Successes & Failures of Winter Sowing and Overwintering Bulbs in Containers! 👍🌿// Garden Answer

[@007Lehua]

🤩 Totally off topic, but this weekend while I was roaming around our local nursery, buying up a storm, someone approached me and asked me if I was friends with Laura? Realizing we were both wearing “Garden Answer gear” of course I said yes, via KZbin. We both laughed and introduced ourselves. What a joyful moment. Afterwards the owners daughter approached me, wanting to know “Who is Garden Answer?” so I explained- Now, she’ll be catching the GA vibe. 🤩💖

[@roopam_mishra21]

Oh, that is so sweet! Laura is indeed a friend I (we) long to see every day- on KZbin. 😀

[@malliemargaret2895]

That is awesome. :)

[@Rorosierose]

Wow I absolutely love this

[@sweatpea80]

I was training a coworker (virtually) last week and we got to talking about how we both love plants, but she does more with succulents. I mentioned Laura had done a lot of cute things - and found out we both love this KZbin channel!

[@robingrunzweig1880]

I think your dream came true to have a grouping like Claus Dalby! They look gorgeous and I agree they are perfect in a grouping!

[@mariafolch8067]

Now she needs to raise some, at least on the front porch.

[@carolbailey3487]

Yes she should do it every year! Clausby vibes all the way, it looks soooo good, and just wait till the rest of the bulbs start popping up!

Aww...I love the idea of leaving some daffodils 🌼 for your neighbors. This year my Beloved husband & I are experimenting with sowing seeds. Which we’ve never done before & are excited that most seeds are coming up! My husband walks a street ministry and ministers to the homeless & those who struggle with addiction. Part of the team makes homemade soups & stews & we’re planning on giving those who cook, a portion of our harvest so that they can make homemade meals and give from the heart. I So appreciate the heart of giving back. 💛

Orchard meadow idea: all of the container bulbs can be planted under your fruit trees and let the grass stay long there. It will be so sweet and delicate looking! 🌷🌳

I had 14 out of 15 Berried Treasure Red seeds germinate. I did have them in the freezer for a month. My seeds were delivered in a box with other things I ordered. They were in perfect condition. I also used self watering trays and a seed heating mat with the clear dome on until they all germinated. They were under grow lights for about 14 hours each day.

Good morning !Totally off topic . My granddaughters Sophia who is four , Charlotte 18 months old , and daughter in law went to a Nursery Open House on Saturday, April 17 . It was a beautiful day in Hicksville , Ohio . I had worked the morning and was so excited to have an afternoon girls day out ! I was introduced to Garden Answer last year in March by sister . She told me I think you would enjoy and learn so much . So I started watching since I had time off work . I quickly became addicted! We have five acres of land always enjoyed container gardening but now due to gaining knowledge and more enthusiasm because of you I stepping out of my comfort zone. adding a cut flower garden and adding more to landscaping and it is very exciting time of the year. Oh so back to granddaughters they are also are enjoying looking and loved the greenhouse outing . Sophia was looking at tags is able to read symbols of which plants are for full sun , no sun and part sun . While waiting line to pay for plants I handed the girls the Proven Winners idea book . Sophia was going through it and said , “look Nana it is your favorite person Laura . “ I loved her statement . So Laura thank you for sharing all your knowledge and information . The last year has been a difficult year . I have found a new passion for gardening it may not be grand or the best but I am making it my own with a wealth of information from you and your husband love him too ! Thank you again !

[@hollyb8993]

with the buried treasure seeds I put them in the fridge for about 2 weeks is all (even tho PW specifically told me they wouldn't need it-maybe they store them refrigerated...) anyway when I started the seeds I started them on a heat mat and the whole tray germinated, Yea!

[@amlindjohansen1502]

YES! I have been waiting and waiting for you to do the Claus Dalby inspired container display - it look glorious!

