What a list, Traci! I'm jealous that you'll be growing peonies. I LOVE peonies, but I don't think we get enough cold down here for them. Can't wait to see yours next year! Are you ws'ing? I started collecting milk jugs and water bottles and cheese trays. I wonder if I even need to do that being in zone 8b/9a. . . I'm just jumping on the bandwagon. I'm not doing tulips. One year I planted loads of tulip bulbs and got maybe 3 blooms. Daffodils were another story. They came up for a few years. I love hyacinths too. I really need to look into getting bulbs.
I forgot about my hydrangeas and roses that I already have. From your list, gotta go get gerber, delphinium, and snapdragon seeds. Well, I'll wait and see what RR seeds I'll be getting first. I like your photo. Great lighting! That pic above is of my pat austin rose that I'm totally in love with. It's just a baby right now. . . can't wait for it to grow up.

I am going to attempt to wintersow. I went a little overboard with seeds. Being my first year, I wiped out some seed stores. You will not be able to see my house from the flowers and vines.
I have ~~hanging head in shame~~ over 200 bulbs to plant. I am trenching down the walk and just plopping them in.
I just now learned how to use my camera. I have gone picture crazy. I love your pat. The yellow was already here. I haven't touched it and it has bloomed beautifully. In fact the only thing to bloom at all almost during the drought. This the other bloom. Just thought the pic was cool.

200 bulbs . . . niiiiiice! Yes. . .cool macro. I just started to learn how to use my camera too. . . and I'm learning I don't like it very much. It doesn't have a built in stabilizer and my hands are so shaky and I'm too lazy to use the tripod. I have to take a gazillion pics before I get a decent one. Anyway, that's a really pretty pic of your rose. . .what a "knockout"!

I'm just doing my sweet peas to overwinter.
I usually wait until spring to sow anything, also I divide plants then, and put them into their flowering positions.
I did manage to collect quite a few seeds from the garden late summer.
It's a good time to take rose cuttings now! |

Larkspur was incredible last year. I let it go to seed and hope that it comes back in full force. During the summer of 2006, we had one of the worse droughts on record; 2007 was one of the wettest Springs on record. So I planted in three raised beds: Freesia, Daffodil, Ixia, Allium, Narcissus (4 varities), Ranunculus (my favorite). I am also watching for this years Bearded Iris. |

I love what you have listed Jarlsberg, esp ranunculus. Have to look up Ixia, but all the others make beautiful cut flowers. I sowed some larkspur seeds and no luck. Will they do better if I wintersowed or in the spring? I have one yarrow seedling out of probably 30! One is better than none I guess.
More additions to my list:
Snapdragons
bells of ireland
gladiolus

Thanks karmaplace, this is my first time to try Ixia. I hope they are as good as they look online. I usually sow larkspur seeds in late February (because I am too impatient to wait until March). I had several hundred larkspur plants last spring, so I let them go to seed in August. We'll see if they come up again in the spring. I have had great luck with snapdragons that I bought in 4 inch pots, but they were really expensive. I am looking for other seeds that make good cut flowers. Any suggestions? |

I looooove larkspur and just ordered the seed. Karma, I have to look up both Ixia and ranunculus, how sad is that. Jarls, I love the way delphinum looks. Also Terri did an arrangement with sweet peas. The colors are beautiful. That is about all I know since I just started this gardening thing 4 months ago, in the worst drought ever. Sucker for punishment I guess. Oh, hollyhock and columbine. Of course these are all tall except for the sweat peas.
If you have time, drop in the cafe. We are small but energetic. I have only done two arrangements and none at all before that. These gals are teaching me. I currently have flowers dying in the fridge, waiting to be arranged, but I can't find the time. :^( |

Wow, finally looked up Ixia. It is gorgeous! Now I have to do some research to see if they will bloom in my area. Ranunculus make beautiful bouquets, Traci. They look like old fashion roses but smaller. I didn't realize columbine was tall Traci. Can it get as tall as hollyhock?
Good luck with the drought. I don't know how y'all deal with it. |

Well, bulbs that are planted in the fall stays in the ground through winter and blooms in the spring. Alliums for example, I heard does not bloom well here in the south because we don't get cold enough long enough. Does that make any sense? |

Thank you! Exactly what I wanted to hear! I want to plant them so bad, but for some reason, I thought they were spring flowers and I haven't had much luck with spring bulbs in the past. One year I planted so many tulips and maybe 3 came up. I also planted grape hyacinths (?) and crocus. . .nothing! Now I'm understanding some bulbs aren't good for certain zones. |

Just thought I'd update this thread with seedling pictures from my fall and winter sowing adventure. This is my first year so I'm really proud of the little that I got germinated.
Starting with sweet peas. They grew so fast out of my water bottles that I had to transplant into a slightly bigger pot.

