    once again, another video that was soooo helpful! Sometimes it's hard to tell what/where the seeds are. Sounds silly but for a beginner, this information was so informative. Thank you.

    Seed Saving is probably my favorite fall chore!

    Bri!!!! First, I love your channel! Please keep making videos! Even if you think the topic you have thought of to discuss is silly or irrelevant, please just film it and I promise I will watch! I check everyday for videos you may post and I get so much valuable information from you! I have stopped watching other channels because they have really stopped being about educational gardening and more of “fancy” things gardening and that to me just does not provide answers I’m looking for. At any rate, please stay true to your mission and I promise I will keep watching! Second, are you going to sell any of your seeds? Would love some of that bee balm and sea oats! I bought a coral cavalier mum you suggested in a video (the color palettes or maybe it was a garden plan video 🤔 ) a long time ago and it’s growing beautifully! The blooms are ready to burst open any day now!
    Keep up the good work! Garden on!
    Xoxo,
    a zone 8b gardener 🌺💜🌸

    The specific examples you've shared are so helpful! You've covered a range of seeds. I appreciate your effective video presence and examples from what can be harvested green (nasturtium) and what needs to ripen fully (hyacinth bean). The sheep in the fields are fun too.
    I look forward to your videos anytime I'm online, and especially thinking regenerative gardening. 🙂

    I did enjoy the video! And I was excited to hear you would have a meadow mix. Perhaps you have one now and I just didn’t know. What do you know I don’t know, is where you get your terra-cotta dishes. They are much more interesting than what I’ve seen sold individually or as pot/saucer. Where do you source yours from or do you sell this style in your Amazon store?? Thank you!

We are building a high tunnel right now. It is so nice to have you videos to get ideas from. Thanks for making them! If you are ever in the Boston area let me know.

    For the zinnias, is there an advantage to pulling the seeds from the flower while it's still got some color on it versus waiting for the flower to die back and dry up? This was my first year planting zinnias so I'm kind of winging it at this point.

    • @Blossomandbranch
      @Blossomandbranch  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Pretty much the only advantage is if you have a lot of birds that like to eat the seeds like we do!

    • @rosyreilly6400
      @rosyreilly6400 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's also easier to identify the color of the zinnia bloom, in case you want to plant just certain colors in the spring.
