When Do I Start Different Seeds Indoors? – Start Dates & Timing Explained: Seed Starting Indoors 101
I show you how to identify the outdoor planting dates for cool and warm crops and use those dates to figure out when to start different seed varieties indoor. Starting times vary from 4 weeks to 12 weeks indoors for different plant varieties.

Getting excited for this year’s garden 😊 This system totally works for the cool weather crop scenerios but puts my warm weather crop date at June 30th when I put my warm weather crops in May 28th. Do you have a certain website that you use for the historic weather?
Thanks for this! Love your channel!
I just received my book 📖 and so excited to start reading it. I’ve learned so much about gardening from you this past year. I am looking forward to gaining more information about growing, fertilizing, and harvesting my crops. Thank you for sharing such valuable information with us. 🌱 🪴🥕
Wow
thank you for putting the Celsius in, it helps Aussies like me understand much better , happy new year and all the best in 2022
Gary, very well done! This is very helpful. Keep the videos coming!
I’ll start winter sowing soon. That’s what you do when you really can’t wait in zone 6b. Short of a prolonged period in the teens or snowmageddeon, the worst that could happen is I grow something.
Thanks for doing the homework for me. I’m just south of you in VA zone 7A. Looking forward to another excellent growing season and following your video journey. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for confusion….
Great content Gary here’s some user engagement
Ive followed your channel for some time and want to thank you for the great info on all things gardening.l have gardened many years and always had great success but I would keep finding little gems and tips in your videos. Now live in an apartment and will have two huge pots of brandywine tomatoes on my small patio.Though not actively gardening anymore l really enjoy watching your channel, so helpful as you are a great teacher.l know lm not the only one that enjoys compost and dirt.
Awesome video Gary. Great tips. I was out today gobbling up all the organic fertilizer clearance sales today. January focus is making paper planting pots & planning.
FYI if anyone is looking for the shelves to start plants go ASAP. They are sold out everywhere and most places saying no idea restocking date. Assuming part of shipping & shortages. Although I wanted the bigger setup to expand.
Gary are you doing a 🌱 sale this year? If you are do you have any items outside the old video as far as starts you would recommend?
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless you Gary ..

Thank you, but I do have a question. Where did you pull the May 15th date from and why? As a new gardener, I was using the Old Farmer’s Almanac for 2022, which is placing the last frost for Zone 7 on April 5. That’s the date I was calculating backward from to start seeds indoors. Could you kindly explain?
So very helpful thank you!
Does this apply when it comes to veggies and fruit as well?
I think folks really need to consider they need to get their seed orders in soon. Not just because of what you’re talking about but because so many folks who have turned to gardening recently ( covid ?) are buying up seeds much quicker then years in the past. Especially the fun and unique varieties. Good luck to all this season. 😃👍🍎🍐🌶🌽🥕🥔🍆🍅🍓
Thanks for sharing. We’re in zone 7 as well.
Great video to help new gardeners like me! Keep helping us new gardeners out! We appreciate it! Received your book . Thanks Gary.
Thank you Gary for this information, very helpful! Where do you easily find the historical data you were talking about? (Outside temps and soil temps) Thanks!
So exciting to be thinking about seed starting again 🌻
4:50
Another great vid! The timestamp for my reference
If you’re ever looking for new video topics, I’d love to see how you stratify seeds. I’m doing it for the first time this year, and there seems to be a lot of not very much information out there. If you know what I mean. I’m going to assume that’s because it’s a simple process with a lot of options. Some say dry. Some say wet. Some say paper towels, others peat moss, still others sand.
I’m going to use damp seed starting mix. Because I have a lot of it. Fingers crossed!
What are your thoughts on winter sowing?
Tried a 100 times to get historical soil temps for Georgia .. it’s not happening. We are not that advanced… even tried uga website. Nada. I guess I’ll have to go with your data because we have no data in Georgia. Frustrating. 😶
Thanks for the video. I still don’t quite understand the difference between cool crops 1 and cool crops 2. Could you clarify? You don’t mention both of the cool types in your other video.
These videos are invaluable
Thank you! So helpful, I took a screen shot as well…
I’m also in Maryland Zone 7, so I’ll be following to see when you start things. Have you grown Siberian tomatoes? I’m growing them for the first time this year, and I’m wondering if I’ll be able to put them out a little earlier than the other tomatoes.
How about doing a video on how to properly use a soil thermometer for the various species of garden crops.
I had better luck with searching " average temperatures of last decade in Ohio by month" than I did searching for historic temps. Great video, I’m always wondering about when to start flowers since I’m fairly new to starting them from seed. Rosemary and lavender grow so slowly for me, they’ll be started within the next few weeks! Or, as soon as I get my seed starting area in the basement cleaned up, lol.
I had an amazing first time garden last year. Can’t wait to step it up in 2022 summer.
Thank you
I heard in one of your recent videos that you wanna try a high tunnel or greenhouse on account of the weird weather. That’s a series that will be great. Show us bro!
This is the money video I’ve been waiting for! Unfortunately I’ll be moving from Nevada to Florida when I should be hardening off my seeds and planting them. Damn. Lol. I’ll just be a little behind this year! Thanks Gary!
I truly have tried to research for an answer. I only have room for shelving & grow lights in my unheated basement. With temps like they are it hovers around 50F. Is this too cool to start seed indoors even for cool-season plants (broccoli, kale, the like)? I’m in NC Zone 7 (Rockingham Co.)
Took a few tries but finally figured out because I’m in zone 6B I have to start my seeds indoor March I am definitely devastated because I am going through garden withdrawals
Wow 👍 thank you this is very helpful. 🙏
If we don’t start seeds by January in zone 9, it’s too late. Everything will get burned by the sun. We were at 87 today.
Thank you for this ,I’m a complete beginner,tried things last year but didn’t really know what I was doing!
I’m in NoVa and your videos are so helpful, especially since we’re somewhat in the same area! I know you’ve talked about transplanting beets before. Do you transplant turnips as well?
Happy New Year, Gary! Thanks for sharing this video, And ALL the EPIC knowledge this past year!🏆 Blessings to you from Chicago for a safe and prosperous 2022! 🙏😗🤗💗

Great video – thanks for all your help and Happy New Year from Oxford UK! xx k
This is why I love your channel brother you literally read my mind with this video post.
Thats how you know you’re actually in the trenches so to speak as opposed to some other garden youtubers. Respect.
My head is spinning from all that. I will have to come up with my own way to calculate.
Gary is a professional even putting Celsius in the thing for the rest of the world
Thank you for adding the temperatures along general time period. Nobody ever talks about temp with gardening. Not even many seed packets! Just "6 weeks before" or "after last" frost date. Lol
Thank you for including the Celsius equivalent!
No words. Thank you doesn’t begin to represent how I feel. For some reason this is how my brain thinks. You are a God send to my learning style. Bless you kind sir.
