Did I just spend an hour watching you talk about seeds? I did. And I'd do it again. Thanks for all the information; your reasons for buying each individual pack are so interesting.

[@christiensgarden3325]

And yes I spent an hour watching her talk about seeds as well and Johnny’s has such a wealth of information on their site for every single seed they carry. You might pay a little bit more there but it’s worth every penny.

[@joannchase3966]

Me too ❣️

[@monicahennessy5648]

I had the same thought! I see a video over an hour in length and my eyes glaze over. But then I realize it's Serina talking about seeds and yes please! No script, just her thought process on each variety. I feel like we're picking her brain and getting the real truth, good or bad. Thanks, Serina!

[@melodyboomhower9991]

I was wishing it was longer, 😂😆😂

[@lilagood1963]

Agree! I actually plan on watching again and taking notes

[@socutebracelets]

Seed haul straight into my veins. It’s all I want to watch around this time of year.

[@victorybeginsinthegarden]

I bought to many ranunculus plants and zinnias because of you lol. You are a bad influence lol. My yard is too small.🤣🤣😂😂

[@wildirishroseflower]

Thanks for the company while I'm sitting in my polytunnel sowing seeds for my flowers farm. I'm as obsessed as you are with seed shopping 😂

[@caracoates4834]

Just an idea for selling your white flowers from an ex-flower shop owner. Instead, doing an all-white bouquet. You should make a white dominant bouquet, but add lime/green and that soft peachy zinnia you grow. Another idea is how to get wedding customers, a lot of brides on budgets do their own flowers. You could do a few wedding shows and make a wedding-specific website and sell your flowers in make-your-own bouquet boxes. You could do a white box, a pink box, etc. I would market it to local weddings only since you do not want to mess with shipping. Send some samples to wedding venues/coordinators in the summer when your flowers are at your best.

[@roxananunez4238]

You are one of my favorite gardeners in youtube

[@missrubygem]

I want a video where you show all the perennials you have planted around the farm. The annuals are exciting but many of my favorites are the perennials! Plus, you have expanded so much that I forget what you have growing!

[@kelcinik]

This video prompted me to buy $50 worth of seeds from Johnny's for the world's smallest container cutting garden.

[@anneatletiek-lv1xu]

Aphids are attracted by white and yellow. For other insects this might also be the case. That is why white and yellow plants get cetrain deseases more and are eaten more. Yellow tulips are for example hard to grow, because the aphids spread virus more in them. (Because they are more attracted to white than red,..) You could use a white or yellow crop they like more to destract them, but that is a temporary solution.

[@alexis_levine]

Rudbeckia triloba also can take a little shade. I grew it this summer from seed in part shade and it did die off some in transplanting even with plenty of moisture in Michigan. It did better when I just left it alone rather than try to move it. Delightful short-lived perennial blooming in its second year, readily self-sows, prefers moderate moisture and tolerates heat and drought once established. I have seen it in a dry shady suburban curb strip doing just fine and seeding around the neighborhood. I have collected seed in a full sun prairie, where it must have experienced dry heat. It looks like you have enough seeds though. All the Best!

[@gardenfairygodmother1893]

I haven't even watched this yet, but I'm here for Serena talking about seeds for one hour.

[@joanofarc6402]

Oh please send me your throw out seeds or ANYTHING! You do such a great job! Inspiring and encouraging me to adapt to my environment! And new things. 😊 Big hugs from Illinois, USA 🇺🇸

[@ambethk77]

Love all the b-roll of your beautiful flowers! Can't wait for this season!

[@roxannern9393]

I love orange flowers. I think that I ordered all of the orange flowers; cosmos, zinnias, nasturtiums, snapdragons, poppies, gomphrena, dahlia, etc. I never thought of putting the rose color with the orange. Maybe I'll try that color of cosmos also. I always grow the bright lights only. Thanks for the new to me idea!

[@jenniferfahnestock450]

Seriously! I just had a sleepless night where I watched some of your older videos looking for seed talk. Then I still couldn't sleep so I got up and planted Calendula, snapdragons, scabiosa, and such. And now I wake up to a seed video! And the weather is nice outside. I will continue to forsake sleep for seeds!

