I succeeded at starting some from seed and got it planted. Its only like 2 or 3 inches tall and already smells AMAZING.

@janw491 Год назад

Same here I love the smell

@lindysmallwood2039 Год назад

What kind of lavender do you grow and what zone are you in? Blessing ❤️🌺

@Talula72 Год назад

I grew Lavendar from seed for the first time tbis year. It's doing well and smells amazing even when it only had a few leaves

@RJ-mh1bu Год назад

Me too!!! I had better germination rate on English Lavender ( got 30 starts). My Munstead Lavender only got 3 that germinated..... hey better than none. ❤️ Lavender.

@RJ-mh1bu Год назад

QUESTION: What brand of drip irrigation do you have great results with?? I have seen videos you have done before but not locating it. I am wanting to invest insome this year to help in my senior years. Brian!!! Good to know info about Lavender. I was successful in starting some seeds and after plants starting putting on second to third set of leaves I usually start fertilizing. Thanks Brian!! Blessings to your family and team.

@GardenKatt Год назад

I actually planted lavendar next to my front door in basically clay soil. I dug out a good circle and added compost. It has been 2 years this is 3rd. Every year it grows back awesomely with no extra care. This year i am cutting all the dead branches from last couple years. I already see new growth so I probably waited too long but so much is going on. Oh well. I will post it in a week or so when done.

Thank you for this video, it's very helpful 🙏 I living in Sydney, weather is warm, in summer can be very hot. I love lavender, bought some English and French ones planted in ground, after a while not happy there, some start to died off, so dug out put in a big container face northwest, still not thriving, I went to nursery ask one of the staffs he said maybe not enough water, so I water it twice a week now can see some improvement and few flowers. Another pot is on the balcony face west looking so miserable no flower at all, moved to shade area the same What I did wrong 😞

@user-mc3tp5sd2z Год назад

I’m so jealous of how easy a spade goes into your soil! Heavy clay here, and the only time I can get a spade in like that is after a good soaking rain and enough days of drying out that you find that sweet spot where the soil is easily dug because it’s damp and not so wet it’s sticky. It’s a very small window of time.

@hollistantang9469 Год назад

Try sprankling the soil with microbes solution.. Maybe with microbial solution (like jadam's or eco enzyme, or others) and after a while it could make the soil perform better...

@dopapier Месяц назад

I took over my garden in 1978. Very heavy clay. I bought in 3 tons of cow manure and spread it. Turned the soil before winter frosts. Added compost from two large bays that are always working. Now the soil is beautiful.

@Jameson77777 Год назад

I’m in Connecticut zone 6B and despite our wild winters, the lavender I planted summer of 2020 has come back each year! I do a thick layer of mulch in my garden so I think that has something to do with it. Rosemary however dies in our winter and I buy new plants each summer.

@mslpfanatik Год назад

"Lavender doesn't like that." That comment made me laugh. Thanks for the container tips.

@xs8372 Год назад

Southern ca here and in my experience lavender don’t like too much water or any fertilizer. I hardly water it and don’t fertilize and it blooms like crazy all growing season. That’s in ground I’ve never done container for lavender

@janetlentz7180 Год назад

I am in zone 7. I worried about my potted lavender outside over the winter, but it did well and has really bounced back now that we are getting warmer weather.

@Luv2Garden2 Год назад

I grow my Lavender in my aerogarden. When it hits 4" I remove it and pot it up in just organic soil. When the temperatures good I put it in a pot with my Rosemary and I use compost/perlite and organic soil. I do it every year and my porch smells so good with my morning coffee. I love your variety of Lavender. I think im going to try that next year.

@nodripsman Год назад

First time ever trying lavander, keeping fingers crossed. Munstead started from seed middle with some ok results, plants are 4/5" tall. Also did a cold stratification for about 30 days in the refrigerator with two different seed source with munstead...pretty Good results. Some in pots , and a few small plants in the ground , see what happens. Fragrance is spectacular even from the smallest plantings. Crappy soil neutral to slightly alkaline information came right from a Lavander grower. Extreme patients from seed.

Lavender is my kryptonite. My area gets so cold in the winter - I have to start over every year and it just fails. Even tried Munstead lavender which is supposed to be cold-hardy - couldn't get it to germinate. BUT - the cactus soil. That's my nugget from today. Thank you! Going to try that. Thank you!

@debkauzlarich7298 Год назад

I mix in a lot of chicken grit with things that are in pots and need good drainage. I wash it first although I'm not really sure that's needed. It seems to really work well and is pretty inexpensive. Another thing I do when I pot instead of putting a broken something in the bottom, I use drywall tape. It holds everything in and never gets clogged up. And, again, it's inexpensive!

@sofluid 10 месяцев назад

the root ball of lavender grows to a depth and width of 8-12 inches.....This is a very accurate rule of thumb, thus a 12 x 12 inch pot will be big enough for a healthy root ball for the life of the lavender. :)

@LMDixon Год назад

Great info. I bought and potted some Spanish Lavendar about 3 weeks ago but i think i dont get enough sunlight because they are wilting and the stems have turned gray. They get about 7 hours of sun. I'll keep trying to save them if i can.😊

@Pilawaag Год назад

Thanks for the great content Brian! I actually had some lavender I bought, but waited until I could get to this video before planting them. Unfortunately I may have waited too long. The leaves have really yellowed, which made me think I may have been watering them too much, but when I pulled them out of their temporary containers today, the soil in the root ball was dry. I just put them in the ground slightly raised like you said, since the area I planted them in does tend to have water pool up under heavy rains. Hopefully they take to the new spot and start thriving again. Otherwise I may need to get some new ones and put the in the ground immediately.

@irili100 Год назад

@Next Level Gardening Hi Brian, I have learned and of course, that when moving an established plant from one planting site to another, it is very important to prune it immediately to reduce the shock of planting and if the plant is planted in a pot, I place it in the shade for a day. I live in a very hot and dry place in the summer, it only rains in the winter for about four months plus or minus. Mediterranean climate . I would love to know what the success % is in transferring the plants in your garden, according to your experience.

I live in nj. Last summer I was walking towards the beach and I saw this house w the most beautiful, large lavender bushes. I wonder how did that bush survive the winters with the house being so close to the beach? Literally a block or two away. I bought my first small lavender plant and I can’t wait to plant it. I live far from the beach but the winters are very cold here. Zone 7a. How would I make sure lavender survives the winter in a pot outside ?

Hi Brian, how does the lavender topiary hold up in wind? I trained a rosemary as a very tall standard in a traditional lollipop that I keep inside or in the greenhouse, as I think the wind would break it. Plus I’m zone 3 anyway. I’ve been wanting to try a lavender but want to keep it outside in the summer. Your lavender standards look really sturdy. I’m thinking if I trained the lavender outside (and not so tall), it will be strong.

@nobye9716 Год назад

Hey Brian, I had a quick question about your fertilizer routine I was hoping you might have a chance to answer! 😊 It is a bit unrelated to this video but I thought commenting on your newest video would be best! I bought neptunes harvest for my tomato seedlings and was going to follow your instructions to use it at half strength, however, i only have about 10 tomato plants and dont need 4.5 liters of fertilizer, so i did some math and reduced the ratio down to 1ml of fertilizer per 600ml of water, and found out i can use my kitchen scale to weigh out the 1ml as 1g. I was just wondering if this sounds right to you? 1g of neptunes harvest fish and seaweed per 600ml of water?

@NextLevelGardening Год назад

It sounds right but I'm far from a math whiz! The great thing about NH is it is very forgiving. You won't hurt your seedings if you're off one way or the other
