OMG Eli, your face when Kate suggests mixing them up 😂😂😂 love how you’ve got brackets on your shed. It makes it look so much nicer than just a shed.

@eliandkate Год назад

Awwwwww It’s not a bad wee shed

@caroleferreira2846 Год назад

Love watching you two work together. I am going to make up a hanger or two now that I know how many plants to put in my basket. Your little kitty is so adorable.

@eliandkate Год назад

she looks adorable but she's a plant eater!!!! she trashed my tulips!

@GardenerScott Год назад

Lovely petunias! Kate did a great job and a hanging basket is a great way to show them off.

@eliandkate Год назад

We filmed that this weekend and already we have blooms Just shows what a wee change of scenery can do

@Yankeesista203 Год назад

You guys have the cutest back yard! I love petunias! Haven't grown them for some years because they get attacked so bad with worms! Purple is my color! The deep purple with the white tips are gorgeous!

@eliandkate Год назад

awwww thank you 😍😍😍😍

@christinamoxon Год назад

You're absolutely right about the 'setup costs' of growing your own. The past few years have been phenominally expensive. But I can see the costs going down each year, as I now have the pots, containers, grow lights, seed trays etc to get me going each year. Now, it's just compost expenses and I'm not there yet with our compost bin. I love your baskets and I'm looking forward to seeing them bloom and thrive. Thanks for sharing. xxx

@eliandkate Год назад

It’s very Much about the joy and not the cost isn’t it? 😁

@oreopaksun2512 Год назад

Witness! We heard Kate say seed starting was easy! Yay! Thanks for the tip on how to make the basket liner; good 2nd use of all those compost bags. Happy growing.

@eliandkate Год назад

Ha ha ha I missed her saying that

@tennesseenana4838 Год назад

I really enjoy watching you two gardening together. You gave several good tips I'll need to remember. Will help if I write them down! I also have hanging baskets with petunias in them. The other day I saw a hummingbird there either getting a tiny bug or drinking nectar from the flowers.

@eliandkate Год назад

oh that's cool. I'd love to have things like that here :D

@allison5363 Год назад

aww how nice to see you guys in the week , i am busy building my green house that came this week its going ok . loving Kate’s journey x

@eliandkate Год назад

ohhhhhhhh exciting... new greenhouse

@jennyjohnson9012 Год назад

Love seeing you both working together, and looking forward to your display. I'm still pricking out my petunias. I think I'll still be doing them this time next year!! 🤣🤣

@eliandkate Год назад

Ha ha ha Kate says I KNOW!!!!! 😂

@kimlewis5429 Месяц назад

Perlite for drainage, vermiculite for some water retention, and those awesome gel crystals .. I can't praise enough for hanging baskets in hot Climates !!!

@juliemclaughlin68 5 месяцев назад

A joy to watch as always. X

@cpoco Год назад

Got a touch of plant envy there. We're getting into our colder months and even things in the greenhouse seem to be slowing down (though I do have some broccoli seedlings starting to come up... so that should be nice). I'm looking forward to Spring as I'm feeling a bit more confident with the next seasons cropping thanks to channels like yours, thanks a bunch! :D

@eliandkate Год назад

just look forward to when I'm complaining about the cold and you are just seeing live happen in your garden :D We'll keep each other upbeat.

@craigdick8293 Год назад

I'm heading to Klondyke this weekend to get some compost to hang my first every baskets, all grown in the greenhouse from seeds with my 2 year old. Great videos, lots of inspiration and hand tips, keep up the good work.

@eliandkate Год назад

woohoooo Craig.... I wanna hear updates!

@wendybartlett6717 Год назад

Love Stars and stripes and do them every year. I also do Hula Hoop but I'm confused now (doesn't take much to do that!) as they look exactly like your Frost Petunias. I really enjoy watching the two of you together as I love your banter. You make a great team. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.

