"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow" 🌱🌷🌼

[@jgwood10]

Quote from Audrey Hepburn.

[@cmiller974]

Those red brain flowers my grandma grew in her garden here in central Kansas! She called them Cockscomb! They resemble a roosters head! She’d save a head or two in fall, put them in a brown paper bag to store, then just shake the bags to release the seeds and sprinkle them all over her garden in the spring. They’d pop up all over her flower bed!!! This was a memory from my childhood and I’m now 73!

[@josweatt898]

That's what I have always called them. 68 here

[@kkdttaylor2765]

@@josweatt898 That's what we call them in the caribbean, and once you have in your garden they reseed themselves. I'm always finding cockscomb growing in random pots around the garden.

[@michellehengel215]

I'm in KS & we still cal them Cockscombs,

Cockscomb here too!🇨🇦

[@LGarbuio09]

Love the channel! Thank you for what you do! Even though I'm in a different zone 4b here in North Eastern Ontario, Canada you provide me with a wealth of gardening expertise that applies. I've learned so much. I swear I've gone from a Jr novice to a Sr. Novice gardener in just a few years of watching ;-) Found you a few years ago as I didn't know what to do after having years of a successful full sun garden turn to shade with the growth of a birch tree. I was in a bit of a garden rut from loosing several perrienals. Once I fell into the Garden Answer rabbit hole you've inspired so many new garden projects in our yard. I now have a shade garden in the works to "perfection", a small 4 x4 veggie and herb garden, and this is the first year I'm starting seedlings for a new sun garden! All Garden Answer inspired! Years ago I had some Scabiosa and forgot what it was called. The garden centres in my area told me they were bachelor's buttons, but I knew that was so wrong. I couldn't seem to find them anywhere - maybe not common for my zone or something? Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you for reminding me about Pincushion/Scabiosa. Just found a supplier who will ship them to me. So excited to see them back in my yard this year!!

Good evening from Australia 🇦🇺

[@mfabian-gomez6043]

I brush my teeth and then sit down with a cup of tea and watch your videos to start my day - God bless you, Laura. My hubby loves gardening 🧑‍🌾 and has started many seeds for flowers and veggies - indoors under LED grow lights and they will move to our greenhouse in April (here in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦). Thanks for the inspiration you give to all your viewers. 🙏🏻🪴🪴🙏🏻

Good morning everyone 🌱🌱🌺💐🌷🦋🦋🐞🐞☕🌅

[@janemartone250]

You have a tremendous variety of flowers/plants. It’s going to be wonderful to see them all in bloom. The Butterfly Pea flower makes a delicious purple colored iced tea. People may look at you funny when you tell them you’re drinking Butterfly Pea. 😁🦋

[@katiedavis5861]

You can add it to your rice too 😊

Exciting!!!! I'm the only guy at work who gets excited about flowers and watching Laura/Garden Answer. This is "My Jam"! What a treasure trove of varieties you got there Laura. Thanks for sharing!

Looking forward for a wonderful day

My goodness, that was a lot of seeds started. Kudos to the editing department for popping up the pictures of all the various plants.

Good morning!!! ☕️🌷

[@donnafernandez4058]

Pre-moistening the soil has been a game changer for me. Thanks for that tip Laura 🦋

[@pollytiks3885]

Same here!!

[@laraemitchell9064]

When I was a kid on the farm (only about 15 miles from Laura outside of Nyssa, Oregon), my dad grew a whole field of asters. It was experimental as a seed crop and he only did it once. But that field was glorious and memorable amid the sugar beets, onions, and potatoes.

[@tarmaralyndsey]

How lovely!

[@amandachavez5795]

You’re a great teacher! Thank you! We started getting into gardening 👩🏻‍🌾🏡🌼🌺🌻 last summer & your videos are now my inspo! 😊. ♥️♥️♥️.

[@princessresinista9080]

My friend and I went to a local farm where you can pay $18 for a big mason jar and you cut your own flowers. They had the “brain“ Celosia along with some flamingo Celosia and other varieties that were so pretty. My friend and I saved all the seeds from our vases and bought a second vase towards the end of the season mostly just collecting more beautiful flower seeds. We also got a large amount of red spinach Amaranth. My plan is to make a huge hill of mostly reds and purples. ❤️🥰 thank you for posting these because you’re reminding me to throw some snapdragon seeds out in the yard. 😂 my seven-year-old daughter loves nature so I have her planting flowers for the pollinators. We have a really pretty white aster that the bees love that grows naturally on my land and I am winter sewing in milk jugs to share with a plant group for local pollination plants. 🥰

[@miiapirttila8350]

Thanks a lot of these episodes. We have about half meter snow covering the garden. Seeds are growing next to windows. You inspiried to test salvia good to hear again that bees like it.

