Brie sounding like “a broken record”most definitely helps me memorize these things as you said, thanks so much for all your teachings!! 👍🏼 I’ve always appreciated your personality, honesty and sense of humor! Don’t ever change! 👍🏼☺️
Your mother is a joy. Please include her more often. I don't know where up north she's from, but Northern winter's can be brutal. In South Carolina, she can still garden.
Awesome! It was so nice gardening with your Mom. And thank you for explaining the simplicity of direct-sowing some of these annuals such as larkspur and poppies!
Good morning. I just discovered your videos. I had no idea what I was doing wrong with poppies, larkspur and delphinium. I had just given up on them. Well now I'm going to sprinkle away. LOL. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Zone 8 south Mississippi
Excellent video! I’m re-watching some of your poppy and larkspur (cool flowers) seeding videos b/c here in zone 6, I am getting ready to try this direct-seeding method for the first time. Your beautiful cottage garden is my inspiration. Gotta say, your Mom is so sweet and also an optimist like you. I love the positive energy from you two sweet gals. Thanks for all of the comprehensive resources for folks like me. I’m always learning from you, Brie. Have a great day!
Great tip about buying seeds in the spice aisle! I’ve also seen folks do experiments on using beans and other legumes from the store with pretty good success.
I love the idea of adding Cilantro to the seeded area. I had some Cilantro come up next to my front steps last year -- zero idea how that happened -- and it was so pretty. I never thought to seed it on purpose into the flower areas
I have a little area that I leave specifically for direct seeding and have used cilantro, carrot, parley, etc., but I never thought to mix them into the beds either! Such a good idea.
I noticed in the video that you were standing by your parent's mailbox, which showed the house number and street name. That gave me a case of the fantods, but then you announced that they were going to your house for Christmas. That gave me the Rolling Stones song, "19th Nervous Breakdown." Gardeners are fine folks, but any hooligan worth their salt now knows what a fine house they live in, where they live, and when they will be away from home. So please, in the future, don't forget to block out any address and refrain from spilling the beans. Also, I have my mix of seeds ready to go and will sow them once these storms blow over Birmingham.
I just had to say, I wear Crocs and peds when gardening here in the low desert of AZ and am so relieved to see someone else rockin' the look 😁. Crocs are so convenient to slip on and off throughout the day when in and out of the garden, right?
Just direct seeded poppies, a few cool annuals, and a perennial meadow mix in zone 6. Hoping for the best! I will say that I struggle to keep the areas leaf-free, as we’re up on a ridge surrounded by woods and it can get windy. But it’s gone pretty well in the past. I need to add some edible grains into the mix.
Brie thank you so much for teaching me what I can direct sow. I am grateful for your videos. I live in Lake Norman area. I love how detailed your instructions are. I have to ask where did you get those shoes? I’m always looking for blue denim colored shoes!
Hello! I followed your instructions after black Friday last year here in zone 8b and my poppies, for the first time planting them were amazing thank you! I am wondering if its still okay to plant the seeds in zone 8b in late december? it will still be cold here, but just wanted to check.
Hi Brie and Mom! I enjoy and have been very enlightened by your videos, so thank you I''m hoping for a successful sowng of poppies this season. Do you offer your seeds for sale?
