UPDATE: Snail Rolls and

[@JCC_1975]

I started mine after seeing the snail roll method and omgoodness the cucumbers loved it more than anything!!

[@TheGardeningMe]

That's awesome!!

Even after transplanting in the garden/ green house?

@@y.m.3555 My seedlings all turned out really well. Very nice root mass and none were tangled up in the roll. I'm only using this method from now on. 💜 ETA: I already have flowers on the cucumber plants and I'm getting tomatoes and peppers already. Hope you try it. Just FYI, don't use wax paper lol. It falls apart.

@@JCC_1975 Thank you so much! Sounds good! Do you start them 4-5 weeks before transplanting? Or are they younger?

[@JCC_1975]

@@y.m.3555 You're welcome. I start mine whenever I can. If it's cold I will use soda bottles or milk jugs as a mini greenhouse out on the porch. If not I sit them in solo cups on the back porch. This year there were less solo cups to deal with using the snail roll and I just put them all into a metal basket I have. It all depends on when you start your plants.

looks good, they should be fine! I'm not very precious with my seedlings and they seem to be fine with a bit of rough handling and roots exposing etc. :p

[@TheGardeningMe]

I hope so! At least they look ok so far - hopefully they are easy to unwrap come planting time!

This is fascinating! Space and time saver. I'm in Ontario, North of Toronto, so maybe our frost dates are a bit different. Following you for this method, and the single seed challenge. Mine is the ground cherry.

[@TheGardeningMe]

Hi! My frost date is just around the corner on May 10 so I'm sure we are fairly close. I've never grown ground cherries but have eaten them - so delicious! Good luck with your challenge!

I was having issues finding anyone with follow up videos. Thanks for the video. I got a small roll of celery seed started just a moment ago. I figure they’ll take a while and I can put them in a shaded area somewhere in the summer. Hopefully parchment holds up for the couple months it takes to grow, as that is what I ended up using.

[@TheGardeningMe]

Parchment held up a bit better than the waxed paper, but only just. I'm thinking that it may be ok if you don't need to 'pot up' the celery and will just unroll it & plant when the time comes. Best of luck & hope you have a great harvest!

I am getting ready to transplant mine into regular seedling trays, and or cups. I did not know there was a 2n step for adding more soil. I don't understand why you are adding more soil.

[@TheGardeningMe]

Adding more soil is the equivalent of 'potting up' seedlings. By doing this, you can keep them in the seed roll and there's no need to pot them up into cups or seedling trays. They will go directly from the seed roll to being planted outdoors. Hope this helps!
