Raising Hundreds Of Garden Starts From Seed Indoors (Part 2 - Plug To Transplant)
Hello again, everyone! This is part two of our growing from seed series! In this video, we cover everything from the initial seedling transplant all the way up to the point where we have a plant that can be put into our gardens!
We grow well over a thousand plants, from seed, indoors every season. This video covers all the important things that we're paying attention to. From the actual mechanics of transplanting, watering our plants, how we harden them off to our strategies that we use to planting our gardens into a cold climate. Between part one and this video, it covers pretty much every aspect of our growing from seed process!
Again, we want to stress that we have to grow indoors out of necessity. In the subarctic, we have negative temperatures and feet of snow when we need to start our gardens. Things are definitely easier and more lenient in warmer climates!
There are many ways to go about raising plants, this is just our demonstration of how we do it. We have learned a lot of things growing as many plants, with as much diversity, as we do. Some of our techniques are aimed at our levels of production, but they should be relevant to any grower that is interested in growing from seed.
It's a lot of work growing from seed! But, we find it worth it for the cost savings as well as the ability to grow plants that rival commercial greenhouse quality. We do consider it a somewhat "medium to advanced" gardening technique, but its achievable by anyone!
We hope that you find this video to be another valuable addition to our channel! As always, if you have any thoughts, comments or questions - we welcome you to put those down below!
Oh, and sorry for the delay! I had planned on getting this one out much sooner, but ran into some serious computer problems that prevented me from finishing this video. Glad to have that fixed, which allows me to focus on other topics now!
We truly thank you all for your support, likes and spending your time with us. We never imagined we'd get so much support, so it's truly been wonderful.
As always, we have a ton of cold climate gardening info at FrostyGarden.com

    Just curious about planting 6 bush beans per bucket. You don't have a problem with Botrytis or Sclerotinia??? I've taken to spacing my beans 12" and even interplanting to prevent the fall mold from taking hold. So was surprised. And curious to know your experience. Maybe the trick is that your buckets are spaced to allow for good air flow ???

    • @frostygarden907
      @frostygarden907 Před 9 dny

      We generally keep our beans fairly well packed together, we even keep our buckets pretty close together. Growing them in containers, they'll naturally get decent airflow. But, we haven't had much of a problem. Thanks for the watch!

    Am guessing that you remain in the area for the full hour that your vegetables are drying out. We do battle on a regular basis with red squirrels. They get in to everything I do on the deck. Wondering if you two encounter interference from squirrels.

    • @frostygarden907
      @frostygarden907 Před 9 dny

      We do usually stick around (typically doing cleanup and such) and haven't really had many problems with squirrels. They are around, but if we're out and about, they usually retreat back to the forest.

    I cover crop my potted plants now by sowing around my cash crop in a circle White Clover because White Clover sucks up Nitrogen from the air naturally and drumps it into the soil to create this natural soil plant feeding effect so my cash crop benefits from that naturally. To prevent the White Clover from using that nitrogen from the air naturally I prune the entire White Clover stem back to 2 inches tall and the excess haircut of that I mix with the soil to let it biodegrade over time to feed the soil even more.

    IF YOU PLAN ON DRIP OR WATERING WITH TAP WATER I ADVISE YOU TO WATER ONE PLANT WITH TAP WATER THE OTHER WITH DISTILLED WATER WHY TO SEE IF YOUR WATER IS GOING TO KILL YOUR PLANTS OR MAKE THEM SICK . LAST YEAR HAD ALL PLANTS DEVELOP CHLOROSES OR STUNED AND NUTRIENT DEFITCEINT . WHEN I STARTED TO USE DISTILLED THEY BECAME MORE COLORFULL AND ALL PLANTS STARTED DOING BETTER ALTHOUGH I LOST ALL PLANTS BEFOR AND COULDNT EVEN GET SEEDS TO SPROUT . VERY SAD I WAISTED MY TIME , MONEY AND FOOD FOR MY FAMILY . IM FROM OHIO SO DONT KNOW IF HAPPINING EVERYWHERE ELSE BUT LIKE I SAIDE DONT WAIST YOUR TIME BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN YOU DONT WANT TO WAIST TIME , MONEY OR FOOD FOR YOUR FAMILY . I ONLY USE RAIN WATER AND PLANTS ARE ALL DOING GREAT . IMAGINE WHAT THIS TAP WATER IS DOING TO THE HUMAN BODY OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME FROM DRINKING IT .

