The new Vego seed starting supplies look great. However I am curious how the top watering hole works for watering the seedlings. It might get clogged due to the soil but then I would just mist the seedlings and bottom water as normal. Thanks for keeping us updated on those supplies. They look very durable. Thanks again!
Super excited for my first year to do seeds. I’m doing Zinnias, Strawflowers & Gomphrena(the easy ones) Oh boy-Forgot-Me-Not(😮I’m in zone 5b Toronto/Canada they will go everywhere & it’s definitely a perennial for us & been pulling it out for years & years!!) Same with Lily of the valley (very invasive & a nuisance) I guess in some zones flowers obviously grow differently, I just say beware of those two in particular. I absolutely love love your garden and I’m doing Gomphrena because of your lovely purple ones.
How do you know how many to pot up & I don't know what starting kits to start with. I like the one you used, but how many do you know to plant? Why am I confused
My first year winter sowing last night 10 jugs. I’m excited to see what will happen
New subscriber!! I'm in zone 10a, but trying to learn more about flower sowing. I look forward to binge watching to gleen.
I love your videos. Thank you. Yes, I start way more than needed and you are right, it takes a ton of work and space after you bump them up into larger containers.
Love your videos! So inspiring! Thanks 😊
First & foremost Rocco is soooo stinking’ cute!!! ❤️❤️The custom birdhouse is adorable & maybe you should store it indoors for now for your FUTURE greenhouse?! 🤔👏🏼
Thanks as always for the seed starting inspiration. Waiting on a few more seeds to be delivered but hope to get started this weekend for my Johnny’s seeds. Will do the winter sowing. I’m really looking forward to the poppies and celosia!🤞🏼I also ordered seeds of Cephalaria Gigantea (giant scabious)…they get up to 8 ft. tall! Found out about them on Cotto Verdi’s channel. Have you heard of them?

First time indoor seed sower here. I've started Sea Holly, Snapdragons and Bach Button indoors in potting mix. No heat mats. Have seen sprouting after 3 days. Zone 6B
I’m so curious how that watering system will work with the domes.
That birdhouse is so beautiful. What a thoughtful gift!
We love your at home editions too. I made the potatoes with the smoked paprika and everyone loved them. I can’t wait to make the pot roast.
Beautiful bird house. Put it outside so birds get to enjoy it.
Where did you get the container that you use to store your seed packets?
Loved this video spent with you Steph thank you 🙌🥰 from the Land Down Under 🇦🇺🐨🦘💌💐
I'm starting this year of geraniums seeds🩷🪻🌱🩷
Flowers anonymous yes I am an over seeder. I’ve started 800 or so or sow so far. Just potted up my Lisianthus yesterday. Also potted up my tomatoes, petunia and coleus. Zone 9a Austin. Last frost date is February 25. It’s a beautiful day here today 64 degrees and a good rain this morning.🌸
Put your birdhouse outside in the shade as the roof is metal and as you know they will heat up in the sun.
I was just looking through my seeds this morning and dreaming of spring, so we are on the same page!
Great flower selections! I also am using the Vego seed starters and will not plant more than I need because I know I'll kill the rest. I'd rather save the seed for future years. I think you should use the birdhouse outside if it would help the local birds. If not, keep it inside. 😁
Those Vego seed trays look so cool Steph! I hope they work well for you! 🤞🤞
Steph- have you done violas as winter sowing before? I just put out a jug of them this week.
Hi Steph! Wow that’s a beautiful birdhouse. I wonder if rubbing wax on the plate would keep it looking good longer. The birds are going to love it. I haven’t started anything yet. Great video.❤❤❤
very informative thank you
I’m new to the seed starting ,I am just starting a few of each I don’t have a big garden . Wish me luck 👩🏻🌾
Awesome gift!
So sweet of your follower! I'd put it outside for sure and bring it inside for the winter 🐦🪺💐🌸
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your winter sowing video last year is what inspired me to try this year and I have 20 or so containers sitting in the snow. Also, the watering feature on those domes looks terrific; I wonder, though, why the large cells need a humidity dome. And that bird house is fabulous – what about under your porch (where your swing sits)? But I think it will stand up to the weather just fine. Oh, and I can't help but plant too many seeds even when I try, but I got them all in the ground before it froze – the perennials, anyway. Looking forward to seeing your glorious garden again!
😊
I have a true hate relationship with deer where I live. They eat absolutely everything!!! I have an enclosed area.. they do eat everything on the ends not the center, thank God. When it’s not deer it’s squirrels. Uuuur! Any recommendations?
😊
I’m a chronic overseeder! Last year I had so many geraniums and rudbeckias that I gave to my niece and sister. Trying hard this year to just seed what I need. I’ve done 12 winter sowing jugs and have more to do. Happy Gardening!
I love look of forget me not ! But they ruin my front yard ! 😢they took I e my grass ! We are digging it up this year ! It so bad so bad ! 😢 never again
Yes, I have started white echinacea, geraniums, geum, Gaura, lavender, rosemary, hollyhocks, lettuce, spinach, I have lots outside wintersowing as well, poppies, Shasta daisy , lupine, delphinium, sweet peas. I Love it! Gives me something to do…. The bird house is great love the license plate roof. Very nice of that viewer. Happy gardening!
I love the birdhouse
I wonder if my hubby can make me one🤔 great video. I'm going to try and grow flowers from seed this year I don't really have good luck😒I'll
See what happens 🌻🙂
Hi Steph. I’m just doing a litter winter sowing this year, being more particular on what to choose. I’ll probably start the beginning of March, end of February. What a beautiful, thoughtful gift! I think I would use it outside 🐦
I just tonight in fact did winter sowing in 11 jugs! I was so excited to get those going. I still have yet to order a few more seeds but I hear you-it’s so easy to get carried away isn’t it? So glad you received the package!! I’d say hang the birdhouse outside. Most people that we have made them for (friends and family) say that they usually get wrens that take up residence. They do sing so sweetly too. Hang in the shade if you can. there are vent gaps under the edge but shade is best for sure. OMG-I loved seeing sweet Rocco too. This video has me excited about spring-and you are right, we are almost there!! 🙂
Hey Steph! Got my new VEVO shelf yesterday and I’m excited! Now I want to try those seed trays!
The bird house is such a lovely gift! That was so thoughtful.
I think the birdhouse should go outdoors 🙂
