How To Cold Stratify Seeds: 2 Methods Of Cold Stratification For Successful Germination ❄️🌱
I'd like to see you do the same test with different types of coreopsis - lanceolata, grandiflora etc.
Love it! That's on my list for this winter, I'll start a few batches earlier than usual so we have some content to send out before seed starting season!
Thank you so much for this, I love them so much!!! i love the seed holder, I will be getting that!!!
It's one of my favorite new gardening purchases this year!! Sooo helpful for storing my collection!
Such a detailed tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Hi Ann I live Maine and it’s mid-October I got lucky and found some dry/split MW pod …how to store until Feb. in plastic or glass jar and wait until Jan to put in fridge?TY Sandi plus I have some pods are soft/yellow, will they dry out/split…?
Beautiful
Really like the red bee balm. Would like some for next year. Great video!!
Thank you for watching!
In the western states in areas that don't get a "frost" our soil temps don't get consistently below 40° so stratification is necessary for me. None of my seeds germinate without it AT ALL!!
Great follow up video to part 1 and your experiment. Very informative, well spoken and explanation of the cone flower seeding and planting. I had a question you might can help me with. I would like to grow the cone flower indoors, but put it a large kitchen window that gets 4-6 hours of direct sunlight. Will the clone flower do well and survive even though its not outdoors? Appreciate it if you can answer or shed some information. They are beautiful plants and I would like to keep them inside if possible.
Love Joe Pye had a hard time finding the seeds and starting them originally… but now two years in I’m flush and have plenty to give away❤ I use a container and just sprinkle the seeds on the surface… I heard the need light to germinate along with cold stratification… water and tuck it in a corner outside and in the spring plenty of seedlings 😊 enjoying the channel grew up in Manistee county and in N Carolina now, zone 7…
💚👍Red! I did the purple, Now I need red.🫣only found purple wild on the property.
Hi Anna! As I previously commented, I have had great success following your cold strat instructions. My Echinacea is LEGEN-wait for it-DARY. I told you it has flowered it's first year as planted from seed. They are growing in a large terra-cotta pot. Would it work to simply replant the seeds after the first heavy frost, rather than gather the seeds, keep them in my "seed suitcase", cold strat them in the fridge, and then plant them? I'm in Kansas(6b). I frequently gets way below freezing here. Isn't that kind of a natural cold strat? Also...I wouldn't water the seeds until any danger of a freeze has passed. THANKS for your help!!
Hello, Wow! Love those Hydrangea tress! I'm in St. Louis, MO zone 7a and I was warned before I planted that it may be too hot in full afternoon sun in my zone. I didn't heed the warning and after 3 years in the full afternoon sun my tree will produce large white flowers, but won't turn pink and then dark pink by this time of year. Well, I learned a lesson, now I have to transplant to my backyard where I'm hoping I can find the correct spot with full morning sun and shade in the afternoon. I'm disappointed because I sure wanted to show off my beautiful Hydrangea tree because no one else in my neighborhood has one. Although, I do get great praise for the mid to late June white flowers. Just can't stand when they turn crispy and dark brown and that's it for the season, lol.
Hydrangeas are so beautiful!! We love these trees, they're the main focal point of the back yard. So many varieties to choose from these days too! I hope your transplant attempt goes well! Do it in early spring before the hot, hot summer days start up - you should have more success when it's still a little sleepy or in dormancy :)
Your to good to be true can't take my eyes off you ...😁😁 I actully trimed 5 today... not easy.
They take a while to get the shape you really want! Hopefully you don't have too many more to get through
@@BrightLaneGardens Hi, I agree with you on that. There still a bit flat on top. I definitely need them to grow out again. You make it look easy
Czy to jest czarna malina? U nas, w Polsce, są jeszcze mało popularne (te akurat mam w gruncie, bo są duże). Ja uprawiam w donicach czerwone i żółte. Widzę,, że chyba będę musiała dać im większe pojemniki, bo rosną w 7 litrowych. Dzięki za porady.
