I purchased Lisa's book after watching one of your videos. I've also joined the Growing Kindness movement as a contributor after learning about it on your channel. AND I'm growing cut flowers for the first time because of you! You're so motivating and encouraging. I'm learning so much from you. Love, love, love your channel. Hugs from Chicago-area (z5b)

Thank you for letting us know the spacing for cut flowers while you’re planting! This is so helpful! I’m taking notes!!

Thanks Danielle! Because of you and LM Ziegler, I have the courage to start/plant cool flowers ☺️💚👩🏼‍🌾

You are so informative, helpful and sweet!!! I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Hi so nice to see life in the garden. The book recommendations are always welcome in my 3b garden. Not much growing time but I look for every opportunity to extend the season. I enjoy everything about your content and attitude - thank you. Lisa

So thankful for your recommendation of Cool Flowers! It has been such an exciting addition to my gardening plan for this upcoming season. I would love to see a video of when you re-locate the direct sown hardy annuals in your landscape. I am super curious to hear your thoughts on which to move and why. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and beautiful garden with us!

I noticed there were commercials in the middle of the video- congratulations on getting monetized! 🤗🤗 and of course thank you for the lovely content 💚💚 always helpful and fun to watch! I’m starting delphiniums this year for the first time and I’m excited to see how they do.

The new front area with the swing looks great. I recently bought that book and will for the first time this fall give cool flowers a go.

I really love your videos. They are so relaxing and at the same time, inspiring! Thank you so much!

This was so helpful! I have have been so confused about when to plant out half-hardy flowers, like my snaps. Half hardy implies you don't have to wait until last frost, but many of my half hardy seed packets say to plant out after danger of frost has passed. You're giving me faith to try planting out soon. I'm zone 6b as well and we're already having a very nice spring.

Thanks for guidance and now I feel ready to plant my cold hardy annuals! I've never done this before and it feels like jumping into a pool...leap of faith! My garden club had a guest speaker and author last night. She talked about your special place..Longwood Gardens!

Super nice to see people starting work in the garden, it’s finally spring! I followed your snapdragon growing video and sowed my seeds last month (Central Europe, zone 8). Looking forward to the flowers. Thank you very much!

Thank you! I have been reading Cool Flowers, because of your previous video. I am learning so much. Your videos are so helpful and inspiring! I am so excited to try growing cool hardy flowers for spring.

This is by far the most informative and helpful video I’ve seen out of more videos than I even want to admit I watched. Thank you for this!!

Lovely video the birds were just a delight playing in the bird bath 🥰 Brilliant and informative video Thank You Danielle and a big Happy Birthday 🎂 for your daughter 🪴🌺🪴

Just watched your video again. And it gave me courage for year two planting out in very early spring. Thank you for all of the helpful info. Fall planted for the first time. most things did well. The ones that haven't, I think were because I planted them too late and they didn't have time to really get established. Live and learn.

Thank you for sharing so much detailed information!💕

And I love the birds in the middle of the video!

Thank you for the great info!! I absolutely love the book, “Cool Flowers!” I just received mine a few weeks ago!! Wishing your daughter a very happy Birthday filled with lots of love, laughter, and fun!!🥳🎂🎉🌻🌻❣️❣️

Happy Birthday to your daughter 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. Seeing you digging in the dirt I can’t wait to get my hands 🙌 in the dirt too♥️♥️♥️♥️ I love seeing the birds taking a bath 🛁 in your birdbath have a wonderful day 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I love how you have a ‘real’ imperfectly perfect garden. Maybe it’s selfish but it makes me feel better about my gardening. It’s gorgeous. Also loving that your the same zone as me. Really enjoying your channel.

Love seeing the growing process and your very calm and relaxing explanations of them! Thank you once again for sharing :)

Thank you so much for the information ❤

I am watching your channel on my tv and just had to turn on computer to comment on your video. I enjoyed watching and learning, as we are much farther north it is still interesting to see the different species of flowers that can be grown in the north

gee! I fall sowed around 20 kinds of flowers last fall also in containers, they are tiny, I almost thought they are dead... this was a harsh winter, would you say so? But those indoor seedlings you just planted - they are ginormous!!! what's your secret??

