Loved the transition of the sunflower side by side. You definitely followed a natural line of sight that would happen in real life when trying to show someone something. I was watching in 2x speed and it caught my eye. 👍🏽👍🏽
I saw your April video and planted some wildflowers in my side yard at the end of May, I have green sprouts varying heights up to 2-3 inches...not sure what will happen since I planted them late. I enjoy your videos so much, thank you and God bless!
Glad you enjoy them! Im sure at the very least you'll get some flowers next spring, and very likely something this fall. Thanks for the affirmation, and God bless you as well!
Good morning!! I am the sponsor for two Junior Girl Scouts working on their Bronze Award Project, “All About Bees.” The goal is to help bring back the bee population and teach people to not be afraid of bees. After much research, they determined the first step is a pollinator bed. The school district is allocating space in their outdoor science lab for this project. As they advance in scouting, so will their project. Next year they will add a bee hotel and educational hive. I want to help the girls find Texas native seeds that will bloom year round, do not require watering. We are in the DFW area. Thank you so much.
I can’t think of a native pollinator that blooms year round, in the past I’ve grown bluebonnets, which are native, and the invasive crimson clover (which came in a Texas wildflower seed mix). Bachelor buttons can get tall, and then only bloom April-June. You might have more success with potted hardy perennials. I don’t know of any native ones, but purslane will bloom almost year round minus dec and Jan. Keep in mind, purslane is it’s own delicious food, it’s a succulent that people make salads with. However, it’s toxic to dogs, just fyi.
@@AustinTexasGardening Thank you so much for responding. My mistake. Not necessarily a single plant variety that blooms year round, but a different flowers that will bloom. We found some that bloom spring, summer, but not so much fall and winter
That is an arbequina olive tree, native to the Mediterranean, but they grow great here (except when there’s a blizzard) www.thisoldhouse.com/gardening/21328247/arbequina-olive-trees
Unfortunately I sold my house and moved away last fall so I cant film it, but I was hanging out with some old neighbors and walked past a few weeks ago, the fig tree looked awesome, it was nearly 4 feet tall, and the bluebonnets came back in force!
