Thanks so much Jeff for the awesome tips. I wish more men were like you lol
I really enjoyed this segment. But Rosemary is my problem please help
@@mountaincreekhomestead Thanks, appreciate you appreciating me! 🙂
@@clytieking8883 You are not alone Clytie!! How can I help?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms how can U make rosemary get big? Mine won’t grow as much.
Note to myself: This is it. The ultimate "how to grow herbs inside video". Found it, bookmarked it. Now for applying it.
Ha ha thanks so much thomas, much appreciated! 🙂
The beginner mistake.. “we always feel we need to be doing something for the plants” is bang on brother. I have failed so many times to realise this basic mistake.
Ha ha its a big club we're in sham....:-)
As a novice to home gardening, I keep returning to this vid for every new phase I go through with my herbs. Thanks so much for all your insights and highly digestible vid format
My basil keeps dying, so this video helps me. So many planting techniques: fertiliser, soil, watering weekly instead of daily, don’t use soil from outside, sunlight, nitrogen, draining water, pot size. I’m going to need to take notes to fully absorb this information.
Let us know how it goes Michael!
All my herbs die except my basil. 😢
You get a plant! And YOU get a plant! And YOU get a plant! Giving away most of my plants and built a solar panel lighted oasis for herbs in my living room. I never thought of basil from cuttings! Going outside to get some now before frost comes. Great video thank you.
Herbs are the BEST Larry! 🙂
😂
@@barefootgardens22 are you familiar with the bare foot Dr. Manual I lost mine in a fire
I wanna hear more about this solar panel lighted oasis
@@Bri-vy7zx Yeah, me too...I'm gonna google it and see if there's anything to it.
The effort you put into these videos is outstanding.
Thank you thank you thank you for noticing! This one in particular took a LONG time to make. I started filming some of it before April! :-0
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms You encouraged me to start two more trays of winter herbs... and I may have bought another grow light too.
@@VidaV amazing Vida! Can't wait to hear about the results!

Hi there,
If you are one that grows indoor plants, i would recommend to opt for organic, vegan and peat-free compost, as well as organic liquid feed that does not contain sea weed due to radiation in the seas, i believe. Please have a look at this video that i believe will be of great help ruclips.net/video/Zklb59V5CeM/видео.html
Hydroponic system wise, i would encourage to have a look at this video ruclips.net/video/XroWLMA5Z7E/видео.html
Please Note:
* Food shortage will lead to a civil war in America.
* Climate change will lead to Sun-day laws.
GOD Bless

I watch several gardeners on RUclips (just built our own greenhouse), but I like you the best. You have a way to completely break it down, and realize that we don't all have the same baseline gardening knowledge. That's why I keep coming back.
Hey, thanks for that Allison! Means a lot, I appreciate it!
When I lived in Oregon we had 4 huge rosemary bushes growing in our yard and we could not get rid of them when we tried one time, but then I started using it in a lot of foods we eat. We had plenty of rosemary all the time. We gave it to our neighbors too. I never watered the rosemary or anything except occasionally I would trim it when I worked in the yard. It grew all year round even in the middle of Winter.
It does the exact same here in Victoria, BC too George. Similar climate.....must be just ideal for it.
I had grown green onions outside (bought at grocery store, directly sown root bottoms to soil) and they provided for about 2 years until a windy storm completely destroyed the entire pot.
I'm trying again, indoors and they are growing even faster this time. It's been 3 days and they are going crazy. I already had a grow light for some houseplants so green onions are just chilling in the corner of my dining area that is slowly becoming a tiny jungle in the the desert.
:)
Indoor gardening in very, very rewarding, but word of warning, quarantine new plants before you bring them in with the others. It took me a month to save my plants from fungus gnats. Haha
This video should have 350 million views. The entire nation needs to start growing. It teaches patience and planning.
Here's hoping!!!
This is my first time I'm trying to grow plants indoors. I've watched so many other videos and it seemed overwhelming. Right before I came across yours I was about to give up. You explained everything simply and you showed what the seeds look like. I appreciate the time and efforts you put into this video. Thank you so much you definitely helped me understand. You made me want to try it again:-)
I did the same thing!
