Thanks, Debbie. I planted a few types over the years, but I think these are the Gloriosa Daisy Rudbeckia variety. I love them all, but these are my favorite rudbeckia variety! Enjoy!

Has it been particularly hot in your area? If I remember correctly, when squash plants are flowering in periods of intense heat, they only, or mostly grow males... something about conserving the delicate female seed...

@@JbelldigsDaydreamGarden yes, 28- 39 degrees Celsius

Thanks so much!! I have tons of new content to upload. Hopefully soon!

that's so sweet of you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully more content soon!

Aww thanks, Donna! It's nice to connect with kindred spirits!! Happy Gardening!

Thank you! I got them from Baker Creek if you're interested in trying them out. The scent is such a gift!

They really are a special bunch! Grasshoppers are one pest that I've yet to deal with. Is that an issue for you?

oh that's so exciting! what a good friend!! I'm still waiting on mine to bloom, but in the meantime, I have another super tall variety blooming that are really fun! I'll try to post a video about them soon!

@@JbelldigsDaydreamGarden that’s wonderful! I’ll try to post a video showing mine soon. 😊❤️

Thank you! You’re right. I was getting nervous because I wasn’t seeing many pollinators. Thankfully these blooms brought them around!

Aren’t they unreal!?!✨✨✨

Exactly!!🎉🎉

Thanks! Enjoy!

amazing, right!?

If I recall correctly, I think I squeezed 6 plants into the 24" pot. Growing them in a container was one of my favorite experiences growing that season. Hope it works out for you! Thanks for watching!

I was hooked right away, too. They're such a fantastic flower to have in the garden. Lots of varieties to chose from, and tons of different colors. Maybe the best cutting flower as well. DOn't forget to save your own seeds this year! It's easy to do.

Thanks for watching! If I'm remembering correctly, the rudbeckia has a wide leaf at the base of the plant that's different from the leaves towards the top. Also, it's possible you're noticing the leaves from the echincea and/or the anise hyssop right at that 2:40 mark.

@@JbelldigsDaydreamGarden Thank you for the information and for the quick response!

There are dozens of sunflowers that have more than one bloom. Look for ones labeled "multi-branching" rather than "single" "single head" single Bloom". The singles are often the giant varieties like Mammoth. Every seed company I've purchased from has both types. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks!🐞

Thanks for watching! How many plants to grow really depends on your appetite, family size, etc. Each individual plant produced probably around dozen squash. On the trellis in the video I had four honeynut squash plants do really well, and a couple other squash varieties that didn't make it due to pests. The honeynut squash ended up being so sweet that I used it in place of sweet potatoes and pumpkins for pie. I absolutely loved wathcing these grow, especially with the convenience of them being upright and not needing to bend down everytime I wanted to check in. Such a fun plant. Are you growing vertically?

Greetings and thanks for watching! Since there are so many different varieties and seed producers etc,, I wouldn't know for sure. In my personal experience though, while there may be subtle differences, I haven't been able to detect any noticeable flavor variants. I'm just happy to have any of them!

That makes me so happy!! Thank you for sharing! If you're interested- I made a whole Zinnia playlist recently for all of your zinnia viewing needs!. :)

@@JbelldigsDaydreamGarden Love seeing the variety in your garden. Cheery colors and textures everywhere. I can see why you enjoy your garden. Thanks for showing it so others can enjoy too.

@@lynnt3747 That's so nice of you to say. My garden has been a life saver for me, so you can imagine why I have such fondness for it. Thank you for appreciating it with me!

That’s sounds fantastic! Perfect for all seasons!

Awww… I have a chronic pain condition that causes extreme head pain, (often following weather extremes!) so I can relate! I was just down for the better part of the last two days! I’m so, so thrilled that my little corner of the world could bring you a little something special. Thank you so much for sharing. I caught a squirrel this morning taking off with an ear of purple corn. He carried it to his nest in the front yard. The bunnies have been brazen in their corn eating as well! The sunflower damage looks really rough like it’s from groundhogs, but I supposed there’s a chance it’s also from squirrels. Hope you feel better soon! 💐💐💐

This one is from the Renee’s Garden “Paintbox Blend”. They’re labeled as pollinator and songbird varieties. I’m loving them all, but want to save them individually. Hence naming them. I’m not familiar with California Sunflowers! I’ll have to look into them!

@@JbelldigsDaydreamGarden Woops..it is Mexican Sunflower... Mexican sunflower, Tithonia rotundifolia It grows into a large bush with orange flowers....! It gets huge...and tall with so many branches...and flowers

@@zan4110 Ah, yes. I know and love Tithonia! I tried to grow the yellow variety this year but they didn't make it. For a couple years prior, I grew the orange variety and they were terrific! They're featured at the end of this video if you'd like to see. th-cam.com/video/6EusaRLVHns/w-d-xo.html

Ugh! I’m so sorry! Did you happen to have any backups started? What zone are you? There may still be time to direct sow!

It made my week!!😊😊
