This was good! I'd like these question & answers continued for perennial beds & vegetable gardening too.

[@edit-racha]

Good idea!! Me too

[@ggraham8751]

I agree!

[@samiramo3154]

Agreed! Ty for the wonderful information!

[@amandacook8298]

Yes!

[@stephanieblume5448]

Great Q&A. My take away is: do my research, dive in, tend, and see the eventual results--successes and not-quite successes. It's a win win because of the learning as well as the harvest. Thank You!

[@cindyhand6880]

Really good info. Weeding your garden is good therapy, time to have a one on one with God, I love gardening and the smell of the garden dirt. My older sister thinks I'm nuts, but I can't wait tell spring to come. Laura, you aaron and benjamin have a blessed week. Can't wait till baby girl comes.

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

What a wonderful video! Growing cut flowers both in rows and in the landscape brings so much joy both to the grower and the recipient of the flowers. Thanks for shining a light on our industry💗

[@foggybottomz]

@Northlawn I love your videos since you bring in insight as a MG and your grandma's influence and how you've been into flowers all your life!

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

@@foggybottomz I really appreciate that! The more flowers the merrier! I hope you have a great day!

[@joliewilkinson3]

I love this community so much!

[@FlowerHillFarm]

The Mahogany Hibiscus is one of my favorites too! I found harvesting it into hot water and letting it sit for 24 hours helped with the wilt😊💐🌺

[@heatherjuszcak9579]

This would be cool to see her try on camera.

[@Gin0827]

Why does hot water work for cut flowers? Does it work for roses as well?

[@FlowerHillFarm]

@@Gin0827 this also works well for dahlias and cosmos- and more- but I don’t recall it benefitting roses 🌹

[@LaurieEggleston37]

I had not been able to go outside for weeks due to a fall earlier and yesterday I ventured out to my backyard garden and discovered the Hellebores are blooming! I almost cried! What a wonderful surprise! Growing gardens is the best therapy for body, mind, and soul and I wouldn't have even tried last year without Garden Answer videos! Thank you!

[@Bamboo4U2]

Isn't it kind of early for Hellebores? What zone/state are you in?

[@LaurieEggleston37]

@@Bamboo4U2 I am in Washington State on the Western side. They have always bloomed in December/January for me. I am in a new house (after 20 years ) and wasn't sure these had transplanted well and there they were! Just as happy as they had been in the "old" house!

[@Bamboo4U2]

@@LaurieEggleston37 that's great!

[@valentinnedyalkov5120]

Me here totally captivated by Laura's answers and suddenly realizing that I have too many seed and not enough garden space !

[@lesliewit]

That's what gardening friends are for!

[@Midwestmomvolunteer365]

You are not alone.

[@barbarawalker9403]

And I have plenty room and not enough seed!!!

[@lindyclark535]

I feel that for sure, I just opted for a CSA veg box to make room for more flowers 😁

[@hibbardbc]

My friend and I share seeds, which helps this too many seeds issue a lot!

[@Winnie-Kay]

Who else paused the video and took screenshots of each flower? Thank you, Laura, so,so, soo much for this ❤ Oh hahahaha I just noticed the lists in the description.

[@jin8339]

I took screenshots of the list. Tomorrow I am printing it and pasting it in my Flowers book for reference. Like a quick look up. 🙂

[@lobeckdr]

its so funny watching, knowing that you don't know what the cats are up to behind you. You must laugh when you review the footage!

[@christiestacker1478]

Now I have to watch it again to see the cats.

[@karenmarie3326]

Your cut garden was amazing! I’d never believe it would’ve turned out the way it did if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. Pumpkins this year for sure.

[@ritasicari7518]

Northlawn Flower Farm has a video about establishing a cut flower garden in the landscape (not grown in rows). She also just put out a new video explaining her journey of how she came to incorporate a cut flower garden into the landscape rather than use all her space to grow in rows. It's a very personal story to her. She seems very sweet.

[@michellescountrygardens]

Danielle is a really good resource for many here. She is making a business of it in a smaller space and using just flower beds and not rows.

