    I love your videos! I have learned so much about how to collect and sow seeds from you. My husband says I'm virtual gardening, but I tell him I'm learning!! My goal this year is to only go to the nursery to look! I have successfully collected impatients, wave petunias, coleus, and begonias from my plants from last year, and my germination rate has been so good that I have enough plants for my family and neighbors! I did purchase a few other seeds that I did not have but next year I will have seeds from my new plants to sow. You are definitely my go to person for seed collecting! I also use your suggestion of keeping a list on the Google Sheets which is perfect to organize and add notes for next year. I have even started mixing my own potting mix from your videos. Thank you for sharing all your information! It's much appreciated!!

      Hi Lisa. Thank you so much for your kind words. It makes me so happy that my videos inspire you. After college, I was very frugal-minded and after having 2 kids, I really learned how to save money where I could. Gardening is therapy for my body, mind & soul, but it doesn't have to be an expensive hobby! I'm sure your garden will look beautiful this year with all that you are growing. Happy gardening, friend! 😊♥

    I am not even all the way through your video and have already found it so informative. This is my first time starting lavender from seed and you have answered most, if not all of my questions. Prior to viewing your video, I did stratify my seeds for much longer than you did but I'm not really sure that matters. Many others say 4-6 weeks of stratification. This process is supposed to replicate winter which is several months anyway. My questions began once I was germinating my seeds. I did as you did and was worried about how long my germinated seeds were taking to grow. I actually brought them with me to and from work so I could keep an eye on them. I now know that what I've done should be successful and I will return to view your video time and time again. Thank you! Kathy

    English Lavender when from a reputable supplier that has fresh seeds don’t need stratification nor light. They will germinate without either at a great rate. They do love the heat though so a germination heat mat is great. Yours will grow faster if you continue to use a heat mat through out their growth before you transplant. They like 80-85

    I’ve sown Lavender indoors from seed, I got some decent results. I live in Alberta, Canada, zone 3b so it is more of an annual here, it’s much more cost effective to grow from seed.

      Hi Alli! Which kind of lavender have you grown from seed? I believe if you plant out Munstead lavender in the early spring and give it the right kind of sandy soil, plant it in full sun and one inch above soil level, it may just overwinter for you. It's worth giving it a try for your zone 3b garden. I agree with you that growing lavender from seed is cost effective. It's such a pretty plant and I think every garden deserves to have at least one! 💞😊🪻

    I'm a first time gardener and I'm trying the winter sow method - although it is known not to grow well in my area. I THINK I see a little green poking through the soil. I just read from a regional FB group that my area will have a better chance with Spanish Lavender (I have English)- but still would be a long shot. If I'm not successful this year, I may try the Spanish Lavender next year.

I'm also glad to know of the color difference as I've also winter-sowed directly in the garden the English lavender. Had a tough time with the i.d of the plant, but think I found it now.

    Hi, similarly to my delphinium seeds, I did the moist towel method in the fridge for 4 weeks. None of them germinated in the towel but I sowed them in a jiffy starter kit. After a week, I do have have of the cells germinated with at least 1 sprout even though I put 3-4 seeds per cells. So not as high a rate compared to my delphiniums, but maybe they will continue to sprout over the coming weeks. When should I remove the humidity dome for lavender?

    First time with Lavender this year. I hope the seeds aren't as difficult as dichondra (silver falls). Those are incredibly difficult to germinate. I tried over a hundred harvested from prior season so they were fresh and only 3 germinated. I recycled the soil and they finally germinated many months later in other plant pots. Very very unpredictable plants and they grow ultra slowly to boot. I even tried with a heated mat and still nada until months later.

Don't get me wrong there gardens,mini farms 😅😅are absolutely stunning..But I can imagine the cost as well even though many of them have money saving suggestions it would still be out of my budget to do..
    When I say I do my garden on a budget I really do mean that..All the pots I have got I have collected from people throwing them out..yes I bought a few cheap seeds & cheap soil,but I collect seeds now..I'm making my own compost,my fiance made me a big raised bed from wood we had collected..The main thing I have paid out for is blood fish & bone & chicken pellets..
    But now I would like to either make my own rooting hormone or buy a decent one for now as I want to grow root a beautiful red maple tree..I know you can do the cutting different ways air layer graft & that,which I want to learn,but I have got the cutting now,I get to excited😅😅..

      This comment just made my entire day! Thank you so much! I truly do love sharing videos on how to garden on a budget because a lot of what I do is on a budget. Gardening is a hobby but it doesn't have to be an expensive hobby. There are so many ways to save money while gardening. Speaking of which, I haven't done it myself, but I've heard that if you had a willow tree, you could make your own rooting hormone with it. Please look into that. Maybe you can find a cheap willow tree on Facebook Marketplace. Or better yet, see if you can find someone that has a willow tree and take cuttings of it and root them in water. They root super easily in water! Good luck, my friend. Gardening is truly therapy for the soul! 💞😊
