You're listening to the Joe Gardner Show, the podcast all about gardening, where we cover

everything you need to know to grow like a pro, no experience required.

And now here's your guide, National Gardening Television Host, and the Joe Behind Joe Gardner,

Joe Lample.

Hi everybody, this is Joe Lample, the Joe Behind Joe Gardner, and welcome to the Joe

Gardner Show.

One of our most popular episodes of all time was one we did less than a year ago on creating

a cutting garden to complement your vegetable garden and all the reasons why that made so

much sense.

Our guest for that episode was Lisa Mason-Zegler from the Gardner's workshop.

It was packed with practical information, and you and I loved it.

So today we're back with Lisa, and thanks to her suggestion, we're talking about a topic

that makes so much sense, annual flowers that can be planted in fall to overwinter or

planting in very early spring.

It's literally a brilliant time to get a huge head start on next year's flower garden,

well ahead of the madness of that very busy time of the year.

And the best part, flowers planted so much earlier are so much better in every way.

And now is the perfect time to talk about this super efficient technique.

She's been honing her skills at this and refining her list of about 33 flower species

that she's able to do this with from her Virginia flower farm.

And you can too, with some of many of these same flowers even down to zone 5 in several

cases.
