Winter Sowing Results Live Stream Growing Flowers from Seed Gardening for Beginners Cut Flower Farm

Hey everybody, what's up? I think I'm working again. Sorry about that. I guess I've lost connection with my Wi-Fi or whatever. So to start over on the YouTube gaming app, doing kind of a live winter sewing update. It's raining here a lot. It's raining harder. I might have to actually stop this, but I wanted to do a update on the winter sewing because so many people ask about it, and I love winter sewing so much. It's not even funny. Also, if you already watched the other video, which I'm not sure if it even posted or not, so who knows. I just had like oral surgery yesterday, so hopefully I don't sound too funny. But my mouth is really hurting, so anyway, without much further ado, let's just get on to this. Taking a look at some of this stuff. First up, I have this flowering tobacco, and like I said, it's embarrassing how much I put in there. It's way too much. Don't do this. This is not... like, that's way too much. Anyway, but obviously it germinated really great. This was started on... I don't want to dump it out. I think it looks like February 26th. I mean, I'm just gonna plant that out in a clump. Shouldn't be any problem. I also have this Alpine strawberries. Got the helicopters in it still. There's a huge maple tree over in my backyard, and all it does is drop helicopters. I think some people call these maple keys. I've always called them helicopters. Literally, all it does is drop these all the time. These don't look like they've grown very much, and I need to plant them pretty soon. I think I'm gonna put them in a container probably. These are from January 4th. Sorry if you hear a lot of noise. My neighborhood is not the quietest place. Actually, I always get worried when I have the bird camera because it's like, there's no telling what y'all might hear, seriously. Up next, I have some of these Tennessee red peanuts. I started these not too long ago because these are frost sensitive. 328. Whenever this stuff that's frost sensitive, when I have them in winter sewing containers, anytime it's gonna frost, I cover them up with a frost blanket or stuff like that just to keep them safe. As you can see, these look pretty good. I have to start these early because my season is not quite long enough. I feel like I should mention also, even though I'm showing you guys one container of these, I have multiple containers. That's not the only container of peanuts I have. I have tons over there. You can't really see them. Up next, this is something completely new to me. This is indigo. I thought it would be cool to grow some indigo and see what it looks like. This is from 226. You can tell it's huge. I don't really know much about indigo. I know it loves hot weather, and I know it doesn't mind being winter sewn. So I guess we'll have to wait and see how that transplants and if that works or not. That's another one. Hold on a second. I'm trying to see. I just don't know how to do this. I don't know. Hopefully this is working. No clue. I'm guessing it is because there's me in the corner. Sad face. Now this one is a huge achievement for anybody who's ever tried it. Cathedral Bells. They are a pain to germinate. I started these on 3-23 and here they are. Oh my goodness. I can't believe they're actually growing. I'm so excited. So excited. Apparently, even though the package says 50 degree nights, apparently they seem to like it a lot hotter, which would make sense because I think they're native to Mexico, but don't quote me on that. I really need to figure out how this works. I have no idea how this works, guys. No idea. I'm just pushing buttons. Oh, there it is. Awesome. Hello, one person watching. Shout out to you. You're awesome. Now I don't know how to get that off there. Like, how do I get this off here? Let's just try hitting this again. Oh, what do you know? I'm learning. This is fun. It's like teaching your grandma to use like a cell phone for the first time. I know. Embarrassing, right? This is my shizo. I guess that's how you say it. I started this on 2-2, so February 2nd. I've never grown this before. It's perilla. I think that's another name for it. I think it's used for pickling things. And my cat's over there staring at birds. I gotta make sure he doesn't eat a bird while I'm out here. That would make me very angry. Anyway, I think this is supposed to like the hot weather. We'll see. Obviously, it does well in winter-selling containers. I need to transplant these pretty soon. They're getting way too big. All this stuff is getting way too big, but it's just been raining so much. I don't know what to do. I think it's been raining for the past like a week and a half straight. Hold on a second. I gotta go reach for something. Okay, sorry about that. I'm back. I'm