The Biggest Mistake: Flower Gardening in Spring
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 кві 2024
- Hi! My name is Crane. I grow cut flowers in my suburban cottage home garden in a naturalistic style in New Jersey Zone 7. I make garden bouquets and sell at the roadside stand in front of my house. I also grow all kinds of vegetables and, sometimes, cook. I grow ornamental landscape plants and trees as well as create sanctuary for wildlife, birds, insects, etc. Thank very much for visiting my channel. Any question, please let me know in the comment.
I came for the flowers, I stay for your wisdom, humour and humanity. Crane, I always feel better for watching your videos. Thank you for being you. 🌱
Awww… thank you ☺️😊❤️ your comment just made my day. So happy to hear that
"a pain in the nicotiana!" What the hellebore?! i love that!!!
😅😂🤣😂😅😂🤣
We’re all making mistakes. Crane! I love the way you make mistakes and keep it very light hearted! Great video! Thank you! ❤
Awww… thank you ☺️😊❤️
The celebrations in your garden look so happy! What beautiful memories the children will have making bouquets. I started my small flower farm last season so that I could provide florals for our new wedding venue. On the days when I didn’t have a wedding, I put out a U pick sign and had such a wonderful time letting people cut flowers. They were all so happy in the flowers. I got to meet so many precious people. I also asked them to take a free extra jar to fill up and to give away to bless someone else. I just can’t wait for this new season to spread more flower joy.
Thank you for sharing your mistakes with all of us. I hope you are feeling better!
Awww 🥰 I 100% agree and i am excited for you.
Gardens are to be enjoyed by everyone, kids and adults alike. Thank you for reminding all of us of that.
Your videos are wonderful and very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your garden.
You’re very welcome! 🥰✌🏻 Thank you 🥰
You are the best Crane.....I love your channel, your love for flowers/plants/nature.....your knowledge and your humbleness and humor. Keep it going guys....no where to go but up with UA-cam.
Awww 🥰 Thank you very much 🙏🏻🥰❤️ Thank you very much for joining my little journey 🥰❤️🙏🏻
Buahahahaha!! 😂😂 I burst out loud laughing when you said you learned that ranunculus are a "Pain in the nicotiana!" Then I had to rewind and listen again because it was just so funny and relatable. I think we've all had a plant that just is a pain in the trowel for us all. You are so cute and your videos are always guaranteed to make me happy or ponder something and just be grateful for all the joy that our gardens bring us. ❤ PS your arrangement was gorgeous 😍
😅😂🤣 I am glad you enjoy the video and laugh 😊 Thank you so much for your kind words 🥹❤️🙏🏻
Learning from our mistakes is priceless. But yes unfortunately there is also a real cost to it so if we can learn from your mistakes maybe we save money in the long run.
How nice the kids made arrangements! Enjoyed it.
What a magical garden for an Easter egg hunt! Your nieces and nephews are lucky to have you both.
Also….the reason for the stares in the garden centre…you had me laughing so hard because that’s totally something I would do!
Thank you 😅😂🤣😂😂😅

Crane, this was super helpful for me! Some UA-camrs seem to know everything; I am encouraged to learn that you make mistakes and still have a beautiful home and garden. Keep sharing your triumphs and your wisdom about the human experience.💐🌺🌸

Thank you very much 🙏🏻🥰❤️ I am good now. The rain washed away the pollen little bit this week 😊🥰❤️
Youre videos are informative, grin worthy, heart warming, move fast enough, and you share so much floral and yard beauty and family love. Thank you, from your flower community!

