Get early summer blooms with these flowers in the cutting garden!

[@judyrudyruby]

I really enjoyed this tour! I would love to see this kind of garden tour once a month or so 😊

[@Blossomandbranch]

Noted! ❤️❤️

[@patriciakeys4873]

I once planted some very big pots with 1 peony, one salvia and pansies. I thought that the pansies were gonners because the second year the peony and salvia grew so dense. But, the pansies pushed up through all the foliage and gave me the longest stems.... a minimum of 12". I was shocked. So I am going to do that again. I didn't have to replant the pansies either. the perennials came back and the pansies reseeded themselves.

I always, always enjoy a walk through your garden. Thank you for sharing.

[@elleodyn]

Love that you are talking about native plants! Yessss!

[@carolynclark8312]

Are you sure that is a lily. Looks like an Iris.

[@Blossomandbranch]

Ha!!! You’re right!! I actually was saying, a lot of weird things in this video like misquoting months, makes me a little nervous about my brain…thanks for the catch!

[@christyleitner5949]

Irises are an amazing cut flower. They last a good 7 day. Need to cut at the right time.

[@GoingGreenMom]

​@@christyleitner5949 I was thinking this too. Only cut flower I remember having around growing up.

[@myurbangarden7695]

Very NICE

[@JoyoftheGardenandHome]

I need to get planting earlier, thanks

[@jessiesheldon-huffey1824]

At 5.23 when you talk about the "almost black lily" that is an iris, not a lilly. I have hundreds of them on my property. They are so so easy as long as you divide them every 3 years or so.

[@lesliehahn4056]

Love your videos so much! Thank you for sharing your beautiful environment 🌸

[@kimmy0868]

Just beautiful!! Thank you!

[@dleija84]

December?! Oh geez, I'll try to remember that next time. I started some stock for the first time in Feb, it hasn't bloomed and we're already hitting 100 degrees in the Dallas area (zone 8a). Are the plants even going to live through hot temps in my garden and I'll see flowers in the fall, or do I go ahead and replace them with something else?

[@UnderAPileOfScrap]

We had a heat snap unusually early here in N. Indiana (z5b), but fortunately, it has gotten to more cooler/normal temps now. I am super late getting potted starts (mainly Stock) in the ground for the cooler temp flowers. Good thing I don't do this for a living! My Columbine are almost done. Peonies have been done for several weeks now. The heat took them out early. good to know a plant date for Sweet Peas. I hope I remember next year. I find your videos to be very informative and it's like listening to a friend tell me how to do something. Simple, and on my level. I need to go find that Peony video. Mine don't seem to produce many blooms no matter how long they've been planted.

[@milaedwin-kent5091]

Thank you so much for the informative video! Would you mind sharing what brand and model of the window AC you have in your cooler room?

[@ntur117]

I loved this tour thank you. Im bummed though because I feel like I waited to long and missed the mark in getting a lot of thing planted in time, but now I’ll know for next year. I have just gotten 4 ranunculus blooms this week and very excited for my first go at them. Im also trying lisianthus for the first time and so glad I had some netting over them or I would have lost them to that nasty hail we got this week (Denver). I love your videos. Thank you for sharing

[@AndyDurrer]

This summer have been very wet and hail heavy out in Aurora. How are you protecting your flowers from all the hail this region has been having?

[@Blossomandbranch]

I’ll do a hail video :)

[@AndyDurrer]

@@Blossomandbranch 🥳🤗 thanks

[@ntur117]

I used some tulle stretched over the top of my raised bed. Definitely not a long term solution and it really stretched under the weight of all the hail we got this week in denver. I’m just happy I had something or I would have lost alll my lisianthus

[@ivylll3397]

The pink baptisia looks soooo gorgeous😍 I was only able to find yellow and purple baptisias in my local nursery; wish I could get a pink one

[@juha7830]

Thank you. I had troubles with mice.. they destroyed my ranunculus. But vaccaria is an early bloomer here in the north and I got ageratum in flower right now.

[@tanyakilbane7636]

Me too! I planted some poppies under the tunnels, and was so proud they were the first to pop , 6 inches tall then , within a few days they were all gone! I didn’t even get a chance to put out snap traps!

[@darcyclark1523]

Do you plant stock and snapdragons that early under cover?

[@SunshineFlora]

Great space! How much square feet do you grow on?

[@ElderandOakFarm]

This is the most difficult time of year for us flower farmers to have flowers blooming- between the spring bulbs & summer, heat living annuals.. so i love when you let us know when somethi g is also good for cutting. This year I grew sweet William & Larkspur for the first time & they were very helpful in filling in that gap! Oh & coreopsis! My coreopsis has been COVERED in small bugs that look to be shaped like thrips, but theyre so small & move so fast, I can barely see them with the naked eye. The only reason I noticed them, is beca7se after cutting a couple & having them in my hand, I felt something crawling on me!?! I cpuldnt see anything so I was looking really close, & finally seen them! How many days do you usually get from the Nora Barlow Columbine? Didn't realize you could use the Baptisia foliage, Blooms & it produced seed pods!?!

[@aongv]

What months do Sweet William bloom for you and what zone are you in? I’m wondering if it’ll grow for an end of Sept wedding. I’m in SE Michigan - zone 6b. Thanks!

[@cshieldsie9920]

Did you direct sow that lupine in the early fall? I tried winter sowing and they did well but lose them all when I transplant. Love, love lupin though! 😊 any tips?

[@jessiesheldon-huffey1824]

I have lots of lupine. I sow them where I want them as they do not transplant well.

[@shellykupfer3595]

I am also a zone 5 gardener and I frequently have snapdragons over winter with out protection. Do you have any experience over wintering cutting varieties?

[@Blossomandbranch]

My cutting varieties never overwinter well and in the rare cases when they do the stems tend to be shorter :(

[@mehmetucar3685]

Super 530. Big like 🙏😌💎🌼🌼💚😌😘

[@bohemiangardensandgourdfar8812]

Yes, that was definitely an iris and not a lily. Nice tour. Thanks 👍

[@cindyrae2605]

What type of soil are your Penstemon growing in? Thanks.

[@Blossomandbranch]

Native unamended, pretty heavy clay!

[@cindyrae2605]

@@Blossomandbranch Thanks. That's basically what I have and they never come back in Spring :(

[@marycain7424]

Can you share your hail netting please?

[@AnnaKincaid]

I am about to get rid of my lipin they tend to be aphid dessert.

[@Blossomandbranch]

Leave them as a trap crop then! ❤️

[@AnnaKincaid]

@Blossomandbranch maybe I will.move them next to my plum tree for that purpose. Which is also always covered in aphids. I did co sidereal replacing them with our native wild version. 🙃

[@bethannlawrence4512]

Hi. Briana! Thanks for the info. Wondering... what did you mean when you said that the different Nora Barlow colors came from "one plant". Did you buy one plant and divide it? Or are these the plants that have come up from seeds dropped from one plant? Also, did you start with plants or seeds for your columbine? Thanks!

[@Blossomandbranch]

We saved all the seed from one plant and it came up all different colors!

[@catherinesearle9596]

Your purple "lillies" are actually Irises.

[@cindyrae2605]

You meant Iris :~)

[@Blossomandbranch]

Yup
