Love your videos! Your garden size speaks to so many of us. To save time, I use an empty tray to press into a tray with soil, instead of my fingers. And an inexpensive tablecloth with a thin foam backing will help with the antique table and also muffle some of the harder working noises. Thanks for the great videos!
+Mamie MW good idea on the empty tray and the foam backed tablecloth… thanks!
It's good to have a channel like yours, that shows how to start and grow flowers on a more normal (yard size) scale! Also, your new studio setup is so pretty and welcoming! Great job!
+EyreRose Cottage 💚💚 thanks! Yes, I need to grow small to fit my space!
Thank you so much for sharing the seed trays! Like you I’m in a smaller yard, zone 8A and despite wanting to plant 96 seedlings, I don’t have the space. I immediately ordered the same items from Vego. Looking forward to future videos of how they do.
+Celeste Mayse yay! Let me know what you think of them. My seedlings are already up and doing well!
The new flowers are amazing can’t wait to see them grow on. Love the new seed trays. I like the new potting soil mat, looks like it worked out great.
+michelle pollino the mat ended up working great!
God blessed texas! Nice video. I just ordered from seedway.
+lowdollar23 💚💚💚
Great job! Thank you!
+Karen Schwartz You are welcome! 💚
Hi, I just discovered your channel this morning, I find your style refreshing, a nice blend of enthusiasm while still being relaxed and relatable. Thanks for the great seed starting info pertaining to a smaller garden.
+Heidi Jones aww thanks Heidi! I appreciate the kind words!
I, too, started way too many plants last year, but in some respects, it being my first year, didn't know any better. This video supports those of us who want small cut flower areas that we can grow smaller quantities.
I'm zone 7, so I will start seeds in late Feb and have incorporated your calendar idea by setting the weeks from my last frost date and working towards that date. Thanks for that!!! And thanks for all you've shared for the backyard gardener who wants cut flowers!!
+Janice Tanner you always give such detailed feedback on my video … I’m thankful!
Go Frogs 🐸💜
+M Ortiz 💜💜💜
Those new seed starting trays look very interesting. I agree they would give you more options that the big 72 cell trays. They also look to be much less flimsy. The only plants I could use 72 of would probably be marigolds as I like to plant them in mass. Good luck! Love your new studio space.
+Jennifer Hooks yes I felt like they were much sturdier than anything else I have used in the past.
Great video and advice. Thanks for the tips on the new products. Love your new "play area". It has a very pretty and relaxing feel .
+Tj Theis it feels great to have a designated area that doesn’t interfere with the family life!
Such an inspiration ❤
+Claire Bucknell 💚💚💚
Good Wednesday morning Amanda. Those seed starting trays look perfect and of course so does your plant arrangement. Thanks for sharing another great video with all your fantastic and inspiring gardening tips. 😁🌼🌼 .
Thank you! You too!
@@shesamadgardener You're welcome Amanda and have a great Friday and weekend!
Amanda, those new seed starting trays look fantastic!
If you want more study plants, try winter sowing in milk jugs outside = great method!
+Helen Houston I have t done well with winter sowing … I think it’s because of our seesaw temps.
Super helpful Amanda!
+Joyce Rapezzi 💚💚💚
Thank you for sharing the process and your seeding tools. I was just looking at purchasing one of those plastic potting trays but the mat seems like a much better option for me (less hassle to worry about storage).
Also picked up a tip about cold stratifying strawflowers.
So glad the algorithm recommended your video. Off to look at more
+Aisha C the mat is pretty inexpensive as well!
Love those trays! 🤩
+Nicole Smith Gardening thanks, they are working great so far!
Great video and those seed trays look fantastic. I also can relate to the small garden and not wanting massive of seedlings. I'm trying winter sowing this year, for the first time, in water jugs. I seeded hardy annuals the 1st week in January.
+Susan Schellberg winter sowing can have great results.
So great that you were able to get the first sets of seedlings started. One thing I would like is if you are not on facebook, tik toc or instagram which I will use I would like to see the updates on You tube as well. Just to be fair. Otherwise love your videos.
