direct seeding and transplanting

But tomato transplants did nothing. There are many plants that perform just fine or better if sown directly in the garden. Caring for seedlings from start to finish with a little extra personal attention can not only increase plant survival and health but also optimize your growing season while maximizing space.Seeds have almost everything they need inside them to germinate and thrive.

In the absence of lights with the proper spectrum I tried to grow my seedlings on a counter under halogen lights. Too far from the source they were no more effective than conventional lights. Most producers of transplants are very careful about this, especially with respect to diseases, but it is not uncommon to get a little grass or other weed seed into your transplant pack now and then. My last food garden was where the growing season was long and hot over 2 decades ago…maybe again someday?Thanks, David! Let your plants live out their life cycle before cleaning up. I have to go with the flow and do what works for me at that particular time.

I’m going to have to go back to sowing seeds in flats and transplanting them out in the garden. If you are worried about starting something in a pot or seedling tray for transplanting that is typically advised to be “directly sown” here are some tips: Choose a larger container.

Some caveats here: we live in a warm climate where you can direct sow almost anything unless you want to get an early start on tomatoes and peppers. Time planting so when one crop has reached the end of its life cycle there are replacement seedlings waiting in the wings for transplanting. Unfortunately its too cold where I live to direct seed tomatoes + peppers, squash etc.I so agree! OK, I direct seed carrots just fine.The irony is that when I tried to start heirloom tomatoes from seed that was a disaster since I don’t have any grow lights.

In fact, every square inch counts, which is another reason why I sow as many seeds as possible in trays or pots and transplant them out when ready.The saying, “sow little and often,” is one to live by, especially if you’re a small space gardener. But as we all know, this is also where promise can turn to frustration in an instant. What happened is that without grow lights they got so leggy they were virtually useless. For example, you’ll want to make sure your beet seedlings are a rough 2–4 inches apart so that each plant has room to make an average-sized beet. I’m as indecisive as Hamlet when it comes to this question. Carrots, sure, seeds. we have more reliable rainfall than Kansas (at least based on what I have heard on the news), but terrible soil, incredible weather fluctuations, at least this month, and then the bugs.For the past several years we’ve started our seeds inside under grow lights.

Then, the seedlings have to be gradually hardened off to the sun, outside temperatures and wind and then we are good to go!I learned my lesson this year. If it just gets hotter and dryer and increasingly flammable around here, at some point do you start looking at real estate elsewhere?I wonder the same thing myself, but I suspect Erik will want to stay here until LA is a pile of glowing cinders.I recently moved from Eastern Washington to Eastern Kansas. Even easier than direct seeding is letting some of your plants go to seed, then the next season you just find stuff growing. Much of your own decision about seeds versus transplants will come down to personal preference. One week after that, plant a tomato seed. Transplants and starts are essentially baby vegetable plants, usually sold in pots or packs of 4 or 6. To get good plant establishment, the farmer should check the seed quality, soil tilth, amount of seed, and expected availability of water. I’m also not second guessing my crop, waiting to see what might come up. Annuals, plants with large seeds, plants that require weathering, plants with fragile root systems and root crops being some.Seeds sown directly in the garden can grow where they’re planted. Learn tips for creating your most beautiful (and bountiful) garden ever. I soak all my seeds overnight, it helps a lot w/ germination and its a good idea to water everyday as it not like you can get away with the top drying out because the plants at the early stage do not have roots going deeper.