@eliandkate Год назад

glad we could give you a wee smile

@charlotteinnocent8752 Год назад

I did far too many petunias last year from seed. Feed them and put them out there and by the time you get to August they're going to be spilling over the edges of your containers in big spills of colours and basically looking beyond amazing. Petunias NEVER let you down and they are good for bees too! I've always got them in my window boxes and my hanging basket and then they get thrown into all kinds of pots around the place. They will catch up!

@eliandkate Год назад

I agree, they are awesome and catch up soooo fast!

@RealBradMiller Год назад

Always a pleasure! I've been moving around large pots to mix things up a bit, and get things into their places ready for that intense summer sun! See you both next time!!

@eliandkate Год назад

whooooooo hoooooooooo 😂

@samanthahoos9827 Год назад

I put geraniums, lavender and rosemary in my baskets this year - smells lovely!

@eliandkate Год назад

Oh that’ll be amazing

@elainemcgran8828 Год назад

I love putting my hanging baskets together every year i grow a mix of plants for them and a few window boxes which i don't put on the window stills, then a few wall planters, think I've got 4 different varieties of plants that have come back for the 3rd year now. I don't really have the room for lots of seeds so i try and pick as many for the baskets and planters that come back every year. 😊 I actually put sweet pea into some baskets and planters because they grow up the chain and also hang / grow down and just keep flowering.

@eliandkate Год назад

oh that sounds awesome!!!!!!!

@cathgreenwood831 Год назад

You make it look so easy! Love seeing Kate getting so involved 🙂

@eliandkate Год назад

It is easy, with a bit of practice 😍

@TraineeHuman Год назад

Loved this one - thanks guys x

@eliandkate Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it 😍

@millashawshire2212 Год назад

Hey 👋 great video, I’m just learning, so about the baskets, could you possibly do a video on baskets, which ones, how to choose, what basket is best, how to clean, how to store, when to fetch down and empty, etc etc. I see so many baskets and fillings and what not, it’s all do daunting xx

@chicosgarden Год назад

Love seeing you both in videos and your lovely cats! "Missing a scone opportunity" lol I love your thinking Kate ha ha Great video, I have never made a hanging basket and plan on doing one from seed grown plants next year but this year, I may just buy some ready to go.

@eliandkate Год назад

To be fair… the scones in our garden centre are legendary 😁

@tinasterry5651 Год назад

Now I'm beginning to think you are watching me 😄🕵‍♀️🧐 I've grown so many petunia this year (more than last year) from seed. I just love them, if I could have them all year round I'd be so happy. I went for Grandiflora, Super Cascading, Stars & Stripes, Pirouette and Wave varieties so looking forward to seeing them in full bloom soon. Love your video (as always) well done Kate, great job 👏 and not forgetting you either Eli 👏 Looking forward to seeing your baskets in bloom, please do a follow up (Tina - Dublin Ireland ☘)

@eliandkate Год назад

hee hee hee maybe we are!!!!

@hosanna_garden Год назад

Very nice

@anitahaywood9827 Год назад

So so desperately need to get my baskets done! I've had poor germination, well Zero germination of my petunias, the trailing verbena are very small. Top tip, I tend to fill mine hanging up, saves the chain 'issue' I've got some amazing trailing begonias to put in, I did them a couple of years ago, how amazing they looked. Take care x

@eliandkate Год назад

Hanging baskets are awesome I love them 😍

@vanessawilkinson7089 Год назад

Oh wish mine looked like that! A lot of my plants have been so slow this year as I’ve been trying a different compost. Same size as your small ones…Then my seedlings were eaten by a slug which found its way into the greenhouse 😢 had to resort buying some! 4 trays…2 of which were reduced to 60p all because they need a little water and love 😂

@eliandkate Год назад

Hey 60p that’s an absolute bargain

@carolinebown8686 Год назад

Fabulous video ...your hanging baskets will look stunning ❤only just received this ... dont know why 😕😕😕 I did wonder when I saw it on Instagram ....but thought it was my forgetfulness xx

@eliandkate Год назад

You’re not the only person who’s not had alerts recently

@AdventuresnfoodwithJenn Год назад

Kate don't worry. I am new to flowers. I can barely grow a dandelion.😅😂

@eliandkate Год назад

😂😂😂😂😂

@cherylbranson6557 Год назад

I would love to see what you decide to grow in the green stalk. I have had mine for about a year or so and so far herbs have done very well. Veggies not so good. Good luck with it!