[@sherilynkoss4546]

Chocolate flowers languish without a sunny spot and can handle wind and heat! Love them! Only drawback is that to smell them its best to be of small stature! These would be a wonderful addition to Benjamin's butterfly garden!

[@lorrainebirks2815]

Good morning from England xxx🌻🌼🌸🌺🌹🌷💐

[@juliafiore120]

Good morning, Laura ☕️ Seeing all these seeds makes me realize I’m running out of landscape for planting! Who needs grass, right? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I love the Bunny Tails! Everything looks so amazing. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈

[@stephaniejohnson2937]

How to choose!!! All great suggestions :) but I think bunny tails is something I need to try :)

[@kbechtel33]

Red brain celosia is great to dry and use on your mantel at Christmas as well as tuck into your Christmas tree. Makes a stunning display.

[@thomassmith6344]

Hello Mary

[@zormier2002]

Laura can you photograph each arrangement you make this year and do a collage or a slideshow for us? I think it would be wonderful to see them all grouped together like that

[@judyingram4846]

Yes that would be wonderful.❤️

[@brandie4barton239]

Yes, please!!!

[@barbll000]

I agree - even if you did a video of putting the arrangement together. I'd love to see at the end of the season a slideshow of each arrangement. It would be great inspiration prior to seed buying for cut flowers.

The green potting tray you use is available at Kinsman’s website. The woven metal urn planters you planted in a couple of weeks ago are available at Antique Farmhouse website. Gotta help my fellow garden shoppers.

[@barbll000]

The green potting tray is also on Johnny's website but recently I did see it was sold out but I'm certain they'll restock this popular item.

[@divinelotus19]

I love the vermiculite trick. Total game changer. This is my second year gardening and even though my yields are not huge. I give myself grace because I love gardening for my mental health first. Feeling the moist dirt, poking holes and holding seeds does wonders for my soul. ❤ I adore gardening and will never stop. Thank you for helping me see that in people, including you. It makes this world 🌎 smile a little better. 😊 🙏🏼

[@barbll000]

I've waited three seasons to be able to sow seeds. I bought the three shelf lighting units and many seeds each year but illness and time needed to recover from surgeries kept me from actually realizing this dream. But now I'm actually doing it and have trays started. I've selected perennials and annuals many of which are the ones that you have tried. Your advice and recommendations have been super helpful. I'm doing outdoor sowing as well. I'm so freaking happy about this LOL. The journey was difficult but I've learned so much. Isn't it funny how we can have so much joy over tiny seeds?

[@debbiemacy3840]

Wow! A seed starting marathon! That heated greenhouse is a game changer. Can’t wait to see them all blooming and flourishing.

I have watched your channel for many years and still get excited when I see you plant something tropical like the Celosia. The brain one I grew up knowing as a child in the Caribbean and just called it "the red velvet flower". It's nice to put a name to the plant, something I have gotten so much better at, watching your channel. I garden in a tropical climate and most times I just watch for the thrill and take in whatever knowledge I can even though it doesn't apply to my climate.

[@beckybanta126]

Another adventure in planting such beauties & remain in awe to hear you pronounce each of them. I can say Chocolate Flower!😊 I will be looking forward to their growth inside vs out. Love seeing the pictures of each one you planted. TU! Oh, anything peeking out from all the bulbs planted? The excitement grows!😁

[@MiuMiuG]

The blue butterfly pea flower is very popular here in Malaysia. We use the flower to make tea and add colour to special sticky rice dishes. The flower is supposed to be very healthy as the blue is indicative of high anthocyanin content (like blueberries). It is also a lot of fun for kids as you can make a blue iced drink but if you add a bit of an acid like lime or lemon juice, the colour changes and what kid doesn't love that magic! The Latin name is also quite interesting - I guess the Victorians weren't shy about how they named their plants. Its Latin name is basically a part of the female anatomy but I'll let you figure that one out yourself :)

[@JWHealing]

Seed starting question here- I'm pretty sure she then mists the vermiculite before putting the dome on (and it just didn't get filmed) right? Also how often do you mist the vermiculite / not-yet-germinated cells after that initial time, assuming you're using domes and also a heat mat?
