Making My Garden A Beautiful Place
Not EVERYTHING in my garden is a vegetable or herb! I also plant flowers! I plant for both pollinators, and for making my world a little nicer to see. Today, I started some Marigolds (Pretty, AND pollinators like Bees, Butterflys, etc, love 'em!). Also, I planted two kinds of Zinnia, and some Bachelor Buttons (My wife LOVES them!) Over the next four weeks, I have many more flowers to start indoors from seed.
A BIG part is making sure my seed starter is finely sifted. The finer the seed, the finer the seed starting soil I need to use. So, first thing I do, is to SIFT the seed starter!
(Image is a screen shot of my order for when I bought the classifier)
These SIFTERS are called CLASSIFIERS. The one above, is called 1/4inch Classifier. These come from the Gem and Gold digging community. The classifiers are one inch (sorts out larger stones), 1/2 inch stones, 1/4 inch (what I use) the quarter inch will take my soil and sift out all the bigger bits of stick, wood, etc, that are NOT broken down. That leaves nothing but a fine planting seed starter "soil."
Check out the video, and see how I grow my Flowers from SEED! Let me know, below, are you planting your own flowers, too? My gardens are in Zone 7a/7b New England.
It really helps me out if you subscribe to my YouTube Channel...
...and of course, if you SHARE the Video, too!
MANY Thanks!
And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.
