If you delay, you may have smaller harvests, more weed problems, more pest problems and less healthy plants! I share 5 essential garden tasks to start now, even if it's still cold out!

    I just harvested my first winter broccoli that I grew over the winter! So exciting! Also carrots!
    The bad news is I can’t plant anything right now because we are moving and I can’t put anything into the ground here. The good news is we are moving somewhere that has more land for a garden and animals, so in a month or two, I will have space to do whatever I want! Can’t wait!

    • @TheMillennialGardener
      @TheMillennialGardener  4 месяца назад +3

      Congrats on the veggies and the move! That’s too bad about not being able to plant. Hopefully your move goes quickly and you can at least buy some transplants somewhere.

    • @Happy2Run4Me

      You might still be able to seed start and keep them in trays (if you have the room, I know I didn’t because I moved halfway across the country and we gave away and got rid of so much stuff we’d accumulated over nearly 20 years😮). Congratulations on having more land! Thats what we did too, went from .28 of an acre to over 8! It’s been wonderful to expand my garden this year. So much to look forward to for you I bet! 👍🏻

    Spot on😊 in the south, Feb may still be cold, but a great time for clean up, and preparation for spring and beyond. Read over last year's notes, make plans to rotate beds/pots, etc. If you didn't do in Jan like I didn't. BTW, seed potatoes are in all box stores now. However, at the bigger ones they had 4 small "plants" as labeled for $5. I got 4 lb bags for $7 at my local tractor supply. Happy gardening everyone

    Careful though about starting tomatoes and peppers too early. No harm is getting them out a little later. They love blazing heat and if you’re area isn’t hot enough for transplant in April or may you’re wasting your time and seeds

  • @jaytoney3007
    @jaytoney3007 4 месяца назад +9

    I just planted five fruit trees, and have seed starts growing for tomatoes, peppers, bunching onion, and bulbing onions. Some pepper varieties are either not germinating, or are slow to germinate. I've reseeded once, and am considering planting more bell peppers to make up for the seeds that didn't germinate. The starting trays are on a heat mat with temperature controlled by a thermostat. I have turnips ripening, so no need to plant more, but in a couple weeks I'll be sowing seeds for carrots, Swiss Chard, lettuce, mustard, tatsoi, golden beetroot, radishes, chives, and parsley. February is a busy month for me. My raised beds are covered with leaves. I'll be mixing them into the soil, and topping off with compost, or raised bed mix. I expect to start bringing in harvests long before most people in my area are getting started. The big push this year is getting ready for a spring plant sale, so I am planting hundreds more plants than I normally would. If it goes well, I'll repeat next year. If not, my losses will be minimal.

    • @TheMillennialGardener
      @TheMillennialGardener  4 месяца назад +2

      You’re ahead of me! Some peppers won’t germinate unless the soil is 85-90°F. Maybe they need more warmth, or maybe the seeds are old. I’ve had similar problems with onions this year. Subpar germination, unfortunately.

    • @eddiemcdonald4720
      @eddiemcdonald4720 4 месяца назад

      For the pepper seeds I would wait and not risk starting them too early.

    • @renel7303
      @renel7303 4 месяца назад +1

      Peppers are finicky. Most want warm soil and the air needs to be warm too. Is their air warm enough? At least 60-70 at night, up to 80 daytime will assist germination. I'm in Central California, 9B, where peppers thrive and I won't start them for a couple of weeks yet even inside, 68F, with a heat mat & grow lights.

    • @jaytoney3007
      @jaytoney3007 4 месяца назад

      I reseeded with different seed stock, hoping it was bad seeds, but the same results. Most of my pepper varieties germinated quickly, and my onion germination was good too. The problem with seeds not germinating is I am reducing my pepper varieties from fifteen to ten, but still growing 60 plants. Seeds not germinating is an instant scratch off the growing list. Normally most pepper varieties do well for me.

    We live south of Monkey Junction in an HOA regulated neighborhood. My husband is one of your loyal followers. As a literal square foot gardener, he’s created a “farm” in our fenced back yard. We thought that you might want to see it. We have spent years composting and keeping seeds where their ancestors roamed.
    Recently, I was cutting up a tomato that was sitting on the counter for some time. When I cut it, I thought that the tomato had worms. Further inspection showed that the white “worms” were actually sprouted seeds. I scooped them out of the tomato, and James planted the sprouts. They are doing well under our garage grow light.
    We would like to invite you over to see our square foot base.
    How can we make this happen?

    Great video! I watched your video on pruning and you said things like orange trees to prune after harvest. I am in zone 9a and my oranges looked ready for a while before I cut them all off in Jan(all 8 on a big tree). Do you think I should prune as soon as the first turns orange? They were probably orange for a month before I cut them before a cold snap. Again, thank you sooooo much!!!! New to this and couldn't do it without you 😊

      I don’t think I have the climate for giant pumpkins. The borers here are just terrible. I think you’d need to grow it indoors in a greenhouse or hoop house. I couldn’t imagine putting in all that effort just to have it killed. I would need to use so much pesticide.

    Hi! Thanks so much for the video! I have a pear tree that has never been pruned that’s about 5 years old. It’s pretty tall but I could reach the top standing in the back of my pickup truck. My question is, how much of the top can you cut off since it’s already this old?

    • @TheMillennialGardener
      @TheMillennialGardener  4 месяца назад +2

      The earlier you shape a tree, the better. Waiting this long means you’ll likely have to give it a heavy pruning, which could set it back. But better to do now than continue to wait. It is always better to do annual modest prunings than irregular, heavy pruning. Be sure to do it ASAP before it buds out.
