Thankful for you Lisa and Layne! What a year was had! I built 2 garden beds for cut flowers this year, all by myself I might add. I had container flower gardened with mostly landscape flowers past several year. I was inspired by the book you wrote Lisa, Cool Flowers by a gal on KZbin, Danielle of Northlawn Flower Farm. I had many successes. It was a tough growing year for me due to weather conditions and air quality due to Canadian fires. But regardless plants do what they do.. they grow, some better then others. I had sunflowers in May!, my last frost date is April 30,6a! I mixed them in spring bouquets, blue Canterberry bells, orange calendula and yellow ranunculus, friends and family could not get over how beautiful and long lasting they were. All thanks to you Lisa inspiring me. Through the ups and downs I learned so much having you ladies here on KZbin and the Shopping show, what a brilliant idea, (highly recommend it), it was so helpful! Maybe this year I gather up the courage to gather some customer to sell them to. :) I'm with you Layne, Amaranth in the Fall, for me Cosmo as well, I had puny blooms until it became cooler in September. Deer love light sunflowers in my yard, Zinna's are not so special here in my area and powdery mildew is horrible. I'm still going to try again next year. I have some tricks I gathered that may help. Thanks Lisa, for the Great year end discount! I love supporting TGW and all involved, keep up the great work helping spread some cheer and through to next year. May God Richly Bless You. I'm starting this week Lisianthus! then on to Campanula, Ranunculus, and other cool flowers. I'll be experimenting soil block verses 2x2 rose pots then potting up. It's been fun Ladies! Love and so, so many blessings to you. Chow;}

You are so welcome! 🥰 Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment ☺ Wishing you and your family a wonderful 2024, as well! 🎊🤗🎊

[@nancylamontagne6667]

Great show as always. Can’t wait for the other shows to start again, the new flowers, new info, and the book! What are your plans for the unused portion of the farm? Wildlife habitat, perennial/mixed garden or lawn etc.? Crazy idea- use it to have an apprenticeship, mentorship or some kind of hands on space for a few people to learn to grow a crop seed to bloom right by your side. Thanks again. Happy New Year!

[@LayneAngelo]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for sharing your great idea! How fun would that be ☺ Thanks again, and happy 2024! 🎊🤗🎊

[@3kidmama]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom Lisa and Layne! So fun to hear the TGW top sellers as well as new seeds coming. Can I humbly put in a request for a seed starting topic? I'm a gardener in the Northwoods of the USA and have yet to figure out the secret to germinating some of my favorite fillers - Bells of Ireland and Bupleurum. I'm guessing I'm not the only newer to gardening flower lover who might be struggling a bit more with these (and probably other "challenging germinators". Thanks to Lisa's advice, I now grow larkspur outside and it's done great for me!

[@LayneAngelo]

Hello! Thanks so much for the kind words and the positive feedback 🥰 We love topic requests, so please do not hold back! Regarding bell of Ireland and bupleurum, you are in luck! I am planning on doing an episode on bupleurum in the near future, and we gave some tips regarding bells of Ireland germination in episode 56 ☺ Thanks again, and happy 2024! 🎊🤗🎊

[@connieshipman3731]

Thanks for the tips as always! I haven't gotten feverfew to grow yet. Maybe the groundhogs will leave it alone, so I have to try again. 🎉

[@LayneAngelo]

You are so welcome! Yes, do give feverfew a try and let us know how it goes 😊 Thanks so much for watching, and happy 2024! 🎊🤗🎊

[@AnnaJWinqvist]

Thank you, Lisa and Layne, my nerdiest, seed, gal pals! Happy New Year! ❤ Love from Sweden! (I'm starting my lisianthus today) 😊

[@LayneAngelo]

Aww, thanks so much, Anna! 🤗 Hope you are having a wonderful winter in beautiful Sweden 💙💛💙 Best wishes to you (and your lisianthus ☺) in 2024! 💚🥰💚

[@chrisinzone5]

Lisa and Layne, thank you ladies so much for putting out such a great informative show! I just recently found your channel so I will be watching and catching up all winter. I bought the book Cool Flowers last summer and this fall experimented with a few seeds that I learned were safe in my zone (and one zone higher) I can't wait to see this spring what makes it through the winter. Happy New Year and God bless!

[@LayneAngelo]

Thanks so much for the kind words! 🥰 How exciting that you are just getting into cool flowers ☺ We have an entire "Seed Talk" playlist with lots of great episodes that I hope you will find helpful. Wishing you a bountiful spring garden and a happy new year! 🎊🤗🎊

[@Fred.pSonic]

My New Years' resolution is to try soil blocking for the very first time. You ladies have more info on this topic than anyone else, I can't wait to try it! Thanks for all the great Seed Talk, we appreciate LMZ & Layne!

[@LayneAngelo]

Oh, yay! So excited for you to give soil blocking a try! 🙂 I am hoping to do some soil blocking FAQ episodes in the near future, so be on the lookout 👀 If you have any specific questions, just let me know! Thanks again, and happy new year! 🎊🤗🎊

[@sallyloosli4379]

Thank you ladies!!! On the bunny tail subject.. I thought they were warm annuals also!! Mine grew, but the maxed out at about 6 inches!!!! Now I know!!!!❤ Happy new year!!

[@LayneAngelo]

Thanks so much for sharing about your 'Bunny Tails'! I am anxious to see the results of that experiment, as well. Wishing you some lovely (and tall!) 'Bunny Tails' and a wonderful new year! 💚🐇💚

[@joycedagostino8869]

Always appreciate your practical information and honest reviews. I also like when you mention as you did with the Celosia to mention a specific episode that focuses on that particular flower. Good to know that Amaranth can be delayed a little too. Happy New Year to both of you, hope 2024 is a great year for both of you too.

[@LayneAngelo]

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! 🥰 Wishing you a lovely spring garden and a wonderful new year! 🎊🤗🎊
