It’s agony being in the North and watching everyone getting ready knowing I can’t even think about starting seeds yet lol but I have planned all my garden plots and started my check list of what I need this year. Love and prayers from Canada 🇨🇦 🙏
I feel you! I started my pepper plants this week since I have a cold frame outside and I'll be putting them under there sooner than the last frost, but for the rest Im just so impatient for Spring to come around here haha
I was cracking UP, when you said that flower sale was the most intense 5 mins of your life. I picture y’all standing around looking like the dang stock market 🤣. I love it, I am same way with chickens and eggs, us farmers are a special type of crazy 😆🥰
Last year, due to health considerations, I didn't get my plants in the ground until June. Thankfully, I live in zone 6, so I have a long enough growing season that I was still able to have a good harvest of tomatoes and even was able to freeze some for use this winter.
Great reminders! And, although I dream of one day having a greenhouse, I echo what you said that one is not necessary for starting seeds! I've been starting mine inside for many years, and last year was the first year that my entire garden was started from seed, without needing to purchase replacement plants from a nursery. That was a huge accomplishment for me, and I'm hoping to be able to do that again this year! One thing I would add to the items to check is the viability of seeds, if people have older seeds. For those who don't know how to do that, put several seeds inside a paper towel, spray with water, and place in a ziplock bag. If they sprout, you'll know the seeds are good to plant. I learned this from Luke at Migardener last year.
My garden was the all planted form seed this year too except some marigolds I purchased, as the ones I tried to grow from seeds that I ordered of Amazon turned out to be like six feet tall lmao 🤣 I had to buy some smaller ones to intermingle lol
You're so right about having an organized space and how it helps to have a clean area to work in. Personally, that also clears up the space in my head so I will really want to start seeds. Otherwise, I just keep watching videos of other people starting their seeds instead of doing it myself 😇 🙈
I generally use a couple of 72 cells and 12 yogurt cups in an aluminum baking pan ( 3 shelves) in my garage with heat mats and grow lights. It's just my hubby and I so it's been enough, but would love to have a real greenhouse. I'm hopeful for that this year
Lol! I have a 15+ year old mama cat 🐈 that took up residence in my greenhouse last fall. I did not have the heart to put her out when it was time to close the greenhouse up for the winter 🥶. So my sweet tender hearted husband bought a kitty/doggie door and installed it. Now my problem is, it’s time to clean out and get ready to start seeds and I have 1-3 kitties that think it’s their home. I told John he needed to buy another kitty door and install it in one of the other sheds and move mama over there. The things I do for my fur babies. Blessings y’all
I'm in south-central Indiana and I always start some seeds in 'poor man's greenhouses' ( milk jugs and other containers) this time of year. Then, in late February, and early March I start seeds in trays Under grow lights and heat mats. I try to garden all year round ( also grow fall crops ). I am a gardening addict lol. Hopefully gonna have a 'true' greenhouse this year 🙏 loving your inspiring videos
Because of you I have bought zinnas.. delilahs... and I am in love. I planted them way to late but they bloomed way late too. I couldn't believe how long the zinnas bloomed. And they produce so many flowers on one plant.. I've never planted flowers except for marigolds to keep the bugs away. I wont be doing a garden this year. It was something my husband and I loved to do together. He committed suicide in june last year and it just wont be the same. But I hope your new farm brings you many blessings. Keep hoping and keep dreaming. 😊😊
You should build a cute little storage shed off to the side of that window green house in the corner of the garden to store your supplies. The heat and UV in the greenhouse will weaken and destroy plastic stuff fast.
Lol, “You are not too late!” *Look of confusion passes my face as I look out the window at literal feet of blowing snow until I realize what zone you are in*. I am in zone 4 and my last frost date is estimated to be May 17. I can’t start even my earliest seeds until about April!
