Just a home gardener here, but I use old, spent potting soil on my direct seed flower bed every year. Keeping the leaves off is quite a job, I may try to put up a barrier this year because inevitably the wind whips them in every fall.
Love the potting soil tip - thanks so much for sharing! Yes, leaves are such a problem for me, as well 🍁😩🍂 Let me know if you have any luck with your barrier! Thanks again for sharing and for watching 🥰 Have a wonderful day!
Perfect timing! Thank you so much. I’m sowing seeds this week in my zone 7A garden New Jersey. First year gardener. After this episode I feel better prepared 😀
Yay - how exciting! You will be so happy you fall-planted some things when spring rolls around ☺ Best of luck with your beautiful garden, and please let me know if there are any topics you would like us to cover on a future episode! Thanks so much for watching, and have a lovely day 💚🤗💚
Working on cool flowers now... loved this episode. Thanks a million 💚🌺.
You are so welcome - thanks so much for the positive feedback! 🤗 Wishing you a beautiful spring garden full of flowers 🥰 If there are any topics you would like to hear discussed on a future episode, please feel free to let me know. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a comment, and have a wonderful day! 💚☺💚
So awesome- thanks for this video Lisa and layne! Fredericksburg Virginia here…direct seeded yesterday! I watched all your other cool flower videos. Thanks ladies! 👏🏼
Woo hoo - hope you will be seeing lots of sprouts in your direct-seeded beds soon! Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching 🤗 Have a lovely day! 💚
Just really love all your helpful tips and explanations!!❤❤
Oh, thanks so much! 🤗 If there are any particular topics you would like us to cover in a future episode, please feel free to let me know. Thanks again for the positive feedback and for watching! Have a wonderful day 💚🥰💚
Thanks Ladies, it is early Spring here in Oz 🇦🇺 and I am eagerly (aka impatiently) waiting for my Autumn-sown seeds to mature and grow. (I'm trying to ignore the weeds. 😊) Thanks for the tip about hand-marking for the home gardener and the stepping stone tip.
Oooo - how exciting! Spring is even better when you have fall-planted cool flowers (like yours!) that are ready to hit the ground running 🥰 Best of luck with your beautiful garden - wishing you lots and lots of blooms! Thanks so much for watching, and have a fantastic day 🤗
Thanks so much for this podcast! Timely for sure! 🌻
So happy to hear this was a timely episode for you! Wishing you lots of direct-seeding success 😊 Thanks so much for watching, and have a fantastic day 🤗
Great reminders! Thanks for all you do!🌻
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching 🤗 Have a wonderful day! 💚
Potting soil tip!! Thank you!!!
Yes, that is such a good tip! Thanks so much for watching, and have a great day 🤗
I'm having trouble understanding why they don't consider cool flowers Tender perennials.. 🤔 Just like there are some perennials that are only hardy to zone 6 or 7 or even 8- why aren't the cool flowers just considered perennials?
Hello! Some cool flowers are technically perennials (yarrow, for example), but the majority truly are annuals that complete their life cycle in one growing season. Once those annual plants bloom and set seed, they will die, whereas perennial plants will come back year after year (although some are shorter-lived than others). Thanks so much for this great question, and hope this helps! Have a fantastic day 💚🤗💚
This video came at perfect timing! I just finished sowing about 1500 larkspur seeds and then today got an inch of rain! I'm so worried they may have all washed away. Do you suggest hurrying and reseeding? I'm cutting it so close to being too late to sow. 😅
Hello! Did you happen to plant in troughs? I have found that the seeds are less likely to be washed away when planted using that method. Larkspur seeds should be covered with soil, so at least you have that in your favor! 😎 I cannot say whether or not you should re-sow, but if you have extra room and do not mind potentially having a double dose of larkspur, go for it 😂 Best of luck, and please let me know how it all works out for you! Thanks so much for watching, and have a lovely day 💚🤗💚
🙂

I see you make small trenches and don’t use bio 360 on some cool flower beds. What beds do you use 360 on?
I'm not Lisa (just a big fan and learner) but I think I see her using Bio360 on beds that she plants her soil blocked seedlings into. That way those "bio360" beds don't require hoeing or weeding because the film is doing the weed prevention for her.
Hello! Lisa typically uses the Bio360 biodegradable mulch on beds of transplants (not on direct-seeded beds). The trenches are used when direct seeding. Thanks so much for watching, and hope that helps! 🤗
@@3kidmama Exactly! Thanks so much for jumping in with this helpful response 🤗
