I soaked and pre sprouted my Anemone and had a fantastic results, lots and lots of roots. It was my first time of growing them and I think it was beginners luck! I don’t think I will be as lucky again. I have a much harder time with the ranunculus. 😊

[@shomap8747]

I absolutely love watching the two of you for my anemone, ranunculus and delphiniums here in London . Thank you for inspiring me ❤️

[@BareMtnFarm]

Thank you so much for watching. We really appreciate it. Good luck on your spring flowers. 😊

[@lindabradley4350]

Thank you! Would love to see the clips you created to hold the frost cloth!

[@BareMtnFarm]

Hi @Linda Bradley, we are going to do a video on those types of easy home made things soon!

[@marianstallings7344]

I’m so glad I found this video you posted about growing anemones, I want to try growing them and I’m living in a zone 5b area. Now I have to see if I can buy corms this time of year. Thank you, I appreciate you sharing what you’ve learned.

Hi, from a fellow ASCFG member. Thank you so much for posting this. I've been using Sun Gro Metro Mix for my crates and I've been curious about moving away from both that and the conventional fertilizer I've been using, to a peatmoss alternative, with biostimulants. Thanks for showing us that it can be done, and that these crops don't have to be so input-heavy.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Tony. Thanks for your video. I am Julio, I live in Chile, and I bought three Caen anemones this year (in pots). When I bought them, they had very large flowers, and little buds just coming up. When flowers deteriorate, I plucked them with the whole stem. The second flowers (from each plant) grew up and open, but they were smaller. They are producing little buds that bloom after. My question is: How can I get larger flowers? I would like to have flowers like the first one the plant had, but they are smaller and smaller. Should I remove the little buds to have larger flowers? Should I select larger flowers instead of more flowers? I will acknowledge your help.

[@sassysuzyt]

I know you said you buy new corms every year but I was wondering if there’s a way to split/propagate corms? Thank you for sharing all your knowledge! I am forever grateful 😄

[@nevillewalker6299]

I took some seeds from our plants this year and have three pots full of likely looking plants. How long before they flower?

[@BareMtnFarm]

I have never grown anemones from seed. You may get some brand new colors! from a sprout corm till bloom for us has averaged about 75-80 days longer if you have freezing temps

[@michelleseefeldt6097]

How deep does the soil need to be when using containers such as these crates? Thank you, so appreciate you knowledge!

[@isobelholloway8900]

I have just seen your video ...very useful, thanks. Could you tell me when you actually had flowering ? I am trying to grow for a late February wedding.

[@FlowerFarmerAmy]

review was great! could you demo the fabric covering & clip setup, when you have time

[@BareMtnFarm]

Hi Amy Crawford we plan to do this soon.

[@lindabradley4350]

Last year I lost much of my anemone crop in the hoop house to root rot. Any KNF suggestions for addressing this during the soak? Commercial solutions seem cost prohibitive. Also, so you think the pre-sprout method using 50 cell trays would work for these too? Tyring to get an early start but plant out after 4 weeks of growth. Thanks for all you do

[@nic9664]

great and very informative, at the end of the flowering season do you leave them in the crates or dig them up and dry store for next season?

[@BareMtnFarm]

Thank you so much for your question. We let them dry and dig them up and store in open crates in our garage. We plant basils in the crates for eating and to sell for bouquets. Harvest them and plant anemone corms in the fall and around and around we grow. Thanks for watching.☺️

[@nic9664]

@@BareMtnFarm thanks for being so generous with your knowledge, kind wishes from stormy UK :)

[@ginetteblades9512]

Hi! thank you! I understand that you are using compost and actaully mineral soil, interesting. But what is on the surface of the media? looks like perlite? Ha! I am thinking that that I will want lots of air, I feel like I need perlite in the crates no? thank you!

[@jennyraesiplo2988]

Your videos are incredible! Did you make your calcium phosphate or did you purchase it? If you made it, would you provide instructions and dilution information? Many many thanks!!

[@courtneymellblom]

Oh yes. And also, would you let us know about how often you apply?

[@BareMtnFarm]

Hi @Jenny Rae Siplo We make the water soluble calcium phosphate on the farm. Here is the video on how we do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKm4i4Vnnd6tars

[@BareMtnFarm]

We apply this at bud development stage using no more then 4 ml or 3/4 tsp per gallon of spray applied every 10-14 days until peak bloom period.

[@karencarpenter4411]

you didn't mention what you are doing with the hypericums now. Send me a root ball! haha

[@younglee3285]

Hello, wondering why you stopped using crate method for your ranunculus and anemones?

[@BareMtnFarm]

Hi, we have never grown ranunculus in crates. But we still do grow our anemones in crates. They work great and are easier to pick. Thank you.😊

[@gapey]

What temp did you presprout at? Mine are in an insulated shed to presprout but they're taking a while. Seeing some growth just very slow. I'm in same growing zone as you.

[@BareMtnFarm]

Hi @Gapeys Grub We presprouted the anemones at ambient, no bottom heat. at that time in early October day temps were 65-70 night time was 48-55. It took about 10-12 days to get to transplant stage. They don't have to be super big to transplant. If they have roots but aren't showing green growth that works just fine with anemones.

[@gapey]

@@BareMtnFarm Thanks. I ended up bringing them inside to finish sprouting. They're at around 55-65 now and most have come up. Going to wait a bit longer to transplant them I think.

[@hungsigsgaardnguyen7498]

I think All of mine are dead because I left it outside with minute 12C. Hic

[@BareMtnFarm]

So sorry to hear that! @ Hưng Nguyễn Tiến, Lets hope they may not be dead but just burned back.

Anyone else get the floraspring poop ad? 🤣

So sorry about the ad about Floraspring....we don't get any control on ad selection 😬 Its all up to Google!
