Moving from dry, sunny southern California to seasonally interesting Michigan (h zone 6a) and its explosion of planting possibilities has inspired Nalinne and Valen to delve into the - sometimes complicated - world of gardening and to vlog what they have learned along the way!

Hi! Thank you for making us discover this plant! I had never heard about it, it’s beautiful. Do you happen to know if their pollen is poisonous to pets (as lilies are)? It’s always my concern when adding a new plant to my garden 🤗 have a great day and thanks again for sharing this beauty!
Thats a great question that I hadn't thought about! I didn't know the answer at first, but,after doing some quick research it looks like all parts are toxic to pets - flower, leaf, stem and bulb. Thank you for the question!
If you'd like to watch a video tutorial in which I actually prune the geraniums, click here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vqziyYgVCLw.htmlsi=a9iIM40g3U1Ogrhs
Now that we have returned from Europe, I have plenty of geranium plants on which to demonstrate how to deadhead geraniums! You cam watch the video from Nuremburg, Germany here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cFldQwchBpE.html
Hi Steve, Would you mind letting me know what about the sound was off? On my end I hear my voice, which which is admittedly soft but I can hear it fine, and the sounds of birds in the background. Thank you
@@GrowingHomeGardening - whenever valuable information is given out it's very important to have good diction, otherwise if people can't hear what is being said, it rather combats the whole exercise and good knowledge together with good intentions get wasted. The range of tone on your output was lacking mid & top range, meaning that some of the words used were incomplete as some of the frequencies were inaudible. As in: if you played a program on your TV with no mid or treble? I do hope you realise that this criticism is only constructive and it only applies in parts of your video. I must also thank you for the useful bits that I picked up by watching your visual.
If you know me, you know I love art and photography! Since my son and I are on a European tour, we have, of course, been obsessed with comparing and contrasting the plants here with the ones in our own states of Michigan and California. But, I have also been intrigued by many unique details among the architecture of buildings, including the door knobs and knockers! This is a photographic study of the many different door hardware styles in Bologna and Venice. I hope you enjoy!
I know it seems barbaric, but your irises with be fine! Leaving the leaves longer will strengthen the rhizomes and most likely make them grow more rhizome puppies, but in my experience, irises are strong and do fine with early leaf pulling, just as well as if you wait.
Oh my heavens!! I always thought the green pod had to die on these. Lmbo!! 😂oops. PS… Warsaw, IL?? If so, I am super close!! Aka so close that our sports teams play theirs.
Hi! Deadheading petunias by removing those green seed pod "pockets" is optional since they self clean, but it doesn't hurt to remove them to help them focus more energy on flowers. Weare actally traveling and visiting family in Warsaw, Poland :)
Hi, technically spring or early autumn before rain so that they can re-establish themselves. But I transplant and divide any time I need to, really. Just know that if your hosta has leaves when you transplant, the likelihood of them getting damaged is high, which is no problem for the plant itself, it just may make it look scraggly for the rest of the growing season.
@@GrowingHomeGardening I wonder if I overwatered them or too much sun. I was so looking forward to seeing them in my garden. I just removed them today because now they just look like 80 year old grey hair. 😳
They do love full sun, but you could be right about the overwatering. Still weird they died so quickly after you bought them! You may be able to get your money back if the store you bought them from has a guarantee and you have the receipt! You may have to bring the plants back to the store with you though if you still have them.
Thank you to my beautiful cousin Ania for letting me pick at her petunias so I could make this petunia video tutorial while on vacation! Aniu, I hope your pretty pink petunias are happy campers! 💗
To be fair, some of the video is talking and the end is enjoying some of my other plant's progress :) But, in the end, cutting back the old stalks is what its all about. It took longer to do in real life though, with the filming, anyway.
Finally, a video showing a close up of exactly where to cut! Thank you for showing several close up shots, i have a Candle Larkspur that's finished blooming. I saw many videos where they were cut all the way down to the ground for deadheading and several showing to cut the spent stalks off. I'm too scared to cut the whole plant down to the ground so ill try cutting the spent stalks
This video was so helpful! Thank you for posting it! Your shears look so nice - can you please share what brand you use? I need to replace my shears and I like the style of the tool you use.
Thank you! I believe these are the micro tip non-stick pruning snips from Ace Hardware. They work great and can last if you don't use them on stems or sticks that are too thick...like I have, lol ✂️👍
Hi! Yes, eventually, but because the leaves brown anyway (they have quite a quick turn-around) it won't matter. This is a totally optional step to take. Hope that helps!
@@GrowingHomeGardening I ended up cutting mine yesterday because a lot of the leaves were yellowing so instead of pulling all those leaves out, I trimmed them so they’re all nice and green now. I’m so glad I’m not the only one that trims them and glad to know it won’t hurt the plant. Hopefully they don’t brown for awhile. 😊

What kind of fertilizer do you use on your Violas? I have some growing like crazy in bright sun, and then some not so much lol. So strange to me, but I’m hoping to propagate some so I have more. I love them, especially next to my huge beautiful waxy Begonias!!! ❤❤❤
Personally, I use Miracle Grow. They do like slightly acidic soil and sun if watered well, but nit overwatered. I read online that they tend to need additional boron, but I haven't done that myself. Hope this helps!
Hello all! If you decide to prune at the end of the growing season in fall, you will be able to enjoy the evening primrose's leaves which can turn to a bright crimson red! You can then cut off the stems, as I demonstrated in this video, later in autumn or even in late winter or early spring! I hope you enjoyed this video and if you haven't yet, please give a like and subscribe. Happy pruning!
Funny you should say that because that's exactly what I said when I was gifted this flower for transplant! Turns out this is the 'evening primrose' or Oenothera, not the 'common primrose' Primula vulgaris as I always had thought myself. Turns out there are about 600 varieties of primrose. Who knew? 🤷♀️
