Seed Starting Spinach – Howto Videos

By geekgardener, on May 1st, 2012%

Sounds like a familiar topic? May be it is… but I wanted to write about seed starting spinach for lot of reasons. Couple of weeks back, I was invited to ThoughtWorks, Bangalore to give a talk on Urban gardening to a group of techies.  I was quite excited. I had given talks like this before but this was the first of its kind. The talk went very well.  Many of them were very excited and had tons of questions. All of them had one question in common.. The million dollar question.. Which vegetable plant should I start with?

There are several plants one can start with. My recommendation is, always choose something that yields quickly and easy to grow. Spinach is a good candidate for starter project. Most of the times, I find myself explaining this. Hence I thought, I will make a video out of it. So without further ado, the videos of sowing spinach.

Hydroponics/Soilless Cucumber in greenhouse–Video-Part I & II

By geekgardener, on February 28th, 2012%

 

Thanks for such a good response on the videos. It is really motivating. Many of them wanted a video of the entire life cycle of the plant and also possible narration of growing methods along side.  That is exactly what I am doing now.

Some of the videos were shot without audio. Now, I am recording all the videos with narration. I used to think, that recording an audio/video should be very easy. You just talk..Isn’t it.. Apparently not so, when I started taking these videos. The moment I switch on the record button in the camera.. suddenly the situation changes.. one becomes all conscious, all kinds of disturbances happen only during that 10 minutes of silence you need… I have so many blooper videos which we keep watching and laughing later.. so anyway.. easy or tough, there is going to be lots of videos from now.

Here are the videos of Seedless cucumber growing in my greenhouse. Check it out
