I’ve been planting out so many things everyday since Sunday afternoon. Hopefully we don’t have anymore frosts. Most all of my seedlings are in the beds, except peppers. I direct sowed zinnias yesterday. I love this time of year! 🙌 (zone 8b/9a near Houston)
Zone 8a closer to Dallas!
@@gardenrevived1031 Howdy neighbor!!! 🤠 👋
I love watching your channel too! 💚
+Nicole Smith Gardening fingers crossed but I caught wind of potential drops in temps at the end of the month 😒
@@shesamadgardener Boooo! 👎🏼🤞well that would be terrible
I really need to invest in some frost cloth.
Growing various plants is really a productive hobby. from sowing seeds to harvesting later.
Excellent timing I just came in for lunch. All 350+ corn seeds now planted in the backyard. Time for lunch and watch what others are up to in the garden this year. Edit: and cleaning out the garage for the car this afternoon to get ready for the thunderstorms that may bring hail. Keep the car safe.
+Hobby Woodworker we put our cars into the garage too!
I love Hyacinth bean! Such pretty foliage, flowers, and beans!😊
+Jane Bentrott they are such a unique plant!
Let the planting begin and love your little buddy’s shadow watching you.
+Pamela Lopez always following me around ❤️
I’m planting Zinnias for the first time ever this year and I am really looking forward to watching them grow. I’m a RUclips gardener too. Thank you for sharing this video. It’s very helpful to me. Thanks fo teaching me something new. I hope we can learn more from each other.
+Life is messy but I’m Learning as I grow! You are welcome! 💚
Wow, guess most of us here in zones 8b/9 are on the same page these days. Today, I direct sowed lettuce, zucchini, green beans, and cucumbers in my raised planter beds. I, also, direct sowed zinnias from seeds that I saved from last year and some asters. Your video was perfectly in sync with what I was doing and I was glad to see we are following the same sowing methods. I even bought some Plant-tone organic fertilizer in hopes that I have the same results as you do with it. Let's all cross our fingers and hope we see little bits of green poking up in about a week or so.
+Rosemary Purnell Plantone was a big game changer for me.
I'm glad to find a Gardner in my zone. I live in southern Mississippi zone 8b. Thanks for your gardening information
+Eva Haynes You are welcome! 💚
I still have a month before my last frost date, but I'll be planting many of the things you plant. Thanks for your videos. I love your garden kitty.
+Lila L You are welcome! 💚
Direct sowing is my next project. I will start with zinnias, not the hardest flower to grow, endive gomphrena, and echinacia. I have new compost added to my cutting flower garden, except for the echinacia section since they don't like enriched soil. It's stressful and exciting, waiting to see if the plants come up.
+Kathryn Mettelka sounds like you are all set for success!
I've had to change my seed plan for this year.
I WAS planning on using a certain part of my yard for some food production.
But...
After giving it more thought, I now want to clean up that soil before using for food plants.
So-
I'll now be sowing White Clover as a cover crop in some areas, and LOADS of Sunflowers in other areas for some soil remediation.
The largest area for the food plants I WAS going to use was previously neglected plot of land.
It was neglected bcuz it is been a water pathway during flash floods for the past 20 years - at least.
So we are now changing the water path so we can claim that land to plant food crops.
I'm using the Sunflowers to pull up the heavy metals in the soil, which accumulate in the water, which originally comes from a busy street. And "street water" gets very polluted from vehicle traffic, carrying lots of heavy metals, and other icky stuff.
Meanwhile, I've never grown Sunflowers, and here I am fixin to cover about 300 square feet with them!! Ackkk!!
It's kinda weird...
It's kinda trippy...
It will definitely be WILD !
(like a wild, untended garden!)
AND wild in a freaky way to my brain!
It's gunna be FABULOUS!!! ha!!
From seed I'm also going to grow 2 other things I've never grown before, so I'm ok if they fail, as long as I learn from it!
Those are:
Watermelon
And
Cannellini Beans
Who knows what will happen there!!
It's going to be a weird and wonderfully wild growing year!!
(Meanwhile, I'm STILL trying to get all those "lost daff bulbs" planted!! But should be done in the next week!)
I don't know if I should wait for the night temps to get up to 60° before planting any of my seeds...
I FEEL like that would be a wise move, but maybe it's not necessary?
I dunno...
+gardengatesopen that many sunflowers will be glorious!!! I agree about the street water too … we’ve had to do some redirecting overtime … it’s not a fun task but it is definitely rewarding in the years to come.
Where did you get your feed trough things? A friend suggested that to me yesterday for a raised bed. I want a veggie garden but I need something that's really raised because I can't physically bend over very far. I'm in your neighborhood.
+Aimee Zemanek I got them from Tractor Supply!
How do you know how many seeds to sprinkle on your garden bed? This is my first time with seeds and I planted waaaayyyy too many snap dragons in my seed trays and my winter sowing (sadly I didn't make the connection between freezing temperatures and seedlings in winter sowing and lost most of my snap dragons, strawflowers and statice which had already germinated). Having said that, I can't fathom how I'll separate the snap dragons that are in trays to single plants. They shouldn't give beginners so many seeds!!!
So....with any seeds I try to salvage by direct sowing, I'm not sure how many seeds to spread out. I'm zone 7, Maryland and going to be starting some warm crops in the next 2 weeks indoors and my direct sow date is late April beginning of May.
Thanks for any help you have to offer.
+Janice Tanner totally understand! I did the same thing when first starting! I usually plant 2 to 3 seeds per hole no matter what the seed … I do this so I have a better chance of germination. I rarely follow the suggested distance between plants and usually do them about half of the suggested distance apart.
