Soil Blocking Warm Season Veggies & Flowers For Mom & Dad! 9 Days Later Seedling & Pregnancy Update!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- Garden Gals and Guys, I'm so pleased to finally get this video out to you, but even more pleased that these soil blocks have taken off and done so well...and that I haven't given birth yet! It's been a week my friends!
Today I show you how I was getting a head start for my parents in doing some quick soil blocking with veggies for my Dad and flowers for my Mom, so that when we visited in a little over a week, they'd be sprouted and I could easily prick them up and into their garden beds to continue to grow! HOWEVER, doctors have advised me to stay put as I've had more discomfort and pressure this week with my twin pregnancy. SO, hopefully Mom and Dad can come up soon to retrieve them and still use them. Either way, I thought it'd be helpful for you to see how you can easily start a lot of plants on two small trays that are easy to travel with by car if you were giving some to other people! Furthermore, I was happy and a little bit surprised to see my older seedlings (packed for 3 years ago) all germinated! So definitely try to use your old seedlings up...it's worth a shot if it worked for me!
Please comment below and let me know your favorite zinnias, as well as, what's going on in your gardens! If you haven't yet, please subscribe to my channel to follow along with all things garden!
As always, thanks for your support, especially through this challenging pregnancy journey...I'm grateful for all your kind words, wishes, encouragement, and prayers!
Thanks for watching! Happy Planting!

Hang in there, Tiny! Having to rest when you don't feel sick is one of the hardest things some pregnant Momma's are instructed to do! Just keep in mind that YOU are the 1000% the best place possible for those sweet babies right now, and each day longer you can keep them is one day healthier they will be when you finally get to hold them in your arms. You are by far the best NICU there could ever be, so hang in there, Friend! It will all be so worth it very very soon!!!
Thanks so much for your encouragement! I’m soaking up those well wishes these days! ❤️ Doing my best to keep on, keepin’ on!
Glad to hear you stayed home. Every week counts for the babies. Bonny
Absolutely. One day at a time!
Great experiment and wishing you and your babies an easy labour! Rest up, relax and enjoy the wild ride to come! Oh, and with twins, make sure you have lots of people by your side to help you out!
Thank you! Lots of rest these days. On the struggle bus, but trying to take it a day at a time. Thanks so much for your well wishes! 🤗
Don"t you worry about us! You get lot's of rest and good food and stay hydrated, very important. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way. ❤
Thanks so much, Mary! Hope you’re enjoying your seeds! 😄
@@TinysGarden I can't wait for the beautiful seeds to bloom! Thank you so much❤
I start all my moms petunias (approx. 100) and dads tomatoes (15) each year. Labor of love for those we love!!!
Exactly! It makes them even more special right!?
Those seedlings did great! I may have to try soil blocking next year.
Best of luck to you and baby - get all the rest you need - your health is what is most important right now ❤️
I think you’d enjoy it! I’ve found it very time saving and way more space efficient with healthy seedling results 👍 Thank you very much for your well wishes! I need them more than ever in this home stretch! ☺️
Sorry to hear about your scare. I had GD too and it's a pain but really also keeps you honest. It's always hard to remember this time of year how much summer we still have ahead to grow things ❤. Happy Mother's Day
Thank you! You as well. GD has taken a VERY heavy mental toll on me, but I’m trying to keep my head up for my girls. Thanks for the encouragement! ❤️
Take good care of yourself ❤
Trying! Thank you!
good luck with it all, seems you're in the home stretch. :) Great germination on the seeds.
Thanks so much! 👍
Hi you must rest for those little baby bumps. It’s gonna be a long old road now very nearly at the end. I do love all your seniors. I am finding it very hard to grow them in it country but I’m probably doing something wrong. I will keep trying I have grown tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergine peppers. I’ve been very encouraged to do things more from see this year. Rest up now we can wait for videos ❤❤😊.
Thank you so much!
Oh Steph, I can't believe you are 32 weeks already. That flew by. (Easy for me to say 😅) Thanks for posting. We all appreciate you! I was carrying 80 lissies (the ones I waited forever for from Geo Seeds) Did 4 groups..one in each 20 cell soil blocker. Well, had them on a tray and dropped the tray and they went everywhere😢😢 I have no way of knowing which are which. I had 2 varieties cosmos on the there too. So, surprises coming my way once they bloom. You take care!!! And, thanks again!
I’ve had a dropped tray experience too - all you can do is laugh after crying right?! What’s most important is that they’re still growing and you’re going to have Lissies!!!!! 🎉🥰❤️ You can look up which is which. Sending the best Lisianthus growing vibes I possible can. Excited for you!
Beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing your video. I hope you have a great growing season. New subscriber ❤💚❤️🙏
Thanks so much! Happy to have you here! Best wishes on a successful season to you as well!
Im so behind on my seed starting .. I just spent the dark morning hours sorting my seeds. So many 😂.. MY experience with tomatoes seeds is they grow even years and years old. Peppers too. I started my peppers 2 months ago.. and have 3 trays of beautiful plants.. about 15 varieties and roughly 120 plants. I will not be growing them all to fruition 😅 Awe the home stretch of pregnancy😊 every day counts ❤ Take care of you .. lets hold off on the babies announcement for a few more weeks!
Agreed! Stay tucked in sweet girls for awhile longer please! Your plants sound amazing and healthy! Delicious! Wishing you more success if you decide to start even more!
Questions for you!! When I direct sowed my sweet peas, I did 2 per hole. Well, they both came up and look good! Would you still thin to one every 6in? Also, have you ever seen purple cosmos?! Like truly lavender and dark purple…I saw them in a mixed seed pack at Lowe’s in the fancy organic seed section, they were seashell cosmos (which aren’t my fav, but I was still tempted bc of the color!!) Thinking about you and your babies!! ❤️
Honestly, I probably would not thin. Textbook says maybe you should, but who doesn’t love a solid sweet pea wall…and honestly, I probably would rather just use that time to do something else more important to me like direct sow zinnias (which I have not done yet…🥴). I’ve grown Apricotta and Rubenza cosmos which both have a little purple in them and I was not impressed. I’ve heard of Seashell…maybe those are better! Good luck! And thanks for the sweet well wishes for my babes and I…I’m soaking them in a lot these days! I need the encouragement! 😵💫
@@TinysGarden So, updates! I did end up chopping the extra sweet peas, but I’m now rooting the cuttings and they look super happy! 🥰 I decided to leave my plants out on my patio to get morning sun to harden off, dreading coming home to see them all wilted and sad…and they were perfect! 🥳 All hardened off now, and planning to plant on Sunday! I’m actually not growing any cosmos this year, bc I didn’t want to grow anything that needed frequent deadheading…so no petunias, no marigolds, and no cosmos 🥲 But I’m so excited about what I am growing!! Hang in there mama, you got this! Almost there!! ❤️