Hey Bridget, I do hope you give it a try! Give a few herbs a go at once and get a feel for them. Some are easier for some people than others and you want to find your groove. Seeds are cheap and they don't need much soil or pot size.....you got this!!
@@sunnylink917 Thanks sonia!! Best of luck! Start small, pick the easier ones first like Basil and Chives, and then go from there!
I've had success placing stones and orchid bark at the base for drainage. Works great if you want a more decorative planter indoors. The smell of fresh herbs and lemongrass is unbelievable in a living space
Great idea Justin!
My goodness sir you are a life saver!!!! You have taught me SO much and I cannot thank you ENOUGH. I wrote two pages full of notes throughout this video!! Thank you for the time and effort you put into this video. I recently planted some herbs and realised I've kind of done it all wrong haha, but we all learn from our mistakes, and now I am equipped with better knowledge of growing my own herbs because of you. You are an angel
That's awesome Gracie, happy to help!!
Thank you. My daughter is anew gardener that doesn't like to ask mom 😊. I shared it with her. If she doesn't want one during winter, I'm sure it'll be helpful in the spring. Wisconsin is a very cold state
That's great! Here too....though, some of the herbs I find to be easier to grow indoors year round so I don't even bother with them outside anymore, LOL! Cheers. 🙂
That's funny, my daughter is the same way, she lives in Wisconsin too.
WOW, what a great video! The amount of time and patience to create it, the generosity of sharing your knowledge...just wanted to say thank you. I'm not a novice but was still feeling overwhelmed. This was a relaxing yet inspiring video and I look forward to watching more! Thank you 🌱
Hey thanks Nikki! That means a lot. Appreciate it. Happy growing!
so encouraging. the paper towel idea is brilliant. Tu!
This is one of the best videos that I've ever came across. The detail and instructions you offer are priceless, thank you..
Thank you. Needed a 1-stop-shop to get up and running. You gave all the details I need in a concise format. Much appreciated. Cheers!
There are no words for how inspiring you are. Homeschooling my youngest (add) son, I'm always looking to tier academics with life skills. This video is perfect.
BY FAR, THE BEST HERB VIDEO! EXCELLENT! THANK YOU!!!
I think I may have just found my newest comfort channel. Very warm, encouraging, and informative. Thank you so much!
Never gardened before, but inspired to start! It seems increasingly important to be self sufficient. I appreciate your very well made video & excellent beginners guide! Thank you!
Absolutely love your videos! You are so caring, it's a joy to watch and listen to your instructions. Mahalo Nui Loa from a Canadian expat 🤙🏼
Just started my indoor herb garden kit I received for Christmas! This is the best video hands down!!
Learned alot from this video and already have 4 videos lined up. Thank you.
Great video as usual. The recaps are a great addition. Thank you.
I do the "single file" method with my indoor herbs. For things like dill & cilantro I do succession planting so I've always got a pot or two ready to use.
Basil is a great indoor plant that keeps producing over & over. When the plants get 5-6 sets of leaves I top off the upper 3 sets & put those into a cup of water to sprout. Those become my next crop of basil plants. Lather, rinse, repeat for endless basil...and pesto, which is easy to make & stores in the freezer indefinitely. 😋
So perfect man. Once you get a system, its essentially fresh, free, organic herbs 365 days a year! Well done bro! 🙂
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Right on. One of these days I'd love to come over & meet you in person and see your garden setup. You're near Victoria as I recall. I've got friends over there with direct connections to the Butchart family. I'm not a master gardener by any means, but I know a few things about gardening and I've learned a lot about the history of your area.
Thank you so much. I watched your video for the first time yesterday and started my garden today. I had never planted anything before and decided to start.
This video was so helpful and packed with great information. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I'm starting my first indoor garden this year. Your video is extremely helpful, and you have a new subscriber! I'm starting plants indoors that will ultimately go outside in spring for pollinator forage. I hope to get a jump on things this way. Hyssop, I hope it works! I wish you all the best.
