I've had some really great success with the potted plants when I started.
I didn't think I could grow anything in my soil,
it looks like the California desert wasteland
I dug a hole and put a kale and broccoli in the grown and my god they were massive.
I have not clue where they're getting the water from. But they adapted!
Then next season I wanted to try peppers cause I love em, only the chili pepper took though
I never had any the first season cause I didn't take care of them at all and I took to long to harvest.
However, they dropped to the ground just like in nature.
Now I have a macho chili pepper that I think loves the area too much.
It friggin thriving even though it grew in the Socal winter.
Next year I wanted to try some unique things and got a watermelon and Cucumber.
Both also took prolifically and vined EVERYWHERE!
It was so gnarly it took over the whole chicken fence!
I wanted to harvest the melon when all my family was present but it never ended up happening and I missed out on tasting my melon.
To my pleasant surprise though I found a weird fuzzy plant popping out of my new lettuce bed.
Then it dawned on me.
THIS IS WHERE THE MELON DECOMPOSED!
COOL!

Thats really interesting you mention pick the best looking (I might have not recalled the right words but you get the gist. I mean that is my motto in most of the areas from my life, but Ive heard someone mention smth not that far ago, which kinda stayed with me. That is picking (in this nature realm) the worst looking ones (ofc not a dead one. I mean I got the reasons that well they might die if nobody takes care of them (nursery included. I mean thats quite a wonderful accomplishment to have a plant on near to the death bed and revive it. But have you ever done that, and had any problems with those plants? Or have you heard any horror stories. Im asking cause I happened to buy a basil. To be fair I didnt stay ages to pick it in this case I kind of picked it bc I trusted the brand. Tho once I got home I realized it had some type of pests in the soil. All in all I immediately changed the soil (I used cacti soil since I only had that on hand right then) tbh it wasnt shining until I added some root fertilizer and damn now is the star of my show. Is like a massive spawner (when you mentioned that it made me think of it and wonder about how come you believe in that and if youve heard any outside stories)

I usually agree with everything that Kevin recommends however in this case I'd say I would recommend starting your own seeds even if you are a beginner. It is cheaper, you can get multiple plants at once and doing a bit of research only you can find out a lot about when to start them and how. Plus while it does take time (cuz you have seeds vs a baby plant from the nursery) after sowing the seeds early in the year you just have to wait (can put them in a corner of a sunny room and wait. Also maybe I'm saying this bc of my experience, you never know what you're bring home as far as pests from a nursery. Whereas if you start them at home you can control that. I spray them with a very diluted neemoil solution every Saturday and my seedlings are always healthy; )
So again, just sharing my opinion there. But Kevin I still like and enjoy your videos and appreciate all the knowledge you transfer!

I was just there! I live in the neighborhood. This nursery is wonderful. The cat is the sweetest and chillest Ive ever come across in my life. Her name is Critter. Its been very hot lately so shes shedding like crazy and mostly just sleeping under shady spots. When I came home I was covered in cat hair, I pet her so much LOL! I also love seeing all the different chickens freely walking around the property. Sometimes I would turn a corner and a chicken would be walking out the door, and i & anyone else around me always yield for the chicken after you, miss. Plants do sell fast at this nursery so now Ive learned as soon as I see something I might like, I just buy it right then!

Hi, I am a new gardener, however I am in Edinburgh, Scotland in the uk. And I have followed most of your tip for starting out and all my flowers and veg seeds have came up, about 6 different herbs and 5 kinds of flowers. And 4 veg just to try. I made newspaper pots to save money, And I am now harding them off for for pots the garden. As it's not very big. Thank you so much you have been a great help, never to much jargon. And the look at your last frost date was an amazing piece of information. I now watch everyone of you uploads. Thank again x

Yessss I always check every plant and see
How many plants are actually in each container. They are supposed to only have one but the other day I found one with four good black beauty zucchini plants it was like three bucks. I was stoked. Also so I didnt ruin the roots I shook off as much dirt as possible then swirled the roots in some clean room temp water. I did that so I could see the main root thats hidden beneath all those tiny roots so I knew where to cut just to get them separated then teased out all the roots and planted.

5: 28 The best way is to soak your root binding bundle in a tray of water. this will make it easier to take apart, i find.
.
6: 12 over 3/4 of my seeds are:
1) dead blanks and don't sprout
2) die in the seed tray
3) die in their new transplanted raised beds
4) become victims to Squirrels, moles, birds, mice
5) die from over watering or underwatering.
I prefer to have my plants have a head start. and get them good at the nursery. they aren't expensive. and they always produce food.

I grow stuff from seeds that can be planted directly into the soil. Tomatoes and peppers, eggplants, they do better if you can start them earlier indoors. Cucurbits (melons, cucumbers, squash) do well from seed, and so do cole crops, but I don't grow many of those, so I don't want a whole packet of seeds, so I get starts. It is surprising how much abuse starts can take when you separate them. But you need to keep them moist while they get established in good loose soil.

Several years ago, needing to quickly fill a newly built garden, I bought a collection of annual flowers as plug plants. They were on offer but it still felt like a bit of a guilty indulgence since they weren't perennials. However, those original plants have self seeded every single year since with absolutely no input from me apart from occasionally moving a seedling to a better spot, so it turns out they were a complete bargain!

Awesome job. Great tips. I'm waiting to get my hazard pay so I can rent a rota tiller to get my corn seeds in. I'm in a new rental with perfect open yard. I only want to grow things I won't need to kill when I leave. Our housing for our tribe makes us cut trees & plants and I can't have a permanent fence. My plan is to block out my neighbors (I live in a bad neighborhood) even if it's temporarily.

stressing your plants intently is something we often do in regards to aquatic plants. trimming the root system in my experience simply promotes new growth and allows the plant to imbed itself in its new home. This is very common practice in nearly all circles/groups ive encountered in regards to aquaria. yet all the gardening advice I come across is completely contrary. it just seems odd to me.

I wish I had that many options in the nurseries Here in Turkey you can only find certain seedlings and they are generally just labeled tomato, peppr, etc. you don't know the variety. So I am starting everything from seed to have different varieties. But, since it is my first year gardening, I had a hard time planning and am a little behind, my seedlings are tiny! Love your videos: )

Thank You Kevin!
Very helpful tips.
However, I have been learning how to start from seed, as the food starts I can find around me are not organic, or if I do find some at the market, they don't seem to ever make it past transplanting, even though I'm careful with roots, use best soil, etc!
(My organic Meyer Lemon seeds I germinated are coming up yAy!

One thing Ive found with always buy the larger one is that you really dont want ones that are already flowering or have started to set fruit, though, esp with squash. Even if they arent root-bound, they dont perform as well over the season if you dont get them in the ground while theyre young. And the tomatoes tend to not get as large.

Gotta thank you for this great tip! Ive always just assume they all would be the same. but this past Saturday, BJs had some very affordable herbs and one of the pots actually had two plants. whick I reported separately. One went to my container and the other one in a fancy pot. =) 1. 50 per plant for a gorgeous Red Rubin Basil! Awesome!
