Awsome!!! Good to know!! I've been watching you since 2020 when I really got into starting our own garden, we started with like a 6×6 spot in the corner on the yard and now our garden each year takes up about half our yard now
,Great 👌👌👍👍
I fertilize right from germination and I definitely see a difference. I use both a slow release and water soluble.
Always learning here 😊❤
❤😊🌱😊❤
Happy Sunday.
I'm confused. You said equal NPK, but the video showed 0.6 – 0.2 – 0.6 on the label …?
Good tips!
I really want to see a boost in my peppers and tomatoes this year . Logging all the info I get here .
I have tried to grow peppers here in Montana but sadly I haven't had much success. Your video gave me some much insight. Jeff can you give me any advice on where to buy short season vegetable seeds. I live in the mountains of Montana with a very short growing season. Thanks for your videos! God bless !! ❤❤
Great
Thank you
I used to have great success with bell peppers; but, the last couple of years not so much. I still have pepper seeds from last year and I'm debating whether or not to try again. Also, I have not been succesful at overwintering pepper plants. I do not have a garage.
It's too early to start seeds; but, I have so many new seeds to consider.
I much prefer to just water every time with a very dilute solution. About 1/4 tsp of 20-20-20 per gallon of water
yup! that's what I've been doing every year and i always have abundance of fruits. thank you for sharing Jeff 😊
