If you haven't ever watch him you should check out James Prigioni. He has some good tips and brings a lot of energy.

We had a consultation with Luke last week. He was great! Extremely helpful, polite, never seemed rushed, seemed very interested helping our garden problems and answering questions. Definitely worth the money. We were having several of the issues he mentioned on this video. Added bloodmeal and sand, perlite to loosen the soil. I am keeping my fingers crossed this helps.

@4:28, gardening, taught me a different level of patience; like becoming a parent, taught me a different level of responsibility!

If you grow in small space like me - sometimes plants nearby get taller, and start to shade one next to it. That slows the growth. You might start seeing plant stretching to get light. Love how you always talk like you are the plant Luke! Great ep!

This title feels like a personal attack because it’s like you read my garden’s mind :’-) LOL! My plants will be grateful for your advice as always! Thank you! 💚🌈

Quick question for you - Several types of plants such as beans and peppers will stop growing taller if you clip off the top of the plant once it has reached the top of the support structure. Will tomatoes do the same thing - stop growing taller if you clip them and put their growth into the lower portion of the plant?

@ThahnG413

@@lakeerieprepper4073 Yeah they will, tomatoes are actually the best at it sense they naturally grow suckers which are technically just side branches

My dad's tomato plants stopped growing and started yellowing. I found out he only used compost/manure mix as his fertilizer and there was very LOW nitrogen in that. I added some osmocote, which I have used for years in my garden, and the 14-14-14 has started to bring them back. Fairly sure it was the lack of nitrogen, as you said. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Mine too. Wondering if I should add in more wood chips

I am not a novice gardener, and I (along with several other gardeners in my area and a local nursery) have been frustrated by the absolute snail-like pace of seedling growth and germination this year. I know it's the weather, which has been alternating between little runs of days in the 80s followed by week in the 40s, then back to the 80s for a couple days, then back to the 40s. Super frustrating. My flower garden is usually about 6 inches high at this point, but this year the biggest of my seedlings are 2 inches high. 😞 its just one of those years.

This video came at the right time for me, in Western PA we've had a stretch of cold and rainy weather and my poor little beet sprouts haven't been growing like I thought they should.

Lol I want my flowers to grow 100mph for sure but I love the whole process of planting from seed and watching them grow into something beautiful. Thank you for all this great information

Has anyone watched his much older videos? I have and they are still very informational. Didn't realize he has been doing this chanel for over ten years recently became a subscriber. Thanks for everything your doing great.

There is 'Knowledge for Living' in growing a Garden... Gardening teaches and cultivates patience, humility, planning, empathy, discovery, study, wonderment and soulful happiness; Bonus point: you don't need to pay for a gym membership to get the exercise that's good for you from working in the garden. After you begin learning the lessons that your garden has in store for you, you begin to Recognize how these benefits can be transferred and applied throughout your Life. Whilst the "learning' aspect Never Ends, Your own personal and spiritual enlightenment grows with each season, as IS the perpetual cycle on Earth. Embrace Dirty fingernails; sweet soil dabblings to all whom play with it! May your good bacteria flourish and help keep your garden bountiful. Humans were made for this... TY, Luke.

Your virtual garden consultations are a brilliant idea!

I've been watching Luke since the days when he was just a young'n and growing unique plants indoors. He was either late high school or just in college back then.

We have so much more confidence in our garden this year thanks to your videos. I spent all my late night nursing sessions over the last year listening and learning, and we are super excited!

It's like you are reading my mind!!! All of it! Thank you Luke! Also, I started my YT video with a shout out to you-- I drink my coffee in my new garden most every day with your mug! Be well.

Freaking awesome information. You rattled off things that I never thought of especially being a semi-new gardener. Also, was that Aidan who walked by in the background?! LMAO he packed an order of mine a few weeks ago with lots of love and I appreciated it! Keep the informational and garden love vlogs coming 🤗💚💚

We needed this video. Thank you Luke. Patience is our problem (likely), but we’re working on it. Gardening definately helps to learn this life-skill.

Hey Luke !! LOVE your channel and now if you have what I need I only buy your seeds. The viability rate is astonishing, even compared to the old standbys. Your videos are very informative but I have a request. Could you throw in more pictures of YOUR garden in your tutorials ? Your garden is SOOO inspiring and when you do show your progress I find that I am on fire to use what you teach us !! Keep up the good work. My garden has gone from crappy to not to bad in the 3 years that i have been watching you ! My wife used to ask me why we were wasting money on gardening, now she is proud and we share our produce with friends and family ! Most of the family are gardeners and they are tickled pink with what produce we share.

Thank you very much for this video. Helps to answer a lot of questions.

thanks for all the advice, always welcome from you. I havent planted much here in northern michigan yet, the weather at night is still staying about 30 to 34. soon looks like 40's im goin to chance it. ive been hardening off a little at a time when not below 40 during the day just taking longer than I have planned. but I dont want to lose everything like the past two years patience kelly from michigan

Not sure if this helps too but when they’re still in pots, the size of the pot matters. I have peppers and coleus where I’ve planted some in bigger outs and left some in the small cells, and wow the ones in the bigger pots are definitely bigger plants.

Thank you! Great information!!

Wow ! Awesome information !!! Thank you Luke 👍

Thank you for this helpful info!

I have been watching your videos for years. This is your best video.

In addition, i planted a lemon tree a long time ago and i gave it some air by removing some of the matter and soil near the roots and i made sure to get down to the roots essentially letting it breathe. Less than a week later it pops out flower bulbs. In conclusion, you need sun, water, soil and air! Some plants lay dormant at night others grow faster in the night. Thats from my experience. Different types of plants grow differently and need different things. I believe the only way to learn is to do it yourself.

I just found your channel on the home page. Great advice but i wasn't expecting just a sit down/ just talking video. Some visuals either on screen to illustrate or going to a plant to talk about it and maybe add chapters to explain each segment just to break up the video into manageable pieces to make the points more digestible and highlight the justification of including them in the video. I'm not hating. I just found that it was a lot of information to take in and i feel that i would be more engaged in what you were saying if it was broken down a bit. I have just subscribed as i am sure i can pick up some other great gardening tips!

Thank you. Peace and blessings from Idaho, julie

One thing we do is start from seed indoor, move to greenhouse outdoors (50 inside night setting) then outdoors in day (60-70). This acclimation gets them able to move into ground on each plant type allowance. We add slow release fertilizer into soil, feed fish emulsion once a month, and boogie brew tea once a week. Our pepper plants use NFTG once a week. Lastly, drip lines are separated by flowers and veggies. Key is separating days of watering so it can dry out slightly. I personally look at what spacing and time of water does leading to the week amount, in our case it’s a gallon of water total. Doing this optimizes growth and health for us.

Thanks for making this video

Great job Luke!

Learned why my garden in southwest Florida last year didn’t produce anything until it was time for us to move to the Midwest in October. It was too hot so good to know and I plan on putting some fish emulsion spray on my garden now. Gonna try applying it with a spray bottle so I don’t over do it with my clay soil that can be really wet.

as always,a very good video.Thank you!

I've grown garden in my back yard past 3 years. 1st year I tilled the clay soil I have with garden soil and that's it. This year amended soil with manure, in ground and potting soil. Was just looking at pics from 3 years ago. My toms at this point back then were tall and just about to put out flowers. Today they're only 1/4 -1/3 as tall as the previous. Starting to feel like I should not have amended the soil with the extras. The same thing is going on with my squash. Same time 3 years ago it was already beginning it's trail at the top of the fence. Today it's still low to ground. All my plants are green, look healthy, not many bugs. Trying to be patient
