Thank you the hills are so beautiful. We are very lucky to have that view from the garden. I hope you get on well with your seed sowing and seedlings just now x
You make everything look so easy breezy! Makes me think I can grow a whole garden in my conservatory and shed this autumn…. Wish me luck off to get planting today. Xx UK / sept 2nd 2023
Thanks so much for watching 😊 I am glad you enjoyed it. I have had a fair few disasters over the years growing as well as the successes but that’s what I love about gardening, you are always learning something new! Good luck with your seed sowing now and hopefully you will get some fantastic flowers next May!
Thank you for watching 😊 It is an exciting time getting next years flowers started when things are just starting to slow down a touch in the flower patch outside. Good luck with yours.
Hi Catherine, great video as always. I am going to be fall sowing Sweet William, Dara, Orlaya and Nigella. I live in zone 6a in the US so I've learned these can be direct sown now to get them established before our first frost and should come up in the spring. Let's hope it works out! I noticed my green ammi seedlings from last fall did just fine outside and did well this summer, and we are in a colder zone than you are so you could try ammi outside too.
Thanks so much for watching this week 😊 That sounds great what you are going to be direct sowing now. That is interesting about the ammi. I might just try some outside and see if I can get it through. It would be fantastic if I could as overwintered ammi is by far and away better than later sowings.
Does anyone know if rudbeckia can be started from seeds at this time of year? So glad that I have found this channel with so much knowledge shared, subscribed but happy to think of all the videos made previously to watch when the weather doesn’t encourage us into the garden!
Hello, thanks so much for watching and subscribing. It’s great to have you following along and a really good question too. Yes you can sow rudbeckia now or in late winter. It likes a period of cold stratification to get the seeds germinating so the alternating temperatures with warm days and cool overnight suit the rudbeckia getting started at this time of year. For me it always takes rudbeckia a while to get established so sowing now helps bring them on faster next year with flowers.
Many thanks for the helpful responses. Delighted to report that having tried a small number of seeds (I can only accommodate a few plants safely through the winter and have trays of sweet peas growing like triffids at the moment 😂) I have 3 baby rudbeckia. Will leave the seeds undisturbed for a few days to see if any more pop up. Thanks again for the advice ❤
The sweet peas really get going until the cold weather comes and then they start to slow down putting in growth. Glad you have some baby rudbeckia seedlings! First frost with us today so winter feels like it is not far away!
Hello, thanks for watching. It shouldn’t be a problem as long as they don’t try to flower. If they are just putting on leafy growth and putting down roots that is fine. If you think they are starting to get buds and look like they might flower it might be worth starting some more seed again just now.
Hello, thanks for watching this week. To be honest all of them are susceptible to mice over the winter time. Mice can enter the greenhouse in colder weather and nibble on any seedlings in there and outside. The things that I find most susceptible are my anemone and ranunculus grown from corms or anything on the greenhouse floor, so I tend to have the seedlings on raised staging or in tables in the middle of the floor. They do climb so it’s not going to stop a hungry mouse but helps a little and so does covering with netting. I have seen some growers hanging crates from the greenhouse ceiling and popping their seedlings in there to protect from mice.
Yes all just now but some I will get outside in the beds and some I will overwinter inside the greenhouse. There are quite a few just now but not all will make it which is why I have sowed quite a few. Thanks for watching this week.
Yes, I’ve started cool flowers recently as well.
The background of your property and the surrounding hills is just stunning.

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Thank you! I am seeing lots of green in my soil blocks so that is promising.
That is promising, good luck

Thanks for sharing everything you are sowing right now. I have been starting to get some going which is so exciting. Thanks again ❤

Brilliant thank you 🙏🏻 🌸🥀💐 Catherine
Thanks for watching this week 😊 I am glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, thank you 😊🌸
Thank you 😊
I'm trying salvia and cornflowers this month and you've also inspired me to try some daucus ✨
That sounds great. I hope you get on well with overwintering them and get lots of great flowers next May.

They are a cool flower so yes, I’d start them before fall.

I started Mine too early i think.. could this cause any issues?

Are there any seedlings in the greenhouse or outside, that you really think should be protected from mice etc?

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm thanks! I lost a bit last winter, including all of my fritillaria 😡
Oh no I love fritillaria.
Did you sow all of these now?
Yes all just now but some I will get outside in the beds and some I will overwinter inside the greenhouse. There are quite a few just now but not all will make it which is why I have sowed quite a few. Thanks for watching this week.
@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm can we sow sunflowers now or is it best to wait?
