How To Prick Out Seedlings / Sweet William Seed Sowing Update
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 07. 2024
- Today I am potting on the Sweet William seedlings from the sowing I did at the end of July. It’s been three weeks and the little seedlings now have their true leaves and are getting a bit crowded and a little leggy, so they need to be moved to their own individual spaces. I take you through the steps for successful pricking out and show you how to care for your seedlings.

Greetings, from your friend across the pond! I have about five or six gardeners that I follow for planting advice, who I've followed for years. And I must say that after watching 3 minutes of your videos, you are my absolute, absolute favorite Gardner. Most people I watch show their perfect plants and flowers, no mistakes. I love how you show your beautiful successes, and I equally love how you show your failures. It lets me know that I am coming along and that everybody makes mistakes and that I'm coming along just fine. You have the best planting advice and do's and don'ts. Thank you so much for making this channel I absolutely love yours. I am now going to forward a link to two of my cousins and three of my friends who have gardens as well, I know they will appreciate you as much as I do. Lots of love to you!❤❤❤❤❤
As a side note I don't know how long it's going to take me to watch every video you have, but dammit that is a goal that I now have! I'm doing this I have committed LOL.
Gosh. I am so flattered. Thank you for your incredibly kind words and for sharing my channel with your friends and family, this means so much to me, thank you. I hope I can continue to make interesting and fun videos for you all!
Great explanation, Thank you. It has given me further confidence as a new Gardner
Wonderful, that's exactly what I hoped for - so glad I could help. 💚🌱
Very thorough explanation,and as always I get a chuckle this time from your cat 🐈.
Hi Diane, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Max is a super-mouser! 😁🐈⬛🌱
You are such a sweet person.
Thank you so much 😊😁
Well-presented and just what I needed, thank you.
Hi John, I'm glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching.
Hi Annette, Many thanks for the video, really clear and easy to follow. I have my seedlings which are really strong and bushy. I'm planting them out into the garden to over winter and wanted to check if they will need protection or just a good mulch? Many thanks
Glad it was helpful! It really depends what you're planting out and also where you live. If they are hardy annuals or biennials, then they should be fine without protection as long as they are 'big' enough. I wouldn't plant out really tiny seedlings but a decent sized one should be ok. Sorry for the late reply - I've been on holiday for 5 weeks!!
Hi Annette could you please let me know which liquid feed you use. THanks
Hi John, when the seedlings are young I this seaweed feed. amzn.to/3LmIjI4 (very diluted for tiny seedlings)
What was the green seed tray you were using. The one with all the 40 cells.
Hi Geoff, its from a company called Plantpak but I don't use them anymore because I've found stronger trays that last longer - I found these ones broke so often when I was trying to remove the plants that I felt I was using too much plastic. I find smaller trays are much easier to handle. Hope you find something you like.
Hi. Do you keep the seedlings in the shade.
Hi Susan, they are mostly in the shade but probably get 4 hours of direct sun during the middle of the day. I think they're better in semi shade because we don't want them to dry out just as they're germinating - that is death to little seedlings. 😁
