    #353: Top 5 Mistakes, Cool Flowers Edition (Encore)

    These are the top 5 mistakes I see folks making related to Cool Flowers, don't be one of them! 1. Not knowing your first & last frost dates, along with your lowest expected winter temperature 2. Not preparing your garden beds ahead of time 3. Not knowing how each seed prefers to be started (indoors or outside, direct sow vs transplants) 4. Not providing the right environmental conditions seed sprouting and optimal seedling growth (light, temperature, air, and water) 5. Failing to realize that you do NOT have to start all seeds yourself (plugs are an option!) Avoid these common mistakes to save time, money, and most importantly, your sanity!

When you find your planting time sweet spot, you will be the envy of all your grower friends, and your customers will think you are nothing short of a miracle worker! As a Southerner, I spent years at the farmers market watching customers love on my sweet peas and tell me why they can't be grown here - Ha! Meanwhile, I hear from my northern flower farming friends that they have become driven to find ways to get this plant family in the ground earlier and earlier each year to reap the benefits! Cool Flowers are for everyone. Myth busted, truth unveiled! Enjoy this week's episode for my best Cool Flower tips and recommendations for Southerners and Northerners.
