This New Method of Starting Seeds Will Change Your Life

Today I want to share with you a technique of starting seeds that will change your life! I have been growing my own plants from seed for 12 years now, and throughout those years I have refined my process to make it simple, fun, and effective. If you want to get the most out of your garden starting your own seeds is the best place to start, and today I will show you how to do that.
Thanks for the kind words and support 😁🐕❤️

I’m a beginner gardener in zone 7. I’ve ordered a planting tower but haven’t yet started seeds, etc. Am I too late? Please tell me what basics you recommend for someone just starting to grow food. Trays, seeds, etc. Thank you so much for the informative video. I’ll check out your store once I have an idea of a “starter kit”. Thank you again!

[@davevinton83]

Thanks James! I save the parts I’ve sifted out of my potting mix in a big tub in my potting shed. I grow a fair amount in containers and it’s fine for putting in the bottom of larger containers as the season progresses. Then I’m not wasting any!

[@DontDoDaylight]

I love your videos! Just got all my soil mixed and put into the raised beds/pots! 4 out of 8 celery seeds have germinated in 8 days! Peppers started! Let’s go! First garden ever!

[@samuelmjlfjell]

Let's go James prigioni and Tuck. Make starting seeds great.

[@sealskin5221]

How come we don't see these everywhere? This makes getting those little seedlings out of those cells so easy! Like this is amazing! I would have thought someone would have thought of this before you James.

[@jamesprigioni]

I think we might soon... Yeah the too is super convenient and a game changer IMO

[@katiem9644]

Sifting the soil is a great idea for seeds. Never thought of that. Great video!

[@lilycardoso4679]

You should get a black tub from the cement aisle to mix your soil. They're cheap and work great.

[@connecticutwormsgardens]

@lilycardoso4679 Those trays in the cement aisle are called mortar trays. Yes they work well, but so does using an outdoor table that you can simply spray off and walk away from. Why spend money on another piece of plastic made from petroleum when it isn't necessary? Gadgets are taking over everywhere and everything and we are forgetting that in the days of old we didn't have them and didn't need them

[@river4462]

Or even discarded in good shape bath tubs, not plastic but good ol cast iron enamel. We used them in Hawai'i and the bottom was filled with coconut shells and the coco fiber🤙🏽🏝we make our soil, which is one of the greatest things about tropical living. And less nuisance bugs than mainland. Same growing just different environment. It's all good

[@river4462]

@@connecticutwormsgardensand there was a great appreciation being able to take into your own hands not needing corporate toxins but creating your own gadgets that work just fine. No contributing to the ugly ways of america buy use once throw awy😩

Those are really nice looking trays. Love the drip watering feature on that lid. I will order some and give them a try. Thanks for showing those product features! ❤❤❤for Tuck!

[@sharpland]

That example of the volunteer springing up to catch or surpass a seed started months prior, is spot-on! We've been too eager to start seeds, and lessons were learned. This is valuable advice, especially if your seed starting area has limited space!

[@elainelear4982]

The information about the soil needed for seeds to grow. It brought back what I learned in horticultural classes. Thank you for the reminders. Looking forward to a new growing season.

[@Avatrix-in-the-garden]

Love the video. You are so right on not starting the seeds to early. As a new gardener, I started some zucchini about a month too early. They grew all over the table and flowered in the house before I got them in the garden. Had to carry them out on cookie sheets. They did ok in the garden, but I sure got ribbed by friends and family.

[@ooohlaa13]

I just got my 6 raised garden beds put together and filled. I have the covers still left. Lots of hard work, but I will get something planted this year for sure. May go the easy route and just fill them with herbs and onions. LOL

[@jamesprigioni]

Let's Gooo!! Next year will be super easy, just plant and harvest!

[@bigskyhomestead162]

Would LOVE to see a change of pace with your videos and see things like what you do with all the food you harvest. How you preserve it, give it away, etc.

[@smas3256]

James has many happy neighbors. Garden is so large because he loves doing and teaching others what is possible. My garden is partly shaded by my house and after seeing the possibilities, we went for it.

[@connecticutwormsgardens]

​@@smas3256 I'm sure he does have happy neighbors. I've been gardening for over 50 years and my neighbors are all thrilled. But the person who wrote the message to James, and you are not James, asked JAMES to show what he does with his harvest. Does he preserve? does he dehydrate? Does he freeze dry? It was, in my opinion, an opportunity for another video.

