Hello from Denmark. Just found and subscribed to your inspiring channel today. Ordered grow ligth and heat mat last week and can't wait to get this years planting started a bit earlier.
Absolutely love this . I’m a beginner and haven’t got a clue what to grow and when so doing these videos in this way will greatly help me . Thanks Where do I buy heat mats from
@@angelabarrett5541 Great question, the new builds should have window vents to control moisture. so keep good airflow. (Important) I only water the seedlings once then put a lid on, the condensation will collect in the lid. so in that case you should be fine. 🙏🙏🌱🌱
wow, a gardener after my own heart - its never been about the pronunciation, but the enjoyment and taste of the plant ☺ I've only just found you and will definitely be following you through the year. I'm in the southwest too so I don't have to change a thing.🌱🫑
Glen hello,the new season is soon upon us and i am itching to get going,i will probably start this weekend and i will use the vitopod and lights for a kick start,good video Glen 👍
Hi John, thanks for watching it's really appreciated. You can see my lighting set up on this video. Hope it helps. ruclips.net/video/-6CFEnfB97U/видео.html I will be doing another grow light video soon as well. 🌱🙏
@@veggiepatchideas Great, thank you. also just found another one of your vid's that was useful for this, having been toying with the idea of lights for over a year, I've just bought some on Amazon. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great Question, after germination they will be kept in my house (the conservatory) off the heat. until they are ready to pot on. But I'll definitely cover All that when they are ready🙏🌱
Good on you Glen! We are in midsummer down in Australia but it's nice to see what you're up to. I normally add vermiculite rather than perlite to the seed mix. Do you think perlite is better? Hope the weather there next year is better than your last growing year. Cheers!
Great Question 👍👍 Well in fact your correct by using Vermiculite It's better for water and nutrient retention (Good for you down under) Hot Summers. I use Perlite to aerate the compost we may not see the sun for days due to cloud cover. so I don't want the mix to wet. 🙏🙏🌱🌱
@cheddar4859 carrots can be a battle of attrition. You'll find you need to do a few different sowing times, but last year the carrots in plugs did the best for me. 🙏🌱
❄️ First high hurdle incoming Glen, snowmageddon 31.12.24 And Jim Kovaleski has a simply bombproof compost mix. Always great to see whats growing on, this channel. 😁
Great question. You'll find germination will be faster under heat, just check your seeds optimal temp as it could be lower. I had to move my seeds indoors over the last few days as the overnight temp went to - 5. In general terms onion seeds will germinate at 55 to 65 🙏🌱
I've found that slugs and snails don't seem to like red varieties of lettuce, also Grenoble Red, which is green but has red tinges. maybe because they are not as sweet as green varieties? Wishing you wonderful new Year and happy growing 🙂
Great Question: And I will cover this in detail as they grow in another video. It's depending on what you sow them in. seedling compost will need pricking out. multi compost you can leave in. 🙏🙏🌱🌱
Some advice please how often do i need to change my compost for my outside plants and veg that are in plastic buckets and containers? Ps i always use slow RELEASE fertilizer seeds....west Midlands.....
Great Question, For plants you don't need to change the compost. Feed them with a liquid fertilizer. 2 times a year for a start but please check what each plant needs first. As for Vegetables Fresh compost will be best for each season (year) or at least a topper. then add liquid feed through the growing season. 🌱🙏
I always like to start off the "hot trays" as early as possible, these have such a long growing season! I will add heat at home then grow lights for a few hours. If last year was anything to go by light levels where down due to grey sky's and lots of rain, so I'm hedging my bets. What will you be doing different this year?
@@veggiepatchideas I am growing some rare tomatoes this year so i am looking forward to that, and also I am doing a chillie challenge this year, but I am a novice chille grower so that could be interesting 😂
Hi Andy I have a video planned for this subject, I have some resources on the website already for things like back pain at veggiepatchideas.co.uk hope this help until I can do the video 🙏🌱
@veggiepatchideas thanks for the reply, I will check that out, if you are looking for somewhere that you can record setting one up let me know how to contact you, I'm in the east Midlands not sure on where you are in the UK.

@veggiepatchideas thank you
Vidéo au top bravo 😊

@veggiepatchideas de rien
Good on you Glen! We are in midsummer down in Australia but it's nice to see what you're up to.
I normally add vermiculite rather than perlite to the seed mix. Do you think perlite is better?
Hope the weather there next year is better than your last growing year. Cheers!
Great Question 👍👍 Well in fact your correct by using

Top stuff
Thanks for your support 🙏🌱
really good info , last year was my first year growing tomatoes from seed and i think i did ok but carrots was a waste of time and effort any tips ?
@cheddar4859 carrots can be a battle of attrition. You'll find you need to do a few different sowing times, but last year the carrots in plugs did the best for me. 🙏🌱
Bedfordshire championship onions seeds ARE amazing i grown them ever year
Thanks I'll look into those 👍👍
When do you start from seed is it this month January
❄️ First high hurdle incoming Glen, snowmageddon 31.12.24
And Jim Kovaleski has a simply bombproof compost mix.
Always great to see whats growing on, this channel. 😁
Eeek Snowmageddon! I take it your up north. Currently enjoying a blanket of fog here in the southwest. 🙏🎄
Hi when you were doing your onion seeds you said do them in a polytunnel I'm doing them in a propergator with heat to 65 is this still ok
Great question. You'll find germination will be faster under heat, just check your seeds optimal temp as it could be lower. I had to move my seeds indoors over the last few days as the overnight temp went to - 5. In general terms onion seeds will germinate at 55 to 65 🙏🌱
I've found that slugs and snails don't seem to like red varieties of lettuce, also Grenoble Red, which is green but has red tinges. maybe because they are not as sweet as green varieties? Wishing you wonderful new Year and happy growing 🙂
Definitely less damage to the reds, nothing worse than harvesting and seeing slugs everywhere 🤣 🙏🌱
totally agree- uggghh!
Yes, I only grow Lollo Rosso now as its the only one that survives my slug invasion.
Do you pot on the seedlings as soon as they come through ?
Great Question: And I will cover this in detail as they grow in another video. It's depending on what you sow them in. seedling compost will need pricking out. multi compost you can leave in. 🙏🙏🌱🌱
Some advice please how often do i need to change my compost for my outside plants and veg that are in plastic buckets and containers? Ps i always use slow RELEASE fertilizer seeds....west Midlands.....
