Starting now! Sowing my bell peppers, broad beans and more

I've sown my bell pepper seeds and broad beans, lettuce and even basil. So let me take you through why I choose the equipment I use and give you my tips about how to sow these seeds as well as I tell about the mistakes I've made and how I learned from them.

Given up on seed trays after 70 years. I use Root Trainers. They are great and last for years if you are careful in their treatment. I have used them for twenty years. Looked them up and they have been redesigned and the inserts are more robust.

My son is building me a lean to greenhouse next weekend for my birthday/Christmas present. I’m so excited! I’ve been binging your greenhouse videos. So much information! We’ve moved to a new climate, from desert to rainy/temperate. Everything is new here. I do appreciate all the information you share! Thank you!

I'm waiting until later before putting seeds in this year. I found last year it didn't get warm soon enough in the greenhouse to plant out. My indoor cucumbers failed when planted out, and the tomato's took forever to get going . Never had an issue in 20 years using the same methods. 2024 was a bad year.
Happy new year and all the best for 2025.

I have my king of the north seeds thanks to you. Excited to see how they do in my northern climate this year. Last year was my very first try growing peppers. It was touch and go, but the I took notes last year! So hoping for better results. I stunted them putting them out too early.

Hi Eli and Kate. After watching your latest video where you talked about the King of the North pepper, I was so inspired that I ordered seeds for this one too. I live in Sweden so it will be exciting to see how it goes. I have to add that I love your tea mug.

I had a bit of a disaster this year. My compost was left out in the rain, got soaked, didn't sterilize it and got awful damping off problems. Hard lesson learned!

TWO videos in one week?! You're spoiling us! Keep it up ;) lol

Craziness. I'm still weeks away from this and am a bit jealous. Great video nonetheless. 🙂

vermiculite is great for covering lettuce and it still allows the light through. Great video again Eli

Put two sweet potato tubers into a flat tray yesterday. That was me starting of the season.
Going to do my Sutton Dwarf man toilet roll tubes I think ( saved up loads of them last year).
Basil I don't particularly like on its own, or pesto either, but for some reason I got few packets of Sweet Genovese ( oldest one sow by 2011, so that's going to be the guinea pig). Got one of those seed sowing gizmos as well. Only used it a couple of times last year and still find it a bit fiddly trying to shake the seeds out.
Also have the husband the whole seed collection yesterday to have a look through because he complained that I don't let him get a look in. I don't think he did have a look, at least he didn't say anything about it in the evening. We'll see in the morning.

I missed much of last year due to hip replacement surgery and I've fell into a funk I can't for the life of me remember when to start my pepper seeds
