1. Nitrogen is needed
2. Transplant shock
3. You are Impatient
4. Soil health - compacted
5. Overwatering
6. Temperature - too cold or too hot
7. The plant is close to the end anyway
Well it is Michigan and nights of 30 doesn't help
🙏
Thank you
8. The plant hates you and wants you to suffer
@@Detroit-gx5nd is that your personal experience?
If you’re planting a perennial plant remember that the first year they sleep, the second year they creep and the third year they leap. 💐🌻🌼🌸🌺
Thank you, I had forgotten that
So by the 3rd year my pepper plants should flourished, thats if I overwinter them.
I have found that with my blueberries.
Good to know
🤯
Ya'll, this video is a year old and I'm pretty sure I've watched it before, but man oh man, did I need it today. I'm so glad we have this massive RUclips list of videos to go through whenever we need it.
@4:28, gardening, taught me a different level of patience; like becoming a parent, taught me a different level of responsibility!
You and "Self Sufficient Me" are so inspirational!
Agreed!
Have you buried a kangaroo in your garden?
@@davememelandcanada6722 Not yet, lol...I’m in America, so I will have to experience that with Mark. As we have no Kangaroo, but we do have opossum. Hmm...
Mark and Luke are some cool dudes. Really positive and informative!
If you haven't ever watch him you should check out James Prigioni. He has some good tips and brings a lot of energy.
We had a consultation with Luke last week. He was great! Extremely helpful, polite, never seemed rushed, seemed very interested helping our garden problems and answering questions. Definitely worth the money. We were having several of the issues he mentioned on this video. Added bloodmeal and sand, perlite to loosen the soil. I am keeping my fingers crossed this helps.
If you grow in small space like me - sometimes plants nearby get taller, and start to shade one next to it. That slows the growth. You might start seeing plant stretching to get light.
Love how you always talk like you are the plant Luke! Great ep!
This title feels like a personal attack because it’s like you read my garden’s mind :’-) LOL!
My plants will be grateful for your advice as always! Thank you! 💚🌈
The first 10% of growth take 30-50% of the time to maturity! I always take days off from the garden so I get to see some noticeable amounts of growth .
Mushroom compost!!
This will be my 2nd year gardening. It’s also about learning what works .
Lol. I can't speak for all gardeners but you're right about me: I'm definitely impatient in the garden. You get so excited to see stuff grow! (Its basically my only form of entertainment in lockdown lol)
I hear ya!! We had a day here last week almost in the 90s in Wisconsin and now it’s back down to the 30s again during the night time!
Has anyone watched his much older videos? I have and they are still very informational. Didn't realize he has been doing this chanel for over ten years recently became a subscriber. Thanks for everything your doing great.
It’s cold and rainy here. Everything is growing slowly.
There is 'Knowledge for Living' in growing a Garden... Gardening teaches and cultivates patience, humility, planning, empathy, discovery, study, wonderment and soulful happiness; Bonus point: you don't need to pay for a gym membership to get the exercise that's good for you from working in the garden. After you begin learning the lessons that your garden has in store for you, you begin to Recognize how these benefits can be transferred and applied throughout your Life. Whilst the "learning' aspect Never Ends, Your own personal and spiritual enlightenment grows with each season, as IS the perpetual cycle on Earth. Embrace Dirty fingernails; sweet soil dabblings to all whom play with it! May your good bacteria flourish and help keep your garden bountiful. Humans were made for this... TY, Luke.
Best comment ever made about gardening ❤️
Lol I want my flowers to grow 100mph for sure but I love the whole process of planting from seed and watching them grow into something beautiful. Thank you for all this great information
Dude, you’re on track to reach 1M subscribers by the end of the growing season, I’m taking bets!
And you seriously deserve it. One of the most knowledgeable gardeners and I always appreciated the science angle of “you’re going to do THIS because the plant is doing THIS” and not a “it works so I do it” approach. I started watching back when I was in college for horticulture, years ago and I come back here year after year for more knowledge!
Thanks dude! Stay golden!
definitely possible since he is one of the biggest gardener faces on youtube
Quick question for you - Several types of plants such as beans and peppers will stop growing taller if you clip off the top of the plant once it has reached the top of the support structure. Will tomatoes do the same thing - stop growing taller if you clip them and put their growth into the lower portion of the plant?