I imagine that is is what a master gardening class is like. Thanks 😊
I'm so glad I found this video! Thanks!!!
Definitely guilty of overwatering. But I'm giving it another go this year. Thanks for a great video!
Thanks for the tips on herbs. Your videos are educational and the best. God bless you 🙏
Superb presentation! Just what a beginner needs from an experienced teacher. Liked & subscribed.
I loved this!!!! Humorous but very informative. I'm growing my herbal tea garden indoors and it's been a fun learning experience, life changing too! 😏👍😌
It's so cold here in France but I will try to grow the ciboulette and basil using the knowledge gathered from your video, wish me luck. Much appreciated!
Ahoy! You read my mind. I am about to repot my Thai basil today. Ciao
Just starting out , You’re videos are fantastic, first time I’ve heard anyone speaking of using indoor soil for growing indoors. Thank u definitely subscribing to ur channel ❤
you remind me of alton brown when he on good eats but for gardening. i love this!
Good point about not using soil from outside. I tried bringing in my hot pepper plants and they quickly became infested with aphids. I tried many things including showering them off but could never save them
This was so helpful. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and encouragement to us new gardeners ☺️
Hey Brittany, glad you liked it, hopefully you'll get some indoor herbs going too! 🙂
Your enthusiasm is so contagious. Appreciate these videos so much.
Thanks! And thank you for watching!
Wonderful video, your kindness always shines. Your videos are very much appreciated.
Thanks so much Kathleen....really nice if you to say! 🙂
Omg thank you. I'm a new gardener. Your explanation is simplified ✨💜🤘🏾💯

Thank you so much for this video! i started growing herbs, and was looking on how & when to repot them! and my peppermint have now sprout yet though..so will see !!
Thanks for a great video. Lots of great information. Have a great weekend Jeff.
Thanks Bev, you too! 🙂
This summer I discovered the joys of fresh Basil that I planted in my garden. Now I can't live without it. Since we have 6 months of winter I am looking to try growing indoors. My luck growing anything indoors has been dismal, hopefully this will change that.
I started a potted garden for my wife and mother-in-law earlier this summer. It includes basil, purple, basil, spearmint, lemon balm and thyme.
I have them in terra-cotta clay pots to have the same style of aesthetic.
I’m currently looking for a shelf to put them on inside my kitchen window.
My wife was wondering when the jungle’s gonna come in and it’s dropping here in Chicago so I told her soon
Awesome video.
Really loved the recap at the end of the video.
Thanks for the great production and effort!
Hey thanks Sydney, and thanks got watching!
I live in Northern France and struggle to grow herbs so I will try the indoor growing, thank you
Great video Jeff (especially for beginners) packed with good info. Well done mate. Cheers
Thanks Keith, appreciate it! 🙂
another great video Jeff!
14:06 I have put moss over mine. I always use it and it keeps everything as natural as possible technically:)
This is probably the BEST video of it’s kind. Comprehensive, easy to follow, and relevant info. Thank you 👏🏼
Thanks so much Christine...! Too kind! :-)
Awesome video! Thanks for all the encouragement!
Cheers Charmaine, thanks so much for watching! :-)
I’m in! Not much of a cook, but love growing. I’ll grow vegetables just give it away! 😊
This is so helpful, the other videos I’ve watched were no where near as informative. Thank you!
Hey thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I got 3 more herb videos coming out this weekend so there should be a smorgousboard of herb info, ha ha!
Love the way you teach!
Great video! Thank you very much for all the info. 😁
Wonderful information! Thank you so much!
Wow this was really helpful. I'm changing my eating habits and I wanted to grow Cilantro, Oregano, Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, and Thyme. Maybe I'll add basil to the list lol
Dude! I subbed just because of this video. Thank you so much for how detailed you were and for sharing what you’ve learned. Now I can feel more confident in growing my herbs indoors 👏🏽
Hey, thanks for the support David! With winter just hitting me now, I've been really thinking back to this video a lot the last couple of days!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms same here man. That’s how I found this video lol
I've been growing outside herbs for about 7 years now, and I'm finally convinced that I will never put either basil or flat leafed parsley in a group planter ever again! I consider both herbs the "bully" plants - they completely dominate and overtake everything else! My go-to herbs are Flat leaf parsley, sweet basil, thyme, dill, chives and rosemary. This winter I will attempt my first indoor herb garden. Thanks for the suggestions!