[@bigskyhomestead162]

@smas3256 it's ok that you replied to my message to James! I think it's awesome you went for it with the gardening! I've been gardening for ten years now. I gave a lot of mine away at times too, so I'm sure Jame's neighbors are indeed happy 😊

[@adriankap2978]

So glad you mentioned water logged potting soil. This year I bought my seed starting mix online knowing it’ll be completely dry vs at garden centers or big box garden areas. I understand they can’t always cover but with my age I just can’t lift them out of the vehicle. Plus I bought my potting soil/seed starting mix online at the end of the season in the winter and got a great deal to boot. Thank you for your advice and sharing.

[@maggiemae3659]

YOU ARE WONDERFUL IN SHARING ALL OF THESE TECHNIQUES!!! You and Tuck make a great team. Look forward to more of your videos!!!

[@harrypottah4500]

have fun with fragile seedlings. It may take longer to germinate in rougher soil, but it's actually better for the plant, so you don't have to spend 2 weeks hardening them off.

[@rondamorris3550]

Just received my JP Secret Stuff! Can’t wait for Spring! It’s a false Spring here in NW GA (7b) but I am getting my seeds started this week. ❤ Howdy Tuck!

[@deliathorja442]

I have my spring onions since last year in ground and they look good, so i found some old spinach seeds that might not sprout at all. I put them in the ground yesterday and hope they make it. I'll start my seeds inside on 15th of March.

Who doesn’t love light fluffy soil! Love it! In the past if I have soil that is too wet I squeeze it in a sieve or towel.

[@pamschonfarber1041]

James, You are so right about when to start seedlings. I have been starting in my house in a small greenhouse,but i have waisted seeds, so o know i need to just be paitence. I love the small sifter, just ordered. Love seeing Tuck.

Hello James. That’s a cool grow system. You can use a small set of plastic tongs to lift the plants out of the cells more easily 😊💚

[@annettevanderklippe1653]

Good advice to not start too early. In spring all the different ages of plants seem to catch up with each other. Your seedlings look great and that seed starting system looks brilliant!

[@stephanripianzi4004]

Awesome thanks, I agree ,. A tip from Jersey and from me in boston, MA - don’t plant outside too early you will be sorry, like brushing snow off your sprouts like I did in years past . Thanks James u rock!

[@river4462]

If Too early, better wait till constant warmth. Chill sets em back so might just wait till the right time stressing plants sets them back so....

[@anuwarrier]

Thanks for the reminder that all is not lost if I haven't planted my tomato seeds yet, James! The last frost date for my area is April 29th.

[@sharondewey5529]

I love this video - so informative and your teaching presentation was excellent! I was wondering as I watched my "volunteer" tomatoes grow strong and true out of the ground after a pretty hard winter (uninvited, but definitely appreciated!), if anyone just "sows" their seeds anymore. It's not always possible for people to grow seedlings indoors and sowing becomes. I think it would be helpful for someone as knowledgeable as you to make a little video on tips for sowing seeds "the old fashioned way". If you've already covered this, I'd really like to view it! This year had a lot of obstacles arise (weather and health) that threw my whole gardening schedule out of whack. So I'm trying some "emergency sowing" to recoup. Thanks for all you do, James. You (and the little Boss ❤❤❤) are the best!

[@FreeCanadian76]

Another big benefit to fine vermiculite is that it is antifungal; a fine covering on top of established plant soil can really help with that (I've also heard it discourages fungus gnats!). Can't wait for the growing season!

[@yukey2587]

I finally invested in some vermiculite and peat moss this year. Mixing it up with a ton of home made compost. Refreshing the beds. Yay!

[@MySwellGarden]

Those trays are genius design!

[@dandydonslife9869]

How amazing, u make it look so easy. Thanks.

[@Bigfoottehchipmunk]

Thank you so much for this excellent information and encouragement. and 💗💗💗 to Tuck! I have a foster cat right now, so I am trying to figure out how I will start plants this year. He loves sitting in the window I do that in, and he accidentally crashed my shelves the last time I had him at seed starting time. I have hanging shelves, but I might need to build sturdier and surround them like an indoor greenhouse or something. A note about coco coir, when reconstituting a brick, go less on the suggested water. You can always add more if needed. I have a bucket of soup instead of plant medium for starting sweet potato slips. 😒
