I followed your instructions and I got a 10" pot full of organic strawberries from a organic strawberry seeds from store bought organic strawberry and sprinkled cinnamon on top working great
just came across you channel really glad you mentioned the alabama grardner he was a wonderful gentleman with world class knowledge really enjoying your channel and the knowledge you are sharing keep on guarding chuck in east central okla
I've been killing my microbes in my seed starter! I think adding a bit of my garden soil might help to bring it back to life. Thank you.
Thank you for the info. I have some seeds under plastic for I believe 2 weeks now. Took them off fresh strawberries, I will be a lil more patient💪🏿
Great work on the Strawberries 😁
You can handle the babies by a leaf, it’s the strongest part
Hi. I was wondering if you used cold stratification before sowing? I was so inspired after watching this video that I just sowed them ,the way you showed without stratification. I’m new to strawberries and I appreciate learning that simply drying out a strawberry gives seeds to sow! Can’t wait to try with a dried strawberry!
@@Gypsygrowgoddess yes and no...... If you bought store-bought strawberries there's no need to they've been refrigerated already before getting to you..... Fresh ones yes put them in the fridge for about 25 days and they are ready to rock.
I'm sure you are going to have wonderful success with your new strawberry plants.
Very interesting about the soil to root communication.. Very intelligent Sir
Why thank you...... Just another example of how everything is connected 🤗😁
@@murdocksmadnesspatriotgard5472 you're very welcome 😁 I greatly enjoy watching your videos.. I do some growing from seed myself 😉 God bless you always and enjoy your weekend 🙏
New to your channel so please pardon my low information on your channel content, do you grow grapes? If so, I was hoping you would do a video on growing table grapes.
Welcome 🤗 to the channel ❤️
You are in luck.....I just trimmed my two grape 🍇 vines yesterday....I will be doing a propagation video on it 👍
Unfortunately I don't have table grapes but am looking to get some. Right now I have one red and a white wine grape varieties.
Is there something specific you were looking to learn? Maybe I could incorporate it into a future video in which I plant table grapes.
Thanks for that question.
Great video! I just went and got berries today and can’t wait for seeds 😊 Do these bear fruit the first year they’re planted?
We should. They should just around June or July....but next year should be really good 👍
Thanks so much! I would love to watch you make your soil mix! I am brand new to gardening. Been thinking of hydroponics. What do you think about it? I am old and can’t bend and dig out weeds anymore. I do own an archer of land. It’s mostly weeds but a nice old orchard and raspberry bushes.
Hydroponic systems do well but require a lot of maintenance and a lot of very close monitoring of the water and nutrients. One simple mistake and you can lose all your plants. The soil is much more forgiving and although hydroponic does boast bigger plants, they aren't always as natural looking or as healthy as coming from the Earth as they were intended to, in my opinion. ❤️
Good morning my name is tashi and I live in Jamaica 🇯🇲 so many times I plant Strawberry seed and It does not sprout, can you help me and show me? How to germinate the seeds thanks
Did you go check out the other video where I start them from seeds?
I highly recommend it.
It will get you growing them in no time ❤️
In the first video mentioned using a light. Do you heed one ?
What about watering? How often do you water them.
If the temperature is outside are above 50°, but lower than 80 you could simply cover the cups and place them outside in the sun.....in winter or very early spring there's not enough warmth or daylight hours to get them going right.
I water as soon as the top of the soil dries a little.
Any excess water that drains through is disposed of..,....not left in the second cup to fester up or breed bacteria 🦠🧫
Interested in all your strawberry growing videos
I will have another one in about a month as soon as temperatures cool down. Arizona presents a wonderful growing season in the fall
@@murdocksmadnesspatriotgard5472 I think I have a problem I ordered 25 June bearing strawberry bare roots and 25 everbearing strawberry bare roots shipping this month is it to late to get them in my 4'x12'x12" high galvanized metal raised garden bed this month any suggestions on mulching and covering them for winter hits
@@murdocksmadnesspatriotgard5472
Spacing in the same raised garden bed that I mentioned above message

Hi, im new to your channel. What zone are you in? Im in middle Tennessee and im in zone 7.
