Love your videos! I'm putting a no-dig raised-bed heirloom garden into a sterile suburban backyard, and you've given me all the info I need to kick the experiment off with JADAM techniques right from the get-go! And thanks for the video above...you validated my choices WRT which seeds I started indoors!
thank you for the kind support my friend!!!... in your situation you'll want to grow the fastest growing of all the winter squash and that is the "Early Butternut"... which is a hybrid but still a very rich producer... here's a link to a trusted seed company that I have used many times and you can order them right here www.ufseeds.com/product/early-butternut-f1-squash-seeds/SQEB.html
@@gardenlikeaviking how do you grow then in seed trays? Are they covered with another lightly weighted tray to force them to grow upright and shed the hull, then remove the tray? thanks
Nate. Have you made a banana tea using the peal chopped 1/4 inch sq. steeped in water for seedlings? It's supposed to make seedling have strong vigorous stems , not leggy and disease resistant plants?
well... I don't mean to be a buzzkill but the banana tea thing does absolutely nothing for the plants in terms of potassium and mineral content... it must first be digested by the soil food web before it can be available to plants and steeping it in water does not accomplish this at all... much better to use any of the JLF's we make on this channel but very dilute
peas would be the main thing as it would be too hot.. you will want to use Purple Hull Peas which love the heat and are delicious... and for sure use the Rattlesnake pole beans as they do great in the heat and humidity... focus on sweet potatoes also they love the heat
@@gardenlikeaviking I’ve also sown carrots under wooden planks to keep the moisture in. They’re also slug traps, I’ve removed about 20 slugs so far, by the time the carrots germinate the slugs population should be about gone.👍🏻🐌🤠
@@nickthegardener.1120 I crush egg shells and lay around area each seed is sown to deter slugs. Birds around my garden go for the worms and other pests. I keep water around for the birds. If you fear mosquitos laying their eggs in still water you can add a few drops of organic olive oil. When they lay their eggs in the still water, they are smothered by the oil.
Thank you brother for your knowledge schooling and mostly your production style is top tier. No BS, No story time, No long winded chatter off topic, just the raw helpful informative goods 👍🏽 you make us all better stewards of the soil
Dang it! You're just adding to my Spring Fever! Thanx a lot! 🤣 ThanQ for helping all of us be more self-reliant with our food supplies! Another great informative video, Nate! How many thousands of people that thought they had brown thumbs will now be successful because of you! God Bless!
I came to understand that sunflowers do grab toxins from the soil but they don't do anything with it. Advised to not compost the sunflowers that where planted to clean the soil or you're just giving back those toxins.
Lol yes I had to laugh when you talked about only planting 2 zucchini plants 😂 I have been growing to many zucchini’s for years I love sharing with everyone and theres just something about growing them I just love ❤️
Would winter sowing in milk jugs count as direct sow or transplant? Wondering because I want to grow melons, but the season is so short and I feel like I need a head start.
winter sowing is definitely still transplanting... direct sowing means you never move it in any way... if you feel the need go ahead and start some inside and then compare to the ones you direct sow when the time is right... IME the ones you direct sow will grow so fast and vigorous right past the transplanted ones
I live in Texas, zone 8b. I had direct sowed zucchini, yellow squash and corn in the beginning of this month. And the damn roly polies ate them all 😡 So, I just started them again in pots, outdoor. I will see how they perform. Will the JEDAM pesticide kill roly polies?
Great information, Viking! I didn’t know about direct sowing most all of these. I’ve transplanted many that you mentioned, and most have done ok. But I want better than ok! I saved this video to refer to as the season gets rolling. I’m a third year gardener and I truly don’t think I would have persevered without the high quality knowledge shared here, and on a few other channels. Now more than ever, I am so grateful!!
Once you have a Stevia plant, they grow really well by cuttings. They root well in just water. When you cut a piece, use the lower leaves and leave a few top leaves with the stem and pop it in a shot glass with water. You'll get a new plant each time!
Thanks Nate, I had quite a few calendula last year to now know they're a great pest repellent I'll have a lot more this year, I've 2 big pots with lavender in them, the bees love it, they bring so much noise into the garden when those purple flowers are out, the smell is incredible too.
I like to use the Jarrahdale pumpkin by quartering it & freezing it whole after cutting open. I use the pulp to make tortillas & pizza dough instead of adding water. And everyone loves a spicy pumpkin curry!
