Great information. Thank you always for sharing your experience with us. I direct sowed Zinnias and they did great. Giving me pretty blooms to cut and arrange. I added Spirea to the arrangement. 🤗
Hi Amanda, For those of us living in the middle of the DFW metroplex or the west side I have managed to find Berger BM 7 at The Flower Ranch in Keller. That is a interesting garden center. "Why juggle carts and baskets when you can strut around with your very own personal plant concierge?" Would be a fun garden tour with you if they let you film. 😁
Amanda, if you haven’t tried fried eggplant you need to try it. Peel and dice into 1/2” dice. Salt and pepper, add cornmeal with a little flour and toss it around to coat. Fry it up until nice and golden brown or how ever you like your food. Soft or crunchy. You can do tomatoes, zucchini or squash the same way. Our bunch eats it like it were popcorn.
@@juneramirez8580 fried green tomatoes? You’ve never watched the movie? 😂 Yes, you can fry eggplant, okra, zucchini, squash, green tomato, jalapeno peppers. All but the jalapeno would use cornmeal. Fry the jalapeno like you would battered shrimp with cornstarch. Dipped in Ranch dressing is delicious!
@@tinaslouisianakitchen8963 no ai never watched that movie! There are a lot of movies I have not seen! Lol. Thank you for giving me a much needed cooking lesson! I appreciate it!😊
I have zinnia seedlings popping up all over the garden, some in strange little places LOL I'm letting them grow, hoping to get blooms from them before the first frost :D
Thise eggplant are gorgeous! I will have to look for them! I've had ranunculus issues in early spring too. I dont keep th all together though...they are sprinkled around. So not sure how id protect them in a freeze. So maybe i will just give up on them.
I've started ranuncculus corms in January or February and have had the same experience of the heat getting to them after only a few weeks of bloom. I'm in 7b Md/DC but am going to try fall planting this year. I have a raised bed in a sheltered area and plan to cover them. Our winters are usually mild but we do get freezes and thaws. It may not work in my area but I won't know if I don't try.
So I live in 8b in SC and would love to plant ranunculuses but would like to have flowers available in May for my daughters wedding (don’t worry I’ll have a backup plan), when should I sprout them and when should I plant them outside. I will have a catapillar tunnel and frost cloth. Should I do it in stages to make sure I have some flowers ready in May? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
It’s tough to understand someone else’s garden and environment … so many factors can change timing especially if you are aiming for blooms on a specific date. My ranunculus were finished blooming by May because we got a heat wave.
Since they are under the soil, they are getting the darkness they need … once the green shoots begin to break the surface of the soil, you can put them under lights.
My zinnia seedlings get powerdery mildew in weeks of planting. What can I do proactively? Because the battle lost as soon as the first Eag shows disease.
Try treating them for powdery mildew as soon as you plant them instead of waiting for it to show up. Also make sure they are getting full sun with plenty of air circulation.
Love zinnias, they’re going to fill your bed up beautifully. Look at that harvest. Good luck with your ranunculus.
I can’t wait!
Amanda, thanks for the ranunculus planting reminder
You are so welcome!
Trying ranunculus. I feel more confident after your tutorial and tips. Thanks
Wonderful!
Love your videos, always so helpful!
I'm so glad!
Hi there!! We've finally had rain the past few days (almost 5"!) after a pretty major drought. Finally temps in the 70's!!
That is awesome!
I have so many zinnias growing all over my garden. I just take the spent flowers and throw the seeds in the ground and they grow like crazy.
Awesome!
I direct sowed zinnias and they did amazing!
Awesome!

Omg thank you! I'm in that area!

I didn't think you could fry up tomatoes! I am a horrible cook😢😢😢

Yummy!
🫶🏻 roasted veg soup sounds delish
It’s yummy!
Thanks for taking us along! I’m enjoying learning about gardening in TX. How many hours of sun do your zinnias get in that bed?
Full sun all day so minimum 8 hours but mine get closer to 10.

It’s always hilarious to me where some seedlings pop up!

Amanda did you remove last years corms after they finished blooming or wait for die back?😊
I removed them once they died back.
Thise eggplant are gorgeous! I will have to look for them! I've had ranunculus issues in early spring too. I dont keep th all together though...they are sprinkled around. So not sure how id protect them in a freeze. So maybe i will just give up on them.
Yeah it would be hard if they weren’t all in the same place.
Fun
Thanks!

Do you need put the Ranunculus corms in a dark place like you do for a early spring planting? Or is a fairly sunny room okay?
Since they are under the soil, they are getting the darkness they need … once the green shoots begin to break the surface of the soil, you can put them under lights.
I live in Wisconsin 5b. I planted my second round of zinnias 2 weeks ago. I was wondering if they will have enough sun by the time they bloom?
Maybe … they like warm weather. Be sure to check the seed package to see how many days they are from seed to bloom.
Spray with water to just dampen when dries out?
Yep I just check them and if they feel a little dry then I spray them.
Are they exposed to light, grow lights, or kept in darker area?
They are under the soil so they are in the dark.

Totally cover or leave open to air?
I cover mine and then leave the lid slightly askew for some air flow.
