I just love your garden and your inspiring tips on growing - thank you so much for sharing! 💚 That Hydrangea room really looks glorious! Here in Norway we do use the method of freezing flowers in buckets - but we do it mainly in the winter time when it is snowing and freezing outside. Then instead of using it as an ice bucket you can put fairly lights or candles inside them and they become these beautiful ice sculptures lit up from inside. Excellent for lining the entrance area for instance. I sometimes use some of the Amaryllis that are about to go over for this. Can look really nice for the Holiday celebrations, and the bonus is that there is way less cleanup when they eventually melt 😊🤩
Hahaha I live in Northwest Florida, and the humidity is 99% almost every single day. I took a vacation to South Florida a few weeks ago, and the humidity down there is only 75-80% and the temp is always like 5-10 degrees less than here! It blew my mind! But yes, the Lord helped me get on a "Florida schedule" this year as I am trying to start growing cut flowers on top of starting a business maintaining other people's flower bed. So I have to wake up around 6am, work outside until maybe 10-11am and do inside stuff until between 2-3pm, and then back outside till it gets dark around 8pm. So I have to take atleast 2 showers a day, sometimes 3 if I wake up feeling not so awake. Thank you so much for reaching me about flowers and helping me to start my own business working with them! May the Lord bless you, your family, and your home and garden mightily in the name of Jesus!
Hi Danielle. You have inspired me so much over the past two years. Today i am delivering 10 containers of flowers and greens to the local seniors home for a fun workshop on ball jar bouquets. My mom passed away there during Covid 1-/2 yrs ago. I know she would have enjoyed it. I wish i could send you a pic of all the goodies they will have to play with. Anyway. Thank you
I'm always so impressed by your ability to keep up with all your different beds and planting times. Everything looks so cohesive & put together, while mine all just look like hot messes, ha ha I feel like the flower ice bucket is something that might look more impressive if it sat on a clear glass pedestal that maybe was placed inside a larger, yet shallow glass dish filled with water and more floating fresh flowers. This way, as the ice melted, it might look somewhat like a water feature of dripping water into another water feature, if that makes sense. I do agree that more ice cubes with frozen flowers in them might be a good idea too, but this is a lot of work for something that won't last.
Ok … I was just thinking the same thing! Even my pots have like ten different things in them because I think something didn’t take … and then it pop up. Cohesive! That the word for next year. Thanks for finding the right word for what Danielle’s got going on at Northlawn Flower Farm … and what I’d like to get a little myself.
@@coloradotulips I hope you're able to have Cohesive next year. So much of getting that look requires planning this year, and I'm not a good planner. Requires me to stay focused. 😉🌻🥀💮 I see a plant at the store I like and it comes home with me. I try to figure out where to put it later. Sometimes it's just where it happens to survive.
@@UnderAPileOfScrap I’m glad not to be the only one! So true. I may just have to start planning now, maybe take more pictures and note when a particular plant really starts taking off. Thank you!
You've encouraged me to plant sunflowers and zinnias. We had such a wet spring I didn't get those two flowers in and I miss them. You have convinced me it's not too late. 🌿💗🌿
Your gardens are very beautiful. Although I'm in my 70's I'm a fairly new gardener. I was busy nursing and waited till I retired. I love getting in the yards and working hard to make them beautiful. I need tips on preparing the soil, my biggest problem no it seems. What did you put on your lilac's after you planted them? Any tips on lime, manure, etc? Thank you for the videos.
Beautiful lilies! You are such a good example to anyone thinking about growing and selling flowers and the work and planning it takes to keep on as long as you can with those succession plants. Rocky was very cute and was really enjoying his garden time with you.
Thank you the tip about another crop of nigella. Never thought of that. Of course they self seed here and then bloom next spring. I appreciate all the info you give us about succession sowing/planting.
I think your ice bucket is beautiful! I love it without using too many flowers because the ice looks like crystal. I love rose of sharon. They're always full of colorful blooms in summer. So nice to see.
The ice bucket is beautiful! I absolutely love it. Your lilies are so gorgeous. Unfortunately I can’t grow many because the deer love them as much as I do lol.
Funny thing .. I removed the ranunculus from my tree garden, which were my first success, sprout to bloom and the squirrels or rabbits started break off the straw flower stalks.. Has that ever happened to you or anyone? It was my first attempt for cool flowered not much grew. Many challenges. Anyways thanks for the tour and bringing us along. The ice flower bowl is cool! I put the flowers face out.. looks better to me. I used milk cartons.. flowers stay put for the most part. Then rip off the carton..