just like in this little tiny teeny tiny corner trying to stay dry while it rains. All right, what is this? Let's see. This is Tornado Red Celosia. I like this Celosia because it's that big kind of like brain crested Celosia. The reason I started it in a container is because there weren't very many seeds. This is the only container I have of it. And anytime I get a package that doesn't have very many seeds, I go ahead and slap it in a container. Pretty much, I just wanted to make sure that you know I got my money's worth. Most of the Celosias that you get are, you know, you can just direct sell them and it's no big deal. So there's that. That's exciting. That one's like a burgundy. Let's see, what else do I have here? Let me see if this thing's still working. Unable to check the status. Okay. Well, we'll just believe that it's working. Whatever you say. These are the Spanish Mammoth Peppers. These were started on February 2nd also. Now with my peppers and tomatoes, I went ahead and I pre-germinated them in the house with, you know, paper towel and the heating mat and all that. But you can see and then I put them outside into the containers. You can see it did really well. I actually had a batch of tomatoes that I sold to somebody. He's like, just let me have it. I'll pay you. And I was like, okay, why not? But I kept the peppers and this is the size they are right now. I mean, it looks good to me. That's transplant size and it's about time to transplant. Technically my last frost date isn't until the first week of May, but I've been planting stuff. I'm just rolling the dice. I guess I like to gamble. I don't know. So there they are. I need to separate them. I should have separated them. If I separated them, they probably would have been a lot bigger. You can see they have a lot of holes in their leaves. I've had a lot of trouble with slugs this year. It used to be I never had trouble with slugs, but I've had so many slugs this year. It makes me want to like scream or something. I know there's things you can do to get rid of them, but I don't know. I just figure let them eat and hopefully they'll just go away or something. I don't know. That doesn't make sense. Anyway, hold on a second. I gotta go over here and grab another bottle. Okay, I'm back. I had to grab another bottle. I think I saw, did I see something? I don't know. My little messages disappear too fast. I think I saw somebody talking, which is good. Is anybody even watching this? Hello, three people. How are you? Anyway, here's another one. If you've ever tried to grow mint indoors, it can be a giant pain because they take a really long time to germinate. Usually mint takes about, I don't know, like at least a month or so to germinate. But obviously when you winter sow them, they love it. So I have actually three containers of mint that look just like this. I don't know what I'm gonna do with the mint. I don't know what I thought I was gonna do with the mint. It smells nice. The thing about mint is it's, you're, it's kind of, you can't grow certain varieties from seed. Like, I don't know if I'm explaining this. I don't know if I'm explaining this right. Hey, I'm good. Thanks. But like, if you have an apple mint that you really like and you want seeds from it, it's not gonna be true to seed. These are kind of like a sweet spirit mint. It's just kind of their variation. I seeded these on January 22nd, so a long time ago, but they're doing great. And I've put way too many in there. I'm never gonna learn. I don't know. I just dropped it. Do not ignore, do not pay attention. Just ignore that that I dropped that. No big deal. Ooh, yeah, I love minty. I love mint everything. Like, seriously, too much mint? No, sorry. All right, we have... I really hate how the comments come up sideways, but it's the only way that I can do it so that it's landscape. Like, if I turn my phone the other way, you know, like right side up, it'll have the black bars, and I don't like that. This is Shasta Daisy. These were planted on January 26th. I mean, not much to say. They look great. I did a better job of only putting a few seeds in this one. But I have a bunch of these, so we'll have Shasta Daisies everywhere. Sounds good to me. This is a bell pepper mix that I did. I sprouted it, pre-sprouted it. And then this one is from my second sowing from 319. So you can tell even the 319 winter sowing of this is actually, like, really big and looks pretty good. So winter sowing is awesome. I know I say it all the time, but I love it. I'm not really the most, uh, I don't know, green-thumbed gardener. Yeah, I just get excited when things grow. Who can guess what this is? Anybody? Anybody? I don't know how many people are even watching this. Three people? Anybody know what this is? It's my lavender. Look how big these are. This is so exciting. I