I came to look over your You Tube channel from Circle of Encouragement. I loved the name of your channel because gardening is work and you don't want to waste time with methods that are not profitable. I subscribed because the information here is very easy to apply to my zone in central Texas, just figure out how to adjust up or down. Same principles apply all over. Enjoy the knowledge and experience that you and others put in on your videos.

It’s always a pleasure to hear the information that you have to share with all of us. Are you going to do a podcast about planting transplants in very early spring? If the planting window is 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost when should transplant be started? Also, is the gardening off process the same in the spring? Thank you for all youdo.

Around minute 12:40 you're talking about Direct Seed cool flowers, but then Lisa talks about how she does the Buplerum darkness with her cell tray. I thought direct seeding was straight in the soil outdoors. Does it have a different meaning in Cool Flowers? I'm a zone 4a so this concept is really hard for me!

How do you know when to start the transplants to be ready to go out 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date?
@jennyrose843
Жыл бұрын
As an example I live in Zone 6b, I am about to start my snapdragon seeds. It says on package to start 4-6 weeks before planting date. You must also figure germination time of the seed, this package for these snapdragons is 3 to 7 days. So by me starting these now, they should be ready to go out between March 7th and 14th . My Last spring frost date is April 23rd.
@LayneAngeloTGW
Жыл бұрын
Hello, Gayle! You should look for information either on your seed packets or on the seed supplier's website for an estimate of how far in advance to start. The instructions might say "start indoors 4 to 6 weeks before planting date" or "start 2 to 4 weeks before your last expected spring frost". If it is a cool flower (not a warm-season tender annual that needs to be planted out after all danger of frost has passed), just use the stated number of weeks as a guide and work backwards from your "very early spring" transplanting date (6 to 8 weeks before your last expected spring frost). If a seed should be started 4 weeks in advance of planting, simply start the seeds indoors 4 weeks before your "very early spring" transplanting date. Also, keep in mind that if you are growing in soil blocks, you can typically shave around 1/3 of the recommended time off, since seedlings tend to grow faster and be ready for transplanting sooner when grown in soil blocks. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching! 😊

Oh! So no heat mat for poppies or orlaya?!?
@LayneAngeloTGW

Hello, Judy! Lisa's recommendation is no heat 🙂 I would say to first try with no heat. If the seeds have not germinated in a timely matter and you believe it is due to temperatures that are too cool, you could try putting your trays on a cookie cooling rack on a heat mat to give them just a bit of warmth. The space I grow in is quite chilly in the winter, so I can get away with using more heat than Lisa can. You may need to experiment a bit to find out what works best in your growing space 🙃 Best of luck with your cool flowers, and have a lovely day! 🤗

I bought Lisa's book and seed start up kit a few years ago. I buy my seeds from her every year. My question is, does Lisa keep all her cool flower seeds in a refrigerator or freezer? I have been reading that a lot of different seeds need cold stratification. Never have I heard Lisa say she cold stratified her seeds in a freezer. The back of the seed packets of snapdragons, stock, etc doesn't say the seeds need to have cold stratification, yet others are saying they do. Please help!!!! Thanks!!!

Hi great info! I am wondering if an addition of “winter sowing” could be used for instance in my zone 6B on the great lakes? Planted in milk jugs or in pots in covered totes (with holes top and bottom) that get water and temp fluctuations from the elements sitting outside.
@LayneAngeloTGW
Жыл бұрын
Hello, Phyl! That would definitely be an interesting experiment to try 🌱 As a flower farmer, Lisa does not do milk jug-style winter sowing, but as a home gardener I would certainly be interested to see what kind of results you get! If you end up trying it, please let us know which seeds you started and your success rate. Best of luck, and have fun with your experiments! Thanks so much for watching, and have a great day 🤗

I’ve winter sowed many different cut flowers in jugs. It is fine for home growing in small quantities but I find it isn’t very practical for flower farming. We need larger quantities and we want them to bloom sooner than winter sowing will provide. I also found that I couldn’t get the stem length we need. But it’s a great way to test out new flowers in small quantities without wasting valuable bed space. I do plan to use winter sowing for starting perennial seeds that take a few years to produce plants that provide many blooms.

Now I’m confused! 😮. I thought anything that could be planted in “very early spring” could be started in soil blocks. I want to start Buplerum, Nigella and Bachelor Buttons. Should I use trays instead or can I just make sure the soil blocks are in a cool area? 🤷♀️
@LayneAngeloTGW
Жыл бұрын
Hello! I asked Lisa why she starts her bupleurum successions in plug trays versus soil blocks, and she said that she has always done it that way and it has worked so well for her that she has never tried a different method! If starting in soil blocks is more convenient for you (as it is for me), I would try blocks first and then - if it does not seem to work well - try the trays. That way, you will know going forward if blocking for these types of seeds is an option 🌱 FYI, nigella and bachelor buttons are two that dislike root disturbance, so just keep this in mind when you are transplanting. I frequently start dill in soil blocks, and it does just fine! Best of luck, and let us know how this experiment goes 😊 Thanks for watching, and have a great weekend!