Jest to malina żółta, dokładna odmiana nazywa się „Malina Anne”. Czarne lub żółte to moje ulubione, szczególnie uwielbiamy robić dżemy lub galaretki z czarnych malin! Te pojemniki mają około 8 „galonów szkółkarskich”, więc uważam, że będzie to blisko 30 litrów! Nawet w przypadku tak dużych pojemników nie jest niczym niezwykłym, że korzenie wyrastają z otworów drenażowych i przedostają się do gleby. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, maliny są bardzo łatwe w uprawie w pojemnikach, co pomaga zapobiegać ich niesforności! Miłego ogrodnictwa :)
Trochę mnie zmyliły te jasne, długie, zwisające pędy. Ja swoje prowadzę przy pałąkach bambusowych, więc rosną w pionie. Donice mam siedmiolitrowe, choć planuję starsze egzemplarze przesadzić do większych donic. Kiedyś próbowałam je uprawiać w bardzo dużej donicy (ok 60l), ale wytrzymały dwa sezony, po czym zaczęły gnić od korzeni i padły. 🫤 Dlatego teraz wolę mniejsze pojemniki. Mam trzy odmiany żółtych malin: "Golden Queen", "Jantar" i "Poranna rosa". Ta ostatnia jest najlepsza i ma największe owoce. Czarne mam dopiero drugi sezon, bo są jeszcze niezbyt popularne u nas. Miałam w tym roku pierwsze owoce, są super, smakują inaczej, niż te tradycyjne. Są jednak, moim zdaniem zbyt duże do donic, dlatego posadziłam w ziemi, choć ciężko było znaleźć dla nich miejsce w moim maleńkim ogrodzie. Rosną wśród rozchodnikow, udając ozdobne pnącze. Całkiem dobrze im to wychodzi, bo są bardzo dekoracyjne. 🙂 Ciekawy kanał. Szkoda, że nie wszystkie filmy mają napisy, niestety, nie znam angielskiego. Mogę tylko polegać na tłumaczeniu napisów.
Native plants are the best!!
Truly THE BEST! Watching my backyard come to life with more insects and birds has been so fulfilling!
Super informative, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
I’ve always been told to soak rockwool in 5.5 ph water for 2 hours before planting. Is this not necessary? It’d be a nice step to skip. 😊
This is a great question - I was also told to soak rockwool in pH adjusted water before planting (I've always heard around 6pH). The very first time I ever used rockwool I didn't bother with the pH adjusted water and it worked just fine for me, so I never tried to adjust it! BUT I have to say I have well water on my property and it is pretty neutral water in general as I don't usually have to do too much for my hydro setup, so I would start by just testing your water to see if it's already in that 5.5-6.5 range. The more I get into hydroponics and just gardening in general, the more I realize how lucky we are to have the water we have here!
Can’t wait to see your gardens in bloom ☺️
Me too :)
Always a big smile on your face, starts the videos off in a good mood! Love how organized you are with what you do, i start somewhat organized then just turns into a hot mess every year 😂 Very well put together and detailed, hard to go wrong when following this type of structure, maybe next year ill start on the landscaping part (been focused on my tomatoes and peppers). Thank you for the fantastic information, i hope you have a wonderful weekend! Beautiful as always momma 😍
Can't help but smile when it comes to gardening haha! But thank you - I've been getting a lot more organized with my landscaping projects and it has helped immensely to bring it to life in the way I'm envisioning it! More tutorials to come, hopefully you'll have some good examples to use for next year :)
@BrightLaneGardens nothing better than being genuinely excited and happy about something you're investing time into! Plus we are lucky to be blessed with your smile 😊 For sure, the difference in quality of a project between organized and not is quite noticeable, also saves on time because mostly everything is figured out so you just gotta execute the plan. Definitely, your videos are a blessing! I make a Playlist of all the videos that would have something to do with my garden. Not only are you beautiful but smart too😊 Have a good weekend mommy ❤️
Well done. Very thorough. It’s always good to see how others develop native plant designs. Thanks
Thank you!! Agreed, it's always educational to watch other gardener's processes when it comes to native plants. Endless possibilities and styles to try out! Thank you for watching :)
Oh man, another great design video! I'm addicted to your channel now. 😅🤣
Yay I'm so glad you found it! Have been eyeing up yours as well 👀 always love seeing what other native plant creators are up to!