The seeds were mixed colors. That was the only one that germinated. I haven't tried them again since. Do you see the little side ones? They just started growing. I wonder if they came from extra seeds that I had sown in one pot, or can they spread? I'm not giving up on all the bells yet. Maybe they're just not ready. |

A well deserved pat on the back! All your babies look perfect, great job! And you've posted a couple I'm sowing and am glad to see what the seedlings look like.
From the conversation last fall on ranunculus, I was wondering if you tried any? I love them, but here its either too hot or too cold at any point to do well for long outdoors. When I have a cool greenhouse, I'll definitely be growing a few in winter. I was thinking they may be a good winter/spring bloomer in your area, and probably hardy there.
Did you start your agapanthus from seed? I have some germinating now :-) |

Neal, I bought a few packs of the ranunculus, but haven't planted them yet. I'm not sure how they'll do, but I saw some in bloom at HD. I hope I'm not too late in planting them. I also have ixia and anemone bulbs that need to be planted.
Were the agapanthus seeds easy to germinate? Any special techniques or were they wintersown? How exciting you got them growing from seed! I dug up my sister's aggie and divided them for myself. It's nice to know it's not impossible to grow them from seeds. Mine are a deep purple, almost navy. . .I think it's purple cloud. Have never seen any planted around here.
Terri, I have no idea how long Canna will take to flower. I soaked and nicked all the seeds before planting. A lot of work for only one to germinate. Should have just asked for a few off-shoots from my neighbor. But it was exciting to see it sprout. |

This is my first go at agapanthus and I just sowed them indoors under lights. I was surprised to see germination starting so quick, about 2 weeks.
I think if you go ahead and get the ranunculus planted you may see a nice show from them before the weather gets hot, that's what makes them melt. |

I have maid leis before, but its more cost effective to get them in already maid (which I found out after the fact, LOL). Orchids Direct is a company that imports from growers and they offer dendrobium leis at a good price. I believe they sell to the public as well as to businesses. They offer an amazing selection of cut orchids at really good prices.

They are gonna sit there like that til the weather gets nice and warm and they get enough hours of sun then they wil take off. About the middle of March I wil start fertilizing mine and usually by May they are up and have buds ready to open on them.

Just keep an eye out for Hollyhock rust. It can come if the humidity gets high and keep an eye out for any pests.
Here the reciepe for a spray if ya notice any spots on yours.
Healthy Hollyhock Spray
Here is a recipe I have used on occasion. I got it from a Sharon Lovejoy column in an old Country Living Gardener magazine.
Healthy Hollyhock spray
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 T. canola oil
1/2 tsp. DW soap or Murphy's Oil Soap (I used Murphy's)
1/2 cup white vinegar
Mix with 1 gal. water and spray on hollyhocks every few days. I don't do it regularly, just when I see evidence of rust starting.
500 , yep for a fund raising project.

I grew bells a few years ago, and while I did have a few to mature and flower, they were short and stunted and never reached cutting potential. I had started them indoors under lights and transplanted out. Since then I've learned they like cooler temps, and have wintersown some. No sprouts yet, and these are old seed, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. A friend of mine who liked experimenting with various methods of seed starting used what I'd call a modified wintersowing method and had great success with them last year. He grew them in big containers, and sowed the seed directly into them early, while it was still pretty cool. As the seedlings emerged he covered them with straw to protect them and in June he had a lovely display. Later in summer when it got hot and dry they struggled.
Did you direct sow your larkspur? I think the key is when you sow, which for you would be much earlier than here. March is the best time here to spring sow, while its cool out and we're still getting regular frosts. I've also had good luck sowing in early autumn; they germinate and remain little green rosettes through the winter and start growing when spring comes, and typically bloom earlier than spring sown. Once summer heat sets in, they start to decline, but through June and much of July are stunning. I'm wondering if they would be a good winter grower for you. Perhaps autumn sowing would be worth a try.
I've added several more things to the cutting garden lately. We picked up a bunch of cheap, bagged roses with that in mind. If they do well and end up being permanent, great, but at $4 they were as cheap as a lot of annuals and worth it for a few cut blooms. Have also wintersown some tall brain celocia; there's something kind of gross looking about them, but I like em anyway, lol. I've been thinking about some big dahlias, and out of cheapness decided to start some from seed after I found giant decoratives at Swallowtail Gardens. Then I came across a dahlia tuber co op that I couldn't pass up. So by golly, I'm gonna have dahlias! I have no idea how I'm going to deal with all these seedlings; they like to be warm and since practically every seed germinated, finding space under lights is going to drive me nuts.

Neal, I "wintersowed" the bells. Wintersow in quotations because our winter isn't consistently cold. In fact last week, we were in the 80's, and that's when I noticed the bells going downhill. You must be right about their fondness for cooler weather. I also wintersowed larkspur, at the same time as the bells. Nothing yet. I also sowed them in the fall last year. Yarrow germinated and larkspur never showed up. I may just have to buy them as plants.
I started getting to roses as well, especially the david austin ones. But have to tighten up on my budget. . .therefore seeds have been the way to go or grow. Your garden sounds lovely. Hope to see pictures in the spring. I agree about the celosia, but they are very interesting in arrangements.
A few more seeds have germinated here. Pink candle celosia, double pink hollyhock, angelonia, foxglove, and lupine. I hope they aren't all cool weather loving plants. |

Thanks! Angelonia should do well. I collected the seeds from my garden last year. |

Karma, you have sweet peas already! how lovely. Everything seems to be doing really well, you are always going to get plants chewed up by something or other sometimes!
I haven't seen my Amaranthus coming up yet, hope its still there! Yours is a lovely colour. It's really nice to see flowers from all your hard work sowing seeds. |
