Gary, I did this once and ended up with a horrible mold & damping off problem. So ever since then I use a 5oz plastic cup to start and then up cup peppers to an 18 oz drink cup and tomatoes to the large drink cups from the fast food places. I've been saving them for years..easy to reuse,wash them in the dishwasher after I plant them in my buckets. Also makes it easy to give my extras away. Normally your advice is spot on, but this time not so much. Btw, I've got 124 toms and 90 peppers started for myself and friends this year.
That works. Potting mix isnt sterile so that can happen. Nice on the 124/90 and sharing! I now have an Amazon Influencer's Storefront. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN No, it wasn't the potting mix cuz I always sterilize it. It was the paper cups, they fell apart from the hole in the bottom which absorbed water. the wax coating breaks down and the mold came from the rotting paper, wax and soil. Pain in the neck to deal with, that's why I switched to the plastic cups. They are basically the same price and last longer,, I'm on year 7 for mine.Just gotta clean 'em!
I started on March 1st also but my plants or know where the size of his, I guess that's why he's on RUclips and I'm not...lol. keep up the good work👍👍👍👍

Gary, I've been starting tomato and pepper plants for about 10 years now. I use to top water until I found your channel. Now I bottom water and have good results. I do have a question and would like your opinion. I have a few fresh water aquariums and when I change the water I use it to water my house plants and they love it. What are your thoughts of using the aquarium water for my tomato seedlings? My aquariums are planted tanks.
I think that is fine. I dont know the amount of NPK in it. Worst case is you have to add some water soluble fertilizer. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More

I'm in your zone in Pasadena. Judging by this, it is okay to put the tomatoes and peppers outside already? At least during warm days? I am aware that the Sun can damage indoor starts, just curious about putting outside in the shade as you suggest.
You can put them out slowly to get used to the sun. You have to do this over 7 days or so as they need to build up tolerance to the UV rays. As long as it 40+ out you can do it.

Have a serious question for you about asparagus. I planted seeds indoors under grow lights on 3/23. They are in 4" pots. I had the lights about 2-3" above and they grew above the light. So I moved the light to about 6" above the containers. Some are above already. Just spindly with ferny tops. What would you do?

Hi Gary, I have watched so many of your seed starting videos and I have seen how you recommend using boiling water to disinfect seed starting medium. I have not, however, ever seen you talk about how you disinfect your used seed cells and pots. Am I wrong? I'd love to know what you do or if it's a step that's not really necessary. Thanks so much.
Well I dont. LOL. You can with a bleach solution or h202 solution but I never found it to be an issue. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More
Hey Gary if I have 3 tomato seedlings growing in a container as big as the cups, will I need to move them out at a certain time before they can go in the garden? I assume the roots might get crowded right?
Typically you want them out by 8 weeks of indoor growth or they start flower in the cups. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More

Gary, I live in Birmingham, Alabama, zone 8a. Daytime temps are in the 70-80’s. Nights are in the high 40’s to 60’s. I purchased your seeds for tomatoes, peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon , squash ready to plant. Getting a very late start. I have to use containers due to having very little sunny yard space. Can I sow directly into the large containers that the plants will ultimately live in or should I start seeds in the smaller trays and eventually move outdoors? Thanks in advance!
Nope. Direct so if you know where they are going. Good luck and thanks for the order. You have good temps for direct sowing now. Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com/ - Seeds, Starting Supplies, Neem Oil, Peppermint & Other Oils, Calcium Nitrate & More

Hey Gary, I started my peppers and tomatoes in larger cups and I planted 2 seeds and they both germinated. So do I now need to separate them and repot into the same size containers (8 oz) or can I just let them continue to grow then put them in my 5 gallon buckets outside? Does this make any sense? I’m very new to this. Thx for all your helpful vids
Tomatoes should be planted to 1 plant per cup and container, so either thin or divide. You can grow 2 peppers in a 5 gallon pot. 2 peppers can stay in one cup. Tomatoes take a lot of water out of 5 gallon containers when large. It is possible to grow them. Ive done it but now I recommend a 10 gallon pot for tomatoes.

Good morning. I am starting a garden this year. I made a grow box from your video, but I could only find a light bulb that is GE, its purple, and was labeled a grow light. I have about 3 seedling each in small medicine cups The tomato and pepper seedlings seem to be doing very well, I started them March 29th, and they are now starting to grow their first true leaves. My question is, their stems are about an inch and a half tall, to their leaves is that a bad thing? I know legginess isn't good, but what is considered leggy? Also, I bought miracle grow all purpose granulated fertilizer. How much and when should I fertilize? I'm in Indiana, when can I put them outside?
Good morning. Check out my grow-light video from this year in the seed starting playlist if you havent. They sound a little leggy. I also have video on starting seeds without grow light. Basically move them in an out. So yes the seeds can go out during day when it is not freezing and always bring them in at night to stay warm. I have vidoes on the fertilizer too in that plays list. 1/4 stregth. Good luck. Here is the playlist ruclips.net/video/z1pM_JfLWhM/видео.html I now have an Amazon Influencer's Storefront.

