Square Foot Gardening, Seed Starting Trends & Answering Listener Questions!
Q: When do you remove the humidity domes and heat mat for eucalyptus seedlings?
It's good to remove the humidity dome when you see a flush of seedlings emerge, but keep the heat mat on until the seedlings have a few sets of actual true leaves.
Square Foot Gardening, Seed Starting Trends & Answering Listener Questions!
Q: Has the Grow Guide podcast ever done an episode on growing melons in zone 3?
We really haven't covered that specifically, but there are great melons that will grow in our climate. You'll want to prioritize heat, consistent hydration, and rich composty soil.

Q: What plants can I use to grow a hedge with native to Manitoba plants?
For a hedge, consider using hardy willows, hascap bushes, or cotoni asters, which can be styled similarly to box hedges but can withstand Zone 3 conditions.
