I clicked on this video for a list and found out so much more. Even why some of my past mistakes happened Ed. Ty. Usually these videos lose my attention because there's too much info that is to direct or maybe it's the speaker. Lol. Anyway I really enjoyed the video. Lots of helpful information too.
That's great, thanks Jill! Mine grew really well and got eaten by a mouse in the greenhouse, I'll have to cover them in future! I hope they turn out well!
@@GrowIt Hi, my sweet peas are growing great but I've noticed the cardboard tubs are going fury, like mould. Will this affect the plants? Also sorry to hear about those greedy little mice. Good luck with the next batch👍🌺
@@jillfullen5480 Hi Jill, it will just be a bit of mould if the tubes are damp, it's just part of the tubes breaking down. It shouldn't have any affect on the seedlings, but you can reduce it by wiping the mould away with a paper towel and letting air circulate around the tubes to dry out a bit.
I was wondering what I could put my recycled rolls inside because I'm going to pot up my sweet peas!!! I knew about the paper pot, and hadn't found a use for them yet! T H A N X
We harvested some poppy seeds from our garden several weeks ago. Do you think we can sow them now or do we need to do anything like freeze them first? Thanks!
That's great to hear! You should be fine to sow them straight away - that's what would have happened had they just dropped off the plant. Some seeds do need to go through a cold spell to break their embryonic dormancy, but autumn sown seeds get this naturally through winter, so they'll be fine either way!
If I plant onion seeds in containers do I leave them outside or in greenhouse all winter? Love your videos, they ha e been a big help to this novice gardener 👌
Hi Jill thanks I'm glad they've helped you! Generally if you've got a greenhouse it won't hurt to keep them in there over winter to protect them from the coldest weather and keep frost off them. If you've got a winter hardy variety like Senshyu Yellow, they should be fine to keep outside as long as water can drain out and doesnt collect and freeze inside. Just keep in mind that your container soil is more susceptible to temperature changes so if it's going to be especially cold perhaps take it inside. Hope this helps!
An error, I'm afraid. The Blue Ball cornflower is blue, but there are different colours to select from, so this year I'm also sowing the rose variety. I soak my sweetpeas overnight to speed up germination. Same principle works on any dried pulse. On daffs, something, like the peas, I was taught over half a century ago... Plant half the bulbs at 4 inches/10cm and the rest at six inches/15cm. The ones at four inches come up first, as you'd expect, but the rest come up as the first lot are dying back, giving you a fresh burst of colour. Any thoughts on the soot (charcoal) and salt treatment of onions? Thanks for uploading.

Hello, the UK coast is mainly zone 9 and we rarely have frost in Liverpool, so some may struggle in 7B. There’s a really good guide on this website for US growers in zone 7: ourstoneyacres.com/what-to-plant-in-october-zones-7-8

I love the info. Definetely going to give it a try. Thanks so much.
Just done my sweet peas like this today and now on the kitchen windowsill 👍

@@GrowIt great thank you for all your help, much appreciated 🙂
No problem Jill! It won't be long until it's time to plant them out.
All the information was useful thanks especially the cardboard tubes that I can now use for my plants instead of plastics thankyou
Thats great Beverley I'm glad it helped!
Really nice flowers so much to sow great tips/information thanks for your time 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Graham!
Really like your video, straight to the point. Thanks
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great video even 4 years later. 😊

Great info, please can you tell me when to plant delphiniums and should I sow them indoors or straight in the soil outside thanks.
Thank you

That’s a great idea with the daffodils Billy, I’ll do that with my next ones.

Hi there! What do you do with slugs and snails? They eat cardboard, poppies and sweet pease like a mad :(
I don't have much trouble with them really, but I usually use beer traps for beds with beetroot and other slug favourites.
Beer traps and copper pan scourers.
HOW HARDY ARE THESE SEEDS IF GROWN OUTDOORS IN UNITED STATES ZONE 7B (-20 DEGREES F.)

Tried this a couple of times in the past. Won't do it again. Grows mushrooms on the outside of the tubes.
That’s not great! That could be either spores finding their way to the tube or already being present in the compost.
Cover crops....green manure
I think any seeds sown here in the SE will get washed away. It hasn’t stopped raining😂😂