Happy belated birthday to your daughter! Finally spring is coming and we can start working in the garden :-)

Yay! I am so excited you posted this! I bought the book the last time you recommended it and I found it so inspiring but I have been totally confused how big these plants should be when I actually move them to the garden. This helps me visualize. I am zone 5 so this fall I’m going to try the plants she suggests for us but I have my babies started for this spring planting. They are a bit behind yours so I think I’m on track!

Thank you for posting! Very good information! I have read Lisa's book but I am still trying to wrap my head around it and learning which flowers can be grown when it is cooler. You have provided a good list! Thank you very much!

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow 🌸 the birds and music 🙌🏻just lovely!

Danielle, I am learning so much from your channel. Thank you for putting out this particular video. It is my first time planting cool flowers. 🌸Some of them I started in the fall. But the ones started in the spring, I’ve been afraid to put out side. They are my little babies! I am in the same zone as you (6b) in New Jersey, and you’ve given me such confidence to set my hearty annual seedlings 🌱 outdoors. I am going to take the leap!! Thanks for giving me the confidence. I enjoy your videos SO much! You put such thought and care into your information. 💛 love, love, LOVE it!!

This was so helpful. Thank you for sharing this. I started planting my ranuncs and anemones two weeks ago. They are so leggy and busting out of their trays. But it has been so cold I was afraid I would kill them all. Finishing that this weekend. Looking forward to seeing you follow up on all these spring lovelies.

I learned this from watching Johnny's seed videos of growing in winter but I still will read that book. I appreciate your explanations too.

I can't wait to try my hand at fall planting & overwintering this year! I was SOOOO prepared for my first cutting garden, but I made the mistake of planting my "plant 10-12 weeks before last frost" things in 128 cell's to try to save on space, and everything needed potted up the week I needed to do my "plant 8-10 weeks before last frost" & I just don't have the time in a week to pot things up AND plant seeds! 😆 But I had a really productive week this week and I got caught up.! I didn't get to start some things when I wanted to, but I have them started (& not too much later than planned), & ill have blooms before long, so I guess that's all that matters! I started my ranunculus too early- it's already blooming & I don't even have them in the ground! Lol! What temps do you wait for, for you to plant your ranunculus out? Also, where do you get your ranunculus?

Very helpful as always, Danielle. I am really looking forward to the ranunculus video!

The new driveway garden is looking beautiful. Can’t wait to see it finished.

Great information, I will definitely be purchasing the book.

Love your accent and voice, so soothing and likeable 😊

🎉 Happy Birthday! 🎉 to your daughter!!! Pisces people are my favorite kind of peeps!! ❤

Thank you so much. I bought the Cool Flowers book last fall based on your recommendation and very excited to see how things work out. Appreciate all of your information that you share. The birds were also so cute to watch and also Grace helping you plant. Hope your daughter had a happy birthday.

I am so grateful for your channel. I too am zone 6b, what luck for me

I really love your landscaped garden, I'm starting growing flowers this year but I have plans to mostly plant in rows. Our new property is an empty canvas so thanks for the inspiration and great information!

You sent me the Pincushion seeds 🥰 thanks so much friend!

Very enjoyable! I am in southern Wisconsin in zone 5a and have larkspur that reseeds growing strong outside. My orlaya also reseeds and comes back each spring. I also focused on growing cool annuals inside and need to move them outside so that I can use the grow lights for tender annuals. At your recommendation I ordered Cool Flowers a month ago directly from Lisa Mason Ziegler and received a signed copy! Thanks!

Your videos on this category are the only ones that helped me grasp the concept. Still confused on Snaps in z5b and will struggle to put them outside. But Thank you.

Very helpful. Thank you. Happy Birthday to your daughter. Colorado 5b.

