Thanks Hannah, the next job is to get it cleaned but need to wait until the storms, wind and snow finish so I can get everything outside while I sort the inside out. I hope it’s not too wild where you are x
You don't heat the greenhouse at night, do you? Lucky you. I didn't know Scotland is warmer than here, South Korea. Thank you for listing the seeds to overwinter.👍
No I don’t heat the greenhouse overnight. We have had a very mild winter this year so far for Scotland. Quite often our worst winter weather comes in early spring so will have to wait and see what happens in March/April this year. How cold is it in South Korea over the winter?
@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm My area may be zone 7 or 6. Last winter went down to minus 24 degree Celsius n the lowest of this winter was minus 18.(I live in the midland of South Korea. ) I always enjoy your video. Also happy to see the Sotish house n garden.🥰
Hi Catherine, I really enjoyed this video. So nice to see the results of your autumn sowing. I too have some seedlings which I have over wintered which I’m pleased with as it has been my first attempt. How many different varieties of flower do you plant in your flower patches, and how many would you recommend as a good start to a beginners flower patch. Many thanks for such detailed information, I really enjoy watching 🙂
Hi Jane, that’s great you have some that have come through the winter too. It depends what you want to use the flowers for. I have been growing a lot of varieties mainly for wedding works as I love making bouquets from a large variety of flowers for interest and to give a real country garden feel. Off the top of my head I can think of at least 30 from annuals, biennials and perennials for cutting. If you want to grow just enough flowers to fill vases in the house then I would grow far less but make sure you have enough for 2-3 types of filler flowers like ammi, 2-3 focal flowers like dahlias, zinnias, 2-3 varieties to add height like larkspur, snapdragons, 2-3 varieties of smaller flowers to go with the focal flowers such as cornflowers, nigella that you can put together to make a bouquet and some for scent like sweet peas because they are lovely!

Thank you Catherine, that’s really useful to know. And I’m pleased that I do have some of the flowers that you mentioned. Looking forward to to your next video 🙂
Do you ever start your seeds in the fall right in the garden...many of the plants I'm sure over winter well in your climate. Would save you alot of time...
Hello, thanks for watching. No I haven’t tried this before as I thought I would lose too many seedlings to slug damage or the weather over winter. However some seeds that self sow in the garden have overwintered very well in the past so I think what you suggest may be a very good idea to try this year. What I need to do is have an area of garden that is not producing flowers still that I can clear and sow directly into probably in early August to get them established before winter.
@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm I don't even think you need to start them that early...I start mine in September and they establish well before we get lots of snow.
Great greenhouse, and your overwintering plants looking so good, they are so big compared to mine.

You are definitely quite a bit colder than us. I am glad you have been enjoying seeing my garden here in Scotland x

Thats good to know thank you. It's just working back from that first frost date which can vary from the end of September to the end of October for us.
