Regardless lol.. anyway you're in my neighborhood so i love seeing your vids. Ive been growing everything for about 45 years but its always good to hear of other's experiences. Tyfs. ❤ Oh yeah...i do the same cool flowers from seed and my sweet pea vines come up multi branched from the start and strong. If i start biannual early, I can get blooms the first year as well.
I just want to say I'm so glad I found your and Nicole's channel! Starting my cutflower garden/farm has brought me so much happiness! & I owe it all to you 2!
Bonjour Tonya et merci pour le partage de tes expériences sur autant de semences. Ta vidéo me sera très utile car de nombreuses fleurs que tu cites m'intéressent. J'ai eu beaucoup d'échecs dans mes semis mais j'ai à nouveau envie de renouveler l'expérience grâce à tes conseils simples. Belle journée fleurie !
I wish I could grow Shirley poppies or any poppy in that manner. Slugs absolutely love the seedlings and they are even loving the californian and Shirley poppies more than anything else. By the time seedlings are 2 cm tall most of them are already eaten. They seem to also not react too well to being transplanted if I planted them somewhere slugs cannot reach them.
This video and your experience is awesome! Getting my seeds ready for planting this first year of flower farming. So helpful and encouraging!! Thank you so much!!!💕💕💕
I came across your video and I just want to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I plan to start my first cut garden next year. You've really inspired me!
You are so knowledgeable and have so many different types of flowers! Do you sell cut flowers? If so do you mark them or do you sell them to stores and Flores if you do neither then you definitely should. Flower Smart's is off the charts!
Okay, so I don't know how I even got here, but I have a MILLION questions....I barely even have a garden, but over the last fourteen minutes I've decided to quit my job and devote myself to plants. First question, most obvious one, are you saying that once you've established your seedling in the fall you then transfer them into a unheated low tunnel/hoop house and they just stay dormant through the winter until spring? Sorry if it's a ridiculous question, but I just stumbled into this video and I'm in love.
Yes. They resume growing in the late winter/spring when the weather starts getting warmer again. Success really depends mainly on how tolerant each plant is to cold and what growing zone you're in :) Welcome to the channel!
@@TONYAwiththeflowers This is absolutely awesome. I'm super excited to try my hand at gardening. I live in zone 6b and I have several raised beds that I inherited from the previous owner. And tonight has been our first freezing rain. Is it too late to try to plant anything or should I just plan for winter sowing and early spring?
That's tough. If you're already having freezing rain, I think I would definitely just wait for winter sowing. There's plenty of things you can start growing then. Good luck!
@@TONYAwiththeflowers So I came here to ask if I could sow seeds now, under the snow. The types you've sown in the Fall. Thanks Karen, germination makes sense!
I have a more recent video called 'Early Flowers' that might be helpful. It talks more about cold tolerant flowers that can be started for spring. Thanks so much for watching!
I don't mess with them much because they really irritate my skin. However, in the past, I've dipped the stems into very hot water and left them to cool over night. 50% will keep in a vase, and the others will wilt. Good luck!
Hi from your new subscriber in Germany. Sorry, what way the name of that plant from the Apiaceae family: Mist Naga or what plz. Shown after bachelor's button.
Hi ... could you do a video on growing carnations? I tried some this spring ...started indiors and then transplanted to part sun (morning), zone 5. I have large mounds of leaves but no flowers. Thanks!
I'm planning to make one when mine bloom next year. It sounds like yours are also waiting to bloom. As long as the variety you planted is hardy, they should bloom next season. Good luck!
I want to make sure I understand what you mean by over winter the annuals. You are sowing the seeds into seedlings in the fall to transplant in Spring?
I'm sowing the seeds in the fall. They'll germinate and I'll transplant them into the garden or unheated hoophouse (depending upon the type). They'll survive the winter in the ground as seedlings, and then bloom early the next spring. Hope that helps :)
I don't have any snails, but I definitely have issues with slugs. In my seed starting tunnel, I try to keep everything as dry as possible (with the exception of the trays, of course) and make sure that the trays are never sitting on the ground. I also make sure that the transplants are nice and large before I put them into the garden. This seems like its the most important thing - it's the reason that I always pre-sprout my dahlias in the spring. The slugs seem to devour my dahlias worst of all!
@@TONYAwiththeflowers slugs are my biggest problems here in Oregon. That's why the jugs or soda bottles might be ideals for winter sowing for me. However, I like the tray idea because it's easier but it's a big risk to take with slugs. Thank you so much and take care always. I appreciate what you do.
I rarely see a slug anymore, I started laying scrap pieces of copper pipe around in my gardens. Copper gives slugs an electrical shock so they do not even come around anymore !!!! I find scrap pieces at the dump, recycling center and at thrift stores inexpensively. You can also buy a copper tape, it has a sticky back and can be put around pots and stuff. Good luck
What flowers do you direct sow inside the hoophouse and which do you seed start in the hoophouse then transplant (inside or outside) the hoophouse? Hope that makes sense.
@@TONYAwiththeflowers just got my Johnny Seed delivery! Whooooohooooo! Sorry if I did understand exact what you planted. Hey, if you would like to talk DM me on Instagram @floralandiatn.
It depends on the type of poppy I'm growing. I usually start icelandic poppies indoors and direct sow shirley poppies around the last week of September. Sometimes a little later when its still hot outside. Hope that helps!
Do you think it'd be ok to Winter Sow some of these in milk jugs now on Feb 10th? I'm in Arkansas 7a....or have I missed my chance for Spring Flowers this year?
You can definitely winter sow a lot of these flowers now. However, they may not get as tall as from a fall planting. Some of them, like poppies, sweet peas, and larkspur, may even be able to be direct sowed, as long as the soil isn't frozen. Good luck!
@@ArtByKarenEHaley yes I planted Hollyhocks and they were absolutely beautiful last year! I can’t remember what else I planted, but whatever it was, they didn’t come up. Oh and I planted daisies and they did well also! The daisies are really large now and should be wonderful this year!
