Flowers and Gardening are my passion. I’m hoping that I can share with you what I am learning and help you avoid the mistakes I have made. I’m trying to keep it real, and offer information that is applicable to anyone! My first plant I bought died because I didn’t realize that annuals died in the winter haha. I’ve come along way and even completed my Mater Gardener Certification. Thanks for joining me on my journey. My yard still has a long ways to go 👍🏻 and the transformation is so much fun.

I planted tri color beach tree 8-9 years ago and I have the same problem it doesn’t grow.There is anything I can do to speed the growth?
also keep in mind that round up is known to cause cancer, so wear a mask and protective clothing while using.
thanks and thanks for the update
How do you know how deep you need your footers to go?
I just bought a 3 pack of these for christmas gifts. My question for you is...will they bloom while in the packaging before i gift them? Christmas is still 6 weeks away! Eek!
You start them in January in a greenhouse that is heated or unheated? Please let me know. Thank you so much!
Can the bulbs be fed with chicken manure or bone meal?
After watching your video I did it with my Mother of Pearl rose and in two years, the main cane became extremely thick and turned woody. It really works
Where do you get your bare root roses
Just brought our bulb in from the garden and put it in the garage to go dormant. It's going to be brutally cold over the winter. Will it still bloom around the holidays if I just put it in a pot indoors instead?
I would store it in a 50 degree spot inside and let it go dormant for about 4 weeks in a dark spot and let dry out ect. And re pot inside so you can force it to bloom inside during winter. Or you can try just potting it inside and see if it will bloom. You have no control of its bloom time though, if you don’t force it into dormancy.
@FlowerFanatic Thank you. I'll leave it in the garage for a month since it'll probably be close to that temp, and lower. Then I'll have it potted and brought indoors.

Yes
When is the best time to plant a cherry blossom tree?
Fall or early spring
This is informative and helpful! Thank you!

I saw in your later video that they were inside growing, is there a way to keep them dormant through the winter I live in Ohio, but I want to do this. Was hoping that they would stay dormant till spring if I put them in the garage or something.
I saw your video digging them up, but I thought they would stay dormant in the pots. I live in Ohio and it’s not realistic for me to grow them over the winter in big pots inside. So they don’t go dormant? Is there a way to keep them dormant until spring?
I tried this last year and my amaryllis bulbs were stunted. Any ideas why? They still bloomed but they were very short.
What is good in this? No way I just explained these news. Can it be eaten? Nobody has put a comment on that. I am confused
What can you do with this? Can you eat the leaves? No way I just mentioned
Hi how do u become a master gardener? I like to grow my own fruits, but most of my trees and bushes are suffering. I do a lot of research, but cant seem to find enough information to fix the issues.
I guess you don’t live in Arizona. You will hit rock after inches
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
it's a hyacinth bulbs made me itchy that's only thing not rest bulbs don't do to u like that lol handle it w gloves if u goin plant bulbs of hyacinth again lol
Gorgeous roses that's for sure! I have Joe Pye weed 'Gateway', yes it gets massive, too large for some of the positions I had placed it. A few years ago I got a new one called 'Ruby', it's awesome cause it truly is a compact grower that one can tuck even into smaller beds and it will not overtake, the big varieties are fine as long as sited correctly.
Ohhh, I LOVE the snakeroots, I have two varieties, 'Chocoholic' and 'Black Negligee' that I have recently divided for a total of ten plants, my acreage yard is massive, I need all the divisions I can get! Are yours flowering this year, the fragrance is awesome like grape pop! LOL.
Great tips ! I add industrial grade perlite {which are bigger pieces} to my large containers soil mix with a 3" to 4" bottom layer of real bark chips and foam chucks {@1" squares} at the bottom topped with a screening material to keep the upper soil from trickling down. On the topic of "Sweet soil" besides the lime added for sweetness, add crushed up eggshells, {sand size or smaller} to the potting soil for permanent alkalinity since the lime can rinse away or be buffered by fertilizers and rain. I just ordered a dwarf miss kim and have already made up the soil to "ripen" WHICH REMINDS me ! When making your sweet soil with lime, it's important to premix the soil, that should be damp, and let it rest for a couple of weeks with periodic mixing every couple days. This procedure allows the soil to mellow and not allow the lime to burn the roots....which will happen with fresh mixed lime.
Can’t wait for mine to grow!!
What to do for a new plant that I planted two months ago in pot ( no flower ) zone 6 PA. ?
"My Husband". What's his name? 🤣 Thanks for the series, I think I'm about to get go-ahead from "The Boss" to start something similar here in Edinburgh (UK) and this has answered a few questions. Did you think about dual level shelving, that's very common here (with the upper shelves being narrower than the bench level).
Need patience with her, take too long to get to the point!
You know…it was one of my first videos putting myself out there. I know it was long, but you could catch me a break. It’s a pretty good tip. I should give an update video on this. I get so many comments like this.
Is there anything to look out for when pruning delphinium?
Yeah
To everyone, happy planting 😅
Thanks for sharing your tip Terry that's so true
I like peach and purple
How did you chill them? I’m in zone 5. My basement is warm. Garage too cold. No room in fridge. No cellar
Do you have an OF?
Yooo I just subscribed. I dug up two lilacs that are small and tall. I want them to grow wider versus taller. When do I cut these little lilac trees down to about 12"? They have never flowered yet. They're currently 3 ft tall.
Ooops I have planted my bulbs late August hope they will be OK in the uk weather 😮
I’m sure they will be fine! Just make sure they don’t rot from to much water. What’s your weather like?
@@FlowerFanatic lol well, in england you can get anything weather wise, but not too extreme either way, we've had a wet summer, about 20 degrees at the moment. I've planet my bulbs in 3 layer sections to give them a chance of getting a variety of the year, and to increase survival rate, am fairly new too gardening, so still learning, thanks for your reply.
You'll be fine, as it gets them to establish their roots before it gets really cold. I'm based in London. Just make sure you cover them with netting or chicken wife as squirrels are out and about causing me a lot of headache.
It's been a year since you planted these. Any updates on the growth?
Hello Yes it’s been along time. Hope All is well. Your channel has grown as it should. Your always have great content. My channel grows in spurts. 😆 The hydrangeas are gorgeous💚
Did it work???
Why are they called Stock Flower?
Wear some gloves
Can I transplant my bleeding heart bush now in August? Or should I wait?
It's glyphosate!!
I know
Thank you
Could they take sunrise to 11 am sun in 7b? Thank you for the info
Yes
Can I just some in a spray bottle and cut them spray instead of using a brush?
