Bri!!!! First, I love your channel! Please keep making videos! Even if you think the topic you have thought of to discuss is silly or irrelevant, please just film it and I promise I will watch! I check everyday for videos you may post and I get so much valuable information from you! I have stopped watching other channels because they have really stopped being about educational gardening and more of “fancy” things gardening and that to me just does not provide answers I’m looking for. At any rate, please stay true to your mission and I promise I will keep watching! Second, are you going to sell any of your seeds? Would love some of that bee balm and sea oats! I bought a coral cavalier mum you suggested in a video (the color palettes or maybe it was a garden plan video 🤔 ) a long time ago and it’s growing beautifully! The blooms are ready to burst open any day now!
Keep up the good work! Garden on!
Xoxo,
a zone 8b gardener 🌺💜🌸
Thank you so much for saying that-RUclips is so intimidating and outside of my comfort zone but I love sharing, so I really appreciate your comment!! ❤️🥰☺️
Well said I was thinking Exactly what you wrote👍🏼
Me too. Always great content and you are a good teacher, understandable facts with enough information to make us understand and remember.
Seed Saving is probably my favorite fall chore!
Great video, you should have a million subscribers. Great Channel!
once again, another video that was soooo helpful! Sometimes it's hard to tell what/where the seeds are. Sounds silly but for a beginner, this information was so informative. Thank you.
Great video! ... Probably the most comprehensive and easy to understand that I've watched. Thank you!!
Never knew I could save zinnia seeds a little on the green side and let them cure :) thank you for saving me a few weeks
The specific examples you've shared are so helpful! You've covered a range of seeds. I appreciate your effective video presence and examples from what can be harvested green (nasturtium) and what needs to ripen fully (hyacinth bean). The sheep in the fields are fun too.
I look forward to your videos anytime I'm online, and especially thinking regenerative gardening. 🙂
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment! So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Love ur instructions and demonstrations of how to harvest seeds from different plants. My husband and I were so interested that we will try to collect seeds in our own garden. Such inspiring video. Thanks for the content. Please make more videos, no matter what the topic is , always very informative and interesting. Love ❤️.
I’m always worried I’ll do winnowing wrong so thank you for the winnowing demo. it’s nice to know I need little to no equipment to do it.
I absolutely appreciate seed saving videos with the price of seeds. Thank you for doing the video. I learned that I don’t need to wait for nasturtium seeds to dry out.
So helpful! Seed collecting has been intimidating with a couple different plants. Thank you! Love my Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine!
I really do love your videos.
Wonderful information...Enjoyed the video.
Fantastic demo of what to look for when harvesting seeds. Just got some seed catalogues through the door, here in UK. Wow! The increase in price this year. I'll be collecting and winnowing like crazy next year!
Will you please add a link to the terra-cotta trays? I’ve been searching for something such as that! Excellent idea! Thank you in advance
Great tips !!!
Yes the perfect topic ❤
So informative! Thank you!
Amazing info!!❤
That was super informative! Thanks
Great Information, thanks so much!
Perfect timing, I just started today! Thank you!
Yay cheap seeds!! It’s such an important skill!
Great thank you.
Great video. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you! I have been trying to save my seed.
I have the same purple aster and they look spectacular right now. 👍
BRI love your work! I wish I could use terracotta, but I can’t stand to touch it, like some people have an aversion to foil in the mouth? I feel that way about terracotta! 😂😂😂
Great info love your channel!
Thanks so much!!
Just found your channel and loving it. Seed saving, I love, but just getting started, another reason I’m glad I found you. Where do you get your terracottas with the lip. Would love to get some. Thank you and thanks for sharing.
Love this video i will defenitly try "wedling" hope i spelled correctly lol😂 to save seed and money:)
Do you mean winnowing? Blowing air through to remove the chaff (husk, leaves etc.)
Brilliant! I want to save seed, but didn’t know procedures and techniques. Knowing the right time to collect seeds and separate them from chaff is not intuitive for me.
I also have happy garden Romney's
Love watching that Thanks how do you store the seeds and label them?😊
Great question! Usually a variety of little jars or containers, you could also use ziplock bags or little muslin bags once the seeds are fully dry :)
Great tips! Thank you! Do you ever make tea out of your hyssop leaves? It is delicious you should try it!
Absolutely!! Also simple syrups!! Love the licorice flavor!! I even eat the leaves straight 😂
@@Blossomandbranch Great idea! Simple syrups. You are a great inspiration. I work at a farm with autistic kids. We grow all kinds of flowers and veggies. We are building a high tunnel right now. It is so nice to have you videos to get ideas from. Thanks for making them! If you are ever in the Boston area let me know. I would love to have you come talk to my students. They would love you!
I saw that you had Asters standing up right. My Alpine Asters always are fanning over and are not up right. What do you recommend to keep them in the up right position.😊
Can you pick the seed head and bring them in to dry?
Hi! Please share where you get your terracotta dishes.
For the zinnias, is there an advantage to pulling the seeds from the flower while it's still got some color on it versus waiting for the flower to die back and dry up? This was my first year planting zinnias so I'm kind of winging it at this point.
Pretty much the only advantage is if you have a lot of birds that like to eat the seeds like we do!
❤❤❤Thank you for the seed saving details! ❤❤❤
We have a prairie area on the edge of our zone 6 woods, so it is shaded in the afternoon.
Can u recommend a flowering or other prairie plant we can sow there?
What ecoregion are you in? Best to stick to natives I think for prairies, try the native plant finder at nwf .org!
We are in 55B, loamy high till plains. Thank you for the plant finder- great idea!
How do you store your seeds after you harvest? Thank you
Is scabiosa a self seeding annual? Do you have a video on the subject? I'm trying to find the laziest route😊
It's not lazy; it's efficient!
I wish I liked Joe Pye Weed. I absolutely hate it.
Aw, every flower isn’t for everyone!
@@Blossomandbranch Yes and I got Pearly Everlasting on your recommendation and I love it! My echinops + chicory are sitting tight until Spring 2024...
What's sad is when you go out to collect seed, only to find that the flower hasn't been pollinated 😭
Oooof that is sad!!!
