Laura why are you always doubting if people are gonna watch your longer videos until the end? You are an amazing speaker and besides the editing in your videos is so put together and perfect! I live watching both your short and long videos. It is entertaining and super informative at the same time. Loved this one. Thank you so much for the tips
Pedro Trindade Amen to that! ;)
I too love listening to your lessons.
Agree to this. I always love watching your videos specially succulents. Keep doing ti Laura. Sending PHLove
Yeah!
Pedro Trindade Because most of us don't like long videos.
First time viewer - I love how you “chaptered” the segment, but didn’t need it as you had me engaged the whole time. Awesome job.
I live in an apartment and this video is PACKED with valuable information I was missing, no wonder why my plants weren’t doing well - thank you for this video
lavender needs more light than god can give it
And it grows like a weed! Be prepared to cut it back every month!
I’ve grown many things from seed, but I’ve always wanted to grow lavendar. I’m just scared because I’ve heard it’s so difficult to get started and so hard to keep tame once you get it going.
NoodleDaddy omg so true 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Facts
Bought a lavender plant shaped like a Christmas tree for the holiday season to take to my daughters.
...forgot it, gone 10 days, left in middle of table no light on or window light within 3 ft., heat set at 60. Expected to come home and it would be dead or at least unsalvageable. Nope! Sporting new and abundant growth. Some plants....just want to live.... I'm 66 and still learning. Love your informational and charming videos. Going back and watching earlier ones. Great way to spend gloomy winter days! Thank you!
I watched the entire video because you get to the point, don't ramble on about unrelated things and have a lot of information in a short time😁Thanks!
I simply loooooooved how you explain everything!!!! Because of you I. started my herbs . Instead of just flowers.
Walmart sells a pink grow light that you can screw into your regular light bulb socket. I making a grow closet and have that bulb in the closet. $6.57. It is an actual pink no heat grow light.
I might check this out

oddly enough, i usually cut open a teabag and empty its contents on the plant and they seem to take off with it. I do it once every couple of months. I keep my used teabags on the side to dry out completely before i add them to the soil of the plant then water it in. I've done it with herbs, orchids, spider plants and succulents to great success. I find black tea bags work best where as green tea bags don't seem to work as well.
Ooo im gonna try this!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing
Hi thank u for sharing this. But would a normal commercial tea bag work? Like the yellow lipton tea? Thanks a lot!
Correlation =/= causation
I live in the UK... Light never hits my windows 😂
I really appreciate the time stamps and no background music. Thank you for these helpful tips!
everything i touch dies
:(
Same
Touch me
Put gloves on
Try the AeroGarden seriously so easy!
Laura, you make it sound like a hardship to watch your entire video. We LOVE hearing your tips, silly.
I just love listening to your gardening advice!
I am growing herbs hydroponically. Dill grows like crazy! :) I have two young plants and the first bountiful harvest after just 3 weeks. One plant shoots 1-2 stalks a week, and that's enough to season a meat soup for six persons.
Dragan Stojiljkovic Amazing! I’m planning to grow dill to make my favorite dish Baghali Polo (Dill rice)
This time of year when it's super cold and dreary outside having fresh herbs indoors is a great idea! & I always watch your videos to the end 😀 I have learned SO much from you
Of course I made it to the end! I love your gardening advise. Thanks for all the hard work. You are in my prayers as you grow closer to your due date for baby boy! 💙
Always so thankful for these types of videos! I've never grown herbs but I'm thinking about starting a herb garden since I love cooking with them!
Laura you have some much important information that helps all of us. Thank You,for
Taking the time to put these videos together!
So helpful! I’ve been wanting to start a mini herb garden. This made me feel excited and confident! 💚 thanks for your plant knowledge!
THIS video was exactly what I was looking for!
The information you provided was condensed, yet very helpful.
Your time and effort is much appreciated.
Can you do a video with all of the different bugs and how to get rid of them. I found that idea so interesting : P
That's exactly what I was thinking too
I love watching all your videos from beginning to end!!! You give such great advise who would skip any of it??? Not me. I’ve learned so much from you. You are a walking, talking text book when it comes to gardening! Love that you are honest and don’t sugar coat any information. Keep up the great advise. 💙Baby should be here soon!!! Yay!
