    Thank you for this video! These are all mistakes I will try to avoid as a beginner!😅 Overwatering is something that I struggle with. I have parsley seedlings that I am growing indoors that I haven’t watered in a week and they seem to be doing well. The next thing is fertilizing and knowing when to. I will start thinking about that. Keep the videos coming! ❤🌿

    I tried it for the first time last year and I thought. &quot;Wow they are growing so fast&quot; Then I learned what &quot;leggy&quot; is. They were all ruined.

    3rd year gardner here, and definitely took away great tips! Much better grasp of how to approach growing transplants this year. 🙏🏽🤞🏽

    I have been starting seeds indoors for almost 20 years and I have made every one of those mistakes at one time or another LOL. &nbsp;But not now as I learned from my mistakes! &nbsp;Learning about the fan trick was a game changer for me with my tomato seedlings and I started using one about 12 years ago any it made a huge difference in the strength of my tomato stems.

    I have become a very good amateur gardener over the past 20 years. I have learned more from you this morning in only four of your videos than I have learned from all other YouTube channels in the past year. I am so highly impressed. I appreciate your knowledge, your personable openess, and how clearly you teach without wasting my time. Please accept my appreciation. God bless you for your passion and I hope you prosper. I am sending several of your video links to my novice gardening friend who will benefit soooo much from your teachings.

    I&apos;m eager to get some new plants growing again, as well as continuing to manage those that I&apos;ve had since last year and they survived the winter. For now, I&apos;m working on morning glories and green beans that will eventually go to my garden, and I have a number of baby blackberries that came from a rotting fruit I buried one day as an experiment.

    Fantastic, &nbsp;Excellent. &nbsp;Learned a lot! &nbsp;Thank You. &nbsp;Keep up the good work. Many people are suddenly interested &nbsp;in growing their own food.

    Thankyou so much for the videos. I’ve become completely reliant on your videos, and my garden wouldn’t be half of what it is without your expertise 🙏
