I used Erin’s method last year when she released her video, with very old seeds that I had collected from poppies that had since disappeared. I had an AMAZING germination! I even messaged her to tell her it worked and she seemed especially delighted ! 💚
I did too in Michigan . It was amazing what came up
That’s so cool! I need to watch more of her videos. I catch them here and there, but that’s a handy tip. I’m going to try in my mailbox garden 🤗
I’ve never had luck with poppies and I followed Erin’s method too last year and it worked brilliantly!
I definitely need to try this method with my poppy seeds i saved- it’s my very first time I ever harvested seeds! Wish me Luck Guys🤞
I'm so glad to hear that because I think I did it too late last year, and I did it a few weeks ago this year! Thank you for sharing your experience Stephanie!
Hi! About the wisteria: here in England people train them into tree forms about 4-5 ft high and prune them hard. The effect is a weeping tree form of the flowers followed by foliage. Some research into that might enable you to reshape that wisteria into an accent tree. Just an idea!
I would love to see how to do that 🤩 I think I'm gonna check with Google I want wisteria in my garden but I don't want it climbing all over the structures. This should be interesting 🤔 lol
I've had a wisteria vine for over 30 years. It grows over an arch at the entrance to our garden. My husband made the arch out of wood and it's much larger than your typical garden arch, which is fortunate, because the wisteria is very large. Also, I had inter-twined the branches in and out of the lattice on the arch, and over the years it has damaged the arch since the branches are now so large. Be aware that wisteria can be invasive, and they need a lot of grooming to keep them in check. It's not a plant for a casual gardener since it requires a lot of work, but the beauty is well worth it if you are willing to give it your time and attention.
P. Allen Smith has a tutorial on it.
My aunt had been on an English/French garden tour. She came home & rooted 3 new ones to train as you explained. They required some summer upkeep but made lovely small, weeping trees as you describe. I think she used a 4 inch steel pipe with an antique steel wheel (from a plow) as the support system.
On an estate I worked at, we had a huge mess of wisteria by our office.. over time I kept cutting back any growth except for one strong stem, and eventually it became a lovely manageable tree. It's seed pods are also wonderful!
Laura, when I was a child I would pick the dried poppy seedheads that our neighbor had growing in the front yard by the sidewalk. My sister and I used them as salt and pepper shakers in our play kitchen outside. Mom wondered why poppies grew by our playhouse, lol! 🤣😂
I sprinkled poppy seeds outside last year after watching Erin, "The Impatient Gardener. I was delighted last spring with poppy blooms, so two weeks ago I planted more.
Your screen name matches perfectly with this super sweet story/memory! I love it!
What a fun story!!!
What a wonderful video 😃.. Over 6 yrs you still have me naturally 'waiting in anticipation' for your next video. The way you present your story, I always get the feels. As always, now you have me 'waiting in anticipation' for an update on the Poppies 😍 You and your Mum at her place, just love this. Thank you for sharing something that you love and allowing us into your life. I do feel blessed x
Good morning GA family! 🌸🌷🌨☕️ Who is ready for Spring??
Central Ga in the house. Got daffodils coming up. Always a good sign!
Yes!
South of the city here...so ready...walk the fall garden numerous times s day just to see what I can see!
Me!
I suspect that the four "thumbs down" are none gardeners !! I'm ready !!
I have used a powdered sugar shaker filled with tiny seeds to spread them more evenly. Very effective for poppies, alyssum or any small seed.
That's a great idea!
I would love a gardening Q &A with your lovely Mom. You speak of her beautiful mature garden, I can only imagine all of that knowledge stored in her brain she could share with us also. ❤️
Laura, I’ve picked up your oooohhh sound when I find a garden treasure. Next: My word!
This is exactly how I grow poppies! Erin is the BEST!
The way you got excited about the mik weed seeds just melts my heart. You have access to a wealth of plants / seeds / foliage and yet you also manage to stay excited about the simpler things in life. Thank you for sharing your time, experiences and energy with us Laura ! Your channel is my happy corner on youtube , bless you!
This makes me wanna go find some poppy seeds and drop them in the snow outside
You introduced Erin to me over a year ago. She is so enjoyable to watch also.