[@StormWarningMom]

Because of you I planted a dozen tulip bulbs in these pots I purchased, and most of them bloomed in spectacular fashion over this past week. It made my heart so happy!! Thank you Laura. 🤗

[@CaribouHue]

Btw All - Colorblends is now taking orders - get those bulbs orders in for Fall planting! I had to get some of those Cassada Daffs - too lovely to pass up!

[@Melissa-gg8xc]

I'm glad to see other comments on Berried Treasure... and I was so glad to hear Laura say it. I had 2 seeds germinate and I did freeze them for 4 weeks. They are the smallest, most coddled seedlings I have and I fully expect them not to make it. I'm a bit disappointed but now at least I know it wasn't likely something I did wrong. I only hope my garden center has them this year. The established plants look easy to grow!

[@lisacheezecheeze1002]

Me too! I'm hoping to buy the plants. I have a raised garden set aside just for these!

[@amym1886]

I felt a little relieved not only seeing that your buried treasure seeds did not germ and also reading that others had issues too. I was most excited about these seeds when I did my winter sowing and was so disappointed when I didn't get anything. Watching your videos not only inspires me but also helps this beginner not feel so bad when things go wrong.

[@eleganceandwhimsy]

I kept all my bulbs in pots in my basement all winter. No watering. I put them outside one month ago here in Massachusetts. They are just beginning to come up. Last year I let them bloom in the house and they all came up at the same time in March. My house looked like a florist, but I'm glad I put them outside on my front steps this year, even though they are taking longer to bloom. Love your pots that you placed outside the door. They look amazing.

[@Bamboo4U2]

Interesting, no watering, huh? Did the soil stay moist or did it dry up?

I took your advice recently and went to my local garden center to just see what they had and read tags. Was so proud of myself for knowing what most of the plants were (solely because I have learned from you)!

Thank you for giving me my daffodil fix! As a child I lived on a farm that people called the “Daffodil Farm” in Cecilton, MD. I have never had much luck with growing them now that I am in Northern MN, and I miss them so much!

[@brianandjackieginsbarg1725]

I had the hardest time with my berried treasure germination. I did winter sowing (that didn't work), as well as in a greenhouse setting. Out of 3 6-packs I planted, only 5 plants came up (only 1/3!!). A little disappointed but feeling glad i'm not the only one.

[@Stephanie-cq8mf]

I grew berried treasure strawberries from seed this year too and all 16 seeds germinated in less than 7 days. I did cold stratify them for 3 weeks in the refrigerator. Unfortunately only one lonely plant survived because damping off swept through 😭😭. But I’ve learned a lot this year. After that I mixed cinnamon in the soil and on top after sowing all my other seed varieties I’m starting this year. I also only water with cooled chamomile tea. So far I have not had the damping off problem again.

[@kelleywright486]

Good morning all! Any Alabama viewers out there? My daffodils came up in January, bloomed in February and froze in March! I’m itching to plant our garden but we could get frost this week. Ahh, springtime in the south!

[@ce4me810]

Wetumpka here! I was just thinking that not all of my daffs bloomed this year. Maybe some of them froze.

[@mtnprairieflowerfarm]

Haha! It's crazy here in the north too! Snowed yesterday!!

[@cynthiarafferty7662]

Tuscaloosa/Northport here. No daffodils but I had to cover my 3 hydrangeas in March because of the freeze. I just planted them last year so they are baby plants. 2 plastic buckets and a cardboard box did the trick. LOL! Such a stylish look in the flower bed but it worked and the hydrangeas are looking good and greening out. I moved to AL at the end of 2019 so last year was a learning curve for me as to what grows well plant and shrub wise in the south. So different than in the cold northern climate. The grass in the lawn is a different animal too. I'm use to taking care of KY Bluegrass and not Bermuda grass. Very different grasses with very different care.

Laura, I hope you see this comment: I tried the PW Berried Treasure seeds in both seed starting trays and milk jug mix. I found that all of those that germinated in the milk jugs damped off and died, while those that were in seed starting cells did wonderfully. I germinated straight from the packet from PW, and the rest I put into the freezer for a few days is all. Had great germination!

