Growing A Cut Flower Garden in Scotland, Zone 8b
This weeks video is all about how I succession sow my flowers. Succession sowing was not something I knew anything about when I started flower growing 9 years ago. Over recent years I have started to put together what I know about our climate, and the flower seeds I grow to make a plan on when to sow to maximise flowers over the growing season. In this video I share with you how I plan and what the plants look like at different stages and when they will flower.

Finally! A video I can understand how to work out my batches. Thank you!

Thank you so much for watching. I am glad that it helped as succession sowing is hard to get right, I am still learning!

Thank you this is the most useful video on succession planting on you tube. It is finally a guide I can apply to my planting. Thanks again.

Hello, thanks so much for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it. Working out succession sowing is such a help to get flowers all the way through the season, especially those last few weeks which I have always found the hardest to get right.

Thank you for that tip about sowing biennial seeds during the summer for bloom the following year.😊

@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Год назад

It’s so easy to miss that step planting biennials when life and the garden get busy in June but the flowers are incredibly worth it if you remember to sow them and help fill that May gap the following year. Thanks for watching this week 😊

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback. I am glad you enjoyed the video, it makes such a difference when you can get succession sowing working well to stretching out the flower season. Have a great growing season this year.

I just found you and I'm glad I did. This was a great and very helpful video. I'm in northwestern Oregon in the US. I have similar growing conditions (a bit warmer/dryer in the summer), zone 8b. I look forward to watching more videos as we enter the rainy season. I just grow flowers and vegetables for me and the neighbors in my backyard.

Hello, thanks so much for watching from Oregan. I hope you enjoy my videos and seeing the flowers I can grow here in Scotland. Have you any favourites you grow for yourself? My best flowers this year were my salvia, statice and dahlias.

Your videos are very helpful for me as I'm not too far away, in West Lothian. I will sow some more sunflowers and am pleased to have anemone de Caen, in bud. I pre-sprouted the corms after seeing your video on the subject and the plants are much better than my previous attempts! Thank you.

@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Год назад

Hi Lisa, thanks for watching this week. I am glad you are finding the videos helpful, that’s great. Hopefully you will get lots of anemones flowering in the next week or two. A few sowings of sunflowers a couple of weeks apart will help give you flowers over a longer time period to enjoy this summer. Wasn’t the weather nice today!

@susanconsidine2648 Год назад

So informative Catherine. Thank you. Congratulations on 5000 you absolutely deserve it.

Thanks so much Susan and for all your support with my videos xx

My snapdragons have been so slow. This is my first year doing a cut flower bed but I will definitely start those earlier next year. Guess I’ll put on another batch of sunflowers and zinnias next week. Thanks for this video very informative.

@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Год назад

Thanks for watching. Yes snapdragons for me and rudbeckia always take a long time to get going so I need to sow them earlier to get them established. Definitely a good time to sow more zinnias and sunflowers now. That’s my job for Monday too.

@Marie0306 Год назад

What a really helpful video Catherine.I always think I am too late for sowing extra seeds but this will give me the confidence to give some more hardy annuals a go. Is it too late to sew larkspur now as I lost some of my earlier plants?

@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Год назад

Thanks Marie, I am glad you enjoyed it. I think if you sow some larkspur now you may get a crop before the end of the season. It does take a bit longer than some other annuals to get from sowing to flowering so I wouldn’t leave it any longer than now if you are going to try it. I have some I direct sowed that are just germinating now. Let us know in a few months time how you get on with a later sowing of this.

@oatmelbath Год назад

This was so clear and helpful ❤ I have a silly question; how do you manage the bed space where you will be planting these succession crops into. Would you leave a patch empty for example, or are you cutting down a crop and planting into the same space?

@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Год назад

Thanks so much for watching this weeks video. That’s a really good question. I have re jigged my beds over the years so that now I do have a small amount of free bed space to plant succession crops into. I also put succession sowings in the beds where the tulips and ranunculus have finished after the spring. For later successions I am trying to be a lot better at recognising when an annual plant is finished flowering, pulling it and then planting a new succession in its place. Before I would have tried to keep the first crop going for as long as possible and the stem quality would decline and not be as useable and then because I wouldn’t have pulled it, it would then be too late to put a succession crop in. So that is something I am working on to help with bed space for these later flowers.
