Cut Flower Garden Seed Starting: Dahlias, Stock, Celosia, Feverfew & Scabiosa! 🌸🌸🌸 // Garden Answer

[@timwilliams5728]

Aaron & Laura, what a treat for my wife and I to run into you Aaron, Benjamin & Samantha at Andrews this morning. Thank you both for taking a moment out of your day to talk with us. We have moved from Colorado and converted our "Moondust" backyard at our new home in Idaho with suggestions from your show and several wagon loads of plants from Andrews. If all goes well I'll forward before and after photo's. Thanks again and blessings to you and your family.

[@reneeswallow2023]

Samantha's hands move just like her mama's when filling the soil into the trays! She pokes her little fingers into the cells, too! Love watching your children learning from you! Blessings!

[@wynorawishum5860]

What a perfect way to work, Doing something you love and having your children playing in the background so you can interact with them. They are such sweet and well behaved children. Love those sunglasses Samatha Grace is rocking today. All those seeds are going to awesome in your garden. Love watching you starting and caring for these plants. Have a blessed day everyone.

[@shenr2549]

and the cats too

[@PatriciaAShelton-no6cq]

A great way to save money,plus so many varieties you won't find at your local nursery. I have 200 plants that are up and I have them all out on the patio since the weather is in the seventies I'm Georgia. I have more seeds I will plant directly in the ground ,some California Zinnia an a sunflower that grows multiple blooms and grows only two ft tall. Planted two flowering crabapple trees. Laura praises them for the Spring color fall color and the red berries that hang after all the leaves have fallen,saying the birds love them. How can one not love a tree that does all that? I'm a senior, an I planted them anyway. One who plants a tree knowing they may never sit beneath its shade understands the meaning of life. ❤

[@katiedavis5861]

Beautiful! ❤

[@gamingwithfrodo]

Bless you, Miss Patricia, as you are blessing others with lovely shade and beauty.

[@cynthiamillentree4886]

This is my second year for seed starting and man oh man I am loving it. 💚 I have watched you Laura for a long time doing this every year, and you just smile, and smile about those seeds and the results of the plants, and what you plant. Such a positive way to start.

I cleared out my spare bedroom and it’s now my grow room! I started seeds too early so I’m doing a lot of potting up. I did winter sowing as well with 35 milk jugs on my deck with 75% of them sprouted. Exciting times!

[@RealBradMiller]

Bahahaha. Be careful. My entire house turned into a grow room. Had a Philodendron Selloum that took up an entire guest bedroom... And I slept with the seedlings and the cacti in the south side of the house. 😂

[@katiegray14]

Russell is here for ALL the petting you’ll give him!! 🐱

[@lisareichelt8997]

I love watching your precious kids helping…warms my heart. Oh…and your kitties too!

[@Blake.Cooper]

Aaron--you are killin' it with the uploads! Nice job!! Much love to all of you--my "friends in my head".

[@sharoncoon5439]

Love seeing Benjamin and Samantha helping you put! Cheddard and Douglas are our bonus cats to watch.

[@fancypinkg]

That is Russell

[@sharoncoon5439]

@@fancypinkg oops!

[@barbararichmond499]

I love watching your videos. Now to get my dahlia seeds planted. So cute seeing Samantha and Benjamin helping. She even has the tamping down of the soil like mom. Both of the kids are going to love gardening. I can see them working in the garden shop one day. Thanks Laura.

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

Life is Good! So fun to watch seedlings given the opportunity to share their glory.

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

This is the first year having a greenhouse--I have several things started but I can't wait to get everything else going! Spring fever is REAL.

[@rosealvarado264]

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️

[@leahjunkins988]

I love that you are giving your children similar childhood memories as your parents gave you. Passing along the good stuff through the generations!

[@kimbar11]

Cats are so funny. At 7:06, I can see either Cheddar or Russell lying under the table along one of the support beams.

[@upnorth21]

Love seeing the kids playing and helping, and the sweet cats. ❤

[@janettefisher256]

The sunglasses, just like Grandma . So , cute ! 😎🕶️

[@claracorimao1024]

A blessed evening to everyone!

