Getting seedlings off to a great start is an important step and transplanting them into bigger pots is key to making sure they have enough room to develop. Get it right and you'll have plenty of plants raring to go when the weather warms up and there's room in your garden.
In this short video, I demonstrate the best way to transplant seedlings and challenge myself to see how many I can transplant in a minute!

This is the first man I go to for advice through TH-cam. He’s never failed me once, very easy to understand and listen to. Keep up the great work!
That's very kind of you to say, and very much appreciated, thanks!
@@GrowVeg the pleasure is mine,iv been a follower from your early days. Can wait wait to see what you have coming for us all for the veg season. Take care buddy. Marco
He's definitely the best and his videos are not just informative but fun. He should have his own tv show.
100% agree. And if anyone is not using the garden planner- you should be.
Anyone else trust this guys garden advice more than anyone else? 😅 much love
This guy could sell me anything. Thankfully for society he didnt decide to become a used car sales person or work for a telemarketing scam company.
Serena like watching this guy but thstvtom plant only had two leaves and not a second set of true leaves when he translated it.
But hes full.of life and enjoyable to watch..
yeap only this guy and Charles downing i listen to
Wilson Huw Richards as well!
@@smarties6342 ah yes how can o forget him lol
Hi growveg, I’m 16 nearly 17 and I have 26 tomatoes growing in pots on my desk lol.
I am growing :
Indigo blue, Gardener’s Delight, Oxheart, Goldene Konigin, Moneymaker, Black Krim and Marmande.
@Cyclopse what varieties are you growing and good luck
@Cyclopse good choices by the way
@Cyclopse I watched the program Jamie at home as I am wanting to be a chef when I get older and the convince of grabbing fresh produce got me into gardening, what got you into gardening
Nice one guys - there are some cracking varieties there. Enjoy!
So comforting to watch people plant seedlings and with great music and accent to top it off :)
I planted seeds today in Tennessee. Lettuce, carrots, peas, radishes, & peppers. You must be somewhere warm! 👩🌾
It's not too cold here - still frosts at night, but not in the greenhouse.
You are the best gardening channel out there :) your kindness and genuine love for plants comes through. We are very blessed to have you. Thank you
That's very kind of you to say Simon - thank you so much for watching.
Hey! That seedling transplant challenge should also take into consideration whether the little thing lived after being beaten up.
I can confirm I've had a 100% success rate - they're all thriving. :-)
transplanting my first seedlings into their grow bags today. this vid was a fun & helpful find!
Glad it was helpful! :-)
I enjoy your enthusiasm and encouragement. LOVE your greenhouse!
Cheers Deb!
Your skillful and attentive handling of the delicate seedlings is quite attractive and teach new gardners many helpful points.Thank you indeed.
Thank you! This is the most detailed video I ever found about the actual details of transplanting seedlings. Super valuable information! ;-)
You're right about tomatoes loving the deeper planting for stability! I had tons of leggy tomatoes so I fearfully up-potted them and buried a good 75% of their stem. A few fell over and looked like they wouldn't make it but within a few hours they are all thriving and look like nice, sturdy little plants. Love your energy and positivity!
They do recover nicely don't they - even when battered by watering.
I hope this will work with my leggy looking lettuce and pak choi. Think I got too excited and planted them a bit early. The overcast weather of late hasn't been too helpful.
When I transplant my seedlings, I make the divot as soon as I've filled the cell pack with soil and BEFORE I separate the seedlings. I can get about 15-18 transplanted in a minute this way. Love your videos, Ben!
Top tip there Nancy - it seems obvious now you suggest it!
I'm just getting ready to transplant over 350 seedlings and feel a lot more confident after watching your video. When looking for gardening info, I like to search for them on your channel first because you explain things so well and your demonstrations are very helpful. Thank you so much!
So pleased you're ready to transplant Nancy - that's quite a haul of seedlings!
Love this video! Pricking out seedlings is my favourite gardening job. So therapeutic.
Isn't it!
You are so funny! I loved the seed planting challenge! Thanks for all your good tips. I feel like these videos just keep getting better & better!
Thanks so much, that means a lot!
Ben! Your new book has just arrived! It's brilliant! The Sky's The Limit and Crate Expectations has given me some great ideas on how I might transform our small roof terrace. *Everybody buy it now!* Haha.
Bless you Ollie, that's hugely appreciated!
Brilliant inspirational vid as always. And since I'm stuck in a condo, I'm quite jealous of your greenhouse.
I've never tried growing my own veg before but watching this inspired me.
So pleased to hear Matthew!
If there's a better garden youtube channel, I haven't seen it. I love how you capture me at 38 with a not patronising kids TV vibe. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much, that means a lot. :-)
great job....prepare the trays with the dowel holes before breaking up the seedlings, and you'll plant twice as many in one minute.
Just starting to grow veg and this channel is indispensable.
You're lucky. I had to learn with books after we bought our first home in the 90s. Not the same. A good video, where you can see a plant in all its stages, makes for faster learning. Best of luck with your garden.
