I have to say great video! I’ve been growing awhile and I’ve been questioning different pot sizes. I have a connected propagator tray and yes, it’s more for large production of one variety. It’s more to just germinate and pot up right away. This year using cell trays and 2” and 3” pots. Bottoms of milk jugs to condense all the onions. I need to conserve some room and beings it’s So Flipping Cold here I can’t justify heating the greenhouse yet. All winter our lows exceeded our highs until this lovely month they call March-it’s the worst month for me to get through and then they insist on this time change crap-UGH!! Anyhow😊I liked the 1010 size trays and found some on Amazon and they are so versatile. Still waiting for the Tidy Tray and sifter on back order. It’ll get here when I’m done😂. I have way too many celery seedlings so the rest will get grouped loosely into a milk jug bottom. Signed onions up for their 5th haircut today. And never using an open bag of soil again unless I sterilize it on the grill like you had done. I’ve dealt with not just gnats, but mildew and aphids as well. Aphids! Never had that before. So happy to find a ladybug in my window and gave it a job👏🏼👏🏼😁. Last week I did a water/peroxide soil drench and that kicked most problems along with sticky traps. So I was excited to see dahlias as I’m trying them for first time ever! And growing the Black Krim! I have probably a dozen tomato and pepper varieties I’m trying to find the perfect. Are you bagging the blossoms on the tomatoes you want to save seed from? I want to get to that point of finding best open pollinated varieties to start saving seeds. I was just informed I wouldn’t be getting a very tough climbing rose because of crop failure-it took me days to choose this rose😏 but what if that happened to be vegetable seeds? I grew oxheart once and think I have some left. I’m going to pre germinate the peppers to get a jump start and make sure I have 1 plant per cell this year and I’m not startling til April 1st otherwise it’s a jungle. Kate, So funny, I knew that someone would plant that mug up😂😂 Take care and I hope this weather passes SOON! So sick of winter. 9” of that white stuff last weekend.🙄😵‍💫

Жыл бұрын

Not this year no. There’s a very long story but basically it would be too expensive to heat it just so I can grow early tomatoes etc. so I grow heaps over winter, but it’s all hardy greens that don’t need heat. For just now, I’ve got a heated propagator I can use when the temperature gets scary (like minus 6 the other day) but the plan this year is to grow without heat as much as possible, like I used to do when I had no option. I think after next week temperatures should be fine for the greenhouse. Means my plants will be slower growing than folk using heat or light (including indoors on window sills) but it’ll be cheaper 😂
