I’m a beginner gardener in zone 7. I’ve ordered a planting tower but haven’t yet started seeds, etc. Am I too late? Please tell me what basics you recommend for someone just starting to grow food. Trays, seeds, etc. Thank you so much for the informative video. I’ll check out your store once I have an idea of a “starter kit”. Thank you again!
Vermiculite has asbestos in it, it's not allowed to even be sold here in Canada now...too many gardeners have contracted cancer from thier garden use of it.
Thanks James! I save the parts I’ve sifted out of my potting mix in a big tub in my potting shed. I grow a fair amount in containers and it’s fine for putting in the bottom of larger containers as the season progresses. Then I’m not wasting any!
How come we don't see these everywhere? This makes getting those little seedlings out of those cells so easy! Like this is amazing! I would have thought someone would have thought of this before you James.
I love your videos! Just got all my soil mixed and put into the raised beds/pots! 4 out of 8 celery seeds have germinated in 8 days! Peppers started! Let’s go! First garden ever!
@lilycardoso4679 Those trays in the cement aisle are called mortar trays. Yes they work well, but so does using an outdoor table that you can simply spray off and walk away from. Why spend money on another piece of plastic made from petroleum when it isn't necessary? Gadgets are taking over everywhere and everything and we are forgetting that in the days of old we didn't have them and didn't need them
Or even discarded in good shape bath tubs, not plastic but good ol cast iron enamel. We used them in Hawai'i and the bottom was filled with coconut shells and the coco fiber🤙🏽🏝we make our soil, which is one of the greatest things about tropical living. And less nuisance bugs than mainland. Same growing just different environment. It's all good
@@connecticutwormsgardensand there was a great appreciation being able to take into your own hands not needing corporate toxins but creating your own gadgets that work just fine. No contributing to the ugly ways of america buy use once throw awy😩
Those are really nice looking trays. Love the drip watering feature on that lid. I will order some and give them a try. Thanks for showing those product features! ❤❤❤for Tuck!
That example of the volunteer springing up to catch or surpass a seed started months prior, is spot-on! We've been too eager to start seeds, and lessons were learned. This is valuable advice, especially if your seed starting area has limited space!
I really like your content. The fact that your in Jersey is good. So many of videos are from South. Just want to say, “thanks”! Keep it up! Tuck is awesome, too…
The information about the soil needed for seeds to grow. It brought back what I learned in horticultural classes. Thank you for the reminders. Looking forward to a new growing season.
Boy am I jealous of the size of those tomato seedlings! I’m about to upload my first garden tour of the year and I wish I had some cute seedlings to look at!🌿
Hi James, i have watched you for years, i am going to try to copy for beautiful food forest! Just ordered a couple neat things that you showed in your video. Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤ tuck❤❤❤
Let’s Gooo!!! There’s nothing like a food forest, I’m glad you’re going to be part of the family! Thanks for the support, me and Tuck appreciate it. And we know you will love the products 😁🐕❤️
I just got my 6 raised garden beds put together and filled. I have the covers still left. Lots of hard work, but I will get something planted this year for sure. May go the easy route and just fill them with herbs and onions. LOL
James, thank you. You help me more than all the people teaching gardening!!! You are the best!!!!and you bring us so much joy sharing your adorable Tuck with us. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU AND TUCK WITH GREAT HEALTH and financially too. Angela from. Arkansas
hi i love your no nonsense professional style, you are a Master teacher and gardener and ah-dorable persona with an ah-dorable mascot!! Thanx so much for your diligence, patience and generosity to share your hard earned mastery!! Blessings from a NJ gal living in FL!!!
Would LOVE to see a change of pace with your videos and see things like what you do with all the food you harvest. How you preserve it, give it away, etc.
James has many happy neighbors. Garden is so large because he loves doing and teaching others what is possible. My garden is partly shaded by my house and after seeing the possibilities, we went for it.
@@smas3256 I'm sure he does have happy neighbors. I've been gardening for over 50 years and my neighbors are all thrilled. But the person who wrote the message to James, and you are not James, asked JAMES to show what he does with his harvest. Does he preserve? does he dehydrate? Does he freeze dry? It was, in my opinion, an opportunity for another video.
@smas3256 it's ok that you replied to my message to James! I think it's awesome you went for it with the gardening! I've been gardening for ten years now. I gave a lot of mine away at times too, so I'm sure Jame's neighbors are indeed happy 😊
That's an amazing set up for sowing seeds and popping them out, really simple and effective and looks like it will last a long time. I haven't seen anything quite like it in the UK, shame! Love to Tuck ❤
have fun with fragile seedlings. It may take longer to germinate in rougher soil, but it's actually better for the plant, so you don't have to spend 2 weeks hardening them off.
Love the video. You are so right on not starting the seeds to early. As a new gardener, I started some zucchini about a month too early. They grew all over the table and flowered in the house before I got them in the garden. Had to carry them out on cookie sheets. They did ok in the garden, but I sure got ribbed by friends and family.
I just purchased a seed starting tray for $11 at Hone Depot. The bottoms of each seed spot has a rubber bottom to push out and the top goes on the bottom and you can bottom water them. I just planted lettuce in hydroponic. I left the dirt on them and placed in riverocks with a wine cooler bottle on the side for watering.
I'm a 3rd year gardener, and I am really enjoying your channel! You give such valuable tips and informationa and this is what new gardeners need in order to not become discouraged. And I love Tuck!!
JP is a master Soil Chef. Those plants are enjoying the healthiest soil prepared with love. So envious of those seed trays. This makes moisture control and seed spacing so much easier to manage.
This is my first year starting seeds. I've already started some annual flowers, but I can already tell that it might have been a little too early. I'm definitely waiting on the veggies!
