My dad was an avid zinnia, aster, mum, cosmos and marigold grower in his organic veggie garden, and when he died in August in New Jersey 1985, I did the flowers for his funeral home showing from his garden. Baskets of zinnias and marigolds, it was so touching to everyone that his own flowers were with him, keeping him company in the funeral chapel ... makes me tear up.just telling y'all. Yikes most of the seeds are unavailable, sold out or discontinued!!😥

Hi, Laura: I love these types of videos because it helps me plan for spring. One of the challenges I have is fitting everything into my garden that I want to try. Have you ever thought of showing how a small area of a flower garden can be utilized to its fullest, from early spring until fall using seeds, perennials and plants? I would sure help us gardeners get some ideas on how to try out different flowers for an entire season when there is limited space. Thank you!

My sister won’t be able to start their little plot until January (Southern California, very warm in winter), so I got a small greenhouse and started some seeds so she can have an early start. By the time they go on vacation in May, they can take bouquets of flowers to their mothers. Already gave her some Espoma Starter Fertilizer!😆

Such a good list! This year with the budget being tight I decided to gift my family (who are spread across the country) with flower seeds. I researched (googled) their growing zones and selected appropriate varieties. Additionally I added a note with tips (mostly from GA) and the reasons I chose that flower for them. The color was one of their favorites or drought resistance, sometimes it was planting space or sun exposure. My brother in AZ got Mexican sunflower seeds. The seeds and note were slipped into this year’s Christmas card. They were all so excited and 2022 we will be sharing our gardens together.

Calendula are an anti-inflammatory. Also you can feed a few blooms to you chickens, this will make the egg yolks deeper in color. Thanks for your videos. You always make day.

I’m learning so much from you! We recently moved to the lake and, having recently retired also, I’m finding time to garden…YEA! I haven’t done much through the years and living in the Ozarks by the forest, I’m dodging deer and wildlife! However, it’s all good and will be a fun adventure to discover what I can produce! Thanks so much!

So thankful for you and what you do, lady! Look how much you crammed into one video. Worth every minute. Thank you! What an inspiration. I’m a former Oregonian (salem) never gardened. Now a north Texan (zone 8a) and 2nd year gardener. There is so much to try!! Eeeeee!! Cheers and blessings on your awesome work!

Okay, now I am excited about seeding these plants! Thank you so much for reinvigorating my gardeners gene! I have been a gardener for many years but have moved so much and lived over seas for years and did not have time to work in the yard, except to weed it when I was home. I appreciate so much the details and encouragement you give all of us and also the challenge for us to do something different with each new planting and even how to use our time wiser with zoning for maintenance. Thank you again and have a blessed Christmas.

When I had my garden, it was the 15th May that I was counting down to, and then the seed sowing frenzy began 😊 such fun watching them grow and bloom. Sweet peas were my favorites, seeing as for those, I didnt have to wait 👍🏼

Great info. I live in a zone 5/6 in New England. TOTALLY different environment than you. Wet, rainy spring. No New Englander worth their weight would plant an annual outside (except veggies) before Memorial day. Nice to know some flower seeds can go in early too. BTW I put sweet peas in my garden once to grow over an arbor. It was so invasive. I pulled it for years. Don't know what variety it was but it definitely self sowed.

I was just thinking of you as I premoistened my seed starting mix for indoor grow light starts I never thought I'd ever attempt. I have learned SO much from you, as have my mom and sister, and I have come to rely on your steady warm presence and comforting "hey guys!" as I have become immersed in my garden to get through the many monumental challenges of the pandemic. It occurred to me that you are a masterful teacher of millions of people. As an educator that blew my mind a little. You inspire and enable us to be connected to the land and our food, as well as joy in everyday things. I feel genuine heartfelt gratitude for you and your sweet family. Thank you.

Loved this video. Thank you. I’m all time favorite seed flowers is morning glory. They are so great at hiding unsightly things in my yard such as my gas meter on the side of my house. I train them up the trellis and the fill out perfectly with a lot of different colors. Thanks again for all your great videos.

Looking forward to spending many hours thumbing through the pages and daydreaming about warmer spring weather. Thank you for your suggestions.

Xanthos and apricot lemonade were my favorite cosmos this year but check out Rubenza as well. Pro cut sunflowers white nite and white lite go with everything. I grew Tithonia for the first time and underestimated the final size it would be. There is also a yellow with green center. Flowers are great to grow in a garden landscape, for cut flowers and also added to a veggie garden to bring in pollinators!

Laura, a great video just took the guess work out of my spring seed order. Trying to work within snow bird months in FL and then start planting in MN in May. Since I can't transport seedlings from FL due to car space my new go to is direct sow my cut flower garden. Very happy to have this list. 🌻🌼 Thank you

Great list of easy plants! I would also recommend poppies. Super easy to plant, can grow in crummy and dry soil, pretty flowers. Disadvantage is they tend to re-seed themselves aggressively if you let them form a seed pod. That being said, it super fun (and easy) to collect the seeds from the pods^^
