Recently I've been watching your 'older' videos. Lots of good information in all of them. Sowing small seeds is something I'm learning to do. I'm calling them my spill and hope plantings. I did find it easier to do when my fingernails were shorter than I usually keep them in the winter months.
Having fun its not easy when you expect things to go perfect ......I always want thing to go good but watching your videos over and over Im trying to follow your words ......Not everything in the garden is perfect ...! Thank's a lot Scott
Labeling is so important, so many times I think I’m going to remember and don’t. 🤣 I think I’ll do this between my cabbages I have a 18in x10ft space. ❤️❤️
After more than 30 years gardening, I still make mistakes and face periodic failures. It’s just part of gardening, I feel. I love experimenting, and this year I’ve decided to play with cover crops in some of my largest containers. (2’ X 4’ stock tanks) I’ve found some dwarf peas that sound like fun. I enjoy watching your videos.
We were blessed again with this storm! I’m in Pensacola so it pretty much went right between us! Praying for a speedy recovery for all those affected!!! Be blessed 😁
Great video! I use a little sand for small seeds to broadcast in my garden. That way you can see where you were. I also use bubble wrap placed over the seed area. It's great for seeds that are hard to start like parsnips, keeps seeds moist, and keeps the birds and other critters from eating the seeds. 👍 Hope you and your family are safe from Delta. Looking forward to next video. 😀
I planted several varieties of greens in my raised beds using the broadcast method and so far so good. May need a little thinning soon . Thanks for the video
Rain you are lucky no rain here in Katy for almost 2 weeks . What is your pick for leaf lettuces for our area ? Going to try planting some for the first time . Keep up the videos love them.
Your videos are always informative and to the point. Thank you! I've only used rye cover crops in my beds for three years in my no till garden. I have found it, after cutting it down, difficult to plant in. It's as if I am planting my grocery crop directly into a lawn. Am I broadcasting the seed too close together? Now I broadcast the seed by hand because I'm thinking I only want cover crops in my 3' wide beds. Am I going wrong in my thinking here? Should I broadcast seed in my whole garden including the walks?
Amazon. Its the cheapest felt fedora they have. I wanted to take a gamble and see if it was any good, since I like hats, and its OK. It won't last long, and in-hand is in fact cheap. But I have some others that are very good quality such as Dorfman Pacific brand crushable felt, it seems like it will last forever.
I do. 1. Just do it. Don’t worry everything isn’t right. Post videos, share them. You can delete the cringe-worthy videos later. 2. Just use your iPhone and free editing software, but learn their limitations. 3. Learn to edit. Don’t waste people’s time. Get to the point fast, cut dead time, cut cut cut! I use 5-10% of what I record. I learned on actual video sets and in professional studios, and editing professionally, that that ratio is a good target. Also, simple transitions between scenes is best, a hard cut or simple blur. Swirls and cheesy transitions scream out “novice.” 4. Watch other RUclipsrs and find channels that appeal to you. Copy their style and method. 5. Do a video regularly, keep the posting rate predictable so your audience will see you are active and the algorithm will be more kind to you. 6. Expect a year or two to get noticed and monetized, maybe more. You have to ‘do the time to make a dime.’ 1000 subscribers is the threshold to become monetized. It is really hard to get there without becoming discouraged. I heard if you make 1000 subs and get monetized, you are among the 5% who try and succeed. The key is not giving up. 7. Make great content you love. Be genuine. 8. Keep your topic narrow, don’t mix topics. 9. Go look up Brian G. Johnson and watch all his stuff, you won’t understand some of it, and you don’t have to worry about much of it, but you can glean solid gold advice from him. 10. Think about your channel name before you start, it is good to show up higher in the list of subscriptions on all your subscribers channels. Begin you channel with an A,B,C or maybe through to G if you can. Its not good to change mid-stream. 11. Learn about writing a good title and a good description. Learn how to make a good but not click-bait-y thumbnail for your video. All of these are really key to getting your videos pushed by the algorithm. One video getting picked up and promoted is all you need. 12. Thumbnails are like book covers, they are REALLY important. If it has a face in it, statistics show people respond much more positively. Learn to make good, simple thumbnails with large, block type that can be seen on small phone screen. This is your lure. Bad or no thumbnails will ruin your channel. 13. Intro - keep it really short and get to the point. No one likes to sit through a 10 second or 20 second channel intro. One informal survey said a majority of viewers tap forward to get past your long intro, but even more dangerous is that long intros make people move on. 14. Avoid cheesy graphics, swirly and peels in transition, work on sound volume to get it right, don’t beg for likes and shares, just mention it. 15. Once up ad running, don’t beg for “sub for sub” or “like for like.” It is distasteful and does not build the kind of audience that comes to your channel for what you offer. 16. Make excellent content. That’s the key.
One more thing. Expensive cameras are nice, but totally not necessary. I still shoot everything on my iPhone, with a cheap tripod, and don't use a mic system. That might change in the future, but I'm not eager to mess up my workflow with new equipment.
And one more... lol. Work toward a consistent channel "culture," a sense of feel and a sense of look that people can expect. My chanel culture is intentionally simple, relaxed, soothing, casual, not loud, and 'fatherly.' I embrace who I am and just share it honestly. Some channels are more geared to be methodical, teach-y, loud, energetic, colorful, electric, fast, humorous, etc. Whatever yours will be, just stick to it.