My goodness I’ve only seen 2 videos so far but I can say this is the best gardening channel I have ever come across on TH-cam! I am so excited to watch and learn more!
Thanks so much Jennifer - that's really kind of you to say.
Ben is the man! I have learned so much during the time these videos are viewed. Also, learned little tricks and have used these techniques. Please continue these videos. Thank you so much. Appreciate your time.
Will do, and delighted the videos help. :-)
Love how simple and easy you explain gardening tips 💚💚
Love your stuff kick on love it
Clear instructions and not boring at all. Thank you so much for the video. Just what I needed!
Great video thank you for sharing 👍
Got the garden planner and I absolutely love it! I’m looking forward to putting my improvement recommendations in and seeing how the garden planning tool improves! :)
New to growing seed etc. So pleased i found this channel. What a great ideal to plant my seeds excited to get on now.thank you.
I subscribed after being so impressed with a number of comments that i read! If others feel that good about your love of plants and trust your care tips.......that is good enough for me!
Well a very warm welcome to the channel to you - and thank you so much for subscribing! :-)
The expert in gardening. Thank you. Please do more videos. 💖
I can't wait to sow my seeds and get pricking out I have brought some new trays this year !!
These videos are pure gold, I find myself revisiting your channel any time I need to do something with my plants. Thanks bro
So pleased to be able to help. :-)
Thanks Ben for another great video newbie gardens like me find your enthusiasm and knowledge to be of great benefit 👍
I love the time challenge part, will try this myself at some point. x 😅😅😅
Good luck with it!
Some of these tips SEEM obvious, but to the beginner - we might never have thought of them! Thank you for this video, super informative! Need to transplant some seedlings this bank holiday weekend, and am looking forward to them getting nice and strong thanks to your tips (if I adhere to them correctly 😂).
Thank you - I hope you have/have had a productive weekend. :-)
I love your greenhouse! Most people can't afford an all singing, all dancing, brand new, big set-up. There is a certain Heath Robinson charm about yours 👍
Thanks Joanne - it does the job!
Ben, your videos are a joy to watch as well as being filled with great advice! Thank you for your wonderfully contagious gardening enthusiasm!
Cheers Fran!
I truly learn from you Many thanks 😊
Thanks for watching. :-)
Thank you so much 🌻
Very useful tips. Thank you.
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Wonderful video, my friend, thanks for sharing this experience with us! Have a beautiful week!👍🎧😎
And you! :-)
I think the new style of video is much better.
Cheers Nathan - it's a work in progress for sure.
The greenhouse looks great. I have a small polytunnel at present and I will be looking to build something a little more sturdy soon. Great video again. Keep up the good work!
Great video as always!! Thanks!
Just came across your videos and I love them. Your energy is so positive and your videos are so engaging!!
Cheers Chris! :-)
Been watching 30 seconds and I like this guy already.....ok back to the plants.
Cheers so much! A very warm welcome to the channel! :-)
I’m just starting out with growing my own veggies in my concrete garden so mostly in pots.
Your videos have been so flippin helpful, I’m transplanting my first seedlings today! Thank you!
That's awesome to hear! I hope you have a very productive year. :-)
I just received your book can't wait to read!
Super cool and groovey as always - and Thanks
Outstanding advice, preparing to seed pansies and I'll definitely put your tips/tricks to work. Thank you!
Love your tips as always..
This is very helpful advice for first timers like me - will do my chilli and tomatoes in a few days . Many thanks 👍
Great advice mate :) My vegetable garden in Melbourne, Australia is thriving at the moment! I am obsessed haha. Started to grow seedlings inside for more succession planting. Love your channel, Thankyou x
Thanks for watching, it's appreciated. :)
Planting on sweet pepper and chillies tomorrow. This couldn't have come at a better time!
Great video, I learned something today, will be doing this soon.
I wish spring had sprung here. Still got about 2 feet of snow in some places.
Same here. Great Lakes region, USA.
Yep,same here. Alberta Canada. But the melt is on!🤩
Feel sorry for you guys, T shirt weather here on the South coast UK the last few days, still a bit chilly in the mornings but lots of seedlings breaking out. And the Daffodils are in bloom too :)
@@stuartmccloud307 not to feel sorry for us in Canada.....we have sunshine 😎 and blue skies pretty much every day.....
Great video! Thanks for the info
One of my most hated jobs!! 😃
Beautiful arrangement & Explanation !
Best transplant video out there.😊
Your new book arrived today, the first impressions are that it is well illustrated. I am looking forward to reading it.
Thanks David - I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you. Great presentation and such enthusiasm. Informative and very enjoyable.
Cheers Jon!
I use plug trays and transplant to bigger pots, i also dont move until true leaves r present. Love the greenhouse
I am in Australia and my tomato seeds are ready to transplant. This video is very helpful, so wish me luck tomorrow, when I start my task. I love the idea of getting everything ready before you start.
Well done Sue - you're doing great. Best of luck transplanting them tomorrow, but I'm sure you'll ace it!
Great video!
Great info. Thank you!
Wonderful! Thank you.