Crane--thank you for bringing happiness, humor, and great tips on growing and designing with flowers. Love your channel! Keep going!
Great video Crane. We all make mistakes as long as we keep learning and trying.
Totally agree 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Laughed out loud about feeling famous yet you are to me and us!! Love you bringing me into your life hole in pants and all🤦♀️gotta love that reality!!
To have one of Gracie’s dahlia how wonderful ! I watch North Lawn Flower Farm she’s so knowledgeable . Lover her new library! Anyway yes learning from just doing is the best part of gardening!!
Happy April!
Thank you 🥰 yes she is!!
What a sweet video Crane! Good information. 🌸🏵🌺🌻🌼
Thank you 🥰 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸😊😊😊😊
I love your humor and heart!
Your Easter tables looked beautiful! It looked like you and your family had a great day!
I wanted to share a gardening mistake/lesson that I learned from.
I had 3 little boys. (All in their 30’s now) One summer they were playing in our backyard and I ran inside the house for something. When I came outside I stood in horror as all the petunias I had planted in a huge barrel on my patio were laying out in the lawn. My 3 year old had taken a whiffle bat and whacked them all off. I think I cried! You know what though? Those petunias came back fuller and more healthier looking in just a few weeks. I learned that those leggy petunias need to be trimmed back mid-summer if you want them to look good. Now every year I trim my petunias around July 4th. I call it the ZACH WHACK! 😂 I think of that day when I’m doing it and wish I had those dear little boys back in my garden trampling my flowers and sending flowers through the air!😍
What a great story. Thank you so much for your support ❤️ thank you Zack! We learn from him 😊🥰❤️
Happy spring Crane and Jason… thank you for always sharing such delightful stories with all of us… I’m so excited I’ll be playing in my dirt tomorrow, pulling weeds, planting a few seeds and just enjoying my little garden… sending you smiles
Thank you 🥰 Happy Gardening. I am also pulling 1 million weeds in my garden.😅😂🤣
I enjoyed and learned so much watching your channel.
I am glad you enjoy the video 😊
When I first started watching, I had to stop and exclaim. I just bought that same blue and white bowl in HomeGoods for flower arranging!💙
😄😄😄😄😄 I bought them for my kitchen but I saw the potential
Uncle Crane, you have just helped me. I was just like you. I was looking over ppl in my garden. I have just learnt that I must allow everyone, especially kids to enjoy and learn in the garden. You have just converted me. Thank you so much. By the way, all your mistakes with ranunclus,I have committed. We learn from our mistakes. I always fail with daffodils. Maybe my climate is not suitable.
Awww 🥰 yes yes yes! 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Another fantastic video. Thank you for sharing your mistakes it will help me to be more mindful…OMG , the gardening center story was hilarious 😂
Thank you 🥰 😅😂🤣🤣🤣
I love your flower arrangements! So happy to have come across your channel.
Awww 🥰 Thank you very much 🙏🏻🥰❤️
My celosia and verbena seedlings 🌱 have been so tiny for weeks. Hopefully the start growing soon. LOL so funny your story! Love 💕 you! 🌼🐝
They will 😊🥰❤️
Crane, you are amazing at growing flowers but I agree , there are some that are a pain in the you know what! I do think you have your seed starting soil too wet. Laura from Garden Answer says you should not be able to squeeze water out of your soil. Keep gardening, you bring joy to many.❤
Awww… thank you ☺️😊❤️ I agree with you and Laura. It will cause algae and mold easily!
Crane, you are a beautiful human being! And you create such beautiful flower arrangements.🌷💐🪻
Thank you so much for your kind words 🥹❤️🙏🏻
That was a funny story! Have fun
😊🥰❤️
I can totally relate to garden mistakes lol. Ranunculus!! OMG! Pain in the nassturtium!
1. Started ranunculus, veggies, sunflowers, zinnias, sweet peas too late.
2. Killed all my anise hyssop seedlings that were looking so gorgeous. Killed some of my bells and tomatoes too.
3. Nearly killed all my rudbeckia and they got stunted. Slowly recovering.
4. Couldn't get any herbs or columbine to germinate 😅
5. Tulips and daffs were a failure. Got 3 nice blooms out og 75 lol!
I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting
(Positive note: had success w/ Lisianthus, Snaps, jalapeños, celosia &nasturtium)
Awww… thank you ☺️😊❤️ for sharing. Seems like you are very positive person. Thank you very much for joining my little journey 🥰❤️🙏🏻
As always love your videos! It is so fun to see kids running and enjoying a garden.
Love the arrangement you made and take care of your health!
Thank you 🥰
One of my favorite things is to have the kiddos arrange bouquets. I show them what’s available, and from those options they can arrange something special to take home. You are a great uncle, good job 👌
That’s awesome. I agree. Thank you 🥰❤️❤️❤️
You're too cute! Love your personality....😊
Thank you 🥰 🥰🥰🥰
You are such an inspiration 🌸💗😊💫🌱🙏
😊🥰❤️
Crane you crack me up! Your obvious joy in all things gardening is so inspiring! I had not thought to put Japanese quince in my arrangements, it is so lovely!❤
😅😅😅😅 😊😊😊😊
Not sure what happened but I think my first comment is missing. I want to say I love the "famous" story and the "DINNER IS READY", lol! Thank you for the reminder that we should enjoy our garden with all. We are making memories after all! Keep doing you Crane!
😅😂😅😂😅😂😅 You’re very welcome! 🥰✌🏻

Hi Crane, how is everything? Hope u are feeling better. U are so funny 😂….it’s hard being a celebrity 👍👍 I’m in central Jersey.. It has been raining …not able to do any gardening. My ground is so wet and can’t walk on it. Ur arrangements are amazing. When can u direct sow seeds outdoors ( like verbena bonariensis , bells of Ireland , love and the mist ) .. ? Thanks. Love ur videos
Thank you very much 🙏🏻🥰❤️ You can sow now. It’s a perfect time. Verbena and perennial might bloom next year though.
I just love your videos! ? Have you ever tried to grow Larkspur. They are so beautiful. Blessings from Southern California 🙏
Thank you 🥰 yes I do. I started them in fall. They are coming strongly now 😊🥰❤️
Thank you for the wonderful video. Have you tried the Darwin type of tulip? They are better at coming back each year.
You’re very welcome! 🥰✌🏻 Thank you 🥰 I will try!
YES, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT TALK ABOUT FALSE INFORMATION , THOSE ARE NOT MISTAKES, BUT MORE INFORMATION FOR US. TRUTHS