James, You are so right about when to start seedlings. I have been starting in my house in a small greenhouse,but i have waisted seeds, so o know i need to just be paitence. I love the small sifter, just ordered. Love seeing Tuck.
Awesome thanks, I agree ,. A tip from Jersey and from me in boston, MA - don’t plant outside too early you will be sorry, like brushing snow off your sprouts like I did in years past . Thanks James u rock!
Not rushing is a big point to takeaway. I'm always so eager to get going but then I have plants doing well and nowhere to put them for months! Haha! Next year I know I'll.be planting even later! Thanks!!!
Awesome video as always! So what do you do with all this food..? I keep wondering about this, your gardens and food forests are so abundant! It seems like they would produce way more food than you could possibly eat!
Nice post dude. Greetings from Wales (a separate country in the UK). Bit early fir us, our climate is much colder than where you are. I may start potting tomato seeds next month.
I have my spring onions since last year in ground and they look good, so i found some old spinach seeds that might not sprout at all. I put them in the ground yesterday and hope they make it. I'll start my seeds inside on 15th of March.
Ok, i've watched and all i saw that was different, was the products. I've been srarting seeds since i was six years old - decades ago. In the late 1960s, i read about growing plants under artificial light and built a three shelf unit in my living room using commercial flourescents - that was a game changer! Your cast would be improved if you explained how your method is new.
Good advice to not start too early. In spring all the different ages of plants seem to catch up with each other. Your seedlings look great and that seed starting system looks brilliant!
Another big benefit to fine vermiculite is that it is antifungal; a fine covering on top of established plant soil can really help with that (I've also heard it discourages fungus gnats!). Can't wait for the growing season!
Thanks Jams your so right to wait before sowing ,I think we all get impatient at this time of the year and unless you have super facilities like grow lights it’s a waste of money , time and of course disappointing.
Just received my JP Secret Stuff! Can’t wait for Spring! It’s a false Spring here in NW GA (7b) but I am getting my seeds started this week. ❤ Howdy Tuck!
Great advise. I have a greenhouse, so I can survive my too early seed starts, but you are right. It is better to wait for both starting and transplanting. All good advise. Thank you.
I love this video - so informative and your teaching presentation was excellent! I was wondering as I watched my "volunteer" tomatoes grow strong and true out of the ground after a pretty hard winter (uninvited, but definitely appreciated!), if anyone just "sows" their seeds anymore. It's not always possible for people to grow seedlings indoors and sowing becomes. I think it would be helpful for someone as knowledgeable as you to make a little video on tips for sowing seeds "the old fashioned way". If you've already covered this, I'd really like to view it! This year had a lot of obstacles arise (weather and health) that threw my whole gardening schedule out of whack. So I'm trying some "emergency sowing" to recoup. Thanks for all you do, James. You (and the little Boss ❤❤❤) are the best!
Okay, I didn't think those seed starters were much different than others till 6:50 when you put that drip lid on. And then the seed starting thing that pops them up. Super cool! ❤❤
I love the seed starter trays that come with the led lights>>>I can grow almost anything in these>>>>Propigating blueberry or honeyberry cutting>>>or lavender>>>>do tremendously awesome in these little trays>>I eliminate the plug tray and just use the water tray>>>>>3:03>>>>>>>I LOVE THESE>>>>but with lights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So glad you mentioned water logged potting soil. This year I bought my seed starting mix online knowing it’ll be completely dry vs at garden centers or big box garden areas. I understand they can’t always cover but with my age I just can’t lift them out of the vehicle. Plus I bought my potting soil/seed starting mix online at the end of the season in the winter and got a great deal to boot. Thank you for your advice and sharing.
This is such good information. I have been torn between seed starting mixes and potting soil. Thank you so much for sharing this information! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
James, I searched your videos looking for a video dedicated to growing carrots and didn't find much. I know a lot of people struggle with carrots. Could you do a video on starting carrots indoors as well as direct sow? Thanks. Love your videos!
❤❤❤❤❤❤For the Boss! Thx so much for these excellent amazing videos! Can't wait to get started on my seeds this yr! I grew watermelons and several were over 20 lbs! So proud!! God Bless!
You sold me on the sifter and domed seed starters! The other combo for large batches of seed is pretty ingenious. The more people garden, the more innovative things get for gardeners.
Tuck!!! Spamming hearts for you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love your videos James! You keep inspiring me to grow and expand my garden! Thank you for all you offer to the growing community! I got my seeds planted this week. It's much later than I used to in February because I learned just like you said. I always start too early and my seeds do great at first,but so many always die or struggle to grow once they go outside. I'm so excited to get out in the garden here in zone 6A!
terrific video ..thank you. Doing square foot - 2' high raised beds for the first time as i'm getting to old to be bending. I'm in Mass. eager to start my seedlings but gonna wait a bit.
Oh My Gosh! I needed this video from you today! I have some seed starting mix I put boiled water in last year to sterilize it and it has been inside my house for a year. I wasn't sure if I should use it or not, but your video makes me think it will be ok...even if it has some random dog hair in it ? Please correct me if I'm wrong lol
You can use the big stuff that you sift out of the potting soil for succulents or African violets or any plant that needs soil that drains well and fast.
That is one fancy sifter! You might already know but FoxFarm also makes a seed starting mix called "Light Warrior".... It's been a while since I've used but I remember it working rather well. Seed starting mix seems to be the most expensive soil out their by weight. When I make my own I add some worm castings which works really well... especially if its scooped from a worm bin.

