2025 Seed Starting 🌱- Bells of Ireland and Cleome || Starting Seeds Indoors || Easy To Grow Seeds

[@sandychristiansen1749]

So envious that you could wear that white hoodie while starting seeds. I am always wiping my hands on my shirt and leaving dirt smudges. I love Bells of Ireland as well.

[@kathyley5661]

You are such a good teacher! Thank you 😊

[@shesamadgardener]

You are very welcome!

I use a wooden skewer to transfer seeds to the cells. Some people use toothpicks but I prefer the extra length of the wooden skewers and you can find a package of them in the grocery store and have a supply for the future.

[@shesamadgardener]

I'm going to have to try that! I have used toothpicks and tweezers but skewers sounds much easier.

Did Bells of Ireland in winter sowing jugs in my 6a/7b garden. They were beautiful. Seeds from Renee Garden. Going to try Cleone this year. 💐💐💐

[@shesamadgardener]

I'm so glad to hear they worked for you! Cleome is so much fun. I'm excited for you!

[@michellefrance1165]

Love Cleome 😊

I enjoy all of your seed starting videos! Thanks! Saying hi from a cold and snowy Sweden, zone 5 - 6 garden 🙂

[@shesamadgardener]

Hello over there in Sweden!!!

[@LilyValmonte]

💐💖 I love both of these flowers...also nigella!

[@shesamadgardener]

Me too! I love the frilly blooms on Nigella, they are so delicate.

[@kareninhtownmitchell9191]

Thanks for all your info! I hope y’all enjoy your snow. A tiny bit jealous here in Houston…💐

[@shesamadgardener]

It’s lovely to watch ❄️

[@debrabray8855]

Starting cleome today. Thanks for the tips!

[@shesamadgardener]

Have fun!

Another tip packed seeding video. Thanks Try men’s ankle socks 🧦. I wear a size 11 women’s, so I relate to the sock sliding down! 🤦‍♀️

[@lesliebehrens7252]

Hi. I had to chuckle. You and I laugh about the vicious Zulu Warrior flower, then you start Bells of Ireland….those spikes can GIT cha! I grew Cleome last year after seeing you grow them. They were sticky to touch and a little smelly 🤣. Are they all like that? I still have seeds so I will keep growing them. They are pretty for sure. Your video today was fun and funny ❤

[@maryshaddox1172]

Thank you. 👋

[@shesamadgardener]

You’re welcome! 👋

I was watching a different seed starting video from a flower farmer. She was using a toothpick, wetting the end of it, and using it to pick up small seeds and get them to stay on the soil. Makes sense so I am going to try that. I always have the problem of the seed and soil sticking to my fingers and I have no idea if I removed the tiny seed or displaced it. Let me know if you have tried this approach and it worked for you. Stay warm - I am enjoying the snow flurries falling in DFW today. NOT ice though!

[@shesamadgardener]

That's a great tip! Someone above also suggested a bamboo skewer as it’s longer and doesn’t cramp your hand.

[@juneramirez8580]

Hi Amanda! Coming from zone 9b low AZ desert! I LOVE those planting kits! So far I have 25 of them! They are made very well! I am starting so many plants for my new business AnnieJoe's Plants, and I can put so many of them under lights in my grow room on my shelves! I love your videos! Thank you!

[@shesamadgardener]

You're going to have so many beautiful plants!

[@diablomom]

7:10 pet peeve of mine. In the garbage they go! 😅

[@shesamadgardener]

Drives me crazy!

[@user-rosesroses]

Nice

[@shesamadgardener]

💚💚💚

[@harbourheightsja2383]

I'm going to try both of those seeds, but by winter sowing

[@eleanormarcellus8676]

Hope you do a video of snow Thx

[@shesamadgardener]

That is a great idea!

[@katarinaericsson7871]

You are really god att handwriting ❤

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much 😀

[@tammysmith4308]

I haven’t grown cleome in years. The ones I grew threw tons of seeds and I had trouble keeping them in check year after year. Some that you buy from the nursery are sterile so this isn’t an issue.

[@shesamadgardener]

Mine have never reseeded but I will definitely keep an eye out for that! Thanks for letting me know!

[@patboyle267]

The cleome looks beautiful looking forward to seeing them in your garden ❤ also what grow lights would you recommend where you don’t have to have the seeds close to the light?

[@shesamadgardener]

No matter what grow light you use, the seeds will always need to be within 4-6 inches of the light.

[@ladybuggrace9051]

I am doing Bells of Ireland this year. Live near Hershey Pa so a little early to start here

[@shesamadgardener]

It is a great choice for the garden!

Bought clone seeds last year but never started them. Anxious to try them this year. So should I pre chill and soak?

[@shesamadgardener]

I would at least soak them!