@eliandkate Год назад

Yeah I’m not sure about what will or won’t work. Going to be a big experiement

@wormulous Год назад

I am so mixed between flowers and edible plants this year! You would think as a guy I wouldn't care but for some reason beautification of a space allows you to appreciate it more. I have zinnia carnation alyssum and marigolds started. Alyssum is the only thing with flowers at the moment and the carnations looked like they wanted to trail a bit but some of standing tall. 🤷‍♂️ expirements!

@eliandkate Год назад

Oh no I completely get it Andrew. I think this is something a lot of folk forget, a garden is an extension to your home, so yeah it's great we have space to grow food, but it's also nice to make it a space you enjoy.... It's why we have lawns and flower beds and container areas as well as food growing areas. Makes it a lovely space to be in.

@kimlewis5429 Месяц назад

I have a food garden with all kinds of flowers mixed in that bring pollinators. I believe they all have a place ! It's beautiful and helpful to mix them!

@cherylbranson6557 Год назад

Kate has done a fabulous job! I see you have the vertical growing container. What do you grow in yours? I bought one and have experimented with flowers and herbs. I tried tomatoes but was not too successful. Your petunias are going to be beautiful! Thanks for the update!

@eliandkate Год назад

The greens talk is brand new so we’ve no experience with it yet… going to be interesting

@laitae Год назад

Great job! Eli is an excellent teacher! I'd love to know what the hose attachment is, it sprinkles so nicely (can't see it in links).

@eliandkate Год назад

The hose gun is a hozelock that came with it. Not sure if you can get it separately

@wendylundie8506 Год назад

Another fabulous video, garden looking great, love the green stacking planter could you say where you get them ❤️

@eliandkate Год назад

It’s a green stalk vertical garden but I’m afraid you can’t get them in the uk

@carmengiles456 Год назад

Well-jelious, my Petunia seedlings are still tiny 😢 thank you for the circle cutting tip. Is it posible to plant a few in the side of the basket when using the plastic for linning?

@eliandkate Год назад

I suppose you could if you are clever about creating holes to plant through

@annescott6137 Год назад

🙋hi from Scotland oh what sad news to here steve from greenside up pass away today so sad 😭

@eliandkate Год назад

Very sad news

@ladycil Год назад

They look fab 👌 ...is it too late to plant seeds now 🤔

@eliandkate Год назад

It obviously depends on your growing conditions and season Ladycil but for me, yeah it’s too late to start seeds for these now and expect a harvest of ripe fruits. You can still buy plants in the garden centre though

@LTeppler Год назад

:applause: 👏

@eliandkate Год назад

😀😀😀

@catherineforward Год назад

Is that a greenstalk in your garden!!!? Can we get them in the UK now? 😀

@eliandkate Год назад

It was a gift from Gardener Scott Afraid you can’t get them here no

@squadiodatamj5998 Год назад

Aaaagh....a cliff-hanger.....where will Kate put the petunias? Will she find enough pots and places for her well-tended babies? Your tray of yet-to-be-potted petunias are the same size as my three lone survivors. I retain hope.

@eliandkate Год назад

Get them in a pot!! 😍

@grantseymour6853 Год назад

Is that a pride gardening t shirt? Where can I get one?

@eliandkate Год назад

It is indeed You can get the design on all sorts of shirts in our store 😍 Look for the store tab on our channel homepage youtube.com/@eliandkate

@bwolf0003 Год назад

What month did you plant the petunias?

@eliandkate Год назад

Mid march :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VzRN1ZQ6mzE.html

@anniejefferson4642 Год назад

Lol. I grew up on farm and my spoon is always in my pocket. Lolololololll. Omg too funny. Spoons are great for getting seedings out of pots. That's why there are never any spoons in draw. Lolololol. USE THE SPOON.

@eliandkate Год назад

right now Kate is screaming - It's a SPADE!
