Running behind schedule on your fall cool flower plantings? Wondering if you still have time to plant, or if your window of opportunity has passed? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss whether or not it is too late to start or plant cool-season hardy annuals this fall. They cover how to determine whether it is too late based on your seed-starting method (direct seeding versus transplanting) and weather conditions, wintertime plantings in warm climates where the ground does not freeze, the importance of using hoops and row covers for late plantings, letting go of missed opportunities, and more. Listen to the podcast and learn how to determine if you still have time to plant cool flowers this fall!
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.