@@BrightLaneGardens Awww thanks! Yeah, I wish there were more of us than there are. Never enough, I say! :)
I'm so glad I found your channel! Lovely process videos.
Thank you so much!!
I'm amazed at how quickly you planted all those!! :O WOW
Haha wellll the speed function my editing software helped just a bit ;)
@@BrightLaneGardens I think somewhere in the video you mentioned the hours it took and to be honest, it would have probably taken me at least 3 or 4 times as long as the hours you mentioned😅...so you're very efficient!
I love this! Extremely well done and makes it so much easier to visualize these types of garden designs with our native plants we love so much.
Thank you!! This was my favorite design of the summer, sooo much time went into the planning process. I can't wait to post an update next summer!
I would add check valves to the tubing so the water won’t flow back to the pump and leak out on the floor
I have definitely read other growers adding the check valves, but for some reason I've never had an issue with water flowing back into the pump with any of my setups! It might be the positioning of my pump? But good to know about the valves in case it ever does become an issue, thank you!
Excellent, you’re a great teacher!
Thank you so much!! Appreciate your kindness
Is there a total list of everything a person would need to order like lights, stones, pumps,etc?
If you look at the top of the description (below the video) you'll see my product list there. I think the only thing missing that you're looking for would be my light panels - I use these LED light panels (amzn.to/3ZQxyWQ) along with some basic halogen bulbs from home depot. Keep in mind my setup benefits from a LOT of natural, external light as well. When in doubt, buy more lights. The LED panels use very little electricity and more light is almost always the right answer when it comes to indoor gardening in general :)
are you using tap water?
I am using tap water, but I have natural well water at my home. Minerals are the biggest thing I need to look out for, but even then we have pretty neutral water and use a very light softener (very lucky, I know!). If you are on city water, you'll likely want to learn how to distill water as the chlorine and other additives are not good for hydroponics.
Hello! are those totes food safe?
Yes and no - food safe is actually a pretty broad term and it really depends on what you're using them for. Is this plastic technically graded as 'food safe'? Yes - but they usually mean for food storage, not necessarily what we're doing here. I've drilled into this plastic (creating microplastics) and we have a chemical/nutrient water bath sitting inside the plastic and they haven't graded it for this exact situation. I am pretty cautious when it comes to plastics but I also really enjoy growing food in hydro setups so I consider this system safe for what I'm using it for. Definitely do your own product checks and just make sure that your setup checks all the 'food safe' boxes for your own lifestyle :)
This is great information -- thank you!
Thank you for watching!!
Why isn't my raspberries sending out runners?
This depends on a lot of factors! Typically mine sends out 'runners' or new sprouts in the spring. Some varieties don't send out 'runners' like others do. If you want a taller branch to turn into more of a 'sucker' type plant (create a new plant), you can scar the end of the branch and weigh it down with a rock in adjacent soil. After a few weeks it will start to sprout new roots and willl create a new plant for you.
@@BrightLaneGardens Thank you for your help.
Aww the sound does not work unfortunately. I really wanted to see what you had to say. Just got some Blueberries and I planted them in containers with sphagnum peat moss and some miracle grow potting soil halfway filled at the bottom for drainage.
The sound starts at about 6:00 idk y
Thank you for letting me know, I had to cut out a song due to copyright issues but I'm working on doing a manual edit with it to bring back the voice portion. Will be uploading that soon!
@@BrightLaneGardens You are AMAZING!! Thank you!! I subscribed and am looking forward to it.
I have thousands of seeds blown all over my garden. I'm sure I am good for next year:P
Hahah I think a lot of people feel this way ;) I do like to collect the seeds so I have more control over where the new milkweed sprouts up, but mother nature does what mother nature wants to do in the end!
Shouldnt you have watered it before you laid the cardboard and mulch? The problem with cardboard is it prevent air to the roots would it not have been better to incorporate it shredded in the hole to retain moisture?
The purpose of the cardboard in this tutorial is weed suppression, whereas the mulch is intended for moisture retention. I typically water my plant and the hole thoroughly prior to planting the tree, then it is watered daily after planting until it becomes established. Whole sheets of average cardboard will easily allow water through. These breakdown after about 1 year, and can be reapplied annually if desired. Typically I choose a cover crop, like clover or wild strawberry, to plant after that first year for additional moisture retention and weed suppression.
