get two crops from our beet bed or have a 4-6 week old start we can plant after we pull our onions late July.
Very cool video.
last year I had trouble hardening off my tomatoes and peppers because they got very big because we got a very cold spell and I could not get them outside. I think it may be better to start them later and get them outside smaller
Great information. Once again all my seeds took, two per 4 inch punnet, all look so healthy I can’t nip off one in each. How do you do it.
Love your videos! I always learn from them, ty
I have watched dozens and dozens of gardening videos with emphasis on growing our own food. Yours is up there in terms of delivery, information, strategies and context. So glad you are making these truthful and informative high quality episodes. Many thanks Jeff. Greetings from Vancouver.
Big thanks àbout your face book website,
I just lost a very good website called Black Bear Community Forum and myself and many loved the website and John Switzer the provider had some sort of problem and gave up,on what was great for most but there must have been a problem.
If you do have to give it up , Well I hope you don't but saying " Thanks for trying and helping folks and myself learning about plants.
Is there a big advantage to hold my Peppers over winter?
I just heard about it this season