planted 20 lavender seeds, and I got, like, 14 seedlings. That's amazing. These were planted on... I didn't write it down. Good job. I didn't write it down. I want to say it was, like, 1-4 or 1-6. It was, like, one of the first things I planted. Lavender are notorious for being hard to germinate, okay? And these look awesome. They look so awesome. It's not even funny, guys. I have to whisper because my neighbor just came out. I don't like... Kind of creepy. Anyway, no. These look really great, and they smell great already. I can't believe that they smell like lavender already. I'm so excited. I can't wait to put this in my herb container. I can't wait. They do kind of look like rosemary, don't they? I agree. I would have said rosemary if I didn't know either. No, I'm so excited. All right, hold on. I gotta stand up and find another thing. Hello. That's awesome. Okay, this is... What is this? Tomato. I know it's a tomato. Heirloom tomato mix 312. So this is from the second batch that I had, and this is from March 12th. So pretty big already. Pretty good. This was a winter sowing container, and I transplanted into a cup. That's the only reason it's into a cup. Looks pretty good. I know a lot of people are skeptical about winter sowing tomatoes, and I think it works. So I'm gonna keep on doing it. We have... What is this? I think it's galardia. Ooh, yeah, galardia. This is from February 2nd. Nice and big and fluffy. I have multiple containers of these. These are huge. These are definitely gonna bloom and look pretty nice. So I'm actually really excited that I have these because I'm always looking for filler plants. Let me see what else I have here. Okay, this is a new one. This is called wild daga. I'm not sure if that's how you say it or not. This is from March 23rd. This is... There were only 10 seeds. It looks like I got, I don't know, maybe three to germinate in there. These are kind of like a really tall... I think lion's tail is another name for them or something like that. They're really tall. Never seen them before. Apparently, they're kind of spiky. Your guess is as good as mine. I really have no idea what to expect with these. I think they get to like four to six feet tall. I don't know how well they transplant. I don't know anything about them, but here they are. I don't know. Alright, we'll do a couple more. I have some cotton. You can see this guy. He's a cotton plant. I've tried to plant most of my cotton already because, like I said, I mean, I'm kind of just rolling the dice with our frosting because I'm ready to get the garden started. I have a couple more and then we'll be done. This is roselle. This is called zinger hibiscus. It's the roselles you make roselle tea with and things like that. These are kind of tricky to germinate when you put them into a winter sowing container. They love heat, but they rot really easily, which is not good, but they did great this year. And these are another one that are kind of like, I don't want to say tropical, but I need a start on it because my season isn't long enough. So I have to start them in containers and keep them away from frost. But these leaves are so pretty when they get big. I'm excited to show you guys that and the flowers are awesome, too. So yay, roselle. We're so excited. I'm so excited. All right, and we have... Okay, this should be an easy one. Who can guess what this is? I'll let you look at it. I put way too many in there. Oh Lord, look at that. That's way too many. I have about four containers like this. Anybody? Is anyone watching? Four people. Come on, you know this. Am I going... Oh, I wish I knew how to spin it in the yarn. I have no clue how to do that. That sounds like so cool. I've used it for like quilt bedding before and it's like really neat. I might do that again this year. Anyway, this is basil and it's got helicopters everywhere. Listen, I might as well start like a maple tree farm. I'm like whispering because it's my neighbor's maple tree and he's outside staring over here. I'm like such a creep talking to myself in the backyard. I don't know if y'all can hear me. Basil, this is sweet basil and it smells so good. It's so fragrant. Can y'all smell that here? Everybody smell, right? Anyway, it's sweet basil and it's so fragrant and delicious and amazing and I need to plant these in my herb containers. And I'm also gonna be interplanting them with my tomatoes. That's about it for now. I hope this was helpful and I hope, I don't know, I hope you try winter sowing. I think it's totally worth it. All these containers over here are just basically repeats of things that I already have. So that I've shown you and a lot of stuff is already in the garden. And I think there's somebody pulling into my driveway. I'll let you guys go. Bye guys. I don't know how to turn this off. See ya.
