I hope youre doing well. Your flowers are stunning. Keep up the good work. I pray God blesses you and helps you flourish. Ask Him yo bless you.

Home gardener here. I'm trying a few new Zinnias: Elegans Lemon Meringue, Profusion Apricot zinnia with single petals and Star Gold ZInnia with single petals

Good to see you back missed you👍

From the US. Pennsylvania. We have a Horizon sunflower that is upward facing. They worked out fantastic in bouquets last year for me :) We also have a white swan marigold. They grew and worked in bouquets great as well

Fabulous video, as always. Looking forward to following your flower farm in 2024. Much appreciate and enjoy your videos always.

Hello! You'll love the upward facing sunflowers! I'm in PA, USA and have been growing the horizon variety for many years. It is much easier to use it in bouquets. I also grow the others as well. I like the combination of both. Happy growing!! 💐🌻

Nice surprise seeing you this morning, here in the states it's 8am when I'm watching. Your plans make sense to me. I've noticed over the last 10 yrs, my rainy season has been moving each month thru winter. This past month we've had a lot of rain, which had previously started in Oct.

Good to see you back Sarah, hope you have a great growing season. 😊

This is the first time I’ve watched your video and your advice is really helpful. I’ve always been too impatient to plant seeds so hearing more about their germination time preferences will hopefully help me to have more success with growing. Thank you

Lovely to see you back !

Hello Sarah. I've been binge watching your videos to catch up. I just can't believe how lovely your bouquets are. A very different style than U.S. I love it! It won't matter if you change it up, some how you always come up with beautifuly bouquet. I'm hoping that you do more videos on putting the bouquets together. It doesn't have to be extensive (explaining each flower), but to show us the end results once you're done. I know doing videos can be time consuming; my son is a youtuber as well. Thanks again!

Good shout about perrenials and annuals, I have an allotment where one side get pretty much flooded and the other not so, made me rethink how I will plant this year.

Thank you Sarah. ❄️🫠💚🙃

Love Sunflowers!

Thanks for sharing. I love the tone of bouquets

Oh I've been looking forward to another one of your videos.

Procut Horizon sunflowers face upward and are wonderful to work with in bouquets! Can't wait to see the farm this year!

I love sunflowers can’t wait to see how they grow out for u🇳🇿

Love the new hair color 😍

Glad to see you back...was getting worried...lol. Such a busy time for us...I've got Ammi..Daucus.. Snapdragons..and lots of ranunculus...all germinated. Exciting times.🎉🎉

US grower here - so I'm not sure of availability in the UK, but Kilamanjaro White is one of my favorite marigolds. Procut Horizon sunflowers are a staple and I LOVE the upright habit. Total game changer. You'll love them. ❤ Can't wait to see what this season brings!

Thanks for the information. I learned a couple of things.

I grew orange up last year from moles last year its fab 4ft fist size flowers worked amazingly

Marigolds... Second year of growing the tall orange here in New Zealand for bouquets. They go great with the giant purple Asters and dahlias.. Also get snapped up as dried bouquet when I place them amongst white statice. They are even more intense orange dried! . Looking forward to following your 2024 journey ❤

New course - exciting 😊 I grow Vincent’s choice and Vincent’s fresh for sunflowers- they are upward facing and have a semi double petal layer so you can pull the odd petal out if bug damaged etc. Also love me some marigolds! Coco deep orange is my favourite and grows well in my climate which I think is pretty similar to the uk - 25 degrees is a hot day for us and we’re pretty humid.

Hello thanks for sharing good stuff

ive grown the orange marigold and they are great for flower arranging and just keep producing

09:37 Thank you for sharing 👍👍

Hi Sarah I’ve grown African marigold Kilimanjaro last year in South Yorkshire they were really tall and very prolific definitely recommend

Hey Sarah! I grew really tall marigolds by mistake last year! Variety was crackerjack.. but any tagetes erecta or ‘african marigold’ genus will be tall.. i particularly love the look of killimanjaro 🤩

following from Belgium👌

hello from Poland

Love the simplicity of this! I've got snaps started as well as a few other things and I'm looking forward to getting more seeds started. I have a few creamy yellow flowers including the Oklahoma Ivory new to me this year! I also snagged some seeds from Floret, and the Xanthos yellow cosmos.

The amount of rain this last winter was bad here in Holland. A lot of my autumn sown hardy anuals rotted away, bummer!

I’m from Texas but hear to learn- this will be my first year. Hopefully I’m not to far behind in the seedlings

Thanks for this video. I am in the Caribbean. Can you please post the link for the websites you purchase your seeds.

I will be visiting the UK in May. Do you allow visitors to your farm. Would love to visit 😊

Hi, love the videos. Please tell me how to germinate orlaya seeds indoors. Do they want cool or heat mat, do they need light or darkness. Thanks ever so much❤️ so sorry about the teepee😢

Did you get any of florets new varieties of zinnias ?! There beautiful

I grew premier orange up last year, they were great for bouquets. I grew them quite close together so I didn't have monster stems.

Hi there fantastic videos by the way I bought about 200 ranunculus in October but totally forgot to sow them do you think I should throw or sow and would I need to soak them over night still keep up the good work

I set Ammi a few weeks ago but nothing coming up yet they in green house do you think they come ok, tks

Do you use heat mats ? Can Cosmos be sown in March in an unheated greenhouse without any heat sources Thank you

what planting zone are you in?

When to sow cosmos? March or April? Every package says different.

Can you tell me if you sow cosmos, snap dragon and larkspur in an unseated greenhouse with no extra heat, as all my seed packets say need heat 15 degrees and above. The current weather forecast here in Watford is a bit bleak. Could you let me know when you get a moment as I saw no heat in the video. Even larkspur requires 15 degrees.

Yes unheated greenhouse only, do the larkspur especially before it gets too warm.

Zone 7a in USA. I toss my cosmos and larkspur seed straight into the garden between Dec and March, it actually grows well in the cold and tiny 1" sprouts made it through a snowstorm.

I always put the seeds in an old tupperware container on moist kitchen roll. Make sure the container is dark as they like the dark to germinate. They always germinate after around 5 days then pot them up. Hope this helps!

The only issue with Marigold is they smell disgusting 🤢 but work to keep pests away so even if they help keep things off your flowers then win win