[@row1landr]

My pond plants have done well in vase; lotus, and the dried lotus seed pods, purple pickerel, purple water iris , gold water iris, cat tails, water fern, and I clip from my potted ferns. Congratulations on sweet baby girl! Renee in Virginia 🙂

[@ClevelandAngel]

Hi!! Marking you plants high! Keep a hole puncher to punch a hole in the plastic tab. Use 12 gauge 6ft hanger wires (50-pack). This wire is at Home Depot used to hang drop ceilings ($17.78). Can be cut in half for a hundred. Bend the top like a shepard hook then crimp it down after you put the label on it. Thank you so much for all the info!!😁

[@lorigano5]

We love you and so appreciate all you are teaching us. 💘 😻 💜

[@lindyclark535]

The KZbin channel "You Can't eat the grass" has some fun cut flower content as well. I'm so excited for my cut flower garden this year, I'm glad I'm in good company. Thank you for the inspiration as always.

[@45jessiemad]

Was very helpful. I'm going from 500 square feet of grow space to 2000 feet! I'm so excited and am planning on planting about 100 Zinnias! And lots lots more. For a former plant 🪴🌱 killer its a big goal but I'm gonna try! Wish me luck!

[@margareteraab3899]

How exciting. I had two dahlias for the first time last year and it was so exciting. I want to add more too. Her information is so helpful. Good luck 😃

[@amandaludwig8824]

Flower Hill Farm is a great channel for flower farming too!! 🌻 So nice to see more people wanting to have cut flower gardens - can't wait to try one this year 💐

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Thanks Amanda! 💐

[@amybroxton3931]

Thank you for inspiring me with all things in the plant world! In the most recent "recap video" you spoke about where you will be placing future walking paths. It reminded me of my college days when new buildings were added....they 'waited' to install sidewalks to see where students created natural paths and later sidewalks were added based on most commonly used paths. Just a thought. However, creating them from the get-go is an exciting way to develop meandering paths which lead the strolling gardener to interesting views is also fun. PS I LOVE the pallet walkway by the chicken coop and all the 'garden rooms' at your parents' house. So many options! Have fun! Can't wait to meet your sweet baby girl! God bless!

[@MagsMcG]

Last year I planted zinnias for my mom to cut and this year I'm doing a dozen more varieties for her. I'm excited for this video to say the least!

[@djmartin207]

I love Flower Hill Farm and for cut flowers in your landscape Northlawn Flower Farm.

[@emkn1479]

Peonies which don’t last long, can be harvested when the buds feel like a marshmallow and stored dry in the fridge for some time. Since the flowers can easily be destroyed by weather events this is a great way to extend the enjoyment. I heard this from a pro on a podcast, and plan to try it this spring for our gorgeous ‘Festiva Maxima’ blooms 🤞

[@eduardochavacano]

those are too beautiful to be cut off... i see a lot of those in China.

[@lyubay.3870]

Agreed. Peonies don't last more than 4-5 days in my experience. However, they are beautiful and absolutely a must-have in any garden.

[@lizsurbanroost3624]

Interesting... I might have to try that.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I tried it and it didn’t work for me. I did it several different ways, but maybe I didn’t do it the right way.

[@christiestacker1478]

How long is "some time"?

[@prismatica8416]

Roses and sunflowers are my favorite flowers. When I buy a house those are gonna be pretty high up on my gardening to do list.

[@blueskyeranch6495]

Yay! I’m growing cardinal basil this year for fillers too. I saw the seeds on Baker Creek and knew I needed them

[@foggybottomz]

I'm definitely going to rewatch your cut flower garden/pumpkin patch and winter sowing videos... For the 3rd time. There was just something magical about how you experimented.

[@bobbihofacker2706]

Flower Hill Farm has a good you tube video re: financials of cut flowers farming.

Marker Idea : Label A Long Paint Stir, Then Spray Both Sides With Either Clear Rust-Oleum Or A Product Called NeverWet.

[@mfrow8337]

Thank you so much for this....so full of useful information! Love these type of videos as well as the videos where you are doing. I love lists but am also a visual learner. Your videos have instilled in me a love of gardening . My Mom was a big gardener. Being from Europe, she grew plants for food but she always said that there was always room for beautiful flowers. She could make a beautiful bouquet from anything in the garden. You have the same skill and that is why I absolutely love your videos. If my Mom was still alive, she would be your biggest fan.

