a pack of seeds is 99 cents and you get a LOT of seeds, the price of water is pretty low where I live. failure isn't very costly. you are not allowed to count your time. gardening is fun. that's why we do it. you are not being judged on your end product. the reward is fresh air, exercise and mental health, not the number and size of your zucchini.

@@liztrotter725 Cool. I have mine in the front yard and exotic looking plants are rare in Idaho (naturally) and everyone walking by asks me what it is and gives a compliment. I plant in this area to bring the Monarch butterflies around. Something I stopped seeing in WA decades ago. I remember when I was young, my Gma (in Idaho) saying that the Monarchs were dwindling because the expanding farm fields would always wipe out the milkweed that the butterflies loved. I even had a strange experience with a hummingbird after I planted those flowers. I had never seen them around before. In fact, I'd never seen one at all before. Anyway, I saw that their coming to that flower had been awhile so I cut the dead heads off and that really brought out the scent and they came back. So one day I was hand watering the lawn and you'd think an animal would be shy of the water, especially a skittish bird but a hummingbird came right up to me and just hovered there in front of me for the longest time. So I finally said, "are you thanking me for the flowers?". It was such a silly thing to say but when have you ever had an animal come right up to you and just stay there! Lol.

So I'm going to give unsolicited advice based on my experience this year. I am garbage at watering properly anything other than one plant at a time. But I set up a shoe organizer garden this winter inside my house on a wall opposite a nice big window. And the first few seedlings died because of this issue. But I found a thing about filling jars with water and using cotton wicking rope to water. Got my first ever successful dill, oregano, thyme etc. In my shoe organizer I put jars down the center set of pockets. Cut the rope to where it fit neatly into the bottom of each plant and into the bottom of each jar. Then tucked the ropes in, and poured water into the jars. I could see when it needed water, it watered each plant without much involvement from me. And I forgot to water it for over a week and it was fine. The water was just empty instead of only half full. I would highly suggest using a similar jar and wicking method for indoor gardeners if forgetting to water is an issue

Potatoes ought to be on this list. I've had more than my share of gardening frustrations and failures over the years, but potatoes are hands down the easiest crop I've ever grown. You can either buy seed potatoes, or just take any potatoes from the store that have sprouted on their own and put them in the ground. They can be planted early in the season, and multiple times in the year due to their fast maturation. They're highly resistant to deer and groundhogs, since the plant is toxic. They require very little water, and don't like being overwatered. They can easily be companioned with kale and other leafy greens, or anything else that has shallow roots. The only challenge is that potatoes are heavy feeders, and they grow best in loose (and preferably acidic) soil, so you still need to work and properly amend the soil. That said, they'll grow fine in compost. You can easily grow them in containers, as long as the container is big enough. I would recommend potatoes to any beginner.

A little something for other container gardeners, making their own mix: expanded rock. It won't rise like perlite, or put a lot of dust in the air. But, vermiculite!, you say. Yes, but it compacts, which can lead to dry areas, unseen from the top. I found some expanded shake at a local landscaping supply store. It's heavier, but otherwise great as a replacement for perlite or vermiculite. At the end of the season, it's all still dark, damp, and filled with bugs, right down to bottom of the container.

love this vid bro, turnips are easy to grow also. i hate turnips though lol. i grew a couple a few months back ehhh. but it is very beginner friendly. made some turnip fries also. werent that bad. If i wasnt conditioned to potato fries i wouldve probably enjoyed them more. I still grow the turnips but only for their greens. i dont eat the turnips, give them away to anyone who wants them. Raddish is pretty good, if you get a bunch of seeds by chance really good source of nutrients if harvested as micro-greens (usually 10 days max from planting). With respect to that i guess all seed variants considered a micro green are easy growers when it comes to growing the plant out completely. as far as onions go, once the roots come out and you see some green you can grow onions in a cup of water if it comes down to it honestly. You can cut and regrow the onions also. Sweet potatos is also semi easy but i havent seen your intermediate vid yet, going to that one next.

I probably should have watched this BEFORE buying seeds. No regrets though! When I knew I'd be able to have a garden this year I was so excited and I look at my seeds and have enjoyed them already! I'll remember these for my next order though!

I have been getting ready to plant some Borage in my garden for a few weeks now. I just found out yesterday that it's a dangerous carcinogen!

For tomatoes - I'd recommend some kind of cherry tomatoes. My first year gardening I had some troubles with my romas, low yields with other larger tomatoes, but my indeterminate cherry tomatoes went absolutely gangbusters. I seriously can't wait to start them this year. I had to cut the tops off my plants when they got got tall enough I wouldn't be able to reach them, later in the season I stopped picking off the suckers and just let them go, two of them ended up snapping the giant bamboo poles I had them fastened to.

Awislyle. My same experience with tomatoes.. And when fall comes on strong, uproot the plants and hang them indoors upside down on a nail or hook. You'll get the rest to ripen after nature brings on the snow.

They're also great, especially heirlooms, for using like herbs. I can grab a handful every few days. Some of the weaker producers, like Black Cherry and Chocolate Sprinkles, will keep producing until the frosts kill them, which here, is usually well into December. IMO, that's a good trade off for not having buckets dulling late summer, only to die quickly later on. I also like less sweet varieties, personally, and that seems to be part of what they breed many of them for.

Beyond a kit, which is a wonderful option, it would be great if each seed packet sold online said if it was best suited for beginner, intermediate, or advanced gardeners.

I tried to grow radish and it's been two months and they are the size of peas 😶 I'm going to try again, I'm not discouraged! I tried to grow them in a salad box (6 inch tall) so maybe that was the problem?

6 inches is plenty, but they seem to be sensitive to growing conditions. I can't verify it, but I've read that high nutrient soil/mix leads to smaller ones. I usually get about half the size of grocery store ones, myself.

Thanks so much for the video and explanation of why. I grew beans and potatoes as well as tomatoes for my first garden. Do I need to rotate where I planted them this next year?

Hmm. I bought lots of carrots for a 'fall' garden but only got some little ones. I will try a window box of the parisian ones

I have never been able to grow sage! It always dies on me. I also think you should grow what you eat the most and if thats something challenging like long root carrots then you need to learn quickly about soil quality and that will benefit you long term anyway!

I did not know you sell your own seeds! I will have to buy from you from now on since I never seem to get my seed orders to show up from Amazon and its rather frustrating.