@@lakeerieprepper4073 Yeah they will, tomatoes are actually the best at it sense they naturally grow suckers which are technically just side branches
My dad's tomato plants stopped growing and started yellowing. I found out he only used compost/manure mix as his fertilizer and there was very LOW nitrogen in that. I added some osmocote, which I have used for years in my garden, and the 14-14-14 has started to bring them back. Fairly sure it was the lack of nitrogen, as you said. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
Mine too. Wondering if I should add in more wood chips
This video came at the right time for me, in Western PA we've had a stretch of cold and rainy weather and my poor little beet sprouts haven't been growing like I thought they should.
We all lack patience. I get so darn excited to see the results of my efforts and so darn sad when the growth cycle ends. There is just no pleasing this old gardener! Love your channel!👍🏻👍🏻
I am not a novice gardener, and I (along with several other gardeners in my area and a local nursery) have been frustrated by the absolute snail-like pace of seedling growth and germination this year. I know it's the weather, which has been alternating between little runs of days in the 80s followed by week in the 40s, then back to the 80s for a couple days, then back to the 40s. Super frustrating. My flower garden is usually about 6 inches high at this point, but this year the biggest of my seedlings are 2 inches high. 😞 its just one of those years.
I've been watching Luke since the days when he was just a young'n and growing unique plants indoors. He was either late high school or just in college back then.
Luke: gardeners are some of the most impatient people.
Me: I feel attacked 😆
In addition, i planted a lemon tree a long time ago and i gave it some air by removing some of the matter and soil near the roots and i made sure to get down to the roots essentially letting it breathe.
Less than a week later it pops out flower bulbs.
In conclusion, you need sun, water, soil and air!
Some plants lay dormant at night others grow faster in the night.
Thats from my experience.
Different types of plants grow differently and need different things. I believe the only way to learn is to do it yourself.
Hey Luke !! LOVE your channel and now if you have what I need I only buy your seeds. The viability rate is astonishing, even compared to the old standbys. Your videos are very informative but I have a request. Could you throw in more pictures of YOUR garden in your tutorials ? Your garden is SOOO inspiring and when you do show your progress I find that I am on fire to use what you teach us !!
Keep up the good work. My garden has gone from crappy to not to bad in the 3 years that i have been watching you ! My wife used to ask me why we were wasting money on gardening, now she is proud and we share our produce with friends and family ! Most of the family are gardeners and they are tickled pink with what produce we share.
The knuckle you’re talking about is your PIP joint 😁
Thanks for always producing informative content. You’ve seriously helped me in my gardening journey.
I just found your channel on the home page.
Great advice but i wasn't expecting just a sit down/ just talking video.
Some visuals either on screen to illustrate or going to a plant to talk about it and maybe add chapters to explain each segment just to break up the video into manageable pieces to make the points more digestible and highlight the justification of including them in the video.
I'm not hating. I just found that it was a lot of information to take in and i feel that i would be more engaged in what you were saying if it was broken down a bit. I have just subscribed as i am sure i can pick up some other great gardening tips!
Not to worry, he usually does walkabouts and demos. I have ADD, and "get to the point!" is always on the tip of my tongue, so I grin and bear it, breathe, and hang in there with the monologue bc I know from experience I won't regret it. Most YT videos are too long and drawn out for me anyway--not just MIgardener's. 🤦♀️
Your virtual garden consultations are a brilliant idea!
For three or four years now, it seems like I come in from the garden a couple times a month and think "Ugh, haven't seen this before, what am I going to do about it?" And then I see you that afternoon with a new video with the answer. Kinda spooky.
Will you do a video about common bugs, friends & foes?
He does have one it's older about snails, slugs and stuff. I just watched it the other day. this gentleman is very knowledgeable and been doing this for 10 years recently subscribed to his channel as he explains it well and is very nice and knowledgeable, props to his parents for teaching him. Good info on that but great suggestion.
I have been wondering why people can't do garden consultations! I needed this all the time. Glad someone started.
I'm relatively new to gardening and consider this information very valuable. Thank you so much, Luke!
Plants need...Tender loving. Care..love gardening
We have so much more confidence in our garden this year thanks to your videos. I spent all my late night nursing sessions over the last year listening and learning, and we are super excited!
Such a timely topic! I was just wondering why everything seems to be slowing down in the garden.
Thanks for the information. I'm in Maine. The weather is going from 90's & high humidity for 5 days to rain, cold & 40 degree nights for the past few weeks. I hope the weather straightens out!
