I adored this video not only for the helpful advice...but because there was NO BLOODY MUSIC.

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

I'll add some next time .... just kidding.

[@Bilal_A_K_Niazai]

After watching your videos, my work efficiency improved by 1000-fold. I can't thank God enough for introducing you to me. Being my teacher, you will always be in my prayers. Stay blessed! 💕

[@gigelchiazna1573]

after watching couple of thousands of gardening videos & channels I can say this is not only top but scales above anything I watched

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Thank you so much.

[@MrsLugo-re5vb]

As a brand new gardener, these videos are my lifeline. Thank you!!!!!

[@KenpoMoogy]

This guy is an old sage or Oracle of the Garden! I’d be willing to pay for a class with him. Such a wealth of information!

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Since you put it that way: here are some of my courses: www.gardenfundamentals.com/school/

[@secondaccount6716]

loved your video. really appreciate how you just say what needs to be said.......without repeating.........and repeating......and.......well you know :) really good job and i will follow your methods

[@jayjohnson3724]

You are amazing. Knowledge, freely given, how lovely. Thank you.

[@redbeard5236]

A newer method is a soil blocker. It takes moistened soil(which I mix my own) and compacts it into the same blocks as the seed starter trays we use, just without the plastic. They air prune and you can just transplant them into a place they can mature, when ready. We still use the bottom water method. Stewpendous Growth is our gardening channel. We have 11 subscribers so far!

[@babsoneverything3060]

I just found your channel, and I'm in love. Your videos answer soooo many questions that I've had over the years. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us. You're a gem!

[@michaeledmeston2785]

I have just started gardening and stumbled across the pre-germinaton method using paper towel ( i.e. the baggy method as mentioned). I found it brilliant for vegetable planting, especially those with bigger seeds. Massive increase in success rate.

[@milliestone5919]

Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it.

[@artstreetstudio]

Thank you! Excellent video and very easy to understand.

[@damonshanabarger2604]

I once got some German Chamomile from Burpee's and got great results placing the seed trays on a metal table in the basement. Evidently, they like to start out on the cool side. The owner of a local garden store said he never had any luck getting those to germinate. I asked him if he ever tried cooling them down at germination. He said, "he hadn't." I think that the vast majority of commercial chamomile are currently grown in Egypt now. I wonder if they have to cool them down to get them started. Chamomile, I'm not sure, is indigenous to Germany. They have a pleasant smell.

[@cbak1819]

Very useful video for beginners Broadcasting requires 2 waterings per day in my garden. I soil block..more fussy but quicker plant out date.

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Robert great video. Thanks for offering all these resources.

[@younglee3285]

Great video thank you!

[@heatherhui938]

I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🙏

[@tigertantitan576]

Thank you

[@carllopresti697]

Great video thanks

[@daledecker7434]

Thanks Robert well done video thanks for the great tips. Shard with my group KW Backyard Vegetable Gardens. Happy Gardening!

[@debbiet7143]

excellent info

[@bigrich6750]

In my experience, Broadcasting works fine for some things. Turnips and mustard for instance, respond well to broadcasting. I have a whole bed full of turnips and mustard right now that I did nothing but sprinkle over the bed and cover with vermiculite and water. Turnips are almost weeds so it’s hard to keep them from growing. You can’t simply leave them laying on the soil. I sprinkle vermiculite over them and water them in, and while I may not get 100 percent germination, I feel the time saved is worth it. I direct sow things that need more careful spacing. My favorite method of starting seeds is soil blocks. It’s messy and time consuming on the front end but saves time on the back end. I started Meyer Lemon seeds by simply dropping seeds from lemons my sister gave me. I saw all kinds of videos with several steps, but simply popping the seeds directly from the lemon into a container with potting soil and got great germination. Now I have more Meyer Lemon trees than I know what to do with. Same with Mango seeds. Every mango seed I’ve stuck into a pot, germinated and grew.

[@airbornestud3007]

I've been growing for years using the peat pellets in self watering trays & I've never had to take the netting off the pellets. The root goes right through it

[@barneygimble8497]

Peat pellets from Jiffy I have excellent germination and growth and have never had a problem with roots getting trapped in the pellet. If we're starting 30 or less seeds,.this is what I would use.

[@rosallorosa]

Hello! thank you for such interesting videos, can you tell me how to grow mars marigold and common arowhead from seeds? I live in a warm climate. South america.

[@dorothyfu7540]

Would you please talk about how to start Begonia seeds? I have never had any success, and wondered if you have any experience with them.

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

I have started a few begonia species without difficulty. Make sure you use the right pre-treatment.

[@allenglasgow3813]

to get the best onions they must b grown from seed sets produce small onions that go to seed it is true growing onions from seed takes a long time, they must b started very early but another option is to grow onions from plants that have been grown in the south to about 1/8-1/4 in in diameter these plants come in a bunch of 50-75 and can b planted outside in early spring to probuce large sweet onions -up to 2 lb onions bulb according to the length of daylight plant onions for your area short day for south intermediate for most of us and long day for north

[@claudettemonty4077]

I am living in Montreal, Quebec and we received yesterday one foot to 20 inches of snow and we have a lot of very cold temperatures like minus 30’F often. Can I do your winter sowing?? Can I do this method for tomatoes and cucumbers??

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

I tried tomatoes last year and they worked great.

[@annanelson9501]

What is your opinion on soil blocking?

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Never used it - seems like a lot of work.

[@MBEspinosa]

Here I came because I have some very tasty hot peppers in the freezer and I want to propagate them from their seeds. I know that I am not the Kew Garden seed bank and I also live in Buenos Aires (Argentina). What do you think? Will I have any success with those seeds?

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Maybe - it would be best not to freeze them, but they might be OK. non-frozen they are easy to germinate.

[@MBEspinosa]

@@Gardenfundamentals1 None of these germinated. Do not work if I put them in the domestic freezer . The seeds that work for me are the ones that I let dry and put in paper envelopes and stay dry.

[@amealnet2495]

What Soil recommended at different stages of growth ?

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Same soil all the time. As new seedlings I do use Promis - after that my garden soil.

[@younglee3285]

Do winter sown flowers take longer to bloom than indoor sown flowers?

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

That depends when you start the indoor ones. The advantage of indoor is that you can grow them for a few months and get a head start.

[@younglee3285]

@@Gardenfundamentals1 Thank you

sir. i am from the caribbean trinidad ,30 degree celsius and above most of the time,planted zucchini heat resistant seeds but not growing sprouting,over 14 days,i plant hard seeds corn ochro peagon peas direct on the ground and they grow beautiful, zucchini is planted in cups.what is the problem.seeds from two companies.

[@mistybatten1829]

Peat pots are also worthless,they have killed so many of my seedlings and never made it to the garden.i used them for plants that dont like their roots disturbed.

[@suepercy8390]

5 years,. You must be an optimist

[@Gardenfundamentals1]

Just stubborn :)
