You did a lot of work! Can’t wait to see them grow!
Love, love, LOVE seed planting videos! Thank you for putting them in alphebetical order!
I bought a couple of the Summer Pastels Yarrow as 4 inch plants. I planted them in the fall of 2021 and they got huge last summer! I may have to divide one of them this spring. They were excellent for cutting – very long and strong stems.
Question!! Hi Laura, do you follow the expiry dates on your veggie and flower seeds? Mine show an expiry date 1 and a half years after I purchase. So maybe I should scale back the amount of seeds I purchase. Thanks!!
Where did you get your garden sprayer?
Can you do a video on how to harden off all these beautiful seeds? I have the worst time keeping mine alive once I try to get them out😂
Hi 👋 Thanks Laura
Can you please provide a link for the yellow mister? (Maybe add to your notes in this video?) I remember in a previous video you talked about how the internal hose was weighted. Unfortunately I didn't note where you purchased it and now I can't find the video. Thanks for Team Garden Answer's inspiration to get out there and plant! Laurel 🌺
Are there any benefits to pre-sprouting instead of direct seeding when it comes to hollyhocks?
Whoop Whop!! I am so excited for spring. So far everything I have started is up and looking fantastic! I did start poppies and larkspur in winter sowing jugs…Zone 3b Saskatchewan Canada
Oh goodness, my eryngium got almost 4 ft. tall, bloomed the first year, and reseeded so much that i can't get rid of it. lol. It's cool though.
Amazing video, this makes me want Spring that much more. Thank you Laura for all the great information you always give us. It helps so much.
It's getting me in mood for planting flowers and a garden. Loved all your flower seeds.
Can you please link the s??????til garden website because I’m unfamiliar with it.
Love, Love, Love your videos!!! OMG!! How I have learned so muchhhhhh! Thank you for sharing Laura!!
Do you ever plant gerbera daisies since they do so well in arrangements
I'm wondering if you cold stratified any of these?
If we don't get to see the kids or Laura's mom, I always love seeing the cats! 🐈🐈
Love the comprehensive planting advice, but Russell and Cheddar Shenanigans are so fun to see. A little spice to your post.🐈🐱😻🪴👏💖
This video reminded me I have yarrow I need to get going! Now the question is how much? 🤔
Can someone tell me how warm you need to keep the greenhouse ? I have never started seeds before and want to begin this year. Thank you
Who wants to pop over to Laura's and help out with seed starting and just hang out in the greenhouse with all the beautiful plants ? 🙋🏼♀️👩🌾☕🌸🌼🌷🌺
just about all my favorites❤❤
"I don't need a ton of them," says Laura after planting a ton of other seeds. 😉 I don't do seeds (yet anyway), as I don't have the room and I have so many perennials to divide and move this year. But, I still watch, and never fail to smile at Russell and Cheddar. 😂 And I always feel a little sad when the video ends.
Love the cats!!!!!
Love the champagne Hollyhock 🤩
I'm hoping to get my Farmer's Friend hoop-house this fall if the grant with USDA comes through for me. I'm planting a lot of seeds right now too and I'm so envious of your hoop house!
I have to comment on Cheddar and Russel, it seems to me Cheddar is defending himself because Russel usually runs him off and maybe Cheddar is just tired of that. I think if it would have been the other way around Laura then your response would have been now Cheddar what did you do to make Russel attack you, but since it was Cheddar your response was Cheddar no wonder Russel runs you off. Russel is you favorite and just can't seem do any wrong.
So many beautiful flowers, looking forward to seeing how they do!
But I don’t understand if they say they need light to germinate but then you cover them up with vermiculite???? Is it light filtering????
I have never had very good luck with self sowing. I have spread many many seed packets over the years in many different locations with no success! Awful clay filled rocky soil! Uhh
When the seed "requires light to germinate" and im not growing in a bright greenhouse does that mean I should have my grow lights on them from the start? Or is this only referring to planting depth?
Amazing, your greenhouse is starting to look like your own garden center. Beautiful.
I ordered several of the same geranium seeds you recently started and have had almost 100% germination! I cannot seem to find the Espoma liquid you use in my area though, what else do you recommend for the seedlings? Amazon has it for an outrageous amount compared to so many others. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it has truly been inspirational.
I wonder if when you do a seed vid. like this, and you talk about starting, can you add detail if you have to repot along the way, or if you can plant out from the cell you start in? OR.. does that have to do more with the zone you are starting in?? (Ok nevermind… you DO give all those details!!!) Love your varieties. I need to order more seeds now!
Also I remember your spider mite issue from last year, and I was wondering if you could spray them with your budworm regimen, and keep the spider mites away that way?
I was excited to see the champagne hollyhocks in your collection, since I am going to try the same seeds this year! I was planning on direct seeding them, though. Is that a bad idea? Will you be direct seeding them, too?
Would love a video on direct sowing when weather permits. Thank you…your channel is the best!
I’m absolutely inspired by this video. I’m in a zone 9 so I better get started ! Last year was my first year seed starting and I loved having zinnias and sunflowers in my garden and as cut flowers. Question: besides a good rinse, do I need to disinfect my reusable seed trays?
I've never noticed before, but do you tag plants when you transplant to the garden? How do you keep track of what everything is out in the landscape?!
These grow wild in washington up towards Seattle and are poisonous
Most of the things you planted today, I have germinating on damp paper towels in ziplocs in my refrigerator. You didn't mention cold stratifying but I know you've done it in the past. Have you decided it's not worth doing or…? ~ Lisa
Really cool
Hi from Swedish Lapland! I have just recently discovered your vlogs, and now i want to watch them all! You are soo inspireing! Thank you! 🌷🌻🍀
Where do ya' ll buy your seeds from?
I just seeded some Yarrow, can't wait. Is Hollyhock hard to grow in 6b ?
One caveat on hollyhocks, make sure they are not on an invasive species list for your area, they will drop hundreds of seeds unless cut back before seed pods dry and drop seeds. They are absolutely beautiful and so fun to grow but be careful or they will overtake more space than you give them. Also, I would love to see a project where you start a heritage garden for your area. I am working on a native garden this year, but it would be so fun to see how you would plan and approach that type of project.
Will these seeds bloom this year (other than the first one that you mentioned takes two years)?
I love yarrow also, but am afraid to plant it again. A few years ago, I had yarrow that spread horribly, even coming up in my gravel driveway. Are there better, less aggressive varieties? Do you have variety suggestions that aren’t garden thugs? Love your videos and wealth of garden knowledge.
You mentioned that these seeds could be sown using the winter sowing method. I have just started some and it immediately snowed then we had sub zero temperatures. Do you find that seeds take longer to germinate when using the winter sow method?
How important is it to "direct sow" some flowers that have that recommendation? I thought Hollyhocks and Echinacea prefer to be sowed directly into the ground and not transplanted? Same question for veggies like carrots. This confuses me since all of these come available as transplants in stores in the right season. So why can a home gardener not also grow them from seed and then transplant them?? 😕 Very interested in this.
