Are any of these deer resistant 🤔😐
How do you sow poppies? Direct sow or in modules?
I’m growing Snapdragons, Nigella, Zinnia, Red and Purple echinacea, Campfire rudbeckia, Dwarf Pompon Asters, Shasta Daisies and Ranunculus.
merci pour tous ces bons conseils Niall
Good video
Morning Niall the only flower I started now is my chocolate cosmo and fingers crossed it goes well as last year they never germinated. Thank you for sharing 🇨🇦🐝 safe
ps what no zinnias 😱🥲
I had no idea I could buy bulbs where the first years hard work is already done for me! Thanks so much. 🙂
Great video guys. I love to grow flowers too. I grow them to bring in bees and also predatory insects such as hoverflies. Galanthus nivalis is one of my favourite bulbs also. The patches of them have started flowering at home and down the garden also. As a natural gardener I always find time for flowers for tinctures and eating too. Last year I grew verbena, Icelandic Shasta Daisy’s and red valerian.. My verbena grew so well from seed, I like to use vermiculite when I sow them and cover the seeds with dry vermiculite after sowing the seeds on damp seed compost that was sprayed and grown on heat….. and then I usually do nothing, no watering or nothing as they germinate best on a moist but not wet soil. My verbena have overwinter well so far having been mulched and cut back. This year i should get a good flowering period from the Shasta Daisy’s as they flowered a little last year in their first year.
Great to see you two collaborating.
Take care.
Allan
Nice video, thank you very much for your video. I enjoy watching it. 👍❤️🍞
Wow it’s So Amazing🌲 🌲🌱👍🏼
Great info !!! I’m ready to start sowing !!!
I grew foxgloves, but now finding out they are toxic and can cause severe allergies or death if eaten. I guess I have to destroy them, don’t want anything risky in yard/garden where kids play.
I’ve just come across your channel Niall. I must say this type of content is a winner for new to seasoned gardeners, who doesn’t benefit for seed recommendations. I’m looking forward to binge watching your videos. 👌💕
Wow
Snowdrops are definitely the first signs of Spring. I have mine in blue pots and they really stand out. So pleased with the amount I have this year, the frst came out on Christmas Eve!
It was really lovely to be involved in this episode! I
OMG I loved this video!😁👋 Thanks for sharing my friend!!👍💪💯462
Thank you for sharing seasonally appropriate seeds
Hi Niall, I hope you’ve missed the storm there! I always enjoy your videos, and I search for ones from way back too, for inspiration. They always make me feel positive. How about forget-me-nots? I should have put them in around September, but it has been flat out here.
I sow mix of poppies, snapdragon cosmos
I thought I had my sowing timetable sorted last year until we had the cold spell in May. My petunias I grew from seed suffered and never really recovered, they flowered. I recommend starting a journal/ diary of what you sowed. Most of the seeds you are sowing can handle colder temperatures, I had my sweetpeas out in April and covered them with a bit of fleece during the nights, lasted me well into September but these were started in October/November.
Thank you.
Definitely agree with poppy 😍❣️
Excellent suggestions and Thank You for sharing 💕 Coneflowers are one of my favourites and Rudbeckia to sow this time of year 🌸🦋🌸
Fab video! Got some foxgloves planted & some sweet peas, have never grown sweet pea before, gonna give them a try. 😀
Well I just adore your accent.
My 1st sweet peas are coming up in the paper rolls!
Pre-sprouted then placed in soil rolls!! Foxgloves I used the winter sowing method.
I sowed Mums last year late June, not knowing much. I will have to get some rain drops, and have echinacea in my cart!!
So good sharing
Hello from Colorado. I’ve never seen snowdrops in real life. I accidentally came across pictures of them last year and had to have them. Most of my neighbors had never heard of them either and are now excited to see them poking out my grass this spring. Right now it feels too early for sowing. We’re finally getting into the swing of winter. But, it would be nice to have something growing again.
I have a question about foxgloves. I have seen many packages in my local garden center that says they’re perennials,so I thought this plant would bloom the first year.
Thanks Niall and Erica for all the flower seed sowing fun ideas 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱for February 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Lots of interesting plants. I’ve always noticed that on UK and Ireland garden shows they always speak of buying snowdrops in the green from local garden centers. Of course, I’ve have moved many in the green but never seen them for sale that way. I’ve always just bought the bulbs in the fall and planted them with good results. I wonder if they only offer the bulbs because when they do emerge in late winter here the ground is usually still half frozen and under snow. Either way they are a welcome nuisance when they spread.
Hi everyone! Hope this gives you some inspiration to sow some flower seeds for your garden this year. Let me know in the comments what you’ll be sowing and growing!
Wow😲🤩😍
I love lillies but have cats so don’t plant them in my garden as they are poisonous to them. Great video.
Super videos Niall , snowdrops in the green are hard to source in Ireland, any suppliers you know if, thanks PJ
What the heck is "Monty Don"? must be a place or a famous garden. Sorry for being a clueless, crass American.
Icelandic Poppies are technically perennial but very short lived so best treated like an annual or biennial. They do best in cooler spring temperatures and don’t like mid-summer heat plus they can be slow to get going when started from seed, so I’ve found it best to treat them like a biennial. I always sow them in June and plant out in Sep/Oct. Mine are already forming their first buds and should be flowering from March if we get a mild and sunny one. I’ll then pull them out in early July when it’s getting too hot and replace them with Zinnias or Cosmos. Unlike many other poppies you can use them for cut flowers but you have to sear the stems in boiling water to stop them dropping their petals straight away.
Hi Niall, great to find an NI gardener on YouTube. Couple of questions for you! If you buy seeds online, where from? Seems hard to get over here. Also do you know anywhere to buy those corrugated steel raised beds locally? Struggling for both since shipping here is hard now. Subscribed btw, great channel.
Second year gardening, haven’t got any flowers to sow this year yet, but started some veggies on the window sill.
Thanks! love the channel!
Thanks!
Do you mean just plant these seeds outdoors?
So glad you two teamed up. Two of my favorite gardening channels from over here Stateside (Pennsylvania USA) 🇺🇲
Where to buy them in Ireland though?
Is Foxglove poisonous to dogs?
FYI – Foxgloves are very poisonous, do not allow children touch them, if they do they must wash their hands.
My daffodils are in bloom and I always love the show they produce- wish I could show you! I’ve tried echinacea but no luck so far.
What are the most fragrant flowers that I can grow?
Oh and I love your channel. New subscriber here 🙂
I just love your show! Cone flowers here in Kentucky in the USA are perennial. They bloom all summer into late fall. In the fall I cut them back to the ground and they come back every year.