Thank you for sharing
Nice time to review planting turnip and other tiny, tiny seeds- 😊
Thank you sir. Good stuff to know.👍

I enjoy binging these episodes! So much to learn🥬🌱
I started a vegetable garden this year, first time in many many years. I had forgotten how relaxing it is, with a good work out of and on😂
We were blessed again with this storm! I’m in Pensacola so it pretty much went right between us! Praying for a speedy recovery for all those affected!!! Be blessed 😁
Agree I think gardening should be fun try different things win some lose some learn some! All the best from NY!
Scott your a lucky man that you can garden year round! Those radishes are quick to start. Best of luck with all that you're planting.
Great video! I use a little sand for small seeds to broadcast in my garden. That way you can see where you were.

Holey Molies, Scott!! You have 135 likes & shhhhhh.....No thumbs down 👎🏻!!! Way to go!!
Good to see you back sowing seeds Scott,I have a few pot empty so I will toss seeds into them and see how it goes. Thanks
I will try again . My beets haven’t come up the last two planting cycles . So I will follow suit and hopefully they will 🌱🌱🌱🌱
Saludos desde La Paz BCS. 🌸👍
I planted several varieties of greens in my raised beds using the broadcast method and so far so good. May need a little thinning soon . Thanks for the video
Does anyone know a beans-lover youtuber? I want to learn more about these magnificent yummy plants
i sprinkled some seeds like you did and I had good results
Well there's a time saver I'll give that a try. Hope the trees didn't come down and everyone is al right.
Do you ever use burlap or any other covering to help germinate seeds? I like broadcast sowing carrots and lettuce seeds.
No, don't do that, though I sometimes sprinkle a fairly even layer of fine potting soil or compost over the seeds.
Rain you are lucky no rain here in Katy for almost 2 weeks . What is your pick for leaf lettuces for our area ? Going to try planting some for the first time . Keep up the videos love them.
I don’t yet have a favorite lettuce but I have six varieties sprouting so I’ll let you know. Butter crunch did well for me last winter.

Hi Scott, I've been looking for a felt hat, please tell me where you found your hat in this video. Thank you Sir.
Amazon. Its the cheapest felt fedora they have. I wanted to take a gamble and see if it was any good, since I like hats, and its OK. It won't last long, and in-hand is in fact cheap. But I
have some others that are very good quality such as Dorfman Pacific brand crushable felt, it seems like it will last forever.
I always enjoy your videos. Do you have any advice for someone considering starting a RUclips channel? May or may not be gardening related.

@@ScottHead wow, that's great advice. Thank you for your insight.
Hey Scott, got a question. I need to dig up my peppers and pot them. When is the best time to do this? I'm in zone 9. Thanks for any help:-)
Now would be OK since we have a few weeks of warm weather to help them settle in.
@@ScottHead Thanks so much!