[@marinbandel2574]

Good morning, Laura! Love this video and that, Benjamin! When you said, "You want to help me?" And he replied"coming right in!"I had the biggest smilie and sweet Samantha helping Mama fill up the seed trays was living her best life. I got a dose of plant info and sweetness all to start my day off great. Hugs from N.C..❤

[@juliafiore120]

5:57 Bless her Soul 😇 with her sunnies on😍 Simply precious, Laura. What a gift from God! Benjamin, too! Of course! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈🐈

[@sonnysome3201]

I love these spring videos with seed starting/repotting or flowerbed clean ups! Could watch these forever!

[@BrendaofNiagaraCanada]

I love seeing your littles getting into planting your seeds. I work in a preschool and they love planting and seed planting. We have small flower pots and plant marigolds for Mothers Day gifts.

[@Sathiera]

You guys are rocking the video editing and posting this week!!! Wow! Impressed! 🙌🏼 Ok, on to regular scheduled programming…

[@joydaniel597]

Even the cats are enjoying themselves in the greenhouse! Beautiful hotel for them.

[@cookiescott2165]

Love watching all the beautiful future flowers that will adorn your yard. Specially love watching the kids help and the kitties supervise. What a fun video. Thank you❤❤❤❤

[@marmaladesunrise]

Laura, I so love to watch you work. Your seed planting is so gratifying. Thank you so much for showing us your process! Such a sweet family. ❤

[@Deb-xn6yr]

Oh, how I wish I had a greenhouse !! , but it's always fun to watch Laura and the kids ( & sleepyhead kitties) play and plant seeds .🌱🌱 From Georgia with love ❤

[@lisagoggin8021]

I love watching your little mini ….filling up the seed tray…just like Mom …so precious

[@camicri4263]

Samantha is so with it, she loves the dirt like her mom!😍 Benjamin is a pleaser 😍 I love to see them both grow up! Blessings 🙏🏻💞💞

[@susiethomas6032]

I love the Florret collections, rainbow stock and all the different feverfew, unfortunately I cannot get them in the UK but it is nice seeing them in your garden. I love your little helpers 🙂 it’s so so nice seeing them get involved when they want to. I’m really looking forward to see what you do with all the geraniums because I think they would make a spectacular display in your garden. P.S. I bought some grow lights 😊

[@user-vo9nd5xd2h]

Samantha is a mini you Laura! She fills the seed trays just let like you! So darn cute!

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

Just think of all the beautiful colors that's going to be in your gardens. 😊❤ I can't wait to see all that beauty!!

[@tammyradnai9886]

Love your seed choices! And I really appreciate how you get your kids involved❤️. Just a polite suggestion, I really like it when people let us know if the plants are pet friendly or poisonous because we have a crazy jack russell who will eat ANYTHING, so we have to be really careful what we plant. I love your channel so much and really enjoy it!❤️

[@judyklein3221]

Good morning Laura! Samantha was really stylin in her leopard shades. So sweet for she and Benjamin to help. 💕

[@Fatimasroots]

I love Samantha and how she’s always wearing her sunnies when it’s bright out❤

[@joannghram5832]

Love the video! Samantha is so cute helping you fill up the trays with dirt. She’s been watching her mama as she does it the same way ❤

[@2000disneyland]

Thanks for the inspiration and education about cut flower seeds starting. Nice that the children helped too.

[@doeroftheword262]

I would LOVE to see you and Aaron on your own show, say on HGTV. Channels such as those usually do not carry gardening shows, and something like your KZbin channel would be a breath of fresh air. Other than that, I always tune in to Garden Answer everyday. 😊

[@justatitle]

Samantha is a natural. And Ben seems more like his dad, I think, he probably likes constructing more than prepping. It’s incredible the amount of work you do. It’s going to be so so pretty.