👍 👍 nice video
Thank you for watching!
💚👍
Thank you!
Those used to grow like vines up everyone's chainlink fences when I was a kid in Kansas. We used to crack them open and release the seeds and silk into the always blowing Kansas wind. As I told you in previous comments, I have no Milkweed seeds this year due to aphids. HOWEVER...an hour ago, I received one of those seed container cases you mentioned one or two videos back. I got the 48 container version (42 small + 6 large containers.) They included a bunch of stuff not listed in the description (collapsible funnel, seed sorter tray, adjustable covered seed dispenser, labels, and seed envelopes.) Very sturdy, yet compact. An excellent buy for $23! THANKS Anna!!!
Yesss I'm obsessed with my seed collectors! Love that they look like a mini suitcase I can strut around the yard with 🤣 it's the little things in life!
I used to play with those pods as a kid walking home from school never knew what the plant was lol Thank you as always for the countless hours of informative videos you put out for us! Hopefully next year is the year you hit 100k, you deserve it for sure! You look beautiful as always momma ❤️
Thank you for watching!! That would be the dream to hit 100k haha, but it's been such a fun journey so far :) Appreciate your comments!
@@BrightLaneGardens I 100% believe you can and deserve the 100k! The energy you bring to the videos along with the detailed information is pretty rare when it comes to yt gardening, helps us noobs out lol
One thing I had a problem witth - love and use those trays and 6-packs. But its hard to get too much water out of the traay. They make a slotted tray which fits in the no holes try so you can take them out in the slotted tray, and drain the no holes one. I tend to over water and almost drowned my cosmos! I am starting my first cone flowers this winter, you have good advise, thanks
Yes! it' a love hate relationship with the solid trays, i'll swap them out for the slotted trays depending on the time of year and how consistent I'm able to water. I have to admit the solid trays have saved me a few times if I wont' be home for a few days or just don't have a lot of time to water.
This was amazingly helpful! Thank you for doing this! Starting my native cottage garden & I was lost on how to start planting everything-now I feel like I have a footing!
Oh I'm so happy to read this, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! I am glad you found this helpful, I was so overwhelmed when I first started landscaping with native plants but now that I have my process down it's been so much fun!
I love mine!!
Yay I'm happy to hear!
This is exactly the video I needed. I have a habanero plant that’s a little over two years old and never given me peppers, only flowers that would fall off. It was suggested to me about pollination but I wasn’t sure how to do it. Thank you for the video.
I'm so glad you found it! I was having the same issue with my indoor pepper plants. Hand pollination was so easy and it solved my issues, I hope the same is true for you!
You are very enjoyable to watch , straight to the point , nice suggestions thanks you !
Thank you so much, you are very kind!
I have never heard of a purple potato.
They're purple inside too, very cool!
Will you be offering progress photos following the planting and growing activities? Something along the lines where it covers a timeline for the next 12 to 24 months, and is presented as a beginning to end video. Could cover 1 or 2 growing seasons. The photos would always be taken from the same POV.
Oh absolutely, I love posting updates on the plots I plant. For most native plots we tend to see full results in the 3rd year, so I'll be posting a few updates a year until then!
@BrightLaneGardens That sounds great. I love seeing progress videos. I'm looking forward to them.@@BrightLaneGardens
I had no idea mulch gets dyed. Will be on the lookout for that. So glad you've mentioned it.
It's everywhere! Cedar mulch is our go-to - undyed & shredded. Cedar tends to take a lot longer to break down as well, so you'll get a few more years out of it before you have to replace it.
I love your hat girl ! Thanks for your info......Gail
Thank you! We take sun protection very seriously around here :)
I searched for "drought resistant" and "ground cover plant" and this video popped up. Guess I'll be buying some wooly thyme to save the bald spot on my yard. Thank you ma'am!
It's wonderful!! It's also edible, so you can use it just as you would use traditional cooking thyme. It's a win win!
Thank you for the ideas!
Thank you for watching, happy planting!
What a great video! Very helpfull!!!
So glad it was helpful, thank you so much!
