You're me feel so confident starting lisianthus for the first time. I've learned soooooo much from you. And may i say what a cutie pie you are. Flower farming has changed my life. I gave up my 30 year landscape business to do this and you are
My inspiration to make the change
Happy for you Donna!
I AM SO EXCITED!!!! Aw, your planting on the coldest day we have experienced.wheee I love... And I needed to see this today!! I was planning my garden earlier and it was a struggle and wanted to cry. In August '21 my garden and my house were completely flooded... Last Spring my husband and I out so much work into the garden and finances building beds, amending the soil.. it was A LOT. And this year to have to do it all AGAIN. I am pushing forward tho, because I have a dream. This year I am focusing on flowers in hopes to make to some extra cash out of something I LOVE.
Great seed starting, made me laugh and reminded me of pancake making-if the first one is a mess the rest are perfect 😁👍🍀
Lissies are for sure the slowest flowers to grow! I've sown them in February last year. Just a few for fun. They grew steady but slow. I had flowers in July and decided to try harvesting seeds from them. Two weeks ago, the seeds still weren't ripe. So I cut the stems, entered them into my home and dried the pods. I just harvested the seeds! They look well, but They are the tiniest of seeds and there were thousands of them in each pod 🤩. I'm going to sow them this week, hope they are fertile. If not: it was a fun experiment 😆
Literally no one :
-" "
Nicole :
-" Moist."
You magnificent cheeky beast :D
🤣
I'm going to sprinkle Cinnamon on top of all my seed starts this year because I'm into it. LOL...moist.
Yum! That works too! Smell is a bonus :)
@@FlowerHillFarm Now you have "Cinnamon Girl" stuck in your head- huh?...I know.
I don't know which I enjoy more, the camaraderie of a fellow farmer and watching you do your thing, or all the animals which just makes it so "normal" for me especially the chickens as I have done the chicken ninja moves like you way more than I want to admit. If my neighbors ever made videos ........
zone 7..I started mine in Oct/Nov in jugs and left them alone and they're doing wonderfully. The ones I started indoors got moldy because my soil was too wet and the room was too warm. I know jugs aren't feasible for someone growing on a large scale like you are, but for home gardeners, try the winter sowing method in jugs.
I want to try this!! I never had much success with them starting indoors
Do you mean like milk jugs?
Yay for lisianthus! Good luck! I’m looking forward to your 2022 growing season.
I think Lisa Mason Ziegler also uses Gnatrol. If I’m not mistaken, she mixes it with her weekly fertilizer. Plus she has those yellow stickies everywhere.
The "moist" at the end 😂🤣😂🤣
So glad you posted this today! I’m just sitting down to start my lisianthus now that the kids are in bed. Happy New Year lovely lady and happy seed starting!! :)
The song you were humming was from the movie Dirty Dancing the end of season show! I was just at Lake Lure NC had dinner at the Lake Lure Inn where they filmed some of it. Cool place!
I started my first ever batch of Lissies on January first. Will be excited to follow along and see how mine compare. I watched several of your Lissie videos before I actually sat down to sow them. I’ve got three varieties, one of which is a Roseanne green. Thanks for the wonderful videos!!!
We are starting ours tommorow! First year growing cut flowers.
Awesome! I started my lisianthus seeds in late November and late December. They are growing really slow
I use a chopstick instead of a toothpick, it makes my hand feel better to grab something a little thicker/longer. You can whittle it down on the end if it's too big.
Love the content, can't wait to see you start all your seeds again this year!
Does your toothpick water system work with snapdragon seeds? I planted hundreds more snaps than necessary in each section of my plant tray because they are very hard to see! So much heartbreaking thinning! Sad to waste those little plants!
Yes I use it with snaps as well. They are VERY tedious
Hi Nicole, I'm so glad you posted this video. I just sowed my Lizzies yesterday. Same thing - only limited it to 6 varieties. I've never grown them before and I'm super excited!! Can't wait to see how yours do.
The dogs. I'm dying. 😂😂😂 I have my first-ever lisianthus to start. Gotta do that. Good to be on the journey with you.
Warms my heart, this cold day in Idaho, to see you again, starting seeds!!! I’m going to begin winter sowing soon!