[@ashleyseamans6747]

All I heard was... cut flower garden course!!! I’d buy that! 💚 Thank you for this informative dive in. Many blessings everyone.

[@truthtalker4038]

@Allisyn H... flowers don't like being watered from above. If you let the sprinkler water your flowers, that is a big reason why some flowers don't look good. Laura's flowers are mostly watered from below and that is one reason they look so pristine!

[@donnaferguson3665]

Yes! Please make a video showing which of the easiest flowers to plant each week or m9nth to have a continuous show of flowers. Either single varieties or multiples of varieties. This would be soooo appreciated! We beginners need your hel, and you have so much knowledge to share! Thank you!

[@heathercole2447]

This was great! Maybe you could do a name tag and glue a clothespin to the back of it and clip it on your steak/wire/etc.? Just a thought! 😊

[@jessiestracener2408]

I never thought about zoning my wedding but that is brilliant!!

[@gardengrandma7662]

False Indigo is a favorite filler of mine all summer. Do you use this? We share a home and nine city lots of gardens. Also volunteer in the city gardens. You have SO inspired us! My daughter and I watch your show every day! If no new contact, we watch one of your older posts. My daughter, Mary, has a spreadsheet to check off. Just another reason I say you two are sisters!

[@ericaschaller5564]

Hey my dentist told me she uses rocks to identify her crops. She and her kids paint them all fun and then leave them near the plants! Just an idea for labeling

[@toninelson1956]

Thank you for the amazing information. I had a crazy huge zinnia garden last year and never thought to sell bouquets… you’ve given me a great idea. Going to expand it and make bouquets to raise money for a charity in honor of my son who passed… suicide awareness. Much love.

[@amandam5876]

Hello Laura, Have you ever thought about selling subscription boxes each month? They can contain the seeds you're starting that month in 3 different categories planters, cut flowers and edible garden seeds. It's a great way for you to make a profit and would allow for us super fans who watch the show to be able to follow along with seed starting, harvesting and arrangements. Which ultimately gives your videos more views and subscribers. It would also have us name dropping you when people ask where we got our flowers or arrangements. In turn growing garden answers. Me and my daughters watch your content all the time and all 3 of us are left saying how much we want those exact same items. Then husband is miserable as we drag him around to find everything needed putting me 2-4 weeks behind on starting whatever it is we saw in your videos. I know my family would absolutely love it if you had subscription boxes for the flowers you start from seed in your videos! Especially, to make planters and cut arrangements with. It would be so cool to follow along while watching with my little girls. Please consider it! Love your channel ❤

[@tammiereilly8829]

Hi Laura. Love your gardening videos. I have been watching for a long time now and have seen you say that you need to "up your labeling game". I live in SW Washington and as you know we basically live in the rain. What I use to label my plants is wooden paint stirrers. First I seal the wood with a white paint. Then label with a paint pen......don't use Sharpies ( They have their place but the garden isn't one). The paint pen won't bleed and will surely be almost like the day you made it by the end of the season. I have watched so many of your videos where you label with a sharpie and I'm yelling at my computer "Use a Paint Pen!!!!......It changes everything". I hope you get this. It makes a tremendous difference. Love your videos. Look forward to seeing you use that paint pen. Keep on gardening.

[@chicken26arick]

I would use a label that you stake high so you can see it walking down the row. I started a flower garden last year by planting two flowers. They did really well and I learned a lot. I’m adding dahlias this year. This was a great video!!

[@dawncampbell9385]

What you accomplished was amazing! Give yourself some grace!!

A good replacement for the Home Depot buckets are cat litter plastic buckets. That way they’re being reused and you’re not having to buy anything extra. Those of you with house cats can use these buckets for tons of things before recycling them!

[@jamesabler1360]

My family and I are going to try and do a cut flower garden this year and a larger veggie garden. So motivated to get it going :)

[@kristinep9023]

I live next door to my community park. They have huge piles of wood chips from ground up Christmas trees that they give away for free to members of the community. I use the wood chips to mulch the footpath between my garden rows. Worked great last year.

