    I'm crazy about Daffodils too ... they are my very favorite flower and have been since I was just a young child. Moss Mountain Farm is nothing short of magical, and as a longtime fan of P. Allen Smith, I appreciate all that is shared. Blessings always.

    Wow over 450,000 daffy's, that's some serious work! but well worth the effort, it's such a stunning view! Daffodils bring that much needed colour, sunshine all round! 👍😊

    I just found your channel on UA-cam after many years of watching you on PBS stations. I must say that you seem like one of the absolute nicest people. I always feel like giving you a big hug when I first see you & then again when I know you are signing off. I love all that you share, but I just really like YOU.

    And then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the daffodils. My favorite poem for a beautiful flower. Wordsworth.

    Thank you Mr. Smith for the knowledge and skill that you have shared with us for so many years. I usually watch you on my local PBS station on Saturday mornings. As a young girl I use to follow my Dad around as he gardened. I loved riding along to the nurseries and truck farms to get soil and plants for his garden. He has been gone for many years now and I as a mature woman, thank him whenever I go into my garden for instilling this love of nature and gardening in me. No finer thing to leave behind. I think I have done the same for my granddaughter.

    @DixieGirl9876 5 років тому

    I always add Epsom salt when planting tomato plants. I too adore daffodils, I planted over two thousand bulbs years ago and love the growing display in the spring. I even found some in the woods at an old home place (only the chimney was left) and dug up a few for my garden. They are yellow, very full ruffle/double without the back row of petals. I've been filling eight new raised beds this spring with mushroom compost and old leaves. Happy gardening!

    Getting antsy here in West Tn. waiting for a warm up. Planted daffodils Thanksgiving weekend and the stems are up but no blooms so far. I've read about using Epsom salts on roses and did not know that I can use it on so many other plants. Love your videos. They are informative and very entertaining.

      Maria, I live in South Tx too and we didn't as of yet had a good winter, I am not sure we are going to be able to happily garden this year because the bugs are multiplying and ready to devour and make this year miserable for us. Hopefully, this cold snap that is suppose to come Monday March the 4th through Thursday will at least knock the lil pest down in numbers. Lol. Anyway, hopefully happy gardening.

    Your gardens are amazing you have an eye for great detail and it really shows. I've been meaning to scatter some daffodils into my lawn...sigh...maybe next spring. I do have plenty of bulbs in containers the first year I just gave the critters a tasty treat.Thinking of adding some grape hyacinth in the lawn too thinking the that would work in clusters as well. This adds such interest to a boring lawn!

    @winonashearer2073 6 років тому +1

    Thanks for the info. I always enjoyed your show on tv.
    We are looking to probably buying a property that has a greenhouse on it. How do I go about cleaning it out to avoid problems before I start using it? It looks like it may have set unused for a while.

    • @PAllenSmith
      @PAllenSmith  6 років тому +1

      Winona Shearer I’d wash/scrub the entire greenhouse structure and glass down (top to bottom) using an bleach water solution and let thoroughly dry. If there is any exposed wood I’d apply a vegetable-based horticultural oil onto it. This is best done using a brush to ensure the oil reaches into any cracks to suffocate hiding pests. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.

    • @winonashearer2073
      @winonashearer2073 6 років тому +1

    • @PAllenSmith
      @PAllenSmith  6 років тому +1

      Brianne Rounds generally it’s considered a neutral when it comes to pH so you should be fine fine. The greatest benefit for your plants comes from the magnesium.

  • @riasomers642

    You said 2 tbsp Epsom salts but written it said teaspoons, during the greenhouse segment. Was the written a correction? Can't believe how many years I've been watching & gardening w/you. You're only 2 yrs younger than I am.

    • @PAllenSmith
      @PAllenSmith  6 років тому

      Tablespoons diluted in a gallon water spread around should be fine. The Epsom Salt Council (www.epsomsaltcouncil.org) recommends one tablespoon per nine square feet, applied to the root zone of the shrubs at two- to four-week intervals.