I have started my tomatoes already, but this is the first year I am doing it right when my zone calls for. Years past I waited your you and or Jess to do them and finally realized that I am 2 zones higher(9a) and I should start them sooner. Maybe this year I will get better results since they maybe not trying to bloom in the height of summer.
I'm Zone 9 also and I started tomatoes already! I started them waayyy too late last year and it wasn't the best tomato year! Hopefully this year brings you many delicious tomatoes!
@@stephaniesanchez676 I’m also in zone 9. Houston tx. And I’ve been having a hard time deciding when to start. According to the seed packs I have I’m suppose to start indoors around march. Can y’all help 😔 I would really appreciate it.
@@claudiaramos7945 I think you're supposed to start 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. If your last frost date is in March (like me), I believe it's safe to start your seeds indoors already!
I NEED to get myself somewhere that has a longer growing season! I'm in Canada and it's -24 c / -11F today. Every year I think I'm going to start plants in the house, but never do. This is going to be my year!!!
We have a lot of our seeds already and plan on getting more as we are excited about getting ours started as well. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us, but also thank you for the encouragement, energy & excitement that flows from you though your videos to your audience! Tell Nathan I said Howdy! GOD BLESS YALL 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇👍🏻❤️
Thank you for always reminding us that whatever we are gardening, or however much we are gardening, that it's great. In this video you reminded me that even though the talk this week on youtube is about seed prep and seed starting, in Chicago it's just too early and nobody is running behind! :) That gardening is meant to be joyfull.. all at our own pace, and that everyone's pace is ok.
Here in cold CO if I start before March I will have mature plants on my counter waiting for May - but sometimes I get too excited anyway on winter days when the sun is shining
I am so freaking excited to watch your growing season this year. Last year you and Jess were so busy during the height of harvest season that I feel like we lost out on so much amazing content that I thrive on in the winter (no time to watch in summer and fall). But this is getting me giddy. I am ready and here for it!
Hey y'all, Jill look at the door that will not close. There is a threshold plate with a couple screws you may need to screw a few of them down to allow the door to close. The plate sneaks up over time. I love how you are showing folks what making, having and using greenhouse of garden checklist. I see frost on the window and snow on the ground and thermometer that says 28 F today It helps me put my brakes on. I have started herbs indoors in my new closet seeding and seedling transplantation. Shelves reflective on the walls and grow lights. I'm excited for 2022 garden!!
That hot coco looks awesome! Thanks for reminder on checklist. I have been running out and grabbing 2020 clearance deals because reading all over fertilizer organic or not about to hit all time highs. Been gobbling up frozen bags soil as well as anything organic on sale. If you all have an aldi and need a space heater go check it out. They normally have it in the Aldi's finds section. Loved your point just because others are starting doesn't mean your late. Look at your last frost date & realize not everyone can be growing yet. Heck just starting winter sow now.
Jill Thank you SO much for the reassurance of its ok to let someone be a step ahead. I NEEDED THAT. a friend already started her seeds here near me but she's also in a different situation and i have to keep telling myself im OK. so thank you for that reminder and encouragement.
Maybe put a little heater in there like Jess always had. That would help with the cold. I wish i could put a little heater in mine but being that it is the plastic cattle panel kind, I think that I will just start my seeds indoors instead of using that for seed starting. I wish i had a glass one. Maybe some day, we can build a glass green house:) Everything is looking good there:)
Just moved to 7a from 10a and it's a whole new learning curve for me. Excited to get started. You mentioned your GreenStalks. I had to leave mine behind (sadness). Have you heard anything about them having a big sale? I remember that last year, they offered a major discount in January (5 tier for $109) so I'm holding out ordering a replacement.
I live in WV and I don't start seeds until about the middle of March, I wish I could lol but my last frost isn't until the first week of May. I have to keep reminding myself that its not time yet because I'm so ready
@@WhisperingWillowFarm Oh yes! haha - I noted that in the video (love it!). I actually meant building plans =) I know that was built by the @rootsandrefugefarm crew, but not sure they shared building plans either? It's such a functional but still compact space - definitely one to consider!
