Because of you, Laura, I tried starting a few things from seeds for the first time EVER last year and I even ordered one of the seed starting kits from Gardener's Supply. Things went pretty well for my first time so I'll be planting lots more this year. I've ordered more kits but I'm not sure if I need to do anything specific to clean the wicking mat from the kit I used last year. I rinsed the mat decently before storing it but it's still looking pretty rough. What's the best way to clean these mats at the end of seed starting season? Thanks as always!

I'm starting too many to mention! 1st year flower farming! And market garden.
Getting ready for the season.
It feels like F I R E W O R K S!
I was once a former plant killer, I will admit it. I've had fun watching and learning with everyone. I really look forward to the upcoming year. New Homestead, starting a business with my best friend and I plan on hitting the ground running!
TFS Laura. I will start with 1. 6 acres to fill every space. It's a blank canvas. TFS Laura.

You should pinch the tip of sweet peas to make them side shoot. You should get one plant with 3 shoots on each. Leggy is not good. Also sweet peas don't need heat, as you have seen they just grow too fast. Here in England we sew sweet peas in January and as soon as you get r orc5 leaves you pinch tge tip out and you keep them in a cold frame till you are ready to plant out. You can also direct sew about April /May straight in tge soil. They are really hardy

Oh I love sweet peas, they were my mom's favorite flower and my dad always planted a bunch in his garden just for her, and I think this year I will be planting a row of them in memory of my mom, she would love that and then I can think of her when I see and smell them. Thanks so much for this seedling video it was a great one, I just wish that it was warmer here in Idaho so I could do this. I also love Foxglove they are such a beautiful flower.

Hi Laura! This is Sindhu. I love love love your videos and what you do and how detailed you are. You have given me a new hobby and its so satisfying. I just winter sowed some foxgloves and delphiniums - zone 6b, New Jersey. Just wanted to know if the foxgloves and delphiniums you planted in this video are expected to flower this spring? Or next?

Hi, I read that sweet pea and foxglove are very toxic to pets and animals, not really sure about humans. Have you any information about this? I have accidentally bought a bunch of different seeds and ran through the toxic list and I have now a few packets that i will not be planting. Really do not know what to do or how to dispose.

I love lisianthus! Never done from seed but maybe next year. I have limited space for seedlings so can never do all I want. I usually do my perennials after the annuals are done. Still enough time to get them planted and acclimated before the cold weather hits and then they are in place and ready to go for spring.

Question about the gardeners supply self watering seed starter:
I used this to start my seeds but it keeps the soil Very wet, do you keep the water and mat underneath it at all times or just until the seed sprouts? My mat is growing mold and my white rocks in the soil are turning green (its been 2 weeks)
