I love the fantastic detailed information you put into part one and part two videos....... stuff you just don't normally hear. Thank you very much because this is what helps people have success.
I don't have a garden but I have a big balcony and I grow a lot of herbs. Not only herbs everybody knows but also special ones like Chinese Toona and Korean Perilla. I also have Kaffir Lime plants. I have learned so much from you in the video's. And want to thank you for that. All the best and greetings from The Netherlands.
Amazing information, THANK You! So much for taking the time and sharing your videos…I took notes and will let you know of my success later:) Thank you also for keeping information SIMPLE so I’m not discouraged before I start. Do you have any tips on roses?
Putting these two videos together was a lot of work, thank you. A lot of great information. I am wondering when I can cut some dormant forsythia branches to bring inside, what would you suggest in my Ontario zone 5.
Hi Robert, I have a problem with plants that are stunned. For instance I have 2 tropical hibiscus that I moved, they have no leaves, but if I scrap the bark, it is very green. They have been this way for 6 months. Do you have any suggestions to breaking this dormancy? Wil using gibberellic acid do it, and at what strength?
Three questions, 1) what do you do about the white fluffy mold when using the baggy method? 2) why use paper towl at all and not just moist baggy? 3) any tips on passiflora seeds? Thanks for the informative videos. I just finished part 1 and 2 from start to finish.
If my seeds get mouldy, I take them out, lightly rinse them and use fresh paper. I give the paper a good squeeze so that it's damp and not wet. BTW, I use newspaper, not paper towel
Can you help me identify a tree I see when walking my dog please. It is a mature tree but only around 20 to 25 feet tall but the unique thing about it is... at the end of each brown branch the tip splits off into two pointy green tips, like skinny devil horns.... at least that is what it looks like at this time of year in NJ in zone 7a. And it is deciduous... so has no leaves right now. I've lived here 40 years and never have seen another tree like it... just noticed it this year for the first time.

What is the best method for germinating seeds I saved from home grown persimmons (ichi-something) I tried but no luck. My hot pepper seeds just started germinating after 7 days.
Best, most comprehensive gardening videos on TH-cam!

Thank you for making this very informative video! I am in the process of starting native perennials from seed and this is SO HELPFUL.

34:35 *🌱 Leggy seedlings are often a result of insufficient light, while damping off, a fungal disease, can be prevented with proper air circulation and cinnamon as a natural remedy.*
36:56 *🌱 Thinning out overcrowded seedlings promotes healthier growth, and hardening off prepares seedlings for outdoor conditions by acclimating them to sunlight, wind, and temperature changes.*
39:21 *🌿 Harden off seedlings gradually by exposing them to outdoor conditions like light, wind, and temperature changes over about a week before transplanting them into the garden.*
40:43 *🌿 Sink seedling pots into the soil to reduce watering frequency and maintain cooler soil temperatures, promoting healthier root growth.*
41:52 *🌿 Grow seedlings in nursery beds or larger pots until they reach a suitable size for transplanting into the garden, dividing or repotting them as needed.*
42:47 *🌿 Gradually transition seedlings from the peat-based starting mix to garden soil by mixing the soils during repotting, acclimating them to the garden environment.*

No thumbs up available to click on. Watched Part 1 and no thumbs up on that on either.
