Description
Get your fall garden off to the strongest possible start! In this video, I’ll show you how to start fall vegetable seeds successfully and avoid the common seed-starting mistakes that can leave you with weak, leggy, or dying seedlings.
We’ll talk about which cool-season vegetables you can start now, when it’s still too hot to sow certain crops, and which vegetables are better direct-sown in the garden. I’ll also show you how I prepare my seed-starting mix, plant my fall seeds, use humidity domes correctly, prevent damping off, and water seedlings from below.
Whether you’re starting broccoli, cabbage, onions, or other cool-season vegetables, getting these first few weeks right can make a huge difference in the plants you put into your fall garden.
Don’t wait too long—fall gardening season moves fast, and getting your seedlings started at the right time gives them the head start they need.
