#49 – Cool Flowers Fall Planting Checklist
Did you know that fall is the perfect time to plant cool-season hardy annuals for a bountiful, flower-filled garden next spring? Wondering what to plant when, and how to adjust your grow room to provide the optimal environment for cool flower seeds and seedlings? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss their checklist of key items to keep in mind when planning your fall plantings and sowing cool flower seeds. They cover what to plant in the fall and when, how many seeds to sow relative to the number of plants you hope to end up with, why popping your seeds in the freezer may help to improve germination, the ideal grow room temperature and heat mat setup for cool flower seeds and seedlings, and more. Listen to the podcast and get ready to sow the seeds of next year’s blooms!
The video version of Lisa and Layne’s conversation will be posted to The Gardener’s Workshop’s YouTube channel, where all “Seed Talk” episodes are organized into a playlist. In addition, auto-generated transcripts are available for viewing on YouTube.
