  1. Can you show us your grow room setup with lights and links to where we can purchase lights? I would love to successfully get my plants mature enough to be planted outside once its nice enough!

  2. A semi related question: I started growing hot peppers indoors through the fall and winter. I want to move them outside for the winter, but I have 2 problems. First, I don't want to overwhelm them with sun/heat/wind. Second, I live in a very wooded area and I'm worried about insects and birds devouring them. Any tips or suggestions are welcome. Also they're in containers at the moment, but I've thought about moving them to a small raised bed

  3. Hi Luke. My cherry tomatoes are in containers and about a week ago experienced some chill injury when they were outside overnight. Since then I’ve had them inside and new bright green leaves are coming up. Should I pinch off the lower grayish curled leaves and add more soil?

  4. Luke – what type of weather kept you form putting those pea plants out? I believe (not 100% positive) peas can withstand a bit of frosty mornings, and chilly temps. I seeded indoors in a tiny indoor greenhouse with grow light and put them out right about the first of April and they are now right around 4 feet tall. I live in hardiness zone 7b in VA – however we have some wet/chilly & windy conditions in the early spring. Peas did fine being sown early here. Thanks for your reply. Oh yeah – request a complete growing guide on egg plants – if you can. I've successfully grown egg plants that produce zero fruit for two years. Oddly – my seedlings take forever to do anything beyond the first true leaves – and when they finally do grow – no fruit. Any help would be so very welcome. 🙂

  5. I planted seeds in my soil blocks but they have been in a cool and damp environment for the past week are they rotted or can they still germinate now that I moved them to a warmer environment?

  6. A way I have seen and am trying for starting peas, is to get a length of eaves trough and plant your peas into it at the spacing you want. sprout them, hoe a trench and gently shunt the peas, soil and all, into the trench. you can plant them without disruption.

  7. Why did you start these inside? Seems like nearly everything you planted was stuff you have said to NOT start inside…. beets, lettuce, peas, spinach… I was wondering what the reasons were.