    Thanks for the content My question if you get a chance to answer is If you try to sub garden with direct water to a jug to bottom of container it said it has almost no waste of water and a constant supply But on the same token if a container has all that water in the bottom of it What stops a tomato plant from getting root rot are bacterial fungus

    • @frostygarden907
      @frostygarden907 Před 24 dny

      Sub irrigation requires a little bit more than just water in the bottom of the container. It's typically a "designed" process that has a few things involved. For example, there's an air gap above the water supply, a drain (to rid excess water) and soil/water contact. It's the air gap and drain that prevent over-watering and therefore avoids things like root rot. Some day, I might do a video explaining the technical side of things a bit more, but I don't have anything for now. Hope that makes sense, though! Thanks for the comment, let me know if anything doesn't add up!

    I'll just say that even if you are a taller person don't think "Well if little old ladies can handle 4ft wide beds then I can do 5". You probably can until you put up a trellis for your peas to climb or you tomato plants get a bit burley blocking easy access from one side..

      True! There's actually a ton of debate about the "right size" of garden beds. Personally, I think 3 foot beds are "best" for access. But, you also sacrifice a fair bit of garden density. A trellis can be annoying, no matter the size of the bed, it's basically a fence in your way! Thanks for the watch & comment.

    • @frostygarden907
      @frostygarden907 Před 24 dny

      Containers and perennials can be tough in really cold climates. The best thing you can do is give them a bit of thermal mass, like placing the containers next to your home over the winter. (Or, just bring them inside.) You can try things like mulching with straw, which will create insultation. If you have bad luck with survival, the best thing to do is get them in the ground. You can block off parts of the garden to prevent spreading of invasive species, which helps a bunch! Thanks for the comment and watch!

I was doing it every other week but once a week does sound better considering I’m washing out so much watering as frequently as I am. I do need to invest in a drip water system. That’s probably gonna be for next year. Thank you for the helpful information! I really appreciate you!

    This came too late for me , I have around 30 containers that all have drainage holes built in so sub irrigation wouldn't work. Also we get a lot of rain and tubs without drainage just fill up and the plants drown then rot. I can't afford to replace all the pots so maybe a deep pot saucer inside the pots would create a reservoir that would then drain through the holes beneath the saucer if over watered or rained on. We seem to be getting many more rain events now. A month's rain in one day. This is in West Wales.

    I use buckets and grow bags so I can move my plants during heat waves or severe storms. One thing I do in every bucket is add flowers and companion plants. So as a rule every bucket has a Marigold or Nasturtium in it as well as Chives plus whatever else can fit, sometimes just clover. I also use a drip water bottle in each bucket. I mainly do peppers but I have some tomato plants. I use coco coir as a surface cover. Subirrigation is a goal of mine but the water bottles and ouyas get the job done so I can hold off.

      Cool! We do some multi-planting in our containers, too. We've found we can knock down aphids in the greenhouse planting some flowers they don't like! Definitely helps! Thanks for the watch, comment and insight into how you use containers!

    This was great! I’d say I am an advanced home vegetable gardener, with a few decades experience of intensive gardening in a short-season high-desert climate, but I always realize I have a lot to learn and have much to ponder from other vegetable gardeners. Will you release your slide stack anytime soon? I would like to think more about a couple of your lists.

    How do you over-winter plants in containers?

    • @frostygarden907
      @frostygarden907 Před měsícem

      For us, we just bring them inside. We're in a super cold climate, so that's really our only option. We do run grow lights throughout the winter for our houseplants and overwintering. Some people put them in a semi-heated garage, though.

    Hi Jeff . Based on the name of your canal , I assume you live somewhere where is not warm . Do you mind to tell us what climate zone you live in ? Now , I live in climate zone 3 and this is new experience for me because I came from warm climate zone . Here is an idea for new video : Maybe you can talk about vegetables that grow in cold climate zone and what time of the year to plant them and also how to protect perennials from frosty winter . Thanks for this video .

      Hello there, fellow northerner! We are a bit north of Fairbanks, Alaska. We have gardens in zone 2a and 3a. So, very similar to what you're dealing with. I do have both of those ideas on my "to-do" list and will try to get it done! In the mean time, I'll link you to a couple similar articles we have up currently! Thanks for the comment, appreciate the watch! frostygarden.com/topics/what-to-plant-in-subarctic-garden/ frostygarden.com/topics/zone-2-perennial-edible-food-forest-in-the-subarctic/

    What orientation is your greenhouse (N-S or E-W)? Do you think it makes a difference?

    • @frostygarden907
      @frostygarden907 Před měsícem

      We have ours aligned east-west, which allows excellent southern exposure and good western exposure, which is our best sunlight exposure. The best alignment for any given greenhouse usually depends a bit on your sun exposure, so its good to look at your space. Hope that helps, thanks for the comment!