🐈 Hugs to Russel.
Hi Laura ---thank you SO MUCH for disseminating the relevant information we viewers are looking for; and moreover, for doing so in such a concise, efficient, and relatively fast-paced manner. I absolutely love your vidoes.
Omgosh! This was sooooo helpful! It tackled 3 of the things i was concerned about for growing my own indoor herb garden (type of soil to use, fertilizer, and temp.) Feeling more confident now. Thank you!!
I’m so happy you made this video. Perfect timing as I’m recently learning how to grow an indoor herb garden for the first time. I’m currently growing rosemary, oregano, scallions, and parsley. I also have two citrus plants, a calamondin and meyer lemon. Thank you for all the videos you do! I look forward to learning more in your channel.
I love watching your videos to the very end. You are so knowledgeable. I have learned a lot from you. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you for all of your videos.
You’re incredible! Love your energy and you are a freaking FOUNTAIN of knowledge. Thank you for showing us your gifts!
I love watching your gardening tips and ideas in Eureka CA. You have inspired me and I have learned so much from you. Your home and gardens are so pretty. I always look forward to your next video and would love a video on roses.
Dill is indeed very easy to grow from scratch. Mine does always tend to become a little weak as it grows taller, so I usually don't let it get too tall! Thanks again for the tips, especially the trick with the pebbles to aerate the soil!
Your LONG videos or/and short videos give me LIFE!!!! I LOVEEEE COMING HERE AND SEEING THERE IS A NEW VIDEO!! YOU are a pleasure to sit and listen to...so knowledgeable outdoors! Thanks for sharing and teaching us what you know and us following along for the new things you are learning yourself! :-) Getting close now for lil man to arrive!! Best of LUCK with everything..cant wait to meet him on here!
So glad I found this channel!! Love the longer, informative video. Extremely helpful! I’m going to look to see if you have any tips on bringing outside herbs indoors for the winter (without any insects). 👍😊
Glad she mentioned the difference between potting soil and the soil in the yard. Now I will be sure to remember and understand why to get potting soil for indoor herbs, flowers. Oh and great tip regarding the air circulation and the terracotta pots.
wow, thank you so much that was very helpful. and you didn't drag it out at all so you kept my full attention the whole way through and that was a ton to talk about.
Great speaker you are. You cut to the chase, you are clear and knowledgeable. Two thumbs up.
Of course I made it to the end of your video! You are always a breath of fresh air! Thanks for all our great info and sharing your home!
Don't worry about the length of your videos! Cover what you need to cover and they're perfect. I'm so glad I found your channel! Forty years ago I had a 1/4 acre garden on a farm in NW Iowa and I thought I was Lady Greenfingers -- in recent years I've been struggling with my yard - haven't even had enough success to try a garden - and now I think it was because of the soil in that location - you could stick a pencil in the ground and it would grow. But now I'm also in Zone 5 so I'm hoping I can learn from all of your good advice. Thanks for these great videos!
HOW INTERESTING!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A PENCIL GROW! 😂
Just started the aero garden by miracle grow and in 10 days all 6 have sprouted, it is a really cool & very easy!
Hi, I'm so glad I found you lr channel!! ❤️ Thx so much for the tips. I've been wanting to make an indoor herb garden for a very long time (I'm here in California and am so intimidated with gardening but have been wanting to grow things) your video has made is less intimidating thank you very much 😊!
This is the most clear, straight to the bottom and fastest with honesty of herb growing video! Thank you!
You're really good. I listen to you & I'm from a different climate, Uk. Great info.
Was just talking about getting some herbs the other day. Great tips.
I love your videos. I have studied horticulture and know this stuff yet I find your enthusiasm and knowledge so so engaging that after watching I feel the need to rush outside and get stuck into my large garden which, as we are in the sub tropics, always has a ton of work to do.
Super helpful. Just cleared out a southwest facing window to grow herbs in our guest room. Thanks for all the good advice, you answered all my questions. Yay!
Thank you for this!! We are just starting our indoor garden so this is super useful 👌💚
I made it to the end no problem 😀 I love listening to your tips and ideas.
Do you know anything about the Jade vine?
