The Ultimate Guide To Sowing Seeds: My Seed Starting Setup // Grow Your Own Vegetables #garden

This is my full seed sowing guide, where I discuss each component required for successfully sowing seeds at home. As a professional heirloom seed grower and plant nursery, I share my method to starting seeds, getting good germination, and growing healthy transplants. I discuss when to start seeds, grow lights, how to fertilize seedlings, direct sowing versus starting in containers, and how to choose the correct pot size to avoid "potting up". Save a lot of money by cultivating your seed sowing skills and saving your own heirloom seeds.

[MasterOneness]

Growing your own food is super sustainable. Thank you Jerra! 🤗

[growinginportland]

Jerra is smart. Many tips I have learned. Have now realized why so many of my seeds did not germinate last year. Appreciate Jerra I do.

9b in central FL. This heat got me down lol. 😅 Thank you fpr helping us newbies!

[alinalorenzo]

Jerra thank you for the huge information you give to us . Where are you located

[CristalMermaid]

Great video, I wish I knew about you and other Florida YouTubers when I first moved to Florida.

You asked what you could do with eggplants. Cut into 1 to 1 1/4 inch chunks. Add 3 tablespoons of buttermilk and stir. Add 1/2 cup of cornmeal and 2 tablespoons self-raising flour. Stir. Breading should be dry on eggplant chunks. Deep fry and enjoy. Love your videos.

Thank you Jerra! Love your channel! Fellow 9b gardener (beginner lol)

You should try out "official" grow lights on a couple of your shelves because it can potentially be a game changer that can take you to the next level! And also (2) you can document findings via content (3) share knowledge yo other gardeners and (4) its tax deductible 😊!

[Liveforhim]

This is great! Looking forward to your next video!

[dunaj]

Thanks for this video Jerra! Full of so much great information for us newbies!

[danabella]

I use vermiculite and coco coir and seeds germinate. Our shop compost as well here in UK is like yours it has some molds.

Hi Jerra! You didn't mention anything about hardening off seedlings. Do you have any recommendations for that??

[puretranscending]

Love your video, Thanks so much useful info. I'm also in SWFL zone 10a, I think I saw you were in that zone in one of your videos. I have two questions. I have a covered screened-in deck but even in the shade, the temp has already reached 100 degrees this year. So I'm guessing that it would still be too hot to start seeds? Also, I have house plants and terrariums and have had issues with fungal gnats so would my best bet be to just water with mosquito bit regularly to prevent them?

Hello Jerra! I am living the same zone as you. I planted my ground cherry on April 20 and they are not growing, and the white flys are eating them too. Is this plant supposed to be a winter crop? When is the best time to sow the seeds? When you have a chance, please let me know. Thank you so much!

I feel my seeds grow a healthier plant

[raymondjones]

I planted a couple of Seminole pumpkin seeds last year and now my back yard is full of those vines. I'm not complaining about the vines but so many of the pumpkins fall off the vines before they can get a chance to grow. If they make it past a certain size, bigger than a baseball then they will stay on, but most of them fall off while they are very small. The vines are super healthy though. I don't understand what the problem is.

[SP-czmw]

How often do you recommend fertilizing new seedlings?

[Chocamatoes]

When you talk about fall crop starting like broccoli, and you say you grow them inside. Do you mean inside your house or in your screened porch? I have mine in my screened porch too but want to try growing fall crops from seeds this year.

[NONIROSE]

Jerra, what are your thoughts on thiram coated seeds? I was surprised to open my packet of korean radish seeds yesterday and they were coated in this shiny bright blue substance? I read that it is for pest and disease control but the warning label was scary in terms of washing hands right after handling, toxic to consume. I don’t feel comfortable planting these seeds. Thoughts?
