Thank you for always explaining the steps in you process. Helps us new gardeners a lot! 😊
You are so welcome!
I swear I try to follow you with planting seeds, but I can’t keep up. Lol. Thanks for the inspiration.
You can do it!
Zone 7B, N MS. My silver falls dichondra reseeds every year in between brick pavers off my back porch. It makes a beautiful groundcover with containers nestled in. And you can also harvest seeds from your coleus. I have used so many varieties in so many places over so many years that I now have reseeded coleus in some areas. I have one that is not like any of the original coleus but it is beautiful, so now I have my own coleus variety that I will save cuttings from year to year! I sowed some Watermelon Coleus seeds this spring that I harvested in 2020 and had good germination, with about 90% being true to the parent plant. In a couple of weeks, I will sow some Aztec and Persian Carpet zinnia seeds into trays, as well as some Rubinato, Rubenza and Double Click Cranberry cosmos. The zinnia flowers are small but beautiful fall colors, and the cosmos are beautiful deep burgundy. I leave my seed trays outside at this time of year and get very fast results. I don't put them in direct sun but in a shady protected area with good light. Of course, they have all the heat they need! I usually get germination within a couple of days. I have also begun taking coleus cuttings that I stick into pots of dirt that I leave in pretty deep shade, and they root in fast. I use the new plants when I remove annuals that are fizzled out by mid-August. Coleus are so versatile with light conditions that they work in almost any space.
That’s awesome that you have your own variety now! I can’t wait to get my profusion zinnias started!
Wow, those dicondra look really cool. I can't wait to see how they do. ⚾️
I’ll be sure to update!
I grew coleus seeds also this passed season. They grew so beautiful and if needed I willl grow from seed again.
Awesome!
Morning to you😊 Have a great day!
Good morning! You too!
Good morning pretty selections 🎉
Good morning! Thank you!
I have wanted to add the dichondra to my garden but I have never found it around here. I never thought about starting it from seed so I think I'll try that too :)
Yay!
Hi! Very exciting. I am going to look through my seeds and see what I can start alongside you. Also didn’t know diacondra comes in green. Beautiful. Will have to get some for ground cover
Wonderful!
Absolutely fascinating to see how all the seeds turn into beautiful plants. I think I am getting the itch to try the process. ☺️ Your instructions are so helpful. Thank you for sharing.
You can do it!
im 16 and just got into gardening recently but your videos help a lot with my seed starting! im ordering more coleus (kong rose + fairway rose + fairway mosaic) to hopefully plant outside ! (eventually lolol) along with babys breath and dianthus!
it REALLY helps to have your update videos to track my own progress!!
Awesome! So happy you are enjoying g the process and that the videos are helping you out.
Need to start my seeds.😊❤
You should!
I still need to plant out zinnias and gomphrena that I started two months ago. It’s abominably hot and dry in Atlanta. No seed starting for me at the moment.
So hot!
😊

How many seed mats do you have? Starting seeds is like little surprises popping out.
I have four … that seems to be enough for my level of production … sometimes I wish I had just one more but haven’t made the move to buy another oneZ
How long do you let your new seed trays soak up the water before dumping out any excess?
I’m bad in that I leave the water in the trays 😬 … I check on my seeds every day and rarely see an issue with this … now, I don’t leave massive amounts of water but typically a half inch or less.
I guess you’re not doing the zinnias seeds you bought and said you’re getting started early for a fall planting?
I am, they are next on the list along with purple millet.
How often do you rewater?
I check them pretty much every day to see if the soil is still moist … if it feels anything less than very moist, I add water.
