- Spring is fast approaching, we have all been busy ordering our seed, and it is time to make sure our growing spaces are ready and waiting for are young plants in a few weeks time.
When I initially designed my growing space I made several mistakes, which were rectified soon after, but making these mistakes, cost me some of my valuable time, so this video is the video I needed to watch when I started my micro flower field.

Thank you. Pitched just right for me. I’m just starting out.
Just subscribed! We small RUclips Channels need to unite! Your beds are gorgeous!! Excited to watch
Great video as always ❤
Thank you Cindy 🌸
❤❤❤ I’m definitely excited about this year’s growing season and you are inspirational! Thank you for sharing your successes, and failures. 😊. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers Suzanne.
Thank you Karen, my sweet peas, snapdragons and stock, have all broken the soil, so even more excited now. Happy growing 🌸
You have inspired me to use some wire netting. I don’t have a problem with the other netting and I have no issues with cutting it. I do have a large roll of wire that I have now found another use for. I bought the large roll of wire to build tomato cages for indeterminate tomato plants and to also have structures for my upright Clematis, which grow between three and 5 feet they are not trailing. They grow upright. These structures have been perfect for that as well but now I would like to use some for netting. Thank you, thank you thank you…you are truly amazing at what you can do with such a small space.
Thank you for your very kind comment.
I just wish I had of used the wire netting in the beginning, I think it was the price that put me off.
Happy growing 🌸
@ in Canadian dollars I paid a little over $100 for 50’ by 48” 14 guage galvanized wire but that was a little over 2 years ago, would cost more now😢. Will love to try some as netting this Spring! And yes it would be expensive to do all the flowerbeds.
At horticulture college, we did fertiliser trials using silver beet seedlings. I can report that the ones watered with seaweed solution actually shrank! It's not fertiliser - you'd be much better off using a soluble complete fertiliser with an NPK factor. Honestly, seaweed "fertiliser" is a bit of a con. It's usually sold as some kind of tonic to ward off diseases. Have a look - there's no NPK ratios on seaweed stuff ! Great video - hope this helps.
Gosh, this is really very interesting, thank you.
Was it kelp based or calcified seaweed? Calcified is just a mineral. Kelp is plant based.
Love your videos, can anyone tell me if I can winter sow snapdragons in milk jugs. I have done some perennials using this method but would like to try a few snap dragons. I’m in Eastern Canada zone 5B.
I grew snapdragons last year using the winter sewing method. I used the older seeds that I still had and they germinated well. I, too, am in Canada 5b. Give it a try and good luck. 🍁
@@karengemmill6205 thank you I’m in Prince Edward Island!
I’m so confused by the issues some are experiencing with peat-free soil mixes. I use both indiscriminately and haven’t noticed a real difference. If anything, a couple of years ago when I grew exclusively in peat-free (just because that’s how things worked out that year), my seedlings did so much better and the soil texture was lovely and richer! Has me wondering if what we get here in the USA is actually peat-free if you’re all having so much trouble with it. 😄
I definitely think the US seems to have some really good growing mediums, I’m sure they are peat free, they must just have really good recipes, we really need to have something reliable here, every batch is so variable. Glad you don’t have a problem, happy growing 🌸
Solid fences don't help you to break wind? Tell that to the guys that put up my fence!

Love your videos, can anyone tell me if I can winter sow snapdragons in milk jugs. I have sown some perennials using this method but would like to try a few snap dragons. I’m in Eastern Canada zone 5B.
I have, successfully. Just about anything can be winter sown in milk jugs (I use clear juice bottles that let more light in), except maybe some tender plants like tomatoes that can get killed if they sprout too soon and you then get very cold weather (so leave those until later in the winter/early spring to winter sow). I'm in Zone 7a in Virginia.
@ thank you, just wanting to get some of these annual and perennial seeds sown. I grow far too many. So I will winter sow a few more varieties.
And I start approximately 1000 tomato plants every year. For heirloom tomato plant sales. They all go to my greenhouse. The annuals and perennials are for my personal enjoyment. Not a floral farmer but do sell bouquets and give away a lot to friends and family. Happy Gardening!
Hello Jane, thank you for your comment. I am no expert with regards your growing zone, but I suspect it may get too cold for snap dragons, but you could give it a go and see what happens. By the way 1000 tomato plants is incredible. I think it is such a lovely gesture to have flowers available to give to friends, just lovely 🌸
@ to be honest I think the snaps would be fine. They’re considered a cool crop here. I know I transplant to the beds before our last frost date in the spring. I also plant the statice transplants before our last frost date if I have time but usually am too busy with tomatoes. Am hoping to get them in the ground a bit earlier this year and know with winter sowing I won’t have to harden off!