I used Erin's method last year and had the most lovely poppies that bloomed all summer long. I was very impressed with the results.
Do you mind me asking what the under ground was when you did the sewing? (Tilled, mulched, grass, etc) thanks
I used Erin‘s method also and I have mulch in my garden. Works great 👍🏼
@@petrabahmer3219 thank you!
Hi. I am 70. I can remember my mother telling me that her mother always planted her poppies in the snow. You are the first person I have heard of other than my grandmother to advocate planting poppies in the snow.
We have a tendency to complicate things when in nature no one puts the grow lights and yet plats reseed themselves and multiply one way or another, that's how God created them! You will have glorious poppy show!🤗❤🤗
I tried this 2 years ago and it worked. It’s the only time I successfully grew poppies from seed. I waited too late last year, but just got some seed in the mail and will be tossing them outside this week. Thanks for the reminder.
I planed several thousand poppy seeds a month ago and cannot wait. I love poppies.
Good morning, this is how I have over seeded my lawn since I saw a neighbor doing it one January. Seems to work well, been doing it 30 years now.
Honestly, I had no idea this could be done with seeds. How easy is that?! Effortless. I am so going to dollarama to see if they have poppy seeds. Definitely going to try this.
I am sitting on my couch in 2 sweatshirts and a heating blanket and a another blank on top of that and here is laura planting seeds in the snow lol ..cant wait to see these all come up what beautiful sight it will be
.
Poppies in 1-2” of snow worked GREAT for me too, another great learning from Erin the Impatient Gardener 👏👏👏
Yei! Your Mom is in the today video, love her kind energy.
Can't wait to see how this turns out! Love the vibe lately! Pop and drop, spread it and forget it and just winging it!
Hi Laura! I started watching you first and then ventured out to other gardeners Erin being one of them. I learned so much from you and can't go a day without watching you. You've teacher us so much. I am grateful to you!
The relationship between you and your mom is such a beautiful thing to see. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Suggest trying to convert your wisteria from vining to a stand alone "tree" form. They are beautiful 🤩
I don't know how feasable this would be but often you talk about what you had planted and it would be great if you could link a video that had them in it so we could look and see what they ended up looking like. These poppys look beautiful on the picture. Love your channel and seeing your family in the videos!!!
I live in Chicago and can I tell you that I absolutely love your UA-cam show. I live near downtown so I don’t have a garden but it brings back so many memories of when I did have one. I now take what I learn from you and apply it to my mom’s garden. 🪴
My husband has family members that do the same type of planting with grass seeds on top of snow in March! Always thought this was crazy but along comes Laura with her seedlings! 😁
We had a neighbor in Lisle, IL who did the same thing with grass seed. He had a great looking lawn with no dead spots. Crazy but it does work.
I did it last year with a few bread seed poppies and was delighted when they came up! However, this time I will not put them in spring shade (didn't take into account a certain tree!) And plant much more heavily. Heavenly!
Thanks for letting us know about other people to follow now I will be watching even more you tube....lol No but really Thanks... I want you and Aaron to know you guys need to give yourselves a pat on the back. Your videos are put together so well. Watching other garden peoples videos it made me realize how seamless yours are... I still like to watch other garden channels also but it makes me appreciate your guys videos. Keep up the great work guys!
You can tell you are an experienced gardener because every time you just willy nilly do something, it seems to work out! When I (a new gardener) try that method, it turns out a hot mess 😂 Always learning, always improving though.
Sometimes a hot mess turns into a happy accident. Hope your garden looks great this spring & summer.
@@cynthiarafferty7662 very true! Fingers crossed some of the tips I’ve picked up from Laura and others work in my favor this year 😁
I can’t wait to see what they look like when they are flowering🌸
I love this natural flower maven planting method!! No fuss, no muss, no stress and come Spring what a show you’ll have!! We’re digging out from 20+ inches of snow here on the East End of Long Island (NY/7A) - maybe just a little too deep to try this method today! 🤣 But I love snow because I know it means come Spring my garden will be thriving!! Thanks for this great idea, Laura and Erin!!!
Hi 👋 good morning 🌞
2 foot deep snow isn't too deep.
