Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of information!

[@janetbryan6717]

Hi, Layne. Could you do more episodes where you deep dive into one variety of seed. Telling how to get them to germinate, information on succession planting. Tips and tricks the variety? The previous ones you’ve done have been so helpful. How about starting with ammobium??

[@cbak1819]

I’ve killed hundreds and hundreds of seedlings. As I listen to this (for a second time), I’m hearing answers of what I’m doing wrong. This is wonderful info! I appreciate you guys!

I'm dying laughing. At 16:40 when you talk about the smell of the fertilizer and say the family may pack you and move you out, you followed with "there's benefits to that too". I know when you meant, but the way it followed the packing you and kicking you out part... hahaha

[@jennifereidebibler4358]

I learn so much from these videos, and the things I've purchased from The Gardner's Workshop have been top notch. Thank you!

[@rachelle3445]

Thank you

[@cbak1819]

Great info on this channel for seed starting and growing seeds from start to finish.

[@CZDrea]

Thank you for the info! I just moved back to Portland, OR where I think the cool flowers will do well!

Toward the end of the episode Lisa talked about farmer Bailey's recommendations for sweet pea germination. She mentioned they prefer 55 degrees. Is that 55 night temperature, day temperature, or soil temperature. I don't think sweet peas are hardy in my zone 5b but I was curious to experiment with sowing them in plug trays or soil blocks outside in my early spring which is quite long. Thanks for all the great information! I learn so much from this team.

[@krisk6256]

Valuable information! Thank you for your wise wisdom!

[@jlp4111]

Just found you, wonderful info! Purchased some cool seeds, plan on getting the soil block supplies. Would like to see someone actually planting these small plugs into the ground in the fall and especially in early spring. My goal is to add cool annuals to my perennial garden. I can grow perennials, struggle mightily with warm season annuals. Have done winter sowing with perennial, annuals and veggie seeds in water jugs with good results. Plants were stronger than I’ve raised in the traditional pony pack way. Thanks!

[@LayneAngeloTGW]

Thanks for the positive feedback, JLP - so happy you enjoyed this episode! Great idea regarding demonstrating how to plant soil blocks in the ground 💡So excited for you to try soil blocking and add more cool season seeds into your garden. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment! 🤗

[@grapefruitpineapple7667]

Thank you for 39:24. As per some of my previous comments, I'm looking desperately for zone 3 June blooms. Thank you so much

[@cbak1819]

I may be repeating myself here but I put out in feild last fall and had to pinch. Praying they will be beautiful. What do you think? I live in zone 6

[@marianstallings7344]

I can’t find the gnat control you mentioned. I do have problems with gnats. Last year I added mosquito bites to my water, but it didn’t break down very well.

[@LayneAngeloTGW]

Hello, Marian! The product is called Gnatrol, and it is available for purchase on our website, if you are interested. Thank you for watching! 😊

[@cbak1819]

The directions tell to strain

[@julievoracek1497]

Is Cerinthe a Cool Flower in zone 8B? I don't see it listed in your book but I thought it was. Can you plant these in small blocks or do they need to be bumped up like sweet peas?

[@sheilahurford5931]

Hi am zone 8 uk and plant centre direct as cool flower

[@LayneAngeloTGW]

Hello, Julie! Lisa has successfully overwintered cerinthe in zone 7b / 8a, so you should be able to fall-plant in 8b. When sowing larger seeds (like sweet peas and cerinthe) in soil blocks, it is generally best to sow directly into the 2" blocks. Hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@LayneAngeloTGW]

@@sheilahurford5931 Thanks for sharing this information, Sheila! Very helpful 🤗

[@KimberlyDaniels-cr9oi]

I have watched 1 and 2 videos. Please confirm these steps or correct if necessary. Seedings in blocking needs yo be bottom watered, on heat mat, with burlap. Once sprouted, remove from mat, remove burlap and place them beneath heat lamp Water with Mister? OR continue watering from bottom? Also if using plug method on heat mat do you still water from.the bottom?

[@judyrobinson2282]

We in PNW almost NEVER have nights in over 60 degrees, except 2-3 weeks in summer. So in the fall, planting cool flower seedlings we would have 50 degree nights in September. Is that too cold?

[@madelinerivera7445]

Where can we find "Natural" larvicide? I looked on your website and on Amazon. It sounds like you're saying "Natural. Thank you.