Oh wow your garden is just bursting with color and love! AS ALWAYS!!! You truly have a God given gift : ) Thank you for sharing. Those Eastern moon lilies are breathtaking.
You are such an inspiration! I have just planted my fourth Sunflower succession, and the third Zinnia one, but you have inspired me to plant Nigella and Cerinthe. I am also waiting patiently for my Editha Lily to bloom. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and love for the garden.
I’m still thinking about what to sow right now so this was very helpful! I want to carefully plan what I will fall sow of cool flowers and the space needed for them. I’ve got to go back and watch the Deep Dive about cool flowers you have. 😊 I put a PW Baby Kim in a container. That will be her “vacation” home for a couple of years. I do love the floral ice bucket-very cool! 🌸
I really enjoy your videos. I was muted surprised to hear on Instagram that you deal with anger. You're such a sweet person but I understand we all have our personality struggles. I deal with anger too so I understand how gardening can be a way of dealing with the excess energy that you have to release. Its none of my business if u don't care to answer but I know for me, knowing what and why the anger stems from is a big help in confronting the issue. Mine was abuse in many forms. I also deal with much fear, which they say are relayed. As a Christian, I know the scriptures that we must apply and I try to. And thru prayer and the help from the Holy Spirit, He gives you peace. I will pray that the Lord will help you to find your path of victory over it. And remember your adversary roams about seeking whom he may devour! so watch, listen,use scripture, and obey His Word and we win in the end!! Amen? Keep gardening, we love it!!
Love the lilies and Mahogany Splender together - it’s a hit in my book! And that Editha is stunning!! You’ve inspired me to try planting some late sunflowers. 💚🌻
Everything looks great Danielle💖🌸Rocky was your trusty companion today😊I have been planting successions of sunflowers and zinnias. This is my first attempt at making bouquets to give away. I need to do a lot better at planning for filler flowers and foliage. I do have some lemon basil that has been nice with the flowers 💐
I really like the lillies and mahogany splendor together. The splendor makes the color in the lily stand out! Aldo love the ice bucket! Would be fun for a special occasion.
You are really an inspiration. Gotta get the fall flowers in! When you showed the lilies at the beginning it took my breath away. Keep up the good work.
It's beautiful, especially the lilies. I can't grow likies well in my current home because the deer are impossible. But I grew up with them , especially the formosa lilies, and used to grow them. One day i hope to move somewhere i can go back to growing everything I want instead of having it become an expensive salad bar for the wildlife. 😀 Just fyi, I keep hearing multiple folks mispronouncing cerinthe lately. In American English, it has 3 syllables, ser-IN-thee. I think it was a little easier back when I was a younger adult because there were several gardening shows on channels like PBS and then later HGTV. Now, I think most people are watching mainly You Tube so if a couple people say it wrong, everyone else assumes they are right and then they say it that way, too. 😀
P.s. your rose of sharon hedge is wonderful! Where I am from, we often call rose of sharon/hibiscus syriacus, althea. Althea is an old fashioned name for them, I think. But I have never seen ones as large and mature as yours. They are practically trees in your hedge and I love it!
I just have a garden, garden, harvesting to share with family, and I take a bouquet to my post office on Monday's, I'm just 2 doors. After seeing this tho, I think I'm going to sow things I forgot. Gosh, I completely forgot about the spotted lantern menus, I haven't seen those yet here on the shore in Maryland, hope to never see that Joro spider.
I love the ice bucket! I think you are right that maybe taller would be better, I’m thinking a black floral harvest bucket might do the trick. I want to try this now :) I love your rose lilies, I ordered a bunch this year and they haven’t bloomed just yet so it’s nice to see yours.
And yes it’s hot and humid here too, the usual routine is a few quick dips in the pool (the kids small pool, but it does the trick) so I only have to shower once at the end of the day 😂
I'm sad comments are disabled for the June video. I also planted a Tricolor Beech last fall and having the same question and was really excited to learn from the replies.
I love ur channel. It is humid here in CT not to fond of rose of sharon because it self seeds everywhere. I would love to open a cut flower stand. Mayb next year so i can plant more flowers. I have 18 different hydrangeas but need more cut flowers 💐
You mentioned how you choose when to plant your flowers.. for anyone that needs more help with succession planting veggies, I know my local university (UIUC) extension office has a really detailed planting guide for any veggie you could think of.
