I find it much easier to just throw the seeds into a jar with a small amount of water and a loose fitted lid, laid on its side for a few days to start the germination process. Once the seeds sprout and you can see roots and the first leaves starting, just gently take them one by one and transplant into pots. This way every plant you plant is a guaranteed germination and no wasting time and watering on stuff that doesnt germinate and no thinning later.
... and no thinning later. Thanks. I've been planting my seeds in a row to solve the thinning problem. Your method goes much further in that you plant only guaranteed successes. Thanks from Johannesburg.
if you add some oxygen peroxyde in the water during the first step of germination you will speed up the process and be able to transplant into pots earlier .
@@dandana4647hydrogen peroxide is so good for germination !
I did that last month and forgot about it, now I have a plant growing and I don't know what it is!
@@trollhunter6934 that’s on you bro ALWAYS label your stuff
You know what I like about this man. He really does love gardening and helping others to learn not likes, shares or attention. Thank you dude.💜
I love Tuck and his enthusiasm for fresh veggies.
Tuck will forever have my heart. He looks exactly like my Mackey dog. Gone, will never be forgotten. He was with me for 15 years. Marriages, divorces , death, extreme health, everything! I so hope heaven has our babies there for us and they can talk. I would not have survived those 15 years without my Road Dog. Tuck blesses my soul. A healing balm to the emotions. I love your gardening, and use your advice but Tuck adds another level. He’s a good little man.
this guy's energy is intense. i like it
Tuck is definitely the star of the show, pay him anything he wants.
😁
The taste of the veggies from the garden is sooooo vibrant than the store bought. OMG.
what an awesome energy this guy has
I like seeing people put practices into effect that have been being used for literally thousands of years.
I truly love his enthusiasm, which is just a bonus to the knowledge he displays. I found that, for me, his fast pace explanations are much easier to 'digest' if I choose 75% playback speed instead of the 100%. I guess, for a southern slow-talker, I needed to do that. LOL
good tip :)
I hit the Like button after 7 seconds of the video. This guys energy is as strong as the sunlight growing these plants!!
Tuck is a sweet little gardener.
Your effervescent enthusiasm is contagious!
The most important message I have to add :
This guy is passionate at his gardening. But you can do things simpler and not as optimized and it will still work. If u never grew a plant from seeds just do it!
For Kids and Beginners that want to try to start from seeds i recommend sun flowers or beans. Both is a very easy and is a fast germer/grower.
I absolutely luv your energy, in this crazy world, people like you keep us sane....tuck is awesome as well!!!
My dad insists that after planting the seeds, the potting mix needs to be pressed to have good contact. I found that seeds did better when this wasn't done. Good thing I found your video in which you explain why this is, because he is really stubborn sometimes. ;)
I love Tuck, but more than that, I am so proud of you. I’ve been watching you since I started gardening. Your style flows, you speak clearly, you remember to tell us all the details. You James are so very professional, enthusiastic and entertaining, it’s been great watching you grow along with your garden!

