Thank you for the video! Very informative! I would just suggest that you minimize how much you uptalk when your narrate. It can be a little difficult to listen to even for short periods of time (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_rising_terminal)
This feels like a Christmas present! I LOVE herbs! I just split and shared mine with my Mother and gave her an indoor grow rack with lighting to help her grow lettuces and herbs through the winter. I set it up for her yesterday! Love this video! Thank you!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I think she really likes it. I hope she can figure it out. She used to grow pretty amazing gardens when I was a kid. If she can't it will just give me even more of a reason to visit and help her. Merry Christmas to you :)
Jeff we eat a lot of cilantro and I have a heck of a time growing it. After watching this quickie I started some 4” pots with your method, on a 80F mat under a dome. I’ll let you know how I do.
Jeff I gotta tell ya, you’ve made me so happy. This methods works perfectly! I’ve had trouble with cilantro, but no longer. Even living in an atmospheric river, I am having fun growing herbs indoors. Thank you !!
Appreciate this video! Started some indoor herbs and recently bought some cilantro starters and seeds Just got my little containers in the mail yesterday so this video was perfect timing, I never knew about this paper towel method and I will be trying that! Thank you!! 🌱🌞💪👏
Perfect tip about the paper towel and hopefully it deters fungus gnats as I am always plagued with them. Have a fantastic week Jeff more snow on the way 😢 🤷♀️🎄🧑🎄❄️⛄️
I love you -- haven't commented in awhile but watch often -- maintaining 80-90 degrees is a challenge. My established herbs winter over well Zone 6b (Pennsylvania) outside although patchy, and I'm picking the scraps, but it would be great to have them through the winter, hardy, fresh and pickable for cooking.
Hey, nice to hear from you again Tom!! Yeah, I love the hardy herbs like Thyme, Oregano, and Rosemary....the indoor ones only need the heat for germination....after that, you can back down the temps to just room temperature. Cheers man! :-)
When you showcase the basil at 4 weeks, this is 4 weeks after germination stage correct? If not then wow you have the fastest growing seedlings I've seen!
Ok that paper towel trick is genius especially for me who tends to overwater. So don't water until towel is dry 👍🏻 I have a feeling this might deter those fungus gnats??
Hi Jeff, great tips on how to grow herbs, im going to try this out as I did struggle to get them to germinate. Although, I thnk its too cold but, should I use my propogater? Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂
QUESTION: I made a soil-less seed starting mix (vermiculite, worm castings and coco coir). Can I grow them to maturity using this mix (plus water soluable fertilizer), or will I have to use potting soil eventually?
What are your thoughts on growing Garlic and Onions indoors during Winter in containers? I Have 4 Garlic and 2 onions that rooted and potted. My spare bedroom is equipped with grow lights and full spectrum lights and a heater to keep the temperature in the mid 70s. Currently growing four 2+ year old Eureka Lemon trees, 20 Valencia Orange seedlings and 6 Ohio Buckeye seedlings. And 4 Tomato seedlings. P.S. I live in Northeast Coastal South Carolina near North Myrtle Beach.
I tried this and only have 2 out of 5 that have any growth. Any tips for what I might be doing wrong? I followed the instructions in this video. It’s been 3.5 weeks now. I may give up.
It always comes down to temperature and moisture. Moisture to initiate germination and heat to dictate how fast it goes. Too wet, the seeds drown. Too dry, they don't crack the seed coat properly. Too hot and the seeds get cooked. Too cold however, and they take too long to sprout properly.
Hi Jeff! LOVE your videos. I was wonderinf if you can recommend any indoor light for growing plants &/veggies. I don't have a lot of space and my place doesnt get enough sunlight. The light I bought and tried 2 years ago was an epic fail; everything eventually died. Please help lol Thanks 😊
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I had it in a heat mat for like almost three weeks I put a pot with whole cilantro and crushed I even tried the pre germinate with paperwork in a zippy
👣👣 a couple neat tricks i found as well are when planting small seeds I place seeds in the palm of my hand and wet the end of a chop stick or similar and it picks up seeds one at a time even super small ones like celery or carrots etc. Place them in your hole and they come right off works amazing. I also use a syringe with no needle for watering. It is so soft and gentle no soil gets disturbed. I am currently using a 25ml syringe I got from the feed mill.👣👣👣👣

Thank you for the paper towel trick I'm going to try that this year
I'm always up for a garden quickie! How did I miss this? 😳 💖
Because it was toooo quick? :-)