Very "cool" idea with the flower ice bucket 🪣 😀 👌 it's been soo dry here. Big drought going on and lawns are brown and cripsy. One plus about that is there doesn't seem to be very many mosquitoes! 🦟 I hadn't thought about sowing more love in a mist. Now you got me thinking I should start that too lol
Thank you for encouraging me to direct seed some nasturtium and love-in-a-mist now. Bupleurum was a bust for me this spring. What did germinate was very weak stemmed and did not survive. Let's see if I have better luck now.
Your garden still looks beautiful! You gave me an idea. I am going to sow some nigella and corn flower directly in my flower beds. They are looking blah right now😟. Hope I will get some color in two months. Thanks Danielle!
I think the ice bucket looks like a bowl because you used a bowl for the mold? If you use an ice bucket, I think it will look like one. And I do think you could definitely use more flowers, maybe think of it like decoupage and layer it with some leaves. But very good for a first try!! I like Rose of Sharon, too, and everything looks amazing 💚
Your garden is so beautiful. I definitely need to add more lillies! I am still planting some of my winter sowing out of their containers, i am pulling some of the poppies, and putting in snapdragons. We added more vegetable beds this year, and I am still figuring those out, and putting in some more crops now i have pulled some.
I bought the Cool flowers book and just received it. I really want to turn more of my yard into flower garden spaces but we have deer and I already have to go out almost every single night to spray nearly every single plant with red chili 🌶 pepper spray to steer them away. Hubby says he doesn’t want to see poles and deer netting all over the yard. 😢 Deer were seen on my security cameras numerous times last night over a 4 hour period. They ate some hostas (one almost completely ). If i don’t get every square inch covered in spray, it’s getting destroyed 😭😭😭😭😭 It’s so irritating that I sometimes just want to rip it all out and give up. Also, we have several lily (maybe 3 dozen or so) and we get maybe 10 blooms because the deer will eat the flower buds before they open
Grrrr. So tough with deer. Something are every hosta I had last season.Cute little Bunnies. 🥴 Trying liquid fence this year. Planted some bare root this year & I think they're getting them the second anything green comes up.
I live in Melbourne Australia and we have no deer here in the city but I feel your pain as we have possums that totally eat everything during summer and spring in the garden, they have killed a beautiful Japanese maple and are on the way to killing a ornamental pear! So you are niot alone.
I love all your content! I notice something though. Do you ever fertilize when you plant? I don’t think I ever remember you fertilizing. Do you? And, why not? I’m curious.
Just love your garden and videos. I keep admiring your arches and was wondering how sturdy they are? Also, what is the height of your raised beds? Thank you so much!
Hi, when you plant seeds, Could you teach is how you water and how much you water and how often do you water? I don't have much luck Growing Seeds -- which is really a bummer. Thank you
Thanks for the video, never thought of sowing love in a mist for a fall harvest will do that today, l pulled out bupleurum and was thinking of sowing some more on the east side of the house where it gets afternoon shade, have you ever tried it for fall? My flower stand has slowed down a bit which is typical for me in July, I live in the same county as you.
You sold me on starting some nigella esp since I’m in 9b and have lots of time…. But the Love in the Mist has turned in to Grief in the Smoky haze of California. No germination at all 😞 even tho my sunflowers and heat tolerant broccoli’s popped right up…?? Should I have put the seeds in the fridge before planting?
I’m learning so much from your videos. I do have a question. I have some ornamental kale and viola seeds that I’d like to plant out in the fall in my 6b central KS garden. When should I start those seeds? We are in a two week span of over 100 degree temps, but I don’t want to miss my window and start too late.
Also you’ve convinced me to sow more love in a mist too. Certain flowers are hard to know if they are cut and come again or succession, or if they don’t grow in hot temps are they only used as a cool flower… etc. once you introduced me to love in a mist a year or two ago it has been a favorite!!!!
Hi Danielle - thank you for your beautiful channel and sharing your knowledge with us. I am from South Africa (we would be a zone 11 in USA terms); and we are in the middle of winter at the moment (the coldest we get is typically -4 Celsius when we have a very cold spell :)), I have planted Asiatic and oriental lilies for the first time. Do these lilies only have one stem per bulb, or multiple stems? I am scared to cut of the main stem, and then not have any other flowers for the rest of the season. Your garden is stunning and you are an inspiration. Helana
Hi friend! Each bulb will send up one stem. Generally the first year that single stem will have a few buds. In subsequent years you will get more buds but still on that single stem. I try and leave 1/3 of the foliage behind when cutting so the bulb can regenerate itself for next year. The more foliage you leave, the stronger, taller, and more flower buds you'll receive the following year. I hope that helps!
