Hi Eli. For Kate's next lesson, please teach her how to harden off greenhouse seedlings ready for the garden, so that I can learn too.🌱 I always find the hardening off malarky confusing. 😢I am looking forward to the video you promised re sowing tomatoes to grow outdoors as I plan to grow along with you.🍅 Hint, hint.

Eli is a very good teacher. ☺ I think you gave it away when you said the next thing to learn is hardening off the plants. 🤔 There is watering and feeding in between but they won't be in the pots too long before they go out.

I’m freaking out of where all these up potted plants will go😅. I’m trying to rob the 2” pots from other up potted plants for the peppers.

We here in Wisconsin, US are sick of it. Our local winery said because of the one week of heat it forced buds on grapes and now they froze. That is what I’m concerned about. I see you have a side extension to GH. I think I will build a cold frame this year and high tunnel area for next year.

Ditto on this being a fun video! You can bet I'll be "trying this at home." I loved Kate's spade, and my goodness, she's a natural. What's next for her? Grafting or hand pollination sounds good. (She's capable!) But seriously, direct sowing seeds, transplanting perhaps; she might enjoy deciding on what plants to combine or otherwise designing a patch of her own. Maybe offer her some choices for what to do next... Again, the girl's a natural!

Great teamwork, ladies! 👌 After all these years I'm still loathe to "kill the babies" - hence trying to manage my overflowing 'orphanages' until placements! 😵‍💫 i found that most of the time i used the three finger method to handle them : go over the top and close in with fingers slightly apart creating a small space - large enuff that the seedling doesn't fall through. No squishing, no falling from the first leaf coming of the stem mid lift. Each to their own style of pricking out! Good job Kate - watch out for an added " honey do" list! 😂

It’s hard to tell without seeing them, but it sounds like bolting although it’s really early for them to bolt. Have a google and see if that looks like it.