I planted my lisianthus on Christmas Eve. Still waiting patiently :) I ordered some 200 plug trays from Bootstrap Framer and some of the shallow greens trays to put them in. Really nice product. Thanks for recommending them! Also, have you ever tried moistening the starter mix with boiling water like Gary P from the Rusted Garden does?
I didn't think it would happen... I saw the first microscopic hint of green I my Lisianthus tray that I planted on Christmas Eve! Wow!
Fern. good dog!
You are BEYOND refreshing. Keep being you, and hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday and new year.
Thank you! You too!
So when you start your Lisianthus in Jan ... when are you first getting blooms? Have you had better germination with any specific Lisianthus. Last ..do you grow - Grace Shell Pink Clarkia Seed? If so -- do you like it. Thanks! Martie
I would love to have a set up like that...I'm just a home gardener for yrs,,but doing well...thank for all the good info,,,I'm determined to grow these flowers,,this yr 2023
What am I doing wrong? I sowed my lisianthus seeds the day I received them, April 23rd and I still haven’t seen any signs of germination. They’re on a heat mat and they haven’t dried out, I spray the top. I did lightly cover them with vermiculite. My package said they take 7-15 days to germinate, and germation guaranteed 50% or higher. Yours are doing so well! I’m not giving up. Next year I’ll start earlier and I’ll order from Johnnies .
Congratulations on 2021! What a great year reviewing all your videos! WHERE & WHAT KIND OF SNAPDRAGONS DO YOU PURCHASE? I also saw your crop of Ageratum. Beautiful. Where did you buy those seeds? I am wintering over my Lisianthus inside with grow lights from last year. Hope it works! Blessings!
I hope you share a video When you start your Ranunculus and anemones. can you share your target date you plan to plant outside and if you will be using a high or low tunnel. I’m in zone 4B NH and am using you as a reference on when to start and transplant stuff. Thanks for your great videos
I don't understand why people don't like the word "moist"? What's the reason?
The 1st of things screwy means a magical season😃 love the dogs they are too cute
Yeah good call on not licking the toothpick. We don't want you to be like the Radium Girls 😜 with my Vermiculite I crushed it down a bit in a freezer bag with a rolling pin. Still got the Algae though 🤷♀️
Not the last word on the video being "MOIST". I cant' with you. 🤪
The plastic on the walls & ceiling, is it to keep humidity in the room?
Happy new season! Thank you for your work posting so much info. Love it all. (The little cup is, a demitasse.)
Lizzies. Yay. I started mine on Dec 15th. I might be a little early, but I'm hoping 2nd time trying to grow them will be better. I didn't get any flowers last year 😕. Is it a coincidence I also lost my first seed.
Hey! You can find extremely durable seed starting trays that large at bootstrap farmer!
I was too intimidated to try lisianthus this year, maybe I'll try it next year! I started some cool flowers this weekend and just shared the video. Good luck with the 2022 season!
Hello I like you video
And I want a little information about lisianthus?
I love this. I love all of your content. Please…can we also talk about Fern. She is so precious!!! I can’t even!!! 💖
I wanted to try lisianthus but I was reading they’re so hard to deal with from seed and I don’t have the means to get plugs just yet. Did you enjoy the plugs last year? Maybe I’ll try them for 2023!
I am so happy you are well and happy! You are going to have such a great season!!
Completely unrelated but I got my Flower Hill Farm t-shirt today and I love it! Love your channel!
Has anyone tried a hydrogen peroxide dilution to kill gnats in soil? I read an article about this yesterday and I am very curious if it works. Supposedly it also oxygenates the soil as well as helps control algae.
Hopefully one season I work up the courage to start lisi’s from seed!! Luv ya girl 🌺
Moist! 😂
Love your channel. Keep it up
Looking forward to 2022 growing season. I just got your beautiful calendar on Dec 30th, good timing.
Yay!!!!! Let the seed starting begin!!!!!!!🤩🥳🥳
I love that you left us with a low key 'moist'
Lisianthus in soil blocks … recommend it or not?
Good to see your smiling face again! Happy new year!