Hi Danielle, I was wondering how you keep groundhogs and raccoons from eating many of your flowers. My sunflowers, cosmos and even marigolds got devoured by them. I had to secure my veggie bed with chicken wire to salvage my peppers and tomatoes. Lettuce and swiss chard were the first to be eaten before installing the chicken fencing. lol. If you have any advice or tips on how to minimize the damage please let me know. I've noticed that your beds are not protected and that you don't seem to have these issues. Thank you for your videos they are truly inspiring.
I'm so sorry to hear that Helen! I don't personally have that issue, but my mom does. She has her blueberries and strawberries covered with bird netting. I know she also plants allysum around alot of things, but it seems like created a barrier is the only thing that truly works for her.
Where did you get your Editha rose Lily from? I ordered one from Breck's, and when it bloomed, it was just a single, pink Lily. Still pretty, but I was disappointed ☹️
Hi Danielle, thanks for a great video as usual! The ice bucket was a cool idea! Lol, no pun intended. Please, please let me know any experience you've had with the SLFlies. I just discovered the nymphs on my rose bushes last week. I reported to NJ dept agriculture. Only thing so far that's worked is dawn dish soap. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get any other info on what to do. Are they going to ruin my garden or am I panicking for no reason??
Hi Pam! I have them here, and we had them in huge numbers at the farm I used to manage. Here is what's working best for me - try and kill them as young as possible and early in the morning. If you feel comfortable with insecticidal soap that will work well on the first and second instar. Once they turn red that does not seem as effective. At work I used a shop vac to get them off the trees. Try and get them from behind, that seems to help a bit with how they jump. The only lasting damage I'm seeing so far is to one of our willows. I failed to notice a huge population two years ago.
Garden looking awesome, it’s changing so fast I would love to see maybe 2 garden tour in this months where things changes fast?! Also for the bucket if you boil the water and let it cool down before freezing it you can get clearer ice (no bubbles no cloudy parts) Also how is the dynatrap going? Does it work? Thank for your content!
Hi friend! Thanks for this great information! I'll try that next time. Unfortunately, the dynatrap is not working on the asian tiger mosquito. I can stand right next to it and still get bit. I saw some people comment that it worked for them, so I'm not sure if it's this particular mosquito or if I'm doing something wrong.
Hi Danielle, love your garden/farm and videos. Hydrangeas are one of my most favorite flowers too! I have a question regarding watering. We have very hot and humid summer like you. I have a new found love for cut flowers and started a small garden, but I'm having the hardest time figuring out when and how much to water. I have a 4 × 12' raised bed on 1/4" drip tube with 6" spacing. How often should I water a bed that size with zinnias, dahlias, and snap dragons? I was watering morning and evening for about 8-10mins when it was 100° but the plants are still yellowing and drying so I thought I was underwatering but could it be overwatering?
After you have watered for 10 min, test to see how deep the water has gone down, dig a small hole with a trowel or stick your finger in. A moisture meter is handy too. Might take a a few times before you know how long to water. Before watering again test to see how wet the soil is.
@@freyaa1905 Hi, thanks for responding. I always see water draining out the sides of the raised beds, which makes me think it has plenty of water but the plant's leaves are yellow and struggling so I thought maybe they're not getting enough. Maybe I am over watering. I should cut back and see how they do. It's hard to tell since the signs of over and under water are the same.
I've been having problems with Japanese beetles on some of my petunias & not thinking, I sprayed them with Sevin spray roughly around 6pm on a sunny hot day (I live in West Virginia) about 30 mins later they appear to be bleached/burnt!! 😬 I'm so upset with myself! I've been trying to research & haven't had much luck with what to do.... Ahhhh! HELP! If anyone knows what to do or has ANY info plzzz let me kno. Thank u!
Danielle, can you tell me what the soil in your raised beds consist of and if/how you amend them each new planting season? This is my first year with raised beds and I feel like my ratio is off in these beds because my cut flowers are not thriving like they did last year in the ground 🙃 we are in the midst of a long drought here in Western New York so that hasnt helped either... anyway hoping you can help with info on the raised beds:) thank you!
