I'm pleased to seeing so many likes before the broadcast started "We know this Teacher is great 👍 " Yeah!
Thanks John, appreciate it!! :-)
Great tutorial thanks for sharing!
I love that I grow all of what's on this list and use them for cooking. I'm finding that having these on hand feels very satisfying when added to a meal. Thanks for the knowledge!
Exactly Jim. That's the beauty of growing them indoors on shorter cycles too...you ALWAYS have fresh stuff available! 🙂
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I'm somehow sure you've done it before, but maybe a video (or update) about basic growing indoors for cooking? I started with growing a few spices, but also now do spring onions, tiny Tim's, and garlic. I constantly harvest, and replant them when needed. Your content has definitely inspired and helped get it right. I find i don't want to overdo it because of time and have to make choices about is right to have on hand. Even that part is fun and interesting, but im sure different for everyone. Thx again and keep up the great work. 👍
I love the tip about the paper towel! Thanks so much!
Thanks Beth...it really does work! Especially for shallow-sown crops. 🙂
You picked my wife's top favorites! Looks like we'll be planting this weekend. Great videos
Ha ha great minds......
Watching the whole video now. It's bound to be another good one. Yours is the only gardening channel I subscribe to - I love the fact that you are so knowledgeable and good at explaining what you're doing. Many thanks 🌞
Thanks so much Sharon, that means a lot! 🙂
Wow, I did not know chives would do well as an indoor herb crop. Thank you for this, I am learning so much from you! 💖
They really do Sandy. Quick to sprout and multiple harvests! Love them!
Thanks from the Yukon! Great instruction and I especially like the Rider toque.
Yay, 5 of my favs!! 🎉
Your homemade plant boxes were the best thing for me, they're basically free.
Thank you for the once again, amazing post...🌱♥️
Cheers, thanks so much for watching! 🙂
I do something similar for herb germination, except I use single ply toilet paper or tissue instead of a paper towel. When the seeds germinate, they break right through the paper, which breaks down into the top layer of soil. That way I don't have to worry about removing the paper towel.
Awesome, I am totally going to try that! Then just leave the single ply in place like a mulch.....love it!
Great idea!
I loved this video. I keep learning new things. Like the fact that you can start a new plant from basil cuttings. I will definitely try that.
Thanks for watching JS!
Very informative ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much Jeff! I am planning for my first year of gardening and as it's still winter I'll try growing herbs. Planting basil, dill and chives next week, need to get the soil first :)
Right on! Starting to see soil and other goodies at the big box stores....so spring is definitely on its way!
YAY MY 2nd Fav season is back ! great video
Thanks so much!!!
Always enjoy your info videos interesting and helpful!
Thanks for sharing always!👍
Cheers dale, thanks so much for watching!
Great information! Thank you
Cheers Carole, thanks for watching! 🙂
We started canning salsa this is something I need
Right on John!!! Let me know how it turns out. I could eat salsa every day!!
Thanks for sharing this video with us. 👍
Cheers Randy, and thank you for taking the time watch! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I enjoyed it. Thanks again.
I love Basil. I’m looking forward to planting here and that I moved to Fort Myers. It’s been pretty cold surprisingly here so I’m gonna have to start indoors and then move things outdoors when the weather is more consistently warm. Thanks 🙏🏾 for sharing 💕
Basil is the BEST. I can literally eat pesto on anything.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thanks, I just learned that I’m in zone 10A. Is it true I cannot plant tomatoes because I need pollination and I’m only working in a closed in Lanai for planting?
@@2075vj Hi. I'm Zone 10a San Diego. We can grow tomatoes as well as Tomatillos. I'm starting my seeds next month. Good luck to you
@@cheritrevino8478 Thank you. I’m looking forward to it. Can I grow tomatoes in an enclosed area in my yard? No bees you’ll be able to come in.
Congratulations on your move! I'm on the east coast of Florida on the border between 10a & 10b. Year round gardening! You can pollinate your tomato blossoms with a tiny, soft paintbrush. Ialso pollinate Key Lime & Persian Lime blossoms this way. Good Luck with your gardening this year. Remember to dbl-ck the different planting times for down here! Potatoes won't produce tubers here after the ground temperature hit 8⁹⁷
Mm ļø
I’m thinking of cleaning my shed and use it as greenhouse! I’m tired of all my herbs dying from too hot weather and too cold weather. Maybe add a light fixture so I can see what I’m doing 😊👍 cuz I like doing things at night also, thank you Jeff this is perfect indoor plant ideas for me! 👍👩🌾😊♥️ oh yes I can imagine doing all my plants there 😊
That's a great idea Emy! Any way to install glass in the roof for more light?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms it has like an open skylight but it’s cloudy from sun and rain, made of plastic so I think maybe run an electric like extension cord outdoor and just have a switch on and off or use all my Christmas lights 😂😂😂 as a source for heat. Great ideas?
I like that paper towel idea!
It really does work Sonya! :-)
Ahh love the herb vids
Thanks! I love that from seed to harvest the time is sooo short!
Nice one! I should really start some herbs indoors 😋
I’m in the same area as you and I can back you up on the cold hardiness of cilantro. I had some growing in the fall outside a few years ago and it made it through the whole winter, snow and all! Wouldn’t have thought it would make it with those soft stems
Thanks! 👍
That's amazing! I have a few really sheltered spots where I should try that!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I don’t remember exactly when it sprouted, it was a while ago now. I remember I had bought a little pot of cilantro and I never got around to planting them. They of course went to seed so I just decided to bury the whole small plant in one of my raised beds 😝 Then it all sprouted late in the season very densely and made it through the winter. Some type of cover like a milk jug or something probably would have been perfect to keep it clean from the splashing rain on the soil.
