Thank you for the idea! I can see paint sticks holding up well & I will try the garden markers. Plastic markers haven’t worked well for me either. 😊

I will have to try a garden marker again. I had one years ago, but it dried out in our greenhouse when I accidentally left it there, so I didn’t have a chance to use it that much. I will have to give them another try.😊

😊 There is something so cute about them! Everyone just loves them! I sell more mini bouquets as well!

Thank you! They are fun to make & it’s nice not needing to use rubber bands. 🌸😊🌸

I know what you are talking about. The violets love the shaded areas around our house & are everywhere. I checked & two types of fritillary caterpillars use violets as their host plant in Tn. I will have to keep an eye out for them! 🌸

Congratulations on the new property! 😊Besides providing food for monarch & tussock caterpillars, milkweed flowers are a great nectar source for pollinators. Milkweed also supports beneficial insects, which will help keep insect pests in check.

Thank you! 🌸😊🌸 Having friends over for lattes does sound fun!

Never enough! 😊 Thank you! 🌸

Thank you! ♥️

Thank you so much! I am glad you liked this video. 😊🌸😊

Thank you so much! 😊 I am glad you liked the video & I think it’s nice and interesting to see what others are growing also. 🌸

Welcome to the channel! Delphinium are so beautiful- it’s great that they are easy for you! I agree about Iceland poppies. 🌸😊🌸

I grow all pollenless varieties. Procut gold is shown for sure. There might be a few self seeded types as well. 🌻

Thank you for the information on how they bloom, I did notice some tiny flowers falling from the first cut I made. I will keep this in mind while experimenting with them this year. I love the pretty purple color of those flowers! ☀️

That is a new goal for my channel. I am hoping to start the first week of each month. 🌸

Hello! I cover my dahlias with row covers & mulch with leaves. Our winters are a little wet, but not too bad. 😊

Thank you so much! 😊 I am so glad & thank you for watching! 🌸🌱🌸

So glad it was helpful! 😊

That would be a good video. 😊 Make sure to start indoors in mid-summer and have them in the ground 6 weeks before first fall frost or you can try direct sowing as well. 🌱

It’s so nice to find someone in the same growing zone! Happy growing! ☀️🌸☀️

You’re welcome fellow Tennessean 😊🌸 🦋

Hello fellow Tennessean! That is good information to know. We definitely have some thistles, I will keep an eye out for their eggs this year and will read more about the Painted Lady. 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! I recently purchased a microphone but forget that I have it sometimes. I will try & remember for the next video! 😊

It probably just needs more time. Spreading some nice organic compost around the base of the plant & mulching would help give it a little boost & help retain moisture and keep weeds in check. Happy growing! 😊🌱☀️

Such an interesting and pretty plant! ☀️🌱😊

Sweet peas do need a few extra steps to grow & patience is definitely key, but they are worth the extra effort. 😊 I find that most of the time the seeds know just the right time to germinate. A little sprucing up never hurts! 🌱❤️☀️

Luckily our cats do not bother our chickens. They usually just lay around and watch the chickens scratch around or ignore them. I think carefully and slowly introducing the cats to the chickens work best. I would especially be careful with any small bantams. 😊

Yes, it was a fun experiment and I am glad it worked! 🌱

I also enjoy learning and in the gardening world there is so much to learn. 🌱 I have been growing organically for 10 plus years now and I love to see the resulting plant and animal diversity. This is my second year growing flowers & I am starting to focus on regenerative gardening and on reducing plastic use. ☀️

I like to direct sow whenever possible. I definitely direct sow the sunflowers and zinnias. I will start the chocolate lace flower and snapdragons indoors every time. The other varieties it just depends, if it’s early in the year I usually start indoors. 🌸

Hello friend! Thank you & good luck with your sweet peas. 🌱☀️

I like to source my seeds from several different seed companies some of my favorites are Rare Seeds, Select Seeds, Redemption Seeds, Fruition Seeds, and Botanical Interests. All have a nice selection of flowers, herbs, and vegetables. 😊

Nice! I have some that produced flowers last year & overwintered. It will be interesting to see how they do this year. Snapdragons are definitely the workhorses of the garden! ☀️

Nice to hear from a fellow Tn gardener & welcome to Heirloom Leaves and Seeds! 😊

Hello & welcome to my channel! 😊 I do sow directly into the ground whenever possible because I find that it is easier and less maintenance. I like to direct sow zinnias, cosmos, and basil for sure. A few reasons to start seeds indoors is if they take long to germinate, they are slow growing, if I want to get a head start before my last frost date, or if the seed is very small. It’s really personal preference and whatever works best for you. 🌸🌸🌸

Bupleurum is a great filler & many people like the variety 'Griffithi’. Happy gardening & greetings from the Untied States! 🌱😊

Thank you! 😊 I am going to put potting up the mahogany splendor on my to do list this week, they are such fast growers! I definitely think I need to go ahead and put the bupleurum in the refrigerator as well. Good luck with your bupleurum germination! Happy gardening! 😊🌱☀️

Thank you & thank you for subscribing. 🌱😊🌱

Thank you! I am really looking forward to the garden this year & can’t wait to see the new varieties! ☀️ 🌸 ☀️

Thank you! 🌱😊🌱

I haven’t tried growing lupines yet, but have been tempted to the last two years. They are so beautiful!

I am trying the purity cosmos this year. I have heard several people say how much they like this variety, so I am really looking forward to growing it this year. 😊

I like to hear what others are growing as well. I have added Bells of Ireland and Blue Grama & Feathertop grass to what I am growing this year. I am glad to see they are on your favorites list & I am looking forward to using them in bouquets this year. 🌸

Bonjoir! C’est une vidéo intéressante! 🌺🌺🌺🌺Les Zinnia sont fabuleux! J’ai quand même des problèmes avec la présence des limaces. J’aime aussi les Gomphrena et les Pavot chiken. Ces derniers sont très jolis. La fleur est grosse et rose. On dit d’ébouillanter le bout de la tige et de déposer les pavots dans un vase avec de l’eau froide. J’ai bien hâte de savoir s’ils vont durer au moins 1 semaine.

:) Yes, that is a good description of what happened to me when cutting calendulas last year. I have heard people talk about them becoming sticky, but never the curling and color change. I wonder if there is a way to prevent this? 🧐😊

Hello and you’re welcome! 😊I like to cut calendulas for cut flowers when they are 1/2 way open in the mornings. To dry them I like to harvest the flowers in the morning but after the dew has dried and the flowers are fully open. Zinnias are definitely prone to powdery mildew. Especially in areas that are hot and humid. Giving them some extra space so they have good air movement helps. I do succession plant in case of windstorms, excess powdery mildew, or they just tire out. I have heard that the Oklahoma series zinnias are more resistant to powdery mildew, I will pay more attention this year and see if it is true. I hope this helps & hopefully you have a powdery mildew free year! 🌸

Glad you found it helpful! Looking forward to some poppies this spring! ☀️ 😊