Hi Kelly! I use a combo of our native soil and our homemade compost. One year I added leaf mold and that was great. If it's a hungry crop I will top the bed with compost before seeding. I purchased some top soil from a big company this year. I was concerned about what I saw, but it seems to be working out well so far.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens thank you! I had read to add aeration so I used perlite. I thnk it was a mistake or maybe I added too much. Hopefully I can correct this over time by progressively adding in more compost :)
Oh my gosh I posted this 30 seconds before your tidbit abt rohrer… I just bought the same cerinthe packet and direct seeded a few last week. Growing them purely for the seeds this summer because there are only 25 in the packet! Fingers crossed I will have some for my october wedding too 🤞🏼
Your ice bucket looked pretty, but I think the idea is pretty impractical, because if you leave it out where it can be seen, it will melt everywhere. 🤷♀️ Seems like a pretty mess. Ha ha
I like the ice bucket. Maybe could use to hole fruit for a garden party

I'm sad comments are disabled for the June video. I also planted a Tricolor Beech last fall and having the same question and was really excited to learn from the replies.
So beautiful! This is my best year ever for asiatic/oriental lilies. I did the floral ice bucket years ago and yours looks much better lol.
I also planted Steve’s sunflowers!! Can’t wait to see them bloom. Love love love your garden!!
I love the ice bucket so much! I think yours look beautiful!
Chopsticks work really well to handle seeding and pricking out seedlings.
I love ur channel. It is humid here in CT not to fond of rose of sharon because it self seeds everywhere. I would love to open a cut flower stand. Mayb next year so i can plant more flowers. I have 18 different hydrangeas but need more cut flowers 💐
You mentioned how you choose when to plant your flowers.. for anyone that needs more help with succession planting veggies, I know my local university (UIUC) extension office has a really detailed planting guide for any veggie you could think of.
Love the ice bucket for a garden party!!
I like the ice bucket idea! I just planted Rose of Sharon last Fall. No blooms this year. Hopefully next year.
The ice bucket looks awesome😍
For the lantern flies, I started using a fly swatter. It works really well.
Very "cool" idea with the flower ice bucket 🪣 😀 👌 it's been soo dry here. Big drought going on and lawns are brown and cripsy. One plus about that is there doesn't seem to be very many mosquitoes! 🦟 I hadn't thought about sowing more love in a mist. Now you got me thinking I should start that too lol
Very informative as always. Thank you.
Never thought to plant Nigella this time of year! You mentioned your drying rack. I would love to hear more about that ! Your garden is beautiful!
The lilac hedge should be lovely. I’m starting some fall tomatoes. First time ever.
I love the ice bucket. 💗
I loved the ice bucket! Beautiful!
I think a taller bucket would look better. Fun idea though!
Thank you for encouraging me to direct seed some nasturtium and love-in-a-mist now. Bupleurum was a bust for me this spring. What did germinate was very weak stemmed and did not survive. Let's see if I have better luck now.
Your garden still looks beautiful! You gave me an idea. I am going to sow some nigella and corn flower directly in my flower beds. They are looking blah right now😟. Hope I will get some color in two months. Thanks Danielle!
Love your videos and your garden is gorgeous!
I love it with the hibiscus so pretty!
I think the ice bucket looks like a bowl because you used a bowl for the mold? If you use an ice bucket, I think it will look like one. And I do think you could definitely use more flowers, maybe think of it like decoupage and layer it with some leaves. But very good for a first try!! I like Rose of Sharon, too, and everything looks amazing 💚
Your garden is so beautiful. I definitely need to add more lillies! I am still planting some of my winter sowing out of their containers, i am pulling some of the poppies, and putting in snapdragons.
We added more vegetable beds this year, and I am still figuring those out, and putting in some more crops now i have pulled some.
Quanta flor linda!! Você é fonte de inspiração. Nova inscrita. Quero acompanhar tanta beleza.
loved it
Hi Danielle, I made something similar from one of my MS books and she recommended using "distilled water" because thei ice will freeze clearer.
Thank you!!
