Hyssop/Agastache, Echinaceas, Artichokes, Asparagus, Peppers, Onions, Leeks, Herbs, Holy Basil, Pansies/Violas, Angelica, Eggplant, Cauliflower, Celery/Celeriac… so many seeds being started!! Favorite time of year (well that and seeing it all growing and being harvested 😂)!!
I have my peppers in under grow lights. They have been potted up once already. I have also started onions, lavender, basil and leeks. So far everything looks great.
First year for trying Winter Sowing, have onions, celery, some peppers and tomatoes plus leeks and broccoli. Will be starting some seeds inside now for zone 4b/5a been making a list, replaced a bunch of seeds that my sick cat peed on, my MiGardener seeds arrived today, I got my grow lights out and ready to start some inside sowing!
We are about to start red onions, yellow onions, and bunching green onions. The kids are excited for planting season! We just moved to Oregon last year so we are adjusting to the climate...Here we go!
Zone 4a here. Winter sowed in water jugs, on Groundhog's Day: White Swan Echinacea, Meadow Arnica, Lowbush Blueberry, Feverfew, American Ginseng and Purple Pitcher Plant. This has been the only way I can start echinacea from seed. I'm going to start my onions and peppers indoors, any day now.
I live in Georgia, I’m starting peppers, tomatoes, milkweed, rosemary, lavender, egg plant, echinacea, brassicas and snap peas. I watched your stratification video and it helped. Love your content. ❤
Marigolds have been tinkered with genetically. The ones to plant that have the stink that pollinators like are french marigolds. If you want pollinators, plant those.
So true about mint. There is a riverside park near where I used to live that is so invaded by mint and catnip it is replacing all the native plants. I used to corral my plants in a big plastic nursery pot buried in the garden, but now that I live by literal untouched wilderness, they’re in pots in the greenhouse. I am not taking chances.
The Mexican marigold also known as Mexican tarragon live for years. VERY nice edible flower and leaves to flavor all sorts of cooking used fresh or dried. The Anise hyssop also is yummy used extracted in vinegar and sprinkled over salad. As a dried herb in tea it can open your bronchia and help with breathing. Our bees love it... but only lives like 3 years before it begins to fade here in Georgia. I couldnt find those trays at Bootstrap, but I did find what looked similar with 200 cells. I hope it fits a 1020 tray.
I start my peppers and tomatoes in January. Finally have a pepper plant that's has been growing since last season😊 Been trying for the last three seasons and they usually die.
I'm actually writing things down right now so thank you for all the help. I wasn't able to garden at all for the past 2 years due to leukemia so I'm extra excited to get going. I'm placing my first order on your website as well. Just wanted to say thank you again! Hope everyone has the best growing season ever 🍅🥒🧄🥔🌽🍓
Soon as your seeds get here we're planting all those funky Melons you sell. You know the ones that look like a deflated tire and many more weird MiGardener varieties of eggplant, and cukes! Candy Roaster squash has been a Nightmare for us to source. Once we grow this its food security. We're building the garden with what little we have so we can make it through winter here off grid. Adding more fruit trees / and berry bushes at some point. Last years new berry bushes did nothing, The peach tree, nothing the apple tree had buds and grew 1 ft
I’m winter sowing seeds in gallon water jugs. So far I have Alisa Craig, red Wethersfield, and white sweet Spanish onions, iceberg lettuce, rouge de Verona radicchio, sugar snap peas, golden Detroit beet, Waltham 29 broccoli, and Catskills Brussels sprouts, all from MIgardener. BTW, it should be “Brussels” sprouts, not “Brussel” sprouts on the seed packet. They were named after the capital of Belgium, Brussels.😉
I started mine yesterday too. Last year I started in late January and had such a tremendous harvest my freezer is still full of them. Year before I started mid March and got nothing. Hoping mid feb is the sweet spot lol. I live in Poland, similar climate to Michigan
@@KateTheMama can I ask which zone you are in and what size pots are your peppers in by the time you plant them out? I typically start mine in early march but will have to give it a shot this year.
