Orchids would do well in your bathroom - extra humidity from the showers and baths as well as filtered light from the window.

This is the first app that's been advertised on youtube to me that I immediately went to download because I am in exactly the same situation, I love plants but seem to kill everything except rose bushes planted in my yard....

Would that app work for identifying plants in a garden by their leaves????

Everyone needs a Michael Potts in their life. Always cheerful and talanted as well. Isn't Philip lucky getting sandwiche served in bed and also separate plates of food prepared just for him!

@norabrice Год назад

You guy's could make a dry erase marker board for the garden to map out land plot spots so that everyone can find everything they need.

@dees3179 Год назад

I have a black board and chalk in the shed at the allotment for this very reason.

@DrRusty5 Год назад

A blackboard is easier as you can easily make your own on almost any surface with blackboard paint. It would also look less incongruous in the potting shed.

@rsmith1820 Год назад

Ah but Alas then there'd be no comedic foraging segments

Brilliant idea to have a dry erase board and keep it in the greenhouse? Just an idea

Yes, Michael always brings a unique enthusiastic approach to all his endeavours! His Boxing Day BBQ (or should it be Braai?) is epic. By the way Stephanie it’s damper bread, not dampener!

Stephanie, I THINK that wilted plant is a peace lily, which is exceptionally good at absorbing tired old air and sending out good healthy energy. They are perfect in a bedroom for that reason. Ours thrived for years on the forgotten end of care, its white blooms so pretty.

@enjoyyournextchapter Год назад

Wanted to pass along a great tip for caring for Orchids - place an Ice Cube on the soil once a week! The slow time release of the water provides exactly what the Orchid needs! The more I watch the Chateau Diaries, the more I'm convinced that you have formed an artistic movement/community that will be regarded in the same historical light as the Bloomsbury Group, or Gertrude Stein's Literary salon, or the Beat Generation of San Francisco. The many talents and personalities that Lalonde has brought together will go down in history as a community of subject matter experts who bring together tradition, creativity, skill, talent, generosity and artistic flair!! Lalonde is the Bloomsbury of the 21st Century!! Wishing all Lalonders the Very Best for 2023!!

@katherinegeddie7687 Год назад

I had a small Christmas 🎄 given to me in a pot. I took it to my elementary classroom. The students made seasonal decorations for it for years....Valentines tree, Mardi Gras tree, Easter tree, Veterans day tree , and so on. 😀 The joy 😊 it brought was super. The scientific minded first graders rationalized it as an air-purification ornamental tree.

@hopegrable Год назад

Boxing day was definitely a win! Loved seeing all the puppies playing together. Molly and Spud are just too cute! I would definitely feel safe stranded with Stephanie and Michael. You really do need a good sense of humor when your stranded. That enormous parsnip was truly a shock. I said Mandrake root as soon as Michael wrestled it from the earth. It's so funny that Stewart said the same thing. We Americans know a cursed parsnip when we see it. Good heavens! Did it scream for it's life when she came at it with a knife? And It took 20 whole minutes to show it who's boss. Do not mess with Stewart. Don't even think about it. Hope everyone is still enjoying time together at Lalande. Really looking forward to seeing your next vlog for New Years. Lots of love to you all. 💖💖💖

Hilarious - twilight parsnip wrestling. That BBQ food looked fab - so tasty, and I love the fun you all have in preparing it all. Happy New Year in a couple of days.

@cynhanrahan4012 Год назад

Orchids almost always die of excessive care. They prefer neglect. And ice cube set on the bark every week is plenty, and if humid, every other week. A friend gave me a "hospital planter" in 1991. I divided it and planted each in their own pot, and gave them their own preferred care sort, and I still have 2 of them. I like that app!

@foretb1162 Год назад

Orchids....I've never been good at keeping them alive, yet my sister is! But, she gave me a tip recently: they need an eastern, medium lighted window sill - otherwise they won't bloom. They also have a dormancy period where the blooms fall off and the plant sucks back its sap - similar to trees in the Fall. When the blooms are done (dried and dropped), cut the stem below where the flowers were, between 2 "buds". This ensures that the plant will grow a stem out from it on its next blooming time.

@basiaszendrei1603 Год назад

Orchids or phanelopsis are the easiest plants to care for ever. I recommend channel by the Orchid Girl. Any store bought orchid should be replanted as soon as possible. As they are grown in nurseries they are planted in water retaining pucket which is not removed when send to stores. That water retention slowly causes the root rot.

My last day living in NYC. I was suddenly crying in my favorite pottery shop. Then the owner asked me why and walked me out of an ordinary door to a hidden courtyard. He sat me down and explained that several families lived around the courtyard. There were flowers everywhere, doves in cages and a fountain. He then brought me a cheese plate and a glass of white wine while he arranged to ship my gifts down to NC. A beautiful farewell after 12 years in NYC.😘😘😘
