When do you start your orlaya and feverfew? Fab video as always! ❤
looking great! 🌱
Indian Summer is a biennial Rudbeckia.
Plants have feelings. More so than humans. We can learn from them.
I wasn't aware that Ammobium/Winged Everlasting would send up more shoots. I thought whatever Bloom stalks they sent up was it. Are they cut & come again?
I'm in the same boat. I had to go back to working full time until my cutflower & veggie Farm starts bringing in not of an income. My husband's on 1st shift, I'm working 2nd, because we don't have a reliable babysitter (nor can we afford one) & so I'm sooo pressed for time, that in the morning, after getting breakfast for my son, having him brush his teeth, het him dressed, & play either him for about an hour (because I prioritize seoending quality time with him, he's 4 & I have fertility issues & may not have another & i dont want ro work his childhood away) & then I have just enough time to water everything, & plant about 10 seedlings, & then I have to put everything back up & get ready for work.
I can't wait until I get my greenhouse built because I also have to carry out all of my seedlings & then put them back on the house every day, too. 😩😮💨😞
& although I can't really afford ot, I even offered to pay "friends" & "family" to help me get things planted & I just get 🦗 & I always am there when they need something- a ride, help moving, etc. Im so jealous of Nicole @ flower Hill Farm, she has such supportive friends & family.
Hello from New Zealand. I am looking forward to seeing your flowers grow. 💐🌼
Try saving your own Bells of Ireland seeds! I used to get ~30% germination with purchased seed and now I get ~70-80% with saved seed.
Plants do have feelings
I want to share how much I enjoy your vlogs. Understanding the differences of seedling needs has been super insightful into our variations of success or not 😂. Thank you 🙏
I'm getting to the point where I'm finally making headway shifting my seedlings off their shelves and into the garden. I'm still overwhelmed with how many plants I have left to get into the ground though, it seems endless! Meanwhile it seems like there is less and less garden to fit them all into… I hope your weather stays above freezing soon, you must be desperate to start planting too!
What do you fertilize with?
Morning…. you use container lids for the seedlings, how do you plant the seeds so that they equally distributed?
Why don't your seedlings get leggy with the lights up so high? I always thought you had to have them right above the trays.
The comment about Yarrow out competing the grass is so true. I have got it self seeded in my lawn, and it's just taking over! I don't mind though, since my lawns are pretty diverse anyway 😁
Serena i planted Bells of Ireland in a morning sun only spot and had blooms all summer until frost.
My FAMA germinated pretty badly, last year same problem. Have You experienced that? Your look great!
Where is the puppy for me to comment on?
Will you be doing a live tomorrow or are you overwhelmed catching up from Covid and starting a new season? I’d love to hear how the market and stand did this weekend. (Can’t wait 2 weeks for the vlog;)
Every couple of years to keep yarrow happy, you can dig and divide the plants. I'm doing mine every 3 years. It works!
