Yrs ago I used to buy starts at nursery, but they never thrived. I now grow every thing from seed or cuttings! Plants end up being much heathier and very productive.
The one thing I have noticed that no one talks about is which plants will do good in a more shallow raised bed and which plants need a deeper 12"+ deep raised bed. As a newbie I feel this would be very helpful. I am 66 years old so everything is going in some type of container or raised bed. I can not handle a tiller or all the weeding required for in ground gardening. I am retired now so I have time to start gardening.
I’m growing my own vegetables no more buying paying $$$$! And when cucumbers are costing $1.25 EACH! It’s going to be a good year because I have pots of vegetables everywhere in my suburban garden. Thank you you for sharing your knowledge.🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
04:22 Basil. It gets just cold enough where I live that the basil doesn't survive outside, but what it does do every year is make SO MANY SEEDS! I rub the stalks to loosen the seeds. I sprinkle most of the seeds onto the soil and lightly rub in; the rest I take in the house in case I should have to plant them in the very unlikely event that I don't get any basil sprouts the following spring. They always do, though. 💚Basil!
I admit that I bought a sweet mint at a nursery 2 years ago, but I’ll never have to buy another one ! If everything I planted grew like that mint has I would be a happy gardener !😂
Most leafy lettuces I know are cut-and-come-again that you can cut an inch or so above the stem and get 2-3 total harvests from. (By the 4th cycle, they pretty much go straight to seed.)
I never knew I can grow basil from stem... I always buy basil pot from store to make pesto... one still sitting on my kitchen counter 😅. We learn something new every day
I’m starting 3 kinds of tomatoes and peppers from seed for the first time. I’ve only been growing veg for 3 years and am loving it. I also have several rosemary, basil and mint sprigs in water as I write this. I always buy herbs from the grocery store in March/April then separate it into sprigs and either transplant or reroot and transplant. I love your videos, sooooo much shared knowledge thank you Singh very much!
We bought 4 lettuce plants 5 years ago and grew them in our deck planters. But instead of harvesting the whole plant we only took the outside leaves. They eventually sent up flowers, seeded out, and repopulated themselves. We've done this over and over for 5 years...
@@mrsmc2612 I let my lettuce plants go to seed in late fall, around mid to late march next year there are new lettuce volunteer plant popping up around the garden.
I am an experienced gardener, but I still like to buy certain seedlings, one is simply to support small business nurseries. Two is to fill in the extra gaps in the garden, usually I have germinated all I want to grow and there are extra growing spaces that need to be filled, I don't mind buying something to grow in the free space for fun. Thee, certain plants have a long seedling stage and I rather pay to save my own time, celery is main one. Others plants I buy are kohlrabi, egg plant, bell pepper, cucumber. I do germinate my own bell pepper and cucumber seeds, but I don't mind picking up an extra 6pack of hybrid variety if available, as long as they are affordable.
Thank you for this very useful video and all the videos you provide! Your vegetables are beautiful and I love all your tips on gardening. Always looking forward to learning from you. God bless you!
We plant a seed and it has the inner intelligence to sprout out of the ground a few days later and grow into big cucumbers or a green or an herb. Witnessing those miracles bring me joy! I'm out there everyday checking my "babies". (Thanks for the cilantro tip on crushing the seeds - mine haven't germinated after planting a couple of weeks ago.) Thank you for sharing your mastery of gardening, Jag!👏🙏
Thanks! I already have a garden to plant out sitting on the kitchen table beside the window. Started the beans 7 days ago and they are already a foot high. Now I need to warm the soil in the bed they will grow in and make a cover for them. Same with the brassicas and the lettuce. They are growing like weeds and have to go out. But that's ok. Easy fix. I enjoy your show.
Where im at the seedlings for veggies are like $5 and herbs are more than that. So happy i decided to grow my veggies from seed. Havent had as much luck with herbs and flowers, but im still trying.😂
Bonnie plants are so beautiful and come clear from Alabama. They won’t be available after it turns hot. I agree on all especially that it’s better to but tomatoes, peppers and eggplants already sprouted and as seedlings.
Agreed 💯 % on everything.I have mints different types of basil all year round. My mints yes becareful where you put your mint it's very invasive herb. I pulled it out constantly becuase I wanted mint so bad lol grew 3 spots and it spreed like there's no tomorrow. I only bought from Walmart once now I have herbs all year round I keep it pruned during the summer(phx heat). So when fall approache it will be lushy. I only keep 1 busch of my mint.
I found that starting seedlings inside would yield leggy little things, even with my grow light. What has helped is finding an area outside to let the seedlings go in full sun, and I just bring them back inside when the weather gets too cold or rainy. I buy bare root shrubs/trees, it would take years of work to get where they are, and I like having an improved variety. This year I'm starting a few annual flowers, beans, and squash from seeds.
Can confirm with the squash and zucc plants, i looked this video up after i had already started my seedlings and the zucc and squash plants are killing it
I am anti-Bonnie plants, they tend to be extremely expensive, pumped with synthetics, root bound and usually peter out very quickly. I feel like they pump with so much to make them look good, and they look beautiful, HOWEVER my experience is that they just bust so quickly. They tend to bloom too soon and are a huge let down for beginners. So if you’re a beginner please don’t let failure from Bonnie plants discourage you. I’m sure there are some success stories this is my personal experience and opinion.
