The Biggest Mistake: Flower Gardening in Spring 

I came for the flowers, I stay for your wisdom, humour and humanity. Crane, I always feel better for watching your videos. Thank you for being you. 🌱

Gardens are to be enjoyed by everyone, kids and adults alike. Thank you for reminding all of us of that. Your videos are wonderful and very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your garden.

Live ..life ,and be happy 😊. This was a great video 💯love the way the kids enjoyed your flowers 💐Everyone loves the beautiful colors ..💛🤗

"a pain in the nicotiana!" What the hellebore?! i love that!!!

Thanks for sharing your mistakes and experiences with us Crane. It’s all helpful! The kiddos were having so much fun! They must love visiting you and Jason!

I bet you are the favorite uncle. Your videos name such a joy to watch. Always feel better after watching. I once wore a blouse that had lots of embroidery on it inside out to the grocery store. 🤪.

Crane, this was super helpful for me! Some RU-vidrs seem to know everything; I am encouraged to learn that you make mistakes and still have a beautiful home and garden. Keep sharing your triumphs and your wisdom about the human experience.💐🌺🌸

Youre videos are informative, grin worthy, heart warming, move fast enough, and you share so much floral and yard beauty and family love. Thank you, from your flower community!

What a sweet video Crane! Good information. 🌸🏵🌺🌻🌼

Crane, you are a beautiful human being! And you create such beautiful flower arrangements.🌷💐🪻

What a magical garden for an Easter egg hunt! Your nieces and nephews are lucky to have you both. Also….the reason for the stares in the garden centre…you had me laughing so hard because that’s totally something I would do!

As always love your videos! It is so fun to see kids running and enjoying a garden. Love the arrangement you made and take care of your health!

I absolutely love the stories you tell in your videos! I appreciate you sharing the beauty as well as the struggles. The story about your trip to the garden center made me LOL, how funny!! I hope you’re feeling better ❤

Buahahahaha!! 😂😂 I burst out loud laughing when you said you learned that ranunculus are a "Pain in the nicotiana!" Then I had to rewind and listen again because it was just so funny and relatable. I think we've all had a plant that just is a pain in the trowel for us all. You are so cute and your videos are always guaranteed to make me happy or ponder something and just be grateful for all the joy that our gardens bring us. ❤ PS your arrangement was gorgeous 😍

You are the best Crane.....I love your channel, your love for flowers/plants/nature.....your knowledge and your humbleness and humor. Keep it going guys....no where to go but up with RU-vid.

Hello , Crane ! 😊 I laughed almost through the ole video. You are not alone , I have made the same mistakes or even worse 😂😂 conclusion, we learned, didn't we ? Have a wonderful weekend. Thank you for what you do , and God bless.

You truly are joy Crane!!🎉

I saw on your community post that you hadn't been feeling well. I hope you feel better soon. ❤ from the UK.

Crane you crack me up! Your obvious joy in all things gardening is so inspiring! I had not thought to put Japanese quince in my arrangements, it is so lovely!❤

I enjoyed and learned so much watching your channel.

We are all making mistakes, thanks for sharing it with us and your beautiful flowers garden!

The celebrations in your garden look so happy! What beautiful memories the children will have making bouquets. I started my small flower farm last season so that I could provide florals for our new wedding venue. On the days when I didn’t have a wedding, I put out a U pick sign and had such a wonderful time letting people cut flowers. They were all so happy in the flowers. I got to meet so many precious people. I also asked them to take a free extra jar to fill up and to give away to bless someone else. I just can’t wait for this new season to spread more flower joy. Thank you for sharing your mistakes with all of us. I hope you are feeling better!

What a wonderful chatty video. You are a blast 💚🧡💛🙏🏻

One of my favorite things is to have the kiddos arrange bouquets. I show them what’s available, and from those options they can arrange something special to take home. You are a great uncle, good job 👌

🤣🤣🤣 You're hilarious!!! So that's why they were staring at you! Greetings from Finland!👋 We still have snow❄️❄️❄️

Great video Crane. We all make mistakes as long as we keep learning and trying.

I love your flower arrangements! So happy to have come across your channel.

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your videos. I have learned so much from watching your channel. I love seeing how beautiful your garden and arrangements are and have been inspired! My favorite part is when you share your personal experiences and thoughts about life. You are so genuine and your sweet spirit shines.

Another fantastic video. Thank you for sharing your mistakes it will help me to be more mindful…OMG , the gardening center story was hilarious 😂

I love your humor and heart! Your Easter tables looked beautiful! It looked like you and your family had a great day! I wanted to share a gardening mistake/lesson that I learned from. I had 3 little boys. (All in their 30’s now) One summer they were playing in our backyard and I ran inside the house for something. When I came outside I stood in horror as all the petunias I had planted in a huge barrel on my patio were laying out in the lawn. My 3 year old had taken a whiffle bat and whacked them all off. I think I cried! You know what though? Those petunias came back fuller and more healthier looking in just a few weeks. I learned that those leggy petunias need to be trimmed back mid-summer if you want them to look good. Now every year I trim my petunias around July 4th. I call it the ZACH WHACK! 😂 I think of that day when I’m doing it and wish I had those dear little boys back in my garden trampling my flowers and sending flowers through the air!😍

Learning from our mistakes is priceless. But yes unfortunately there is also a real cost to it so if we can learn from your mistakes maybe we save money in the long run. How nice the kids made arrangements! Enjoyed it.