@@rt3box6tx74 Haha! Ok you're probably right but it's deeper than my motivation today!! :)
Hi Thea! We're practically neighbors, I live in southern RI but a zone 6B. We didn't get quite as much snow as you guys did, I think you took the brunt of it. But I'm with you, I think I will wait until the snow melts a little, I hate getting snow down the top of my boots! Oh and I've always envied your zone 7A rating, so close but yet so far 😂
@@AngelinaJoy1 ohmigosh hi neighbor! My husband and I love Rhode Island! We take the ferry from Orient Point to New London and drive East, or the Montauk-Block Island ferry with our bikes! We are practically close enough to shop nurseries and garden centers together!!
I added tons of american red poppies in front of a lovely wall in our front yard. I also added the grey poppies from baker creek to my Lavender and white tulip area. Can't wait.
that was so funny. . .by the chicken coop when you bumped your head on the tree limb. you gave it a dirty look. . . i thought i was the only one who did that:) going out in the morning and spreading my poppies!!! didn't know that was how to do it. excited!
Thanks Laura, now my husband says we're spreading poppy seeds today. It's freezing out
Hi, Laura and Mom! Can't wait to see how the poppy project comes out- it will be stunning! Used your technique to plant red poppies along the side of the garage. They've bloomed for years! We have an easement with the neighbors, and he owns a greenhouse in town! So, we kind of have joint backyards so it doesn't look weird. How lucky I am! They have a huge wisteria growing over their screened in front porch-smells so good, but the bees!
Scared of bumblebees! 🐝
What its it about chickens that always makes me smile? Sure miss them now that we're living in town.
Have a pair of yellowthroats that always come back to the old wrenhouse in the snowball bush- looking forward to that!
Thanks for a great vid! 🌱🌸😊💗🐓
Thank you Laura for sharing this technique. My girlfriend and I have both struggled with success of growing poppies. We were gifted some seeds from another friend and haven’t planted them yet. Heading outside to sow my seeds over the snow today! ❤️🌸
Hi Laura, funny story I had a milkweed pod I found last summer and decided to pull off the seeds from the fuzz to put in fridge with for cold stratification! When I went to put the rest in a baggie, all the fuzz flew out and stuck to my face and floated around my kitchen for quite a while! My Westie Sam and I started sneezing and rubbing the tickly fuzz off our faces! Lol! What was I thinking!!!
The rest will be heading out with me today to my wild flower garden to lay on the snow and do it’s thing! Thank you for sharing, splitting my poppies between jugs and sprinkling in the snow today! I have a California Rainbow mix from Baker Creek and Mother of Pearl from Park Seed! Thanks for saving me some time, space and energy! ❤️🤗
Nice to see you collect the seeds from the milkweed plant hopefully they will grow and the Monarch butterflies will love to eat them.
Now that’s my kind off planting 😂. Just kidding I love to plant seeds and watch them grow. I have learned so much from watching y’all. I once killed a cactus if that tells you anything. 😜 I now grow beautiful flowers from seeds thanks to y’all.
I love to watch you, Aaron, and your Mom doing your thing! Spring is coming!🎉
Well I just went out and bought a ton more poppy seeds :)
Though not the oriental poppies you are planting, I did the same sowing technique with California Poppies scattering them over a mulched flower bed. The riot of bright orange poppies with their blue-green fern-y foliage was breathtaking!
Poppies remind me of one thing and one thing only... The Wizard of Oz!
they remind me of Flanders Field.
What a great idea and I'm looking forward to seeing lots of pretty poppies. My grandmother used the milkweed pods to make Christmas ornaments with all of us. It's a great project for kids. We used velvet material scraps to line the inside and then glued a miniature figure or tiny object into each half of the pod. We'd also line the edges with gold or silver ric rac.
We've made the manger scene for a small tree. The possibilities are really endless.
I did this last year when i saw Erins video--- and it worked!!! Already spread new seed for this year out in the snow about 2 weeks ago! So excited for the spring!!!
I can't sleep well without watching your video Laura. I am about to hit the sack and got a notification from you. Thank God!
We love you from Katt here in Adelaide, Australia
Erin is brilliant! I was just shopping for poppy seeds to do this very thing.
Hi 👋 Kate how are you doing?
Good morning 🌞
I love the idea of placing the grass as an outline - maybe take a quick pic for memory sake - incase the weather moves them as a reference.
