Hey Layne! Don't really have a question - just wanted to say what a great job you are doing. So nice of you to reply to everyone's questions/comments. Keep up the good work!
Oh, I didn't realise statice was cold hardy. I'm having great success with my spring sown ones. I'll add them to my list for autumn seeds. Great video guys - thank you.
Thanks, Alison! Yes - statice is winter hardy to USDA zone 7. Lisa did not realize it was a cool-season hardy annual until after writing "Cool Flowers", which is why it is not included in the book 😊 Happy growing, and have a wonderful day! 🤗
Thank you so much for this series! I’ve made an alphabetical notebook and have taken many notes on each flower. The stem count on each flower is game changer in my planting plans! I’ve gotten missing info (instead of guessing)😂 THANK YOU
With yarrow, I experienced the contrary : since I once planted 1 single red one in my garden 3 years ago, i have seen yarrows in all shades of pink all over my 2 acres meadow 😂
I drive all day and have been binge listening to the podcast. I'm sure everyone around me is learning so much about flowers! I need an episode about what to grow for foliage and filler flowers in different parts of the season. What would you pair with icelandic poppies early in the season, if anything?
Thanks to you I started my strawflowers in the fall of 2021 and they are STILL going strong.. they have not slowed down producing stems at all. They became my fav flower because of how prolific they are in zone 10b
Thanks so much, Jan! We really appreciate your business 😊 Hope you have all the information and supplies you need to grow some beautiful things this year! Thanks again, and have a wonderful day 🤗
SO MUCH to learn. Thank you for breaking this down into smaller, more manageable information. As a novice trying to go pro, I appreciate it. I send you all love, light and tons of fun.
Hey, Martha! Yes - orlaya is very easy to sow directly outdoors! As we mentioned in the video, it is also a strong reseeder, in case you are interested in letting it sow itself 🌱 Thanks so much for watching, and have a wonderful day! 🤗
So happy you enjoyed this series, Krista! I am always looking for ways to add more garden space as well 😂 Wishing you a bounty of beautiful spring blooms 🤗
Hello! Most biennials die after setting seed, but I have seen some sweet williams advertised as short-lived perennials. For flower production, it is best to grow a new crop each year. However, it might be an interesting experiment to leave some plants in the ground and see what happens! Hope this helps, and thanks for watching 🤗
Yes, this does happen, Melissa! Cutting deeper into the plant can help a bit, but typically the regrowth will still be shorter. Thanks so much for watching, and have a wonderful day! 🤗
What were the strawflower varieties in the photos? I have started my list for fall sowing. I'm just a home gardener but loving having these flowers to cut and give away to friends and family, as well as their beauty in the landscape. I just can't get the timing right on the sweet peas. I had a good start in the fall, but the polar blast took those right out!
Hello! We are in the process of updating the information on all of our seed packets, and the snapdragon packs will have the group numbers listed going forward. It may take some time for customers to see these changes, as we still have existing stock in the previous packaging. Meanwhile, you can find this information on our website on the individual snapdragon product pages. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching! ☺
Hi, just came across this. Greetings from Scotland. Really informative. When you say fall plant etc are you talking about sowing seed or actually planting out in the open ground ? I appreciate our weather conditions are likely very different.
Hi I use the small soil block . Carefully push the seed in until the frilly end is just showing . I find it easier if the blocks are a little wetter . Hooe this helps
Hey, Janice! Yes, as Sheila mentioned, you can still use the small soil blocks. Scabiosa seeds are actually quite small, but some seed suppliers leave the chaff on (which is why the seeds look so large!). It is generally easiest to push the pointy end down into the blocks. Hope this helps, and thanks so much for watching! 🤗
Hello Lisa and Layne. What do you do with your soil in the soil block if the seed does not germinate? Do you plant another seed or just to reuse the soil in another batch?
Hello, Deri! If anything has started growing on the blocks (i.e. algae, etc.), I will typically discard the soil outside. If the soil still looks good, you can feel free to reuse the blocks or allow the blocks to dry out and add the soil back to your bulk soil for future use. Hope this helps, and thanks so much for watching! ☺
@@LayneAngeloTGW Hi Layne. After I posted, I realize this wasn’t really the forum about the soil blocking soil. But I surely do appreciate the answer, and I am learning so much from you and Lisa! Not a flower farmer just want to grow some beautiful flowers in my garden. Thank you!
Lisa, you are a wealth of information. I could listen to you all day. I like the sound of your voice.
Thanks for watching, Melanie! 😊
Hey Layne! Don't really have a question - just wanted to say what a great job you are doing. So nice of you to reply to everyone's questions/comments. Keep up the good work!
Oh, thank you so much, Margaret! Your kind words really mean a lot ☺ Thanks so much for watching and for making my day with your lovely comment! 🤗
This was a great series! Start with the first or start in the middle but watch all three episodes on cut and come again!
Oh, I didn't realise statice was cold hardy. I'm having great success with my spring sown ones. I'll add them to my list for autumn seeds. Great video guys - thank you.

