You are such a good teacher! Thank you 😊

[@shesamadgardener]

You are very welcome!

[@litaapreston9605]

💐 love both of these flowers so perfect for the cottage garden ❤

[@shesamadgardener]

Me too, they are gorgeous!

[@michellepollino4986]

Loving all the new flower seeds that you’re planting.

[@shesamadgardener]

Me too! I can’t wait to see how they grow!

[@kellieL89]

Thanks for all the updates!! It really helps us newbies know what they're supposed to look like.

[@shesamadgardener]

I’m so glad I can help!

[@sandychristiansen1749]

So envious that you could wear that white hoodie while starting seeds. I am always wiping my hands on my shirt and leaving dirt smudges. I love Bells of Ireland as well.

[@shesamadgardener]

It’s always a gamble wearing white when starting seeds! 😜 I wipe my hands on my pants!!!

[@LilyValmonte]

💐💖 I love both of these flowers...also nigella!

[@shesamadgardener]

Me too! I love the frilly blooms on Nigella, they are so delicate.

Thanks for all your info! I hope y’all enjoy your snow. A tiny bit jealous here in Houston…💐

[@shesamadgardener]

It’s lovely to watch ❄️

[@barbarafegley5566]

I use a wooden skewer to transfer seeds to the cells. Some people use toothpicks but I prefer the extra length of the wooden skewers and you can find a package of them in the grocery store and have a supply for the future.

[@shesamadgardener]

I'm going to have to try that! I have used toothpicks and tweezers but skewers sounds much easier.

[@michellefrance1165]

Love Cleome 😊

[@alicehihn3250]

Did Bells of Ireland in winter sowing jugs in my 6a/7b garden. They were beautiful. Seeds from Renee Garden. Going to try Cleone this year. 💐💐💐

[@shesamadgardener]

I'm so glad to hear they worked for you! Cleome is so much fun. I'm excited for you!

[@lesliebehrens7252]

Hi. I had to chuckle. You and I laugh about the vicious Zulu Warrior flower, then you start Bells of Ireland….those spikes can GIT cha! I grew Cleome last year after seeing you grow them. They were sticky to touch and a little smelly 🤣. Are they all like that? I still have seeds so I will keep growing them. They are pretty for sure. Your video today was fun and funny ❤

[@shesamadgardener]

Hmm I didn’t notice them being sticky or smelly … I’ll pay better attention to on this time around!

[@eleanormarcellus8676]

Hope you do a video of snow Thx

[@shesamadgardener]

That is a great idea!

Another tip packed seeding video. Thanks Try men’s ankle socks 🧦. I wear a size 11 women’s, so I relate to the sock sliding down! 🤦‍♀️

[@shesamadgardener]

Good idea! I wear a size 10 and women’s socks just don’t seem to be big enough!

[@amycampbell4698]

@@shesamadgardener have you tried extended sizes in women’s socks? I wear a 11 in women’s shoes, I can’t wear “regular” size socks, unless it’s in mens sizes.

Thank you so much 😀

[@JenniGotDesigns]

Those are going to be stunning! Can’t wait to see them in your garden. This is random…do you have experience changing from sprinklers to drip? Maybe in your front bed? If so I’d love to learn from you.

[@shesamadgardener]

I do not but I’ve seen lots of videos on the process … it looks pretty straight forward as

[@patboyle267]

The cleome looks beautiful looking forward to seeing them in your garden ❤ also what grow lights would you recommend where you don’t have to have the seeds close to the light?

[@shesamadgardener]

No matter what grow light you use, the seeds will always need to be within 4-6 inches of the light.

[@tammysmith4308]

I haven’t grown cleome in years. The ones I grew threw tons of seeds and I had trouble keeping them in check year after year. Some that you buy from the nursery are sterile so this isn’t an issue.

[@shesamadgardener]

Mine have never reseeded but I will definitely keep an eye out for that! Thanks for letting me know!

[@ladybuggrace9051]

I am doing Bells of Ireland this year. Live near Hershey Pa so a little early to start here

[@shesamadgardener]

It is a great choice for the garden!

Starting cleome today. Thanks for the tips!

I was watching a different seed starting video from a flower farmer. She was using a toothpick, wetting the end of it, and using it to pick up small seeds and get them to stay on the soil. Makes sense so I am going to try that. I always have the problem of the seed and soil sticking to my fingers and I have no idea if I removed the tiny seed or displaced it. Let me know if you have tried this approach and it worked for you. Stay warm - I am enjoying the snow flurries falling in DFW today. NOT ice though!

[@shesamadgardener]

That's a great tip! Someone above also suggested a bamboo skewer as it’s longer and doesn’t cramp your hand.

[@marniroberson8980]

@@shesamadgardener much better idea - just ordered some from Amazon.

[@juneramirez8580]

Hi Amanda! Coming from zone 9b low AZ desert! I LOVE those planting kits! So far I have 25 of them! They are made very well! I am starting so many plants for my new business AnnieJoe's Plants, and I can put so many of them under lights in my grow room on my shelves! I love your videos! Thank you!

[@shesamadgardener]

You're going to have so many beautiful plants!

[@harbourheightsja2383]

I'm going to try both of those seeds, but by winter sowing

[@shesamadgardener]

Winter sowing is a great way to get a jump start on the season!

[@mycraftroom6872]

Bought clone seeds last year but never started them. Anxious to try them this year. So should I pre chill and soak?

[@shesamadgardener]

I would at least soak them!

Do you have your grow lights on a timer? Socks that won’t stay up is the worst!!! 😂

I do! They come on at 6am and go off at 10pm.