Thank you for all the information. I’m one of those who may be a bit inpatient waiting for my vegetables to grow. I was starting to think I have done something wrong but now I know, just be patient!🌺
It's like you are reading my mind!!! All of it! Thank you Luke! Also, I started my YT video with a shout out to you-- I drink my coffee in my new garden most every day with your mug! Be well.
Thank you I needed this information for my garden. It wasn’t growing for weeks
Pretty sure the late cold front slowed down my pepper plants. They survived by a thread but stopped growing for a couple weeks.
If I put my peppers out now they'd toast. Cold toast!
I haven't dared to put out peas & lettuce yet, but it's warming up... only like a quarter inch of ice on the chickens' buckets this morning. 🤷♀️
@@cindyskillman544 depending on where you are you could start peas and lettuce right now. They are both cold hardy plants that can survive a freeze. I planted my first round of peas mid april when there was still snow on the ground!
Agreed Reggie. I would start both inside and then move them out any time. My greens and peas loved overwintering. We get down to 25F.
You could also plant Kale. We have days of below freezing all winter and the kale I planted in the fall just bolted about a month ago. Check out a video Jess at Roots and Refuge Farm did about growing lettuce in a bag of soil with a container top as a "greenhouse". I did this over the winter and it worked great!!
Thank you very much for this video. Helps to answer a lot of questions.
This is a great video. You solidified what my instincts have been saying. I'm a 2nd year Gardner so I'm learning the plants behavior not so much production.
Thanks so much Luke, I needed that!
Not sure if this helps too but when they’re still in pots, the size of the pot matters. I have peppers and coleus where I’ve planted some in bigger outs and left some in the small cells, and wow the ones in the bigger pots are definitely bigger plants.
That will happen because if in to small of a pot the plant can get route bound
He seriously has some of the best gardening videos out there, and I've watched a ton! I have learned SO much!
The only time I'm an impatient gardener is when I'm waiting for sprouts to show up!
Oml its the same for me especially if it takes longer then what it says on the seed pack
I’ve learned to be patient, but it’s hard. You will be rewarded however. A week after planting my Cherokee Black Beans, seeing nothing, I went out to each and every one in my row up about 3 inches overnight this morning! How gratifying.
Boy man... Carrots right
just waiting for spring.....tough waiting
Hah! My carrots popped, waiting for the rest though, out there at 3 am with the interrogation light
We needed this video. Thank you Luke. Patience is our problem (likely), but we’re working on it. Gardening definately helps to learn this life-skill.
One thing we do is start from seed indoor, move to greenhouse outdoors (50 inside night setting) then outdoors in day (60-70). This acclimation gets them able to move into ground on each plant type allowance. We add slow release fertilizer into soil, feed fish emulsion once a month, and boogie brew tea once a week. Our pepper plants use NFTG once a week. Lastly, drip lines are separated by flowers and veggies. Key is separating days of watering so it can dry out slightly. I personally look at what spacing and time of water does leading to the week amount, in our case it’s a gallon of water total. Doing this optimizes growth and health for us.
Freaking awesome information. You rattled off things that I never thought of especially being a semi-new gardener. Also, was that Aidan who walked by in the background?! LMAO he packed an order of mine a few weeks ago with lots of love and I appreciated it! Keep the informational and garden love vlogs coming 🤗💚💚
thanks for all the advice, always welcome from you. I havent planted much here in northern michigan yet, the weather at night is still staying about 30 to 34. soon looks like 40's im goin to chance it. ive been hardening off a little at a time when not below 40 during the day just taking longer than I have planned. but I dont want to lose everything like the past two years patience kelly from michigan
I've grown garden in my back yard past 3 years. 1st year I tilled the clay soil I have with garden soil and that's it. This year amended soil with manure, in ground and potting soil. Was just looking at pics from 3 years ago. My toms at this point back then were tall and just about to put out flowers. Today they're only 1/4 -1/3 as tall as the previous. Starting to feel like I should not have amended the soil with the extras.
The same thing is going on with my squash. Same time 3 years ago it was already beginning it's trail at the top of the fence. Today it's still low to ground.
All my plants are green, look healthy, not many bugs.
Trying to be patient
My plants are growing fabulously. THANKS TO MY MI GARDENER SEEDS!!! And my ultra good soil and tea. 🤣 😎 Thank you Luke!
Tea?what tea,compost tea? Please share ur secrets lol!
Hey man, it is time for you to hit 1,000,000 subscribers. Keep it up, thank you and God bless you
Goal surpassed in just a couple days. You sir need to set higher goals, you WILL reach them. Your content and information is consistent, sound and soild, and delivered well. Keep up the good work. This is my first year growing anything and I learn much from your channel. Thank you. With all sincerity
Great info. Thank you!