Hey Huw, saw you with Shawn James. Great content.
@@timkeagy4094 Ahh thank you!!
Huw and James... two of my favorites!!!!
Aw, my two favorite gardeners! you both have such great content. Made me happy to see you comment Huw😊💚
Thank you for the reminder to be patient! The hardest part of gardening is the waiting!
You have one of the best channels thanks for you generosity
Let's Gooo!! Thank you for the kind words my friend 😁🐕

How come we don't see these everywhere? This makes getting those little seedlings out of those cells so easy! Like this is amazing! I would have thought someone would have thought of this before you James.
I think we might soon... Yeah the too is super convenient and a game changer IMO

Thanks for the awesome information. I am itching to go out and play in the dirt🤣🤣. I love to see the Boss guarding the garden. ❤❤ for Tuck.
Sifting the soil is a great idea for seeds. Never thought of that. Great video!
You should get a black tub from the cement aisle to mix your soil. They're cheap and work great.

Hello James. That’s a cool grow system. You can use a small set of plastic tongs to lift the plants out of the cells more easily 😊💚
Your doing an awesome job.
Your a good teacher.
Awesome video🌹🌹
James, I searched your videos looking for a video dedicated to growing carrots and didn't find much. I know a lot of people struggle with carrots. Could you do a video on starting carrots indoors as well as direct sow? Thanks. Love your videos!
Thanks James . . . Hey so what would you do with the materials sifted out of the soil? Throw the in the compost pile?
Isn't it amazing there is so much life in a tiny seed
Thanks for the reminder that all is not lost if I haven't planted my tomato seeds yet, James! The last frost date for my area is April 29th.
Thank you, James and Tuck! ♥♥
LOVE YOU TUCKER! YOU'RE THE BOSS!!
Who doesn’t love light fluffy soil! Love it! In the past if I have soil that is too wet I squeeze it in a sieve or towel.
❤❤❤❤❤❤For the Boss! Thx so much for these excellent amazing videos! Can't wait to get started on my seeds this yr! I grew watermelons and several were over 20 lbs! So proud!! God Bless!

I just planted my tomatoes and peppers today, can't wait to see how they produce
Sun sun sun is the magic. Nowadays weather engineering is ruining the land. Lack of sun sun blotted out by these chem trails in the sky. Look up
That time of the year! the Boys and I are getting to it. Thanks for all the help Homie!
Let’s Gooo!!! 😁🐕❤️
Ditto about the tomatoes. Very eager but last frost is mid+ May😄
Great video, thank you James.
Vermiculite also lets light through it, making it great for growing seeds like lettuce or poppies!
I use a (dedicated) cat litter box that has it's own sifter for removing the larger pieces in soil.
Thanks so much James and Tuck. Your instructions are always very helpful and so easy to understand. Keep up your good work son!

Prigioni, you’re my boy Blue! Great video!
You can buy fine germination mix , I put a little on top of that rough potting mix , works great for small seeds.
Love me some Tuck! ♥️♥️♥️. Love your informative gardening info too!
You can use the big stuff that you sift out of the potting soil for succulents or African violets or any plant that needs soil that drains well and fast.