Hi Nate! I’m so grateful for your channels and all the wisdom you share. I live in zone 3a with an unfortunately short growing season. I’ve always started squash indoors and it does exactly what you said. It’s obvious it doesn’t like being transplanted. I’m just wondering your opinion on direct sowing squash in zone 3.
please see my response to your question on the donation comment.... try to order the seeds from the variety I gave the link to.... if not then classic acorn squash will be the next best thing... even in zone 3 you can get a direct planted harvest of the Early Butternut or the Early Acorn no problem!
I am trying the 1500 year old cave beans per your suggestion on a Saturday Q&A. I just added Good Mother Stallard Bean to my list (from the video suggestion). I have pole beans from True Leaf but have been unimpressed in the past. Always helpful, thanks Nate!
ok great you're going to have a fantastic experience so long as you prepare the right kind of trellis for them... they can grow 10 to 17 feet and they appreciate a sturdy trellis for maximum bounty... be sure to watch the video I made about the pole bean privacy fence
@@gardenlikeaviking Thanks for the suggestion! I have actually watched all of your videos so I know which one you are talking about. I have 10 ft cattle panels vertical connected to sturdy poles for my beans. I appreciate the advice and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Do you cut the vine tips off to an ideal length on Tahitian squash, so more energy goes into growing the squash? Like is done to sweet potato vines. thanks
no I never trim the TMS vines... often the deer trim them for me and the vines just grow from previous nodes... you will not get as many squash if you cut the vine regularly though because there's plenty of energy to produce more and more unlike sweet potatoes
Okra is definitely a plant you want to direct seed. I tried the transplanting two years in a row and they were small and pathetic. Last year, I directly planted the seeds into the ground and had super healthy, productive plants with ginormous stems. Wow, what a major difference!
Hi, I have garlic seed. Can I sow that direct, or how should I handle that. I think it takes a while before I can actually use it, not sure??? Do you have experience with garlic seed? BTW I Love your channel!
do you mean "seed garlic" such as cloves and bulbs?... yes you can plant those right now... actual seeds of garlic are very rare and resemble onion seeds and they will most likely be a huge waste of time so I highly recommend focusing your efforts on getting some cloves... let me know if you mean the seeds or the cloves
"Bolt XR F1" Corn from Holmes Seed is a sweet corn that has 67 days to maturity... They are sold out already this year. I'm excited to try it this year.
Just direct sowed a whole bed of red core chantenay carrots and another bed of French breakfast radish, can’t wait to see em. Love your channel, especially the fertilizer videos, keep it up.
Great seed list varieties. Thank you. Will have to wait until next year though because we spent over 35 dollars already on seeds couple weeks ago :( I'll revisit this to make a list. You are right on the target for in ground 15. We do some of those veggi seeds by direct sow. Small space
Thanks alot for spreading Spring Fever! And the next time someone claims I have way too many freezer storage bags full of seeds, I going to send them to your channel.
You do a great job of explaining .. using hand gestures along with your discussion! I have been growing the "Sucrin Du Berry" butternut variety from France. (Baker's Creek) Makes long vines and produces many large winter squash that keep really well all winter. They also are good at resisting the vine borer beetle .. bc they develop a pithy almost woody interior inside the vine. I start mine in individual pots .. and when the plant is about a foot tall with side leaves .. I wrap two layers of an 1in wide strip of tinfoil in a spiral up the vine and it gives the vine the early protection it needs and then plant. Later as the vine grows .. it pushes out the foil and creates it's own space.
thank you for the feedback about the hand gestures I often wonder if it helps or hinders lol... great suggestion about the variety and method of planting I have never tried either of those but perhaps its in the future experiment for me!!
Hi Nate, Thanks for all of your insights. I tried the gutter method of pea planting last year side by side with direct sowing. I had a much smaller germination rate with direct sow, but the gutter peas were stunted for awhile. any suggestions on how to improve germination rates for direct sow?
its possible the soil was too cold still so you can warm it up by placing black plastic over the soil for a couple weeks before planting that will help... also maybe you had insects like slugs or snails eating the young sprout as soon as it popped up so it just appeared like they didn't sprout but actually they got eaten... happens all the time
that would depend on how contaminated the soil is... personally if they grow and look healthy I would still use them for microgreens... just be sure when you harvest them to leave the roots completely undisturbed and in the ground
Congratulations on 44k subscribers 🎉! Your content is superb and I have started going back through the videos and taking notes. Please do back up your videos on another medium if you haven’t already done so.