I always grow tomatoes from seeds. I once bought a variety pack of seeds and now just take the seeds from last year for the next. They grow on the window sill for a few weeks then go outside in May.
Instead of buying Bonnie seedlings at the big box store, check your local farmer's and flea markets. You can usually find local growers with multicell packs selling them for cheaper than a Bonnie pot. I bought a 4 cell tray of tomatos and a 4 cell tray of chilis and it only cost me $5 at the local flea market. If nothing else check your local nursuries, you're still likely to come out way cheaper.
When I start plants from seeds like herbs in pots the growth seems stunted. Maybe I'm using the wrong soil? What is the best soil to use for pots? Thank you for all your great videos. They are soo helpful! I'm in zone 9b.
thanks for another great video. The only exception for me personally is growing peppermint from seed. Never been able to do it.Ended up getting a plant i propogate when i need another plant :D. Pretty much agree with everything else. On the other hand, any chance on making a video on plants which are better to buy as seedlings vs growing from seed?.
I always buy a basil pot from the store, harvest the leaves and then separate the individual plants . Way faster than growing from seed + get 20 plants from one 4$ pot .
Sometimes it’s necessary to buy certain plants from a grower but yes almost all the plants shown here are possible from cuttings or seeds. I could not grow holy basil and will be buying from someone selling on facebook marketplace or I like Thai basil which never propagated despite all attempts. The best thing I ever witnessed was fining a black chick pea (kaala chana) planted pot having may be a dozen plants in a Calgary greenhouse selling for C$10 This year I am trying tinda and other Pakistan summer squash (looking for doodhi lauki seeds from India as well) Calgary, Alberta Canada zone 3-4
@@springbeauty4330 I tried to grow cuttings from store bought pack but failed always. Going to bring some seeds from California or will be checking facebook market place. It’s not wildly used in Pakistani cuisine though.
My grandma planted mint in our garden and I am still pulling up the runners for that. I can't think of enough recipes to use it fast enough. Rookie mistake to not plant it in a container.
I have decided from now on plant all the seeds of the plants I buy, most will not grow but chances some will. Cross my finger for lots of vegetables and fruits for free.
Hi Jag my wife loves your videos her Spinach plants are full of seeds from all the rain we've had but we're having problems with the Grasshoppers now what is the best way to get rid of them because I don't like chemicals because we have cats running around here they go after the lizards plus the black racer snakes do you have any idea what to do
I garden on a tiny apartment patio. If you have space for only 1 or 2 plants, you might as well buy the transplant because buying seeds you won't use doesn't save you money.
I planted basil and parsely seeds, and one arbitrary plant is growing in the basil. How can i know what it it is, could i possibly send a picture of it to you to identify?
I have 2 questions: 1/Could you tell me how to make the plants from seedling look so healthy with strong stem like Bonnie brand? I used seedling start soil for all my seedlings, my plants look healthy, but not as big, strong stems like Bonnie plants when they’re about 3-4 inches tall. 2/ How can I make new plants have the root wrap around the soil tightly which can shape the small pot? No matter how hard I tried, my new plants NEVER had root wrapped outside the soil. Instead they were inside the soil and they separated when I transferred to the ground
I grow everything from seed. However, this year, i got a bad fungus gnat infestation and lost just about all my tomato & eggplant seedlings to dampining off. I had to suck it up and go buy from the store 😢
Just to be honest with you I just paid $10 for seed. I have seed coming for five different type of melon and it was $20 sir. It's not always cheaper, not that I have found.
I disagree with okra. It's easy to germinate BUT if you do not live in a hot climate it's not worth the trouble. I live in western WA and love okra but it's never worth the small amount I get every year.
Also, I live in Florida, just south of the sun itself. I really want to grow things like lettuce, for example, but the heat here is insane. Aside from growing my food indoors (I have cats who do not understand boundaries), is there anything I can do to prevent plant heatstroke?
@jenniferandersson2976 If you plant outside, keep them well watered... more than likely everyday and try to offer some afternoon shade. Invest in some shade cloth to cover them or bring them in when the sun us unbearable. Also, look into "summer crisp lettuce" they are bred to withstand heat.
Which plants do you usually buy and which ones you don't?
Yrs ago I used to buy starts at nursery, but they never thrived.
I now grow every thing from seed or cuttings!
Plants end up being much heathier and very productive.
I only buy mint and cucumbers from a nursery if my seeds failed to transplant.
Also, mint and other herbs are container plants only.
I buy bell pepper and tomato plants. I don’t buy cilantro plants, and I have bad luck getting results from seeds too…
Perennial flowering plants, bushes and trees. I got runners off my forsythia bush and I transplanted them and lined my whole driveway with them.
The one thing I have noticed that no one talks about is which plants will do good in a more shallow raised bed and which plants need a deeper 12"+ deep raised bed. As a newbie I feel this would be very helpful. I am 66 years old so everything is going in some type of container or raised bed.