Thank you for providing real, clear, concise, organized tips and not being an advertisement video!! I just got a basil starter plant from my local farmer's market and I had a hard time finding any information on how to keep the thing living. Thanks!
Love all of your videos...they are part of my morning coffee ritual. No matter how short or "long", you always have nuggets of information that are so helpful. Never thought about looking in my grocery store for herbs to grow...great tip.!! Continued success!
Of course I watched the whole video! I love them
Thank you so much! This was the best video I’ve seen on the topic thus far 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I hope I stop killing my plants now! Lol
Great vid, some very helpful info! Thank you for taking the time to make and upload it. Also your hair looks amazing!
My daughter and I just sat and watched your whole video! Why? Because you are awesome and we love everything we have learned this past year watching you. Looking forward to learning so much more this new year!
Of course I made it to the end of the video ❤️ Always watch the whole thing.
I'm plant obsessed. Of course I made it to the end, I actually learned something I never knew. Thank you.
Good video.
Well done i am so glad i found this video. Your passion for indoor growing is amazing. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips. I can listen you all day long.
I'm new to your channel and made it to the end. 13 minutes really isn't bad at all. It was very considerate to put the time stamps in there though.
I tried parsley and cilantro from seed and they both lasted least than 2 weeks after germination. I think I need grow lights cause my south facing window is small and may be shaded during part of the day. Part of my 'gardening resolutions' for 2018 for not giving up after one attempt.
You're fun to watch and I always learn something from you!
Keep up the great work! ☺
Extremely helpful! I just spent the day outside re-potting some plants and this vlog got me dreaming about my future herb garden just now! Haha! Thanks for sharing your awesome tips *thumbs up*
It's better to slightly underwater than to overwater. Overwatering can cause the seeds or the roots to rot. And yes, always a good idea to check the soil.
Thank you for all the good info! I am hoping to get some plants started in my classroom soon and this is good information I can pass on to others who will be helping out!
God Bless you for creating that index in the beginning. I skip through videos as a rule, but since you added the guide, I realized that I wanted to hear about everything you had on the list!
But most importantly, if I didn’t want to, you gave me that option as well. *instantly subscribes*
I can’t grow lavender to save my life lol I feel you. So far I have a mint plant hanging on from overwintering. Thank you so much for the tips as always
Sam Greenslyfox me either. I found a tip for lavender that I have never heard of. When you are starting your seeds put them in seed cells about 5 seeds per cell then put the pots in a sealed pastiche bag or plant them in a container with a lid and place it in the fridge for 5 to 10 days. Then bring them out and leave them til they are ready to go in their permanent home. I'm not sure if this works I read it on several different blogs and if u watch the rustic garden dude he say you have to chill lavender seeds to trick them into thinking to its timw to grow. I'm trying it this year juat put my plants in my fridge tonight.
Sealed plastic bag sorry. My fingers didn't want to work.
Sam Greenslyfox lavender likes out doors and daily watering
It's worth the effort😀
Yeah, I feel you. I started lavender from bare roots, but the damn thing still hasn't flowered.
I had sage growing outside like weeds in my gardens when I lived in the Puyallup WA area. Then in the Chicago area I had mint in one bed which got full and abundant. Also had lavender in several gardens there and both mint and lavender survived winter snow like troopers.
I know you heard tge phrase "A cat with 9 lives", well that phrase can be applied to Mint!! You cannot kill it! Oh dear!! The roots are CONTAGIOUS!
I love your videos. You are a wealth of knowledge. I made it to the end of the video and loved every minute of it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
Love all the information you give on the plants. You answer all the question,one would have. Keep talking 👍❤️
How do you “love” this, agh. So informative!
Have you tried the Aerogarden? I received one for Christmas and I now have fresh Basil Dill and some other herbs.
Never have I ever had luck growing rosemary! Inside or outside. It turns black, dries and shrivels up. I am so excited for spring to get here...I just watched your newest video and I am inspired for this year!
On point, great visuals, direct contact and so much relevant information! I love this, Subbed!
You could also go to a farmers market to buy grown herbs so you don't have to use that much plastic
Omg I’m trying to learn how to grow an indoor herb garden but I’m actually stunned and distracted by how beautiful you are 😭
Hannah L that is also my sentiment!!!