[@cathleenmartini4887]

It’s not user error, Laura! I also ordered and planted the Buried Treasure Red using the winter sowing method. I put them in the freezer for five weeks before planting, I got NOTHING 😜 not one seedling. All my other winter sowed seedlings made a huge showing! Love your channel and was so glad to learn this seed starting method. You are a wealth of gardening knowledge.

[@christinaaubin8508]

I had the same experience with the PW strawberries. I had mine indoors under the grow lights, with good moisture. I ended up with two red, two pink and one white. I wouldn’t mind except the seeds were expensive and there weren’t many in the packets. So far the red are doing best, the one white is looking sad. I’m just hoping to get one healthy one from each color that I can propagate from runners.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I have mine indoors and they're not doing great. Maybe 40% germ rate.

[@alliebennett555]

[@TeresaDorey]

I just commented on her video. My results for outdoors were similar to Laura’s and my indoor starts were like yours with my White ones struggling or non existent. There must be a temperature difference between the different varieties. I have my indoor plants on a heat mat and I initially checked on their water levels twice a day misting them with a fine mister. Now I just water them from the bottom once a day and I’ve added a fan on them. I will continue to post pictures of my results on my Instagram @Doreymoto

I am only 40 and live for gardening but will not push past my limits on a good day anymore so I can hopefully enjoy plenty more years pottering with less pain..

I can totally relate to moving pots around. I use the Worx Wheelbarrow/Garden Cart. The cool thing about this is that you can use it, obviously, as a wheelbarrow and then adjust it to a dolly. It also has a sling adjustment which works best for larger pots and for boulders too.

[@sherricrewson3326]

To combat the uneven growing of the daffs and tulips in pots, perhaps you could turn the pots every so often in the spring. Then the heat and sunshine would hit them a little more evenly. Not possible with your large drip pots, but might work with some of the smaller pots. Love those concrete pots - stunning!

I’m zone 5 northern Michigan. My winter sowing is just sprouting now. I’ve found that keeping them on the south side of the house, next to the siding, helped this spring. I can’t plant until the end of May, so I still have time for them to get some size.

@@barbaramccann7944 I do have them on the south side next to my house.. maybe I just have to be patient, lol. Theyre still in their spots so Ill give them time, thanks!

We're in zone 6b so can't plant out until late May.

got your exercise in with all those pots! it is something to be grateful for when you have the health and stamina to do some of the heavier chores around the garden, and i am thankful for that... i'm going to have to try to control myself on my intended daffodil order next year, lol... daffys do much better here than tulips since we don't get that cold during the winter so i want to up my daffy game, but oh my word... i have a tiny yard, so i have to have some control, lol... they are lovely... i tried the winter sowing and was a complete failure so i haven't tried it again; i think yours did really well! always love seeing Benjamin and Russell out keeping you company, too... looked like a really nice day to be outside! thanks for the video!!

I'm hoping those seeds that blew away will provide flowers in random places all over the new property. Fun surprises.

In a new house and have raspberry vines. Hoping you guys show how you’re building the structure🥰. Love everything you do

Thank you for saying that you had heard the people were having issues germinating Berried Treasure Strawberry seeds. I put my seed packet in the freezer for a couple of months before I planted them and today is 3 weeks since I planted them in a container outside and I have seen no growth. I will wait a week or two before I give up and go buy plants from my local garden center, but I was so looking forward to having them after hearing about them on your channel.

When he was driving the tractor.... I thought wowzer!!!! Oh how I wish my apt patio was like that. What a gift you have. Perfect is understatement.

I really love that cluster of 3 stone containers, by that entrance. I agree with you that it's just enough and they pair so we'll together.

In Cincinnati zone 6a with our winter moisture I had to protect my bulb planters from excessive water with Tyvek (breathable covering for houses) and burlap. The freeze/thaw of our climate didn’t work with the smaller containers. And most tulips are annuals for us, summer rain and irrigated landscapes are the death of tulip bulbs, 1 great year and 2 mediocre at best. Books and local nursery owners gave me the heads up.
