Thanks for growing your groceries with us! -CaliKim & CameraGuy
Awesome. Perfect timing. Just what I needed for my first experience growing dahlias!! Thank you so much!
Thank You for these tips.
I planted Zinnia from seed for the first time. They are just now blooming in zone 7a. Good to learn to prune for more blooms!
Do you have a link to the cages?
A compliment, your flowers are real purty, I can appreciate all the colors
I love zinnias so much that I got more seed packs that are different colors!
How do you grow dhalias??
Thanks, Kim! Such beautiful flowers!
Thanks Kim! Zinnias are quickly becoming my favorite summer flower from seed! (Sunflower & cosmos next)
I got some dahlia "bulbs" several months ago and forgot about them. (I know, so dumb!) But now they are pretty dry and I don't know how to save them. Is it too late to plant them or should I just "store" them (and how do I do that) until next spring??? I am in No. San Diego county. Please advise this not so green thumb'd gardener…
❤❤❤
Thank you! I missed your segment on Monday… really busy… I seriously needed this information and you explain things so that even us blackest thumb gardener can understand. Trust me, we do exist. (Blackest thumb gardeners) 🌹
The pump sprayer you were using looks different than the one listed? I like yours, it looks easy to use.
I'vd been cutting my zinnias and enjoying them in a vase inside. They're so pretty and I never would have planted them without your suggestion and seeds so thank you!
