Gardening: How to Start Seeds Indoors With A Hot House

Just because it's Winter doesn't mean you can't keep gardening! Spring is just around the corner, and you can get a jump start on your garden by starting seeds indoors. Patti is trying out some Amaranth seeds this year, and she's got some great tips to share about how to get them started, using a hot house, heating mat, and grow light for the very best results.

Oh come on patty! I just tried to watch the square foot gardening with Mel and not only is it for pay! which i didn't even know you tube even had, but we cant comment or thumb up with out paying! Not to be too rude but that is like saying we cant comment with out paying you off. If you or you tube want to silence complaints about the cost then your just pissing on your viewers.

@astrialkil Out of 195 videos that I have made and released, 3 of them you have to pay for. I'm not trying to piss anyone off. I am sorry if it did. Since the release of those 3 videos I have released 4 more free videos and I will continue to do so. In terms of the comment feature, I don't think that's my doing. I think that is done automatically thru youtube. I appreciate your support and passion for wanting more information on gardening and that you chose me.

Hello Gardengirl, im growing some Herbs indoors, from seed. About to have a couple thousand flower seeds...........my question is, I have some greenish/blueish stuuf on the top of my growing medium? What is it, and will it kill my seedlings? Is this normal? I would hate to think that this is "dampening off".............Help!! Thank you in advance!!

[GardenGirltv]

@posha2009 Probably harmless mold.

Good video... Thanks for not charging to watch it. I will not pay to watch anyones video... I feel that all videos should be free to watch on youtube.

[GardenGirltv]

@Athenaslife Your welcome. I would like to point out that these video's do cost money to make and without the support of viewers who learn and enjoy the work I do it is "unsustainable".

You should not be seeing 50% germination rate. I only grow heirlooms and I always get 90%. Most heirloom seed companies guarantee 80%

"heirloom seeds only have a 50% germination rate" ...ok .. time to move on to people who know what they are talking about... I prefer videos from everyday people rather than watching a TV show anyway.... when you come down to our level Patty ... that would be great. I hope you think about that ... I wonder...do you even watch everyday youtube videos ? enough with the slick and polished crap.. yeah I said crap

@Athenaslife I'm with you on this.....

After the seeds sprout up, do u put them in larger pots individually or something?

And do you still leave it indoors?

If it's left indoors should I use a heat light their whole growth process till its warmer to place them outside??

[MsTokies]

I had very little success using those style of starter kits for 2 years in a row.What worked best for me was 2 discarded magazine racks from a convenience store with adjustable shelves wrapped in plastic and vented. 4 inch Peat pots,8 inch pie tins,potting soil,and 2 thermometers.Place peat pots in pie tins and fill with water and let soak.Total cost,about $10.00 bucks! now 6 weeks later I,m ready to transplant.
