    My dad was an avid zinnia, aster, mum, cosmos and marigold grower in his organic veggie garden, and when he died in August in New Jersey 1985, I did the flowers for his funeral home showing from his garden. Baskets of zinnias and marigolds, it was so touching to everyone that his own flowers were with him, keeping him company in the funeral chapel ... makes me tear up.just telling y'all. Yikes most of the seeds are unavailable, sold out or discontinued!!😥

    You are such a Godsend! I smile the whole video each time. Since my husband died two and a half years ago, I have had to downsize from a wonderful green house, and an acre to play with. Now, a new day dawns, and hopefully, a new garden. You and your abundant grounds, enthusiasm, and just plain prettiness like your garden, with the eagerness to share, has been medicinal….showering the hope that is in every seed, or corm for a future joy. God bless you, and your “ministry” abundantly !

    Hi, Laura: I love these types of videos because it helps me plan for spring. One of the challenges I have is fitting everything into my garden that I want to try. Have you ever thought of showing how a small area of a flower garden can be utilized to its fullest, from early spring until fall using seeds, perennials and plants? I would sure help us gardeners get some ideas on how to try out different flowers for an entire season when there is limited space. Thank you!

    Thanks for this list of flowers. My sister works with special needs children, the school has a garden and the teachers and helpers show the children how to care for plants, vegetables and flowers. My sister won’t be able to start their little plot until January (Southern California, very warm in winter), so I got a small greenhouse and started some seeds so she can have an early start. By the time they go on vacation in May, they can take bouquets of flowers to their mothers. Already gave her some Espoma Starter Fertilizer!😆

    Such a good list! This year with the budget being tight I decided to gift my family (who are spread across the country) with flower seeds. I researched (googled) their growing zones and selected appropriate varieties. Additionally I added a note with tips (mostly from GA) and the reasons I chose that flower for them. The color was one of their favorites or drought resistance, sometimes it was planting space or sun exposure. My brother in AZ got Mexican sunflower seeds. The seeds and note were slipped into this year’s Christmas card. They were all so excited and 2022 we will be sharing our gardens together.

    I made a note to search for Phacelia seeds right away. I am always looking for the new and unusual plants that you can't find in the nurseries and this fits the bill. Thanks for the tip. Russell, as usual, brings a big smile to my face.

    Just had to comment, probably someone else has said this before but, I was happy to see workers in the background on this video. Your success as a TH-camr, and expanding your gardens, has created jobs in your community which is huge! Plus, it gives you time to make more videos for all of us--and time with your family. Kudos! And, keep up the excellent work.

    I like to scatter cosmo and zinnia seeds in my perennial flower bed in the spring so when there is a blooming lull later in the season, these annuals bring much needed color. You have inspired me to look for different varieties and colors for a fresh new look! Especially looking forward to trying sweet peas in the garden. Thank you for this list!

    Great info. I live in a zone 5/6 in New England. TOTALLY different environment than you. Wet, rainy spring. No New Englander worth their weight would plant an annual outside (except veggies) before Memorial day. Nice to know some flower seeds can go in early too. BTW I put sweet peas in my garden once to grow over an arbor. It was so invasive. I pulled it for years. Don't know what variety it was but it definitely self sowed.

    Love your program! I have learned so much in the year I've been watching! Self-watering pots have improved my flower hobby! Can't wait to try winter sowing. I've gardened for over 50 years! My grandmother let us help transplant seedlings in her greenhouse when I was 9 years old. My mother also cherished the growing seasons & shared her love of raising produce & flowers in our acre yard. I have the joy in retirement of living in my childhood home & have inherited her daffodil & lily collections. I've added to the beds & find your videos very helpful! Today's video on new annuals was exciting! I planted Supertunia Vista Bubblegum for the past two years in abundant array! May change it up this year & add some of those new variety!

We planted Zinnias for the first time last year and enjoyed them and provided cut flowers for home and friends as host/hostess gifts when we visited for event. Looking forward to putting seed to dirt and watching the plants start shooting up! Thanks for all you do to help us have great looking gardens!
