Here in Tallahassee, I have been setting up my seed starting space and organizing my supplies. I usually target Valentine'sDay to plant tomatoes, peppers, squash and flower seeds. I enjoy trying new varieties to add to my favorites each year. New varieties for me this year include: Cherokee Carbon, Braveheart, Mountain Merit, BHN 871 Gold, and Jelly Bean tomatoes; Red Knight, Yum Yum, Flavorburst F1 peppers; and, Dunji F1 and Butterfingers F1 squash. Being a Gator, if you would get rid of that Dog bucket, your garden would grow a lot better.... Take care and be safe...
im about a month out from starting my main stuff. Just picked up my onion transplants. Growing lettuces under lights in the house has been great through the winter.
My last round of brassicas is under the lights a couple weeks from going out. I am starting all my nightshades today. I up pot from seed starting trays, to beer cups, to 1 gallon fabric pots.
Just want to say that I have just discovered your channel and I absolutely love your content. It’s quite helpful to me! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.
I’m a little over a month away from transplanting cool season veggies, and direct sowing root crops in the ground, north central Alabama, zone 7A. I have seedlings sprouted for Calabrese Broccoli, All Seasons Cabbage, Self-Blanching Cauliflower, Burgundy Onions, Yellow Potato Onions, and Jolene Tomatoes. On my heat mat, I have seeds germinating for Big Red bell peppers, Hungarian Yellow Wax peppers, Sweet Banana peppers, Lunchbox Orange peppers, Lipstick peppers, Coronas di Toro peppers, and basil. To complete round two, I need to sow seed starts for oregano, marjoram, dill, and cilantro. Round three will be leafy greens and flowers, Tokyo Bekana Mustard, Pak Choi, Romaine lettuce, assorted mixed leaf lettuces, Fordhook Swiss Chard, marigolds, Amaranth, Alyssum, butterfly weed, butterfly flower, cosmos, zinnias, and bachelor button. About the time they are ready to go into the ground, it will be time to start transplanting, and direst sow seeds for Danvers carrots, golden beets, turnips, parsnips, radish, snow peas, and shelling peas. I just harvested parsnips and carrots, ending my 2024 garden.
I'm North of Tampa... I still have Seminole Pumpkins growing away...And we've had multiple freezes this year. I looked out the other day and cracked up, their just happy as clams!
I just started some seedlings indoors. I started some parsley, I will be starting some hot peppers and tomatoes soon! It’s such a rewarding way to watch your garden grow from its very first stages. Can’t wait for Spring! ❤🌱
I have the worst kind of planting fever! Can hardly wait to get my taters in the ground, plant some English peas, start some tomato and pepper transplants.
Where I use to live, Charleston, SC, was pretty much the same zone and weather as you have. I have recently moved to Aiken, SC, not far from Augusta, GA. It sure is an adjustment for me, especially seeing how it seems we are having one of the coldest winters ever. Another snow appears to be on the way, ugh. I already know the 3 fig trees I want to buy from you when they go on preorder. So many raised beds to build and fruit trees to plant in the next few months.
@@LazyDogFarmI can testify, that is the best way to get seeds going. I switched to that last year and my germination rate skyrocketed. Even hard stuff to get going like Celery worked awesome.
In south FL, weather is all over the place. Days are 60-73, with nights 40-59. My plants and trees are in a state of confusion and so am I. I started my tomatoes and peppers on heat mats last week but am unsure of when yo plant my beans. I believe we need soil temps to be consistently warmer since they are to be direct sowed. Thanks for your wisdom!
We'll be sure to do a video when we start seeds (probably mid Feb) and then when we put the transplants in the ground. We also have lots of good watermelons on the channel. There should be a watermelon playlist.
We'll be direct seeding squash. No plans to do more t-shirts at the moment. We did them when we first launched the website, but they didn't sell that well.
Wow, you brought up this topic at just the right time when I was thinking about direct sowing seeds in January. Can you let me know if kale and spinach seeds will germinate if I direct sow them? If necessary, I can install a floating low cover. In the high desert of California, for the next 2 weeks, nighttime minimum temperatures usually range from 30-39°F, while daytime maximum temperatures range from 44-59°F.
@@LazyDogFarm If I transplant spinach after germinating indoors, I’m concerned that the sudden change in environment might kill the baby spinach. Also, we need to plant a large area, more than 5,000 sq ft. These reasons have led me to consider direct sowing. Is there a method to transplant them successfully and easily?
By the way, I heard that kale is more cold-hardy than spinach. If spinach can germinate, then I guess there’s a higher chance for kale to germinate as well.
@@moonheecho3654always harden off your stuff. You'll be fine. I'm in western WA and that's our temps most of February and March and last year I got my cold weather stuff out 8 weeks before my last frost and they did awesome. I started indoors 16 weeks before. It's just about slowly getting them out over a week or two. You will be fine.
Could you tell me a little more about hardening off? Also, is there an easier way to transplant them? I think it will take a lot of time to make holes in the ground and plant them.
Have been missing your videos. Have not been popping up. Hope you have been doing good. Think we are going to do a decent garden this year

Hi, Do you direct sow your seeds or transplant?
The Cherokee Carbon is our #1 fave here in OK. It takes heat really well and out performs Cherokee purple all year long.
8A Here in Sandhills of NC. I'm thinking three weeks before I start my outdoor plants.

I'm spring cleaning the house early this year so I can get at it in the garden early this year.

Hi Travis, When you say you will plant your tomatoes and peppers, are you saying you transplant them in February?

I already know the 3 fig trees I want to buy from you when they go on preorder. So many raised beds to build and fruit trees to plant in the next few months.
so after you dropped the seeds in, you just use perilite to cover the holes ? did you use any dirt to cover ?
Just the perlite.

I see yall might get snow next week
when will you do a video of planting watermelon?
We'll be sure to do a video when we start seeds (probably mid Feb) and then when we put the transplants in the ground. We also have lots of good watermelons on the channel. There should be a watermelon playlist.
We are a few days ahead of this video
Looking at snow here in south ga. next week
Do we need any extra precautions besides heating mates.
What about your squash this year? And when are you going to have fig shirt's on the website for sale?
We'll be direct seeding squash. No plans to do more t-shirts at the moment. We did them when we first launched the website, but they didn't sell that well.

Spinach might germinate, although it might take a while. Not sure about the kale. I'd start it inside if possible.
