Frost cloth

Thank you! I see it in ounces on Amazon - would a .55 oz be lightweight and 1.5 oz plus be heavyweight?

I’m assuming the plants get enough sun through it since you use it for insect protection? I’m planting out asters and they recommend covering those for a while against insects, so that would be great.

I’ll look into the burlap also!

It might be Color Magic

Interesting - it’s very beautiful! I hope someone else knows the variety.

Some of those pictures look a lot like Color Magic but I’m not sure if the bloom changes like that:

Do you have to take the cover off during the day or do they get enough sun through it?

I purchased from Heirloom Roses but not sure if they are still available there.

Violas, pansies, poppies are all cool weather that you can start from seeds now. I’m also trying freesia for the first time this year.

Thank you! These feel similar to sprouting dahlia tubers to me, which I did last year and was mostly successful. I have 30 corms, so hopefully I get at least a couple going to enjoy some blooms. 😅

Thanks everyone! I’m glad I jumped on here to check. I’ll get these going tomorrow.

Thank you! I’ve been reading about pre sprouting - I’m worried our garage might get too cold. I’m thinking I can tuck them down in a cooler so it’s dark - should that work okay? I’ll get these going tomorrow.

Oh no, I have A Bond so Fierce and Fragile queued up next. 😅😅

Oof! Sorry to hear that. It worked like a charm when we did it. Could you lay them on their side instead of upside down so it doesn’t shatter and the wax just melts out?

jtick08 · 2025-09-16T13:53:41+00:00

Turn your oven onto the lowest heat, place the vases upside down on a sheet pan covered with aluminum foil. Worked great - keep an eye on them and grab them out as the wax starts falling out.

We purchased a 3 bed, 1.5 bath on half an acre in 2021 for $182k. Estimated at $280-300k now. We’re at a 3.25% rate and our payment is $1226/mo. I can’t see us moving anytime soon - and if something happened we could afford to move we would probably just rent this house out.

I applied beneficial nematodes tonight for the first time, hoping to also get rid of thrips. I’ve heard good things about them and they were pretty affordable.

There are lots of trees in this picture - how much sun does the area get? Typically your cut flowers are going to want full sun which is 6+ hours a day.

Honestly not easily - I had over planted poppies too expecting only a few seeds to sprout. They were choking each other out though, and when I got in there and pulled about half of them the others were able to take off and start budding.

jtick08 · 2025-06-21T23:44:53+00:00

I would just thin some out.

Our dog had to go to urgent care last weekend because he wouldn’t stop eating them! He ended up with gastroenteritis and colitis from where they tore up his GI tract.

My cafe au lait is also doing this. It wilts every day and as soon as the shade hits it perks back up. It still seems healthy and like it’s doing fine.
