Question. I just started my seeds. I know I need to remove dome once I see them germinate, but my question is, before they germinate, should the vent be opened or closed? They are in the house but not on a heat pad. Thanks
Good info..so true what you said about brassicas. My collards are sooo thirsty…stopped the video to water them. Thanks for the reminder!!
You have any advice for stopping rodents from eating your cucumber plants? I planted a simple earth bed with a gate around it, noticed my plants were getting eaten so i zip tied hardware cloth to the top (originally thinking it was squirrels) my bed was fine for a few days but now its started to get eaten again and i could zip tie hardware cloth around the gate however then i wouldn't be able to have access to my bed, so im at a complete loss on what i should do any suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated
VIDEO REQUEST: This may get lost in the comments, but could you do a video on perennial care after a really dry winter? My raised beds are super dry but we still get freezing temperatures at night. Did I kill my garlic and strawberries by letting it get that dry and now that I did water it? I live in MN.
How do cabbage seedlings act if I'm watering too much?

I’m a backyard gardener growing for two and I never use the trays with more than 36 cells. There’s no way. I grow a variety of things and have opted for smaller 4 and 6 cell seed trays, 3 inch pots, maybe even peat pods which are all great for keeping categories of seedlings separated to be given individualized care. Watering in general I check my seedling daily for watering needs. Trying out some soil blocks this year which will be more finicky about watering. Love the idea of using less plastic though.
I started coneflower seeds and marigold seeds 4 days ago. The marigold started sprouting yesterday but nothing so far with the coneflower. Should I be worried?
I planted flower seeds in Walmart paper seeds starter holders. The flower package said that that flower doesn't like to be transplanted. The paper seed starters dry out daily and so does the soil medium in them. They also tip over very easily. I wont be using them again.
Vermiculite is a form of mica, not expanded volcanic rock 😬
Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for explaining the difference between vermiculite and perlite! Most other videos I watch say they are basically the same and that didn’t make sense to me because I’ve used both and they didn’t have the same effect in my soil. Thanks for breaking it down
Rosemary is not arid crop at all. It grows in our temperate rainforest climate in clay waterlogged soil and it is absolutely unphased by both daily torrential rain for weeks and waterlogged soil. The only thing that killed mine was that fungus. Lavender is another story. It really does not like both daily rain and waterlogged soils. Rosemary can survive both arid conditions and temperate rainforest conditions as long as that fungus does not get it if it rains daily for month. Same for thyme. My thyme is thriving in our super rainy and humid climate. It is the thoughest plant in my garden along with the Greek oregano. They both do not mind lots of rain or constantly waterlogged soil.
Just in time for my seed starting, thank you Luke!
My seedlings have fur on them.:(
Great video as always! Love your enthusiasm and good energy! Makes me excited to garden. I'm a total newbie – first year gardener and there is A LOT of information out there. One thing that I need though, in order to get that Gardener Intuition, though are visuals. If you could sacrifice some seedlings and show us what you did WRONG that would be so helpful!! Thanks Luke! Love you!!
I cannot stop stressing about watering my seedlings. Last year, I think I underwatered my seedlings out of fear of overwatering.
how about wicking mats? are those good for seedlings
Been watching for a few years. In an effort to get away from plastic as much as possible, I've switched to soil blocking. Not your preferred lane, but it would be interesting to me to see you play with that a little bit. The seed starting stuff just doesn't apply for me as much these days with the cells and containers but still love the videos!
