@lisaruiz149 Год назад

I've got 2 lavender to plant. My problem is that now what was a nice sunny garden, (very small garden), is now shaded due to neighbors adding a fence to their yard. They went into the garden area on our side of the fence, added fencing, now my garden only gets sun in the middle part (walk way). Huge oak tree in our front yard, that doesn't help because it's too shady so I don't think it'll get enough sunlight. Yet, on the other side of the yard, our crape myrtles, lots of sunlight, but much further away from our garden. :'( Any help?

@agentbossyboots Год назад

I’m also in Texas-san Antonio. Started lavender from seed and planted early. I think it will do well once it is established. I’m doing a few different varieties as an experiment.

@adriankap2978 5 месяцев назад

@@lisaruiz149 I’ll be planting mine in zone 7B with AC Afinity fabric grow bags so I can move them around when needed. Plus I have underground critters that would eat everything I planted so I put down hardware cloth and set the bags on top. Try to see if pot mobility works and be a possible option to get them more sun. My neighbor had beautiful hostas for years until the neighbor cut down all their trees that provided shade. They had to move them quickly and most survived. So I can see how disappointing that would be. Maybe if you’re on good terms with them see if they’ll allow you to remove fence boards during the growing season then put them back up during the winter. Sounds crazy but if you tell them you’ll split whats harvested with them. If you ask, it’s 50/50 they’ll say yes but if you don’t it’s 100% no.

@petersawyer8044 4 года назад

I've grown various types of lavender for well over 30 years. By far the most reliable, easiest and hardiest are two varieties Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote’ and 'Munstead'. I've had these bordering a long path for a good 10 years. They are unaffected by frost, snow and pests and can easily be hard pruned after flowering to keep them compact. (If you have frosts in your district the worst lavender is any of the 'french lavender' types imo).

I live in 5a (Michigan) and have had excellent results with both the Hidcote and Phenomenal varieties. I have extremely poor sandy soil with strong cold winter winds and they grow with absolutely no care needed except a hard pruning in the early fall and burlap wrap in the winter. They are the strongest performers by far in my garden and the bees love them!

I got a pleasant surprise recently. TWO random lavender plants that I had planted months ago and never grew...actually sprouted and are growing in my magickal garden outside! They are still small, but they smell amazing. It instantly calms my anxiety. Lavender is the only plant that has instantly gotten rid of my anxiety upon smelling it, specifically and especially Lander Angustofolia. I think its English Lavender. I am very hopeful to grow it into a large bush and harvest the flowers regularly and make lemon-lavender cakes and Sleep Sachets

@jimbojules4907 4 года назад

Hey Kevin, have you ever considered making a video on the benefits of choosing native plants? 90% of insects can only eat plants that they coevolved with, so natives are essential to supporting healthy ecosystems. As the interest in growing local 'grows' :), choosing companion pollinator plants that evolved within local ecosystems are essential for supporting biodiversity. A great book that speaks about the importance of choosing native is "Bringing Nature Home" by Doug Tallamy. Love the videos, thanks for spreading the good word! ~Jimbo

That's the key to growing lavender...neglect (or pretty close to it). All they need is the right soil and location and you can't go wrong. The biggest mistake I think people make is not choosing a lavender that is suitable for their climate and not planting in lean well-drained soil.

Living in the Rockies, I’ve learned from local commercial lavender fields.... to never buy lavender with flowers in shape of pineapple. That’s for moist CA gardens. Lavender Smells better and works great in dry areas. I have many that are over 20 years old. This guy is great, but I’d watch other lavender videos. Example: High Country Garden.com or buy Bader’s book, The Lavender Lover’s Handbook, best book on the subject. Tells you which lavender for cooking, scent, medicinal, crafts, appropriate zone etc. Plus book is beautiful. Careful, many lavender books don’t focus on actual gardening, but on arts and crafts.Lavender is like Roses....a complex world.

I grew loads of it in coastal South Georgia. I started with a nice soil mix that I made because the soil is Sandy or clay here. Then fertilize in early spring with am9 month granular fertilizer. I had several planted in different areas of the yard. The ones that did best were in full sun most all of the day and regular watering- we had an irrigation system. The ones with not enough sun didn’t flower very much and were more leggy. I did not prune it or baby it at all. I had other herbs and treated them the same and they were abundant.

If they’re doing well in buckets, maybe they weren’t getting enough water in the severe heat. They’re drought tolerant but still need some water. Containers typically hold moisture in unless they are grow bags.

I have lavender plants for three years now. I live in zone 7B. Plants didn't die in the winter. It gets all day long sun light and I planted in the light soil in the pot. Pruned in the early spring. So far I didn't get the flower yet. Don't know what to do. Thank you for the information.

I had no problems growing lavender in a pot in snow but now way down south I have lost 4 plants. Maybe the soul was wet. Going to try again. Thanks

I really need to get lots going. I use organic lavender oil to treat my insomnia, and I like drench my pillow, it works. Do have clay soil but will try your suggestion, fingers crossed 🤞 thank you

I'm needing tips for my container tomatoes & strawberries. This is my first time trying it. I am really enjoying it. Idk why it never crossed my mind before now. Oh my 3rd question is can someone please tell me what tomato is used to fix "fried green tomatoes"? I have never had the pleasure but it sounds fantastic.

I use any kind of tomatoes, even red tomatoes! But I’m sure some are better for frying than others. Red are kind of mushy.

Thank you 🙏 I’ve tried to grow lavender over the years. It always died, now I know why. I was overwatering it

Well that explains why I had problems with my lavender before. But this year I actually have put it in a pot.

Thanks for a concise guide to lavender planting and maintenance. How about the same format for crepe myrtles?

Thank you. But do you fertilize when planting? Also would love to see a vid on Rosemary.

I’m in Ontario, Canada, I’m really interested in growing lavender. I started with some seeds a few weeks ago, I’m wondering if I should even bother trying to sprout them and maybe just buy a big plant, given my climate. Thanks for sharing!

@dhunshahanand7883 4 года назад

How did you sprout the seeds? In the soil or in a wet tissue paper?

@CourtyGirl 4 года назад

Dhun Shahanand I have them in damp paper towel in my fridge currently, for cold stratifying. 😊

I’ll definitely be moving mine into the sun after this, thanks!

I happen to live in zone 5b and I actually have a pretty big lavender bush thats able to survive outside through the entire year.

Newbie gardener here . I just recently planted 3 more lavender plants to put in my yard last week. My question is if I mistakenly bought moisture retaining soil should I add mulch to it to help the lavender grow ? I’ve been watering it twice weekly due to the 90 - 100 degree temperatures in Atlanta.

@jeniffers3298 4 года назад

More videos like this please! I just started and I need all the tips I can get.

@maryjohnson1604 3 года назад

I just bought my first lavender plant. I'm great for killing plants. Its potted in miracle grow potting soil. It's in my apartment to control bugs. Thanks for sharing this.

I am in zone 4. The end of July I got 4 Munstead Lavender. I put them in large pots - local soil is very dry, hard, rocky, sandy. I mixed it with organic soil (from a bag). I put gravel in the bottom of the pots for drainage. They are on the south side of the house. Two of the plants are doing well, the other two are struggling - look like they are dying. We have had 90+ degree weather. I have watered every evening. I’m not sure why the two are not doing well.