[@Sunny14136]

Jennifer, I do the same thing during my insomniac nights! Lol.

[@patz780]

The depth and breadth of your knowledge about flowers is remarkable. I love to watch videos like these to imagine the gardens that these seeds will produce. If they are as beautiful as last season’s, they will be stunning. Can’t wait!

[@michelleadams1210]

Second time i watched this while im polishing glasses at the end of the shift in my restaurant. Thank you for such an interesting video. xx

[@BrittanyS143]

Omg laughing my ass off, 🤣 😂 you said I seen a gap lol so I ordered more!! Love it!! Honey there's no rules to life when it completes your soul, because when it has to do with our soul we will find a way to make it work no matter how small or big!

Another plus of Johnny Seeds is that they are 100% employee owed.💕

I don't speak English. I really love flowers and I grow them. That's why I like watching your videos.I live on the Crimean peninsula.

[@patternandcraft]

In the design world we call that rose bon bon bright light pink/purple color "orchid". So pretty!

[@eyrerosecottage1970]

Taking about seeds is fun! Thanks, Serina!

[@MeganSherow]

I’m so with you on the costa apricots- such a gorgeous color! I think florists would love them- because they’re bicolored, they’re brilliant for connecting different colors in a bouquet or arrangement

[@majoyap3403]

Another hour of mine spent on oggling at your seed shopping, and it's addicting.. And I'm really looking forward to seeing you seef sowing those seeds. 😁❤️

[@RandomOkieFarms]

I wonder if why you are having an issue growing the “weed type plants” is your not treating them like weeds. Put them in crappy soil and they will probably be happy. That’s how I get rid of weeds in my Iris fields is improve the soil. Thank you for all the time you put into making your content

[@sustainabetty8069]

Thank you for letting us live vicariously through you! I’m due with our second baby July 20th and had to downsize my garden plans. Your videos help me feel more connected to the future garden I’m dreaming about!

[@kele1264]

Congrats, and best of luck! A brand new garden coming into the world in July!

[@jucjuc314]

🤔Cosmos Double click Cranberry. I missed that from your list, maybe it is in the other video, if not, have a look at it next year 😊

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

I grow the mix, so I still have some of the cranberry. I like it, but rubenza is a similar colour, so I don't need a ton of it

[@ambersimpson75]

Your transition from veggies and flowers reminds me of a phrase from a cartoon called robots. " See a need, fill a need " 🌺🌹🌻🥀💐🌸💮🏵️🌼

[@AnjiBrailsford]

I love your videos and the way you talk about your seed and bulb purchases! When you talk about seeds you bring each flower alive by giving them personalities almost like talking about friends! Lol thank you for sharing!

[@davidakerlund6296]

dont feel bad about your addiction im on only half an acre and dropped 1200$ on seeds

[@majesticmaily]

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and keeping your secrets! It’s really blessing us out there who are genuinely curious. And I’m sure it’s truly inspiring those who do sell flowers too

[@kele1264]

Oh no, I feel the pull. More seeds. And then more. Velvet Curtain Amaranth. Echinop. Zowies. Ranunculous. Orange everything. Oh, someone stop me!

[@meganpatten724]

The most expensive seed I ever bought was from Johnny's - the Mochi tomato. It was $12.50 for 15 seeds :D (USD). And I grow stevia every year and mostly people see that as being the most expensive. If this tomato doesn't work out for me I'm gonna be mad :D :D I'm obsessed with zinnias also... grow ALL the zinnias!!!!

[@sandrajohnson9926]

Did you have success with the tomato?

[@meganpatten724]

@@sandrajohnson9926 I'm growing it for the first time this year!

[@confessionsofajadedoptimist]

I like the pinks and purples but the orange draws you in

[@kathypope3010]

Thanks Serena. That was the most informative and fun video I've watched in a long time. Now, I'm off to watch the Ball unboxing video.

[@RhondaRichter-1234]

I just love your videos and your beautiful family and farm!!! I am so glad I found you. Blessings from north central Wisconsin.

[@ziegenvinehomestead]

Yikes on the shipping cost! Zinnia’s, Snapdragons, Sunflowers, Sweet Alyssium - my favorites! Wishing you a wonderful season!!!

