    This is such a great video Steve, I’ve been playing with winter sowing this year and have poppies, ammi, cornflower, strawflower and Welsh onion, zebrune shallots and white Lisbon spring onions that grew sown winter and protected in my plastic mini greenhouse; it’s a great technique! I’ve had a setback because the storm blew my fence down that hit the little greenhouse and shunted most of it onto the floor so some I need to resow now but at least I have time and it takes the pressure off spring when we start growing things that can only be sown then. Thanks again for sharing your expertise! Very helpful and useful info indeed! 🪴🌹🌼🌸

    • @GreenSideUp
      @GreenSideUp  2 года назад

    Very interesting Steve, I do enjoy your videos. I also have plants that I Autumn sowed, both veg and flowers. My gardening has developed in the opposite way, from mostly flowers and shrubs for floristry to more and more veg space in raised beds during retirement. Best wishes from East Yorkshire.

    Hey Steve, I love the whole idea of the companion planting and succession planting both are new to mee the past two years. Last year I started several perennials that flower the 2nd year so this year will be exciting to see these I think it was 6-7 flowers. I really want to establish a perennial flower garden get them in growing well together and just maintain them year by year. Very excited for the 2022 garden!! take care thank you for the video bye for now

      @clareellam1615 2 года назад +2

      Things that drop their seed and they grow the year after having survived the winter grow as you’re just replicating nature, it’s amazing! Because they’re out in the cold they naturally grow really slowly until the light picks up then they’re off! Try cornflowers if you’re experimenting, I did variety black ball a couple of weeks ago and the seedlings are up, just grown in a mushroom tub with another clear lid taped on top then left outside
