Why you don't have a million followers already I don't know. Best channel for garden fundamentals. So knowledgeable, approachable and easy to understand. Brilliant.
There are few followers because he doesn't promise tons of vegetables, Colossal Inventions, etc. He only says what is true and well verified.
And people are fooled for a long time, so the real info doesn’t sound nicely anymore.
I didn't know that my favorite actor started gardening. No way. You look the same, even the voice is almost the same. Rade Serbedija (Croatian actor mostly known from Mission impossible). Jokes aside you have best gardening channel on RUclips. Best regards and thank you for all your amazing content.
I always thought he was a retired major league baseball player. ;)
I'll keep this simple.... you are an extraordinary teacher!
Recent discoverer of your channel - as a Chemist by education/General Contractor by preference, I'm finding a LOT of great practical & technical information. I'm currently being about run out of veg/flower seeds I've started. I love Artichokes to eat, plus it's a gorgeous plant - my understanding is they benefit from cold striation in the frige. Used methods I've seen online, wetted papertowel in ziplock bag in my bottom refer drawer. Some say 2 months, other say a few weeks. I tried planting seed after ~ 3 weeks, of 3 seeds 1 germinated & that took over 2 weeks making sure soil moisture was consistent. Next was 6 weeks cold, then I soaked the seed for ~ 8 hours in luke warm water I maintained in my oven at 76F using the oven light, I had much better germination - aprox 60% after this method. Variety is noted for low germination, Violet de Provence. My first seedling is THRIVING in a red solo cup now under LED 6000K 6000 lumen lights. I'm in Ohio zone 6a. The experiment continues!
thx for sharing that info. i want to ask this but i dont know any chemist irl. ¿Do you know what stratify really does at a chemical level? because i don't buy that of 'the seed knows' because i know they have some hormones or proteins and things like that, so, stratify help to eliminate some suppressor or something?
Just subscribed, thank you. Been gardening 50+ years and learning from your videos! I can do better in the greenhouse and basement and garden with your advise. Very much appreciated!
Thanks for another great vid. I looked at the Ontario website and was vey impressed. Almost 9K entries in their germination database!
Thankyou for giving temps in C and F.
i finally found somebody i like listening to! Thank You!!!!
The temp being just above freezing always made so much sense to me. Just pretending to be the first few weeks of the spring thaw :)
Your information is pure gold. Thanks for sharing !
Looks like a great chart, but would be much more helpful if the common plant names were also included as well as temperatures in both C AND F for people to reference quickly. I really enjoy your channel and the wealth of information you provide.
Thank you from Kentucky!
Just in time with this one. Thank you. Got some strawberries and liatris to start.
I guess this was a lesson that I needed several years ago when doing my milkweed, I was so wrong in my way!I did get a few out of the whole pack to produce.
Another very clear and helpful video 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
I love the baggie method for larger seeds, but doesn't work well for me with smaller seeds. For tiny seeds, I cut off the bottom of a milk jug, fill with very damp seed starter and sow small seeds in that. Then I put the 'pot' in a large zipper bag and put it in the fridge, only for me I use the spare fridge in the basement. Great reason to have a spare refrigerator! For some people it might even be worthwhile to get a small dorm-sized fridge for stratifying seed sown in dirt.
Wow! To me, good idea!!
This is the information I was missing, I was thinking freezing would be sufficient! Thank you!
This is a really useful video. I have wondered for years why we shouldn't just freeze the seed to stratify, i.e. the more cold the better. Now I know why the 'fridge is the perfect temperature. Just good advice here coming from experience.
luv this guy!
😍
Thank you so very much for your helpful video and I agree with the previous comment!! 😊 You should have so many more people subscribed because you are so knowledgeable and break things down in such a way that it’s very easy to remember! And thank you for the reference link as well!
Such a great channel
I first want to say great video. Everything is precise.
I was wondering how do you get the seeds out of the baggy method that already germinated. Tweezers? Just curious.
Love what you do..
Great video. I learned a lot!
This is a very helpful video for me thanks !
Love your videos!
Thank you Mr. P. ❄️🫠💚🙃
Thanks!
Any tips for rainbow Eucalyptus seeds? Pretty please?😢❤
Thank you for another informative video. I've been interested in getting my hands on some Good King Henry (Blitum bonus-henricus) seeds since first reading your article on perennial vegetables. Do they require cold stratification? I've seen a few folks say they are tricky to germinate from seed, and I'm curious if they aren't stratifying them correctly.
Just got a packet from FEDCO. The packet says "Chill seeds 5 days in moist medium;"
Do you have any other tips or advice on GKH - I'm completely new to the plant?
Nice
Do celery and strawberries need cold stratification? Some videos say that they do some say it helps but it's not required. Thank you.
Celery, no. I plant celery every year and never cold treat it.
I looked at that Ontario Rock Garden website and did not find a chart for stratification…🤷🏽♀️
1:51 - ramps require stratification.
What was that web site again...i ayed it three times and missed it...old age..
Ontario rock garden and native plant society.
not a veggy but Rosemary seems to need stratification
"If the temperature is below freezing, that does not qualify as cold." So, put the seeds in the fridge, because that does qualify as cold?
