This Is The MOST IMPORTANT Tip For Success Starting Seeds

On today's 2 minute garden tip, I share a critical seed starting tip that will maximize your success growing plants from seed. Seeds do not have 100% germination rates, so to ensure enough plants for each planting location, you must implement a process called overseeding. This is the most important tip for success starting seeds!

When overseeding vegetable garden beds or seed starting trays, you will have too much germination in some locations. You must then implement a process called thinning seedlings. This video will teach you why overseeding crops is so important and how to thin crops when too many germinate in a single location.

The following products* will help you grow vegetables in your garden:

Remember that some starts can be eaten as micro or baby greens, including that cabbage. Yum!

The cabbage leaves of the extra plant are edible and delicious!

I overseeded tomatoes last season in 10 cups. I wound up planting 40 plants. I put the trimmed plants in soil and they rooted nicely.

Temperature? I agree, mass planting is a good habit for space-saving and starting most plants, then pluck and put into individual cells. One can also pluck those extra plants instead of cutting/killing....if desired.

Thanks for reminding me ! I have to start my onion seedlings!!

[melanieallen]

I feed the excess plants to my chickens, guinea pigs & turkeys

[rawhoney]

Oh no I put several seeds in multiple cups and they've all sprouted well. I will thin them out carefully. Mainly lettuce and mustard greens

[sueguidry]

What is a good temp to set heat pad on??

[CartersGardens]

Do you have issues with those pellet pod netting not degrading or letting the roots out?

[lazygardens]

This where soil blocks excel - you have very little invested in any one block.

Every time I thin a plant, I say, "Sorry little guy!" 😢
