Notes*
Texas Bluebonnets may need to be sown earlier in the fall/winter season to establish in time for spring bloom. Stomping on your seeds or scarifying them can also help with germination. But the biggest factor for a good bluebonnet bloom is PRECIPITATION. So if conditions are dry, consider supplementing with hand watering to help them get established!

Vanessa so glad I found you, have been looking for someone in central Texas!
I'm so glad you found me too!
Me too! Theres so many of us.
More long format please ❤ just found you and like the vids
Sweet Alyssum attracts hormworm predators. Planted it near my tomatoes last year, and I didn’t have a single hornworm 😊
YESSS
Maybe I’ll have to dig mine up from up front and stick it out back then!
Hi ,New subscriber,
We live in Montgomery County, Texas.

Glad I found you ,

I love Native American Seed! Ordering their shade grass for our yard to replace our dead St. Augustine. Going to order more of the wildflowers too!
Such a great idea!
I’m actually about to do this too, I’m in Austin as well :)
I love Native American seeds! I planted firewheel, bluebonnets, Greg's mist and a shade friendly mix this year.
I have fallen in love with Greg's mist! It grows so well under extreme neglect haha !
I got my first Greggs mistflower this year! Im so glad that theres a nice variety of cute natives that like sun. Now I just need to keep the dang deer off of them.
I'm going to have to look at the seed company you talked about because I'm trying to make my how front yard a native flower yard, down here in Converse. My HOA won't be able to say anything. Lol. Plus, I just want those flowers AND the pollinators for my garden.
Yessss, do ittt!
😂😂😂😂 the pup to bark at nothing. I have three dogs from the Philippines and they love barking at nothing. I followed your channel because I have been trying to grow flowers and vegetables here in DFW. Everything is new to me and watching your videos makes me feel that I’ll be successful in growing plants and veggies
I bet I can help! Texas is a very crazy place to try and grow things but it is possible !
Love the comment about your dog running the fence line to bark at nothing. Made me laugh out loud cause i just spent the morning garden planning and taking that into consideration myself. 😂 Also really appreciate your content cause I’m in texas and have only been gardening for a year so thank you!!
Top notch video!
Oh is it a good time? Aaaaaah thank you! I wanted to plant some for hummingbirds and bees. I'm from Texas as well, so I'm going to go for it.
Yay! You won't regret it!
"In order to bark....at nothing"😂 same pup....same
😂
I’m new to Houston, and I didn’t think we could grow poppies here! I’m so excited to throw all my old poppy packets out into the dirt and see if they’re still viable lol
In Houston you may want to try and sow them in November/December next year if they don't do well for you this round! It's definitely worth a try
Stevia! Dude I unalived that plant not once but twice. That’s a really neat seed company I’ll have to purchase some for my texas fam
I don't know how it perennialized but it haha!
Can’t wait to see!!!!
How beautiful!
Thank you! I'm excited to see how things pop in the spring!
I can't wait to get my seeds 🥰🥰
I'm excited for you!
Thanks for this! I’ll hit one of the small nurseries that I know carry the NASC offerings.
The other day, I went through my BI water-wise packet to identify what was what, so I could remove some of the ones I don’t want. Last year, I had tossed an assortment envelope in an be admittedly too-small (I missed the ‘sq ft’ portion) bed, and it was so overcrowded! Plus some plants I realized I didn’t want. Came up awesomely, but it was chaos. 🤣
I like chicweed! chamomile, borage, nettles, narsturtiums!
Oh my god I’m buying seeds TOMORROW! I live in a little townhome with public space in the back yard that no one really takes care of or trims. I’m so gonna sow some environment enhancing flowers 💐
Yay! That's perfect!
Good stuff!
Thanks for all the info. I'm considering starting my own channel. Your'e inspiring!
Definitely do it!
Umm ok you did not have to snap so hard 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
👍
I made it my goal to plant wildflower gardens. I have milkweed, summer poinsettias, daisies, hollyhocks, indian blankets, sedum, sea oats, maximillian sunflower, boneset, coneflowers, asters, candytuft, mint, blue sage, tried the standing cypress wouldn't germinate....lol. I have tons of seeds to plant this year, I continue to plant more each year until I get my garden established. If it freezes you can just cover tender sprouts with another flower pot, tarp, or trash bag, that way they escape the frost. At the end of the season Dollar general has a 90 % off sale I go then and buy the $10 flower pots for a dollar...this way I have many flower pots and can add more flowers each year to my porch and patio
Yes! That is amazing, I bet your space is a wonderland!
I have native seeds I’m fixing to plant. How much water do they require water?
You can initially water them in but otherwise they rock and roll with average precipitation amounts this time of year. If it's exceptionally dry where you're at give them a good watering 1-2 times a week
I was a little late. Just planted mine,raked and spread compost. Hoping for the best with the coming rains . Guess I missed cold stratification period. What do you think? ❤
It depends on where you live! We still get 2 full months of very cold weather from jan-feb so it's just enough for some flowers but not enough for others
Do you just toss them around and lightly brush leaves around it or do you actually layer dirt on top of seeds? Newbie and love your video
How are your wildflowers coming along?
Did you get those big bags of seed from the water garden in cedar park/Leander?
Good eye! Yes I did
@@fromthegardenchannel I love that place! My mom lives nearby so I try to go whenever I visit her.
I've never been able to get my Poppies to bloom in Oklahoma.
When are you sowing them typically?
@@fromthegardenchannel late March early August. We can get snow here until Easter.
@@nicoleduncan2964I would be starting them in milk jugs out in the snow. It's called winter sowing and it works well in those types of climates
Hi there! Quick question…do wildflowers have a long root system or are they mostly shallow? I’m in Louisiana zone 8b and I have rectangle shaped planters that I have placed around my raised beds, I’m wondering if they will grow in those planters okay? They are no more than about 18” deep.
Some that behave as perennials will have a more extensive root system but in my experience 18" is more than enough root depth for almost all of them as long as you can manage moisture!
@@fromthegardenchannel Thanks!
Makes more sense to just put them in the fridge, rather than have them risk sprouting on a 70 degree winter day or be eaten by squirrels and other critters.
Yup it does! But, I personally don't manage seeds that I toss in the fridge. It's an object permanence thing. Direct sowing is nice, when it works out. Which is has for the last few years for me 🤷🏻♀️
Where in Texas is she located?
Can’t wait to see!!!!
Can’t wait to see!!!!
Me too!
