Are you on vancouver island?
Hi how are you, just wanna let you know I found your Chanel about a month ago and have been watching non stop. I am in New York and I’m so happy that I finally found someone in a similar climate. You have inspired me and I will grow indoors this year.
If you`re like me, on SSI with no transportation, the value of access to fresh vegetables changes. I`ve spent around 600 dollars to have indoor vegetables.
If you’re just starting out gardening in 2021, this inexpensive set of tools from Amazon can get you and your Veggies up and running this spring! I know there is a fevered and renewed interest in gardening and many of you are seasoned vets. But remember that there’s a whole population out there that hasn’t gardened before. Let’s help them out and encourage as much as possible!

Good wark
on 2022 I proposed myself to get a hobby and this is it. I’m so excited. I already have some sweet pepper growing indoors. I think cilantro it’s going to be next! Thank you for this video!
BAGUS iis good… TQ for sharing
How do you overwinter that rosemary in Canada?
those pots didn’t have holes so you have more options.
In Chinese cuisine, pea shoots/flowers are often used instead of the pea pods. I’m going to try growing them indoors this fall!
Thank you! I am new at this and have learned so much from your videos.
You stated that lettuce needs full spectrum lights. I grow lettuce under 5000k shop lights, is there some reason full spectrum would be better? Also, I have yet to find a sterile potting mix, what brand do you use? I have been saturating all of my potting mix with boiling water before I bring it indoors and it takes a lot of extra time. Thank you for the video.
Wish you had shown more about the infrastructure.
Where are the other 2 videos for growing potatoes indoors? 🤔
I don’t wait for the pea plants to produce peas, I harvest the leaves and use them in salads. They taste exactly like the peas and are a nice fresh addition to a salad. So I get two harvest from the one plant. And they will grow outside in a more rain than snow winter in a bucket and a cage with some row cover fastened around. They are pretty hardy. Note to self: deer love them too.
This chanel saves me 🙌🏾❤️ This is therapy❤️ Thank you, if ever in Sweden so let people se that it is so easy and amazing for all of us to grow food. I give away to all I can. Onley buy what I can’t grow 😅🙌🏾❤️
Helpful video, thanks!
Can you do a video on growing Saw Tooth Coriander ( Long leaf Culantro) please. I have tried in the past but no success. Thank you Jeff. Best wishes to you and your family
Great video Jeff! It’s almost time to move indoors here; we have 4 or 5 days of subfreezing nights expected at the end of next week. I need to hurry up and harvest the last winter squashes and peppers and drain the outdoor water system!!!
I’m growing some of the crops you mentioned but also greens. I want to eat a microgreen salad daily so no lettuce. Growing mustard, collards, arugula and chard to eat as baby greens. Love sugar snap so I’ll try those and bush beans. Will be growing hydroponically. Big winter project. Wish me luck!😀
Have you tried tiny Tim indoors yet? I have most greens going but testing out the Tim’s this year.
i love the cold and no bugs right?
Question about growing cilantro and green onion indoors. Will they germinate in a window or do you need grow lights for those two? Thanks for the tips. I normally grow Basil only indoors over the winter but am going to try the green onion, chives AND cilantro as we love all of these throughout the year. Thanks again.
I am learning so much from you! Thank you so much
Great content thank you.
How often do you have to change soil?
Can you extend the life of soil by rotating plants?
Another AMAZING video ty💜💜💜
As someone who is new to creating videos, I appreciate the work u put in editing and concept 🙏
Which growing region are you?
Jeff we love your videos! Would you consider making a video about growing lettuce indoors? In particular, I’d like to see how you do it with a grow light and heat mat. Thanks for considering!
You always make my day.
Just bought some micrograms today.
Thanks!
How do you keep all these plants growing inside together, yet they have different temperature requirements for germination and cultivation?
Great video btw!
Obsessed with every video I’ve watched so far. Thanks for bein the plant dad I needed! Gonna try to grow my first indoor garden this winter, in Zone 5 so definitely excited!
Thanks for the very inspiring video. I am a DIYer, do you think I need to buy sterile potting mix, or can I make my own with Coco coir plus… – in other words, is compost necessary in the mix, you think?
I cant seem to grow cilantro in Oregon. I have tried every year😞😢
i have indoor grow lights, how much light do they need a day?
You have helped me so much with my indoor greenhouse. My husband thinks I’m crazy but I KNOW what’s coming to our food chain so I’m going to feed my family REAL non GMO foods. Thank you!
I wish I had seen this last january when I planted my inside potatoes. I drowned them not realizing I needed to have a drain. live and learn.
POV: I’m successful coz I can put a seed in the ground
I grow lettuce and tomatoes for years now. In my greenhouse. Very simple!
Did you make your own indoor sterile potting mix? If so, can you share your process?? I enjoy your channel very much because I’m a hands on learner. Thank you so much. GOD BLESS you and your family
This is amazing. Thank you for the tips!
Where did you buy the aluminum looking sheet in the back?
I really like your channel
I tried growing basil indoors one time and it attracted fruit flies what would you all suggest? Thank you so much!
We had our first hard frost last night. Leeks, and potatoes will be coming out today. I will definitely be trying an indoor garden this year.
I watched your video. The videos are beautiful. Video quality is very nice but like view subscribe is very low, another is more, if you have you can be a professional youtuber. Do you want to be a professional?
We can talk about how this can happen…
Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge and making it so fun and interesting! I’m subscribed. Ready to begin my gardening journey and tap into my roots!
Very informative video. I wish I could like it twice.
Jeff,,,you are such a wealth of information! Just love your channel! 🇨🇦💕
Good information there. Just wondering why non-drilled pots are such a bad idea? As long as you don’t overwater then it should be fine? I recycle 1l milk cartons and add to them as I use them, but I don’t pierce the base. 14 fit on one windowsill and I have a 3 part propagator on another, and a mini herb pot on yet another! It’s amazing how much you can grow in a small space.
Good tip on the green onions, we call them spring onions over in the UK, I think I’ll have to sort a mini indoor garden for my elderly parents, Dad loves spring onions and radishes, rocket etc.