This video is so helpful. It's my first year for cool season flowers. All will be spring planted but looking forward to trying some fall planting. A few are under lights and some were winter sown. Certainly a year for trial and error but I find so much peace in the process. Zone 6a Western Pa and you are my inspiration for planting cut flowers right in the landscape. :-)

Happy birthday to your daughter!!!🎂🌺 thanks for this !!!!

Thanks so much for all the helpful info!! I’m in Chester county Pa and it’s so nice to see a visual of what I should plant right now!!

It's good to see the cool flower process in a real garden! Thanks for sharing ❤

Happy Birthday to your daughter. I just started this yr getting serious about sowing, thought I'd start with perennials for early planting. First yr sowing Ranunculus, bought at Floret, I planted those in a oval container that I wanted to display them in, put it out under a south side second floor porch that's protected with lattice and they all came up and I had to remove some. I was blown away by the roots, they're insane. Thanks for sharing the book again too.

Very helpful, as usual. Thanks Danielle 😊

Awesome

Love this video thanks so much for sharing 😄🌱🌱🌱

Happy Birthday to your daughter!

Excited to get things in. And for fall seeding a bunch of things.

love these videos. I needed this a while ago lol! Thanks!!

Thank you for sharing.

Love the new front area! Can’t wait to see it evolve this year. I purchased Lisa’s book with your recommendation and it has such great information! I’m attempting to winter sow some hardy annuals in my Zone 5. Happy Birthday to your dtr!!

Thank you I’d forgotten the books exact tittle immediately ordered it from Amazon and it was even 10% off! Your awesome! I’m 65 had my own first garden at 5 yrs old. You do still teach me!

Thanks for sharing 😁

So helpful. Thankful

This was really helpful! Thank you!!

Thank you for the great video,

Can't wait to get the book!! Another great video!! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this! I have so much to learn about growing flowers, I wish you could do more step-by-step videos. But I understand you have time limitations. I will get Lisa Mason Ziegler’s book.

Excellent video - with lots of great info - thanks

Your videos are fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

You’re so great ❤️

Your seedlings are gorgeous. I am especially amazed at those delphiniums. You give me something to aspire to!

Hi I love all the information that you have on your site it’s been a big help for me hopefully I can find the snapdragon seeds Legend light pink but so far I haven’t even in Canada thank you for your garden tips I live in BC Canada

Flower Hill Farm, Erin from the impatient gardener and now you talking about cool flowers so I got the book. I am zone 4a hope there will be some for me to plant because the basement is getting pretty crowded.

Thanks for giving us the confidence to try hardy annuals!! I'm going to try this year! And I just bought the Cool Flowers book!!! Thankyou!

I bought Lisa’s book based on another video you did. I winter sowed some cool flowers but want to try fall sowing one else I get more organized. Love your videos.

Your delphiniums are SO HEALTHY!! It's so strange that though we both are in the same zone, my daffys are blooming while yours are just beginning to sprout!

Very helpful video. I’m also in zone 6b and only about an hour and a half north of you. I’m new to starting my own flowers and thought I missed my window for sowing poppies so I’m so glad you said you are sowing them this week. That’s what I’ll be doing too!

Learned something totally new! Happy birthday to your daughter hope she had a wonderful day

Great video! This was super helpful! 😊

I am in the same zone and havent started my rancu hope to see your video soon!! Planning on starting them this weekend

Cool Flowers is a great book! I'm looking forward to how colorful your garden is going to be! It's amazing how all the cool season flowers grow in Winter conditions isn't it! Amazes me every time!! Down here in Texas the Bluebonnets are one of the wild cool season flowers. They start growing in late October, early November, and normally are starting to bloom right now! I call them "My Birthday Presents" bcuz they are always blooming on my day!! But that big Arctic Freeze we had has really set them back! I could only find about 20% of them still growing... I'm not sure they are going to have time to bloom this year. And with no rain to speak of since the snow was here, all the plants are still so tiny!! The survivors look like to be the same size as they did back in early November! They don't look anywhere near like they will bloom this year... Could this be the year the crazy weather wipes out all the wild Bluebonnets in Texas?!!! Is that even possible?!!!!!! Is it the Wild Flower Apocalypse?????? (perhaps I'm just being too dramatic?!!) Do y'all think Mother Nature has a plan to save the wild ones?

