I am so happy to find this channel... finally someone who is in the same zone as me... all the other channels seem to be in zones 7 and above which doesn't do me much good here in 5b.... thank you for presenting the information in a pleasant and easy way..

I'm happy to know that about zucchini...I had no idea it preferred direct sow. Yay!

5:20 I don’t even try to grow dill, it just comes ❤️😳

I direct sowed cilantro on April 14 and they're doing pretty well now, should be good to start picking soon. They took about 3 weeks to germinate but I didn't know you were supposed to scarify them at the time.

The thing about USDA plant hardiness zones is that it doesn't mention summer temperatures. Fruiting is dependent on summer maximum temperature, not on winter minimum. I am trying going to plant melons along a south facing concrete wall this year, but in the open garden, the heat is not enough for watermelon and muskmelon to set fruit.

doest it depends on what state to plant in Michigan, I live up north and if I plant in June, it be cold by harvest season!

Can the honeynut and gouda squash be grown in container?

I have to say I'm a bit skeptical about transplanting not working for zucchini... This year I started my zucchinis in late April, transplanted them on May 17 when they had their first two true leaves, and now they're 3 ft across and I just got my first female flower. I'm in Zone 6 (suburban Toronto). But most of the zucchinis were started in deep 24 oz plastic containers (ex yogurt pots with holes poked in bottom) so they didn't get too root bound.

I did the same with my cucumbers, watermelon and cantaloupe. For the cucumbers we can do the experiment of transplanting vs direct sowing, I planted some on May 18 and others on May 23, and after they suffered some freak late spring cold damage on May 28 I direct sowed 9 more seeds (all of which sprouted) on May 31. The cold damaged cucumbers did survive though and are growing reasonably well now.

Also apparently cucumber beetles can be an issue with direct sowing and less so with transplants? Although for me... I'm getting a fair bit on my transplants too.

I have a lot of squirrels and chipmunks but they don't seem to be doing much damage to the sunflowers I direct sowed in the past few weeks. Not sure what the exact varieties are since it's a mix (Colour Fashion Mixed by OSC).

And yeah i alredy posted one comment.. but. I seemed to have absolutely no issues transplanting my watermelon? i put 3 seeds (if you have excelent germination rate 2 will do) in each pot and leave the strongest plant - thats how i make it be one plant per pot, i cut the excess plant with scissors, dont pull it because it will mess up neighbour plant. Since its in a pot and i just transplant it with all soil and roots undamaged it seemed to work good, especially helps to maintain plants while they are still small and sensitive if you have them in pots, and you can sow them earlier than direct sowing ofc
What are your thoughts?

Thank you for all of the education! Question on Mouse Melons: I have always planted cucumbers in mounds as opposed to the flat solid i a raised bed. My silver slicers and pumpkins are in mounds. Should I do the same for Mouse Melons? Should the the silver slicers have been planted in mounds?
