Thanks for visiting the Freshcutky organic gardening channel. In the garden, I will answer some of the most common "gardening for beginners" type questions I get, including growing flowers from seed. Growing greens, growing flowers, and planting beautiful organic food is something I'm really passionate about. Thank you for joining me as I learn to grow flowers, cut flowers, vegetables, and much more. Freshcutky youtube channel and related media are for entertainment purposes only.
Many ornamental flowers and cut flowers are TOXIC. ALWAYS do your own research and take responsibility for the plants that you introduce around your kids, pets, and everyone else. Use common sense when handling plant materials: wear gloves, always wash hands, avoid contact with face, etc. NEVER consume any plant which has not been positively identified with complete certainty to be safe and edible. Before planting anything, research to determine whether specific flowers are considered invasive where you live or if there are laws that apply to their planting in your area.

What is "@freshcutky"?
@freshcutky documents the pursuit of my goal of one day owning my own cut flower farm. Along the way, you'll see random projects, cooking, and of course - growing stuff. I'm not an expert, and would never claim to be. There's always more to learn - this is my journey. The purpose of my blog, and other social media accounts (including RU-vid) is to share ideas. I do my best to offer information that is useful, but reliance on that information is strictly at your own risk and NOT a substitute for professional advice of any kind.

This was my first year growing zinnia. I love to save seed fro my garden and had no idea what this would entail for these beautiful flowers. Thank you!!!

@caseyiles8546 3 года назад

This was my first year saving zinnia seed, and I thought the same thing about the "chaff". I loved hearing our shared perspective on it. What a nice little assurance.

@cynthiabercaw3462 3 года назад

What a comprehensive tutorial! I've just shared this on another gardening FB page. Thank you so much!

@MEL.FreeToRoam 3 года назад

I do the same, when saving seeds most of the time I place everything including chaff into paper bags. My father once made a small blade and attached to a drill and set it up from a distance and then drop everything and seeds would drop onto a plastic sheet while the chaff was blown away. I might try a fan one day, see how it goes 😉

Thank you Tonya, I learned a lot from your lovely video. very informative I had often wondered about the different parts of the zinnia flower. Your pictures are beautiful. Flowers help make my garden happy and beautiful. Our Night Blooming Cereus is blooming tonight. Happy growing from Central Florida

@cmlmocha69 День назад

Thank you for this. I've been struggling with if what was just attached to the petals was the seeds or if the whole flower was the seed

@JSOPETTYY5686 Год назад

I use Neem oil. I put it on after sun goes down so it’s dry by morning and pollinators aren’t active, so it doesn’t hurt the pollinators. Keeps mildew off and bugs, parasites, etc that you don’t want.

Just recently have read the 67 (or smth like that) pages long thread about breeding zinnias. Very interesting, this winter i will attempt to do come crosses indoors.

@MsJay0913 3 года назад

And it seems like last year I defaulted to primarily saving the ray seeds, not really considering the difference much.. They were just so much easier to collect, being able to just grip the petals and pull.

@gardengatesopen 3 года назад

VERY GOOD video!!! 👍 I liked it Very Much! Great info!!! ❤

@lgrillo Год назад

The question of whether powdery mildew would remain present in seeds that are saved is an interesting one. My zinnias get powdery mildew every year here in NJ, US even when starting with fresh seed from a reputable grower, so I’m not sure it actually matters. Nice video. Thanks!

@gardengatesopen 3 года назад

Hey there Kentucky Girl ! I see you found a way to make a video with your hand all messed up!!! hehe!!! How fantastic!! Btw - I hope it's healing nicely! But, speaking of seeds... Lately I've been wondering about the "Great Dahlia Seed Dispersement" you did last Fall/Winter. Or more to the point, I've been curious to find out what the flowers look like from those seeds. Yes, ALL those flowers!! EVERY ONE of them!!! WHAT do they look like??? ANY NEW MODELS???!!!! I actually DO want to see ALL those flowers!!! hahaha!! And since I don't have Instagram (heaven forbid we should engage w a facebook product in this household 🙄) I have also been hoping you might put out a call to all the growers of those seeds to somehow send in a photo of The Great Dahlia Seed Dispersement Offspring??! (AKA - TGDSDO we obviously need more vowels in there...) And THEN I have been hoping you would create a video w ALL THOSE FLOWER BABY photos!!! Whaddya think?!! Bcuz I KNOW you have SOOO MUCH free time! (pffffthh 👅💦 NOT!!! ) But anyway, I just thought I would share that lil' thought process w you... I hope you're having a great day despite all the obstacles! Love ya, Ciao Doll ❤ ❤ ❤

@laurasilvera3766 3 года назад

i saved zinnia seedsnfrom last summer, and I'm getting ready to start some from seed so they are up when spring gets here by the end of the month. but I haven't had much luck with zinnia seeds in the past... I'll try soaking the seeds overnight and see if that helps them germinate.

@julvwildcat190 3 года назад

Try the paper towel method. It's super easy. Lable a zip top bag like Ziploc, with the name of your seeds. Soak a paper towel, squeeze the excess moisture out put your seeds on top of the paper towel and put it in you bag. Some people fold the paper towel over the seeds but I don't, I just fold the paper towel enough so that it fits in the bag and place the seeds on top because it's easier to see the germination and to remove the seeds. Zip up the bag just leaving a little bit of one corner unzip for airflow. Once you start to see little roots, white, coming out of the seed you can plant them. Do not leave them too long in the bag once you see this because it will be harder to remove from the paper towel. It can take anywhere from a few hours to days depending on the seed type. Zinnias for me have a fast germination so I'd check on them at night if I did this in the morning or check on them the next day. I hope this helps.

@julvwildcat190 3 года назад

@@laurasilvera3766 good luck. Also you have to make sure that your seeds are good. Maybe that may one of the reasons you may not be having success.

@margiemurray2147 Год назад

@@laurasilvera3766 one additional thing that might be helpful when doing the paper towels method is to put the paper towel with seeds in a dark location. I know it's been a year since your comments but just thought I'd add some ways that have helped. Happy growing from Central Florida

I'm just trying to find out how long zinnia seeds last (years, or just one season). I saved some seeds in the fall of 2022 and didn't get a chance to plant them spring of 2023. Not sure if they will still be viable next spring 2024.

How do you keep a zinnia true to itself if it has no pollen florets? I have a zinnia I want to reproduce. I have other similar plants but they color change differently.

@gardengatesopen 3 года назад

I heard that if you sow seeds from a plant that already grew in YOUR soil, then that new plant will be stronger bcuz it somehow adjusts to your soil. Or something along those lines... I have no idea if this is true. Or perhaps this only happens with certain types of plants? (The person saying this was growing a food plant.) Anybody out there know about this? Or is it just me holding on to obscure facts, as one does... ?!

@metti_2t 3 года назад

It adjusts to soil, and weather, to some degree. Not all plants can do that, especially if there is a huge change in soil and weather from the original place the plant used to grow in. I think it takes a very lone time for this kind of adjustment to happen (several years maybe) so that the plant will produce at its best.
