I always learn so much from these! Thank you so much for the free classes!
Ironically I just set up my three tier grow shelf. Great timing
What grow zone are you?
I'm growing a lot of snapdragons this year and now I know to pinch!
You work so hard !! Very proud of your farm !! Congrats to you and your family !!
I feel like I may have significantly under estimated how many snaps I may need.
I tried to grow lisianthus from seed. WASTED money and time. I got maybe 7 to germinate and they died. I bought plugs and they are beautiful. I will NEVER try to start lissies again. I only had fungus gnats in an outdoor bed. On my seedlings that I germinated I had none. I don't know if it's because I spritz the top with water that has some Dawn dishwashing liquid in it before I plant the seed. I'm sorry I missed your live. It was just ending when I got there. I'll blame daylight savings time!
Living in a higher altitude makes the heat and cold more extreme, not very extreme, but nights get much colder than at sea level. I grew a lot of things at 4000 ft altitude, but the season wouldn't allow tomatoes, for example, because of the short growing season. Cherry tomatoes were the only ones, and earlier varieties. Most commercial growers put in hedgerows to cut down the winds which can be very strong, especially if near a ridge or valley bottom.
Amazing how many seeds you germinate and pot up to get seedlings to put in the ground. I'm a home gardener and what you do is at a completely different scale. You do an enormous amount of work but you have escaped work life in cubicles.
To prevent rot, sprinkling cinnamon helps a lot. You could then water more.
Where did you get these seed trays with 72 small cells?
Oh no. The snow is not gone yet and I feel behind already. You rock!
I love following you because our climate is very similar to yours! South east South Dakota 5a
Yall are amazing! Thank you for sharing all this great knowledge.
I have the same white and blue glitter, going to start soon… do they bloom the first year?
That is your problem you need someone to talk to try go to the community center and make a friend but you need to look on the bright side you are still luckier than most you are very smart make a schedule for yourself that you do on a daily and include going where people are and talk to them and buy the time you go to bed you will be tired and sleep well
I am in Colorado, and am always thinking that our climate is the same. However, where I am currently living gets more winter snow than you do, it sounds like. yes, dry in winter, summer, and fall. Some spring snow and rain. We get July "monsoons" and then nothing for months. LOL. Love your channel and your special videos (Halloween! etc) Thanks and good luck.
Your weather sounds about like ours here in the northern part of Eastern Oregon. – fairly semi-arid. I'm zone 6. We get 16 inches average yearly rainfall.
Fuzzy video… hard to watch…
I'm a day late to the grow room party!!! I honestly just pre-soaked my ranunculus and anemone today 3/15. My ground in New Hampshire is still frozen. Snow is still melting. I dont have a hoop house, so they will go straight out once my soil warms. Im.not thinking my germination is going to be great this year, but I'm hoping. Yellow ranunculus and picotee varieties are my faves!
