Thanks for visiting the Freshcutky organic gardening channel. In the garden, I will answer some of the most common "gardening for beginners" type questions I get, including growing flowers from seed. Growing greens, growing flowers, and planting beautiful organic food is something I'm really passionate about. Thank you for joining me as I learn to grow flowers, cut flowers, vegetables, and much more. Freshcutky youtube channel and related media are for entertainment purposes only.
Many ornamental flowers and cut flowers are TOXIC. ALWAYS do your own research and take responsibility for the plants that you introduce around your kids, pets, and everyone else. Use common sense when handling plant materials: wear gloves, always wash hands, avoid contact with face, etc. NEVER consume any plant which has not been positively identified with complete certainty to be safe and edible. Before planting anything, research to determine whether specific flowers are considered invasive where you live or if there are laws that apply to their planting in your area.

What is "@freshcutky"?
@freshcutky documents the pursuit of my goal of one day owning my own cut flower farm. Along the way, you'll see random projects, cooking, and of course - growing stuff. I'm not an expert, and would never claim to be. There's always more to learn - this is my journey. The purpose of my blog, and other social media accounts (including UA-cam) is to share ideas. I do my best to offer information that is useful, but reliance on that information is strictly at your own risk and NOT a substitute for professional advice of any kind. I do not create sponsored content or use affiliate links unless they have been explicitly stated above.
“Bee butts” I see that all over Instagram. Bee butt photos are the best🐝
Having pollinators floating around the yard is a nice feeling... 💚💜🧡💛💙💚

I love that you have amazing flower B-roll! I feel like it's rather obvious, but a lot of garden UA-camrs just film themselves talking (makes no sense!). Show us the FLOWERS! Thank you for all the high quality videography
Thank you for your kind comment! 🌱🌱🌱
Yes! Cute bee footage 🐝
Drumstick Alliums! Must try that one. Santa’s list is getting longer & longer by the day! 📜 🎅🏻
The bees are so cute😮 🌻🐝
Hyssop, goldenrod, blazing star (liatris), Brazilian vervain (aka tall verbena), and any type of salvia are also huge pollinator favorites in our garden! We tried the Mexican torch sunflowers last year and while they became ginormous, they were a grand slam for bees and migrating monarchs.
If you haven’t tried them yet, these pink and red tubular flowers: pineapple sage, agastache, penstemon and and cardinal flower are all crack for hummingbirds, lol
Fellow Kentuckian here! I am a Lexington native but now live in just a few hours up the road in rural southwest Ohio. My husband and I are huge into gardening organically for pollinators. We grow tons of cutting flowers, fruits, veggies and herbs and started keeping honeybees last year. Our property has undergone a radical transformation since we moved in 3 years ago from a bland monoculture to a landscape bursting with blooms, birds and pollinators. It is so much hard work but being able to live this life and raise our preschool age daughter among the garden, to teach her things about the natural world and see her love for it is incredible.
Keep putting out these wonderful videos! Zinnias are my favorite cut flowers too. ;)
Pollinators here also LOVE grape hyacinths in the late spring.
The bees go absolutely crazy on my salvia and russian sage. Not just bumblebees but it brings in the honey bees too. By the way, if you are concerned about wasps, don't be. We have family members that are allergic but I still welcome them. They are amazing at eating all the harmful insects that normally would devour your flowers. Just keep a very close eye out to make sure they're not nesting in your yard. They tend to make nests in any ground hole they can find. Cover holes immediately because wasps are very territorial and can come after you if you're near their nest. If they're just visiting the flowers though, it's perfectly fine. They're too busy to bother with you.
Good advice 👍!
Beautiful footage! My young grandson loved it also.
Thanks for watching! :)
So so beautiful to see on a very cold and snowy February day! Thank you!
It's cold and snowy here, too. I'm so ready for spring!
Honestly, every time you make recommendations, my seed list grows. I thought I was done and then I had to go find celosia seeds after watching another recent video. Must gain control! Your flowers are so beautiful!!
I know that feeling! I'm always adding to my list, LOL! :)
I like your garden. From laura of garden answer to your garden. You had the same likings for flowers and flower arrangements. Thanks
What I like best about your videos that I have watched is you don’t have to have your face covering 97% of the screen telling us to look at the flower. Ofcourse I don’t mind seeing you lol but I’m saying I appreciate your editing. I hope this doesn’t read rude because I don’t mean to be :)
I very much like her style in this way too! ❤❤❤❤❤
Agree I really don't care what a gardener looks like, I just want to see the plants
So excited for my tithonia this year. Added bonus is the privacy screen, I didn't even think of that. Maybe I'll start more than I originally planned... ha
Lol! Thanks so much for watching!
OMG pollinators. LOVED this video. One of my favorites ❤
Lovely garden in bloom!
One likely reason the bees are so attracted to the alliums - they also use herbs and healing plants for their own medicine!!
So planting herbs in general can help our boost our pollinators' health - especially in Chemical free gardens! (Tip from An herb grower on Charles Dowling's no dig channel)
That was an amazing amount of bees on your flowers. The word must have gotten out on your amazing garden.
I've seen a huge increase in the number of pollinators &predator insects since I stopped spraying chemicals, & I only spray of I have a serious infestation. (Whixh is rare because some kind of predator usually comes along & tales care of them!)
I JUST LOVE that you've stopped spraying!!!
That's soooo important!
Another thing to try if you end up getting aphids every year is to plant "trap crops".
The aphids will stay on those plants you've designated to be eaten by the aphids, and stay away from the others.
A good one is Calendula.
Not only do the Aphids love it, but it also has nice flowers that make a great lotion!
When you stop spraying, and then also plan for an infestation by using trap crops, then you can eliminate poisons altogether!!
Plus, having aphids gathering on your calendula (or whichever plant you use) will attract the lady bugs!
I love that list of flowers 🌸
I just love watching your videos. I love how many pictures and video footage you include in them. I've been gardening since my early childhood, but just started selling bouquets last year. Your videos have helped me learn alot. I'm in zone 7b.
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Oh no!!! I didn't know celosia attracts wasps!! (tears up) I was sooo looking forward to having these on my patio. I actually bought seeds for that first variety you showed.. :( :( :(
And I just started my garden last year... I was doing something (maybe just watering) and something startled me.. It was a humming bird at the sunflowers!! It wasn't very close to me, but I hadn't seen any out there, so I thought a bee was by my ear or something because of how loud it was! hahaha
I can't wait to see echinacea blooming in my Wildflower garden!!
Really enjoyed your video! Thanks
Ahhhh you’ve got me so excited to see the bee balm I planted last year bloom this year!
The video I’ve been waiting for!!
Thanks so much for watching!
Meraviglioso video floreale di ogni genere e colore. Grazie amica!!
Watching this during the cold of February... 🧊🥶
Thanks for all the wonderful recommendations, you have a beautiful garden. Allium giganteum, catmint, and agastache are the favourites in my garden 🐝🌼
Another great video, love it when bees and butterflies and even the wasps are happy in the garden!
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you're having a great day! :) :)
I have started echinacea from seed i have 40 seedling but i Don t know, because i find different informations,Will they Bloom the First year starting from seed? I Hope so because i love them so much . It Is a plelasure to see all this beautifull flowers during this last days of Gray Winter days. Thank you for this video😊
Whenever I plant echinacea from seed, it very rarely blooms the first year. However, they grow very fast, so it's possible. I'd say that it probably depends on the weather and how early the seeds were started. Thanks so much for watching! :)
Shiny bee butts 🐝 🤣 I get loads of carpenter bees and will forever admire the shine of their behind!
Just saw you posted and liked before even watching LOL LOVE all your content.
Hooray! Thanks so much for the support! :)

