5 Ways To Start Gardening A Month Earlier

[@epicgardening]

Why do I keep thinking it's 2023? Stuck in seasons past over here...😛 - Kevin P.S. The grow light in this video isn't launched yet, but it'll be here once it is: shop.epicgardening.com/products/epic-seed-starting-grow-light?variant=42203625423044

You're not alone. In my job, I write the date in documents all the time. For January, I write 2023 for the first 3 weeks.

[@jennaleigh6049]

That grow light is so cool

[@Akbonkster]

I was just thinking you guys needed an LED seed starting line. I’m putting together a shelf seed starting/growing system and lights based on the 1020 tray footprint are hard to find. Will just the light be available for the diy crowd?

I’ve learned the hard way not to use permanent marker. May sound counter-intuitive, but, it fades! I love using a grease pencil.

[@LakeCityPulse]

​@@annsfrenchAgree, permanent markers fade quickly outside. I use garden markers which don't fade. I like grease pencils too.

[@debbybrady1246]

I also keep a journal. Just a Dollar store spiral notebook. Vegetable, when planted, when germinated, when transplanted, when first harvest. I also add any issues with the plant - like pests, etc. It helps me decide what to plant the next year. I start everything from seeds, indoors.

[@marktoldgardengnome4110]

I suggest when associating where you live to hardiness zones you do so with caution. Hardiness zones/maps are created, and mostly used for any given area's minimum recorded temperatures, average, 5 out of last 10 years. To determine what plants can survive at those temperatures. And primarily concerning perennials. Makes sense to me. I know in my heart that there is no one too concerned, lets say in New England, Maine here, (5A-5B) that is going to try and grow vegetables when temps could hit -20 degrees, but also might want to purchase some citrus trees, or different flowers/shrubs/bushes/trees. Then frost zones become critical. When it comes to purchasing seed or plants Eric's advise to shop locally, from a trusted nursery, and I'll add, not big box, is spot on. Usually there the ones that are more than happy to share what they have learned and Know. I just looked up hardiness "frost" dates and checked out USDA, Cornell University, NOAA, The Farmers Almanac, and a couple garden blogs and major seed companies. Here explains the word caution. One of the Seed companies not only grouped zones 5, 6, and 7 together as having a last "frost" date of April 1st-15th. Whereas most all of the other sites were first week of May???? Just the same, Welcome new Nabuh Dagny, and good luck in your gardens this year all.

[@travistaylor6110]

I bought a 30-count box of little wooden garden signs from Amazon and they're one of the best investments I've made in the garden in a long time. They're about 3 inches tall and they're shaped like little trees, they're cut clean from a wood sheet and the box comes with a sharpie marker. Little things change the whole game! 😊

[@catherinegoeddey9375]

I can't tell you exactly HOW MUCH I appreciate you bringing Dagny in for us colder-climate gardeners!

[@MrYatesj1]

Two weeks ago we had an ice storm that shut the town down, now it's in the 60's. Never to early to start whether it's inside or green house. LET IT GROW

[@catherinesanchez1185]

I was watching a garden video with a guy in SEA . He was cutting the bottoms out of 2 liter clear bottles and just putting them over the seeds/ seedlings to create a tiny individual greenhouse. You could water through the opening . Once the plant grew and was oushjng in the bottle , you removed it . Maybe not large gardens but for those of us with small gardens and no recycling trash service , it’s free and easy and you can reuse the bottles every year .

[@johndesrocher4289]

I LOVE to clean up my garden during the cold months because I know I won’t run into snakes or spiders. So you’ll catch me outside doing all the organizing and heavy stuff, even meticulous tasks so that my garden is ready to simply put seeds in without a weed or debris in sight.

