FOXGLOVES: From Seed to Harvest (Even in Hot Climates)

[@honeydew4576]

I planted them this year and looked to your video to see why they aren't blooming yet. As I figured, they won't bloom til next year. Thanks for your informative video.

I love foxgloves. They are easy and beautiful . FYI they are poisonous. Your videos are informative, to the point and you have a nice voice

[@bjbrown6488]

Love these! I'm going to grow them this year, first time.😊

[@michellewelch6013]

Beautiful and as always, educational video. I love that your videos are succinct. And thank you for not assuming we cant grow plants such as digitalis because a kid might eat it. My mom grew gorgeous foxglove, and I never ate one. :)

Hi I live in Los Angeles I love your channel. I can’t believe I just found you. 😊

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

So glad you found me!

[@hazratkhan9232]

Highly appreciated🎉

Gorgeous!! Great video! Hey, way off topic.. could u address which type of onions to grow (long day short day) and when to plant? I’m so impressed by your recent onion short. Thank u!!!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Sure - short day are the best for AZ (if that's where you're growing) You generally plant in late fall. You can learn more in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoWplZ5seMd0bcU or blog post growinginthegarden.com/how-to-grow-onions-10-tips-for-growing-onions/

Hi Angela! You mentioned starting them inside in July and August; but you also said outside in October and November. Did you mean plant outside the seeds you started at the end of summer, or did you mean direct sow in the fall?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I like to start indoors in the summer and plant those transplants outside in the fall. I've had the best luck with transplants rather than seeds outside.

Question: given their toxicity, should foxglove plants/ flowers be thrown out instead of used in compost/ mulch/ etc? Thanks for all your incredibly helpful videos.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Done correctly composting will break down toxins, however to be sure you could throw them out.

[@paulgentry4172]

I’m going to give those varieties a try. The peach ones are beautiful. We have foxgloves around the garden. They are great self-seeders. I’m surprised to not see them in more gardens.

@ 3:17 What are those tiny red bell shape flowers Angela?. They are really cute 💕 😍

I have a question about what to do with my spent garden at this time of year. Should I leave “done” tomato plants in ground and water to keep dirt healthy. If I pull them out won’t the soil lose its quality. I live in Peoria Arizona and it’s too early to plant for fall

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

I'll be addressing that in my upcoming August Task video. short answer: Keep soil covered with mulch and water enough to keep it alive. You can remove dead plants. Consider planting a cover crop.

[@sallygaillard7335]

Thanks

[@paullanders]

If you save the seeds from the 3 perennial varieties that you recommended, will they come back true, or since they're hybrid will they revert to one of the parents?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Hybrids may not be true to type.

I have foxglove but mine never look this tall .

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Planting in the fall helps the roots get established and the stems grow tall. Variety selection also makes a difference.

[@joyhamilton4248]

we have dozens of foxglove because they are toxic and the deer leave them alone!
