Great tips for today ❤, the temperature are so high here in texas, I hope change in next week, I check daily the weather and praying 🙏 for the temperatures go down, a lot of seed waiting to be planted ❤❤❤ I hope some day I will had more 20 varieties of cool flowers 🌸 , just grow zinnias and tulips 🌷 last year, you inspired me @lisa thanks 🙏
It’s my second year of direct sowing in my home garden. As I was planting my Orlaya and Bupleurum last night I suddenly remembered about the trenches and leaving enough room for my Japanese hand hoe to clear the weeds - it will be so easy now! 🌸
Thank you, another good video. Regarding some things getting washed away or moved with the rains and wind, I've had some things I direct sowed in the fall or early winter show up in a different spot too. I think it's due to the winter rain or snows just moving those seeds. Also maybe as the snow cover receeds over a patch of soil that has the seed, the seeds can stick to that snow and ice and that can move the seeds too. I have some rolls of an inexpensive plastic edging that can be cut and put around an area and I think I'm going to experiment with sowing the seeds and putting these barriers around that spot to see if that does keep them secure in the spot where I've sown them.
Temperature is something I’m worried about. I’m at my “six weeks before first frost” point but it’s still warm out so I just don’t know what to do cause I don’t want it to be too hot but I also want to give them time to establish 🙃
That's what happened to me. Our Septembers are so hot these days that I don't know if fall sowing is ever going to be a go. At the point when I'm six weeks from the first frost date, it's not cool enough. Temperatures aren't right until it's only three or four weeks until the first frost date. 😥
I tried fall sowing for the first time this year. My transplants seem to be fine, but the bupleurum I direct sowed never came up (guessing temperature was the problem) and most of my bachelor buttons got eaten. 😥
Oh, no! Bunnies and deer love to eat my bachelor buttons, too 🐇 🦌 Bupleurum can take 10 to 21 days to spout in soil that is around 55 to 60 degrees F, and we recommend covering the seed. It is also a good idea to pop the seeds in the freezer for a couple of weeks prior to sowing (using the proper protocol we mentioned back in episode 49 to prevent damaging your seeds). Best of luck with your cool flowers, and have a great week! 💚🤗💚

Good memory! 👏 Yes, now it will be so easy to run your hoe between your rows. Great job, and have a lovely week! 💚🤗💚
