Thank you for doing this series! Discovered your channel now and am definitely subscribing! Could you do one of these videos on growing poppies? I’m having some trouble
I haven’t had to upsize them yet, this is my third year growing them this way. I’ve heard zinnias can be fussy about their roots but I haven’t had that experience. 🙂🌸
I’ve heard of soil blocking and seen a few others share the process. I’m starting seeds for the first time this year, and can see where the space saving would be helpful. Thanks for sharing this specific flower varieties and their growing info, it’s helpful. I hope you’ll continue sharing the process of caring for the seedlings between now and planting them out. No one really shows how to care for seedling after they’re started, through the planting process… watering schedules, feeding, light, heat, etc.
@@carissasgarden thanks you too. It's actually quite terrifying when I stop and think of how many seedlings I can start on these. I have a small yard bahahaha
@@carissasgarden thank you for answering... that's what I was wondering.... was how the little soil blocks didn't get washed away LOL that's cool that they keep their shape
This is my second year growing cut flowers, last year I started indoors and transferred outside around mid April, but they didn’t do well, many of them died, I am in Vancouver zone 8B, When do you think I should direct sow zinnias outside?
Loved 🥰
Thanks! 🌸
Thank you, Happy Growing ! 🪻💚🙃

@@BokaniMbulai Welcome here! Our growing season is over but I’ll try to remember that for next spring! 🌸🙂
900 zinnias, wow! They're going to be so beautiful. 😍 Will you have to upsize them into bigger soil blocks before they get planted out?

That’s a great point! And yes, I plan to share the journey 🙂🌸
Yay a fellow soilblocker. Those ikea trays are perfect. I'm still waiting a couple weeks for zinnias. Nice varieties.
Soil blocking is so great! Happy growing 👩🏽🌾🌸

@@BramptonGardener dangerous! 😆
Where did you get the humidity domes?
The large one is just from a garden centre, the small ones are lids for those tin foil lasagna pans! Handy and cheap 🙂🌸
What made you decide to start them indoors? I keep seeing to direct sow after last frost.
You can do both! Starting them earlier indoors just gives you a jump on blooms 🌸🙂
How do you dump the water out of those trays?
@@missyklein1 water is poured in, anything that is left after 5 mins is poured out. The soil blocks stay together and keep their shape.

@@missyklein1 it’s quite a neat method! 🌱
What is your zone
@@shannamcdonough9588 Hi, we are zone 4B/5.
This is my second year growing cut flowers, last year I started indoors and transferred outside around mid April, but they didn’t do well, many of them died, I am in Vancouver zone 8B, When do you think I should direct sow zinnias outside?
Hope you have better success with direct sowing them! After your last frost is recommended. 🙂 🌸
Thanks!