I watched your video on starting Dill indoors..I've done that and its thriving beautifully but its in seed starter mix in the container. Should I break it apart and pot it up individually in other planters?
Greetings 🍃 Waiting for my Rosemary seeds to pop up in our south facing kitchen window 🪟 I have sprouted Chamomile; Parsley (Curly & Italian flat leaf) outside in amall garden house starters. And WoW, I Love Arugula! I agree it is an herb. From Long Beach ⛱️ Cali Zone 10b
Oh wow, I've never actually attempted Rosemary from seeds....I wonder if they take a long time to sprout?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms they do and it us very hard to do! Hopefully it works 😃
Question: I’m starting seeds indoors for the first time (south central Texas zone 8b). Do I need a heat mat and lights or will a heat mat be enough?
Love 1-4 and I do grow them indoors. 5 is a no go for me, I'm in the soap camp.
Ha ha noooooo.....not the soap! I would switch to maybe Oregano, it does surprisingly well indoors.
Is Rosemary a good choice for indoor growing? If so, are there any special considerations for best production?
please help !! i love rosemary and basil I live in a condo and i don't get much sunlight . do i need a grow lamp?
Thanks for this fantastic video, Jeff. How does parsley do indoors? While I've germinated parsley indoors, I've never grown it indoors.
Hey thanks! Parsley grows just like Cilantro...super easy and super fast!
Love this video. Great infor. And loved how you illustrated a newbie like me watching my seedlings and watering them constantly! Im guilty, lol. Question, so I transplanted my cilantro in a pot that does not have drain holes in it. Can I transplant them again without killing the seedlings? They were already kind of weak as they were getting leggy, and only 2 or 3 were starting to get their true leaf. Please give some guidance on this.. Thank you in advance!
I think you can Kin if you can move the entire soil profile as a block without disturbing the plants. That way, they won't even know they've been transplanted. Cilantro also does grow fast enough that you COULD get away with no drainage and careful watering.....
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thanks so much for the reply! I appreciate the guidance!👍🏽
@@kinb2318 no problem! Let us know how the process goes! Good or bad!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms ok, will do. Thank you!🙂
Best video ever! Q. Do you use sterile indoor soil for this?
Thanks so much Debie! For sure on the sterile soil....indoors the baddies just go wild. I love my soil microorganisms.....just too hard to balance them indoors.
Did I miss it in the description? Where did you find those awesome indoor-herb-style wood containers, please??
Oh hey Jeff.....I actually built them out of cedar fence boards! I have dozens of them everywhere!!!
I was harvesting cilantro wrong, it kept dying on me. Thanks for showing the correct way.
Right on... Hopefully you'll be blessed with multiple harvests now!
What is your remedy for septorial disease on my flat leaf parsley and will it survive in a vermicomposting compost bin?
Mostly just airflow Shirley. A peroxide spray can work sometimes as well.....
I had no idea we can grow arugala indoors! Thank you! How do I start?
Oh for sure! It gets planted exactly like cilantro.... About half an inch deep, pretty densely. Keep moist and warm and it'll sprout within a week. Give it as much light as possible and don't over water. Harvest when there's at least 2-3 sets of true leaves.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Yes, thank you. I understood this from the video. What I meant is . . . what variety of arugula seeds do I look for? Yours shown here have round-shaped leaves whereas those I've found online are pointed.
@@MHPloni-kl5ec the baby leaves are round.... They turn pointy as they get older.... At least with this variety they do
Great video! How do I harvest the dill? Like the cilantro, leaf by leaf?
Yes, leaf by leaf. It does branch a bit more so you can take the top shoot and the stem can still live.....but I sow mine in groups so if I lose a stem or two, I hardly notice. Cheers!
"Too much thyme on my hands" ! 😂
Heh heh......
The easiest would actually be mint. They are like a pest for plants.
So true! Basil and Thyme are actually IN the mint family!
Why do you water the herbs from above and under?
Under when first planted so you don't blast the seeds everywhere. But you can always water from underneath or wicking-style....its actually a great way to water plants.
I have searched all over youtube for a video on how to grow watermelon and I can't find any helpful videos. I was wondering if you knew how to grow watermelon? If so please give me a summary on how to grow them.
Why didn't he just pick one of the fruits in the bowl on the table???🤷🏽♀️😂😂
It begins with an “H” you pronounce it Herb….not Erb. 😊
eeeeeerrrrrrb. :-)
Many gardening channels are kind of click bait style, too verbose, a waste of time. NOT THIS ONE. Pay attention to this channel and you might learn something.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHerbs
Herbs? Not urbs. There is an h in the word and us brits use it! ♥️🏴
k
How do you pronounce Herbie? is it 'Erbie'? No there is an H there! It's .....HHHHerbs, not "erbs"
If I pronounce the H, the Europeans roast me alive.....if I don't say the H, the Americans get all spazzy.....I wish Canada came up with a neutral solution!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Eh-rbs
Jesus is Alive he loved us all you heard loud voice that you couldn't see get white and look up the heaven
'get white' no, don't do drugs kids
please for the love of god pronouce the H in herbs
I thought pronounced H was for a Guys name Herbert,😊🌿🌱🌿🪴🌼
