Absolutely loved your garden backdrop as you walked around talking about the various seeds! Your flower garden, your sunflowers and all the hardscaping is so beautiful. Appreciated learning about the different seed varieties. Please keep doing more of that. I purchase my Botanical Interest seeds primarily from the Armstrong Garden Center and am usually clueless about the pros and cons or other virtues of the various seeds. So really appreciate the detailed perspective you and Jacques share. Awesome!

Even though I've grown sunflowers before, sunflowers do not do very well around here. It was too cold this spring to direct sow them, they don't transplant well when started indoors, and rodent pests always dig up the seeds and sprouts. The only approach that works for me is to wait until the very end of spring and direct sow black oil sunflower seeds, which are the kind used in birdseed, so you can buy them in bulk.
That or stick with my sunchokes, which are impossible to get rid of.

Hi Kevin and Jacques! Just so that Jacques is aware, his biggest fan in the whole world is my 4 year old daughter who calls him Jacques-y and whenever I watch any video with Jacques, she recognizes his voice from across the room and comes running to watch with me. She s an avid gardener and has her own raised bed, full of out-of-season sunflower, 5 cosmos, 2 yummy-kale and a potato she planted 2 months too late. I credit Jacques for her interest in gardening thanks for the new video, guys!

My purple bean plant has began getting beans, i just have the one plant in a container so i don't get too many of them but im just glad i got some beans. I had two squash but something broke the stems completely off so i had to replant them, i like the honey nut squash. Honey nut squash is similar to butter nut but they're smaller so its one serving. Also my tomatoes finally flowered after forever.

I really appreciate the timing of this video. I missed planting in April and May. June got off to a slow start due to health issues. I've been busy preping my containers and starting some seeds in doors. I went to your website after watching this video and ordered your recomended seeds. My containers will all be ready when the seeds arrive. Thanks so much forall of your support!

Love the color options on the 6-cells. I'll have to grab some white now which will be great for starting seeds in full CA summer sun. BTW if there's one indeterminate tomato I would start right now and highly recommend for the Botanical Interests library it would be Stupice. It's a Czech variety that is always both the first and the last to produce of all my tomatoes

I planted my sunflower seeds last week. I went with autumn beauty because i really want those beautiful flowers to come in around october-november. I bought a HUGE 24 inch container and im hoping thats enough space. Im gonna double up on my next paycheck and get even more going. I live in arizona so i have the fortune of being able to grow them year round supposedly.

Question about the determinate tomatoes will they still produce in 100+ degree temps? South Texas here (9A) and I was always told that tomatoes won t fruit once it s over 95 degrees. We typically do a fall planting (our fall = others summer) and get fruit then, but a 68 day plant started now would still want to produce fruit in the dead-heat of our summer. Thoughts?

Thank you for inspirational video as always. I know you don't enjoy them that much but I just plug radishes in every hole I see after harvesting until I figure what I want planted there, in July they take less than a month from seed to harvest. Mid-late summer, depending on your zone, is also a great time to put bare root strawberries in the ground to enjoy next spring.

It was 113 today. My sunflowers and basil do fine but today wasn't some kind of crazy super hot fluke of a day. It's pretty much this until September unless we get a monsoon. I guess the plus is most years I'm still getting tomatoes in late November to early December. as long as I pot them in early October when it cools down.

So here in NE just saying you can't start from seed determinate even early varieties in July. I did try it last season they never ripened. However, I did harvest green tomatoes and used Ball recipe to process and make green tomato salsa Verde. The determinate transplants did ok. Pumpkin no way at all unless we be little.

I have several patio choice yellow in the garden this year and they are my favorite tomato I've ever had. Got some from Botanical Interests and got 100% germination on them. Ended up with twice the plants I intended to grow! LOL I have been getting 30 or more tomatoes per day for the past month. They are SO GOOD!

Sorry guys I'm live in Hades aka Texas and we were hitting over 100+ and now we're being show some mercy high 90's. Everything I've planted is dying even with drip irrigation, my water bill was getting ridiculous then water restriction hit. I'm going to have to wait till Oct-Nov maybe? Good luck to y'all though.

In my appartment I don't have much sun but I have green onions that are doing decently, and edamame that clearly miss enough sunlight. I'm thinking of replacing the edamame with something else more manageable in low light and fast growth. I guess I'll go for round two of basil and coriander.

Great video! Entertaining and informative without being too long. Nothing is worse than a ten minute video one or two tidbits of info and lots of filler. The two person format works well too. Ten minutes of one voice droning on is not good. Keep up the good work!

I cant keep the animals out. They walk all over my sunflowers and snap them or mr chipmunk relocates them. Cats been spraying my red onions so those are going to seed instead. Ready to shoot them all. Not mr chipmunk though he's cool to watch.

These videos help get my 4 year old daughter asleep. I love it because I get to binge watch. Your videos are amazing. We are in winter in New Zealand so the season difference helps me plan and look forward to our spring.
