Tips, Tricks

1. No te entendí un carajo.
2. Nice video, i learned a good bit from your flat preparation section, specifically the soil level bit.
3. excellent video George..thank you for your knowledge and time
4. George, do you prepare your seeds in any way before planting?  Also, the cuttings you mention, these aren't really cuttings, rather early sproutings with a small piece of the tuber preserved?  Is that correct?
5. I plan on trying these in zone 7... *Live in CT in my front yard.. a bunch of hybrids and the new Tuti Fruti Mix.. Fingers crossed!
6. great vid, gonna try this !
7. I planted lupines in a flower bed and I had thought that I could plant annual flowers in the bed too so that I could have flowers this year, while I wait for the lupines to flower next year. Unfortunately, the excess nitrogen the lupines are fixing in the soil caused some of the annual flowers to grow huge but without blooms. Cosmos, in particular, are giant but flowerless. My forget-me-nots grew to nearly 4 feet tall(!), but flowered heavily, although the flower heads stretched to the point of being almost spindly. I'm sure there are some flowers that can benefit from the nitrogen boost, but lettuce, strawberries, squash, curcubits, brassicas, and other heavy-feeding plants are probably the best companions for lupines. 
8. Hello George,
   These lupins are fentabulous. 
   Can I buy some seeds that are nicely mixed from you? I live in Australia/ Canberra. thanks a million  
9. great video on dividing and propagating. thanks for the info!
10. Thanks for the tip. I do believe that some of the delphiniums I am experimenting with this year might be Pacific Hybrids.
11. I to have trouble with Delphiniums they do not winter over well in my zone 3-4 winters. Bought 100 seedlings 2 years ago and only have less than a dozen left. Pacific hybrids seem to be quite hardy. 
12. Would love to see any more you have to offer. I have a great amount of trouble with delphiniums. Not sure if you have some knowledge of those too.
13. You have absolutely excellent instructional garden videos. 
14. Will remember that next time, glad I held some of the seeds she sent to me back, fingers crossed, next year will be better. Thanks for the reply
15. Lupines do not like being transplanted. It is easiest to just plant seed where you want them to grow.
16. Thank you sir for a very informative video. A short while ago I planted some seeds here in Kent, England, from my best friends garden in Arizona (Blue Lupins), into a propergator. Within a week, they were over 2 inches long. Pricked them out and into a large pot of Miracle Grow compost they are now around 4 inches + in length, but growth seems to have slowed. Am hoping they still take even though planted beginning of July. Wettest summer on record here, so keeping them on the window sill.
17. slugs, aphids and karner blue butterfly larva will eat lupine. 
18. Great job!!!
19. Now is good up to july 1
20. Could you tell me please when is the good time to star a seed?
