    • @perennial-garden
      @perennial-garden 2 дні тому

      Here in Fredericia, Denmark (zone 8a), winter temperatures on the coast generally range between 25°F to 35°F (-4°C to 2°C), though we occasionally experience dips a bit lower, especially during cold snaps. It’s much milder compared to Maine, where I imagine your winters are quite a bit harsher! For your unheated greenhouse, winter sowing could still work, but it’s important to use cold-hardy seeds and perennials that work well in your area. As a general rule, seeds that naturally reseed themselves in your area are perfect for winter sowing. These seeds are adapted to germinate after experiencing cold conditions.

    Greetings from Slovakia! Thank you guys for such a useful video, I love your channel. I would like to ask one question though, regarding the soil. I like the idea that you do not use potting soil, especially because in slovakia we actually do not have a lot of potting mix products to choose from. We either have seed starting mixes or than universal potting mix kinds. Could you maybe give a little more instructions on the soil, for example what the composition should be like, so it is easier for me to find the right one on our countrys market? Thank you in advance for your help!

    • @perennial-garden
      @perennial-garden 2 дні тому

      Thank you for your kind words! It’s always exciting to embrace the start of spring, even if it’s just sowing seeds. 😊 As for your question, there are definitely some plants that are harder to grow here in Denmark compared to the US, mostly due to our climate on the east coast, which is **zone 8a**. While our winters are relatively mild, the shorter growing season, cooler summers, and higher humidity can make certain plants challenging. Heat-loving crops like okra, melons, and some long-season tomatoes often struggle without a greenhouse, and southern perennials like gardenias or crepe myrtles don’t enjoy our cooler, wetter conditions. Tender bulbs like cannas or caladiums also need extra protection here. Drought-tolerant plants, such as agave or yucca, sometimes don’t thrive due to our higher rainfall. Even heat-loving annuals like zinnias or cosmos need a head start indoors to reach their full potential. That said, we can grow so many plants in common, like echinacea, rudbeckia, lavender, peonies, and hardy vegetables like kale and carrots, which love the cooler climate. 😊

    Hello Allan and Lars I'm glad you experimented first with these methods. If ever i overwinter in a plastic tub i will remember not to place holes on the lid. Lupins are rewarding plants and grow into bushy shrubs. Have you ever tried the yellow scented variety? The winter has settled into 'normal' in my part of the uk. No unexpected wind surges or flooding for us. Although 8 miles down the road a river burst it's banks and made travelling through the village impossible. Houses flank the river so possibly had to be evacuated. How does one escape in those circumstances? Enjoy your gardening and thanks for keeping in touch💞🌟🌟🥂

      How terrible with all the flooding... is everything ok now? Sending positive thoughts for safety for everyone affected. For us, it's finally a sunny (NOT crazy windy) weekend... a real blessing after this past week.

      @@perennial-garden hi...yes I believe so,but generally it's an ongoing problem when the river rises. Idyllic in the hotter weather,with outdoor garden furniture and wildlife swimming past.In my lifetime nothing has been done to address it. So buyers beware 💞

      Even neighbors have given us meat trays over the years 😂 And we use them year after year.

    Another really useful video! I think it would be a great idea to do a video on what you sow each month. I’m guessing you sow a lot of things at once for Winter sowing but I’ve never been sure of the exact months!

    • @perennial-garden
      @perennial-garden 4 дні тому

      You’re right, for winter sowing we sow a lot at once - and then they sprout when they’re ready. So we don’t really pay attention to the months - we do them all now when we have time. And then annuals in the spring (some in summer if they’re late flowering).

      😂 I’ll tell Allen to call me that too. Haha But yes, we sow everything now. Biennials we sowed in autumn or late summer so they have a better chance of flowering this year. But otherwise… Jan is best for us.

    Happy New year. We have snow in northwest Georgia, probably about 1in but it's snow. We get it so rarely, it's mostly sleet now. Looking forward to your next video and spring.

      I saw that! Family in Roswell posted pictures of their snow! Even in south GA (where I’m from) they had some pretty cold weather. Hope you’re staying warm and that both of you are feeling well ❤️❤️