Yes! It was helpful, and yea I started onion seeds 2 weeks ago. I live south of you. We ARE gonna make it a beautiful growing year. Thank you for taking the time to share.
‘You are not too late!’. Thank you, Jill. I am in Indiana zone 6a. Starting winter sowing again this year and starting a few things in seed trays, when it gets to be end of March. I enjoy your instructions. And seeing you in your ‘new digs’. Maybe that could be a garden sign?
I already have volunteer tomato plants... a LOT of them. I live in Madeira (portuguese island) so i'm starting my tomato seeds and pepper seeds. We have very mild winters so its ok. Its around 60°F right now (evening).
I’m so excited for year 3 growing season for me! Fingers crossed third times the charm. 🤞🏻 Question, is there a reason why I couldn’t start seeds directly in my GreenStalk planters if they were in a heated greenhouse? I was just thinking that perhaps my plants would be happiest to not be up potted or messed with if they started their life in their permanent home.
The only thing I can think of is seedlings need so much direct sunlight for several hours a day. Thus grow lights or flat trays. The round planters may not allow those tender seeds enough uv rays. Hope that helps. 👩🌾💙
All of these seed starting videos have been so helpful! This will be my first year to start my own seeds vs buying transplants. Also, I love the blue/grey color in the greenhouse!! Can you find out the color name?
Do I need heat mats if I have heaters and a fan? What are the ideal temps? I was gifted a small greenhouse years ago I finally just put up and I'm winging it. I'm using it for tender things I want to survive the mild southeastern Texas (9A) cold right now
Great question. There are several things that would possibly work. There are coyote urine products, some people use a mixture of cinnamon and cayenne pepper mixed with water and spray the edges of your beds. We have dogs and so we have never had to worry about it. Hope this helps
My goodness I won’t start seeds until March other than things I can grow indoors. We are buried under snow so I’ll be counting backwards from Memorial Day to determine when to start things. Yes Memorial Day weekend is planting day up here in zone 5a in NH
@@WhisperingWillowFarm oh yes. But this year I am making the best of it. One I. Ground garden. One with raised beds and a greenhouse. I’m also going to grow some things indoors over the next few months but have to clean the basement and get my tent set this weekend.
I won't start seeds for another month and even then I do it in stages. We don't get much consistent warm/hot weather until July so I can start some things that do well in the cooler Spring temps in mid-Feb and then I get things started with a grow light and small heater in late Feb. I have learned that a small heater is essential for me. Now that you have several greenhouse spaces which ones will you use for flowers and which for veg? Are you still planning to start enough veg seeds to be able to sell plants?
I'm making my husband cleam my greenhouse for me. Rats got in for the first time in 16 years. It's disgusting.I told him it needs to be done by the end of the month

Jill I like those heaters. I use them throughout my house.
You can buy those heaters at most hard wares. They are radiator heaters.

Great ideas.
Need to hear this, first time. Hello friend
Hello friend
Excellent...I am getting ready to start some seeds. 😃 This is going to save me a lot of money. 😃
‘You are not too late!’. Thank you, Jill. I am in Indiana zone 6a. Starting winter sowing again this year and starting a few things in seed trays, when it gets to be end of March. I enjoy your instructions. And seeing you in your ‘new digs’. Maybe that could be a garden sign?
Great idea
And those of us in the Frozen North can start winter sowing now or soon
I would wait a while for you in Canada
@@WhisperingWillowFarm I'm thinking early February
I'm in SW Ontario
Depending on what you are starting, you may wait later than that. Find out what your estimated last frost date is and work back from there
I already have volunteer tomato plants... a LOT of them. I live in Madeira (portuguese island) so i'm starting my tomato seeds and pepper seeds. We have very mild winters so its ok. Its around 60°F right now (evening).
Thanks so much for this video, this is my first year starting seeds in a greenhouse, I'm so excited and your videos sure help alot!