Better than proptek? Mehhhh.... I think not. But I don't have a seed selling business so my market farmer opinion prob don't matter now does it lol... great vid per usual, stay frosty stay blessed everyone.🤘🇺🇸🧂
Yesterday I started rooted parsley, calendula, asian poppie, peppers, rice and I started onions a few weeks ago and am starting to move them out to the hoop house. Next will be celery, roselle, more peppers and tobacco. BTW, I tried the sand layer on top of the pots for fungus nats and it is helping. Thanks.
I am marveling at your onion seeds . Looked at the seeds I sprinkled on the surface of the dampened jiffy seed mix Mon and pressed into the soil to make contact. I was lazy and meant to go out to the garage and get vermiculite for the top and got side tracked and forgot so I peeked at the seeded container and lifted the lid and the onion seeds were sprouting. These were 2021 Texas early Grano, 2021 Red Long of Tropea, 2021 Bianca Di Maggio. I am in shock I have this thing about seeds being living things and not throwing seeds away without giving them a chance to grow first. I can honestly say I have had about an 80% success rate of old seeds growing inspite of people thinking the germination of the old seeds will be next to none. They are coming up I will have to sift the vermiculite over them slowly dry so the flakes can nestle down around the sprouts and slowly cover them then spray water it. I thought it would take awhile to sprout out year old onion seeds! I LOVE IT!!
Thank you for talking about the pink mold! I usually do all veggies from seeds and buy my herbs as plants. This year, I'm doing cold stratification for herbs from seed. I was a little panicked at the small bits of pink mold. Thanks for the explanation!
I started my peppers and tomatoes a little early and got a huge storm that blew away my greenhouse so I spent the weekend building a new one...cemented in the ground....and now I'm restarting everything. Really only sad about my bonsai and succulents that were lost
I ran into problems last year from starting seeds too early because my growlight setup was insufficient, and spring of 2023 was unusually cold late into May. The plants got leggy and weak, and died by the time it was warm enough to take them outside. I ended up having to restart them several times, which wasted a lot of seeds and potting soil. The good news is I've upgraded the 800 lumen bulbs to 4000, and tested them on mature plants over the winter. Hopefully I can avoid the same mistakes.
Im in Western WA and have started Cabbage, Broccoli, Spinach, Dinosaur Kale, Lettuces, Onions, 4 kinds of peppers, 4 kinds of Tomatoes, Basil, Cilantro and Celery. The Celery hasnt started to come up yet. Has me a little worried but it always does. Lol
Unfortunately we have cats and no spare room to be a grow space. I'm hoping, with the seeds purchased, I will have enough time. I have 10 packets from MIgardener ready and waiting. Honeynut and butterneck squash, cucumbers, lima beans, blue lake pole beans l, spring blush peas, sunflower, cabbage, pumpkin and fennel. Our tomatoes and zucchini I will get from our local nursery.
Just got my Tango celery seeds from Berlin yesterday. I've never grown celery before, so I'm hoping for success. My snapdragons are already going gangbusters as seedlings, in for a week.
Id been told so many things would take over & they didn't, so when I planted mint i didn't believe it. 😮 The mint did take over! I'm still fighting it. Mint will take over!!
Zone 6 here…our seedlings at the moment, onions walla walla & ruby red, strawberries, peppers sweet & spicy, foxglove, hyssop, rosemary, thyme, oregano, echinacea, Shasta daisy, parsley & lavender ! Start my night shade & gourds in 3 weeks. Winter sown milkweed! First time buying MIgardener seeds & I am obsessed. Incredible germination rate! Everything I planted so far has grown !!! Great work!
I started my sweet peppers last night. Then proceeded to drop half a tray of freshly planted snacking peppers 🤦♀️ So today I will re plant and see if I can get the contents of what I spilled to grow too😂🤦♀️ and start my onions. next I will start eggplant herb and lettuce. Then in a week or two my tomatoes and lots of other goodies including flowers. I love Bootstrap farmer. I have their small pastel colored pots. Definitely need to order the tray for them. They can get tippy.
Started rosemary and lavender .Was so shocked when they germinated in only 1 wk. So happy to get my appleblossom snap dragons in the mail today. They will be started this week.
Aw so sorry. I feel your heart break I missed them last year. If you put them on your wishlist maybe they will restock. Wish there was a way we could share I definitely would.