Awesome advice. I've been afraid to garden ,but would love to try, hopefully next year. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for putting the timestamps to the different sections of the video. Very helpful!
Great advice! I made it to the end! New sub.thanks
As soon as you listed out the times I subscribed👍🏽
I made it to the end. Your videos are so informative, helpful, and thorough. They're very relatable. Your energy and tone make it easy to listen to you. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for all the tips. I am a new gardener and thought I would like to start with herbs. Took lots of notes. I so enjoy all your videos. I am in southern Florida so growing here is quite different to what you can grow
I have a tarragon, lavender, lemon grass, and spearmint that I planted together in a pot outside my window, and they have a peaceful coexistence :) they are thriving under direct sunlight
I grow oregano outside in zone 6. Iv had the same plant come back every year for 6 years. Lavender died after just 3 summers. Iv heard that yearly wetness can be a factor, but it seems to me they just dont live more than a few years for most people. Oh and I always use lawn soil for potted plants, and they thrive. I am not paying someone 5-6 dollars for dirt when its literally under my feet lol. If it gets heavy after a few waterings I just break up the soil a bit with food skewers around the rootball.
Awesome video! Great tips! Thank you very much. Fast, clear speaking voice. Beautiful eyes.
I was about to ask about lavender and then you bursted my bubble haha. 🙁 That, chamomile and sage were the plants I was curious about. O well! 🙂
You’re eyes are strikingly blue against your brown hair. Beautiful!
Beautiful video ! Very informative and helps a lot, especially love the lighting caddie!
This is the first video off of your channel that I'm watching, and I've subbed about halfway through ☺️ You seem so genuine and relatable, and your tips sound super useful. Thank you for putting together this lovely video! ❤️
Also, of course I made it to the end. As I will for your other videos that I am now going to go binge on. Lots love 💕
I admire your basil but I have no luck with mine, I am ok with thyme, Parsley and celantro (coriander in Australia) and chives
I always use herbs in my cooking but never grew them myself. I'd love to try in the future. I'm just wondering why no one has developed an easier lavender plant to grow. Maybe you could address this plant more in one of your other videos for those of us who are new to growing indoor edible plants. I've always loved lavender and maybe you could demystify this plant for us. Love love your vids gets me through our long Canadian winters. Right now it's the end of March and it's snowing!
There are different varieties of - a garden catalog or library book can help you sort them out better :)
Very easy to follow information and editing. Really great!! Also your hair is stunning!! Couldn't stop watching it shine 😅
Awesome. This pumped me up about my seedlings. I gotta say, I thought "well I'm not going to go 13-min" then 13-min later, I was at the end. Thanks for the tips. Going to start digging into your channel for some more!
I chose your video because it was long. I know I need LOTS of help and instruction on this topic and just skipped those that were shorter 😉. But I thought listing the times of various topics at the beginning was very useful. Thanks for the help! 🌱 🙏 ☀️ 💧
That's interesting. I have a pot of tarragon in my kitchen window that grows really vigorously, without me having to do much of anything to it.
Great video! Very informative, pleasant to watch and inspiring! 🌱
I did make it to the end of the video! I always grow something inside for the long Northern Michigan winter months. Mostly herbs and soon a few starter tomato plants. I’m always interested in tip and what works for others! I don’t normally feed my plants during the winter. I am going to give that a try and see what happens! Thanks Laura!
Good stuff. I'm going to teach my daughter about growing foor (she's 5)and we're going to start a vlog style channel around it.
Here in Manitoba Canada most of us throw some dill seed on the garden. Then when we weed make sure we don't pull up the dill it reseeds itself .
Thank you! I've learned more in your video than reading and watching other videos and notes! Thank you thank you for sharing!
As a beginner gardener, this was really insightful and helpful! Thank you!
Amazing video! I just moved back to Puerto Rico from living years in cold Europe, and I am beginning my indoor herb growing journey. I live in an apartment with north facing windows (wahhh😭), but it's warm and humid year-round. Think it will be trial and error at the beginning 😅
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel... will try some of your suggestions out! Subscribed :)
I have sage and lavender in the same container outside. Both are thriving. What I can not seem to grow is parsley & cilantro. Indoor, outdoor,they never make it
Jen Ro probably aphids. use neem oil
Me too! Im having tough time with both!