Top video. Always enjoy them. I use the garden planner also as a guide to help in sow dates and in planning.
Cheers David. So pleased you find the Garden Planner handy.
I'm in zone 5 Canada and only use the winter sowing method no grow lights. I'm actually still planting out seeds. Great advice about how to handle the seedlings by the leaves, I've always struggled with this part. Thanks.
Do you grow tomatoes,peppers and eggplants this way? Does it work? I’m in zone 5 Canada too.
You're very interesting and easy to watch. I learned a lot, thank you.
Thank you so much - so pleased you're enjoying the videos. :-)
Nice tips Ben Thankyou
I got 1 1/2. 🌱 But we had a lovely chat during the process and I assured them they were beautiful and perfect. 😂
Sounds like a good result then!
Hmmm..my seed is not good. It takes time to sprout. But I dont give up....I still work on it. I will wait your next video. Wonder...could you grow a marygold flower 😍✌️
Try germinating them indoors where the temperature is more steady.
You chose to share good knowledge and that's good karma.
Excellent video editing too.
Cheers Bob!
Hi Ben, great tip about putting the compost into a lidded plastic container, I will be doing that when I start transplanting. All a bit up in the air at the moment, no greenhouse and raised veggie bed dismantled whilst studio is being built. Only a couple of weeks to go and I should be able to get it up and running again.
Brilliant - you must be so excited about getting up and running. There's so much that can be started in late spring, so it's a great time to get stuck back in.
Another great informative video, ty
I worked in a nursery and Seeded 100 trays a day and transplanted 2000 plants a day.
I used to work in a nursery too. Spent many, many days transplanting seedlings!
you could use the lid as a tray for separating the seedlings.
Yes, absolutely, that could work.
🌱🌿😍ENJOYED😍🌿🌱
You have this BBC documentary-host vibe over you
Good advice, I keep on cleaning my tools and hands, one plant can also carry sick ess to others that could even have started in the seed .
Very true. Good hygiene always worth the effort to avoid passing on disease.
i could do 7 in one minute ,i am a beginner and you helped me through it i am so gratefull thanks
Seven in a minute is pretty good - well done!
Fabulous video. As I do not have a greenhouse and the ambient moisture one provides, there are two things I do differently: 1.) Looking toward separating seedlings, I sow the seeds somewhat more sparsely to begin with and wait for the first set of true leaves to pot them up into larger cells or containers. 2.) I remove them from the original container on top of a plastic sheet and separate them out onto that sheet and cover them with a second sheet of plastic. This keeps my seedling and especially their roots from drying out. I can gradually turn back the top sheet of plastic as I progress through completing my task of potting up.
Love the idea of the plastic sheets - so simple yet such a good idea!
Nice sharing
Excellent videos, clear and concise. Subscribed. Got a small terrace house here with a tiny greenhouse and love growing my own food. Got a few fruit trees that were planted 4-5 years ago and Raspberries and Rhubarb. In a 1.2m x 2.4m patch.
Growing your own food's the best! Thanks very much for the sub!
Many thanks
Ben you are so efficient with your 1 minute time challenge - I haven't got the room in my poly tunnel for a table and chair, so my back aches bending over on the bench! This year i didn't put anything straight in the ground and i think growing from seed in the tunnel has been far better! Thanks.
That's great to hear Janice. I hope you have a really productive growing season!
Good stuff.
Oh, one day I'll have a greenhouse too 🙏
Hi Ben, Great video i have a few things that need transplanting now, looking forward to getting things out stay safe
I love transplanting - it's great mindfulness!
@@GrowVeghi Ben thanks for the reply, I managed to get abit done over the weekend stil a lot to go. Wil be getting the cover on the polytunnel this week hopefully so I can start to get things out soon, Stay safe 👍 🏴
your challenge sounds fun but I only have 2 out of 4 plants growing so I have to wait to see how many transplants in one minute later Brena
I loved your presentation! I also like your glasses. However, last time I checked, the spring equinox was March 20, so spring hasn't sprung, unless it's somehow different in England... You people seem to like doing your own thing ;-)
Quite right - not quite. But we've had the odd spring day here, so we're almost there - getting ahead of myself clearly!
The more gardening videos i watch the more I realise that I only actually need the growveg channel. Lmao literally had everything about everything and why and how and when. If that makes sense
This is so lovely to read, thank you! :-)
I'm just in the process of building my own greenhouse (with reclaimed and bought materials), but some lettuce I had starting on our kitchen window sill were looking a bit pail so I pricked some out today using your advice. I'm not too fussed if they don't make it (I'm still very early in the learning stages), but I'm very excited to get my greenhouse built so I can dedicate more space to raising seedlings and getting a better start to my garden.
Nice on on building your own greenhouse - it will make such a difference. :-)
I will try the challenge once anything grows!
nice effort
100 seedlings!! in a minute...we're talking dropped on the floor and accidentally stood on....right? 🤦♂😁 Honestly - 6 👀. Great work as always Ben - no one provides information in a fun and inciteful way as you do. 👍 Love the website too.
Thanks so much Scott. Happy gardening!