I'm growing those too! About 100 of them. Not kidding. Stupidly started way back in November but I knew they are hardy here even in colder weather. How? I had seedlings last year in a plastic pot on my deck in which the soil completely froze even though I moved them under my porch roof. While they were down there, my dog decided to try and uh...uppot them and completely pulled them out, and even chewed some, let's just say, they were "pinched" extremely early. I popped them back in, just to see what would happen and wouldn't ya know, GORGEOUS blooms, until they fell off my deck ledge when it broke, then I had the beautiful blooms in a bowl of water to prettify my kitchen table and yes, I replanted what was left in the ground and they did bloom again, I'd say the suckers are pretty hardy🤣. Good luck with yours!
Im in zone 7b wish I have grow lights coz I really wanted to start tomato and pepper seeds early but I don’t have one yet. So I started winter sowing in tea jugs with Sunflower, sweet pea, poppy, forget me not, and columbine planted them last Jan. 25 as of today, The sunflowers are almost on the top of the jugs lol sweet pea and poppy are 2” tall while forget me not is 1” columbine none pop out yet
Sweet peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, luffa, oregano, beans & peas are the main things I'm planning on seed starting within the next week, not more than about a dozen or 2 of each though, as I prefer staggered my plantings for easier transplanting.
I have peppers, lettuce, Arugula Broccoli, Spearmint, Tomatillos, Radishes, Upland cress, Basil and strawberry plants growing indoors right now. My radishes have not bulbed up though, so I'm concerned about those. The leaves are big but that's all. The root looks sort of like a carrot with no shoulders and lots of tiny roots coming from it.
As I have to work around a week long trip at the end of March, and no one available to care for seedlings, the only thing I have started right now are geraniums. The day after I get back, however, I will be starting a ton of seeds - a lot of flowers, tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins (we grow Atlantic Giants and give them a head start), cukes, etc, etc. I'm in the far reaches of northern NY, zone 4b.
I’m so excited for this video! I am a beginner seed sower(first time ever!) and have started some arugula and kale indoors, as well as cilantro. Looking to start peppers and tomatoes soon! I’m in Vermont so having fun seeking growth indoors!
Luke! Your amazing!!! Next year all my seed shopping is going to be with you. Love Boot Strap. So glad your carrying there products. Can you please verify what you’re planting? Please. Are those bell peppers? I’m in zone 7a. Should I also start my seeds?
Hi Luke, thank you for your videos ! I’m in MN so appreciate the northern climate information. I started so MI Gardener salad bowl seeds in rinsed vinegar gallon container terrarium style this week. They are in my greenhouse with a heat mat under for the nights. This worked good last year, then transplanted them to 5 gal buckets when about 5 inches tall. Going to start some peppers this week!
Started san marzano tomatoes, jalapeños, grand bell peppers, basil, spinach, rosemary, catmint, marigold, lavender, and 3 different onions. The onions I started on the 2nd. The rest I started yesterday.
I just found your you tube channel and already love your topics. I started geraniums from seed and am sooo excited as to how they are proceeding. I also start all my vegetables from seed and have basil and walla walla onions already on their way.
@@jhildebrand7447 My mint made the jump and it’s ALL over my garden ! The ONLY thing that may be a little okay about it jumping the pot is it keeps rabbits out of the garden. I pulled mint all summer last year and I’m sure I’ll be pulling mint all summer this year. ☹️❄️🫠💚🙃
@@jhildebrand7447 I had 3 types in pots beside a raised bed. I tell myself it'll be fine if they stay out of the bed lol It def grows well in pots here (Arkansas) but it actually hit 120 (heat index) last year and everything in a pot suffered ugh
IN 7a E TN, we started our peppers 2 weeks ago. The smaller peppers and plants give a harvest during the growing season however, the larger plants (bells) have not had mature fruit before the first frost. I am sure that I have been starting them too late direct seeding. I've also started thyme, oregano, basil, sage, brassicas (in 3 inch pots), lettuce, kale, celery, spilanthes, Munstead lavender, Roselle and onion. I'm running out of room and have flowers to start. I will find a way and a place to plant them outside. We have mustards growing in the high tunnel right now. Thanks for all of the great advice over the years. I remember watching you start seeds on the coffee table while sitting on the couch and then transplanting into the front yard area I believe.