+K P agreed! I just started using the RUclips Community tab in my channel this week! There are lots of people who don’t use the social media platforms, so I’m hoping the Community Tab will help!
I got my seed heat mat today and my 2nd grow light is on the way!!! Countdown to Verbascum (southern charm) and then my yellow bell tomatoes...
+None Stated sweet! You are all set!
Those cell trays are very cool. I haven't heard of them. Do they come in bigger packs than what you have ?
1st seeds for 2023. Very exciting. I started some snaps last night in soil blocks...im new to this method so we will see....
+Nikki Holton they do not currently come in larger packs with more cells in each but it’s a new product so I feel that they will make changes and additions over time.
Adding the potting mix to your seed starting mix are you concerned with introducing fungus gnats to your plant room? You may consider adding boiling water to kill the fungus gnats eggs!
+From seed to Bloom media yes I’ve done the boiling water a few times and still got fungus gnats. They don’t really bother me and I use hydrogen peroxide and sticky traps if they show up. But I know they annoy a lot of people!
@@shesamadgardener Yes the sticky traps help more than anything in my experience, I do still get a few but I combat them at 1st sight of the problem.
LOVE this idea!! ❤ Would these exact lights work for all your typical indoor plants?
I’ve been looking for lighting for my plant shelves, but I’m so confused on what to get.
I can’t say that they would definitely work for indoor plants as I don’t use them for that but it makes sense that they would.
Glad you're going to be a guinea pig for the Vego seed trays! I may try to start a few things in my garage (with grow lights and heat mats) this spring, so this was a timely video for me! I have one of those greenhouse shelf units that kept my coleus all snug and happy on 1, 9 and 15 degree nights. I'm going to try to get some of the cupcake type zinnias going early this year; in previous years, they just have single blooms, which I've read us due to our heat. Have you had success with these, mainly the zinderella type?
+M Kitchens I had success with the Zinderella but I felt like they were too small for my needs. This is my first year growing coleus from seed!
I can identify with only needing a small amount of seedling where you get those small trays.
They are from Amazon and linked in the description of the video.
Great video ! I'm in Amarillo Tx zone 7a so a bit different than you. I've really enjoyed your videos; I've just discovered your channel. I look forward to seeing your garden success.
+Virlene Price not far from me but definitely some different temps! Welcome!
¿ when you cold stratify, I thought the seeds wanted moisture as well, is that not correct?
+Emmy Husfloen you can do wet OR dry stratification! I typically do wet for seeds like bells of Ireland and delphinium … I feel like they are tougher to get to germinate. All of the seeds in this video are already sprouted!
Very satisfying video! Zone 8b here in western Oregon and just now learning about cold stratification. I'm curious, do you find that just throwing the packets in the freezer works just fine? Seems easier and less messy then the cold/wet paper towel refrigerator option I keep seeing suggested.
+Jeanann Powers yes, I forgot no it works plus a lot of full fledged flower farms use the same method … that’s where I learned it!
@@shesamadgardener thank you. Very helpful.
I'm anxious to see how the watering situation goes
+Nikki Holton so far so good but I’ll keep you updated!
Gm where did y purchase y garden supplies? midlothian
+Mattie Thompson the supplies in this video are listed in the video description with their locations!
Great details in this video! I have an even smaller yard and full sun area than you, how many pods do you think I should start?
+Michelle France I would figure out how many of a particular plant you want based on the amount of available space and the amount of room each plant needs … then sow at least one extra so you have a backup.
@@shesamadgardener thank you!!
Does anyone have any tricks on how to get the little seedlings out of those little cell without them falling apart ?
That’s what I was wondering, too. Hope you get a response from ones who have used these or something similar.
+marsha duggan these trays have a large quarter size hole at the bottom to easily push them out.
+Sandra Traugott these trays have a large quarter size hole at the bottom to easily push them out.
Where do you purchase the cells
+Janice they are from Vego Garden!
