Jeri, you are speaking my love language! Antique cottage flowers! 🥰 I literally just transplanted over 200...yes 200 foxglove seedlings last month and they are going to be blooming this year in my garden in full force! 🙌💕🌿🎉 I am so excited!! Foxgloves are my all time favorite flowers. They grow heavily in the wild here in Northwest Washington...and are the things of my childhood memories spent in the foothills of the Cascade mountains. My mother loved her black hollyhocks...and I grow those too in her memory from saved seeds from her garden. 💔💗 She always admired a good jumbled cottage garden...but my dad always loved tidiness and order😅 So, I honor them both with clean borders & riots of cottage flowers😁 Gardening is such hard work...but the most rewarding too. Thanking God for my garden, especially in these strange times.What a blessing to keep ones hands busy during lockdown. Thank-you again for your wonderful & informative videos! I hope your garden continues to bless you richly with many more blooms to come!🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Sound like a foxglove Heaven to me! Your climate is so good for them. I am trying the black Hollyhocks again; mixed with a pale pink in the garden would be stunning. Gardening IS such hard work, but don't we just love it?!
I just sat down to rest and this popped up at the perfect time, our two middle children were injured saving a horse that was caught in barbed wire and the past two days have been exhausting, I am thankful for peaceful videos to watch and God’s protection their injuries could have been much worse.
sending blessings for you and your family. I certainly understand what kind of injuries they received, animals that are hurt and feel trapped are dangerous. you must be so proud that they jumped in to do the right thing. You raised them right. Meanwhile there is the worry that us parents must do (hugs) .
My four year old little daughter Orla Florence watched this with me. We are growing foxgloves for the first time. She helps me garden every year. We have veggies and cottage plants like dahlias from last year, sweet peas, straw flowers, cosmos and many others including some hollyhocks from seed which we found wild last autumn. We live on the back of fields near a farm south of the uk on the Isle of Wight. I am so glad I have found your channel, we loved watching the ducklings also. Much love to you and your beautiful garden and chicks
I am 62 years old and am just now beginning to learn gardening. I’ve always admired those who are gardeners. I watch your videos all the time! How I wish I had your knowledge and experience!! Please don’t stop creating these beautiful videos. I feel like have had tea with you your bunnies and one of my favorite artist...Beatrice Potter. Thank you for sharing your home your gardens and your art!!
I always think of myself as an amateur gardener, I have a lot of hits and misses. Just happy for the chance to guide other amateur gardeners through the maze!
You sound so poetic,what a beautiful way to start a video,also the view.. I have just found your video & im so happy i did.. I would love a garden like this,its beautiful..i haven't been gardening for long about three years,there is so much to learn,you never stop learning.. Thankyou for taking us on such a journey ✌🏼🦋🌻☮✌🏼🦋🌻☮
I'm learning to garden and I'm pretty sure my absolute favorite flowers are all the antique ones so this is a real treat. I'm trying to grow black hollyhocks rn...they're so dramatic. I hope they stay alive
I love the antique flowers, especially the hollyhocks. Reminds me of my grandparents' garden. Grandpa had lovely, perfectly weeded rows of vegetables, but the section that belonged to Grandma was full of hollyhocks, African daisies, morning glories, and lots of self-seeding flowers that grew here and there with wild abandon. We weren't allowed to go near Grandpa's vegetable garden unless we were accompanied by an adult, but we could play among Grandma's flowers and make all of the hollyhock ladies that we wanted. So many happy memories.
Both gardens must have been wonderful, and I think the gardening style of your grandfolks was superbly appropriate for the plant they were growing. I do like a tidy vege bed and an exuberant flower bed.
Moved into our home here about 10 years ago and there was only a few things growing... Many overgrown. But, there was this one plant I wasn't sure of so I let it alone... My goodness was I thrilled! Hollyhocks. They have nearly taken over everything but they're so pretty and my pride and joy!
Another lovely video, Thank You Jeri. I am starting three new cottage gardens this year, I have made the beds and planted a few perennials that I moved from different gardens, but hollyhocks and foxgloves are two of the plants that are going in these new beds. I have Hollyhocks in other areas, but this will be my first time growing Foxgloves, so I am excited. I purchased a root which I have not received yet, only because our season is so short and I really wanted to get one going. I will start seeds too. Almost every antique plant that you listed will be in my gardens, as I too love the old- fashioned plants. Dale from Canada
Another beautiful tea with you! Loved the dishes too!! I’ve had antique hollyhocks in my garden for 20 years. They seem to move around from year to year. They even made their way across the street and bloomed between my neighbors driveways in such a small space. For some reason my black ones didn’t reseed. I am finally going to have foxglove this year, and I’m soooo excited! I’m seeded them last year, so this year they already have blooms developing on them. I just want you to know how much I enjoy watching your lovely videos ❣️👩🌾🌷
I use an old glass salt/pepper table shaker to help spread my tiny seeds. Like the old fashioned type shaker, got from the dollar store. I even save seeds in the glass and mark on the bottle. Make seeds air tight in baggies, the tiny type used for jewelry.