Always so helpful with your videos and I enjoy watching them. Thank you for taking us along and your plants look so healthy! Happy Birthday to your daughter.

I am so jealous of your delphinium seedling!! Mine are so tiny! Great video! You are inspiring me to grow more! My yard is pretty shaded so it isn’t easy. I just put my flower plants at friends, work and public spaces I volunteer at and I end up with lots of gorgeous flowers!

This is very helpful Danielle! I’m in a zone 6b too, and new to growing flowers. I’m learning a lot of new things from your videos!

I have been reading Cool Flowers (based on your recommendation) and can't wait to incorporate the practice into my own garden. I think you do an excellent job explaining the process. Bonus for me...I can just follow your lead as I am also zone 6b. Yay!

Thanks for this video. I’m definitely going to try ranunculus next year.

Thanks! I took your advice and got this link from yesterday's video.... I had boughten the book, but I was still confused. Guess I just got to give it a try! You explain things very well!

Great video and so helpful! What do you have planted in the milk jugs?

My “Cool Flowers” book arrived today! What a valuable resource! Thank you so much for recommending it. I am also in Zone 6B and anxious to give it a try. I can’t read it fast enough. 🌱💚

Thank you for this! I saw your video in the fall, I have 150 little baby plants going into the garden. I keep thinking this is nuts but then I flashback to your videos and I’m going for it. Also, when I pinched my snaps I tucked the tops into soil and they are growing as well. Can’t wait to see your garden in the warmer weather. Btw, I’m over in New Jersey and feel more confident growing things very similar to you.

Hi, Nicole! I would appreciate seeing how you construct your sweet pea teepees. I am growing sweet peas for the first time. As always, thank you so much for sharing your garden and knowledge. I look forward to your videos!

Thanks for all the information on cool flowers. I definitely need to read that book. I also love your soothing background music. Very nicely done.

Great video! I recently purchased Lisa's book and it is amazing. I'm in zone 8a, so I'm already planning my fall plantings! Happy birthday to your daughter. Have a great day!!

Happy Birthday to your daughter!!!! I need to wait for a week or two, because we are getting hard frost tonight. And I´m so ready to go outside and have some fun in the garden. It was a pleasure to watch you today and I hope you got warmed up and cosy by now, and you have a wonderful day with your loved ones.

Good day ,enjoyed your planting video. We still have lots of snow here in zone 3 so planting is few months away. Happy Birthday to your daughter. I enjoy your calming approach to gardening and your videos are realistic.

Really helpful video. My husband and I watch all your videos and have learned so much. Thank you.

I always learn a lot from you! I also purchased the Cool Flowers book after watching one of your video book reviews. Can’t wait to try this technique this fall. Looking forward to seeing your poppies video! I have not had a lot of luck with poppy seeds.....only when I have bought a poppy plant. 👍🌸😍

Thank for sharing your knowledge and experience! I am a home gardener in zone 5b (Denver) and I just discovered Lisa Mason Ziegler and I am amazed that this is the time to put out hardy annuaLs in your zone… I see that I am too late for this year but I will be prepared for next year!

I’m so interested in the idea of cool flowers and fall/winter sowing. I bought Lisa Mason Ziegler’s book after watching one of your videos, and I’m almost finished with it. It is chock full of information! Obviously, I’ll have to do my fall sowing this coming fall, but in the meantime, I’m going to try some milk jug sowing. Thank you for always sharing what works for you and offering useful advice. I just love your channel.

Excellent video thank you 💜🩵🩷

Thank you for explaining this so simply. I am rather new to direct seeding hardy annuals, and the timing (fall or spring) is particularly confusing particularly in climates colder than zone 7, where Lisa Mason Ziegler I think is located.

I would suggest opening the garage door enough to do the work standing up. I use a bleach &. Water . The growth is inhibited for at least the season.
