I've had problems in the past with gnats when growing seedlings indoors. This past spring I put a gifted sundew plant under the grow lights with my vegetable starts. Sundews are carnivorous plants. It grew happily and took care of the gnats!
Another thing you can do is add mosquito bits (BT/Bacillus thuringiensis) to the water you use for your seedlings. That plus the bug zapper works well for me.
This was a great video. I love that you state where you are located. That helps your viewers to adjust a bit for their own location . Your step-by-step guide is great. This video felt like it was made just for me and I'm sure many other people felt the same way. Thanks again from an old gardener in Tucson. Gary
Im so happy this channel exists because im in yuma, arizona and it is SO sunny and hot it is ridiculous. I always wodnered how one would garden in such a climate. But you opened my eyes to the delight of being able to garden year round here!
Its so hot here in texas, Im starting my fall seeds outside. Its nice not to have to set up the lights and such. Old farmers almanac you can put in your zip code for planting guides.
I've always found it so much more satisfying to harvest from a plant I started from seed. Also you get access to tons of varieties most nurseries don't carry. And much cheaper!!
I'm also in Mesa, and I'm wanting to learn how to garden. I started homeschooling my kids this year and we are very interested in growing our own veggies. I will be watching a ton of your videos to learn, thanks!
Thankyou Angela 40 degrees Celsius is extremely challenging weather for gardening. Thankyou for always finding a solution around these climatic conditions
Angela, I love this! I have your planting calendars and I love them. I also joined your group and can’t wait for my first training next week. Growing plants from seeds has been so healing for me since my 15 year old daughter passed away in Feb. Thank you so much! Finding you has been therapy for my soul. ❤
Yep, July was a hot one in the desert. However, we are able to garden so much more of the year here than in the Midwest. We start seeds in the garage with a $20 grow light. As you mentioned there is trouble around every corner, but very satisfying to see that little seed produce food! 😊
Love this video. Iam trying to master starting seeds. What about hardening off the seedlings. I go to work every day. How can I do harden off without stressing the seedlings?
th-cam.com/video/VGgc5UsxOMQ/w-d-xo.html This video can help. You may have to take them inside before you go to work - or try some time in the afternoon. You may be able to leave them out all day after the first day or two if the spot gets filtered morning sun.
I did this year just to see how the soil is this year for the front bed out side.Hi Angela how are you this year so far i just wanted to know Have you grown any Catnip I just ended up getting a cat that you.❤
Hi Angela What type of cherry tomatoes are you growing? I didn’t catch the name in your video. Where did you get the small tomato cages? Thank you for the video!
Golden Gypsy Dwarf Tomato, Chocolate Lightning Dwarf Tomato, Uluru Ochre Dwarf Tomato, Juane Flamme Dwarf Tomato and Rosella Purple Dwarf Tomato. Seeds from San Diego Seed Company. I got the small cages from Home Depot.
Great video. I’m heavily researching this lately and poof, you made a video. I’m in Tempe. Are the sets on Amazon with the two light bars built into the clear dome worthless? I fear that they won’t be bright enough. And the cells are quite small. I thought it might help me get a lot going fast, then I could pot up to solo cups or something like that. When do YOU start popping stuff like broccoli and kale into a bed? What temp are you looking for? Thanks!
I've had trouble growing foxglove in 9b and noticed that's one of the seeds you've started. The seed catalogs say it's a zone 8 plant. Do you have any tips for success?
@@GrowingInTheGarden Fabulous! I had looked on your TH-cam list but that was the wrong place. Hopefully I still have time to follow the steps before FF. Thank you!
Which is basically the 1/3 peat, 1/3 vermiculite & 1/3 a mixture of different types of compost. With a little azomite. Correct Angela for those of us who can not get to Az worm farms? 😊
Angela, you are the best.
I agree!

@@planty__t It's kinda embarrassing how many gnats ended up on my sundew. But it was very satisfying to stick it to them. Literally!☺

You're so welcome. Thanks for watching.
A professional flower grower I know has suggested putting seed starting trays in the fridge for awhile for certain cold weather plants.
Wow,you gave so good important tips about indoors gardening and I am very impressed with this information and thank you for this.

Very helpful. Thank you.

That's a good idea when I was a kid I took home Ed how to cook and clean and so on do that and gardening and stuff 😀 👍
Plenty of good gardeners on TH-cam. No one can match Angela for how to garden in Mesa. It’s like your getting this great advice from your neighbor.

So happy to have you. I hope you enjoy the classes. I'm so sorry for your loss and I hope you can continue to find healing.
My problem is not enough room. My laundry room is filled with plants. Challenging to do laundry. Lol
#priorities :)
I love those calendars, I'm 10b, wonder if they make them for my zone?
San Diego Seed Company makes a planting calendar that might be similar to yours.
You look great!
Thanks, Angela! I'm going to try to start seeds hydroponically and when they are big enough, transition them to dirt. Adventures in seed starting!
Thank you Angela!
I live in mesa too.😊

It's so true. I feel blessed to garden here.
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you!😊
Really enjoy your videos you know that you're 9B in Arizona and I'm 9B in Sacramento I'm guessing the only way to grow seeds is to start them indoors
Hi! There are some seeds that grow well started directly outside - a lot of the larger seeds (beans, squash, etc.) can be directly sown.
Can you do a video on what are good indoor plants and outdoor plants?
I’m in zone 9A in Las Vegas. Would your planting calendar work for me as well?
Dates are similar but not exact. The transition months of spring and fall you would need to pay attention to your temps instead of the dates.
Love this video. Iam trying to master starting seeds. What about hardening off the seedlings. I go to work every day. How can I do harden off without stressing the seedlings?

When should I discard seeds I've purchased online? Is the expiration date really important?

Have you grown any Catnip I just ended up getting a cat that you.❤
I haven't done catnip - but you can usually plant that in the fall.
@@GrowingInTheGarden ok so do you know where I can buy some to get started and when thank you so I can have threw the winter.?
@johnhorchler667 Botanical Interests sells seeds for catnip

@@GrowingInTheGarden Thank you, I have another question on one of your recent videos of Vermicomposting Tip. Do you start out with worms in the bins?
How u water ur seedling some times they fall
Angela, what are husk cherries? I saw them in you starters
growinginthegarden.com/how-to-grow-ground-cherries-10-tips-for-growing-ground-cherries/
Should all seeds be soaked before planting?
I don't soak any seeds before planting.
Great video. I’m heavily researching this lately and poof, you made a video. I’m in Tempe.

When those nighttime temps come down, and we get that shift to cooler temperatures is when I'll put out my cool season veggies.

What's your potting up soil recipe?
I use the raised bed mix from Arizona Worm Farm to pot up my seedlings.
Which is basically the 1/3 peat, 1/3 vermiculite & 1/3 a mixture of different types of compost. With a little azomite. Correct Angela for those of us who can not get to Az worm farms? 😊