@@nkel6111 what microgreens grower said.
I started my tomatoes in April, worrying that I'm late. Thanks for the great news that I'm right on time. 🙂
I like starting seeds in coco peat. It keeps water quite long without being damp, totally recommend it!
Your videos make me feel happy. I love watching your little dog eat vegetables. I watch the news, get depressed. Then watch james and tuck run around the food garden to cancel out the neg vibes. I guess you were the biggest influence for me to start my fruit trees and start our vegetable garden. My business is with a lot of NFL teams but I could care less about sports. I would be much more excited to meet James and Tuck.
I've been watching this guy for years. Finally got a house with a yard this year and planted some vegetables. Ate my first cucumber 🥒 from my garden yesterday. It was delicious and worth the effort ;). Waiting for the watermelon 🍉, cantaloupe, tomatoes, eggplants 🍆 and other vegetables to get bigger.
A little late, but Congratulations!! What a huge treat in addition to your new house!
GOOD JOB! I'm a newbie, and I can't wait to make your same comment!
@@DandLwelcomehome Thank you. You will, and I hope soon. 🙏🏽
@@blueb4829 Thanks :)
Your Tomato advice is right on the money.
Agree! I've learned to make myself wait until after Mothers Day for tomatoes and peppers.
Love to see Tuck in the garden with you. Hope Tuck’s health continues to improve. James, your enthusiasm is infectious. Love your videos.😊
Best video on the subject I have ever seen! The only thing I do differently ..is that I loosely over fill the plug trays which are in a larger tray to catch the overfill... I quickly level them off with a wide plastic trowel typically used for drywall. Then I give the tray one quick drop which gives me about 3/8th's of an inch to drop the seed which I then lightly cover with soil again and level off again. Works well and is quick.
Pretty much what I do also. His method is so slow!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Let’s Gooo!!! ❤️😁
Ahhh that Tuck! A dog right after my heart! I can't get enough of watching him chomp down on that raw kale. He is a smart puppy. One of my dogs is like that, too. He knows the difference between ripe and green. He inspects the cherry tomatoes all season long and only picks red ones to eat. Same with the raspberries, he is just incredible! Dogs do love fruits and veggies. Just like I do! Thanks to you, for sharing your enthusiasm and wisdom!
Your video just popped up first here, so I watched it, and this was great! I've been growing my own, gardening for nearly 50 years. I started as a teenager, digging a new flower and veggie garden for my Mom. Once I reached 20 I got into studying, big time, about horticulture... whatever books, etc I was able to get my hands on. I really commend you on doing a fabulous job, getting as many details as possible about seed starting into a short video ! People who are just beginning to grow from scratch really need to know these details, as it saves a LOT of trial and error, money, and heartache.... having done all the prep, planting, and everything that goes into it...only to have their hopes of something beautiful happen as the result of all they put into it, as I had experienced many, many times when starting out. So, again: GREAT JOB !!
Of all the gardening channels I watch this one is my favorite! James' enthusiasm is so infectious and I really do feel inspired and like "I can actually do this". Thank you for spreading your knowledge and love and for remembering to share all those really important details. You are saving me so much time and effort! I don't want to grow fungus, just plants. Thank you 💚
I will never stop being impressed with your raised bed covers. I've watched the videos where you show how to do it many times! Thank you very much!
Let’s Gooo!!!❤️😁
Tuck looked like he was having so much fun in the background. Good to see you guys James!
Tuck for President!
I wish all children in the world could feel loved like that!

You are so right about timing. I was always starting butternut squash and cucumbers inside first, only to have them struggle once planted. For those I just direct seed after last frost and they grow so fast, no hardening off, no stress.
I haven’t seen one of your videos in my feed for a long time! Miss you and love Tuck! Thank your for sharing your knowledge and your four-legged family/friend! ❤️ 🐾
James, no one has ever explained seed germination like you. I had no idea of the importance of structure and obstruction playing such a huge part. Always learn from you. Wish you were my neighbor! Thank you for this video! Your garden looks so inviting.
Totally agreed
So true! Total game changer
I will never stop being impressed with your raised bed covers. I very much appreciate the videos you made about how to build them. Thank you!!!
Yes, me too
In fact I built my ones based on James instructions :)
@@ewarischer4009 I'm going to that too!
Oh man we cannot do without the Tuck, he is the Guardian and the quality garant. He is so sweet and surprising! Love love him so much! Always in on the gardening- and the fun- he is your sidekick
This guy is really good every sentence he says is full of useful information.
Hi James, I'm in Dallas Texas; Your channel was the first gardening channel I watched on you-tube regularly. And I fell in love with it. I had never before seen someone with SO MUCH passion and LOVE for gardening, Especially FRUITING TREES! It has been ABSOLUTELY a pleasure.
"the brains behind the whole operation" lol attaboy Tuck!
Sometimes ya just gotta come clean about things
You i seen many raised but them r very nice with the tops that can be covered seedlings growth!!! I give you a 9 on a scale from 1-10

I grew up in NJ with a farmer father from "the old country." We planted on Mother's Day weekend. When I moved to RI, planting in the ground was closer to Memorial weekend.
I would love to watch a video of you telling your story. I'm always fascinated to hear how gardeners got into growing food, especially, those who have an amazing food forest like yours.
I found out about you only a couple of weeks ago, looking for a gardener in NJ that I can learn and be inspired by, this has been a blessing to me, thank you for all your knowledge
Tuck has the demeanor of a doggy that is very confident in the knowing he is utterly loved. I wish all dogs in the world could feel like that.
You are so right....I am a lifelong "rescuer" and never more truth has been spoken.
I wish I could like this comment more than once
I wish all people could feel like that🤦🏾♂️
I wish ALL children and pets could feel safe and loved. STOP ALL WARS....as most children and animals don't have the choice or capability to escape, like adults can, and are killed😭😭😭

