I’m so excited for my garden I made sure to put all kinds of different flowers like sunflowers in the back and cosmos, asters yarrow and zinnias in the front and side.
Im building a planters box bcz I always wanted one, but then I realized I have no idea how to properly plant anything. I’ve been watching many videos and I must say your instructions are amazing and refreshing. I’m doing this!! Thanks. Never thought I’d be sub’n to a garden channel 👍
Yes! Thank you. You teach us soo well. I always give my flower showers I thought it was good for them to be watered. Wow! I’m leaning so much. Thank you greatly
Bobbie Coburn thankyou! When I worked full-time in my parents greenhouse my mom always told me my containers were too weird and no one would buy them. And they were always the first ones to sell! Ha ha
i've always put a pair of small geraniums in a 3 foot rectangular planter and wondered why it never filled out like everyone else's. You've changed my life! @@TheLawrenceGardenFarm
Hi Casey, I’m also new to your channel. Can you advise where you bought your Osmacote pods? I purchase some this Spring, but they came from the U.K., and took forever to arrive, I thought if you purchased yours here in the states, maybe you wouldn’t mind sharing this with us? I’d like more, thank you so much for your wonderful advice on pinching back, my Coleus will appreciate it a ton!! I always heard to take out the flower spike, but never about the little buds, that is an awesome tip...lol no pun intended!!!
Lisa Broussard Januska Hi Lisa! Around here you can get the Osmocote anywhere. At a Lowe’s, Home Depot, Walmart or even online! I don’t know if you will be able to get it from any of those stores? It’s a very common addition to your garden around here, so it’s easy to get. I hope this helps you! Thank you so much for subscribing❤️🙏
The Lawrence Network Thank you for your quick response. I can buy the typical Osmacote graduals, but not the pods, are you referring to the pods, specifically?
Thank You so much! Going to go back and watch again and make notes😀. What zone do you live in? And I’ve been gardening for years and love Osmocote but have never heard of Osmocote cubes. Interesting
Hi Wandy! I use Osmocote here's a link for it if you wanted to purchase some- amzn.to/2ugnB4K I only use it on flowering plants, I use it in pots and the flower beds. It's amazing! Let me know how you like it!
The Lawrence Network . Thanks for your quick response. Almost at the end of the video you put in some bigger fertilizer. You said you will put like 6 or 7. You also said they were time fertilizers. Which ones are they? I did look at the site you sent me. But doesnt look like what you put at the end.
Wandy Gonzalez those were the time release cubes by osmocote. They’re the same thing as the granules but just in a cube shape. Those were used only Bc I just ran out of the granules. They work the same and when I start a container, I prefer the granules Bc the are evenly mixed into the whole container, rather than just a few spots. I hope this helps you!
I have 3 urns in my front yard...what's a good plant for those? They are in front of Areca Palms....like a flower bed if you will...I just want to add color...
so if you put in osmocote, do you still fertilize when you water?? i heard another person on another video about hanging petunia planters, say that you need to fertilize everyday... that seems a bit much.. and i do want bushiness :) so if i put in osmocote, how often do i use my jack's 20-20-20?
MaBriz Use osmocote as your time release fertilizer, you still have to use your water soluble fertilizer on top of that every 7 to 10 days in the beginning. Once you get to the end of the season and things are really big and rooted, you’re going to want to do it every 4 to 7 days. This is because the roots become root bound, and they’re losing nutrients so by fertilizing more often you’re giving them those nutrients they need more often which helps them last longer. Osmocote is only going to work for up to three months, so Osmocote will also not be in action at the end of the season when you start upping your fertilizer. There are some people that will fertilize every single day, but from what I’ve seen, those people tend to use a very light amount of fertilizer mixed into their water. I’m not saying that what they are doing is wrong, I’m only here to share what I do. I show you what my baskets and containers and gardens look like throughout the whole season and by the end of the season, and I share with you the techniques that I use to get them there. It’s up to you to decide what method you would like to use. The method I use I’ve learned from a lifetime of growing up and working in my parents greenhouse business, and they are known for monster baskets! Thank you so much for watching, I hope I helped you and have a great evening!
gaby I got a few of these about 4 years ago from a professional supplier company online and now I can’t find them anywhere! So I have been hanging onto these like gold ha ha
gaby I ordered a Dramm red head 1100 water breaker and a brass on/off valve, a little pricey, but works like a charm....they screwed directly onto my hose, from Amazon.