You are so welcome, Linda! Thanks so much for the positive feedback ☺ Have a wonderful day! 💚
Wonderful! I can't make myself buy seeds except from TGW. Just because I feel like they have shared SO MUCH. They deserve our business!!
Thanks so much, Jan! We really appreciate your business 😊 Hope you have all the information and supplies you need to grow some beautiful things this year! Thanks again, and have a wonderful day 🤗
This series is so full of great information! You’ve answered so many of my questions - even ones I didn’t know I had! Thank you Lisa and Layne!
Yay - so happy to hear that, Dawn! Wishing you a lovely spring garden full of beautiful blooms 🤗

Again great information. Im definitely going to try the Orlaya by direct seeding this year.
Hey, Martha! Yes - orlaya is very easy to sow directly outdoors! As we mentioned in the video, it is also a strong reseeder, in case you are interested in letting it sow itself 🌱 Thanks so much for watching, and have a wonderful day! 🤗

You are so welcome, Cathy - thanks so much for watching! 🤗

Wonderful!!
Thanks so much, Regine! Have a fantastic day 🤗
You mentioned cutting the Sweet Willam as a green filler. Does it continue to open later?
Hi yes it's amazing cos you can cut it green and it will gradually open . My florists love it
@@sheilahurford5931 thank you!
This podcast and this book are fantastic! Wow!
I grew them last year very early spring zine 6 and they lasted until July! I had plans for another flower there so I just pulled them..😃
Would you ladies consider doing simaliar podcasts once everything is blooming to show exactly when to harvest and best harvest techniques? Thank you
I would love to do something like this - stay tuned! 👀
Thank you! Making my seeding schedule spreadsheet from these chats. Will biennial sweet william produce the second season?
Hello! Most biennials die after setting seed, but I have seen some sweet williams advertised as short-lived perennials. For flower production, it is best to grow a new crop each year. However, it might be an interesting experiment to leave some plants in the ground and see what happens! Hope this helps, and thanks for watching 🤗
Anyone else experienced that after you cut, the branches that follow and “grow again” are WAY smaller/shorter ?
Yes, this does happen, Melissa! Cutting deeper into the plant can help a bit, but typically the regrowth will still be shorter. Thanks so much for watching, and have a wonderful day! 🤗
What were the strawflower varieties in the photos? I have started my list for fall sowing. I'm just a home gardener but loving having these flowers to cut and give away to friends and family, as well as their beauty in the landscape. I just can't get the timing right on the sweet peas.

Do your seed packets of Snap Dragons have the numbers on them to know in what order they bloom?
Hello! We are in the process of updating the information on all of our seed packets, and the snapdragon packs will have the group numbers listed going forward. It may take some time for customers to see these changes, as we still have existing stock in the previous packaging. Meanwhile, you can find this information on our website on the individual snapdragon product pages. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching! ☺
Do you cover the yarrow after you plant in Fall?
Hi, just came across this. Greetings from Scotland. Really informative. When you say fall plant etc are you talking about sowing seed or actually planting out in the open ground ? I appreciate our weather conditions are likely very different.
Thank you for this series. Are the snapdragons direct sown?
Wondering what Lisa sows scabiosa seeds in? The seeds seem large for the small blocker.
Hi I use the small soil block . Carefully push the seed in until the frilly end is just showing . I find it easier if the blocks are a little wetter . Hooe this helps

@@LayneAngeloTGW Thanks Layne!
Strawflower are the EASIEST to dry!
i have great luck growing yarrow, but for bouquets I found they wilted immediately. Wonder what I was doing wrong?
Hello Lisa and Layne. What do you do with your soil in the soil block if the seed does not germinate? Do you plant another seed or just to reuse the soil in another batch?
