Put a coffee filter in the pot before you fill it with seed starting mix. When you water, the filter will allow the water to drain as well as prevent soil from washing out of the pot's drainage holes.

To help your seedlings grow stronger, be better prepared for transplanting and to cut back on acclimating time place a small aucilating fan on low to blow slightly on your seedlings as they grow.

Deborah D. How To Wash and Disinfect Gardening Pots Step 1: Soapy Soak. After you knock any dry soil out of the pots, fill up your sink or a large bucket with warm water. ... Step 2: Manual Scrub. Soaking should get off most of the dirt, but take a look for any stubborn clods or mineral deposits. ... Step 3: Rinse. Give everything a good rinse. ... Step 4: Bleach Disinfectant Soak. Pots should be soaked in a solution of 1 part household bleach and 9 parts water for an hour, and then rinsed and soaked in clear water to remove any bleach residue that remains.

So much learned from gardening and growing from seed as well as from friends like yourselves that help guid me in what I may not have realized on my own... Enjoy your weekend you guys and thanks for letting me sit in and have my cup of coffee with you this morning :)

Hi Kim. I have pepper seedlings already well along the way. I planted my tomatoes today. All are heirloom varieties. I am experimenting to see which heirlooms will do well in Louisiana zone 8. Last year some the heirlooms I grew did better than the hybrids. I have never enjoyed gardening more that when I began starting my own seeds. It opens a huge world of possibilities as to which varieties you can grow, instead of depending on the big nurseries who stock the stores with only a few varieties. Thank you for encouraging and teaching people to sprout their own.

Please don't use peat pellets if you can avoid it - coconut coir provides much of the same benefits while being a renewable resource. Peat *isn't* renewable and collecting it destroys bog ecosystems that rely on it for filtering the water. It takes over a hundred years for the sphagnum moss to build up and decomp into peat, coir gets replaced often because it actually breaks down in your soil and if you're like me with heavy clay soil in Texas, it can seriously help combat against compaction and drainage issues.

I like how you reviewed quickly throughout the video, each time you added a tip.

I am starting to grow Basil plants indoor thanks to your videos. I won't give up.

Thank you for all the information I just got a greenhouse and live in Florida and I am excited to get started planting seeds!

Another good reason for starting seeds indoors is that, often, it takes more heat for seeds to sprout than it takes the resulting plant to grow! I made the mistake of using garden soil my first try (last year) because I didn't want to buy soil that was shipped from who-knows-where ville. Hopefully I can learn to make seed starting mix from material I can get either myself or from local producers.

Great content as always I already have my seedlings starting for this spring!

If you plant them outside early and a frost gets forecast, cover them with a 3 gallon black container as the temperature dips below freezing. You often get those black container for free at nurseries. Some may have a low charge for used containers. But they will maintain heat around the plant. Add plastic tape over the weep holes if necessary to hold the heat in.

I always use fine compost amended garden soil because it doesn't dry out so easy and is less algae prone. I gave up on those overpriced peat pellets, and they also can stunt root growth if you don't remove that netting when transplanting. I also reuse nursery packs and containers for as long as they last. The world has a big plastic waste problem that we can't ignore. Peat bogs aren't in infinite supply either from what I have heard. Local and free works for me.

RIGO BARRON I’ve been starting seeds indoors for a couple of years now and have a couple of thoughts. First don’t worry if your seeds fail to germinate. It happens! Soil temperature is very important to the seeds. It should be in the mid 70’s. Tomatoes are a tender warm season crop. To survive outside they won’t germinate until the soil is warm. So keep them indoors until they germinate. Light becomes important as soon as they germinate. Once up, tomatoes will tolerate temperatures in the 60’s. Lower than that stresses them. Also right now if you’re in the USA your plants aren’t getting enough light. I’d guess we are getting 11 hours or less of daylight depending on where you live. Kim refers to her grow light videos in the salsa video. Watch them. She has some really inexpensive options for a grow light. The advice is great too. Hope that helps.

Bruce Redd thank you 🙏🏼

Lovesong writer here, I am a newbie to gardening. I have been very curious about those little pods for a while. You are very convincing. I am still apprehensive about starting my seeds and watching your video was good to me. I will plant.👌🏾

thank you for the information. i've never used the pods. I'll give it a try this year.

Her: don't be afraid to start seeds indoors,its super easy". Me: thank you, I needed that, tell me!

The sound quality on this video is incredibly good. It sounds like you're wearing a lavalier microphone (lapel mic) but I don't see one on your blouse. Either it's hidden really well, or you had some pro-quality audio equipment there next to the camera as you shot this. Usually on KZread, you see amateurs making videos and the sound quality is quite often the last thing they ever figure out how to get right. This video stands head and shoulders above most for sound quality, that's for sure! Can you let me in on how you achieved that?
