The most awesome thing about growing our own tomatoes is that we can grow tomatoes that we will never find in a grocery store.

Having grown Tomatoes for over 50 years. I find your video very clear informative and interesting. A must watch for new gardener's and old hands. Thanks Mick.

Its an awesome and very informative video! I just planted 6 seeds (can't really do more because i only have a balcony to work with), and many other seeds...Im so excited to grow my own plants! Keep up the good work man! 👍❤

[oceansoul]

Thank you so much for this video..I always love the Spring starting and planting tips...still snowing here but my greenhouse is full of seedlings. Have a wonderful growing season!

I rarely buy seedlings. I go to the Amish market and get their seedlings for odd things I have not learned to grow yet. Mostly, I only grow my own. The racks are filling up right now in my livingroom. Jeff, I grew peanuts last year, and this year I sprouted my first seedling from one of my own cured peanuts! So exciting! I am so greedy with tomatoes I have five varieties this year. I also harvest seeds fromt them for the following year! I love how you demonstrate the soil. Great info! Happy Growing!

Another great video thank you Jeff, just had a light blanket of snow last night in Western New York, getting that itch to start them seeds maybe in a couple of weeks.

it's been a weird winter here (very mild!) so I might start seeds a bit early this year! Excited to really get going

[tarawilliams]

Love the videos. Look forward to each one. But I think I like the recap to be narrated instead of text format. Keep the awesome work coming

Started my peppers a month ago, have some flowers germinating and will start my tomatoes this week. Great feeling to see those little green sprouts pop up!

[willsolarski]

I'm actually starting my tomato seeds today here in the PNW! I'll keep them in the garage for about 4-6 weeks😃🌱🍅🍅🍅

Thank you Jeff, its always a good visit and keeps me motivated. Your plants looks fantastic

[iwuvmybigfamily]

Thanks Jeff. Im saving this knowledgeable video!

Good point about planting excess seeds so you can pick the best transplants. It's really amazing, how 1 seed packet will give you some amazing plants, but others will just be dogs.

[BalmBeach]

Amazing video! Love the music too. This is really helpful info! Thank you

[melindaroth]

Jeff, we have got to stop getting so excited about starting bc beautiful warm temps. All our plants looked so beautiful so he transplanted them outside. 😮then got hit with 40 degree temp last night and tonight 😢😢😢❤
