I will be doing a longer video series called Gardening 101 exclusively on 2nd YT Channel My First Vegetable Garden. It can be searched with a digital table of contents. The series is geared to the first time vegetable gardener. Today’s episode is all about the basics of indoor seed starting.

Great interesting video
Great video Gary. I subbed and will be following!
You make sense! I like people who are real and genuine. Thankyou
Waaaay too many ads! Otherwise great.
Thank you for this great teaching. I am learning how to start a garden. And this video was great. It helps take away anziety and the learning curve. I'm gonna try this with my son.
I LOVE YOUR LOGIC, GREAT EXPLANATION! THANKS!
1:48 to 1:52 is great.
Wow. This is fantastic!!!
Organic seeds come from an organic farm with no pesticides and the non-organic are grown at a farm that uses pesticides. So there is a difference the only question is is how well do you trust the company that produces the seed.
I freaking love your talk about organic labelling. THANK YOU. Someone finally said it!
Thanks, this was very helpful. 🙂
Hi Gary. HELP! I tried starting seeds indoors in peat pellets, egg shells, & plastic cups. I place them in a east facing window, until I could set up the 4' – T8 light shelf unit. But I guess the light coming thru the window was not strong enough, so the plants are very leggy. Should I throw them out & start over, or can they be saved? Thanks
Loved all the info in 1 video.
You’re the best Gary! Last year I watched so many of your videos when I first started my vegetable garden. I find them so informative and accessible. Inspired by you, I’m trying to document my setup this year. Here’s my short seed starting video, you’ll see I’ve used the methods learned from you, your grow light setup, and your grow closet. Thanks so much for all your teachings 🙂 https://youtu.be/19gehM9JlrU
