Hi Catherine, if you could put up the names of the flowers on the screen, it would be great, I know its extra work for you, but it would be a very helpfull Thank you
Hi, thanks that’s really good feedback. I will definitely do that for future ones and work my way back and see if I can fill in some of the names in the description of other videos after the holidays. Thanks!
That’s a good idea for a future video. I have a few videos on sweet peas in my sweet pea playlist to get you started on my channel but maybe need to try and do an updated one next time I am starting seed pea sowing again.
Hi Sharon, thanks for watching this week. Yes the biennials are tricky in the greenhouse as you need to keep and eye on them with the heat at this time of year so they don’t frazzle!
Lovely video, so informative. On your recommendation I grew Phacelia, which is blooming and covered in bees, corncockle and cornflowers. The direct sowing Phacelia and corncockle are standing well on their own but the cornflowers and Phacelia module sown are more floppy. Disappointed in the cornflowers so will direct sow next year. Already planning for next year!! Thank you so much for your advice which has lead me to grow things I never knew about.
So pleased to hear of your lovely flowers growing this year. Autumn sown cornflowers will be stronger than spring sown ones if you try a sowing then. Isn’t it lovely to see all the bees enjoying the flowers too. I am loving having the flowers back and seeing what is growing well this year 🌸
Hi, hope you are doing well. Thanks so much for watching this weeks video. The flowers are lovely at the moment and they liked the heat we have had. It is starting to get a bit wilder and lots of torrential showers so I need to get on top of my staking this week!
It really is. We have had so much fun over the years and the kids love it even now they are getting a bit bigger. My youngest is still in primary school so she will be dressed up on the lorry floats tomorrow alongside the horses and the pipe bands. Everyone then goes off to different friends for Beltane BBQ’s. It all keeps going no matter what the Scottish weather brings!
Thanks so much, I am glad you enjoyed this weeks video. It’s a bit of a wild start to the week so need to get the end of my staking done before the sunflowers and cosmos get too much bigger!
Thank you for your very informative videos with no wasted time and fluff. I garden in USA zone 4 so I can’t grow many of your plants but I still follow you for your great information. Do you plant your grasses direct into the soil. Thank you. ,
Thanks so much, I am really glad you are enjoying my videos 😊 The grasses I start off in seed trays in the greenhouse and then plant out. I do a few successions sowings through the season up to the start of June. What are your favourite flowers to grow in zone 4 in your garden?
If you cut it back it will produce a few more stems for you. It is a medium cut and come again variety so won’t produce lots of new stems but it will produce some. To get a regular supply you need to do a few succession sowings from spring to early summer a few weeks apart.
Thanks for watching this weeks video. For the dahlias I have had a lot of success with using organza bags. Here is a link to a video I did last summer with using them on the dahlias Saving The Dahlias | No More Nibbled Flower Petals! czcams.com/video/lMbrSSx1BJo/video.html For fertiliser I mix a slow release granular fertiliser in to the soil at the time of planting the dahlias out.
Thanks for watching this week 😊 I really like both. Lady’s mantle will flower for me mid June to mid July and then it will be over. As it’s perennial it will come back every year. Buplereum is also a great filler but if you manage to succession sow it every few weeks until mid July you will get foliage flowers for a lot longer period of time than lady’s mantle until autumn. They are both similar in that lime colour that goes so well with flowers and they both condition well and last in a vase.

Or a list in the description 😊

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Thank you
Can you please do a video on your sweet peas, like which varieties can handle some heat, which bloom early, how you stake them etc. I just love them!
That’s a good idea for a future video. I have a few videos on sweet peas in my sweet pea playlist to get you started on my channel but maybe need to try and do an updated one next time I am starting seed pea sowing again.
Lovely tour
Last year I killed most of my biannual seedlings in the greenhouse house ,as you said they will be outside this time.

Every thing is looking lovely Catherine. I have to say I adore Cerinthe and grow it every year.
Cerinthe is lovely and often something customers have never seen before too.
Lovely video, so informative. On your recommendation I grew Phacelia, which is blooming and covered in bees, corncockle and cornflowers.

Lovely flowers great tips on lovely fillers!!
Thanks so much, I am glad you enjoyed it 😊
Such an enjoyable video. Your flowers are looking beautiful. Thank you for all the helpful advice too. ❤

Your town festival sounds so fun!!

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm it sounds so wholesome and something everyone enjoys. Thanks for sharing a bit of your day to day!
Another fabulous video, such beautiful flowers and great tips too. Thank you again for sharing.

All your flowers look beautiful Catherine. My cerinthe has finished flowering. If I cut it back will I get more flowers?

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Thanks so much for this when you are so busy. I really appreciate it. I'll know to sow successionally next year.
Great video, thank you! What do you use for keeping dahlias from being eaten by bugs? or what kind of fertilizer? thanks again

How does lady's mantle compare to bupleurum?