[@aongv]

i knew i shouldn't have watched.. over $200+ in my johnnseeds cart!...

[@mariacolwell1198]

Hello!! I have been following you for a while.. And I love your shows.. Keep it on!! It is awesome.!!👌💞💐🤗

[@junejewell]

Have you tried reaching out to Johnny’s? They might be willing to give you a deal, our sponsor your purchase since you give them such a raving review. Worth a shot.

[@joannealbaneze8778]

USA, here. When I had a garden, I bought my seeds from Thompson and Morgan in the UK. I sympathize with high shipping costs.

[@pdfaulkner1517]

The orange flowers and pinkish purple little flowers work well together because of their relationship on the color wheel. Color theory is so remarkably accurate. Grab a color wheel and watch some YT videos on color theory. Understanding the relationships between colors makes working with colors so much more fun and effective.

[@pdfaulkner1517]

I also have a seed addiction... I'm just a hobby gardener, but my seed collection would fill one of your carts. I understand your excitement!.

[@serenababy6358]

Thank you for this info! Your bouquets are so beautiful 😍. Your detailed info helps me be more organized and plan my bouquets to share with my friends.

[@LisaMonique]

As a new gardener this is my favorite gardening video that I have watched. I have signed up for multiple courses from other channels but I love how you just told me what to put in a one single 4 x 8 bed because I am not a flower farmer even though I have watched a lot of flower farming videos and love the concept. My daughter is a small part time florist and I would love to have beautiful blooms for her to be able to cut from this summer.

[@jeannet9592]

Thank you for being so thorough, funny and generous with your knowledge and experience.

[@barbarafegley5566]

Serena would it be possible for you to keep the dried flowerheads of your larger dried flowers. Crumble the petals into a confetti that would fit inside your christmas ornament necks. Then you can discard the stems or compost them on a pile. Get them out of the way.

[@hk9990]

omg immediately hit watch on this video!! i love your seed haul videos so much

[@ElizabethAnnYang]

ZOWIE YELLOW ZINNIA jumped out immediately among the rest of beautiful zinnias. That early-in-the-video shot, got me. Its' going to be a hugely successful this growing season, and I look forward to watching.

[@gillianmuspic2337]

you give much more information about the seeds than any other channel. I love that you tell us the pros and cons which really helped me make decisions last year for my garden. so I really appreciate it

[@aimeesgardens]

Have you guys ever thought about making Podcasts? (I know, with all this 'extra'time on your hands 😜) I could listen to you talk about the varieties of flowers you grow and why all day but I usually have to break up long videos like this throughout the days and would love to listen while I'm getting daily chores done. Just wanted to throw that out there. Regardless I will listen or watch because you guys continue to inspire me

[@fatimaperez9181]

I hope you were able to get in on the Sunflower Steve seed sale😅

[@carolynmoody9460]

So happy you had pictures 👏👏👏😸😸😸

[@FLOWERSANDSUNSHINE22]

I just received my order from Johnny's. I got the NEW TALL cut pansy/viola variety!! I can't wait!!

[@ChrisieCouncil]

You can probably sell those dried flowers to wholesale florists, or on Etsy. It might be a good way to get them cleared out for the next season? I used to buy them at my wholesale florist years ago. They came in handy for certain projects.

[@intergalacticsupremegoddes4008]

Thank You so much, very nice informative and inspiring 🌸🌼❤️🙏🏼

[@PackRatManiac]

You're among friends. I also have a seed shopping addiction and I don't have a farm 😬 Maybe one day though 😌💭 I bought the zowie zinnias from Pinetree garden seeds if anyone is looking for a site to buy them on a smaller scale

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@staceymarchant1322]

It's so funny because I live in zone 10B where everything could just grow outside. There's never a freeze. I don't I just don't have the ability to give the attention to the plants that they need to grow from seed. I grow sunflowers easily. Because that's the doesn't need the attention. And I have a lot of bulbs because they just go and go and go. Someday I'll get better. And your video keeps inspiring me to try.

