I successfully planted the individual bulbs in small pots and now have the big stocks grow but not sure next step to get to flowering stage. Searched endless videos and not one gets past the stock growing stage 😫 Can I repot a few now into a bigger pot and then what?
@@_Happysowinghappygrowing if i wait for the seeds to turn brown will they still be ok the stalks fell down in the wind and the pods are green i have kept them i was just wondering of they will still come up of i wait for them to dry off
I use peat free compost mixed with perlite it works well but a good quality peat free compost on its own will be fine good luck please let me know how you get on o I please my cuttings in the shade this time of year
I cant actually see where you are cutting as your pruners are off camera ..where on the stem do I cut ? And please , no offence, can you speak a little slower?
i use plastic coated wire and depending on how much weight it is going to support weave several strands together i drill into the bricks not the mortar and then use 2 to 3 inch screws
I love lupins I was late at buying the plant this year they were beautiful red the bees absolutely love them they are so pretty. My question is I’ve cut them back today and took the furry pods off. I’ve popped open a couple and there is no seeds . I’m only new to gardening if anyone could point me in right direction . When’s best to put them in the soil do you just put them in where you want them to grow . Thank you 🌸
i wait until the seed pods turn black then you know that they are ready to harvest i have a video showing you how to collect the seeds i hope that you find it useful please let me know how you get on good luck 👍
I was recently told that beer traps actually attract slugs and snails to your garden. They can smell it from way off and make a beeline for your garden.
@@_Happysowinghappygrowing that’s what I thought. I have enough problems with the slugs and snails of my own, I really don’t need to be inviting over the slugs and snails from the rest of the street for an all night party 😂
@@_Happysowinghappygrowing I’m having a real problem with slugs I put copper round the pots they still got in the only thing that worked was beer in a pot I got some gold mesh to tie round the pots I’ll see how that goes even in my little greenhouse they ate all my seedlings that were shooting up so much rain here,yes petunias are lovely.
Sorry to hear that i have used an empty jam jar dug into the soil so it is level then pour in the bottom 1 to 2 inches of strong beer or larger them leave over night and like magic you will have lots of slugs and snails 🐌
30% of my Farmer Gracy bulbs did not germinate the first year, 70% for this year, and this does not come from my soil because I have bulbs that have been in the ground for 20 years and are still flowering... I do not recommend farmer gracey....it's disposable
this is my first year ordering dahlias and begonias and every single one has grown brilliantly i can't recommend them enough sorry about yiur experience
That hedge is coming on isn’t it? We are heading into winter here now and had a really bad time this year with whitefly and earwigs then shieldbugs/stink bugs,still plenty of flowers and growth again though. I don’t want to spray but will need to next spring. My hollyhock seems to keep returning every year,hard to get rid of now but I love the self seeders. What are you spraying them with and for? Bugs? Rust? I have found buying poppy seed for cooking from Indian/Asian stores and tossing that out brings some beautiful flowers I didn’t know there were perennial poppies though I have hostas hope they come back when it gets warm here,they take a while to come on so hoping they do spread out. Have you found that to be the case? Forget me nots are lovely I just let ‘em grow where they choose and where I find them. I have some very new lupins I’ve put in and hope come spring they’ll do a good job. Please keep posting the lupins I’d love to see how they go. Cosmos self seeds for me here but they grow where ever they like and I just let them it can get a bit wild but I like it that way. They are trying to ban foxgloves where I am. It’s sad because it’s so beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more of you and hoping you pop up more regularly now I’ve commented And thank you! It is lovely to watch your garden come on as mine is going to sleep. Aquilegias are my absolute favourite,such a fairy flower. Those peonies are gorgeous !I’ve had some in for a while but nothing is happening Do you think I should move them and plant them a bit more shallow to get em to flower? I had to get rid of my ivy it was eating my house and coming in through the power points.
First i spray for lily beetle and greenfly and whitefly i also spray my hollyhocks for rust and my Petunias & lupins for powdery mildew it can quite a problem if i dont spray regularly i use a liquid i will have tocget back to you with a brand name sorry i love any flowers that self seeded i think it gives my garden a more natural look thanks for watching and subscribing it really helps my channel i look forward to hearing from you on my next video
Hello! You often don’t show up in my feed even though I’m subbed and have notifications on but I have seen you today! Watching now excited for the catch up
Love the colour of the petunias, can’t wait to see them when they’re grown. I have just planted some sweet peas in a container, should I start feeding them straight away, I know there’s some feed in the potting soil?😀🌼
