I know this is an old video and you might not see this Niall, but I have to thank you so very very much. A few years ago I bought a beautiful Clematis from a local garden center and planted it in my front garden bed. The next year, I had a perennial flower that volunteered itself right next to my Clematis. And for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what it was. And now I know! It's a purple Aquilegia! "Grandmother's Garden" to be specific. I was absolutely wracking my brain trying to figure out what it was and now I have my answer. Thank you!!
Just got back home from Ireland. I'm always so jealy of how foxglove and bluebell grow there all over the countryside. Oh, and rhododendrons, so gorgeous. You are so blessed to be able to see those all over.
I've always called those kind of plants enjoyable nuisances. Like you have the forget-me-nots I've managed to have the wild violets wherever I've had a lawn. I would actually avoid mowing until they finished blooming which just added to the problem when I finally did mow, I basically scattered the seeds even more. One thing that is interested living in North Dakota now is seeing how sow many of those plants you have just shown traveled from Europe to the east coast and moved west with the settlers. Some hate them I find them comforting (even the dreaded dandelions out in the fields).
Hello Niall, over here from Linda’s Garden. So sad she is sick but I throughly enjoyed your video of your garden. I found you naturalist style of gardening refreshing. I’m definitely going to take your advice and sow some seed this week. Thank you for your advice. I was definitely excited to see Alexander from The Middle-Sized Garden on here. I’m a subscriber of hers and now your channel.
So funny that the one guest I see on your channel is Alexandra, the only other garden channel I’m subscribed to! Thank you for this video it’s super timely and I’ll definitely try a few of these out and see how they do
Niall, this video and the section from Alexandria, brought back memories. When I was a young chap, here in Scotland, I loved going to purchase my bare root wallflowers. These days with big commercial garden centres they are now almost impossible to find. Totally agree Wallflowers are the one seed everyone should sow now. Your video put me in the mood to sow foxgloves again, many thanks for a great video.
Greetings, Niall, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 ❤️ What a wonderful selection of flowers to grow from seeds. Well done and I have been subscribed to the Middlesize Garden for a couple years. Another "Must follow Channel" Alexandra is lovely. Happy Gardening Weekend 🌿💚🌿
@@niallgardens Having her and Liz standing with you sure is a plus for your channel. And I know people will check out theirs, if they somehow missed these 2 powerhouses in the past few years. Happy Gardening Week to you 💚
Another great video Niall. I’m recovering from knee replacement surgery so relying on others to look after my garden for now 😮. I’m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞
I felt I was way behind too but going strong now with seeds.. It's still not warm here in southern Scotland, so I think I've timed it just right. Thankyou for a very informative video Niall. Cosmos nearly ready to go out, lots of Sunflowers, Rudbeckia doing ok. Just waiting for it to get a bit warmer!
I felt the same way about forget-me-knots but when you see them amongst our spring bulbs enough said 😉 love the smell of wallflowers I’m sure they flower later in the year 😀 excellent suggestions Niall 🌸💕🌸
Thank you Niall,those aqualiga, i call them grannys bonnets. What a beautiful garden that lady has, so beautiful,great tip on the wallflowers. Foxgloves are a beautiful flower too.Oh Lillies, as you well know, my fave, love them. Great seed recommendations, poppies,pop up everywhere in areas, i love them. Thank you Niall, another great video. Have a super week..
Fantastic video, thank you! I was feeling like I had missed the boat a bit with seeds this year but so many of my favourite flowers were in your list so I am definitely going to sow some seeds today, thank you!
Brilliant video, I am new to your channel and so enjoyed watching. I’m also new to Ireland, wet and windy County Mayo and have a lot to learn. I have got a job at community poly tunnel to help bring it on so I will be sowing these seeds. Thanks Heather
Yeah I would’ve been the same actually - in terms of not considering sowing things for next year. But it’s a lovely way of getting a bit ahead. Good luck with it!
Hi Niall, great video! Running out of space to plant much more! There are wild foxgloves in the garden due to our location but the self sees all over the place which I have to keep in top of but they are all the same colour. I don’t mind a few but controlling them is hard. I have still to plant out some tiger lilies so hoping to do so these next few days
Another fantastic video with beautiful flower choice selection and looked at the middle sized garden channel and will subscribe. It's great to learn from others and gaining your own experience in your own garden. Happy gardening.
I'm in Ireland. Last month, I sowed some lavender seeds indoors. Don't laugh, but I get one seed per cell by using a pair of tweezers. I have them on the windowsill of my utility room, indoors. I have not had huge success with lavender before, but imagine my surprise when I had 100% of my seeds germinate and I have 100% seedlings! I believe it comes of waiting until THIS late in the season to attempt to sow them!
Don’t worry, I won’t laugh at all… because I do the same with so many seeds! There’s something really therapeutic about sowing things really neatly! Congrats on getting such a good germination rate! Just think of what all those lavender plants are going to look like when they’re fully grown!!
Hi Niall, please could you tell me the name of the tall purple flower in front of you? It's growing in my garden and although I think it's pretty groovy, I'm unsure if it want to smother everything else in sight!
Hi I had that brown bug what they egg she do eat your rooter plant . from bottom have 2 plus I got bad back and been sifting my soiled to get ride of it plus eggs bug kill to as well as that bug kill that kill but still got eggs if unstated my writing
Excellent video as always Niall! Foxgloves have always had my eye since seeing wild ones grow on hikes up the wicklow mountains. Will be growing them next chance I get :)

Thank you Niall, you just reminded me l'm not too late to get some seeds in. That's my next garden job 😊👍

What do you think about Cosmos ? Should I still give it a try ?
Alexandra and the Middle Sized Garden is my absolute favorite. Am subbed to you now, too.

I love to grow Canterbury bells. They may be a little out of place here in Western Oklahoma USA, but they make me so happy.
I needed this reminder now, I would never think to plan ahead for next year with some of these biennials I love foxgloves and hollyhocks!
Yeah I would’ve been the same actually - in terms of not considering sowing things for next year. But it’s a lovely way of getting a bit ahead. Good luck with it!
Fantastic video Niall. I've just purchased some Iceland poppy seeds. Can't wait to get them in!! Thanks Niall x
Hi Geraldine! ❤️ Good luck with the Iceland poppies - I really love them. There’s something so delicate and papery about them! Have a great week!
Hello from Sacramento, California zone 9b USA! What a great video! I’ll have to check if I can start any of those from seeds where I am.
Another video rich in beautiful imagery Niall. Loved it!
Thanks Liz! ❤️🥰

Can someone in N.Ireland recommend a good company to order my seeds from please 🙏🏻 I am having difficulty with shipment to N.Ireland 🤔
I love this video and series of "What flower seeds to sow..." Will there be a video for July and August? That would be amazing!
There certainly will be a July episode - it'll be out this Sunday at 9am!
Just found you....what zone are you in?
Hi Peggy! Where I am is very roughly 8b/9a or so!
Is the title an error? May or June? Or does it not really matter? Sorry I'm completely new to gardening
Good spot! Fixed, thanks!
Title says May? Or is it June?
Good spot! Fixed, thanks!