When i see some of your other videos about when you transplant them outside....your zone will tell me about the time i should transplant mine.
I grow tomatoes. Better boys, better girls and purple. Love me some maters 😊
Im making hybrids from my dwarf japanese maple. They are doing great!
Ive not planted and strawberries though.
There is a place here in Lebanon Tennessee called Lester's farm and they have the biggest and sweetest strawberries ive ever had. Well i saved me some seeds(a lot) so i could plant my own. Thank you gor being very thorough! Im gonna enjoy your channel. The cinnamon tip ❤ thank you! Happy growing 💗🍓
I am in zone 9
thanks for the great video with some great tips! By the way, is Murdock a first or last name? My mom's people are Murdocks.
I believe it's a nickname he earned, lol.
Miss Barbara is absolutely correct.
It is a nickname I worked hard to achieve.....great name.
Murdocks are typically awesome folks ❤️ 🙏😇
@@murdocksmadnesspatriotgard5472 Thanks for the insight. I was curious and thought I would ask.
@@murdocksmadnesspatriotgard5472 I to earned the nickname murdoc but since been shortened to just Doc, Go A Team
Love your video ,,so much great information,just wondering if you can give measurements in gallons and cups or what ever as hard to know what 20% is iam sorry I just can’t figure out what you mean ,please and thankyou
So let's see that would be 2 gal pro mix aggregate soil+ 1 gal Kellogg's raised bed and potting mix + 1 gal Pete moss+ 1 quart of perlite . 🤗
That would be 2 gallons of promix professional growing aggregate plus one gallon Kellogg's s raised-bed potting mix plus one gallon of peat moss plus one quart of perlite . 🤗
@@murdocksmadnesspatriotgard5472 thank you so much for that now would I also add any worm castings or fertilizer to this mix and what plants like this mix
@@valjalava1951 this is a basic all-around good starter mix...... Most seeds don't require a whole bunch of fertilizer right up front.
There is enough in the mix already to feed them for well over a month ❤️
When we transplant them outside or we put them in a forever-home like a big pot, that is when we add the earthworm castings, the bat guano, the fertilizers and all that good stuff to really pump them up.
The compost and goodies already in the pro mix and Kellogg's mix do just fine for the seedlings
Can you advise us how long will you keep those seedling in the cup till they are big enough to be planted out door under direct sun
I do my first separation at about 30 days.....little boogers grow slow so it's about 90 days before I begin hardening them off.
Where is part 1
On the channel just before this I'm guessing LOL 😂
Its there. Just doesn't say part 1. I watched it! Good stuff! 😁
DO I LEAVE THE PLASTIC BAGS ON UNTIL THEY SPROUT? I JUST PLANTED 50 THE OTHER DAY AND THERE IS STILL CONDENSATION ON THE BAGS.
Yes. The moisture is what is required for germination.
As long as you have some cinnamon sprinkled in there with them, there should be no worry of rotting at this stage.
Once they start popping go ahead and uncover them ❤️
Hope this helps 👍
So you don’t need to get the seeds cold for a few months?
Nope 👍
Are there male & female differences amongst 🍓 plants, which are important to know?
Their absolutely are.
Some varieties of plants like most varieties of cucumbers or squash have both male and female flowers while tomatoes have them togeather.
Knowing your plants and their genders is very important when it comes to producing fruit or flowers. It is always a good idea to do a little bit of research on the plants you intend to grow to find out if they are male female or true breeding and have both.
Some varieties of fruit trees won't even pollinate themselves they must have a partner to do it.
What kind of grow lights?
There are four bulbs...2 of them are the 6500kelvin range blue white lights...and two 3500 kelvin red orange sunlight imitating bulbs. Bout $5 each at ace hardware 👍
@@murdocksmadnesspatriotgard5472probably a silly q
@@murdocksmadnesspatriotgard5472question but what did you plug the bulb’s into?
