I live in a similar climate, zone 5. Your videos have been very helpful. I like to grow cut flowers as a hobby. Thank you!

[@wildbirdfarm]

Thanks so much!

The hay bales - did you just open and fluff around them?
I love how you wrap them ❤

[@wildbirdfarm]

Thanks! I left the hay bales in tack and lined them down the sides of the row. I used bark mulch down the center to give more insulation.

Я тоже живу в зоне 5(5а). Хочу попробовать вырастить. Розы у нас растут хорошо. Ранункулюс и анемоны мы выкапываем на зиму. А соломой утеплять нельзя: или он сгниет, или мышки испортят корни. Надо утеплять корень большой пластиковой бутылкой ( отрехать дно, заткнуть горло и это плотно втиснуть в землю над растением). Потом это все засыпать стружкой сосны и натянуть агроволокно. Мы так инжир растим. Для лучшего результата можно предварительно насыпать ведро грунта на стриженые стебли и потом поставить бутылку. Попробуйте. Возможно это поможет. А сено нельзя. Оно уничтожит растение. Удачи!

Thanks for this. How short do you trim them before winterizing?

Thank you for demonstrating the harvest of eucalyptus. I’m a home gardener. I’m planning to buy a wispy 4’ tall Parvula Gum and don’t know when I can harvest or how. The side shoots are too small for bouquets and there is only one bushy branch at the top. Should I leave the plant to grow all spring and summer before harvesting? Thx so much

[@wildbirdfarm]

I would let it grow a bit. When leaves are leathery, branches should be ready to harvest!

[@dietschegroosmame3596]

Beautiful.
For the bouquet in your home, do you give fresh water in between?

[@wildbirdfarm]

Yep, I keep fresh bouquets in water and will change the water every couple days.

[@mhuskies09]

Did you harvest same year it was planted?

[@wildbirdfarm]

Yes! I haven’t gotten it to overwinter yet here in zone 5.

[@mhuskies09]

@wildbirdfarm thank you! I just heard we should harvest the first year so I wasn't sure.
