I feel your pain. I haven't been physically able to walk much, in the past three months. Instead of pulling the roots out, I would have left them in. Easier for me to cut the tops and roots become soil.
I won't eat pawpaws. They have annonacin in them, which is neurotoxic. Pawpaws have been found to cause atypical parkinsonism. Probably why deers won't touch them
Hey! Great presentation for 'the visual learner' as you write on your blog! Many thanks for sharing, I'm looking to build one of these for next spring. Much love from Stockholm, Sweden.
Thanks for sharing! Just so happens this is also my first year planting bulbs and im using the lasagna method. I got plenty of crocus, muscari, and waaaaay too many tulips. Happy gardening!
Yay bulbs!!! A few years ago I planted a ton of crocus and muscari bulbs in the lawn in my backyard. It's so fun to have color that early in the year, and by the time I actually need to mow the lawn, they're done blooming.
Jerusalem artichokes are a great tuber to plant for food and beautiful. I so understand planting for food. You so inspired me to do a cattle panel greenhouse. Mine has lettuce, kale, Brussel sprouts and cabbage 💚
Thanks for sharing! The planting distance recommendations are for in-ground planting, and even then, they tend to be too far apart. In pots you can def plant bulbs to where they are practically touching. Closely spaced bulbs will create a fuller display. There's no need to space far apart espec since these bulbs won't be left in the same pots untouched year after year to 'naturalize' as they would in the ground. You'll learn a lot from your first try, and then go forward you'll be able to see which bulbs mix n match well together with their different heights, colors, textures, and bloom times. Have fun!
I gave up after trying bulbs in pots twice. Can’t seem to crack the code. I have a ton of bulbs in the landscape though. Drumstick alliums are one of my favorites! Also love all of the fritillarias…they’re gorgeous and elegant. PS Hope the Terra cotta doesn’t crack during winter 😬 PPS Hyacinth can cause skin reactions for some people. I’ve never experienced it, but many people do.
Love muscari (also known as grape hyacinths) soooo pretty and add beautiful texture. ALSO you can actually grow dahlias from seed. You won’t know what the flowers will look like because they won’t be true to type BUT it’s a LOT less expensive and you can discover new varieties. Not for everyone but if you don’t mind a surprise it’s very fun.
@@thecottagepeach I found them for a great price on the Eden Brothers website. I'm going to put them all around my garden area and front yard because the hummingbirds and bees love them too
Your newest subscriber. Hugely helpful advice. Planting 1700 cloves today - for the first time ever, and just finished doing all of that - quickly and easily thanks to your tips, and planted 200. Will finish the balance tomorrow. Love your channel. Instruction + inspiration = the results I want. Keep it coming.
Hi, I really liked the idea of the Q&A video, I enjoyed watching it, I live in a tropical country so I can grow all year round, when I finish growing my chili peppers I would love to copy your idea of a tea garden. 😊🌱
It’s a tricky area to film without revealing too much of my location unfortunately 😩 and things are pretty much done for the season over there. If I can figure it out next summer I will!
well, what's still growing? 7a/7b MASS: Still growing some potato, sweet potato, lettuce, and some herbs. ALSO, my Brussels Sprouts. Peas are the only thing left at the Cape Garden except for my in ground Scarborough Fair garden (Parsley Sage, Rosemary and thyme!!!) Back home, TODAY, I pulled the last pepper plants. Cukes long gone. Also, I have two last tomato (out of about 40) plants left. Garlic recently went into their bed. Beets and my fall planting of my carrot are going strong. And my raspberry is still producing! Maybe a half bowl every day, and a full bowl every three days. I need to deal with the dahlia tubers, bring my geranium indoors, and more. But, as you know we've had a week of amazing 70/80 degree days! Go figure?
@@thecottagepeach Brussels are a FAVE for roasting! The BIG flaw w/ them, for me, is the LONG time to harvest... BUT, they do grow in cold, frost, and even light freeze!