Oakland county giving love!
"I don't have a snorkel"...haha--I loved that!😂
I laughed harder than of should have at that. Lol. Luke's dad jokes are great
Thank you for sharing this timely information!
Great job Luke!
Thank you for making this video!!
Thank you, luke we started a second garden on a new property and i cant believe how slow they are growing! Its less than a mile away but the soil has a ton of thick clay, while my home soil is really sandy. Bumming me out. Potatoes planted the same day sprouted here but not there.
I think I'm just impatient. And in Colorado we go from 80 degrees to 20 degrees in the same week.
Thank you!!!
This is so educational, at least for me. My Eggplants are struggling. I planed them 3 weeks ago and they have not grown one inch.
You folks just starting out gardening have no clue how lucky you are to have this guy. Man he would of saved a lot of trial and error in my early days.
I have been watching your videos for years. This is your best video.
Im so impatient waiting until May 15 to plant out my tomatoes.
Wow
Thats SO cool you're doing consultations!
Good video with helpful tips. Very true on the patience is key. I was so impatient with my Swiss chard in the fall and now it’s producing so much for me, cut and come again.
Mine did come back this year after winter was gone
Learned why my garden in southwest Florida last year didn’t produce anything until it was time for us to move to the Midwest in October. It was too hot so good to know and I plan on putting some fish emulsion spray on my garden now. Gonna try applying it with a spray bottle so I don’t over do it with my clay soil that can be really wet.
This was a perfect topic for MY day. 😂 our jalapeños have stunted and you helped me to do an elimination process! I can’t wait to experiment tomorrow 👀.
Thank you! Great information!!
Thank you so much for this video! Very informative and I do realize that I am impatient. But listening to you I realize there are so many factors that have to be ideal for the plant to grow
Great information!! Thank you, this should really help this summer
Thank you for this helpful info!
I'm totally impatient! I planted celery last year only to have skinnier than a pencil ribs. So I never really nurtured it and let it over-winter. Then in February, it took off... It just needed a 10 month starting process
Interesting, thanks
Thank you for this info! Needed it 💕☀️🌱
Great video! Really well explained.
My purslane I got from you never germinated, nor did my French breakfast radishes. my strawberry spinach sprouted over winter in a grow room and has been in the greenhouse for two months and is still a tiny sprout. I ordered some more, I’ll keep trying. I don’t know if it was the seeds or me. It’s all there on my channel. I’m a beginner gardener so I’m very flawed, five years ago I googled “plants you cannot kill” and that’s where it all started. Thanks for your videos,I learn a lot from you.
Good garden tips..
Thank you. Peace and blessings from Idaho, julie
Thanks.
Just transferred my seedlings to larger pots and added Trifecta (purchased from MI Gardener). WOW!!! What a difference... Those seedlings never looked healthier. I have never used Trifecta and will never go without from now on. THANKS Luke!
as always,a very good video.Thank you!
I think you have hit why I have such a tough time with slow growth. I live in high mountain desert which gets down to 40 degrees at night and up to 80-90 degrees in the day, which is incredibly stressful for the transplants.
I too am in high mntn desert dealing with cold nights and fierce sunshine days. I just keep replanting seeds. Lol
me, too.
AWESOME tips!
Great video, thanks for the tips!
Always a good review of things to watch out for! Thanks
Thanks for making this video
Thank you,you wonderful human being
Thank u for the info
Thanks
Lol 85-90 it's been that everyday here in SE Texas the last couple of weeks. Our season gets HOT! Just got to grow the right stuff.
1st year I have used mushroom compost in my garden. It is a GAME CHANGER!! Tomatoes already coming on. Live in Broken Arrow Oklahoma
Great tips.
Thankyou
i did winter sowing, left the plants the last month with the containers open, so hoping the transition is smoother for the plants
It snowed today. It's May. Can I blame my climate? I'll blame my climate. Whoever thought living in Finland is a good idea! Luckily my peas don't seem to mind but I need to get the tomatoes out of the house sooner rather than later...
How long is your frost free growing time? I am in New Jersey, USA, and my growing season is about six months.
Do you follow Richard Perkins on RUclips? He’s farming in Finland and is a wealth of knowledge. Love him💕
Great insight!
The local fish market gave me 20lbs of fish entrails. :-)
Thank You 👍🏻