I make little “envelopes” for my seeds from index cards. This way I can “file” them in a little box. I also save pretty seed heads in cute clear jars and out them in cabinets with my pretty dishes. So much fun and a nice project to do in my she shed/shop.
Jeri, Totally enjoyed your video content and thoroughly enjoyed your idea of sharing a spot of tea with your husband along with a totally healthy tuna salad. Nice 👏🌞👍🍎🙏
I love this video! It's 2yrs ago but it's brand new to me! I planted these last yr my first yr planting and I had all my Hollyhocks bloomed and soo tall!!
I just love your video’s, I learn so much from you, you are so inspiring. I love your style of gardening, just beautiful. Like you I love pink primrose, I have it all over my gardens. I also love Holly Hocks I also grow lots of these. Because of you I’m for sure going to grow Fox Glove in the spring. I live in Vegas so I think it will do good then. Thank you so much for all that you do.
I was wondering what you think of planting the Fox Gloves in Nov. and growing them for spring. Then cutting them back and collecting seed before the heat of the summer? Our springs are beautiful, right around 75 degrees. It’s crazy right now Vegas has not hit 100 degrees. By now we are over 104 degrees. My garden is loving it and so am I hehehe.
@@myfairytreasures That could work but let them produce the seed before you cut them back. They will drop thousands of tiny seed and you can collect the seed as well. My brother lives in Vegas and he says he can't take another hot summer, so he's selling out and moving to Colorado.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Ok sounds good, I cant wait to collect all of those seeds. Its been a cooler summer but it is still hot, I don't blame him. I just received a bunch of seeds from EVER WILD FARMS. Thank you for telling us about that place, the prices for how much seed you get is awesome. And I love the seed packets, beautiful.
Love this. I've been disappointed because I can't work in my new garden space due to the insistent rain and bitter weather. We've had a couple of warmer days and I was able to transplant some daylilies and plant a peony and some bee balm I purchased on line. I needed this video to spur me on. Brighter days ahead. Thank you for sharing your little duckling. My mama Robin has at least 2 babies I keep checking on. They are nesting on my back porch.
I find that foxgloves grow easily from seeds. This year they came up beautiful and seem like they will be blooming soon. Im so excited to have them in my garden beds.
I adore Foxgloves but for some reason I have never had them in my garden, We live in Native Forest of NZ which does not get a lot of Sunshine so I have a very thin garden at the road end of drive mostly filled with Herbs , self seeded , even have Tomatoes pop up out of the compost we add to the garden just from tomatos we buy and also Pumpkins in the same way , I love to let them all go to seed and also watch the Bees dance about the flowers ... just recently I noticed a tiny plant popping up on the edge of our gravel driveway and I knew it was Foxglove , so amazing as I have not seen any in our area x...was so delighted I carefully removed it and popped in a pot and now it is in our tiny courtyard ...I feel it is so a Magical fairy plant and She makes me so happy ...and then I see this xxx
Hello Jeri, what a joy to watch your videos! I'm here in Holland and being a beginner in gardening. Because of the pandemic I am at home a lot, so for the first time I dig my fingers in the dirt.. so thank you for your lessons.
Hello! I've been anxiously awaiting a new video and today's did not disappoint! Gardening, antique flowers, cooking and a tea party! Please keep them coming. I so enjoy your style of storytelling and sharing your know how!
Thank you for all the gardening tips you gave out today I really do appreciate it everything is always so beautiful in your yard. You are such an awesome person just love your videos. You put so much time in life and everything you do
Oh, I haven't been watching much since this last summer, and I've missed your videos! I love, love, love your gardens! I discovered the joy of hollyhocks a few years ago when my mom gave me some extra starts she had. I didn't know much about them beforehand. Such elegant flowers! I must, absolutely must, plant some on my new property we bought this summer (hence why I haven't been watching much - been busy on my new farm!). I'm catching up on all the videos I've missed...
Lovely video. My wonderful Hubby ordered me a 1 pound bag of English Breakfast tea from Harney and Sons. It is fantastic. Your baby duck is precious. God Bless and have a beautiful night.
Thanks, Jeri, for your encouragement. I love your life style , your love of nature , your love of beauty and of art. Please keep on sharing them with us. 👌❤️🌹😘👍
What a beautiful garden you have Mrs. Jeri. Thank you for sharing with us. I am in zone 9b and every time I plant anything it gets eaten up by deer, Jack rabbit's and squirrels.
All the wonderful sounds.... scraping a carrot, pealing potato.... hollyhocks and lilac are the flowers of my youth. Oh my what a delightful spread you have today... i wish I could share a cuppa with my 93yo mom too, but alas i am not allowed during pandemic :(
Thank you Jeri, I will be trying the carrot soup and will find room in my garden for some foxglove and hollyhock (love the history). Antique flower seeds a-shopping I shall go! As always, a very enjoyable video.
Thank you Jeri for teaching about the antique flowers,such a joy. I so love your copper cook ware and pottery mixing bowls, don't want to leave out the beautiful tea pot. In all my visits to Antique shops I have not seen any like some of yours.
ENJOYED....will be planting foxglove and hollyhocks in the Spring. The Carrot Soups and the Tuna looks tasty. Thanks for sharing. Learn something for each of your videos. Thanks again.
