I'm visiting a local willow nursery in the US Vermont next week I'm planting a whole bed next spring for the same reason as you, wind break, wreaths and contorted willow for arrangements.
What a lovely big polytunnel you have there Sarah,, well done with all your plantings and hard work ,, I love growing flowers but never tried ranunculus so may have to give them a try,, listening with my headphones on as hubby watching the TV ,, kept having to turn the volume down when the music came on ,, then having to turn you up when you’re talking,, best wishes, Lisa
Hey Lisa, thanks for the feedback. Struggling to film well with just my phone but looking into options with new cameras/ microphones etc this very night! Hopefully it won’t be too long before the quality of the videos improves!
It’s just the volume of the music Sarah,, I love watching the content and getting a lot of useful tips so thanks for making the videos, much appreciated ,, would be equally as enjoyable with no music at all, but that’s just me,, best wishes, Lisa
Loving your videos...only came across you a week ago when looking for ideas for a new cutting garden area. Mainly I grow perennials, & have steered away from annuals as so many look ‘twee’. Your choice was great. Will pinch some of those ideas.
Doesn’t it feel so good to get that done! I planted a few more ranunculus out yesterday that I had pre-sprouted. Good luck with your willow cuttings! I’ll be anxious to see them grow! Thanks for sharing✌️❤️🌻🌸🐝🦋
I can't wait to start seeds!!! First year starting seeds with the soil blocking method. I really want to be out in my gardens, but they are all buried under snow!
Hey lovely - me and my two littles loved discovering your channel today! Please could you tell me what your waterproof overalls are? They look warm too! Thanks in advance!
I love Willow! What kind of willow did you plant? What zone are you in. There is no way I can plant anything in the grow here in South Dakota! Grow is frozen till closer to April/May.

Hi, I'm in Scotland and wanting to grow ranunculus for a wedding on 4th August 2022. Would it be possible to delay planting them so as they would be at there best for the wedding. Thanks
Hey I think that august is too late to be able to get ranunculus to flower as far as I am aware. I think if you start them now they flower in May/ June. They are very much cool weather flowers.
Hey this is a link to the original listing of the willow I bought. I guess if you type in ‘willow cuttings’ or ‘live willow cuttings’ you’ll find something. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254749769031
Hi Sarah. Where is the link for the hori hori knife please. It says in Amazon shop below but can’t see it. Using iPad and not sure if that makes a difference.
Hi Beverley, it’s in the video description, I couldn’t find an Amazon link so I put a link to the website that I originally bought mine from. www.niwaki.com/store/hori-hori/
I just checked my ranunculus that I attempted to presprout, & a good % of them are going moldy. Do you have any idea what could have caused that? Planted too deep? Soil too wet? Keot too cold? I planted some from eden, some from my local big box store. & I noticed the ones from my big box store were more moldy, like 75% of them, & the ones I bought from eden Brothers only had about 5% go moldy...? I soaked them all for 4 hours & kept them both in my unheated garage....
Hey, where are they planted? In pots? Or in the ground? Could be that they are too wet. I always pot them up in a gritty compost for good drainage. My polytunnel doesn’t get too wet so I know they’ll be ok in the ground there. I’m not sure why you have a difference from the different suppliers.. interesting but frustrating!!
I work on our farm with horses, I just do it to earn some extra money over winter when I’m not selling flowers. Hopefully in a few years time I won’t have to do it anymore.
Good Morning Lovely video deliveries are fab... even when you know whats in them... I have a youtube channel too would be lovely if you would check it out too.
