Luke is the reason I started gardening. Very thankful for the tips

Received the “last” of my seeds yesterday. Every time I think I’m done ordering I think of more things I want to grow! A bigger outside garden is coming soon once all this snow melts in North Idaho.

For older seeds I'll soak them in a 1% H2O2 solution (2 parts water : 1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide from the pharmacy). Super fast sprouts.

I love the addition of the graphics echoing what you're saying, really helps my brain remember!

Appreciate the cardboard/bubble wrap idea on heat mats as I have noticed on some seed trays that areas of soil dry out faster from obvious hot spots❣️

[TinyToesBabySensory]

Thanks! I just ran to turn of my heat mat! 💃🏽💚

I like you enthusiasm. Great video man

Additional tip for squash seeds, especially Asian squash seeds like luffa and bitter gourd that have hard shells. If you carefully cut the very edge of the shells to allow water inside, the seeds will germinate in a matter of days rather than weeks.

The seeds you sell are amazing. I’ve had excellent germination. The funny thing is I started my pepper and tomato seedlings in my sewing room. I didn’t even need a grow light. The light from my window was enough for them to germinate. Now they are in my greenhouse waiting to be planted. My carrots, lettuce and spinach are so prolific I can’t eat it fast enough. So I share them with others. Thanks again.

Always learn something new every time! Thank you for all you do.

Thanks for the new information! I didn’t know that bread doubled in size. All I knew is that when I eat bread, I double in size.

I have been watching your videos for several years, Luke, and always learn something new. I find that with using a heat mat with some water in the drain tray provides fairly even heat to the seed starting tray and provides ample humidity in the dome. I also remove the dome once or twice a day for good ventilation.

Thanks for all these recent vids Luke! This is the first year I'm starting from seed in any serious manner, so these vids have been timely and very helpful.

Waiting for my MIGARDENER seed shipment is like Christmas to me! Lol
And it's so exciting to watch Luke's videos, SAVE them, get your seeds or garden started & then (watch saved videos again), implement his techniques, advice or experience to see what i can do!!
Yes! EVERYONE should be growing something edible!

These are great tips especially for us folks in Northern Michigan who have a short growing season. Thanks Luke.👍

[dorindafulton]

Great video as always 😊 Thank you for sharing this info 😊 have a great day and happy gardening 🌿🌱😊🤗

[yvonneyeager]

Thank you- LOVE THIS VIDEO. Did you know that you can put 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide 3 % into 1 cup of water or 3 parts water & 1 part H202 & add that to your seeds when soaking prior to planting. Put it in the area you are soaking your seeds the last hour or so - it gives your seeds a boost of oxygen prior to planting & helps boost then 3x faster. 😊

[rebeccagammel]

Always learn by watching you. Great tips for all. I am looking forward to getting in the garden and all the bounty. Hope is eternal if you are a gardener.

Can you please do close captions for the deaf thank you

Good tips! I can see where I've gone wrong now. I will follow these tips this year.