If the fertilizer I'm using on my tomato plants says it contains calcium to fight blossom end rot does that mean I do not have to add lyme/gypsum when planting them outside?

Hi Gary, I have watched so many of your seed starting videos and I have seen how you recommend using boiling water to disinfect seed starting medium. I have not, however, ever seen you talk about how you disinfect your used seed cells and pots. Am I wrong? I'd love to know what you do or if it's a step that's not really necessary. Thanks so much.
Well I dont. LOL. You can with a bleach solution or h202 solution but I never found it to be an issue.

Hey Gary if I have 3 tomato seedlings growing in a container as big as the cups, will I need to move them out at a certain time before they can go in the garden? I assume the roots might get crowded right?
Typically you want them out by 8 weeks of indoor growth or they start flower in the cups.

Gary, I live in Birmingham, Alabama, zone 8a. Daytime temps are in the 70-80’s. Nights are in the high 40’s to 60’s. I purchased
your seeds for tomatoes, peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon , squash ready to plant. Getting a very late start. I have to use containers due to having very little sunny yard space. Can I sow directly into the large containers that the plants will ultimately live in or should I start seeds in the smaller trays and eventually move outdoors? Thanks in advance!
Nope. Direct so if you know where they are going. Good luck and thanks for the order. You have good temps for direct sowing now.

Do kale leaves still taste ok after it flowers, or do they change flavor like basil and cilantro?
They taste fine. But not as many.

Hey Gary, I started my peppers and tomatoes in larger cups and I planted 2 seeds and they both germinated. So do I now need to separate them and repot into the same size containers (8 oz) or can I just let them continue to grow then put them in my 5 gallon buckets outside? Does this make any sense? I’m very new to this. Thx for all your helpful vids
Tomatoes should be planted to 1 plant per cup and container, so either thin or divide. You can grow 2 peppers in a 5 gallon pot. 2 peppers can stay in one cup. Tomatoes take a lot of water out of 5 gallon containers when large. It is possible to grow them. Ive done it but now I recommend a 10 gallon pot for tomatoes.

Gary, hi. What do you think about conifer bark as mulch for container tomatoes ? I know it can raise acidity long term, but it does make any difference for container ? Unfortunately, i couldn't find hardwood bark in my country.
I think it is fine for containers. Toss on a handful of lime and your fine, if you are worried.

My tomato seedlings stopped growing! For two weeks they’ve been the same...tiny . I have them in a small greenhouse with grow lights. Did I put start them in too soon? Should I feed them? How close to lights ? Anybody have any idea?
Try some nitrogen.

Haha I thought the same thing
I had to watch it again. To see
Glad I held back on planting my 6-wk old tomato and sweet pepper seedlings and dodged last night’s frost in MD zone 6. Can you advise when I should plant my tomato plants outside? Is this Sunday too early? Thanks!
Yeah I lost my 10 garden test plants but all the main stuff was moved back int the house. Plant sooooon LOL. Probably May 1 knowing how the frost has been.

Do you know if you can follow this process for separating sunflowers? I'm in zone 7 (NJ). My tomatoes are not big enough for transplant into bigger cups yet but my sunflowers are! What would you recommend?
You cant try it with sunflowers. I havent but it can work

Also use the metric system to talk about if you can
When you realize Bill the Butcher was the good guy
What's your problem? The metric system is easier to use and can be understood by anyone in the world. Scientifically used and preferred worldwide.
I cant as I dont know it on the fly. We arent taught it here. But its about 3.7 liters to a gallon

Where can I find info on when to start tomatos inside in Maine?
Caleb Laplante Google your town and plant hardiness zone. When you find the zone you are in, google last spring frost date for your zone and then plant the seeds inside 8-10 weeks before that date.
Cynthia go it

Good morning. I am starting a garden this year. I made a grow box from your video, but I could only find a light bulb that is GE, its purple, and was labeled a grow light. I have about 3 seedling each in small medicine cups The tomato and pepper seedlings seem to be doing very well, I started them March 29th, and they are now starting to grow their first true leaves. My question is, their stems are about an inch and a half tall, to their leaves is that a bad thing? I know legginess isn't good, but what is considered leggy? Also, I bought miracle grow all purpose granulated fertilizer. How much and when should I fertilize? I'm in Indiana, when can I put them outside?
Good morning. Check out my grow-light video from this year in the seed starting playlist if you havent. They sound a little leggy. I also have video on starting seeds without grow light. Basically move them in an out. So yes the seeds can go out during day when it is not freezing and always bring them in at night to stay warm. I have vidoes on the fertilizer too in that plays list. 1/4 stregth. Good luck. Here is the playlist ruclips.net/video/z1pM_JfLWhM/видео.html

If the fertilizer I'm using on my tomato plants says it contains calcium to fight blossom end rot does that mean I do not have to add lyme/gypsum when planting them outside?
That is probably a yes. Plants dont need a lot.

Anyone just use good garden soil in cups?
I have. It works in cups too.

Why do people use small containers to start seedlings? Why not put seeds directly in a big pot?
Its in the video. If you start a lot, smaller cells as they fit under the lights when you have limited space. If you dont start a lot and have the space, use the bigger cups.

Yes!
