We're glad you enjoyed it!

Yes they do

They are tough, aren’t they? We are finding them in places we didn’t even think was possible. lol

Hi @BoxcarJerry (fellow New Jerseyan) - sorry for the delayed response - we were on vacation last week. Thanks for reaching out to us. You still have plenty of time. As I'm sure you've noticed, we've gotten a little bit of a heat wave (81 degrees in Central NJ today - WOW!) I'm thinking that we're going to have well into November so until the real frost comes for several days and your canna leaves and stalks all look brown, you'll be OK. Even when they look that bad, don't worry, the rhizomes are in perfect shape. We usually don't start digging ours up until mid-December. If you want to know how to store your cannas during the winter, we have a video that you can check out here: th-cam.com/video/p_fcjRkyBY4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JiX5zp6SZ5S6f4Nu . If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us again. Also, if you're interested in growing from seeds, you can check out our Etsy site at: www.etsy.com/shop/JDGardensNJ . We sell a large variety of seeds and plants during the season. Right now, we're in the middle of packaging up our seeds to get ready for the Fall seed selling season. They should all be online by mid-November. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @staceycolarusso1805 . Sorry for the delayed response - we were actually on vacation last week. Not too sure. The only thing I would imagine it would be is that the seedling may not have been germinated enough or possibly that you buried it too deep in the soil. It's always important to leave the little white stem exposed. Or lastly, now sure where you're from, but as it's getting colder, the germinated seed might not have been strong enough to survive. We usually start our seeds indoors and underneath the grow lights using a heatmat. Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions. Jackie and Dan

The germinate amazing in the paper towel within 2 days I also like to leave them in water after scoring them those will germinate within a couple days also but what I did was I planted the embryo of the sea the white part that's already rooting out in the soil I believe I did it upside?? I wish you guys had the camera more close towards what you were doing potting but thank you for the response great video

Hi @trontron-ed2qr . Sorry for the delayed response - we were actually on vacation last week. Where were you when we were doing this?! :-) Dude, I wouldn't have looked as tough if I didn't hold it up. ;-) Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

@@jdgardensnj4563 you only get one back if you can save it for a 10.99 ratchet please mate do it, there's nothing worse than back pain

Hi @joannesmith1287 . Sorry for the delayed response - we were actually on vacation last week. Yes, you can absolutely do that. We actually made a video placing the stones on a piece of wood. You can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/X6Wwvc25wJA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7X530iYiyoQrolDt . Hope this helps. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Thanks for all the great ideas! We're always looking for ways to improve our composting methods!

Thanks for watching!

Hi @alecluna4921 . Sorry for the delayed response - we were on vacation last week. I know what you're talking about. It really has to do with what you're putting in your compost bin. I generally don't like to put much food scraps in my compost piles, just clippings and garden waste. This keeps the flies, pesky insects and raccoons away. I save all of my table scraps for my worm bin, which is totally covered, to avoid the insects. If you're interested in composting, we have plenty of videos under the playlist entitled: "Composting Videos". You can find alot of interesting videos there and we'll be doing a whole bunch of new ones this winter, using different methods and containers so keep an eye out for them. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @bandz2276 . Sorry for the delayed response - we were on vacation last week. Yes, at this point, I was kind of laying everything out. Now that I have all the spacing correct, I'm going to backfill the blocks and fill in the holes. You can see the latest progress in the short we made a few days ago: th-cam.com/users/shortsBN-1yOG7z5M?si=moaLoANG4gd2sUUq . I will be doing a full video on this in the near future, so keep your eyes out for it. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @bootstrapstylerich . Thanks for reaching out to us. If by paver sane, you mean polymeric sand, then I wouldn't recommend it. Polymeric sand, once wet, will bond as it dries, similar to concrete. If you mix in top soil, you will more than likely ruin the bond. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Just looked it up = FYI = paver sand does come in colors like black and brown too.

Hi @JenniferSmith-rc9pv . Thanks for reaching out to us. Yes, we do have a heater, we fuel it with propane. We made a video a couple of years ago when we put it in. You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/5vNLQqESETU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HznWuMHZbipQWoVd . If you have a greenhouse and you're interested in heating it, The Mr. Heater has a couple of different sizes that might work for you. Also, we have another option to help keep the soil in your planter beds warm over the Winter, and that's by using heat cables. You can see the video we made for that one here: th-cam.com/video/JKpMbmUtRY8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UPbOF6TUOUYNNV_b . Hope this helps. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @brandonallen9853 . Thanks for reaching out to us. It may be hot and miserable in TX but I bet your garden looks great! :-) We love the Fall, but it's always sad, here in the Northeast to see all of our plants start dying out :-( . But it gives us something to look forward to next year. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

No

Hi @dizzyfingers7180 . Thank you for reaching out to us. No, you don't need to refrigerate/freeze seeds. They will stay fine stored in a bag. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @rosemoss7166 . Thanks for reaching out to us. If by taking them in, you mean storing the rhizomes away for the Winter, then NO, you probably still have plenty of time. You will want to cut them down once the frost really sets in and pretty much turns all the plants brown. Don't worry, the rhizomes are safe in the ground. It's just that the plant portion of it is dying out. That's the time you'll want to dig them out. But enjoy them while you have them. We just had our 1st frost warning the other day but in the next couple of weeks, we see the nights are going to be in the 50's so our cannas should be fine well into November, if not longer. If you're not familiar with digging up your rhizomes for the Winter, we have a video you can watch here: th-cam.com/video/p_fcjRkyBY4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JdpmWqZ9KQfJspha . Note: In the video how bad the canna leaves and stalks look but the rhizomes were perfect! Hope this helps. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @hobowitness1234 . Thanks for reaching out to us. If you enjoyed that, you should check out our video when we started the worm farm. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/3mvtFEuYxlo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=B8UXcUG511xU_YTh . Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @dylanmcfadden1229 . Much appreciated! Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @lindaingersoll8726 . Thanks for reaching out to us. We've tried that method in the past and never had much luck with it. We've found that scoring the seeds works bets for us. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

HI @goldriderlc . Get in line. ;-)

Hi @Sue-bl6ec . Thanks for reaching out to us. We don't use a cloth barrier but we do use plastic edging to stop the cannas from growing into each other. You can see a short video we made of it here: th-cam.com/users/shortsxzQVailx1u4?si=GM3e8u5TCOfo2fnn . Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Any time!
