Loving these glasses. They make you look as though you are straight out of Booneville NY. 😅
😂 I also thought of Nicole!
Haha i know! I’ve had them for years and when i put them on i thought “I’m going to look like Nicole” 😂
I'm a northern gardener, but last yr right at peak ranunculus time, we had 3 days of 90F weather spiked right in the middle of Spring. Deciding I had nothing to lose, I put up some shade cloth over the ranunculus plantings and it worked! The plants continued to produce blooms for another month until the summer heat kicked in! Such an informative video - thank you!
yes thankfully they can deal with a couple days of heat. Our issue is the sustained week after week 80s that kill ours
I'm about 30 min in.
I noticed questions addressed about growing problems (bugs, leaf condition, etc).
Thru out the US there is a Master Gardener program (I'm from the Tulsa Master Gardener region). If anyone has a concern about a flower or plant that you need help with, those offices have a diagnostic center with microscopes and assistance available for that purpose: to identify what's causing leaf or flower decline.
Appreciate the video - thanks for posting. 🎉
50:00 Florist here 🙋♀️ I'm a big fan of Chrysal #2 in T-Bags! You pop one little pouch in your buckets anytime you change the water.
I'm not a flower farmer. I just enjoy your videos and learning about flowers. ❤
Thank you!
Your ranunculus look amazing.
6 inches apart is good.
Love from Germany.
Here the first ranunculus just start blooming, they were pre-sprouted. Our winters are cold. .
I sell them as slow flowers arranged in pots using varieties with short stems.
They look like a bouquet with 3 plants arranged in a pot. Slow flowers are in fashion here.
Yellowing leaves are generally caused by natural selection.
Nice job! So much great information. I especially love that you always encourage us to learn our own customers & our own climate specifics. Sorry about the buzzers....
Great job, Alex. Thank you!
It is alot of work to keep corms but I have never been disappointed when I do. I do not have a farm so it would mean you need to dedicate a space. Easier for sure to extinguish I'm sure. Thanks for taking tour time out to help.
I am also in 7A and planted in Feb and still don’t have flowers. Want to try a November planting this time around. Love your videos. So much good content.
Ranunculus have a 90-100 day growth cycle before blooming. Planting Feb. 1st won't get you blooms before May 1st.
You are correct about 6 Ranunculus time, I live in the PNW and I can't start ranunculus in the winter without a hoop house because we have so much rain. Regardless, early March is a good time for me without hoop house because we live in a cool climate. They thrive here as well as tulips, daffodils, peonies, and dahlias!
It's comical, and maybe ironic, that you're this amazingly successful flower farmer and have these kinds of reactions to bugs! 🤭
Thank you for being authentically you! 💜
Ha
Gorgeous flowers. 😂I planted my Ranunculus yesterday and will need to cover them a few nights.
Awesome video! So much great information! Thank you!!
Great video! On my way to harvest ranunculus right now 😊
Sunglasses are important, always wear them if you need to. Anyone who doesn't like it is a fool. Love those sunglasses by the way.
I presprout in the spring because they can stay in a non soaking wet "seed room" environment until the late winter downpours end. If I started them outside after the downpour weather, it would be too late. As soon as the weather accommodates, they are planted out in hopes for Mother's Day blooms. Here on Vancouver Island my daffodils are just starting to bloom.
Hey! I’m in cowichan and hoping after reading your comment that you can answer my question. My ranunculus are pre sprouted in my seeding area upstairs. Can I put them out now? There is a low of zero on maybe Tuesday I think, will that be too much? I guess hardening off is needed too so if I start today then can I put them out midweek this week even if there isn’t zero frost chance? Hopefully it’s okay to ask you, taking advantage of a ‘local’. Thank you!!
*My daffs are on the way out now, if that gives an idea of where I am in the spring season.
@@lookforward2life What a beautiful place to live! I'm in Campbell River. The first ranuncs I presprouted where Feb. 1st and they have been outside since mid March, mainly due to the aweful weather we all had in the first half of March. Normally I plant them out at the beginning of March. Ranuncs are perfectly fine at 0 celsius - BUT - it will stress them a bit, which will in turn slow them down. You are missing the mother's day window of blooms so that might not matter. With our not hot June's you should get blooms until the end of June if not into July, depending on the year. At 90 - 100 days from planting to blooming that will still give you a few weeks of blooms.