I bought the Cool flowers book and just received it. I really want to turn more of my yard into flower garden spaces but we have deer and I already have to go out almost every single night to spray nearly every single plant with red chili 🌶 pepper spray to steer them away. Hubby says he doesn’t want to see poles and deer netting all over the yard. 😢 Deer were seen on my security cameras numerous times last night over a 4 hour period. They ate some hostas (one almost completely ). If i don’t get every square inch covered in spray, it’s getting destroyed 😭😭😭😭😭 It’s so irritating that I sometimes just want to rip it all out and give up. Also, we have several lily (maybe 3 dozen or so) and we get maybe 10 blooms because the deer will eat the flower buds before they open
Grrrr. So tough with deer. Something are every hosta I had last season.Cute little Bunnies. 🥴 Trying liquid fence this year. Planted some bare root this year & I think they're getting them the second anything green comes up.
I live in Melbourne Australia and we have no deer here in the city but I feel your pain as we have possums that totally eat everything during summer and spring in the garden, they have killed a beautiful Japanese maple and are on the way to killing a ornamental pear! So you are niot alone.
I love all your content! I notice something though. Do you ever fertilize when you plant? I don’t think I ever remember you fertilizing. Do you? And, why not? I’m curious.
Danielle where did you get the fe black trellis in the hydrangea garden. They are beautiful.
Just love your garden and videos. I keep admiring your arches and was wondering how sturdy they are? Also, what is the height of your raised beds? Thank you so much!
Hi, when you plant seeds, Could you teach is how you water and how much you water and how often do you water? I don't have much luck Growing Seeds -- which is really a bummer. Thank you
Thanks for the video, never thought of sowing love in a mist for a fall harvest will do that today, l pulled out bupleurum and was thinking of sowing some more on the east side of the house where it gets afternoon shade, have you ever tried it for fall? My flower stand has slowed down a bit which is typical for me in July, I live in the same county as you.
Hi friend! Yes I have tried that! I had better germination starting later bupleurum successions inside.
Thanks alot
Nice
You sold me on starting some nigella esp since I’m in 9b and have lots of time…. But the Love in the Mist has turned in to Grief in the Smoky haze of California. No germination at all 😞 even tho my sunflowers and heat tolerant broccoli’s popped right up…?? Should I have put the seeds in the fridge before planting?
I’m learning so much from your videos. I do have a question. I have some ornamental kale and viola seeds that I’d like to plant out in the fall in my 6b central KS garden. When should I start those seeds? We are in a two week span of over 100 degree temps, but I don’t want to miss my window and start too late.
I think the ice bucket was cute and would be more stunning if you got the flower heads to open facing outward.
Also you’ve convinced me to sow more love in a mist too. Certain flowers are hard to know if they are cut and come again or succession, or if they don’t grow in hot temps are they only used as a cool flower… etc. once you introduced me to love in a mist a year or two ago it has been a favorite!!!!
Hi Danielle - thank you for your beautiful channel and sharing your knowledge with us. I am from South Africa (we would be a zone 11 in USA terms); and we are in the middle of winter at the moment (the coldest we get is typically -4 Celsius when we have a very cold spell :)), I have planted Asiatic and oriental lilies for the first time. Do these lilies only have one stem per bulb, or multiple stems? I am scared to cut of the main stem, and then not have any other flowers for the rest of the season.
Your garden is stunning and you are an inspiration. Helana
Hi friend! Each bulb will send up one stem. Generally the first year that single stem will have a few buds. In subsequent years you will get more buds but still on that single stem. I try and leave 1/3 of the foliage behind when cutting so the bulb can regenerate itself for next year. The more foliage you leave, the stronger, taller, and more flower buds you'll receive the following year. I hope that helps!
Hi Danielle, I was wondering how you keep groundhogs and raccoons from eating many of your flowers. My sunflowers, cosmos and even marigolds got devoured by them. I had to secure my veggie bed with chicken wire to salvage my peppers and tomatoes. Lettuce and swiss chard were the first to be eaten before installing the chicken fencing. lol. If you have any advice or tips on how to minimize the damage please let me know. I've noticed that your beds are not protected and that you don't seem to have these issues. Thank you for your videos they are truly inspiring.
I'm so sorry to hear that Helen! I don't personally have that issue, but my mom does. She has her blueberries and strawberries covered with bird netting. I know she also plants allysum around alot of things, but it seems like created a barrier is the only thing that truly works for her.
Where did you get your Editha rose Lily from? I ordered one from Breck's, and when it bloomed, it was just a single, pink Lily. Still pretty, but I was disappointed ☹️
Hi Danielle, thanks for a great video as usual! The ice bucket was a cool idea! Lol, no pun intended. Please, please let me know any experience you've had with the SLFlies. I just discovered the nymphs on my rose bushes last week. I reported to NJ dept agriculture. Only thing so far that's worked is dawn dish soap. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get any other info on what to do. Are they going to ruin my garden or am I panicking for no reason??