[@thedreamingbun5998]

I love white flowers, but if a flower comes in several colors I would ALWAYS pick a colored variety over the white one. I just love colors so much. Also, all white bouquets without any addition of a soft color remind me of funerals.

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

I agree, they just aren't as punchy

[@bhavens9149]

suggestion - mix the white with red and either purple or blue, makes a striking bouquet.

[@MyFocusVaries]

That's my garden colour palette!

[@agnieszkakowalska6352]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, priceless (greetings from Warsaw Poland) ❤

[@Thingys-Jill]

Good to see you. May I respectfully comment on your plan to "pop off the heads" of the gomphrena for your ornaments. I make those ornaments, so I understand you wanting to use the gomphrena in them. If you pop off the heads, where and how will you dry them? Instead, what I have done is grab a handful and cut the stems about 4" long and rubberband them to hang them to dry and then pop off the heads once they're dry. I dry the statice this way too (about a 4" stem). Anyway, it was an enjoyable video.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

I love Zinnia's, and ordered all kinds of seeds for growing this year. My favorite part of the Zinnia, the deer leave them alone. I have not heard of Ball seeds, I need to check them out.

[@jesscastro4183]

One of my favorite indulgences during the fall is a cinnamon twist and a hot cup of black coffee. My husbands diet doesn’t allow for them, so neither does mine. Enjoy your donuts a little more in honor of those of us who stick to fruit and oatmeal 🙂

[@tatianamaria1]

Love geeking out on varieties! Never stop 😁🌻🌺🌱

[@TheKlopovClan]

I saw you a few years ago and found your videos again, you've inspired me to be a flower garden because it is the one "job" I truly enjoy. So I'm starting out small, going to fit as many flowers as I can in my backyard/front yard and sell bouquets. If all works out i hope to be able to do this on a larger scale when me and my husband buy a bigger property!

[@madonnaschmid7707]

I love sweet Annie! I just realized that I do not have any more seeds of her...must go order! Thanks for such great info.

[@Sarah-0H0]

Is it worth doing shorter bouquets and selling them at a lower price? That way you are able to sell the flowers that have short stems. On the other hand, it will cost more time and effort. Unless you just do straight bunches at a ridiculously low price to draw in customers. Just thinking that it will allow you to use the stems that would otherwise not be able to use. Another suggestion is to use them as tried flowers and make corsages with them or sell them to florists for a low price for wedding/ prom work

[@Bluewaterpinessantarosabeach]

Try High Mowing seed out of Vermont as well and Seeds of Change, then Bakers, then ….😊❤️

[@debiwaleski1797]

Thank you for sharing you wealth of knowledge!

[@MeegAnne]

It’s funny that you say that orange has been such an important colour in your flowers. As a general rule, i hate orange… but i find myself growing it more and more because i find that too much pink/pastel/red gets a bit saccharine, but just a little bit of orange completely changes the look.

[@roomwithaview76]

The struggle is real! 😀

[@kathsflowerpatch5220]

You got quite a few flower seed collection. Every time I watch your videos of seed unboxing I found my self eating to buy every single seed that you going to grow. I can’t help it. I grow flowers in northern Ca but still have a bunch that I haven’t try. First year expanding to an acre and I’m afraid of so many flowers. Hopefully like you I can sell to florist

[@nicolerosenbaum5731]

Sweet Annie's scent, to me, smells very medicinal (in a good kind of way). It's very pungent if you grow too much though 😅

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Serina, I love when you do the seed hauls like this & how you provide that extra bit of info with each variety! I'd be really interested to see you do an experiment one week with the white & Blush bouquets, where you did like half of the normal bright mixed bouquets, & half the whites. I love both types, but I'd definitely go for the whote/blush, however- I think if there were just a couple of the white bouquets , the brights would would "overpower" the whote/Blush bouquets & I may not notice them. So I'd be really curious how they did if you made them more of a "feature" & did half & half. I'd also be I terested in seeing you do something like 1/3 Brights, 1/3 whote/blushes, 1/3 moody colors (like dark purple & wine flowers, with like Mahogany splendor hibiscus foliage, maybe a touch of light pink, like a stem or 2 of the sapanaria)

[@thefeltingharp]
