You should save your marigold and petunia seed. If you plant a hybrid it won't be true to seed but it will still be beautiful and won't cost you a cent. Many years ago I planted several marigold plants that I got from a 50 cent pack of seeds. I usually get a full gallon sized Ziploc bag full of seed from each year from the descendants of these original plants. I save a small amount for myself and give the rest away. It makes my ❤ happy.
Lawd I just went to one of the sites your video from yesterday recommended and bought a bunch of seeds. I can’t keep up! I like to go along with you, Amanda, to compare. 😅… And of course for all the insight and info you give. Thanks!! ☺️
I only buy plants that I can’t find seed for. I start all my biennial seeds the first part of June. I start collecting seeds as early as May depending on when my spring flowers have gone to seed. I’m glad to see that you’re transitioning to starting most of your plants. I find it much more sustainable. Not everyone can do this but for those of us who can it’s very rewarding. Thanks for sharing your process.
I love watching these videos! I am also in zone 8 about 2 weeks behind you in terms of temperature, so it’s perfect that whatever you are posting in your videos I’ll start them while I watch yours!!! Thank you!!
I wish you luck on your marigolds. I'm in zone 7 and I've only had 1 bloom on my marigolds I planted from seed. Only leaves. They get as much water as my other garden plants, in full sun and nothing. Best of luck.
Is 90 degrees too hot to start seed outside if placed in an area with a Northern aspect and seeded in protected containers such as those you are using inside? Lots of seed packets indicate the minimum temperature for germination but rarely indicate the maximum temperature. I've had more success germinating inside, but can't help wondering why, due to all those vegetable scrap seed germinating in the compost bin.

That’s a great idea and definitely a cost saver, thanks!

I’m so happy that we will be growing our seeds together. Keep me updated on how yours are doing please!
I got zero germination on my Marigolds for spring lol Those deep red petunias are gorgeous! I hope they all germinate and bloom like crazy for you :)
Marigolds have such a low germination rate!!!

Agreed, I’m glad that I’m able to do this.
If anyone is wanting to start their plants from seeds you are definitely the one to watch. Great information. ☺️
Wow, thank you!

So glad it helps!
I will start my seeds for the fall. Hoping we get a nice cool fall this year! Not sure what to pal t, so I will follow your recommendation.
Fingers crossed for a cool fall!
I can’t believe it’s that time already!!!! But weather is so hot in Houston right now that starting seeds is good alternative to being outdoors 😊
You got that right! It always feels good to start planning g for cooler weather!
Yep. North Louisiana here. My petunias are on their last legs. These triple digits are rough!
So rough!!!
Tank you i love your vidios .Have a good day.
Thank you! You too!

Oh wow! Maybe it’s not warm enough for them yet 🤔
Thank You for taking us along. Your videos are a great help as I am just down the road so I basically copycat your plan.
Awesome! High there, neighbor!
We have these in our garden at this time and they are so large. The more we cut the more comes back. Love love them! Zone N Florida zone 9

Do you start snapdragons for fall planting? Great video.
Yes I do! I’ll have a video coming up soon with them!
I I love your notebook. Can you tell me where you purchased it? Thank you.
It’s a Happy Planner. Here’s my video on my journal ruclips.net/video/yMzZCaWYlNU/видео.htmlsi=c9-pHiLUXPRDhpK0

What about pansies? Do you start those for fall? I’m outside Memphis we just got move to a zone 8A but we really act still like 7B.
Yep! I’ll be starting in the next week!

I would think it’s too hot for these two varieties.
