Direct Sowing In The Cut Flower Garden

You are so generous with your advice and it is very much appreciated.

You are so generous to share all your knowledge, thank you 💐😍

This video came just at the right time for me. I’ve never really tried direct sowing but I feel a lot more equipped now with the knowledge you have provided in this brilliant video. Thanks so much again for sharing so much of what you’ve learned over years, it’s very appreciated and inspiring. ❤

So much good info packed with no wasted words. I live in Seattle, Washington, USA, zone 8b so this info is very relevant to me. Thanks.

This is so helpful and informative, thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge. I've been wanting to direct sow but been quite nervous about doing it! So this is so helpful and I'm going to give it a go!

Thank you!

Thank you for this informative video, Catherine. I might direct sow some of my seeds now the our weather is cooler here.

Thanks for such a thorough video! I started some phacelia indoors a few days ago, but now I’ll give them a try directly sown.

Great video so so helpful

Very good

Great information.

Thank you for this timely guidance! Your video is very well presented and has been of immense help to my planning this year. I'm a rookie so help is imperative. 😅 LOL

I appreciate you sharing what can be directly sown; however 70% of the seeds you mentioned I have never heard of, so I was googling some names and Daucus is considered invasive here in Seattle. AKA: Queen Anne’s Lace. It says not allowed to sell or any part of the plant. I am also zone 8b Western Washington State. I am going to try the snap dragons and mix with some sand. Thank you for this tip😊

Thanks for this. I must try sowing Daucus & Gypsophilia Covent garden outside as I haven't had any indoor success with them

This video was so helpful to me because I'm new to growing all of these flowers but I'm trying it out this year. Now I know more about it so I'm more confident it'll work out well. Thank you! 😀 Do you put certain flowers next to each other or just plant them randomly? I have a big border up against a fence, and I'm trying to plant them from tallest in the back to shortest in front, but it's hard for me because I've never seen a lot of these flowers in person to know how big they get...

Hello from Lori in 6b Saint Louis, Missouri, USA! Super helpful. I'd love to ask you a couple questions. How many hours of sun does your phacelia get? And when you plant or sow successions (of any plant), where do you grow the succession? Do you sometimes have to plant/sow a succession next to already mature and blooming plants? Or do you always have planned, unplanted beds for successions? This is the first year I am doing succession plantings, but probably just sunflowers and zinnias. I will save half of that garden for successions, but all of the rest of my gardens are planted up with cool flowers so I don't have room to succession sow any cool flowers. Oh well. It's just such a wonderful adventure, gardening is. All the best to you dear.

I don't understand why UK gardeners struggle with slugs. In the US we have safe effective slug bait that's very effective. I couldn't grow hostas without it.