Not sure what happened but I think my first comment is missing. I want to say I love the "famous" story and the "DINNER IS READY", lol! Thank you for the reminder that we should enjoy our garden with all. We are making memories after all! Keep doing you Crane!

Crane--thank you for bringing happiness, humor, and great tips on growing and designing with flowers. Love your channel! Keep going!

Laughed out loud about feeling famous yet you are to me and us!! Love you bringing me into your life hole in pants and all🤦‍♀️gotta love that reality!! To have one of Gracie’s dahlia how wonderful ! I watch North Lawn Flower Farm she’s so knowledgeable . Lover her new library! Anyway yes learning from just doing is the best part of gardening!! Happy April!

Crane…. You have the best you tube videos … I learn from you… you make me laugh…. You are honest with your successes and losses… and personally…. Your flower arrangements are so beautiful…. Thankyou so much for continuing… from this flower friend I really thankyou.. ❤❤❤

When I first started watching, I had to stop and exclaim. I just bought that same blue and white bowl in HomeGoods for flower arranging!💙

My celosia and verbena seedlings 🌱 have been so tiny for weeks. Hopefully the start growing soon. LOL so funny your story! Love 💕 you! 🌼🐝

Happy spring Crane and Jason… thank you for always sharing such delightful stories with all of us… I’m so excited I’ll be playing in my dirt tomorrow, pulling weeds, planting a few seeds and just enjoying my little garden… sending you smiles

I love your beautiful gardens!! Thank you for all you're helpful knowledge!! I am a retired florist, and I love to watch you make those beautiful awesome boutiques!! You are so very talented!!😊

Uncle Crane, you have just helped me. I was just like you. I was looking over ppl in my garden. I have just learnt that I must allow everyone, especially kids to enjoy and learn in the garden. You have just converted me. Thank you so much. By the way, all your mistakes with ranunclus,I have committed. We learn from our mistakes. I always fail with daffodils. Maybe my climate is not suitable.

Wow Crane your garden is so beautiful lots of different flowers thank you for sharing keep the videos coming. Love from Washington State 👍🙏❤️😊

Crane you crack me up! I love your stories!!❤ And you eat Spam! I love Spam. 😊

That was a funny story! Have fun

Crane, you are amazing at growing flowers but I agree , there are some that are a pain in the you know what! I do think you have your seed starting soil too wet. Laura from Garden Answer says you should not be able to squeeze water out of your soil. Keep gardening, you bring joy to many.❤

You're too cute! Love your personality....😊

You are such an inspiration 🌸💗😊💫🌱🙏

An amazing video with cute kids. Nice to see the way that u do gardening Wish u all the best!!

ครูCrane! ลุงCrane! Thank you for sharing your mistakes and learned lessons. Just goes to show how resilient flower friends are even when we as humans make mistakes! 5555

I love that you made floral arrangements with the kids!!! ❤💐

We’re all making mistakes. Crane! I love the way you make mistakes and keep it very light hearted! Great video! Thank you! ❤

I can totally relate to garden mistakes lol. Ranunculus!! OMG! Pain in the nassturtium! 1. Started ranunculus, veggies, sunflowers, zinnias, sweet peas too late. 2. Killed all my anise hyssop seedlings that were looking so gorgeous. Killed some of my bells and tomatoes too. 3. Nearly killed all my rudbeckia and they got stunted. Slowly recovering. 4. Couldn't get any herbs or columbine to germinate 😅 5. Tulips and daffs were a failure. Got 3 nice blooms out og 75 lol! I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting (Positive note: had success w/ Lisianthus, Snaps, jalapeños, celosia &nasturtium)

Thank you

❤❤❤

I just love your videos! ? Have you ever tried to grow Larkspur. They are so beautiful. Blessings from Southern California 🙏

yes, i kept temp records and April is still too cold. May 1s or after is good to plant everything, April we just had 36*F nights... and days were like winter.

@7:06' Crane naughty?? Never! 😁 Is your asthma/allergy under control? Please take care. Enjoying your videos as per usual. And the best thing is Uncle Crane is no longer Uncle Crane-ky! 😜😇😆

❤

Dinner is ready!!! 😂

YES, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT TALK ABOUT FALSE INFORMATION , THOSE ARE NOT MISTAKES, BUT MORE INFORMATION FOR US. TRUTHS

i was like that . now.. oh u broke a plant.. its ok ill plant something else... no big deal... took me a few year.... my neighbour painted a little fence but painted my daffodils also lolll. ❤

Hi Crane, how is everything? Hope u are feeling better. U are so funny 😂….it’s hard being a celebrity 👍👍 I’m in central Jersey.. It has been raining …not able to do any gardening. My ground is so wet and can’t walk on it. Ur arrangements are amazing. When can u direct sow seeds outdoors ( like verbena bonariensis , bells of Ireland , love and the mist ) .. ? Thanks. Love ur videos

Crane! You are the cutest! Gotta laugh! Hopefully you were wearing cute undies! 🫣🤣

Thank you for the wonderful video. Have you tried the Darwin type of tulip? They are better at coming back each year.
