Here I am, a 75-year-old gardener but always with vegies and fruits. I'm venturing into the world of flowers this year. Thanks for your videos! They inspire me!

I did that to begin with, and I'm not the kind of person who ever "wanted" a bouquet of flowers etc, at first I just grew calendula and marigold for companion planting/helping keep pests away. Then I grew some dahlias my neighbour gave me. Gamechanger! I grow ALL sorts, but I prioritize growing pollinator flowers that bring the bees, bumbles, monarch butterflies etc, and my yard is SO different. (Grow a swan plant, even as an adult, watching the monarchs come in, their babies crawling around munching until they sit in their chrysalis is still just as amazing!) But I love hearing this! The flower world is your oyster (Zinnias are beautiful and last all season, and look at varieties like Candy Cane!) I wish you and your garden and flower venture all the best! 🌻🪷

@@tashmartin8869 Ha! This is exactly what happened to me. I started with marigolds, calendula and wild flowers and then picked up some dahlia tubers at a seed swap last year and now this year's garden plans include many more flowers.

Love your videos. Always so much information and well presented. For some unknown reason, I’ve never grown zinnias, although I have bought seeds. This year, for my birthday, my daughter sent some Floret Zinnia seeds so this was really timely for me. (How did she know that I’m very intrigued with Floret Flowers?). Can’t wait to plant them. But I will!

@kayerhoads3444 3 ай бұрын

I had saved seeds from zinnias years ago. My grandson planted all i had saved in a small section of garden. Sowed very thickly. The little guy forgot to check his flower garden, but this was the best zinnias we have ever grown.

I’m glad that when I started flower gardening that I really knew nothing.😂 I direct sowed, had crappy soil, didn’t fertilize and would forget to water. I have amazing zinnias every year and constantly get compliments on them. Your info is spot on! I encourage anyone starting to grow flowers to start with zinnias, they just keep in giving. Again, excellent video!

Oh you little sweetness, I love your drawings! As a 64 year old my memory isn't as good as it used to be so watching you draw something really makes it stick in my mind so thank you! I also have a sketch(much like your drawing) that I made of your 4x8 garden because I knew I was moving and am doing it this year. I also have Zinnia seeds that I want to try, the Queenie ones and another one that I can't think of. I saw that you still have a little snow, here in Maine I do too! Thank you for all your help, I love your videos and look forward to them. Have a wonderful, blessed evening.

I bought almost the entire Queen Lime series (I don’t love orange either), Floret’s Victorian Wedding, Senorita and Macarena. I have a 4’ x 60’ planting area along a fence by my new orchard that I envision as a rainbow zinnia hedge. 😊

Great video. I’ve been growing zinnias for over 50 years and even I learned something new from your video. I never heard of the shake test before cutting flowers. It really makes sense. I always plant the California Giants variety. They do really well for me in zone 9b. I plant them right in front of my sweet peas which are done blooming by the end of June due to our heat. This way the zinnias hide the brown vines & leaves of the sweet peas as they die back. Happy planting!

@Barbelle1201 3 ай бұрын

This is one of the best and most informative gardening videos I've watched. Succinct, clearly stated, and full of great information - a lot of which, in my 50+ years of gardening, including Zinnias - I wasn't aware of. Not once did I feel "let me out of here; this is repetitious," as I often do. Great job. For the first time, I'll be subscribing because I don't want to miss one of your videos.

I'm a 65 yr old florist and horticulturist and you don't need to plant twice if you cut them off in August. I use a hedge trimmer and cut off a foot of the tops and they last till November l good luck!!!

I have found this to all be true of zinnias…they do like poor, warm soil, and they love to be direct sown. My transplants do tend to be not quite as strong as direct sown, but to get ahead I do love to transplant them. I like to transplant and sow on the same day when soil is at least 60 degrees, and I have some built in succession sowing. 💚💚💚

I tried zinnias for the first time this year! We had a terrible summer with way too much rain, not enough sunlight, and yet my zinnias did well and are only now starting to die back (I'm in NZ so we're into autumn now). I had a lot of issues at the start, which pretty much followed along with all your tips :) I started indoors with no luck. Eventually gave up trying that and just dumped some seeds in the garden (late spring by then, maybe early summer). I think it was around Christmas when they finally took, but that batch did so well!