[@junewade2451]

i planted a wildflower mix in the summer of 2020, and while most didn’t grow because i left for vacation right after sowing them, the runoff from the lawn kept some alive. i have bachelors buttons and blanket flowers now and they’re doing great!! some of them are 3 feet tall! nothing else in the mix grew but i plan to plant more flowers in spring because i hate the maintenance and look of the grass.

[@sheriosborne7855]

Thanks Laura, there was a tremendous amount of valuable information in this video. Its like attending a master class for free !!! You're amazing

[@InTheGardenWithClaudia]

You made some really great points Laura. 🙂 As someone who’s really getting into cut flowers, especially on a bigger scale but don’t have a lot of room (yet 😍) I do agree variety is key. You always want to maximize your space by growing varieties that multi-branch that way you’re getting more blooms vs ones that one give you one stem. 🥰

I’m so impressed by your knowledge! You’re awesome! Thank you and hope you’re feeling well. You’re getting soooo close to having your little girl. I’m so excited for you! 👶

[@forexercises]

To keep the drought tolerant flowers in with you other flowers... use only one or two rows of drip tape instead of the three and seed the flowers slightly more away from the tape. That way you can have all your flowers together, and on the same water system, but the flowers that want less water get less by virtue of simply having less emitters near them.

[@MrGardeners]

Thank you for sharing! We can’t wait to see what you do with the new space this year. ❤️

[@sunshinemysticmoon6142]

Thank you so much for your channel! It has really helped me to not shy away from gardening and to just go for it this season!

[@crittergirl3647]

My first ever seed grown cosmos did great from my beginner Winter Sowing last year and bloomed all season, spring to frost. Loved them so much, planting more varieties this year. One of our favorite great thriller fillers is tall verbena (Verbena bonariensis.) Grows easily, tall and airy and looks great everywhere. Self seeds, but easy to remove or relocate. Going to mix in big containers with cosmos this year for a season long impact at a path entrance.

[@deannededemarievogel-hampt9954]

Thank you Laura for a great q and a. I'm so looking forward to seeing your flowers this year, last years were awesome. I wish I could do some in containers!! I would love to see the snow falling, I know its beautiful. Take care and God bless you all.

Thank you so much for putting this together in one place! Inspired me to go over my seed order for my very first cut flower garden and I am now SO excited about all my future flower bouquets!

[@BottlegardenUK]

I'm so glad you still go for it with a project even if you're running behind, or something comes up. Learning from failures and changing things up when you hit a bump in the road but with your eyes on the prize, seems to come up in this video and others. Determination and resilience seems to be a key feature of successful gardening. Also something to take into the greater space of life!

So so much great information! Thank you Laura for putting the time and effort into this :) I kinda went overboard and ordered so many different seeds to put out into the garden for me to enjoy. Without any seed trays, heat mats, grow lights, shelving units, etc. to start them indoors. Hoping to give the winter sowing method a try...

i have to admit i was staring out your windows (with Russell) watching it snow - something i don't get to see from my house! 🙂 i was listening tho!!! 🙂 and i am really excited to go through my seeds and get a spreadsheet started, similar to what you've shown us in the past... what i've really taken to heart and learned from you (so much learning!) is organization and fundamental planning/set up... i've started with the zone weeding and that is absolutely the BEST thing i've ever done.. 5 days out of 7 i work a specific area of my yard, and it's true: it gets faster and easier over time and suddenly you have brain space for the next phase: what to plant to keep the weeds down and have some fun out there!! i've started a little cottage garden, and man, my ears were listening and my brain was on fire with your flower suggestions... just need to see what can take the heat here in socal... i love love LOVE the idea of classes with you: gardening 101, cutflowers, vegetable growing, cooking what you've grown, herbs and drying/making stuff.... oh my, that list could get so long!! by the way, you look absolutely stunning - cannot believe you are days away from having a baby... 🙂 (i looked haggard by that last week, lol)... this was a great video full of good info!!! loved it!! 🙂 ❤ thanks for the video!! 🙂 ❤

Thank you sooo much for sharing all your information and knowledge. I grew cosmos from seed last year and i was so happy to see the results. I had alot of seeds that have been saved year after year so i know thebees and butterflies are going to be well fed. I usually save about 20-30 monarchs every summer so its nice to have other flowers besides milkweed