Thanks Jeff for all your help this year.I had great ginger and turmeric and sweet potatoes harvest, all fresh your instructions.
Right on Mabel, happy to hear! 🙂
I've been trying to grow exactly those you mentioned in soil but they only thrive for a very short time. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you very much for this beautiful video! 🌿💚
doing a talk on herbs in a couple of weeks and this was so useful and informative. Thank you!
Hey very cool Kim! Are you recording it?
This is the first time I've seen your videos but i have to say, you have an excellent delivery and I appreciate the information!
Hey thanks Linda, appreciate that. Cheers!
Much better than most gardening videos I see. Well done!
Thanks, appreciate it!
This was a fantastic watch and very educational. Thank you
Hey, thanks for checking it out...appreciated! :-)
This guy must be the' Chef John' of Herbs. Great video!
I love the paper towel trick👍🙏
Herbs have quickly became my favorite kind of plants.
I'm with you there buddy....the flavor...its what gets me. Just packed with it!
This was very helpful, I learned a lot about starting a herb garden indoors which is a goal of mine. Thank you!
Right on Steve! Give it a try....do the easy ones first and just keep leveling up man. You got this!
This very helpful I'm trying to learn more skills this year more so in plants.Thank you 🙏
I have a rosemary plant and just grew mint from the store bought one, in my own compost. It is growing well, but a lot of papaya plants have also started together. Grew green onions from store bought ones. Will try dill the same way
Right on! You got a lot growin'!
Lol the overwatering montage had me rolling. That was definitely me 😆
😀 Thank you, Jeff! Hope I can make it! 🙏💓
I appreciate the effort nonetheless!
I'm new to your channel, l found you on Google while I was researching how to grow cilantro indoors. I like your videos, they are very helpful!! I'm thinking of growing my own herbs, so I'll definitely be saving this video for reference, thank you for making the content you do!!!
Right on Alaina, thanks for checking out the video. Hope it helps, best of luck with your herbs this season! 🙂
Thank you; very informative & achievable. 💕💕
LOVE THIS!!! I'm a huge fan of Arugula and had no idea I could grow it that easily. I'm a fan of every herb you mentioned and just yesterday (7/27/22) I repotted my Sweet Basil, Rosemary, and Sage in a pot together. 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ Thanks for the many lessons learned. Time to harvest some of my Basil now. 🤣

Awesome video Jeff!!! We need to teach the younger generations how to start doing this so they can be more self sufficient. We never know what will happen from one day to the next. Sorry was late busy weekend.🙂
🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
Totally agree Brandy! And its the easy, quick crops like herbs, and spinach that'll be the best gateway!
I agree! I am gonna teach my children.
Great video! I grow herbs and microgreens indoors and it's the best remedy agsinst winter blues, especially in Quebec, plus it's healthy! I bring marjoram and sage indoors for winter and they both do very well. Go Roughriders! My partner is from SK.
Thanks for this. I’ve been struggling
your forward talking about these herbs helped me to grow my herb garden indoors now they are thriving now!! thanks!!
Right on Lymsee, what plants did you end up growing??! 🙂
Thanks for all the information, im new in herbs so thanks for the video

Thanks Jeff, this is just what was needed. Peppers just sprouted too!! 100% germ on Arapaho peppers thanks to your tips from previous videos.
Right on!! So glad to hear! 🙂
Thank you for giving me the confidence and knowledge to start my first herbs.
To stop me from getting overwhelmed I'll focus on a basil plant. Sounds like a good starter plant and pesto is delicious!
Right on Dale! Start single plants at first, no question. Basil is the best....no one ever refused fresh pesto....no sane person that is! :-)
Great tips and info. Love this video so much that I subscribed, thumbed up, commented and shared. Great job!!
