I’m not a expert gardener, but I’m getting started. I’ve watched a lot of utube videos about starting with seeds. Several experienced gardeners have also started putting a small fan near the seedlings mimics the wind and helps the plants be stronger. Food for thought.

Yes, this makes sense! Thank you for sharing. I love seeing how everyone starts seeds and I'm in the process of learning the best way for me. I can't wait to see you starts going into the gorgeous garden of yours!

Hey Rich & Holly
I'm a first time gardener and hoping for a good harvest. Thanks for the great tips and support.

I like the idea of bigger pots with the exception being tomatoes. I find up-potting and burying the stems is great for kickstarting growth as their stems shoot out new roots when buried.

That lighting system setup is perfect 👌 I keep my lights 30 inches away from my seedlings and never had an issue.

This was extremely helpful for me, a very beginner seed starter indoors! Thank you!

Holly and my wife Brittney both deal with the same problem. Doing our planting in the kitchen. 😂 Some channels you can just tell you will enjoy listening to whatever they have to share. This is one of those. New subscriber and glad to find y'all (we're in TN and y'all is in our dictionary.)

Great Stuff! Can't wait to see those little sprouts popping up. Good luck!

Lots of great sowing tips Rich and Holly! Keep us posted on how things grow!

We started seeds too. I’m experimenting with the dwarf tomato project seeds. Wow, those little buggers are gems, the stalks are as thick as my thumb. I’ll try and send you a pic. We plant in the kitchen too and use a chopstick, it’s okay Holly 😊
Thanks for the video, I so enjoy them!

G'day Rich and Holly.
I love making that muddy mess. 😁 I'm also shocked that you do not start individual carrots in individual pots inside! 😲 Kidding! That was really good guys. it's going to help people for sure.
Nice one with the info on the lighting too by the way.

All the best.
Daz.

I don’t like to up pot either. You gave some great tips. Your butternut and spaghetti squash still look good. Thanks for sharing how you start your seeds. I think we all need to grow something this year.

I’m a beginner. I have a small space (balcony) so I’m very nervous but excited. This was super helpful!

Like you I now use bigger pots for most things. I use 3 1/2 inch round pots, an under bead storage box as a tray. I leave one pot in the corner empty, this allows for easy watering of the tray. Just poor water into the empty pot.

Congratulations! You have a huge start! I hope your vegetable garden will be wonderful!

Seed starting is one of the best things about spring! This is a great how-to guide! I did get a heat mat for my peppers and sweet potatoes this year and I do think it helped…the one that I have has a temperature adjuster though to keep it from getting too hot, plus I have my pots in a self-watering tray so they aren’t touching the heat mat directly. Baking the soil while they try to germinate would definitely not be helpful!

[jase_drifter]

Great video Rich, so much good information.

[BroqueCowgirlHomestead]

Lol a SAFEHOUSE for plants!!! Or it could be the HALFWAY HOUSE too. Hehe
I have basically the same lighting and shelving set up. But I do use heat mats and absolutely love them because tomatoes and peppers germinate in 3 or 4 days vs weeks. I have my lights on them as soon as they are planted. Not necessarily because they need it, but because that bright light reminds me to tend to them. When they germinate, the heat mat gets turned off.
I've found a wonderful seed starting medium that has worm castings and bat guano in it. I don't like using seed starting mix because it has no nutrients in it. Seedlings tend to die off quickly if you just use seed starting mix.
I dislike up potting stuff too. I will do it tho for some things.
Happy Growing!!!