[@judydwiggins3456]

I used Espoma Seed Starter for the first time this year, thanks to you! My tomatoe babies look so happy and healthy. What a difference!! Thank you for your guidance and advice!! I love watching your common sense gardening. ❤❤

[@wandabrown508]

Another beautiful video. I loved seeing Benjamin rapt in his sandbox creation, Douglas, & of course Russell: cannot see those big feet enough, ha.

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Good Morning!🌱 I always enjoy watching the seed starting process! Anxious to watch those seeds grow & watch them put on their show of color!! 😃🌱💚💜💙💛🧡🩷

[@jltest5230]

My eyes lit up when I saw Laura was planting stuff. 😊

[@SueMenges1024]

So sweet ....she is learning so young with her mommy ❤

[@jeansunderland6115]

Still enjoy watching you plant the many varieties of seeds. Love your helpers!❤

[@jandaermold3406]

Your daughter looks like a natural next to you❤ I was laughing at how her little hands went in a grown-up way.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

So organized and so informative. Thank you!

[@joshuam0289]

Can’t wait to see your cut flower garden this year! It was quite a sight to see last season!! Might just have to try some seeds from Johnny’s this year, seems to be everyone’s favorite 😊

[@vickieyoung7122]

Lots of beautiful flowers to come from those seeds....so exciting when they pop up out of the dirt ! Love seeing Russell too.

[@AS-lm9xm]

So exciting to see the seedlings grow. Thank you for sharing.

[@zaria5785]

I’m really enjoying your seed starting projects and love that it’s out in the greenhouse. You look so happy too.

[@CatCaretakerID]

Almost finished with seed starting - wow. It seems like this year has gone so smoothly. Very few trays had to be put in the studio under grow lights, and she's had enough space in the greenhouse to start the remainder. I don't know - it just seems less stressful. I hope Laura has found it to be that way. Samantha looks like quite the movie star in those sunglasses. Adorable.

[@susanquandt6364]

I think I read that you are getting your spring ten days early. You go girl. My granddaughter calls her sunglasses her sunnies.

[@Yupitsmeagain2]

I bought so many Floret seeds😅 can't wait to start them!

[@michelegawrys7286]

Good morning! What great little helpers you have!

[@midvaleminis9736]

Samantha Grace is a little ROCK STAR!!! 🤩

[@gailagnello8159]

Great job Laura and the little mini you! Your daughter...also Benjamin is getting so big❤

[@starmountaingardens]

I ordered one of the Mesto misters from your shop and absolutely love it!! No more sucking air at any angle.

[@christiemay4444]

What an amazing green thumb you have! You always look so happy when you are in your greenhouse. Your children are such cute little gardeners💙💞

[@debmarlowe1204]

That cute little movie star look!

[@lonerank]

Wow what a treat 🥰💐

[@juliabinford6500]

That sea of green coming up is fantastic!

[@janwilliams4874]

I just LOVE watching Samantha Grace help her Mother!!! She really looks a LOT like her grandmother. And those sunglasses...then off she goes when another opportunity presents itself.

[@patricia.g1651]

Beauty is growing in your greenhouse!

[@susanscutt5654]

This may not be the right spot to ask this, but was wondering if there is an update video on your parents renovation planned? I would love to see the progress and would particularly love to find out what type of garden re-working is planned for the front/side garden area that was removed for construction. Even if everything is still in the “idea” phase, it would be very interesting to hear your mom’s process for designing a new space. Thank you both for inviting us into your gardens over the years! It has been inspirational and a joy to learn from!

[@montyshinn8704]

Oh my, I see a budding gardener in Samantha. She is adorable❤

[@Fatimasroots]

Why do I feel your kiddos brought you those flowers in the label writing scene🥹 how sweet

[@suekrebs3497]

How satisfying to watch! I will be doing more seed starting today also. I am also growing the Forever Happy Statice for the first time. I saw that in a cut flower arrangement last year and loved it. I also enjoyed seeing your little helpers with their hands in the soil. Enjoy your weekend!