Lol, I started peppers really early last year to have larger plants, but they were stressed from needing potted up and some aphids appeared from nowhere and killed all but one.
I started my eggplants and peppers on Feb 7th. I’m in 7a, so I have a good growing season, but these take a long time to start producing. Great when they do though. Today my first sprouts emerged and they are all……MI Gardener Casper eggplant!
Last year was my first successful seed starting year. I usually kill my seedlings when I start hardening off for the outside winds and rains. I will be starting my pepper seeds in March. I am in Michigan but I am part of the 4a climate zone....😂❤
I started some basil, lettuce, rosemary and cilantro in cells yesterday. I like to cut baby lettuce to eat and feed to our bunny. Later this week, I’m going to start my poppies, begonias and pansies. Starting seeds this time of year helps me stay positive during these gray gloomy winter days. We’ve had some sunny days this week and it motivates me more to start my seeds. Thanks for the video and inspiration to get my garden going.
Zone 7a/b here. Impatient and begonias were seeded Jan 15. Peppers sprouted and planted Feb 10. Ginger planted Feb 10. Buy lemon grass as Asian store, cut 4” off bottom, place in water on heat mat already rooted in 2 weeks.
I harvested my lemon grass last year took several stalks and potted them up in gallon pots. They've been growing and multiplying all winter. They're in my family room under my LED plant lights. They do take up a lot of space. I have ginger growing the same way.
I have a pepper growing in my kitchen window right now. I was so happy to see the fruit starting to grow. It was just an experiment so we'll see how big it grows
I started my seeds this weekend 😁. I like to choose my seed starting cell size based on the length of time I intend to keep it inside the house. For a tomatoe or pepper.. they get big. And I keep them inside for a long time. I like a bigger cell for those because I don't need to pot them multiple times. But fir things like onions. I don't keep them inside for long and they don't grow fast. So smaller is fine. That huge cell starter could come in handy for slow growing starts. I'm thinking of starting a bunch of thyme for ground cover this year. Hopefully you'll have the seed start thing soon.
Hyssop/Agastache, Echinaceas, Artichokes, Asparagus, Peppers, Onions, Leeks, Herbs, Holy Basil, Pansies/Violas, Angelica, Eggplant, Cauliflower, Celery/Celeriac… so many seeds being started!! Favorite time of year (well that and seeing it all growing and being harvested 😂)!!

Luke, sad to admit but i am one of those that packs the living snot out of my trays! You are too funny in your descriptions!!!
I start my arroz con pollo Cuban peppers this early because they take ffffoooorrrrreeeevvvveeerrrrrr to get started, but they are worth it 😍
First year for trying Winter Sowing, have onions, celery, some peppers and tomatoes plus leeks and broccoli. Will be starting some seeds inside now for zone 4b/5a been making a list, replaced a bunch of seeds that my sick cat peed on, my MiGardener seeds arrived today, I got my grow lights out and ready to start some inside sowing!

Your not kidding on the rosemary. Started then since December and as of today are 4 inches long. Definitely like planting early.

My mom planted mint when I was kid it’s still grow in our yard and I have to cut it all back every year to just to 1 shrub. Infinity mint glitch.
Started san marzano tomatoes, jalapeños, grand bell peppers, basil, spinach, rosemary, catmint, marigold, lavender, and 3 different onions. The onions I started on the 2nd. The rest I started yesterday.
I just found your you tube channel and already love your topics. I started geraniums from seed and am sooo excited as to how they are proceeding. I also start all my vegetables from seed and have basil and walla walla onions already on their way.
Hi from Latvia. :) We will start peppers, egg plants, pineberry and various herbs next week.
Don’t set your pot of any type of mint directly on the ground it WILL escape through the drainage holes. From experience!!! ❄️🫠💚🙃
Yep, I did it too...Oops 😂
I can't keep mint alive in a pot in phoenix
@@jhildebrand7447 My mint made the jump and it’s ALL over my garden ! The ONLY thing that may be a little okay about it jumping the pot is it keeps rabbits out of the garden. I pulled mint all summer last year and I’m sure I’ll be pulling mint all summer this year. ☹️❄️🫠💚🙃
@@jhildebrand7447 I had 3 types in pots beside a raised bed. I tell myself it'll be fine if they stay out of the bed lol
It def grows well in pots here (Arkansas) but it actually hit 120 (heat index) last year and everything in a pot suffered ugh
Happened with my lemon balm
you can overwinter peppers
Seeds we are *Starting* now… #spellcheck 😊❤
LoL … I started my super hots 2 weeks ago and I’m only 45 min from your shop … BTW some of the seeds are yours!
