Oregano, Sage & Thyme: Seed Starting, Transplanting & Acclimating Outdoors - The Rusted Garden 2013

Tips, Tricks

1. Looks great! Sorry if I missed this in an earlier video, but do you have a heater near your herbs when germinating? I plan on picking one up tonight, recently started basil genovese, chive, sweet basil, cilantro, parsley, lavender, sag, and thyme; all are covered under my grow lights and I am starting to see some action on the chives and thyme
2. HI Gary , i watched all your sage and herb vidoes trying to figure out what size containers to use for garden sage, purple sage, chocolate mint and lavender. Do they have large roots, what size should they go in. they are in 4 inch pots that i purchased. I need to find them a home. lol i was thinking 1-2 gallons but unsure. I hope to hear from ya soon so i can plant them right away. ty Gary for all your help and support with gardening. :)
3. Good video. I must have the vertical rack. Not that one, I'll make it, but that looks great for early spring.
4. Do you have any tips with watering 1-2 week old oregano? I tried using a mister but that seems to weigh down the oregano and make it fall to the dirt.
5. When starting the seedlings, is it necessary for the starting pots to have drainage?
6. Inspiring, Im at Panama and got some Oregano seeds but made the mistake of planting just 3-4 seeds per container. I will use this method and put 25-30 in each one and see how it works. 
   Nice greenhouse btw. I live in an apartment so I don't think my wife will allow me something that big inside here hahahaha

7. First off, Gary, I love your videos. They are quite well done and extremely informative. Secondly, I have a question. I just purchased three of these mini greenhouses and was wondering if they could be used for "winter sowing?"  Thirdly, do you cover/shield your plants from the sun at all when you first put them out or do you find they are ok in full sun from the get go? Many thanks, Victoria :-)
8. Hey Gary, I am from Canada and work for a town. We test run off & storm water and the aluminum culverts have aluminum and zinc in the water run off. Between the aluminum pan and the Styrofoam (do you have any idea about those chemicals getting into your soil and plants?) I would be worried!
9. Are you using a grow light and, if so, what type are you using?  Are you also covering the seedlings with anything until they germinate?  Or heating from the bottom?
10. I've started marjoram and (Greek) oregano outdoors as my transplants failed. Seeds are tiny. I have to be very careful with watering, just light mist to keep moist. It was about 8 days ago, today I noticed first sprout.
11. I didn't get what the aluminum foil is for is it for heat, or just watering?
12. Thank you so much for your presentation, it has helped me plant a better herb garden.
13. I would not plant in any aluminum, the human body is to have zero aluminum very bad, doing a detox, grow cilantro, indoors to avoid toxic stuff all over. eat daily after a colon flush, that is first due to this and other toxins use aluminum never for anything deodorant, baby powder, we get a daily does thank you to the stuff being sprayed. heads up. avoid the aluminum causes low immune, thyroid, Alzheimer many things, as a master herbalist I see this as the number one issue and must always help to rid the body of this.
14. what a load of shit.
15. Awesome... thank you :)
16. Strapping down the greenhouse is a good tip!  My husband tried to tell me mine didn't need anchored (It was larger.  A 6x6 I think)  It flew about 100 yards when we got the next windstorm.  I felt like Dorthy in the Wizard of Oz when I was standing inside it, trying to untie the straps.
17. the second self seems to not be acclimating well
18. nice tips, I just started my first herb garden in my kitchen using my old aquarium and it has just started to grow

20. Thats just 6 weeks of growth? I live in the philippines and tried sowing thyme seeds and theyre just about 6 weeks too but they look like they just sprouted still! Wonder if the temperature makes any difference or could i have a different variety? Would appreciate your comment gary! Thanks
