Floret Farm Tour: Dahlia Seedling Patch

[@gingersflorals]

I'm so happy you're on KZbin! It's so much easier to find the information this way. Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration and so generous with your knowledge

[@susanmason3432]

Anxious to watch these babies grow.

[@carlas872]

OMG, those little baby dahlias are so cute! I can't believe you planted all of those in one day! Wowee!

[@SunshineFlora]

YAY for Floret on You Tube!

[@MarisGardenandKitchen]

Yaayyy!! So exciting! I'm very happy that you will be sharing all of that with us here on youtube too. I can't wait to watch them grow 🌸

[@AnenLaylle7023]

I'm a market gardener and your channel is helping me expand into flower farming. I grew some cut flowers last year (Asters, Zinnia, and Sunflowers) and the amount of money I made far exceeded the money from vegetables without about a quarter of the effort. I will continue to farm vegetables, but we're cutting out a lot of the veggies that take tons of space (pumpkins/watermelons) and growing flowers instea.d

[@mrsmango76]

You’re truly incredible and knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing. I’m learning so much. I didn’t know dahlia you could save the seeds. Thanks again and continue to share. Take care

[@None14384]

I love that you are doing videos on KZbin! Hoping for more to come 🙏 I absolutely love your mission and your vision. I'm growing your bees choice dahlias this year and can't wait to see how they turn out!

[@jeanettedeandre5525]

Erin, thank you so much for sharing how you discover new varieties of dahlias. Looking forward to seeing the blooms from my Floret Bee’s Choice Mix 🤩

[@cassbenelliegardens]

Finding your series inspired me so much. I’m already on this path but for a U-pick produce farm, watching you grow was so important to my journey 💕

[@n.w.414]

What a great idea to have your own section of garden that you can play with and do what you want. 💙

[@MelcieRae]

Thank you so much for everything you share with us .

[@M_Calderone]

Can’t wait for the tour when they are blooming!

[@elizabethr2908]

I can’t wait to see the varieties you come up with! I’ve been growing dahlias in zone 7a for two years leaving them in no dig beds and they have come back! I want to save seeds this year at the end of the season. I look forward to your seed saving video and growing from seeds. I hit the notification 🔔 ❤️

[@margarethairsine8648]

How exciting to be surprised with each bloom!

[@pattyharris9235]

That is a ton of work, but it is sooooo fascinating!!! I love all that you do and how you make it accessible to the average homeowner as well as flower farmers. Thanks and keep up the work.😂

[@LittleGardenBigDreams]

This is so helpful and very interesting to see what flowers you may get🌸 It’s like a flower lottery🙌🏼 xx Cathi xx 😘

[@theproperty541]

Just finding out you have a KZbin channel! My dahlia seedling babies are doing so well I can’t wait to see their new faces!

[@Flowers4Everyone]

So glad to see you!

[@DawnRegan]

I planted my Bee's Choice seeds this year and can't wait to see what comes up. Loving the channel and look forward to more.

[@SteveN-sy4bm]

Looking forward to seeing the next steps and best practices!! Thanks for sharing your experience

[@christiensgarden3325]

I tend to agree with the others. I am very happy that you’re on KZbin even though I do like to see your videos through your website.

[@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994]

Just love how you share all your knowledge!

[@karenm5681]

Oh, good to know not to pinch these ones. I have a bunch I started from seed. Didn’t know I could plant these experimental ones so much closer too! Wow! All sorts of very useful info…thanks for doing this video! So helpful.⭐️

[@ritagarcia30]

To hear your passion is so inspiring❤

[@chihuahuamartin24]

Wow! That’s a lot of work!

[@marinevet7273]

I am enjoying your Dahlia videos, Do you have a video on digging up and storing your dahlias ? I have struggled with this, I don’t know what medium to store them in, peat, pearlite, etc.

[@KaLinaAgriculture]

I love it ,good seedling

[@myfishisbubbles]

Thank you for this! I don’t have any outdoor space and am growing in a 3’x3’ bed in a tent and thought I was only going to be able to plant like 2 seedlings lol.

[@DiLea34]

Very informative, thank you! So, you do 4 rows 4' wide by 60' long with individual seedlings planted 4 rows per row, spaced 4" apart, correct? I have your book Discovering Dahlias. If you use a 128 cell tray, do you up-pot the seedlings, or plant them out earlier? Also, you mentioned that you do not pinch these seedlings, correct? Why is that? Thank you in advance! I'm so looking forward to next season's seedlings! :)

[@DiLea34]

Oops, also, what do you do with the tubers of the flowers you don't keep? Dig them up and compost, or leave them in the ground, etc.? Thank you!

[@silencedflower8441]

So first year trying to grow dahlias from seed.. 😂 I was able to grow (the big) 2 dahlias from seed this year.😜 Seems like so little.. in comparison.., but I am excited to see what they turn out to be and name them.., Oh and I also managed to propagate clippings off of a few other Edinburgh variety dahlias and they’re well rooted and looking good too. Starting to prep them for their return to the great outdoors. 🪴🙏🏻🫶🏻

[@johnOliver-hu4fp]

Finally able to make time in life to grow flowers & found you/Floret! So excited to grow your dahlias, but already making newbie mistakes:( My dahlias didn't just fall out of the tray like yours did in the video. Even though I bottom watered all along & they looked moist on top. However, when I went to plant, they were dry & I tore the roots apart, ugh! Was I supposed to water well before planting? Also, I squished in the bottom of each container to push it out & it was a disaster . . . I think I damaged them . . . hope they'll forgive me and still grow! So, what's the trick to getting them out easily & not damaging them?

[@Mindy-s-channel]

When do you recommend pinching the seedlings? Or should I not pinch them? I have florets daughters

[@paru60]

Do you ever get critters, deers eating all the tubers. .?

[@AC-garden]

Where do you get your seedling trays? I buy trays from the big box stores but they don’t last more than a season or two

[@TeamFloret]

We order in bulk from a wholesale company, but Johnny's Selected Seeds is a great retail option!

[@tuhuertoyjardin]

Don´t their tubers get tangled with the neighbor clump when you cull them? thanks!

[@TeamFloret]

We generally cull out the ones we're not keeping early enough that they aren't too intertwined.

[@tuhuertoyjardin]

@@TeamFloret Thank you!

[@heidib1362]

I'm just learning about dahlia's so I am curious, why won't you pinch these plants?

[@TeamFloret]

Pinching encourages the plant to branch from the base and produce more blooms. When we're growing dahlias for breeding we only need to see a bloom or two to determine if it's a keeper, so pinching isn't necessary. You can pinch your dahlia seedlings if you like, though!

[@LilacDaisy2]

I was hoping this was posted a year ago, so I could see the results right away, lol
