I always start from seed, but I do start them indoors first, then acclimate then to the outdoors over time before I transplant them outside. This gives me a bit of a headstart with some plants, and I'm trying this with spinach this year.

I love starting my garden plants from seeds, the difference in overall cost is mind blowing and with the variety I like to plant, starts would bankrupt me! Granted, I grow mostly peppers but still ... My question, they can handle cooler nights but what about a day or two of late spring snow? Seems that's an issue here. Thanks for the tips!

Do you leave all 50 plants in the square foot or do you thin them out little and do you plant more than one pepper plant per square foot keep saying people say one pepper plant per foot but but I've grown to pepper plants right next two each other from a container and they grew perfectly fine just as big as the other ones that were separate so I was wondering if that really mattered

Would spinach be able to grow in a bed that is bright all day but no direct sun after noon? It is on a slight slope, and drainage is good. Do I need to cover it with wire or anything to keep critters out? I'm in W. TN, zone 7b/8. Our summers are brutal. Thanks!

I just watched another video of yours from 2019 in which you were planting seedlings and saying why you shouldn't direct sew spinach and other cold hardy plants because of the short growing season and bolting. I'm not sure if I'm dealing with a contradiction or if your opinion changes over time, or what. The reason I'm watching these videos is to figure out if my spinach is planted too close together, but based on this video I'm thinking not.

@blackmber2 жыл бұрын
In my experience kale plants get a lot bigger than spinach, so if you want it to grow to full maturity and harvest large leaves they will need a lot more space. If you plant them close like the spinach you can harvest the micro greens and perhaps thin them out as they grow. Most other greens grow to a more moderate size and it’s up to you whether to harvest the small leaves or give them space and time to bulk up.
