    Your honesty makes me smile. I love your " confession." Says your momma did a great job of giving you good values & to know yourself. 👍

    I'm glad you shared your troubles & didn't hide them. Everyone on UA-cam is or pretends to be an expert. It's refreshing to have someone to relate to! I'm starting seeds for the first time this year. You've set my fears at ease. 'Live, learn & try again!' 💞

    Thanks for your honesty! It's refreshing. I just heard a gardener say this week that if he doesn't fail at growing something each year, then it means he isn't trying enough new things.

    Thank you so much for your honesty and posting as is. It made me wonder how many videos out there are actually round two or three etc? Some of these gardeners have such a massive success rate that they make you feel like failures. I feel so much better now, knowing that even experienced growers don't grow everything perfectly 100% of the time.

    Its funny how we can be supportive of others. And so hard on ourselves. This year i started a lot of petunia wave from seed. I have tried in the past. And failed terribly. This year i got a lot of seeds to grow. But i have a lot that refuse to grow. Some are in their pots with blooms. While others are literally the size of a nickle. Strange! They are not dead. But not growing either. Its so weird. And i have been harsh on myself. I let these stunted plants ruin the fact that i have successfully grew some beautiful plants.
    I have jist recently found your channel. Thoroughly enjoying your videos. And learning a lot. Thank you!

    Please do not apologize. I am sure there is a lot of social media pressure. Keep it real, we are learning from your mistakes. You are awesome just the way you are!
    Also, I over winter my giant elephant ears last year. I cannot wait to see if it breaks dormancy! I would suggest you start it in your pot but plant it directly in the soil if you want it to get huge!

    Thank you for your honesty!!! It helps more than you may realize❤. I live in northern Minnesota and have been feeling a little defeated by cold weather, chickens tearing out plantings and a few plants i ordered for food forest that did not live. I guess the beauty of failure is the reminder that God is in control not us🐝

    😅 Gardening is part science, part art, and a pinch 🤏 of magic. I forget to water, prune, fertilize, weed, and Mother Nature has mercy on me and plants thrive. I am meticulous and plants die. Life is a mystery and so is gardening. As long as my score sheet stays on the plus side I can get through the losses and improve along the way.

    Have fun with the elephant ear. I have found the bulb needs to stay fairly dry for the 4-6 weeks it takes to sprout. I’ve started mine individually in large nursery containers and then moved the sprouting EE to the final growing container. However, I’m guessing you will have quicker growth from the bulbs in the greenhouse than I do in my home.

    Elephant ears are usually planted ring side up. When in doubt plant sideways. Holes are usually visible on the bottom. Bonny

    Hey Corey. I have a question. I hope you can help me. So you talked a lot about over watering petunias. Does a self watering pot over watering a petunia if it's planted it in? I have a self watering pot but I'm trying to hold back on putting too much water in it's reservoir as I might over water them.

    • @UpNorthGardenMI
      @UpNorthGardenMI  7 місяців тому

      A well-designed self-watering is designed to let the plant wick up only the water it needs and it expels any excess water through a drainage hole. A lot of pots with reservoirs don’t have drainage and that can lead to overwatering.
      We keep petunias in AquaPot self-watering containers at the end of our driveway and fill them once a week. They looked great.

      Learning seed starting this year. Thanks for posting your seed starting journey, it’s refreshingly transparent! You’ve got me hooked on rice hulls too. As a side note, 2 of the big box store cannas (same as your’s) are emerging this morning. 🎉

      We work with plants that come in as baby plugs. Seeds are a completely different beast - as is soil blocking. And these are varieties I’m growing just for my personal use… so most I haven’t grown before.
