Everything is looking beautiful and lush Jill 🌸🦋🌸

Dont mind me, just rewatching all of jills zinnia videos as i prep for my own field of zinnias

I planted and now. I have so much to cover. Praying my seeds survive this.

I didn’t realize how big your garden was till seeing this video. I hope the new owners cherish it 😊

Watching your videos give me hope. Not all Americans are going down the toilet. You're honest, loving, intelligent, and creative among many other great things ❤💜💚

Please do a planting video! I would love to see how you plant them in the grid.

OMG i totally bought some nylon trellis off amazon about 2 weeks ago, thank you for showing this cant wait to use this for them.

The zinnia support looks great! Don’t forget to pinch your zinnias to get a more bushy plant. They benefit from pinching in the same way that basil and peppers do.

Isn't there a trade off though? Bushier plants produce more blossoms but with shorter stems. If Jill wants bouquet length stems, it seems better to leave them singular. I guess it depends on size of bouquets/cut flowers she wants.

Pinch when plants are 6 inches not when you are full grown .. if you pick pick pick you will keep producing , cut and come are a series that provide enough stem ..

You can use the LILL lace curtains from IKEA ($4,99) as a insect nett. I use them here in the Netherlands and it works really good. In the curtain seam you can put a pvc pipe as a tunnel.

Those flowers are going to look so beautiful once they start popping up. I can't wait to see. 👍😀🌻🌱😎😍🌼🌷😎👍

Love the netting idea. I think I would put two layers of the netting down. Pull 1 layer as the grow then you can pull the other 1 up after they grow some more. That way you double the support incase 1 breaks.

I just finished the last bed for my cutflower garden and my perennial cutflower bed! Can't wait for my last frost date! & yes you would be amazed by how many bouquets you can get out of a small space cutting garden! What are you planting for filler? All the flower farmers say to plant almost 50% filler & filler flowers, 50% focal flowers, spikes and/ or draping flowers. I learned so much from Florets books! I have "A Cutflower Garden" ''A Year In Flowers" & "Discovering Dahlias" I love them all!

Also check out the Gardners workshop on KZread. She is a professional flower farmer. Plus you might want to move netting out of the way to plant.

The metal pile at the dump is a good place to find things for the garden

I bought the giant purple zinnias from bakers creek this year and I’m SO super excited to grow them! I started them already inside & they are doing great so far 🌺 I live up north in Maine so the frost danger for us is til mid May 😭😭 it’s literally the worst wait EVER! I live vicariously thru all my garden channels like urs ☺️ That rutabaga is seriously impressive!!

Debbie here 👩‍🌾. I can’t wait to see that all in bloom. 🐝🐝🐝🐝

Looking forward to seeing you at Jess and Miah’s farm! Sounds like a blessing for all!

This will be my first year of my cut flower garden and I have a Raised bed full of Zinnias too 💐🤗 I’m so excited to plant 🌱 my seedlings 🥰 I live in Ohio SOOO I am patiently waiting until you guys plant first then I’ll know it’s TIME 😍💐💐💐💐💐💐💫💫💫

That trellising is super cool!! Your zinnias will do awesome this year

Hi Jill Zinnias are one of my fave flowers. COSMOS grows like crazy. I love the Sound of those chimes x

What a great idea! I think your set up is going to work perfect!! 🌸

Reminds me of my pole bean netting. Yes, it does come as a hot mess. But such a neat idea. Good luck with your cut flower sales.

Thank you so much for sharing a great video today and a lot of great information and tips always enjoy watching what you have to do. Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy hope you and your family have an awesome Fourth of July weekend see you in the next video learning so much from you

Love flowers 😍

That bed of zinnias will be so pretty. I got a pack of purple zinnia seeds and just tossed them in the hollow in my garden. They are fuschia coloured. I also planted giant mexican sunflowers but they are only just coming up. At least I think they are. The zinnias have re- seeded themselves and I pulled up the old ones.