Yes! I’ll be starting my lisianthus this week! Do you plan to field plant or put in your hoophouse? I am leaning towards leaving space in our small hoop house for them. My field planted were ok but not spectacular last year. Happy Growing! Tara/WildBirdFarm zone 5
I’d like to try some in the hoophouse this year
Thanks for the info about the gnat control! Didnt think about that
Hoss Tools sell large trays that are similar to the one you have.
Hi look at the Paper pot seeder, seeding trays.
Is there a list of wholesale seed suppliers that you use?
"Lick"-&-Sticking the lissies looked tedious, but it looks WAY LESS tedious than plucking the seedlings out one by one and replanting them. Out of curiosity, how long did this process take you?
Seeding? The 600 took less than an hour including washing and filling the trays. The most time consuming part is filming it for a TH-cam video 🤣🎥
Look how beautiful and organized!
6 degrees here today and I got my seeds!!!
Where is the best place to get seeds from
What do you do to avoid gnats in your trays? I started some seeds last year, I added boiling water to my seed starting mix and I still ended up with gnats, I ended up just tossing my seedlings because they were infested 😩. Any tips you can give me?
Ope! I should have finished watching the video first lol
Opened up description tab and you have " send a gift to flower hill" just gonna say that put me off to subscribe to your channel, just my personal opinion..
Thanks for the feedback Leeanne. That is there because on a daily basis I get messages from my viewers who have watched my videos for years and want to thank me by sending me something. The pandemic has been a difficult time and I've been a friend to many of my followers and because they can't support my business by buying my flowers, sometimes they'll send me a garden tool in the mail or a token gift to show their appreciation for the work that I do.
Wer do you buy the seeds from?
I was literally sitting down and starting my lisianthus seeds when your video popped up. I started just under 300 last year but this year I am doing around 800. I sure hope I can sell all of these. I can not wait for your next video. It is a joy to listen 5o you while I start my seeds. Here's to a great year of growing and selling flower.
Thanks Heather!
Hi Heather! I’m wondering if you use heat mats on your lisianthus? I’m sowing them for the first time and I was under the impression they liked it cold so I would not use a heat mat. But I’m at like day 10 and I’ve seen zero germination and will be starting g some more. What about cold strat? Do ya do that at all?
@@stacylamountain2233 HI. I started mine with out heat mats and they seem to take a little longer to germinate about 12 to 15 days.
@@stacylamountain2233 I have grown them both ways. I am not going to use them this year. Last year I did and notice the leafs curled. They grew just fine after I took them off. I have only grown them for a few years but have had great success. I fine the lights keep them warm enough.
@@stacylamountain2233 I do not use heat mats. I did use them one year and the leaves 🍃 curled on the ones in the center of the mats. The will germinate just fine without them. Your seeds will not germinate if the seed coating is not dissolve. Mist them every morning to help get that seed coating to dissolve. The seeds can take a long time to germinate. Be patient.
My seeds all died but I did grind up the vermiculite because the chunks were so big. Might be worth a try.
Yes I think the chunks are a bit big. Grinding them is a good idea
I’m about to plant my seedlings out into my cold frame. Super nervous because it’s ridiculously early here, but I’m putting heat cables down as a backup. I’ve gotten a lot of confidence from your videos Nicole. Thank you for all your great content.
Hallo Nicole how are you so so much more to showing and Happy a new year to you and your family members so so much more to showing and where are you from many years ago 🐄🐐🐶🐺🕊🕊🕊🐔🐉🐍🐢🐊🐸🐓🐣🐤🐥🐦🐿🐘🐇🌷⚘🌼🌸🌱🌲🌹🌻🌺🌵🌾🌿🍂🍃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💏💏💏💏💏💏✌💪👍👏👏👄👅💋💘❤💔💕💞❣💚💎💍👙🏀🏇🏋🏑🏌🏄🏓
The ending 🤣🤣🤣
Go cuse!!!! Helpful video!!!! Gonna start my Lizzies early now. First time growing then this year.
lol you said moist
I start 1000s of seeds a yr. I too have already started. I use 406. And 512 tray mostly.. i use tweezers to pick up seeds to plant .. might give it a try. Best of luck!
You make my day girl!!!!!
I panicked when I saw the thumbnail! So I started placing my seed order.
