How to grow tulips. How to propagate tulips. Support the channel: www.etsy.com/s... / suburbanhomestead Create a cutting garden and learn how to save and store tulip bulbs.
I came for the tulip advice, but was very happy when you began highlighting the "weed" flowers. I appreciate these flowers too, and am learning about the plants. Hairy bittercress reminds me of baby's breath and looks great alongside tulips. Dead nettle, dandelion, chickweed, creeping charlie, and hairy bittercress (and more) are even edible. One day, I'm going to have a lawn salad! I'm in Maryland, too, and the bees here prefer the dandelions and dead nettle to the tulips. :)
I am going to get me some bulbs this Autumn. They are so expensive. But, after seeing your video, there's hope for me growing some and getting them to multiply. Thanks for the tips :)
Another wonderful and high-quality video! Thank you so much for all the effort you put into sharing your knowledge with us. I love seeing your subscriber numbers increasing and I sincerely hope that you get your own show someday. You deserve the success.
I absolutely agree with you on the flowering lawns! ❤🌻🐝 BUT it can be good to keep in mind that it isn't the best idea if you have kids that run around on the lawns (especially if they do that bare feet). In that case you might want to not have a lot of low flowers because the chance of a tiny foot stepping on a bee increases exponentially.. so wait a few years with the flowering lawn ad try to endure having a green one. Greetings from a mom of three small kids and a flowering lawn. We use a lot of ice and hydrocortisone in our house.............. 🙄
why do you cut them when they are fully open? then they wont last! you should cut them when they are abut to open so they will last the longest.this will also be great for multiplying the bulbs!
Siloe probably left them to fully bloom in the garden to show us their natural beauty. I’ve only experienced tight buds in a bouquet in the shops, so it’s nice to see them in full bloom amongst nature.
I live in Maryland! Time to get some tulips 🌷 Thanks for sharing a different perspective about the ideal lawn. And your video footage is awesome! What camera lenses do/did you use?
I loved your video! Subscribed. So the reason I’m here is that I was just taking the rotten tulip bulbs out of my soil (I’m first timer) and I noticed baby bulbs beside them. I realized what they were and I started researching and that’s how I ended up seeing your video! So you say we need another year for the baby bulbs to grow into mature ones. How do we do that? Do we plant them again next year and they’ll grow without flowers and after that we let them dry for the year after to actually use them or that’s now how it works..?
Plant them in the fall. It will take up to 2 years for the baby ones to flower. Make sure the soil is light. Heavy wet clay kills tulips especially in summer by rotting the roots. If the soil is light enough you don’t even have to lift them in summer. Also the need cold weather to flower. They don’t flower in tropical weather, if you live in a warmer place.
So true about what we consider weeds but are more beneficial than ever given recognition. Thanks for the reminder and showing us how beautiful they are!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful information. I live in Chicago with small yard and beautiful tulips. I’m gonna be able to multiple tulips, I would love to garden with you 😊😍
I just LOVE your videos, I always feel so into the content and the way that you present them keeps me wanting more and more each time... Like, Was that 10 minutes already?
I love your approach to gardening and the pace is perfect for viewing. Just a note about muscari (grape hyacinth), it is considered invasive which is why it so readily spreads. While this seems to be desirable it can be problemic for the ecosystem. It is worth checking to see if it is invasive to your region as you seem to care about the pollinators and other fauna. While invasive or nonnative plants provide nectar to pollinators, they have not evolved along with the pollinators to provide the best nutrients for them. It’s akin to eating junk food- while it may vary from plant to plant and some may not be terrible, the bees and butterflies may be filling up on nectar than is missing nutrients that they need to thrive. Just some food for thought concerning non native plants especially those with invasive tendencies. Master gardeners often now recommend planting a percentage of your garden with native plants to give pollinators the option to feed on preferential species and to avoid plants that are invasive to your region, altogether.