If they have just started putting on green in the past week or so, you should be good to plant them out without hardening off as a newly sprouted plant is equipped for the sun's uv rays, which if you google it, Canada is ranked lowish on the list of countries with high to low uv index. Australia is ranked the highest.
If you want to plant them out now, you can always cover them with old bed sheets on any nights that are 0 or lower, just try to keep the sheets from touching the plants, but if you plant them now, and plant them at a depth of 3", the leaves probably won't be above the soil surface anyway. The reason you plant ranuncs at 3 or 4" deep is to stop the soil around the roots from reaching 25c as long as possible because that is the key temp that will cause the ranuncs to go dormant for the season.
Hope that helped.
@@lookforward2life Cowachin is a bit warmer in the spring than Campbell River as we are on the ocean, and, of course, just slightly north. On the other hand, we have a slightly cooler summer, and a warmer winter and a much longer frost free season of 6+ months.
@@EvelynM-vlogs thank you so much!!! I’ll just put them in the ground today. We are right beside the river and so that keeps the temps a little bit warmer too, the fog or mist or whatever it is. Thanks again for all the info and the time you took to help me! i know Campbell river decently well, I lived there for a year myself. I hope you are having a good spring ♥️
My ranunculus are just sitting there in my garden doing nothing. Still hopeful for beautiful flowers eventually. I love looking at all of your beauty's there
I read through all of the comments and these people are hilarious.
I believe presprouting corms in spring is for the folks in colder climates, not warmer climates that can plant in fall and overwinter. It gives colder zones a head start if they pre sprout indoors in early spring
Great content! Thank you so much.
Thank you! Love your channel!
If they are super big bubble bees, they are likely carpenter bees. Took me years to get used to them, but they really don’t bother anyone or anything, they are mating. And it looks like a miniature dog fight.
I’m a northern grower so I’m surprised to hear they have to be dug up and replanted in the south. Have to presprout in Spring in my zone! Thanks for sharing all the info!
In some places you could likely overwinter and they would come back but many people need to use that space for summer flowers so they want to fully flip the bed
Really helpful, thank you!
Watering before a freeze night is recommended to keep from freezing.
#2 & im here for it ❤
Transportation is what occurs. Correct me if I'm wrong.
First! Can’t wait for this video
Came for the ranunculus shop talk, stayed for the bug reactions. 😂👌🏻
Ha
Hi, thank you for the great info on the video.
Since you don’t save corms, may I ask what do you do with them?
Thank you.
Compost
Great video!
So we need to order now even if we won't be planting until next spring?
Yes you do
Oh wow! Now I'm stressed😅
Daniel from Petal Pickers just had a recent video on his IG about when to harvest, and it should be on the more open than marshmallow stage. I'm not sure who he was with in his video
Different advice 🤷🏼♀️
If you aren't going to 'save' the corms, why not just pull up the entire plant corm and all instead of cutting the plants and then having to dig up or pull corms? Seems like it would be faster that way. My ranunculus are about 2 inches high right now (yes I'm in one of those cold places).
The ranunculus look beautiful-especially the pinks.
Eric did not, in fact, edit that out. 🤣♥️
Lol
Hey lovely lady. How big is your hoop house please
What size ranunculus do you order?? 4/5 or 5/7?
Both
Can you list your wholesalers. I'm not sure how you spell the second wholesaler you mentioned.
Leo Berbee, Onings Holland, and Ball Seed
Do you have to dig up the corms once they're done producing?
No
Depending on your region, you may need to dig up for the over wintering. Warner climates don't need to, but then there are diseases and issues some have to contend with.
Your local gardeners will know what works best for your area ♡
For a long time in your video, i was looking at your wheelbarrow thinking it was a kind of military boat 😂😂😂😂 sorry, ill start the video over and listen to what you say 😅😅
Hahaha
Did you plant them just below the surface
If you live in a hot climate, plant 4" deep, if not plant 3" deep. This is because Ranuncs stop blooming at 25deg celsius or 77deg fahrenheit and the roots take longer to get to that temperature if not planted at the soil surface.