Yikes!
Love the Syracuse sweatshirt, my dad went there in the 40's, I went to nursing school there in the 80"s, and my daughter went there 20"s. Love your singing....
Hi I can’t find the G O seeds you mentioned ca n you advise me please
Geo
Nice end! Hahahahahah
Just found your channel and I’ve got to say you are one funny lady and make even the tedious tasks enjoyable. I’m in the UK and have just found Lisianthus so I’m trying them for the first time. I’ll be following you for my “How to Grow” guide so fingers crossed they germinate. I always struggle with watering but will follow your lead on spraying. Thank you for a great video.
Oh geez hahahahahahaha!!! My daughter CAN"T STAND the word moist hahah!! I kinda enjoy messing with her with it lol
Hey! I'm new to growing flowers 💕 do you have any videos talking about the different flower varieties you grow, when to plant, harvest and common pests/problems? Or maybe you know a good resource for this? Thanks! 💐
You said some of your lisianthus took longer to germinate, so I was hopeful for mine, and just like you said, they germinated and are doing well. They’re so small, I thought it was just reflection on the vermiculite but I put 1 seed in each 6 cell, and they all have a tiny seedling. I’m excited but wondering how long until they get big enough to really see them easily.
Waiting on my Lisianthus seeds, mixed colors only 100, and 100 white, I have to try!! 1st time
Entertaining video. I don't know much about starting seeds so very informative. I think the song you started humming before the dog interrupted was the song from Dirty Dancing. The camp song at the end. Did I get that right? :)
Moist 🤣
Moist.
😂😂😂😂😂
I must have done something wrong. I planted mine 3 weeks ago and not a sign of life yet. It's frustrating, but Happy New Year!
Have you ever heard of using chicken grit lightly on top . I was told it keeps bugs and fungus away?
I'm starting lisianthus for the first time this year on the Wa/Id border. I've always been intimidated but watching you the last couple of years has given me a bit of confidence. Just bought my heat mats and they're on their way but in the mean time....and I know you'll laugh....I've got my pepper seeds germinating on a solar cover on top of my hot tub that is located in the house. "if it fits, it sits apparently doesn't always have to apply to cats. It's worked so far. Can't wait to see your garden this year!
If you don’t mind where you get your ranunculus corm it’s beautiful
Hi Nicole I'm from India. I saw lisianthus for the first time on your channel. Then I searched about them on the net and now I'm growing them in my garden. I wasn't sure of the temperature required but sowed the seeds in nov. I have 4 germinated and doing well. I'm looking forward to see how they perform so that I can add more colours next year.
🤣 aaand the video ends with the word moist! I am dying of laughter! That's great
what temp is your growing basement at? Can I start mine in my garage which stays between 53-55 degrees with heat mats and lights? first timer here in Montana:)
Moist lol omg you're comedy:) thanks for the smiles!
You are so funny! YAY its seed starting season i love starting seeds. Im currently waiting on two big seed orders to come in the mail, im ordering early this year, alot of stuff was sold out quick last year! Hope u have great sucess with all your seedlings! Keep us posted!
I planted some 3 weeks ago, as far as I can tell not one is coming up. I meant to only plant half of them however, they are so tiny that didn't happen. I hope the absolute best success for everyone planting lisianthus seeds. Take care and enjoy.
Check out a seeding wand, so much cheaper and different tips allow you to use with different seed sizes
I personally found that using a fan was much better at preventing algae. You need to water them more often but worked out better for me.
I too found it a bit risky with the vermiculite getting in the way and sucking up water.
I did this 2 weeks ago, using Jonny’s seed, none of them came out, may be too dry?
I received those wonderful seed cups as well!! Are they not the best??! She was so sweet to send them.
Currently down with the sickness 😷 which when I said I wanted to stay home and work on the farm, this is not what I meant. 🤦♀️ I'm glad I get enjoy all the flower content I want while I'm down though.
Awwww hope you feel better! It’s no fun. I was sick for a month!
I saved seeds from some lisianthus I bought. All my seedlings died one at a time throughout their 3 month life. I'm still not sure if I will start them this year or not.
I think they are as slow as Penta and begonias they take forever
Happy New Year to you and your family!
