Seeds I'm Sowing in March

[@maisiecheartscontent6533]

Great video! I am looking forward to getting some seeds in as well and for the gardening season to start up. Do you buy any of your seeds from any local companies who produce their own seeds.

Hey! Glad to see you are doing well. I have done some winter planting of assorted flowers and herbs. I have also started sowing some of my flower seeds under lights inside. Can’t wait for warmer weather to get outside and play in the garden. I am in Kentville, NS, now supposedly upgraded to a zone 6. We shall see. 😊☀️🌷

Thanks for you kind comment and good luck :)

I am in central coast California and we had no frost this year! so I got started early! I have a small urban garden but I'm maxing it out this year. Dominating with peppers (sweet and super hots) cucumbers, beans and peas. My brassicas as soon as they are near the end I will stop all brassicas in the garden to avoid the plague of pests (white cabbage moth). I have one side of my house that is quite shady and only gets direct sun about 2 hours in a day, and those beds are planted with spinach, parsley and now greek oregano and lemon thyme.

[@TheOptimisticGardener]

Wow lots on the go! Does it get really hot there, so you have to get in early? But I bet the peppers and cukes love this?!

[@jungleperry]

@@TheOptimisticGardener no we have goldilocks weather. Not too hot not too cold. I can grow beans and peas straight through until winter. Also peppers and tomatoes were still producing medium to large sizes all the way past November into December. San Luis Obispo, California.

I make cabbage rolls stuffed with meat, rice, tomato sauce and cheese backed in tomato sauce. I also like it chopped and mixed in my salads. I'm planting cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, potatoes, peas and beets in the garden now in Missouri, USA. I started peppers and eggplant and getting ready to start my tomatoes. I just love this time of year!

[@TheOptimisticGardener]

Love it!! Lots going on there :) I have been away in Amsterdam all last week on vacation, so need to catch up again and get some more seeds in!

[@22dekester]

Great to see you Steve ! Zone 6 here as well. I soent the rainy Sunday sending in my seed order. Plan to start many of the things you mentioned this coming week inside. Fiound a great deal on lights at the local Canadian Tire and anxious to try them out ! Thanks for the video.

[@TheOptimisticGardener]

Great to hear, good luck!

San Diego - only 3 hours from me - glad you were there when it wasn't flooding 👍🏼. I don't like cooked cabbage but I do love eating a hunk of red cabbage raw just like an apple strangely enough. I always have it on hand for our daily salads - it's the purple for the rainbow color I aim for with our salad. Only broccoli seeds I'm growing this year are for my sprouts along with alfalfa, radish and clover. Best regards

[@TheOptimisticGardener]

Yes got there the week after the flooding :) I actually like Red cabbage, but not raw!

[@nsgardener]

Great to see you back again and glad you are doing well post surgeries. I am also in NS. Curious what seeds you plant for cherry tomatoes. We did Acadians last year in containers. Lots of bloom but very few tomatoes. Happy Gardening

[@TheOptimisticGardener]

Thank you :) The cherries I plant are usually "F1 Cherry Mix" from Mckenzie. They are normally really good "doers" and a and a dark red striped version that I can't remember the type at the moment. I didn't have a very good season last year with my inside or outside tomatoes.

[@happymack6605]

Great to see you again! I hope your hip is well on its way to being 💯%. Starting my peppers this week, also a couple of zucchini, tomatoes and spinach indoors; I know I’m pushing it, but the prices in the stores are ridiculous. Happy almost Spring, from Waterville, NY 😊🎉

[@TheOptimisticGardener]

Thanks Happymack :) Good luck this year :)

[@kismypencek6185]

Very interesting!!! I don't think of sowing those delicate plants for a northern area. I guess my family had their preferences of mainly tubers. But now that I say this we did not have a greenhouse back then. Unused barns though...🤔

[@cindyandneil7727]

I have started tomatoes and cukes, I guess I am a little early but Ihope to put them out in the greenhouse come mid April. also have peppers stated but not sproutrf yet. My fig tree is also stating to leaf.

[@TheOptimisticGardener]

Fig sounds exciting :)

[@cindyandneil7727]

@TheOptimisticGardener Will you be at Seedy Saturday ? Taking placecthis Saturday at St Luke's Church Tantallon

[@guylamullins3602]

I just started curly kale, red onion, celery and radishes. Leeks and garlic already outside. Ive over wintered a cayenne in the house. Next month I will start peas and salad greens. I'm in north central Indiana in the US.

[@TheOptimisticGardener]

Sounds great! Lots going on Guyla. Would love to know how your Cayenne gets on.

[@elizaC3024]

Oh shoot I need to start my flower seeds. I got so busy trying to figure out how to manage my leggy broccoli and brussel sprouts, that I didn't put in my flower seeds.😮

[@TheOptimisticGardener]

Nor me!

[@elizaC3024]

Do you have success with transplanting beets out? Mine usually don't transplant well. I will be starting my peas next week in gutters in my greenhouse, so I can transfer them easily to my garden, when tipped they just slide out easily.

[@TheOptimisticGardener]

Hi Elizabeth, I have definitely managed to transplant them no worries, but I don't think you should worry if you don't. At the end of the day I just sow indoors for insurance, beets are easy enough to germinate outside.

[@cherylboucher6342]

Nice to see you i have a few herbs growing in Los Angeles see ya

[@TheOptimisticGardener]

You can't beat some nice herbs for a bit of flavour! You must be able to grow Rosemary easily there?

[@cherylboucher6342]

@TheOptimisticGardener Rosemary does grow well in L.A nice to talk to you see ya.
