Wonderful video, your kindness always shines. Your videos are very much appreciated.
What a great video. I’ve taken your advise on many herbs. I must state the only one I can’t seem to grow is cilantro. I’m gonna try the paper towel method. Many blessings to you.
so for indoor growing you cant just get a potting mix, you have to have an indoor mix? ive just been using regular potting soil mix not an indoor one, should i be worried about bugs and switch it out?
Hey my brother from another mother, looking for your grow light link you mentioned? Am I just missing it?
Great video Jeff (especially for beginners) packed with good info. Well done mate. Cheers
fantastic thank you..i’m doing it now
In the video you said you’d include a link for lighting which I greatly need. Can you help please?
Thanks for a great video. Lots of great information. Have a great weekend Jeff.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍🍻
Awesome video Jeff!!! We need to teach the younger generations how to start doing this so they can be more self sufficient. We never know what will happen from one day to the next. Sorry was late busy weekend.🙂
🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
great video! thank you for all the wonderful information. I’m excited to try it this winter. Do you recommend using grow bags for the indoor herbs?
The effort you put into these videos is outstanding.
Thank you. My daughter is anew gardener that doesn’t like to ask mom 😊. I shared it with her. If she doesn’t want one during winter, I’m sure it’ll be helpful in the spring. Wisconsin is a very cold state
Great video! Quick question though from a brand new gardener… did you put a liner or anything in those buckets where you had your herbs? Or did you just fill them up with soil? I would love to know where you got those buckets and that tray too! Thanks
The snow storm killed my rosemary in Feb (Arkansas usually doesn’t get a week of snow!!) But I had cuttings inside. Now her babies are thriving again outside… will probably bring a few cuttings inside to propagate for just in case🥰
😀 Thank you, Jeff! Hope I can make it! 🙏💓
We are in U.S. Zone 4a Our parsley has come back every year for the past 6 years. The dill has spread from its raised bed to the yard and the edge on the driveway.You should smell that after I mow lol! I think the original seed was planted 8 years ago. I started sage this past spring from seed. The seed came from Italy and is supposed to be good to minus 30 degrees F. It was from the Piedmont area. I had started the same seed many years ago and the plants lasted about 15 years then they died out. I took cutting off my 2 rosemary shrubs to save buying them again. I hope it works…never have done it before. I did 6 rose bush cutting too for my wife…we’ll see how that turns out too. A Huge thumbs up for this vid. I always enjoy your knowledge. Take care!
Another great video ty. Starting my indoor adventures tomorrow. Other than cover crops do you do anything special to put pots & beds to rest for winter?
Herbs have quickly became my favorite kind of plants.
I do the "single file" method with my indoor herbs. For things like dill & cilantro I do succession planting so I’ve always got a pot or two ready to use.
Basil is a great indoor plant that keeps producing over & over. When the plants get 5-6 sets of leaves I top off the upper 3 sets & put those into a cup of water to sprout. Those become my next crop of basil plants. Lather, rinse, repeat for endless basil…and pesto, which is easy to make & stores in the freezer indefinitely. 😋
Jeff, ever wonder why so many gardeners watch your videos? They get results! You are indeed a public servant! More please.
Thanks for the great detailed info. I plan on growing some herbs in my south- facing kitchen window this winter. I’m planning on using a clip-on single “stem” grow light to supplement the weak winter sunlight. I’ll try to root cuttings from my outdoor thyme and oregano and seed the rest. Now to figure out which containers to use.
Thank you for the tip!
Yess 🙌
yo whats sup?
I have a indoor grow kit that has a water reservoir and a wicking mat. I’ll be growing leafy greens and a few herbs. Is the wicking system good enough? Thank ya! Great video! I feel like this video was made for me based off our messages on Facebook 😂
Sunny window up here in Ontario = dead herbs LOL I always have to use an LED in the fall winter and early spring!
Thanks Jeff, this is just what was needed. Peppers just sprouted too!! 100% germ on Arapaho peppers thanks to your tips from previous videos.
Thanks Jeff for all your help this year.I had great ginger and turmeric and sweet potatoes harvest, all fresh your instructions.
Great! went to the link and got a lightning deal on 2 grow lights 🙂 hope it helps ya just a little man, thanks for the great vids.
Thank you! Great information. Can you grow spinach indoors for the winter?
Thanks Jeff, lots of great information here. I did try rooting my rosemary in water but it didn’t work. I’ll try again in soil this time. Wish me luck.
Very nice 👌👌👌
Awesome video! Thanks for all the encouragement!
Love this video. You’re so clear at explaining the process. I love how you’re bringing oregano back. 😁 I cook with it all the time. One herb that I just couldn’t find at any nursery is MARJORAM. It is a staple in my Slovak kitchen…but I just cannot find it at any nursery for several years now. So I have tried to grow it myself…without success. This year I had a great outdoor container herb garden…except for my marjoram. I have tried to grow it indoors…Also no success. I have the grow lights on a timer, the soil, the drainage…U mean you are a great teacher…BUT! NO SUCCESS. Argh…it is my favourite spice….what am I missing?
Would parsley be grown in the same way as cilantro? Seeded heavily?