Hi Pam! I have them here, and we had them in huge numbers at the farm I used to manage. Here is what's working best for me - try and kill them as young as possible and early in the morning. If you feel comfortable with insecticidal soap that will work well on the first and second instar. Once they turn red that does not seem as effective. At work I used a shop vac to get them off the trees. Try and get them from behind, that seems to help a bit with how they jump. The only lasting damage I'm seeing so far is to one of our willows. I failed to notice a huge population two years ago.
Where on here can we tell what the date is that she is presenting this??? thanks
How long did it take you to get a steady flow of people purchasing your flowers at your stand?
Garden looking awesome, it’s changing so fast I would love to see maybe 2 garden tour in this months where things changes fast?! Also for the bucket if you boil the water and let it cool down before freezing it you can get clearer ice (no bubbles no cloudy parts) Also how is the dynatrap going? Does it work? Thank for your content!
Hi friend! Thanks for this great information! I'll try that next time. Unfortunately, the dynatrap is not working on the asian tiger mosquito. I can stand right next to it and still get bit. I saw some people comment that it worked for them, so I'm not sure if it's this particular mosquito or if I'm doing something wrong.
Hi Danielle, love your garden/farm and videos. Hydrangeas are one of my most favorite flowers too! I have a question regarding watering. We have very hot and humid summer like you. I have a new found love for cut flowers and started a small garden, but I'm having the hardest time figuring out when and how much to water. I have a 4 × 12' raised bed on 1/4" drip tube with 6" spacing. How often should I water a bed that size with zinnias, dahlias, and snap dragons? I was watering morning and evening for about 8-10mins when it was 100° but the plants are still yellowing and drying so I thought I was underwatering but could it be overwatering?
After you have watered for 10 min, test to see how deep the water has gone down, dig a small hole with a trowel or stick your finger in. A moisture meter is handy too. Might take a a few times before you know how long to water. Before watering again test to see how wet the soil is.
@@freyaa1905 Hi, thanks for responding. I always see water draining out the sides of the raised beds, which makes me think it has plenty of water but the plant's leaves are yellow and struggling so I thought maybe they're not getting enough. Maybe I am over watering. I should cut back and see how they do. It's hard to tell since the signs of over and under water are the same.
I've been having problems with Japanese beetles on some of my petunias & not thinking, I sprayed them with Sevin spray roughly around 6pm on a sunny hot day (I live in West Virginia) about 30 mins later they appear to be bleached/burnt!! 😬 I'm so upset with myself! I've been trying to research & haven't had much luck with what to do.... Ahhhh! HELP! If anyone knows what to do or has ANY info plzzz let me kno. Thank u!
How do you keep the red lily beetle off your plants
Do you have veggie garden also?
Danielle, can you tell me what the soil in your raised beds consist of and if/how you amend them each new planting season? This is my first year with raised beds and I feel like my ratio is off in these beds because my cut flowers are not thriving like they did last year in the ground 🙃 we are in the midst of a long drought here in Western New York so that hasnt helped either... anyway hoping you can help with info on the raised beds:) thank you!
Hi Kelly! I use a combo of our native soil and our homemade compost. One year I added leaf mold and that was great. If it's a hungry crop I will top the bed with compost before seeding. I purchased some top soil from a big company this year. I was concerned about what I saw, but it seems to be working out well so far.
@@NorthlawnFlowerFarmandGardens thank you! I had read to add aeration so I used perlite. I thnk it was a mistake or maybe I added too much. Hopefully I can correct this over time by progressively adding in more compost :)
How many days from seed to harvest for zinnia and snapdragon
I can see a water mess overflowing the plate as the ice bucket melts
Do you shop at Rohrer for seeds? Much love from zone 7 cecil county md an hour from southern lanc :)
Oh my gosh I posted this 30 seconds before your tidbit abt rohrer… I just bought the same cerinthe packet and direct seeded a few last week. Growing them purely for the seeds this summer because there are only 25 in the packet! Fingers crossed I will have some for my october wedding too 🤞🏼
Your ice bucket looked pretty, but I think the idea is pretty impractical, because if you leave it out where it can be seen, it will melt everywhere. 🤷♀️ Seems like a pretty mess. Ha ha
