These are the top 5 mistakes I see folks making related to Cool Flowers, don't be one of them!

1. Not knowing your first & last frost dates, along with your lowest expected winter temperature

2. Not preparing your garden beds ahead of time

3. Not knowing how each seed prefers to be started (indoors or outside, direct sow vs transplants)

4. Not providing the right environmental conditions seed sprouting and optimal seedling growth (light, temperature, air, and water) 

5. Failing to realize that you do NOT have to start all seeds yourself (plugs are an option!) 

Avoid these common mistakes to save time, money, and most importantly, your sanity!