It looks lovely outside, the beauty of watching is I can’t feel the cold❄️❄️❄️ hope the poppies come through 🌸
That’s My kind of Plantings! You are the coolest Chick Laura!! I Love being a Student in The School of Garden Answer- I am so Thankful The Good Lord Brought You(Arron &Fam..) into My Life :)🤩💕🙏🏼
I can't wait to try this! I have some bread seed poppies from last year that I never planted. But this looks perfect for our Michigan weather!!
What in awesome way to add plant interest to your spring / early summer planting
I can almost see how pretty it will be when they start blooming and in full bloom! I can't wait! Something new I have learned on how to Plant poppies.
I winter sowed the creamy peony poppy last year and they are gorgeous!!
I have been enjoying all the videos you have been posting this winter (especially shopping with mom) but happy to see your garden today! 🥰
Just want to let you know I tried your snow method and I know have poppies! Thank you for the tip!
I’m so excited to see what happens this spring!
Trying this Method for the first time, So excited! Hopefully the wind won't take them away LOL!
I’m hoping y’all get 100% germination! I started poppies in the jugs two weeks ago, and they’ve all come up! 🤦🏾♀️ I am in zone 8a and I over seeded because I haven’t had luck with germination before. Unbelievable. It’s gonna be a beautiful spring!🥰
When do they bloom for you? I’ve never grown them before (also 8a) but did Erin’s method a couple weeks back!
@@kaylav9305 I believe in late March to mid April? It’s been about four years since I’ve planted any.
Thanks Dawn!
I wish your mom would let you do a tour of her house 😻 I love every little bit I see!
Hey Laura hope your having a great day. Idea for your Wisteria, you should have someone build a strong iron support for the Wisteria so that you can train it to look more open like a tree.
I gotta stop (virtually) hanging out with you and Erin 😉. I saw her method & had been thinking: I’m in zone 6a, close enough to her zone to give it a shot. Then up pops your Garden Answer video. Just the extra motivation I needed to place my seed order. Wishing us all good luck!
Gardeners are such dreamers! I can’t wait to see them!!!
It warmed my heart to see you spread the seeds on top of the snow. My Grandfather taught me to plant grass that way when I was a small child. He and I would go over the lawn in the beginning of February and throw out grass seed all over the yard and then wait to see how evenly we seeded the lawns come Spring/Summer. He believed that it was the best way to seed grass. Thank you for bringing back those great memories.
Hi when planting grass seed are you spreading them on top of the grass iron top of the snow. I am new at this!
@@budupgarden6109 Yes, I just throw it on top of the snow and it will get to the dirt when the snow melts. I try to get it evenly spread, but it doesn't always come out that way! LOL! Just takes practice. Good Luck!
I did not know that poppy seeds needed a vernalisation period! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I bought some beautiful peony poppy seeds last year, and had a rubbish result from them. Now I know.
I trusted Erin ladt year, and was so glad I did. Super easy and beautiful! Thanks Erin, and Laura for such great videos!
I can hardly wait to see your garden in the summertime.
Looking forward to Spring helps the winter blues, thanks, Garden Answer!😇
For spreading the seeds more evenly I would recommend mixing with some sand in an old spice shaker and sprinkling the seed from the shaker. I also use this method when planting carrot seeds because they are so small and tricky to spread them evenly.
One year I Bought some " opium type" poppies at the big box lumber/hardware/nursery, and planted a few feet back from my koi pond. For many years I enjoyed the poppies that reseeded ... until we sold the house. I have also had success with "my" refrigerator method: couple weeks in refrigerator, couple weeks in freezer (28f), couple weeks back in fridge. Planted in garden end of March. I'm in Piedmont of NC. Many years we do not see snow, or just one small snow.
I tend to sprinkle most of my seeds wherever I want them to grow in a wild, unstructured way. I love the way they come up - almost like nature intended it. I l hope all your poppies come up!
Wow, that wisteria is massive! Its probably so glorious in full bloom & bonus its next to the Hartley!!! You’ve created such a beautiful masterpiece of a garden Laura! I would love an overall tour of your winter garden and seeing all the plants that have wonderful interest this time of year 🥰
Also side note: the cookie wrapper thing would So be me, 🤣 very relatable 🤣
Now the waiting.... Hurry up Spring!