Hey right on! Let us know how it goes!
Will do!! I just finished my first batch! Have a great day! 🤞
@@mamabearthrives7815 awesome! Cheers!
Perfect tip about the paper towel and hopefully it deters fungus gnats as I am always plagued with them. Have a fantastic week Jeff more snow on the way 😢 🤷♀️🎄🧑🎄❄️⛄️
It totally does! If you can keep it on until a good mat of leaves are out, you'll avoid the buggers altogether! :-)
I’ve heard some gardeners say it’s helpful to pour boiling water through your potting soil first… what are your thoughts on that? Thanks!
@@Noniofseven I have done this s as ms also use boiling water to swell my coir but gnats tend to come back once soil cools later.
Such a cool dude.
Very.....! ;-)
Can't wait to try this.
Cheers Elizabeth, let us know if you like the technique!!
Keep the garden game strong..I love it💪
Great tip with the paper towel Jeff thanks
Yea, a new method to try👍😊
Fun times Wendy! :-)
I LOVE watching your garden quickies!!!! Thank you!

Best of luck! 🙂

I love the video and idea about the paper towel. Please do a quick video on lighting. I really need help with that. Especially affordable and easy.
Nice tip 👌
Thanks D N! 🙂
You make it look so easy ❤

100% correct! It really makes the germination process fool proof!
I just got this and it's awesome .
Thanks Carmella!
Thank you!
thanks for the info im learning alot off your channel God Bless
Wow how cool 😎 is that!! Your awesome. Thankyou 👍 😋
Cheers, thanks for watching!
Hi Jeff, great tips on how to grow herbs, im going to try this out as I did struggle to get them to germinate. Although, I thnk its too cold but, should I use my propogater? Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂
Definitely Christine..80-90F (26-32C) is what you are after. :-)
QUESTION: I made a soil-less seed starting mix (vermiculite, worm castings and coco coir). Can I grow them to maturity using this mix (plus water soluable fertilizer), or will I have to use potting soil eventually?
If you're adding food to the mix, then most certainly you can grow herbs soil-less. 🙂
Thank you soo much!
Cheers, thanks for watching!
Love!

What are your thoughts on growing Garlic and Onions indoors during Winter in containers? I Have 4 Garlic and 2 onions that rooted and potted.

Currently growing four 2+ year old Eureka Lemon trees, 20 Valencia Orange seedlings and 6 Ohio Buckeye seedlings.
And 4 Tomato seedlings. P.S. I live in Northeast Coastal South Carolina near North Myrtle Beach.
Well, if it's indoors what type of lighting?
I use the white full spectrum lighting with a three rack grow rack. Fantastico!
Either a south facing window at the most rudimentary level, all the way up to full spectrum LED. Dealer's choice. More light, the better.
More herb vids!
100%!!
I tried this and only have 2 out of 5 that have any growth. Any tips for what I might be doing wrong? I followed the instructions in this video. It’s been 3.5 weeks now. I may give up.

@@TheRipeTomatoFarms okay thanks! I’ve been watering every other day and they are next to my east facing window.
thank you. question- While the seeds are under towel, does light matter, or only temperature?
Hey Jason, for 95% of seeds, its only moisture and temperature. Some seeds do sort of need light to sprout sometimes (lettuce).
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thank you.
@@jasonstouder no problem!
I didn't know you can sow cilantro seeds that close together.
Hi Jeff! LOVE your videos. I was wonderinf if you can recommend any indoor light for growing plants &/veggies. I don't have a lot of space and my place doesnt get enough sunlight. The light I bought and tried 2 years ago was an epic fail; everything eventually died. Please help lol Thanks 😊
Thanks Tash! I've had great success with these ones: amzn.to/3ZjICvn They come in different sizes as well.
Ok great! THANK YOU! All the best with your amazing channel. Will try growing garlic now lol
Wow how easy is this? Thanks
Can I plant the herbs in seed starter soil then transplant them?
100% yes you can! :-)
Do you use the same paper towel? Or should the paper towel be change every time you water?
Hey Mel, I just leave the same one on the whole time.
Help, my indoor garden is being destroyed by aphids. What do I do now ?
2 minutes is the max I can listen to this guy's interrogative tone.
My cilantro not germinate worth a damn or sage😅
@@CustomCroshae what temperatures? Cilantro likes it warm to sprout.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I had it in a heat mat for like almost three weeks I put a pot with whole cilantro and crushed I even tried the pre germinate with paperwork in a zippy