[@lee403]

This might be really self-explanatory, but it took me getting a geology degree to make a habit of moving rocks - and by extension, other large objects in my garden- with my foot because you'd rather get bit on your foot that has a shoe than your hand, which has at most a glove. Stay safe (and warm) y'all

[@midnull6009]

yup, same. This is the time I lay out the compost, cover it w/dirt, then with a tarp again to get all those nutrients into my beds. :)

[@mynameisnotjose]

I took a risk starting sunflowers early indoors, but i couldn't wait! I received some seeds from my son's school garden and I needed to plant them! Now they're growing taller than the grow light no matter what I do. Even when the lights are off over night they grow an inch! This video was insanely perfect timing.

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Love to hear this!

[@beckymartinez9926]

Will you attempt transplanting?

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

I've had terrible luck with sunflowers started indoors. They always grow too fast and too leggy, even under the grow lights, so they keel over when I transplant them. Unless I direct sow them outside en masse, they simply won't work for me.

[@verawallace9055]

Same thing happens with my dahlias I ordered, once they arrive I started them in the house, big mistake although I did have early blooms from three of them, this time around if they arrive early I will wait awhile before starting them

[@RealBradMiller]

So, you can pot them up, and plant their stems super deep, like one would a tomato. Just be careful, repotting them too much will stress them out and they won't be their best! I actually plant many seedlings super deep, most things root along their stem!

That's the best way to learn your climate and zone 👏

[@MyFocusVaries]

Love it. Winter sowing is my method. Sow and forget until spring. Though I'm trying to figure out a plastic free alternative. The more i learn about plastics and their affect on the environment and our bodies, the more I worry. Maybe winter sowing in a cold frame.

[@m.maclellan7147]

Perhaps you could start in a glass cloche ?!

[@paulineferrill4348]

I've wondered about that too. I'm not too worried about microplastics but it is a lot of waste. I think a hoop tunnel would be less plastic overall. That being said I know some local gardeners really like repurposing RV antifreeze jugs that they get at RV dealerships for free.

I love the idea of keeping your peppers, starting from seed over and over again is quite a hustle haha

[@johnxlibris]

Building a greenhouse in my backyard is on my #goals list.

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

I think my failure point in over-wintering container peppers is not removing the saucers under them so the soil stays too wet and I'm probably getting rot in the roots. The only one that worked last year was the only one with no saucer.

[@epicgardening]

Agree - gotta keep them moist but not soaked AT ALL

[@earthisflat]

Some pepper varieties seem to overwinter by themselves, my Marisol Chile pepper plant I got about 3 and a half years ago learned how to naturally overwinter itself although I don't live in a cold climate temps in my area during the winter can get down to 30 degrees it looses all of its leaves( even though it's still producing now) and when spring rolls around it absolutely explodes with growth but again I think it's dependent on the variety 🤔

[@selinaagir]

Yes!! started a few days ago and I’m tackling my garden completely different this year. Feeling confident and excited 😇

[@gratefulMOMent]

Hooray for Winter Sowing! So happy to see this idea make its appearance. Great video, as always! 🌱 💚

[@AmandaRPatterson]

I had very good luck with carrots and parsnips by starting them indoors in grow bags. They germinated very quickly. I did have to harden them off but that isn't so difficult. Carrots and parsnips don't transplant well, but moving the whole grow bag avoided that issue. A new thing I'm trying currently is I took one of my old, somewhat cracked plastic storage totes. I turned it upside down and drilled a bunch of air holes along the top of the sides. This is basically a portable greenhouse. I can put the plants on the lid (the whole tote is upside down) and haul the whole thing in and outside each day if I need to (I started my peppers way too late last year and way too early this year). Or I could leave the lid out of the picture and just put the tote directly on top of soil. This is new so I'm not sure how well it will work long term. I also cut the very bottom off of 1 gallon water jugs and put that over my tomatoes that I planted in grow bags in early January. They're holding up great! Two already have several clusters of flowers and are early producers (one is Botanical Interests Yellow Patio Choice) so I should see tomatoes before the end of March.

I’m still a beginner and want to plant another fruit tree, an herb and tea garden and a few veggies. I have learned so much from you and enjoy your videos with Jacques. You two are crazy for doing that chili tasting test! Well good luck. I’m a fan and student of the channel.