so cute to see your little dog running around livinh his best little life
Tuck rules! James rocks! Sharing your knowledge is so appreciated! Grow on!
I love that soil hack! And we love to see someone preaching pre-moistening the soil!!
Thank you so much for explaining everything so carefully. You have made everything so plain that I think I'll be able to do it right this year. I am a 60-year-old disabled veteran that is learning that I better learn how to garden quickly so that we can grow our own food. I feel like it's a huge responsibility and that having a garden is a lot like having a baby it requires a lot of attention and care. I live in Eastern Kentucky but I never had to grow anything before. I'm thankful for your channel and I'll be watching all your videos.
@MoniHeiser Thank you for your service! 🙏🏼
I started gardening at about 5 yrs of age & have always found joy in the whole process.
It's a great lesson for *all* children to witness the miracle of a seed turning into food.
Now I'm a disabled pensioner & live in a tiny apartment. I usually start a container garden on my balcony in late spring.
But this year I tried gardening indoors in the dead of winter with a couple of grow lights. I feel as you do about a responsibility to grow food with all that's going on.
Well, it worked! I have more food than I can eat or store. So I'm sharing with the other pensioner neighbours!
Cheers,
🐱
Just remember plants know how to grow and once established really shouldn’t be that much work except for enjoying your harvest. Stay observant to catch Insect issues, water problems either to much or or not enough and those pesky little critters that can reek havoc. Yes gardening is work but should be enjoyable work sometimes we gotta remind ourselves that. Thanks for your service cheers
What is up with some people writing so long comments on a simple video?
@@vuedanto8576 You don't have to read them
Hi Moni, I am 61 and also a retired veteran and also only started really gardening this season. I learn something from this young man every time I watch him and I love his style. Always upbeat and gets to the point.
Truly, I listened intentionally to all the super gold nuggets you shared on seed starting but when "Tuck" came on the scene...I was so inspired to see his aws ok me cuteness and the brilliant stalk munching. 😄
Tuck eating that kale is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time! That was priceless.
I love how you love your soil with your bare hands. I've given up getting manicures.....it's senseless! I'm starting seeds for the first time this year so thanks for the tips!
Haha thanks Jill! Yeah my hands look terrible, but there is nothing like digging into that soil and I wouldn't change it for anything. Glad to hear your starting your own this year, I hope they grow excellent for you my friend
Dirt under the nails is the new mani 🌱
I want to tell you, I’m using you as my gardening professor! I’ll be headed out to my land within 2 years. I’ve been watching videos and taking notes, gonna do some practice runs at my current place… I really appreciate the experience you are sharing!
I ALWAYS sift any mix purchased from store. Just as you said, there's sticks in it and I've also found small rocks and bits of black plastic and chopped up container tags. Producers sift their products but stuff still gets through. Gunk like that will prevent seed germination, just like you said. I take out the debris and like you I use the sifted sticks around my plants as mulch. Sometimes I use it on the bottom of pots for drainage. You've learned a lot during your last ten years of seed starting. I'm so happy you're sharing your knowledge.
I live in an apartment on the 23td floor, but this was so interesting. You’re a great teacher. Younger minds need to hear you. They will absorb your knowledge like a sponge.
In my experience, the less time a plant stays in the trays, the less chance I have to kill them. This works great, thank you for the tips and great to see Tuck munching away.
Haha, exactly!
The joy and love you show for planting and that sweet pup has brightened what was feeling like a sad day for me. Thanks for cheering me up guys! I'm potting up seeds while watching.
Hope you're having happier days now💕
Loved your video. Just come across you and I thought you and your Head of Security, “Brains”Tuck are delightful! Always looking for authentic, practical and generous people to watch: You fit the bill. Thanks from a new fan in Norfolk UK. 💕
Just started watching your videos recently because the idea of home grown food is causing a sense of purpose to well up in me that I haven't felt before. I love seeing the energy that you and Tuck bring, especially in how you don't let failures get you down. Makes me feel like I can do this too, as I have long struggled with anxiety and trying new things has been something of a sore topic . I live in Michigan and don't have the ideal setup for starting indoors, but this video has given me some ideas on how I can work around it. Thank you!
it's so hard to get started sometimes- but you're right, the failures in gardening are the most important part. How else would we learn? It's easy for me to get discouraged when something fails in the garden, and then I won't realize that I learned new techniques until the next spring when I know what not to do. :)
I always think « there are no fails in gardening, but I do create some costly compost! » haha. In the sense that if anything dies or doesn’t produce well, it’s composted and used to « upgrade » my soil.
Where in Michigan, I live just North of South Bend

