Overwintering Flowers for Spring Bloom
มุมมอง 2Kปีที่แล้ว
Early spring blooms are so wonderful after a long winter! It's not hard to have early blooms in the garden- the trick is to plant the right cold-loving seedlings in the fall. We use frost cloth (remay) as extra insurance, but here in Zone 7a the following cutting garden plants have overwintered well for us without any remay or protection: Bupleurum Larkspur Nigella Agrostemma Bachelors Buttons ...

    Great video. The stakes look to be 4’ x 8’, and the two sets are about 2’ and 3’ above the soil. This is a very simple way to stake and we will try it next year.

    Bonjour! Petite question: si je veux semer mes Zinnia à l’intérieur. Je devrais avoir de la lumière. Combien d’heures pour le début des semis? Et pour l’extérieur, qu’elle est le temps de lumière le plus performant? J’ai essayé les leds rose lorsque le plant avait 6 pouces…. J’adore avoir quelques plants de zinnia sur mon terrain. Pour les tournesol, j’aime moins à cause de la visite des ratons laveur. Merci de me répondre.

    I literally love growing zinnias!! People walking past my property often stop and take photos of my flower field 🤩🤩🤩 I only grow small scale and just for myself to pick and give to friends. I’m not a florist by any means 😆 and not a farmer either (yet). Maybe one day I can grow on a larger scale and sell to florists but for not it’s just good for my soul.

    Such a lovely video! Thanks so much! ❤ I'm just a hobby gardener, but I love to get reliable information from the experts. Zinnias are my absolute favorites! I bought 4 packets of semi dwarf pumila mixed Zinnia seeds for $1 from my local dollar store, and they were the talk of my neighborhood! I was able to cram 4 plants together in 8" planters, they bloomed their heads off until frost! Gardening is fun already, but getting the most bang for our buck, is a whole different feeling! Everyone should begin gardening with flowers like Zinnias ❤❤❤ these are feel-good flowers even for the black-thumbed!

    I have a sunflower that a deer took a taste and it it's now branching!! I'm in Florida zone 8b with microclimates of 9,10!! I started my sunflowers in January!! Last year I planted them in February and they were the best ones the entire year!!! I hope to a set up like you in years to come!!! I plan classes as well!! I have a micro farm but you have to start somewhere??? I was a Nurse for over twenty years and I can't do that anymore at my age but growing flowers and vegetables are the up and coming business NOW!! TFS your experience!! I would love to see more!! I will look at your website as well!!

    Thank you for the great information and tips. I planted zinnias for the first time back in 2022 and now I'm hooked. I do like the Oklahoma series and they did perform well last year, but I guess I prefer flowers that are larger in scale.

    Great information and inspiration! I love your teaching style! More videos please! I am in zone 7 with clay soil. I started messing around with flowers last year because my daughter told me I have a knack for it. My zinnias were beautiful and immediately I became addicted. Lol I’ve ordered a bunch more Varieties for this year and hope to have a beautiful cut flower garden in addition to my vegetable garden.

    OMG those lisianthus are amazing. I’m in the UK and tried growing these last year but never succeeded have you got any tips for growing these? I’ve recently bought more seeds which are called Echo White F1 hybrid if that helps at all.

    I’ve just found your channel and I’ve got to say it’s one of the best for giving clear, no nonsense information. I live in the UK and have tried to grow zinnia the last two years and have been very disappointed. However,I’m not one to give in so I’ve got more seeds and I’m trying again this year following your instructions. Fingers crossed.

    This was a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing. Does the bloodmeal work to deter squirrels from jumping up to eat my sunflower blooms. Last summer the squirrels raged war on my flowers and ate every single sunflower bloom. I was so sad!

    • @butterbeefarm
      @butterbeefarm ปีที่แล้ว

      That is super sad! I'm not sure that blood meal would deter squirrels, but it's certainly worth a try!

    Thank you for this video. I was watching another TH-camr and they mentoined growing this plant, but had no tutorial yet. So, when your video poped up, I had to watch it. I have learned a great deal.

  • @WishingonaFarm12
    @WishingonaFarm12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi there, I was wondering if you direct sow or start in trays? I have a big bird issue where they pull up my flower and vegetable seedlings as soon as they pop out of the ground.😩

    • @butterbeefarm
      @butterbeefarm ปีที่แล้ว

      Sometimes we direct seed sunflowers, but for the most part we seed sunnies and zinnias into trays first. We can protect them better in our propagation house! I'd suggest checking out our "Overwintering Flowers for Spring Bloom" video to learn how you can use remay (frost cloth) over plants. You can do this in the summertime too to protect young seedlings from birds! Just make sure to get the thinnest remay available so the plants don't get too hot!
