Look forward to seeing you guys.
Hi Luke, love your channel, I live in southeastern Florida, and since I’ve moved here I have not seen any apple trees here, will they grow here, however I am growing a pomegranate tree from seed it’s now over a ft tall, the weather is so warm here after cold stratification, would the warm weather shock the seed?
Can you cold stratify all seeds if your not sure which ones need to be?

This is very timely info for me! I had been looking up if asparagus can be grown successfully from seed, but didn't find anything like this. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Next time, I'll check your channel first!
About how long should you cold stratify bleeding hearts? I read 6-8 weeks but you said not to do that. Also do you know the latest you should plant them in the ground in Michigan after they germinate? Thank you for your time! 🙂
Hi Luke,
I'm wondering why your seed packets don't tell us to cold stratify these seeds? I'm certain we would have much greater success and germination rates if that was added.
Hope you add a sticker in the future.
Thanks! Kate
Could you do a video on all the garden veggies that are perennial for your northern climate? I saw the one where you said blue curled scotch kale is perennial and was wondering what else is?
I received my MI Gardening seeds today!
Learn something new every day. That's what I love about gardening. I've been gardening since I was able to walk. Never knew about cold stratification. Probably because I've always had a tiny yard to grow in so I've always stuck with the basics. But we just bought 25 acres and can't wait to try growing so many new things. Thanks for the information
I'd like to see you do a video on seeds that are super tiny like celeriac that I can't get to germinate and ground cherries!
Thank you so much for this video, you saved my seeds! Please continue the work you do, it's inspiring.
How about the freezer? I did some in ice cube tray in freezer. Also, could you not just plant the seed out in the Fall?
Thank you for showing us how to cold stratify! I have a bunch of perennial flower seeds I am trying your method with this year.
Do you have recommendations on how to transfer the seeds from the wet paper towels into the growing medium? Is there a way to do this that allows the seeds to sprout before being transferred? (So less thinning later on is needed?
Well, thank you as well!
Are they supposed to germinate while in stratification?
Thank goodness I haven't started strawberries yet
I have question can use cold stratification on Cardoon seeds? Thank you for the information it going help me a lot this year.
Lol my refrigerator is full of seeds.
Thank you for doing this video..::excited to try the Strawberry seeds from your shop!
I’m so glad your channel was suggested to me! We’re here in Michigan too and I need all the gardening tips I can get.
Thanks for this very important information. Will this work in Hawaii?
What if they are just left in outside temperatures over the winter? Seems like the natural process.
Watching video a day after planting asparagus in trays with greenhouse covers and putting under lights. Now they are all outside in the cold hoping that will do it!!
How would you grow lemon seeds for lemons in zone 8
Panhandle Florida. Do you need to do the cold thing too them too. It's already in upper 70's here. Cool at night.
How do you do it never done it before?
