- Welcome to the July Cottage Garden tour! 🌺🏡🌿
In this video, you'll get a glimpse of the beauty that grew from tiny seeds. All these lovely flowers started either through winter sowing or indoors with the help of grow lights in seed trays. It was a labor of love watching them grow, and I couldn't wait to see them flourish outside.
Mother Nature had a surprise in store when a devastating flood hit on 7/1. Thankfully, the garden held up remarkably well, and I feel grateful for its resilience. It's still as beautiful as ever! Thank goodness!
As I take you through the garden, you'll be treated to a delightful array of colors, textures, and lovely scents. Most flowers thrived after their indoor or winter sowing start, but I decided to get adventurous with the zinnias and directly sowed them, and they turned out stunning!
This July Cottage Garden tour celebrates the journey of nurturing life from seed to bloom and the small joys that a garden can bring. Join me for a silly and heartwarming experience, where natures beauty shines through effortlessly.
I hope you enjoy this tour in the peak of summertime as much as I do and that you are encouraged to start your own seeds in your own space. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you will say hello in the comments.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for watching!

Thank you so much for showing me the Tithonia last yr. I am growing and loving it. It's my absolute favorite. I have almost the exact same flowers as you, I'm in Rocky Mount Virginia.
Love your weeds! -I follow the same philosophy. My newest adoration is the henbit is a pretty little dog faced flower. Don't fight mother nature & allow a few weeds (wild violet) to grow and they will choke out the more unsightly weeds. I've done this with my front beds & it works great in an English garden spirit without much work.
I’ve used milk on my squash plants to combat powdery mildew. It will smell bad for a few days but it really works. I know it’s too late for this garden but it’s something you can try if you have this problem in the future
Tell me more! I didn't plant much of anything food wise because of this issue last season and I sure missed it. I don't want to mildew again though. Looking forward to hearing how you applied this, how often etc.
I am glad I found your videos and love your garden. I have Bee Balm in my garden that gets powdery mildew every year as well as a black Crape Myrtle that gets the same thing. This past year I tried using baking soda mixed with water and a little bit of dish soap. It worked like a charm and got rid of about 90% of my powdery mildew issue. It probably would have worked 100% if I had been more diligent in applying more often and did some pruning but I will definitely be using it this year before the powdery mildew takes hold.
Tell me more. How did you apply it? I am researching non stop on how to combat it this upcoming year.
It is wonderful to hear your enthusiasm and encouragement for others to simply try new things. Throughout several years, I have had many (failures) that turned into lessons learned. No matter the outcome, I continue to give it my best effort. Sometimes, the outcome is amazing. Thank you
Oh my gosh sorry about the flooding woah.
I winter sowed blue forget me not last year- 20 cent dollar store seed- I was in love. I need more of that color!
Also if you have never planted any red marigolds they are heaven. One more suggestion- winter sow strawflowers they are wonderful in bouquets. ❤
Red Marigolds? Ive never heard of them. Where do you find them?
Hi Kim🌺 . The plant looks amazing in the garden after the flood of water . Have anice day .🦋🌺🦋
You have such a beautiful garden and delightful disposition.
Wow and I thought I had it bad with all of my neighbors runoff. My neighbor could not understand why I would build a barrier (garden bed at the fence) to control the water flow. His yard was not my concern because he has the largest plot with no trees or landscape. I refuse to live in a swamp.
Just finding your channel and enjoying the tours. I’m very curious about your greenhouse. I love the look of yours and think the size is perfect. Could you give a little tour of it?
I just loved this video!! It was so nice to see all the flowers during winter!
I grew African Daisies from seed last year, by winter sowing them of course and they were the first daisies I've ever had success growing! They are really cool with a purple center instead of the traditional yellow.
I'm going to give Mexican Sunflowers another shot this year, but by winter sowing them. I tried direct seeding them before and had zero success, but your winter sowed ones are inspiring me to give them another shot. :)
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful garden!
I’m going to try African Daisies also!!! Thank you for the inspiration 😊
So Beautiful!!! And great job on starting everything from seed!!! ♥🌻😍
Sorry about your flood. Looks like nature is undeterred! If I was a bee I would totally sleep in flowers tooooo!
Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank YOU! 😊
Lovely, Kim! I have marigolds (started from seed, winter sown) also, but planted between my tomato plants. They keep insects off the tomatoes. I had what looked like tomato hornworms on my pimento pepper plants, but not on the tomatoes. Interesting use of tomato cages. I use them to keep the deer off my baby redbud seedlings, and sometimes turn the cage upside down. Cool peach raspberries! I have Becky daisies, and they spread like crazy.
Beautiful!
You have a beautiful seed garden.
It looks gorgeous! I love the sleeping bees!
I forgot to say hyssop is one of my favorite perennials! The smell is amazing and so is the bloom time. I love the blue fortune variety
Beautiful garden!
Forget-me-not is on the invasive plant list in several states.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Always look forward to your garden tours! I actually would love your help with some winter sowing advice! I am planning on growing a native pollinator garden for next year entirely from seed using the winter sowing method. I would love to know what native perennials you’d have success winter sowing. Would appreciate it!
So pretty!
I gasped when I saw your garden flooded out on Instagram. But now I'm kinda jealous because we are so dry here in Western Oregon and it looks like your garden benefitted from it.
Can you believe I'm having a hard time growing tithonia? Lol. I think it wants to come live at your house. 😂
The for get me knots can be dried and used in dried wreaths or arrangements
Can they really? They are just so pretty and dainty! Thank you for telling me!