[@Gardeningchristine]

Some of the potatoes I grew last year were putting out eyes, just one healthy 1-3 inch eye each, so I popped them off and ate the potatoes. I planted all of the little eyes about 1/2 way in 3 inch pots and threw them under my grow light. Why not right. I was going to throw them in the compost anyway. I am amazed that they are all greening up and leafing out. I’m going to have to pot them up soon. I did this last year with a red potato eye my uncle sent me and potted it into a 3 gallon pot and got 9 nice potatoes. I was able to take it outside for a couple months to finish growing, but I’m hopeful that my south facing windows and grow lights will get me a harvest.

[@lizziesmusicmaking]

If you're up north, trying to start seeds on a windowsill in february or march, you may find you need additional light. I use a growlight in addition to the light from the west-facing window of the sill. Before that they got rather spindly. They are much better now.

[@JeffrotheDude]

Sometimes i think about labeling and starting seeds in trays and stuff, but for some reason i always come back to the good ol "throw the seeds everywhere and hopefully one of them comes up somewhere"

[@epicgardening]

Nothing wrong with that approach!

[@j10001]

Just like Mother Nature 😂

[@imafan26]

Labels can be expensive. For short crops and for very long ones use empitsu ( a no. 2 pencil or a number 1 if you can find it) pencil will last longer than ink on pots you keep a long time. Turn the label toward the pot and push it down to keep it from being exposed to more light. If you use pencil on a good quality thick label, you can erase it and use it again. If you use a marker, you would have to paint the label with white out to use it again. I use non compostable knives because it also works as a garden tool and I can wash china marker off with a scrubber and scouring powder. I can also use a pencil on a plastic knife, but I would have to sand the shine off first. I love the critter cage idea. How do you determine how many seeds to plant? My problem, I start more seeds that I have space for because I plant too many extras. How much overseeding is o.k? Also for succession planting would you stagger some seed starts?

[@Thingys-Jill]

I started my artichoke and pepper seeds at the beginning of January. They're growing nicely! I'll be starting tomatoes in a couple of weeks so they're nice and big before going outside. Don't forget hardening off! I put mine on rolling shelves that I will have near the garage door. I simply open and close the door for hardening off!

[@SilverSaabArc]

Even in Michigan, I'm starting some of the finicky Super hot peppers. We have a week without freezing temps (34F at night for the nextc3 days), so I'm working much compost. Russian Red kale and cilantro is literally thriving outside right now!

Cold Frame. This sounds like the perfect thing for the glass shelfs that I kept out of an old refridgerator. I have been trying think of a way to use them. A greenhouse is something that I've been wanting to do for a while, but budget wise, can't. This cold frame might be a great alternative.

[@Talula72]

I brought one of my peppers in for the first time last Fall. I cut it back, took off all the leaves and set under a grow light. It grew new leaves, flowered and gave me 2 jalapenos. Since then it is just basically stayed the same. I hope it does ok going outside come warmer temps

[@zachanderson3112]

My dad is letting me use his massive backyard greenhouse this year to start my seeds. I just ordered 80 dollars worth of seeds for this year about 2 minutes ago lol.

I am finding many flowers do require light to enhance germination. Be sure your aware seed variety needs. PS tall order my area to promise 1 month of full sun 🌞.

These were great tips. I think I'm going to try the frost fabric and cage method to start my squash early. My estimated last frost date is February 15th and I usually don't plant my frost tender plants out until March. I have squash vine borers problems and haven't gotten a single squash since I started gardening. I'm planting them in a different spot in my garden since vine borers overwinter in the soil. I'm planting them out in early February and protecting them with frost fabric and then insect netting until I start getting squash. I will have to hand pollinate but it's worth the extra work to me.

I've used your technique of pruning peppers back to overwinter them. One is still dormant and I'm hoping it will spring back. The other one I pruned already has leaves coming out! It looks so happy and ready to rock. I also have two more peppers in a pot upstairs by the windows. I did not prune it or anything but it is trying to put out flowers already? I think being in the extreme far north is just too hostile towards life, but I am trying!