What a GREAT quote!!
@@gardengatesopen Thanks, I have it on a little garden sign in my garden. :-)
@@cynthiabercaw3462 awww, that sounds SOOO Nice!! ❤
Loved this video!🥰.
That’s awesome that the pollen less sunflowers still attract pollinators!
I would love to see some hummingbirds too!!!
I always try to film the hummingbirds, but they're just so fast! LOL!
Sorry I'm so late 'coming to the party', ma'am, but you've just got yourself a new subscriber. 😉
I'm growing the first six. Great list. I have never seen the drum allium.
Thank you for another great video.
Thank you for watching! :)
I love the Tithonia growing up through the dahlias. I’ll be growing those together this year for sure.
The combination in the garden looks very pretty. Just make sure to put the tithonia in the back, because they can get extremely big. I learned that lesson the hard way this year!
I planted the native bee balm a couple of years ago and they came up in several places in my yard. The ones that came up in the shade had a problem with mildew. Luckily the are very easy to transplant! I also have Jacob Cline bee balm and it seems to be traveling too.
Finally found.. treasure. Thanks beautiful.
You were cracking me up in this video! Especially the Carpenter Bee comment 🤣😆 Also loved the beautiful borage in the beginning of the video.
Thanks for watching! :)
I just LOVE your photography!
So beautiful!!
Hollow stem flowers are great for native bees to nest in after they die. Everyone should leave some of these for the bees
I can see why they look at your yard going by, your flowers are amazing, might cause a accident one day😂 I can’t wait to try and grow some of these pollinators, I loved that Pom Pom looking one with the green and purple. Loved your vid and subscribed!
Aloha and God bless🤙🏽🍻
Love the video... Always interesting garden topics... Never eoungh of them... Enjoyed watching... Stay safe...
Thanks for watching! :)
wonderful information, thank you!
Hey there Kentucky!!! 👋👋👋
I wonder if each of us puts in 3 comments could we get to 101 comments?
Which would then get the attention of the algorithm?
Who would then distribute this video out there to the masses...
Which would then be ever so helpful to this fun channel!
Where else are we going to see such beautiful photographs of flowers, and all those Bees?!!
We could just toss in a Bee, or 2, or 3 of our own! 🐝
🐝
(like that)