[@pattiamaya4671]

I live in Austin, Texas Zone 8B and wondered if I could apply your amazing knowledge to my area. Summers here are brutal and we have had some unusual freezes. We have a saying " if you don't like the weather give it a minute" :) Thank You

[@jeanbrewer576]

Hi Laura and family I am a day behind loved this video wish I like to do seedlings Im not a patient person lol, and dont have the space. Thanks hope you all had a great day.🙂 👋 🌱

[@jimbag2424]

Love that your kind are involved in your garden.

[@donhorn548]

So much to look forward to this spring, summer, and fall.

[@katiedavis5861]

I purchased both famas due to your suggestion and will be starting them today! Very excited to produce more perennials for pennies. Thank you for the inspiration ❤

[@lindak7499]

Congratulations on the 1.86M and the fun video!

[@relaxingnatures81]

So calming to the hearts to see your seeds growing to beautifull plants❤❤❤

[@jackiehorsley9263]

sounds great Laura I am still doing the same thing It's been so much fun happy gardening

[@bonnierozean2909]

So pretty. Looking forward to seeing an update. Thanks 😊

[@rickyt3961]

Thank you Laura!🌱

[@deborahhopkins7763]

Loved seeing the kiddos helping you as well as just playing around as you are working on projects. I do have a question. Is Benjamin in pre k this year and will he start kindergarten in the Fall? Or will he be home schooled? They are both adorable! 😃

[@silviarojas9266]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos and learn.

[@capecodcottagegarden]

So many seedlings and they all look amazing! I love scabiosa. I have many plants started:)

[@lindalee601]

Love this video. It's so relaxing to sow seeds for yourself but it's 💯 better to watch someone else. It's so peaceful.

[@sassafrasinspired2029]

Love your little helpers!

[@user-yw9vm9gv9e]

Excited to see the geraniums the pink ones last year were stunning 💗💕

[@karenschwartz5209]

Wow, that was a lot of different flowers.😊

[@DayKing-wz9zh]

Thanks for the great video. Two questions for you… 1. Where did you get that nifty tray you use to hold your soil for potting (and what is it called)? 2. How big is your greenhouse? It looks lovely!

[@fastsetinthewest]

I really like these videos. The videos are so well presented. Exceptional explanations of material presented.

[@michelesimpson2237]

So excited how the floret seeds do and how beautiful they will be. My Floret zinnia seedlings are about 3 inches tall.

[@kristinejohnson9141]

I love using the mister for watering the plants im going to ge doing that from now on thanks for the info. Love what you do.

[@jeaniegobin1375]

Laura I think the agaratum is a perennial it comes back each year in a pot. I always think it's dead then it springs to life. I'm a zone 6. Thank you and bless you Laura

[@kitstah9741]

Good morning!🌻🐝

[@patrickboylan5514]

I ordered the Spun Sugar Celosia from Floret! I am going to direct seed them and hope for the best😮

[@catherinemann3378]

Watched a June 1 Garden Answer video from '21. Rainy Day Antiqueing with Mom. So from mid March this week in US & in two and half months of seed growing it looked really different at Laura's near to house garden in 2021. There were flowering pink gin foxgloves, wild indigo baptisia alba, with masterpiece lupine (burgundy purple) and pink poppy. Makes you think picnic weather.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Afternoon Everyone 😀😀

[@lynette11]

Will you start any vegetables from seeds? Tomatoes, peppers, etc? A greenhouse is on my dream wishlist 😻

[@redneckalchemy3022]

Hi, guys! We were wondering if you have a sure fire way to kill out fungus gnats indoors when germinating? Also, how do you control and eradicate Rust in your gardens? Rust has really plagued our gardens the past couple of years and it is SOOOOO frustrating! Stay cool, guys!

[@ddel792]

My mother, 93 yrs old, and i love watching your videos. I have a small greenhouse with no heat or electricity. I ran a cord to it for seed stater grow lights. They are on only when I am home. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep the seeds warm when the grow lights aren't on?

[@NikNakzful]

When are seedlings ready to be thinned out in the trays? 🌱 This video is amazing 🙌. Going to start everything from seed this year, this tutorial is a great reference to use, thanks and how exciting! 😄🌸
