#57 - Troubleshooting Cool Flower Transplant Timing Issues

Seed Talk with Lisa & Layne

Are you realizing that you may have started your cool flower transplants a bit too early? Wondering how to slow down seedling growth if weather is preventing you from transplanting out on time? Today, Lisa and Layne troubleshoot issues with cool flower transplant timing. They cover the ideal transplant size and weather conditions for fall-planted cool flowers, ways to slow down seedling growth when transplanting is delayed, and tips for using row covers or shade cloth when planting cool flowers out in warm conditions. Listen to the podcast and learn how to deal with mature transplants in soil blocks or trays when your seed-starting timing was a bit off or the weather is not cooperating!

The video version of Lisa and Layne's conversation will be posted to The Gardener’s Workshop’s YouTube channel, where all “Seed Talk” episodes are organized into a ⁠⁠⁠⁠playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠.