Beautiful flowers

I bought that netting as well and I’m trying to grow a cut flower garden this year for the first time. You are having better success with your seedlings than I am, but I hope I learn a lot! Best wishes!

I am looking forward to how your zinnia trellis works out for you as they grow. Thank you for sharing this idea!

Sounds like the book would be great for Mother’s Day

Glad other people were wondering about the trellises for the zinnias also I thought what in the world thanks for explaining now I understand. Also you should celery as you were showing some garden beds would you keep us updated on that and tell us anything special to do I have not ever grown grown it and think I maybe would like to

Brilliant concept to support your cut flowers. Those garlic plants look like leeks. What type of garlic are they. Butterfly grave touched my heart big time. Reminded me of my daughter.

Wow 😮 that's a big rutabaga your going to have a lot of zinnia flowers 🌺💮🌼🏵️🌸🌺 that's going to be very pretty

Great idea

The Floret Farms book is great. I’ve borrowed it from my library in both digital and traditional forms multiple times. Maybe it’s time to just buy a copy.😂 Can’t wait to see all your lovely zinnias! My middle daughter (age4) and I were just discussing the possibility of creating an extra cut flower bed this and it will probably be filled with zinnias and cosmos.

Hey Jill and Nate. What an inginus idea. I can totally see how this will work. Mar y and I love your channel and your fam. Best of luck with this crazy late weather. Dave in TN.

Pretty cool idea!

🐦 My favorite flower. 💝

Great idea for supporting your zinnias!

YAY! Been waiting for another great video!🥰👩‍🌾

I can't wait to see how/if this works, interesting idea! I would think the leaves will come up through the holes also, and make moving it up not feasible?

I feel ya with the frost. I want to do all the things.🌶🍓🥒💚🌻🍅❤️

Can't wait to see all the flowers! The bed looks wide, do you not need pathways or rows in between to plant and harvest?

This is also used for gladiolus and tall snaps

I wonder how adding another layer of net at the next higher position now would work, rather than moving the low one up after your plants have grown up through it? Maybe it would reduce damage to the plants. Or you could try it on one section for comparison. BTW, that Tenax brand netting should be pretty good stuff, I use their deer fence around my garden and it is tough!

I like how that looks and think it’ll work 👍🏻 Will you be putting on a second ‘layer’ of netting as the zinnias get taller.

Thank you and great question. I will not put a second layer but move the netting up as the zinnias grow.

I would fear the poles will bend over with added height and you won't be able to keep your trellis tight enough as the flowers get taller. I hope it works!

So are you buying the old Roots n Refuge farm?

She posts it on IG all the time. She gets them from Natural Life.

How early did you start your zinnias indoors? I did what it said on the pack but my seedlings are just a stalk and one leaf on top:(

So where do I buy those sticks

Also are you pinching your zinnias? I have a video that has a good example of why you should pinch your zinnias. But the jist of it is that it will give you a exponentially more blooms! Yes they will send out some side shoots eventually, but its usually not at the bottom, & it's never as many as if you were to pinch and cause them to send them out... If you pinch your zinnias above the 1st or 2nd set of true leaves it forces them to send out side shoots at the bottom b/c that's the only option. If you dont pinch, & let it send out shoots wherever, it usually causes VERY top heavy plants that can break in the wind!

What kind of camera are you doing your videos with?

I think I heard you say that you plan to put a zinnia plant in EACH square of the netting. This will never work. Zinnia plants grow quite wide and bushy. It will be way too crowded.

I love your vids but that there is a flat-out shit idea. Its going to be a complete pain to plant the middle of that bed and if you thing that plants growing through that thing are going to let you raise it up without damaging things and uprooting entire plants, you're dreaming. You'd have been far better of just putting a shade cloth wind break around the outside of the bed. My opinion notwithstanding, good luck with your flowers.

@@cynthiafisher9907 I'm a farmer and I just wouldn't do it that way. If you insist on this style of thing at least plant the bed first so you don't have to step through the thing and add a second layer later on so you don't have to try and move that mesh up.
