Video: Seed Starting Demystified Pt. 3

Seeds are so amazing!

Have you been enjoying my seed starting videos so far? I hope so! It’s time for part 3 because I have more more information to share with you.

Here’s what you’ll find in the 3rd installment:

  1. an update on the lettuce seedlings
  2. when to fertilize young plants
  3. why you would want to thin seedlings
  4. an update on the old bean seeds tested last week
  5. when to start different types of vegetable seeds

If you’re wondering why I keep showing you the lettuce plants, that’s because I want you to see their progression. It’s pretty amazing to watch a seed sprout, then watch a tiny seedling grow. Before you know it, they’re ready to go out into the garden.

It’s important to fertilize your seedlings at the right time. Newly-sprouted seeds have a bit of energy to get the plants going. But it only lasts for so long. Once seedlings have some true leaves (mature leaves), they need some “food” to grow. I typically use a liquid nitrogen fertilizer, such as Alaska Fish Fertilizer.

I hope these videos have been helpful to you. It’s my goal to help you all be successful at growing your own plants! And don’t worry, I will have more information about seed starting in the coming weeks.
