Hello! My name is Bethany and I grow things in my rooftop container garden in Chicago, zone 6a. I am by no means an expert, just someone who enjoys sharing my garden journey.
In today’s video, I want to show you the seeds I plan on sowing in my garden next year! Do you already have your seeds for 2023?

Hey, hope you're well. We've only recently been able to get gomphrena here in the UK so i'm definitely going to be giving those a try. Honestly, I've been buying seeds for next year since the summer and I already have a whole box full of seeds, too many seeds lol😅. Thanks for sharing your picks. Hopefully the weather next year isn't as crazy as this year 🤞.
Have many of the same for 2023! Erin from the impatient gardener loves the Starflowers so I am trying that next year for the dried flower aspect of it.
Will you be growing any vegetables apart from peas? I'm like you, if I love something I want to get multiples of the same thing, in the garden space that means more sweet peas, more cosmos, haha.
I love a seed collection video! It's so exciting to see what others love to grow in their own garden. If I ever had extra space, my dream is to make a "goth-inspired" garden with black, dark purple, burgundy flowers.
I'm fortunate to living in a zone where it's milder so that means I get a longer growing season. This year I plan on sowing cosmos, sunflowers, snapdragons, bachelor buttons. If you can, can you do a video for growing asters in containers? I love those peony-like blooms!
Hi Bethany, you look nice today. I noticed
blanket flower gaillardia in your native seed pack. I grew every type I could find last year. The foliage isn't very pretty but the flowers are gorgeous. Do you start any seeds inside. 🌿☘🍀
Preparation is a bed that plants love to grow from.
If you watch Jack Barnwell from Mackinac Island, there are Hollyhocks I believe growing in the space between the fence and sidewalk at his Grandma's house. They will self seed for you.
I already have most if not all of my seeds for next year. Lots of Seed Sales going on now, and who doesn't like a Good Sale. 😂😂😂