That's all it takes to count as a comment...
🐝
(I just had to toss in one more!
😉😁👍 bcuz it's so easy!)
Ditto, me too. WKY here.
Cute video ❤️
Thanks for the videos just letting you know that MiGardiner seeds are $2 a pack now
Yes, I saw that it had increased this year. Seems like so many people are buying seeds. Thanks so much for watching! :) :)
Yes, I ordered some this year and noticed they are $2.
Good to know that even the pollenless sunflowers are attractive to bees. Do you ever grow other colors of echinacea? I'm trying a few different colors. Green twister is my favorite. I'm trying scabiosa for the first time this year. I got seeds in a swap so not sure what color they are. Borage and chives are my top pollinator attractors in my garden.
I've never tried any of the other echinacea colors, simply because I always feel so worried about using my growing space for perennials. There are some really, really pretty double varieties on my "wish list' though! LOL!
@@TONYAwiththeflowers Wait so the other colors aren't perennial? I thought they were. I guess I'll find out if they come up again this year. Last year was the first year I tried some new colors and thought all of them were perennial.
@@gapey I believe you're correct - they're all perennial. :) :)
Great info👍👍
Thank you gor video
Do you have any tips on soil for flowers? I have an L shaped bed in my front yard that I want to dedicate just for flowers. It already has a trumpet vine along the fence and a pink rose bush, but I want to try literally every flower you've mentioned (lol) but it's just loose dirt right now. I would want to dig it down and empty it a bit, but would a regular soil do? Thanks for the video, this is just what I needed since I'm in 8b and it's just about time to start gardening!
All of the flowers should do well in native soil, provided that it has been amended. Flowers like zinnias and echinacea seem to be especially adaptable. Good luck! :) :)
@@TONYAwiththeflowers Thanks! I grew zinnias in the tiniest container last year and they took over, grew out into other pots as well, so I want to grow dozens more this year. What would you recommend as far as amending?
Perennial plants work too) treepeonies, plox, any fruit trees and bushes.
Love all these flowers. How many flowers do you grow to have a season of cut flowers. I bought a batch of seeds hoping to have bouquets to give away, I'm now thinking they'll have to be small bouquets.
I grow a lot of different types, but they all bloom at different times. Sometimes, I might only have one or two varieties of plants actually flowering - but others in active stages of growth. You really can get a lot of flowers from a small space, but it seems that timing is really important. :)
@@TONYAwiththeflowers Gotcha, I started sowing in a south facing back bedroom, I'm now thinking I maybe didn't put enough soil in, some are looking leggy. Not sure if you mentioned that, Nicole at Flower Hill Farm or Laura at G.A.
What variety is the two-colored allium, please. Love your videos!
Drumstick alliums are the only ones that I grow. Thanks so much for watching!

Lavender
What zone are you growing in?
Thirty percent of our native bees pollinators can’t survive on nectar alone. Like monarchs need milkweed , these bees must have certain plant pollens to provision their larva to survive. Many are in the aster, family, so plant native sunflowers, goldenrods and asters.
Hi, what color Bee Balm is this?
👋
How do you keep black spot out of your zinnias?
I think my next scheduled video is about zinnias. I've heard that black spot can be seedborne, which helps to explain the reason that I can never seem to get rid of it - even after pulling and disposing of infected plants.
Did your coneflowers bloom the first year with the winter sowing method? I have a packet that I've been wanting to plant, but I'm not sure I want to devote prime space to them if they're not going to flower the first year.
Oh, never mind, just saw after I posted this that you already answered this question for someone else. :-)
Thanks for watching! :)
@@melissa012205 all the comments help the channel
A LOT!!!
Every time she gets over 100 comments, the algorithm feeds the video a little more into the main feed, so new people get to see it.
Even just one of these counts as a comment: 👋
Only 8 comments to go to get over 100!!
Hi,
What type of sunflowers do you grow? I want to plant the small cut flowers like yours.
I grow sunflower varieties from the 'ProCut' series. 'ProCut Brilliance' is one of my favorites. :)