Would you happen to know if this is the same for day lilies? There were some planted on the property when we moved here in 2002 but not much has ever been done to care for them since.
Boldly Grow Homestead I have been growing day lilies for over ten years. You can divide and transplant in fall or spring. Just as long as they are not in bloom. I use a peat moss and steer manure mix and add some to the soil when I plant. I have had really good success with all of mine! Hope this helps. ☺️
I plant then 4 to 6 inches deep. You don’t have to lift them in summer if your soil is light in texture and doesn’t get waterlogged. You can just dig them up in the fall, divide them by size and replant the large bulbs in your display bed, and the small bulbs in a holding bed. Those won’t flower but will increase in size for next year.
Got a question if you aren't too busy....i dug up a few tulips a couple of days ago to move them because I m putting up privacy fence. There were originally only 12 bulbs but when I began to dig. OMG I got the original bulbs plus about 100 to 125 quarter sized bulbs that were bear or kind of attached to the parent bulb....the type is burgundy lace and they were there 4 or 5 years ..if I space these out and replant them in November will they bloom? I'm in zone 7b which is central TN.....
It’s so nice to see you pick the flowers you grow it drives me mad people don’t put them in a vase in the house! And if you put a cocktail stick about an inch from flower making a hole take stick out😂 they will stay upright! ♥️🏴 England
What a lovely video. I learned something new., because I'd always been told that tulip bulbs only flower once...... Imagine, I have never bothered because it seemed such a waste.....winter is coming on the Highveld in Johannesburg , I am going to look for tulips in the seed catalogues ready for Spring. 😊 Also I am so happy to see someone else who loves small creatures, and a ' lawn' made up of all sorts of little flowering plants 🙏❤️
Thank you. Since you are in South Africa, zone 9b, you will need to refrigerate bulbs for 2-3 months so they produce flowers, since your winters are not cold enough. If you have light soil and dryer summers, they are less likely to rot, unlike here in Maryland, so you can lift them a little later. Place them in paper bags or plastic bags with punched holes in refrigerator and keep them away from apples and other ethylene gas produce fruits, that could cause them to rot. When you purchase bulbs, they have already been pre chilled, but as you can see, growing these plants in warmer climates is more difficult.
@@suburbanhomestead thanks for the reply.!!! What temperatire is ' cold enough'. The highveld is very cold at night , and my property is open and susceptible to frost.
Hi. Thanks for the video. So how did the tulips you pulled early with the green foliage end up doing the next year? I had to pull mine early too because they were planted in my raised bed and I needed to get my eggplant in. I pulled them with the foliage and they are drying in trays now.
thank thank you thank you! I divided my bulbs last fall and this spring I have many tulip leaves growing. ( The bulbs were 3 and 4 years old) I wasn't sure if they were baby tulips and I just needed to be patient or if they were the old bulbs that were done. From what you are saying I think they are babies and will some day be beautiful bulbs to enjoy! (At least I hope so!) I enjoy your videos so very much, and learn so much from you. Thank you for the community you are cultivating.
Yes, if you spaced them out adequately and fertilize them and only cut down the foliage when they start dying in summer, they will start bulking up to flower.
A lawn should be a safe place for people to walk and to play. I would never have a pollinator friendly lawn but I have bees, wasps, and butterflies all over my flower beds, where they can be busy from morning to night, safely for them and for us.
@@suburbanhomestead Very true but if you have little kids running around it can be dangerous. Especially in a family where there are bee allergies, like mine. Before I fixed my lawn to be exclusively grass, it was pretty dangerous.

