10 of the Easiest Annual Flowers to Start From Seed!
video description
This year, I am trying different varieties of annuals. I am so glad to have found this video because I was stressing over transplanting! I dont have the proper equipment to start transplants (grow lights, mat, greenhouse, etc. It is nice to know that some of the varieties that indicate transplant recommended can actually be direct seeded!
I thoroughly enjoy your content and have learned so much from your experience. Please keep on sharing

I LOVE sunflowers but growing them is always so difficult. I live in New Jersey and these beetles come at night and completely ruin them! I tried killing them with soapy water every night, tried certain (expensive) stinky sprays to keep away beetles AND deers but NOTHING! instead of enjoying the sunflowers I am ALWAYS fighting to keep them alive. I tried for 2 yearsany suggestions or advice would be most welcome. I would love to grow them for this fall.

Love the sunflowers on the list (so far. We are in zone 9b and have tons of squirrels. I need tons of sunflower seeds for both birds and squirrels. We just moved in and sunflowers are on the top of my annual flower list.
(Planning on veggie plants mainly) But some flowers are high on my list just because they deter pests while attracting bees and butterflies. I expect to find other flowers on your list that Im counting on in lower central Florida.

I'm brand new to gardening and really like watching your show. I'm learning so much and you are a very charming and pleasant person to listen to. I wish I had space to grow things like you. I'm jumping right in to flowers, Dalias, Sunflowers, Begonias and Sweet Peas. Oh, and some wildflowers and milkweed for the Monarch Butterflies that nest near where I live. The only thing I have had luck growing before now was sweet potatoes, which are so easy.

I live in BC Canada zone 8b where it rains with brief cloudy days, rain/partly sun days. Our full sum doesn't come out till may. It's hard to plant some bulbs and seeds that either rot or the squirrels eat. MY ONLY luck is with those plants already in the pot or wildflowers. The only successful bulbs I have are tulips, Lilies and Liatris. I Only look flowers that bees and butterfly likes

hi Laura. I love your videos. However, I have some memory issues, and I find that you tend to mention the variety of the flower just at the beginnning, then you just call them flowers throughout your description, and I don't know the name unless I go back to the beginninbg. If you could replace flower with the specific name a few times in your chats, it would be very helpful. Thanks.

Laura, I LOVED this video. I learned so much about the flower varieties and also loved your tips on when to cut them for arrangements and their vase-life. Here in Minnesota, we often edge our gardens and flowerbeds with marigolds to keep the rabbits, squirrels and deer from grazing on the rest of the plants. They don't like the smell. Allium and lavender work as wells.

Can you give tips on how to save time on planting seeds? It seems like you go out and just pop seeds in the ground but what about weeds and stones? Is it because you always plant in prepared beds? I find I spend so much time preparing areas. I have alot of seeds started indoors but hardening them off outdoors and bringing them back in is taking its toll on them.
