June Garden Tour with 700+ Tomato Plants & So Much More 

Thank you so much for trialing flowers! So excited to see the seeds that you'll be offering soon!!

I was in Brigette’s seed club a year, she teaches us so much, like planting flowers in early winter (9b) she sent two packets, or five packets, of seeds every month so you try things you haven’t tried before, I have pincushion flowers and blanket flowers and calendula… It’s the first time I’ve explored the world of flowers in a vegetable garden, and I couldn’t be happier with all of the packed information that Bridgette downloads in that once a month course. I’m excited about your flower trials. Bridgette, I think a lot of information on the seed packets is wrong, probably for other zones too. I love your science approach, I think you have the best channel on the Internet, and I love the music! Discovery of scabiosa…wow !!! flowers like a madwoman. Music garlic… wow! Beaujolais sweet peas, … Wow! Scabiosa and blanket flowers both make great cut flowers. Your garden club was revolutionary for my understanding of growing in California.

I’m sure that every year to come is gonna be fabulous and amazing ❤

I’m so glad you mentioned how many varieties of dwarf tomatoes you have! I’ve been trying to find dwarfs and I’m not finding too many out there. This is so great that you touched on the size of the plant; not the size of the fruit. I’m in Texas with blasting hot dry summers so I like that your seeds are acclimated to that climate. And the very best part is you grow your own and that’s pretty rare. Thank you for sharing with us. 👩🏼‍🌾

When I was growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio (zone? 6?), we had Black-eyed Susans that bloomed every year. I always understood that they spread by sending out underground roots. My dad tried to eradicate them entirely once, and in 3-5 years, they came back. I love your hat, Brijette!

I bought a packet of hollyhock seeds from you, started them in my mini green house, I think, in January. I planted them in my garden when they were a more mature in April. I was told that I would not get any flowers until next year. Wrong! Mine are nearly 6 feet tall and so far I have pink and white blossoms.

I laughed about the Rudbeckia which I'd never heard was a biennial. I'm in the East County, solid zone 10, and mine always blooms first year, and usually lasts about three years. We have one in a pot in mostly shade that should have died from powdery mildew this winter, but it just put out all new foliage and full-size blooms. That one is at least 3 if not 4 years old. I need to get me some Sea Holly seeds. Love those big snapdragons!

Eryngium or Blue Sea Holly is an amazingly tough plant. Mine has been coming back and flowering in 10a with absolutely no care for 20 years! Stunning in a flower arrangement. 💚

Wonderfoul tour, thanks Brijette!!

I went nuts with Dahlia tubers this spring, my understanding is the seeds are completely new variety of dahlia, is that what you’re doing?

I'm zone 9a and I too got my Eryngium to bloom first year. I started them indoors in January and transplanted them out Feb 15. I noticed you are full on sun. I have shady areas. I also have hills and slopes. Some of my Rudbeckia will bloom first year but others won't. It might be sun exposure or temperature related. It is interesting.

My rudbeckia lasted too summers it's giving up now in it's 3rd summer

I need your hat Brigette. where can I find it???

Can we grow Scottish bonnet peppers in zone 9? Do you sell its seeds? Thanks.