2:42 - YES! The American fallacy of a monoculture grass lawn is past its prime.
Love all your videos, btw.
And you don't even have to cut it and culture it.😂 It just grows by itself.
Yes. Grass is basically a green desert to animals and insects. Meadows and the different flowers are important to our native wildlife.
I'm so glad that your subscriber count is rising! Your videos are so mesmerising and I hope more people get to experience your magical storytelling🌷🍃
This makes me smile. I would like to grow more tulips. They are so expensive to buy. /you just made my day.
I am going to get me some bulbs this Autumn. They are so expensive. But, after seeing your video, there's hope for me growing some and getting them to multiply. Thanks for the tips :)
Sometimes what looks like failure turns out to be success.
I love your idea of the perfect lawn.
I adore grape hyacinth! They're so cheerful and that color is an awesome companion to tulips and daffodils
I love your channel so much!!!! Please dont stop making garden videos!
i realize it is kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch new tv shows online?
@Cullen Austin I would suggest Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Eli Benedict yea, I have been using flixzone for since march myself :)
@Eli Benedict thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it!
@Cullen Austin No problem =)

Tulip multiplication. My kind of math.

I like your definition of a perfect laun..usefully to not just human but also to thr bees and butterflies 👍💟🙌
I like your garden videos.Thanks for your storytelling
Appreciate everything about this video. Thank you. Your mention to let your lawn be free for use for humans and animals was truly appreciated.
Thank you so much. I learned so much by watching this video.
A new video! thank you! tulips are so beautiful!

How deep you plant them? They don't came back if they are too deep? Can I propagate tulips without taking them out in the summer?

This was wonderfully informative! I will try it!
very useful and clearly. thank you very much

The small ones probably won’t bloom until they reach the size of the typical bulbs, it takes a few years, but eventually they will bloom.

This photography Is PRISTINE
Thanks!
Planted my bulbs in late december they are now growing healthy as normal, november shmovember...
I have a newfound love for crocus, blooming around the neighborhoods in winter when so much of the garden is asleep
I have grape hyacinth all of my front yard each spring. Nothing else grows nearly as well other that creeping thyme
It's the sandy soils,,the favorite soil of tulips, in zone 7/8 is, where they don't need to be lifted
❤ Thank You. You brought inspiration to my wife and I.😊
Seriously love weed lawns!
Hi, If I leave the bulbs for next year. Is it survive or not good. Please help me...
You should get some astrantia.... sounds like they would love these spots
if you give dandelions proper growing conditions they make great cut flowers aswell
They just won't last too long
I live in canada and here dandelions grow naturally every spring/summer everywhere by themselves.
@@toobakhan426 I was talking about how better growing conditions create larger dandelions big enough for you to use as cut flowers
One of my favourite channels! Thank you.

I dream of the day when youtube makes a button so we can mute the weird screechy high pitched disney music and just hear what people are saying.
MUTE THE VOLUME AND TURN ON THE CAPTION. THAT SHOULD BE BETTER🤗
that one dislike is the ant-o-phobia person who saw that one ant in the tray
Theres too much filler, gonna go watch an academic source instead.
How did your second and third seasons go?
I am learning a lot from this programme
Wish I could like your videos 350 times
A lawn should be a safe place for people to walk and to play. I would never have a pollinator friendly lawn but I have bees, wasps, and butterflies all over my flower beds, where they can be busy from morning to night, safely for them and for us.
As long as you have flowers, that is what matters.
@@suburbanhomestead Very true but if you have little kids running around it can be dangerous. Especially in a family where there are bee allergies, like mine. Before I fixed my lawn to be exclusively grass, it was pretty dangerous.
why don't you grow something just for the groundhog to eat so he will leave your garden alone?
unfortunately groundhogs don't understand boundaries.
You're in MARYLAND?! That's great! So am I. I subscribed recently but now that I know you're in my zone--I'll pay close attention :)
Dandelion roots also act as a natural soil aerator.
Wow! Thank you for this video!
How can we plant tulip without roots?
There may be a way of growing tulips from seed, but it is not worth it, it takes much longer to produce blooms.
The music is distracting. I feel like I need more focus these days so in missing out on listening attentively. Just a thought.
Loved your concepts.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
I discover last spring I have Lily of the Valley. And it smells so good!!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Lovely 👍
beautiful
What zone do you live or what area
Maryland, zone 7
Beautiful 🌸
Very deceptive video. Came here for tulips and got a left wing commentary on weeds in lawn video.
The flute music is enchanting!
My suggestion: dont talk a lot other than the title.
love your music choice and changes throughout the video! loving the video editing on this one too , can't wait to try these tricks out next summer!