IN 7a E TN, we started our peppers 2 weeks ago. The smaller peppers and plants give a harvest during the growing season however, the larger plants (bells) have not had mature fruit before the first frost. I am sure that I have been starting them too late direct seeding. I've also started thyme, oregano, basil, sage, brassicas (in 3 inch pots), lettuce, kale, celery, spilanthes, Munstead lavender, Roselle and onion. I'm running out of room and have flowers to start. I will find a way and a place to plant them outside. We have mustards growing in the high tunnel right now. Thanks for all of the great advice over the years. I remember watching you start seeds on the coffee table while sitting on the couch and then transplanting into the front yard area I believe.
Lol, I started peppers really early last year to have larger plants, but they were stressed from needing potted up and some aphids appeared from nowhere and killed all but one.
I started my eggplants and peppers on Feb 7th. I’m in 7a, so I have a good growing season, but these take a long time to start producing. Great when they do though. Today my first sprouts emerged and they are all……MI Gardener Casper eggplant!
Love the Bootstrap products that are available! Thanks for selling them!
Thank You!
I started snapdragons last weekend. They sprouted yesterday!
I am going to start my peppers and herbs, Tango celery, and ground cherries this weekend!
Great advice! Started leek, onion & firecracker pepper seed from MI Gardener so far.
My growing area is about 60 degrees. I ll need to get a few heat mats for my banana peppers and watermelons
I didn't compact at all and never had luck with seed starting. There's a happy medium and compacting some does the trick.
Such good advice on mot packing in the soil!
Luke, I label my plants and are mostly MI gardener and they are all all germinating, great seeds.
Last year was my first successful seed starting year. I usually kill my seedlings when I start hardening off for the outside winds and rains. I will be starting my pepper seeds in March. I am in Michigan but I am part of the 4a climate zone....😂❤
I started some basil, lettuce, rosemary and cilantro in cells yesterday. I like to cut baby lettuce to eat and feed to our bunny. Later this week, I’m going to start my poppies, begonias and pansies. Starting seeds this time of year helps me stay positive during these gray gloomy winter days. We’ve had some sunny days this week and it motivates me more to start my seeds. Thanks for the video and inspiration to get my garden going.
Zone 7a/b here.
Impatient and begonias were seeded Jan 15.
Peppers sprouted and planted Feb 10.
Ginger planted Feb 10.
Buy lemon grass as Asian store, cut 4” off bottom, place in water on heat mat already rooted in 2 weeks.
Start3d my peppers and eggplant, plus some herbs!
I started my leeks and onions yesterday. The herbs will be started tomorrow.
I started my peppers early February
I harvested my lemon grass last year took several stalks and potted them up in gallon pots. They've been growing and multiplying all winter. They're in my family room under my LED plant lights. They do take up a lot of space. I have ginger growing the same way.
Love Bootstrap Farmer and ProMix😊
love your excitement-great vids
I have a pepper growing in my kitchen window right now. I was so happy to see the fruit starting to grow. It was just an experiment so we'll see how big it grows
I started my seeds this weekend 😁. I like to choose my seed starting cell size based on the length of time I intend to keep it inside the house. For a tomatoe or pepper.. they get big. And I keep them inside for a long time. I like a bigger cell for those because I don't need to pot them multiple times. But fir things like onions. I don't keep them inside for long and they don't grow fast. So smaller is fine.
That huge cell starter could come in handy for slow growing starts. I'm thinking of starting a bunch of thyme for ground cover this year. Hopefully you'll have the seed start thing soon.
Trifecta in with the seed starting mix??
What lights do you have in your grow room in this video?
Missing the t in starting.
I am trying to winter sowing in milk jugs for the first time! I'm starting geraniums from seed now.
