Get the EARLIEST BLOOMS with this cutting garden plan (including cover crop)!

Are you dreaming of early spring flowers but not sure what to plant? In today’s video, I’m sharing a step-by-step guide to planning and planting a cold-tolerant 4x8 foot cutting garden bed, packed with some of the best flowers for cool-season success. Whether you're a flower farmer or a home gardener looking to extend your bloom season, this guide will help you get started with hardy annuals that thrive in chilly temperatures!

One thing I forgot to mention in this video: don't forget to harden off your seedlings! While they are cold tolerant, just like any seedling, they need practice before getting planted out, so give them at least a week to 10 days of gradual exposure to outdoors and cold temps, and if you're forecasted to drop below 20 F or so with no snow cover I'd recommend covering with some fabric!

🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ The best cold-hardy and easy flowers for early blooms (including stock, snapdragons, sweet peas, and more!)
✅ How to plan your flower bed for maximum growth and productivity
✅ A recommended layout based on how we grow flowers on our farm for high-yield blooms
✅ Sustainable gardening tips like cover cropping to help your plants establish strong roots before spring

Planting cold-tolerant flowers is a great way to get a jumpstart on the season, ensuring you have early color, fragrant bouquets, and healthy plants well before the heat of summer arrives! Whether you're growing for a cut flower garden, a small-scale farm, or just want to enjoy an abundance of springtime beauty, this video will give you the knowledge and confidence to grow more flowers, earlier!
