   The rule of thumb in Ohio is mother’s day for last frost. Most years, this works out perfectly. I already have flowers started and peppers too. First spring in our new (120 plus year old) house. Planning to put in a bee and butterfly garden this year.

   Informative listen regarding annaul flowers but it will be much better if the list are made according to flowering time of these annuals as zinnia and cosmos are very short flowering time as compare to marigold petonia pansy primula etc

    I love watching your videos and learn so much. Just curios why people chose annuals over perennials ? Isnt bang for your buck in perennials?

    I want to get some seeds, where can we get them? Also could you do a video on starting perennials from seeds too! They are my actual favorites! I love your first name, haha, same as mine! Please do a perennial starting from seeds video! Thank you and we enjoy your videos Laura, my hubby and me! ❤️💗❤️

    The absolute easiest seed flower I have ever grown was geranium. 100% germination… I had more geraniums than I knew what to do with.

    I’m brand new to gardening and really like watching your show. I’m learning so much and you are a very charming and pleasant person to listen to. I wish I had space to grow things like you. I’m jumping right in to flowers, Dalias, Sunflowers, Begonias and Sweet Peas. Oh, and some wildflowers and milkweed for the Monarch Butterflies that nest near where I live. The only thing I have had luck growing before now was sweet potatoes, which are so easy.

    These are some of my favorite videos!! Thankyou. What are the marigolds on the cover pic? You didn’t show them in the video

    
    
    
21. Deb A on March 19, 2022 at 5:44 pm

    Laura, I LOVED this video. I learned so much about the flower varieties and also loved your tips on when to cut them for arrangements and their vase-life. Here in Minnesota, we often edge our gardens and flowerbeds with marigolds to keep the rabbits, squirrels and deer from grazing on the rest of the plants. They don’t like the smell. Allium and lavender work as wells.

    Just found your channel and love it I don’t have any flower’s but I love to look at other peoples flower beds Yours is amazing do you grow all these to sell or just for your own personal use also you have a great way of speaking I’ve tried to watch other garden channel’s because I enjoy looking at how people can make beautiful beds but I loose interest in what their saying I have been going back to look at your older video’s and you can keep my interest to the end I saw all the houses when you were showing your garden I hope they can’t build any closer to you your flowers are beautiful and I can’t imagine the amount of time and work you put into them and it shows

    Where do you buy seeds

    
    
    
27. Heather MacDonald on March 19, 2022 at 5:49 pm

    Great selection! I used to grow cosmos at my last house very successfully. Last summer, when I tried to grow some at the place I’m in now, I made the mistake of planting them in very high-nitrogen soil. Oh, boy! No flowers at all, but stems that we could’ve climbed; they were so big around and had masses of greenery. This year, I’ll be planting them in poor soil. Do you think that’ll make a difference? Or could I plant them in the same place they were in last year since they must’ve depleted the soil of nitrogen? Love your channel! So pleasant and informative. Thanks.

    
    
    
28. CJ Anderson on March 19, 2022 at 5:52 pm

    Great, now I have more Zinnias to add to my list! I grown and harvest the seeds every year. They are SO EASY! I am in zone 5.

    
    
    
29. Wendy Keown on March 19, 2022 at 5:53 pm

    Which annual flowers that love to reseed in the garden?

    
    
    
31. Char 8a on March 19, 2022 at 5:55 pm

    I live in the Dallas Tx area and even flowers and vegetables that need full sun always “fry”. So frustrated.

    
    
    
32. Catherine Hensley on March 19, 2022 at 5:57 pm

    Thank you for sharing with us! I am gardening in 7b and my go-to annuals are sunnies, cosmos, zinnias, and marigolds. I have found them to be super easy to direct sow.

    This year, I am trying different varieties of annuals. I am so glad to have found this video because I was stressing over transplanting! I don’t have the proper equipment to start transplants (grow lights, mat, greenhouse, etc). It is nice to know that some of the varieties that indicate “transplant recommended” can actually be direct seeded!

    I thoroughly enjoy your content and have learned so much from your experience. Please keep on sharing 💕

    Can you offer an idea as to why my sweet peas did not bloom. The plant grew very well, about 6 ft tall on a trellis. They were in direct sun all day on my deck, and it was very hot. They were in a galva used steel tub. Not one flower, lol…I was so disappointed. Thx for any thoughts

45. Neely Peterson on March 19, 2022 at 6:16 pm

    hi Laura. I love your videos. However, I have some memory issues, and I find that you tend to mention the variety of the flower just at the beginnning, then you just call them flowers throughout your description, and I don’t know the name unless I go back to the beginninbg. If you could replace "flower" with the specific name a few times in your chats, it would be very helpful. Thanks.

    
    
    
46. Betty 1966 on March 19, 2022 at 6:17 pm

    That’s what happened to my sweet peas . I’m gonna start them outside this year.
