Hey there, y’all! Thanks for permission to keep making this a Trial and Error Adventure. 🌺❤️ I’m inspired by Lisa’s admission of still experimenting with the bloom time of the rudbeckia. It makes me feel incredibly good about my continued use of the phrase, “Well, this IS an experiment and it’s all about learning!” I appreciate the effort you all put in to educating us. I was literally going through my stash of seed as I listened and came across my stash of Sweet William, and realized it is not the Amazon series. Time to buy more seed….😁😁😁😁 Have a beautiful and blessed day! 🌺🌈🌺
Great idea! I know - this was definitely a “grab your notebook” type of episode 😁 If you have any specific questions, please feel free to let me know. Thanks so much for this suggestion, and have a lovely day! 💚🤗💚
Hello friends 😊 I have been watching for just a few weeks and I’m so happy I learned this just in time to get my cool flower seeds started to go out at the proper time in early spring. I ordered your book cool flowers it just arrived a few days ago. Already fully read lol. You have talked about a work book that goes with it. I’d love to get that. Also you have mentioned there are more cool flowers now than in the book. It is time for me to start some of my seeds mid February so next week. I don’t want to miss getting any started if they do fall in the cool flowers group. Lavetera and mallow in particular I’m wondering about. I’m in zone 3 by the way and my last frost date is May 11. So excited I now know when to get my babes started and out into garden. And I’m so happy I decided in the fall to prep beds to save time in spring…I didn’t realize then just what an important perfect decision that was!!! How do I get the workbook and can you tell me which flowers are missed in this book please 🌺🌺🌺
Thanks to both of you again. Great information and I love the beautiful pictures. I have good results with strawflowers here in Colorado. I had some blooming until early fall too. I love that you encourage us to experiment with something new regarding planting times and successions. I have a group of Sweet William I started about four years ago, the foliage remains green through the winter and then come back in the spring. Can you also at some time address the flowers that are labeled as being poisonous (both the seed, plant, etc) ? Do you still plant them and how to do handle them for your safety and those receiving them.
I’m also in Colorado. I left some Strawflower outside on the plant most of the winter. It was beautiful. I got the idea about winter dead flower garden from Denver botanical garden. Echinacea also goes well over winter, with yarrow and statice. This year, I will intentionally place them close together on a front yard boarder on the sidewalk. Pedestrians couldn’t get enough of the strawflower. They ended up stealing most of it. That’s when I know I’m on to something!
@@tanyakilbane7636 That's too bad that people helped themselves to your flowers, maybe you have to plant away from their path! Yes the dried flowers are very nice and I'm going to do more of them this year too.
Hi Lisa, I just ordered your new book and have been learning so much from this series. I've been growing flowers for 13 years and slowly made the shift from growing perennials to cut flowers. I have a full time job and am growing flowers for a side hustle. I have tried selling a few years ago at a local farmer's market which wasn't successful (hardly any attendance) and have had more success selling to farm markets (we have a lot of small farms near me). I watch your videos during my lunch hour and can't get enough! Can you do a video about post-harvest like when to add chlorine or holding solution, etc.? Thank you!!
Hello! Very early spring planting refers to getting transplants in the ground 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected spring frost (see 03:15). For strawflower, you could then try putting more transplants in the ground every 4 weeks after that. By experimenting, you will hopefully be able to determine the ideal succession interval and number of plantings for your growing conditions and needs. Hope that helps! ☺️ Thanks so much for watching, and have a lovely day 💚🤗💚
@@sheathompson2880 You are so welcome! So excited to hear that you are a new flower grower 😊 We have lots of great back episodes in the “Seed Talk” playlist that I am sure would be helpful to you, FYI. Enjoy, and have a great day! 💚
Lisa I have a question. I planted Sweet William seeds into small soil blocks. The plastic wrap I used to cover the blocks pulled some of the seedings out and I believe displaced some of the other ones. Can I try to push those little germinated seedlings down into the soil? Is it better to just start over?

Would’ve loved to have also heard about Statice. A list of cool flower successions would be amazing!
Great vlog!!! Thank you!!! 🌻🤗💖
Once again, very useful information, thank you!

I would love to have a list with dates for succession planting. This podcast was great but there’s so much info, I’m overwhelmed.
Great idea! I know - this was definitely a “grab your notebook” type of episode 😁 If you have any specific questions, please feel free to let me know. Thanks so much for this suggestion, and have a lovely day! 💚🤗💚
I hope you're going to make a list up that would be incredible for us beginners!
This is such a great series .thankyou so much ladies . Happy growing year from across the pond . 🌻🌻🌻
Yay - sending best wishes for a fantastic growing year back across the pond to you! 💚🥰💚 Hope your spring garden will be bursting with blooms ☺️

For strawflower for early spring what time would that be planted before last frost?

@@LayneAngelo thank you for the information this is my first time planting flowers 😬

Can you direct seed the later spring planting of straw flowers?
Lisa I have a question. I planted Sweet William seeds into small soil blocks. The plastic wrap I used to cover the blocks pulled some of the seedings out and I believe displaced some of the other ones. Can I try to push those little germinated seedlings down into the soil?

Push them down , why not?
