I'm growing corn for the first time this year, so this video was great timing for me! I've been chitting my potatoes on a sunny windowsill and have thick green sprouts, and it's been really fun to watch!

[janicealderson]

Soaked to long and too hot so they went a bit mouldy just wiped them off and planted in pots nothing yet! I will start a new lot of beans in jars and be more careful - thank you for the good advice!

Very good information on sprouting seeds! I’ve always just dropped them… but wanted to sowed this process up. Thanks! Hopefully next week green beans will go down…. Still waiting on my potatoes to sprout.. they are in mh closet right now!

[amyfrink]

Thank you! Could you use this method for popping corn as well?

[Off-Grid-Ping]

I thought I was going crazy when I went in my greenhouse and all my bean seeds were missing with perfect holes where they were! Wonder what that is that steals them!

[marypoor]

This is so helpful - thank you! May i ask you to please comment on why you see your peas so very thickly? Do you then thin the seedlings when they are up? Thanks sgain.

[lisaquinn]

How deep do you plant the peas? Your trench is definitely deeper than I have ever planted and this is maybe why mine fail.

[lauram]

How much wiggle room is there in timing for planting potatoes? Is it better to wait until the sprouting is the correct length, even if past last frost date? Or should I put in ground even if it’s just barely stubby so I don’t miss the window. I’m almost at our last frost date but my seed potatoes aren’t as sprouted as the ones you showed as ready for planting.

Don't presprout for Hybrid seeds mess up Hybrid?

[ruthyshemanski]

I have potatoes that have very long sprouts/eyes. Too far gone?

[carvedwood]

i just presoak them overnight and sow them. no real need to watch them sprout imo