Oh jeez...I will think about this next time I complain about my weather in jersey lol
We have had sun in Seattle!
Yeah, I had just planted my tiny fig tree the day before, too! Still looks like it should make it though
Yep we got it here in Maine too, I’m glad I waited to transplant everything!
Just found this by accident. Planted an unsuccessful garden last year. I did just about everything he suggested not to do. Was ready to give up. After watching this I will try one more time this year with these tips as a guide.
Just watched this again. Amazing how much information is packed in less than 20 min... and, stuff I either missed the first time or was not ready for yet.
For sifting, I also use the plastic "trays" that you get when buying small starters - when the bottom is like a screen/lattice and its lighter to use for us "oldies" ! Thank you for your enthusiasm and wonderful videos :)
Ooh. Great idea!
That is a great idea!
Plastic bulb crate works even better/faster than a flat, as it's deeper, can hold more, & you can sift more quickly without spilling.
@@MichaelMikeTheRussianBot what is a plastic bulb crate?
@@MichaelMikeTheRussianBot that is brilliant! Didn’t know what they were so looked it up, will now make a trip to my nursery!
I've been starting seeds and growing my own plants in my garden for almost 10 years now and I cannot believe how much new information I'm getting from this gentleman. I live in South Central Minnesota (zone 4b) And I found all of his information about tomato starting absolutely brilliant. We must have a similar growing zones. I always start my plants too early. I am so ready for spring that I feel like an almost will warmer weather is by starting my plants indoors... And I almost always regret it because they get long and spindly And absolutely ridiculous to try to maneuver. I will definitely be trying this method with my tomatoes this year... Starting late April and transplanting mid-may. 1000 thank yous!
I love Tuc. He is adorable eating away at his veggie snacks 😜
So true what you said about the "right time" for plants to be ready to grow. I always start too early and the plants just sit there UNTIL THE TIME IS RIGHT and then, and only then, do they explode.
tuck snacking on some home grown produce is what i have been missing all these months 💕
Ditto. Same for my own dog. She misses the garden veggies- especially cucumbers.
So nice to see you and Tuck back in the garden! :)
Love seeing Tuck at the helm of the garden! 💖🐾🐾
I've watched hundreds of seed starting videos over the years and I believe this is the best one I've ever seen. Thought I'd heard it all, but you just upped my game in multiple ways. Much appreciated friend.
This is one of the best seed starting videos. Thank you, James! You can't learn farming overnight. I have been a food gardener for decades, but I learn a lot from you.
Sure you can learn farming overnight, on RUclips. Of course you might not be experienced expert but then you just keep on learning.
It's nice to watch and see how many things I'm doing wrong.
That’s good advice about starting seeds. What are “brassicas?”

James. You make things incredibly easy to raise healthy vigorous plants. Thank You sooooo much for Your help. I love Your helper Tuck too. Very Hadsome James.
My dad did that with a framed peice of porch screening when I was a kid👍 I always remember that and do it myself..saves me lots of money on seed potting mix.
I learned more in your video than I have learned from multitudes of others for the last year. thank you so much for the awesome tips!
I fell in love with Tuck and his kale chomping, so cute.
Thanks for your enthusiasm and the good information. Thanks also for not falling into the amateur trap of playing music all the time you’re speaking. It is so refreshing just to hear an informative, well delivered talk.

Tuck is so cute. I love to see him. Just adorable. So are you as well! I really like your presentation and insightful info. keep it up. I lived in Jersey for over 30 yrs. and loved it.
As always thank you for the great advice!!! It’s so great to see you and Tuck back in action!!!!

Letting my (homies from Cherry Hill) new(er) gardener friends know about you, James! I am so glad you are helping out folks in Jersey soil. Not all of us are natural-born gardeners!
I needed to hear the last part about the timing of your tomato seedlings. That was really helpful. I've struggled with leggy tomato starts in the past and I also noticed that they don't do much in the ground when I plant them early. Your way of doing it takes out the stress of it.

I find that growing crops is easier provided that your beds are built and prepped. This year I spent alot of my time building my beds, getting soil, ect but I cant wait for next year when everything is ready to go
