@Garden Fundamentals I live in Zone 8A. I have not planted a garden in 3+ years due to my health. I am experimenting with germinating some seeds and placing them directly into the garden soil, instead of small pots. My grandparents had beautiful gardens and always planted seeds directly into the garden.
Peas. beans, onion sets, garlic, shallots and potatoes are all pretty dependable beginner crops to grow. Add in some salad crops like lettuce, scallions, beetroot, and a few tumbling tomatoes in a few hanging baskets. That's a pretty good start for any beginner, and they should actually get something worthwhile.
Love my sweet 100s! They have been self seeding for years now in zone 3 in garden but starts come from over wintered pepper pots w cherry tomatoes seeds saved in garden soil. They self germinate w solstice in un heated garage.
After watching your videos, my work efficiency improved by 1000-fold. I can't thank God enough for introducing you to me. Being my teacher, you will always be in my prayers. Stay blessed! 💕
I try to get an early start on tomato & pepper plants by buying few of them as soon as they are in the stores. I usually transplant them into bigger pots and put them outside in a sunny spot close to the house. In this way I can leave them outside during the day to get sun but move them inside at night when the temperature drops.
I live zone 6 LFD 4/30. Cold frame grew tomatoes and a pumpkin from seeds dropped last year. Tomatoes do this every year.. and they never get diseased. I usually pull them because there in a area I don't want them to grow. This year going to leave one.
Again....thank you so much for taking the time to explain things. What i don't know about growing a few veggies is a lot but thanks to u, I'm learning....... Chatham 🇨🇦
I'm direct seeding most. But all ears An easy, nutritional veg, okra. An acquired taste, yes. But if you've good lawn soil, it easy as sticking seed in the ground.
Beginning gardeners also miss out on succession planting to increase yield, it's better to plant lettuce, cilantro, beans. It spreads the risk that you planted on the wrong day.
I live in Cornwall Ontario and i Still haven’t started my tomato seeds San Marzano. When should I plant my patty pan squash seeds in doors or out direct. Also I want to pant Swiss shard ruby red and mixed too
QUESTION: I hope you see this? I figured I would ask an expert. I was told that watering your plants with water that came from a water softener would not hurt your plants. I was under the impression because it has salt in the water it would kill your plants. The guy was adamant that it wouldn’t hurt my plants. I think he was trying to sell me a water softener, he had already checked my furnace and said by the way we now have added plumbing as something they would be able to help us with and suggested a water softener. So was he pulling my leg just trying to sell me something?❄️💚🙃
@@Gardenfundamentals1 Same here in the north of Ireland. Water mains goes to the kitchen sink first. And almost all outdoor taps will be plumbed in right on the mains as it enters the house.
Why start early? Can't wait to garden. lol, me neither. Counting seeds, checking plastic pots, soil and grow-light bulbs, I sincerely am looking forward to the day when I can start sowing seeds.
Runs out and turns off his heating mat he's had on for 3 weeks...
Great presentation. Wish I found your channel a long time ago.

Great video, glad I found you on maritime gardener, been gardening over 25 years and still picking up pointers from this
Always something new to learn.

Great tip on the beans/peas combo. I'm really enjoying these longer videos.

I multisow beetroot & radish in cell rays, 4-5 plants per cell & have excellent yields.
Awesome video, so informative. Keep it up

I can't stand the sliminess but thinking of getting seeds of the"star" variety for my mom.

Don't use water from a water softener that uses salt. However, if installed correctly the kitchen sink and all outdoor taps will bypass the softener.

Can't wait to garden.

mice get everything I direct sow.
If you have mint put mint leaves around and on where you have sown the seed, mice cannot smell the seeds.👍🏻🤠
Try chitting the seed first, only carrot,parsnip and potato need planting direct.👍🏻🤠
Get a cat!
