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. "Wow they are growing so fast" Then I learned what "leggy" 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. But not now as I learned from my mistakes! 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'm eager to get some new plants growing again, as well as continuing to manage those that I've had since last year and they survived the winter. For now, I'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.

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 🙏