I can’t hardly wait to see all the beautiful tulips, daffodils, poppies etc that will burst into colour in your yard this spring! It’s going to be aaaaamazing!!!🤗❤️🌷
Poppy field, I can’t wait for the reveal when they start coming up.
Hi Laura, Not a poppy question, but like you I don't like to wear gloves when I garden. My nails constantly have dirt under them (haha). Wondering if you had a soap and hand lotion you like to use to keep your hands soft, if that's even possible being a gardener. Thank you for this channel. It is the highlight of my day to watch it and even my kids look forward to watching with me as they try to see if they can spot Russell. We stopped by your parents nursery last year on our way to an Oregon coast vacation. We met your Mom, Dad, and Sister and they were just as lovely in person as you see on your videos. Please never stop producing videos. I have learned so much from you.
Ooooo super pretty poppies! I can’t wait to see, love impatient Gardner too! 👋✌🏻❤️
It was good to see you this morning working with your mom. This sounds really interesting! I have lots of Poppy seeds so Will give it a try. Thank you.
I too watched Erin sow the poppy seeds in the snow and last winter I did the same; they were beautiful! I will be sowing more shortly.
Colorado zone 5b here & I do this every year. By late May/June my yard if full of poppies! Works great!!!
you are good story tellers - . It makes it feel like we are there with you as you work together. so much fun.
So interesting 🤔 😏 to watch this and see what can still be done in a garden in winter!
Please do a follow up after everything blooms!
I cannot wait to see how this turns out for you. I live down here in 7B where poppies are not fond of growing. Is it possible, yes. Do they like it, not really. This is going to be a really treat to see it work where they prefer to grow.
Food for thought. Here in Australia we mostly don’t get snow but the Shirley Poppies grow very well. Maybe just wait till the weather warms up a little. It could be one of your experiments.
I just ordered poppy seeds myself. I’m totally going to try this now!
Those birds chirping in the background ❤️🐦🌺 ( maybe a robin? )
I've never heard of doing this. I'm so excited to try it out.
I love it, you and mom walk the same... Lol 😂 awesome 👌
I LOVE blonde ambition ornamental grass! Enjoy your content so much. Think spring! 😊👍🏻☀️🌸 PS my dog loves watching Russell 😂 haha.
I love your channel! It is always so helpful. I love how giving you are, not only with your knowledge shared here but acknowledging other channels. I know it takes a while to start a channel... there is a young mom who has a channel Diana Marie Home. She has a old farmhouse she is restoring and she is a gardener. I 🤔 some of your viewers would really like her. Maybe you would too!
Marti, you are so very kind to spread the word about my channel. I can not thank you enough for all of your support, thank you!!
I saw Erin as well. Now that everyone's trying this, I am in - I have a habit of weeding stuff I shouldn't but I'm going to try🤷😋🙏👏
The seed are quite distinct with blue/ green leaves.
Thanks for your inspiring videos Laura, I really love them. I grow Iceland and Peony poppies here in South Australia but have never found they needed the chill factor. Mine self seed a lot but I also collect the seeds to plant and give away. Their germination rate is fantastic so I always need to thin them out. Sometimes I mix the seeds with some dry soil or potting mix. It makes it easier to spread the seeds a little further so you don’t end up with dense clumps.
I am really looking forward to seeing the progress when they come up.
Cant wait for an update on this. been looking into Poppies and I think that's what I'm going for this coming year.
It's a good idea to mark where uou put them. Last year I planted poppy seeds on the winter along the edge of a fence where I previously had dwarf kale. Then because I thought it was dwarf kale kept pulling them to plant nursturtium . A few escape and were beautiful.. lesson learned . Mark it . Journal it
Read the journal!!!!
I saw Erin do this as well, but did not wait for snow and spread them in my tiny space a couple weeks ago. Now there is snow on the ground and really hoping for success. Love that everyone is learning from each other. Can't wait to see those beautiful drifts in you and your moms gardens.
Yippee my darlings. On my definitely gonna do this year. --also took the grandkids out to pick and blow the milkweed pods one year, so much fu n
