    Love your channel! Very informative!! Do you have a video about the varieties of veggies that you grow that are heat tolerant?



  3. Beth Sands on July 9, 2022 at 10:17 pm

    I just got a mini greenhouse to put my seedlings in. I refuse to start seeds in the house. Of course I’m in Florida as well. You always have such great information. I love the market shelf. Thank you. πŸ‘πŸ˜ŽπŸŒ΄πŸŒ»πŸŒΈπŸ˜€πŸ˜ŽπŸŒ΄πŸ‘ – Liz

    My wife just got me a small greenhouse for Father’s day. What are good plants to grow in it now?

    Thank you



  9. Crystal Stephen on July 9, 2022 at 10:25 pm

    I was wondering if you have any videos on sowing in situ. Would it be inadvisable?



  10. Wild Floridian on July 9, 2022 at 10:26 pm

    Hope you and the baby are doing well! πŸ₯° I did laugh when you said avoid the harsh afternoon light…. I thought… well that’s me doing it backwards again πŸ˜‚

    Wonderful content. I am particularly interested in the slanted setup, that probably helps less leggy ness? I have a greenhouse in shade but seems like they can still get leggy if I’m not constantly rotating. Wondering if you rotate your trays occasionally? Thanks!

    Thank you thank you thank you! I am so glad you showed me this. I want to look for a shelf similar or build a pallet one or use wood ive found for cheap (I like free)

    Great video! I was wondering if I was starting my seeds Correctly. I have some little tomatoes about an inch high.
    And it seems to me that they have been this size for a month.
    So I was thinking about giving them a little fertilizer to help them on. But they are so tiny I am afraid of hurting them more than helping. They are the Everglades cherry tomatoes

    Thank you so much,
    I’ll practice you’re advice for produce my fresh vegetables from my house.

    I did grow seedlings first time outside but I put it under a tree and whenever it rains , I bring trays inside. But I did noticed holes in leaves and I never did any thing. Can I used neem on seedlings like diluted ?
    Thanks !!

    P. S : I look for Coast of Maine in stores everywhere no one sells it and when I try to buy on line from Ace hardware, they wanted to charge me for 10 bags like $500 for shipping only.

    Thanks again !πŸ€—