Question: I always feel I need to buy organic but I noticed your packaging doesn’t say so is that because yours are heirlooms or you don’t think it’s necessary?
Got here before Nate. LOL. When I want to save seeds from grocery store veggies I buy organic veggies, garlic. I think Nate has suggested it too. I can't always buy organic seeds. We get what's available to survive. Hybrid seeds are good too but can't rely that you'll get the same quality veggies if you save those seeds for next season.
"organic" is really a method of applying fertilizers and pesticides and does not have any meaning in relation to seeds... much more important than the organic label on seeds is the heirloom label... heirloom is guaranteed to produce true to seed the following year and not be some kind of hybrid... although it is true most seeds labeled organic are also heirloom
yes you can add lots of grass clippings for slow release nutrients but they won't help so much with drainage if thats what you're after because they'll mat down and begin to compost
@@gardenlikeaviking You are a wealth of knowledge Brother, if I’m any way you have any problem to which you require a second head to bounce off of please do hit me up 🤙 I have several background in natural construction, smithing, chemistry, filtration, natural fuel generation and distillation, etc. Professional homesteading if you will 😃
I have heard when farmers till soil, ie plow or disc say corn or soybeans, they equipment is let’s say working. When they go through the same land but had been planted with sunflowers the equipment suddenly a very easy going. Like the soil has been converted to a much fluffier medium. Highly beneficial to tight soils. I asked a friend who dad farms wheat and milo in western Kansas and he said that was true. Btw, for those out there KS is known as the sunflower state. Masses of the native plant bloom late summer here.
I saw your seed starting video and I have to say I don't have money for that kind of setup, so thanks for this video. If there's a cheaper way to start indoors, I would very much appreciate a video about that.
have you seen this video here:ruclips.net/video/LwzcfvpCNfc/видео.html ... this is the super budget setup and if you're really tight for money you could even omit the heat mat but for best results I recommend it!!
"Aww man, we're in a cup, we're not gonna have a good life" 🤣🤣
🤔 with this great selection, I think it is technically March. 😂 off to the garden tomorrow morning. Thanks again for another awesome video.
I always sow pumpkin and cucumbers in a large coffee cup inside as our season is too short to wait until the soil is warm enough. So far it works.
Come on, Nate! German butter potatoes should be awesome in red Solo cups. ; )
Thanks Nate, looking forward to spring and winter snow going away.

welcome my friend!!
@@gardenlikeaviking Thank you brother!
Do you de-hull the mature sunflower seeds for eating, after fall harvest? If so, best method.
I use them for microgreens
@@gardenlikeaviking how do you grow then in seed trays? Are they covered with another lightly weighted tray to force them to grow upright and shed the hull, then remove the tray? thanks
Nate. Have you made a banana tea using the peal chopped 1/4 inch sq. steeped in water for seedlings?
It's supposed to make seedling have strong vigorous stems , not leggy and disease resistant plants?
well... I don't mean to be a buzzkill but the banana tea thing does absolutely nothing for the plants in terms of potassium and mineral content... it must first be digested by the soil food web before it can be available to plants and steeping it in water does not accomplish this at all... much better to use any of the JLF's we make on this channel but very dilute
@@gardenlikeaviking Yup. Buzz just went down. I thought of that too.
Just found your Channel. I'm in zone 8a Deep South. Anything you recommend for your area, that I can not do in my area?
peas would be the main thing as it would be too hot.. you will want to use Purple Hull Peas which love the heat and are delicious... and for sure use the Rattlesnake pole beans as they do great in the heat and humidity... focus on sweet potatoes also they love the heat
Ok Nate the next video is gonna have to be how to protect these directly sown seeds from slugs, birds etc. 👍🏻🤠💪💗
Light Row cover for birds…
great point!!... I have some options in the arsenal

When you grow garlic do you move the top dirt back like you would with onions
I run the risk of birds eating my seeds before they sprout when I direct seed things like sunflowers or corn.
Anyone have a good tip for starting Stevia. Germination rate is terrible. I've tried 3 different times and go none to sprout
I've only had luck with buying and transplanting.
Once you have a Stevia plant, they grow really well by cuttings. They root well in just water. When you cut a piece, use the lower leaves and leave a few top leaves with the stem and pop it in a shot glass with water. You'll get a new plant each time!