I'm excited for you ❤
It's better to be late than not at all. 😊
How do you disinfect your pots and trays?
Great question. I use a cup of 90% hydrogen peroxide and mix with a gallon of water. I spray or dip the trays in the solution and let air dry.
You need a thermal plug-in for your heater.
Have you ever done winter sowing in milk jugs? I’ve been seeing so much of this lately. ???
Yes I have, I used to use whatever I had available
I’m so excited for year 3 growing season for me! Fingers crossed third times the charm. 🤞🏻 Question, is there a reason why I couldn’t start seeds directly in my GreenStalk planters if they were in a heated greenhouse? I was just thinking that perhaps my plants would be happiest to not be up potted or messed with if they started their life in their permanent home.
It's my 3rd year growing this year as well 🤗 I'm hoping for the same 🙏
The only thing I can think of is seedlings need so much direct sunlight for several hours a day. Thus grow lights or flat trays. The round planters may not allow those tender seeds enough uv rays. Hope that helps. 👩🌾💙
That’s a really great point. I’d have to be out there all the time turning and ensuring every side is getting light.
Johnny seed and hoss tools are good places to buy seeds im in zone 7b behind little Rock air base
Hello neighbor. I live behind Camp Robinson and love both of those options
I love your vest!! What brand is it??
All of these seed starting videos have been so helpful! This will be my first year to start my own seeds vs buying transplants. Also, I love the blue/grey color in the greenhouse!! Can you find out the color name?
I'll ask Jeremiah
Whispering Willow Farm thank you.
Do I need heat mats if I have heaters and a fan? What are the ideal temps? I was gifted a small greenhouse years ago I finally just put up and I'm winging it. I'm using it for tender things I want to survive the mild southeastern Texas (9A) cold right now
Depends, heat mats just keep the soil temperature warm
Hi Jill! Do you (or anyone else) have any advice for keeping neighborhood cats from destroying your raised bed gardens?
Great question. There are several things that would possibly work. There are coyote urine products, some people use a mixture of cinnamon and cayenne pepper mixed with water and spray the edges of your beds. We have dogs and so we have never had to worry about it. Hope this helps
My goodness I won’t start seeds until March other than things I can grow indoors. We are buried under snow so I’ll be counting backwards from Memorial Day to determine when to start things. Yes Memorial Day weekend is planting day up here in zone 5a in NH

I plan on doing a video soon
I’m getting onions from Dixondale too but can’t put them in the ground until mid April. When should I order?
Great question, I would probably order in February sometime
How do you sanitize your trays?
Great question. I use a cup of 90% hydrogen peroxide and mix with a gallon of water. I spray or dip the trays in the solution and let air dry
I'm over here worried about you spilling your coffee ☕ 😱🤣🤦♀️
😂😂 it happens often
I was so worried you were going to spill your coffee, holding it sideways like that. lol
😂😂 it happens often
I won't start seeds for another month and even then I do it in stages. We don't get much consistent warm/hot weather until July so I can start some things that do well in the cooler Spring temps in mid-Feb and then I get things started with a grow light and small heater in late Feb. I have learned that a small heater is essential for me.
Now that you have several greenhouse spaces which ones will you use for flowers and which for veg? Are you still planning to start enough veg seeds to be able to sell plants?
Great question. I will use the new greenhouse to start all seeds and use this greenhouse primarily for an office/work space
Can you start and keep seeds in an ingested greenhouse? I’m in zone 7a so similar climate as you. Or would I have to bring the seeds in every night?
You can if you have a heat source to keep above 40 degrees
@@WhisperingWillowFarm ok obviously I meant “unheated” lol. Sorry! Thank you!
like it=======
I recommend getting a ceramic heater with a thermostat or your electric bill will sky rocket.
Do u sterilize ur trays Jill of so, how?
Great question, we use hydrogen peroxide and water solution
We don't do Pretty we do Productive Lol!
