I’ve had the most stressful day ever , coming home to watch this really made me smile. Thanks a lot, stay safe🌷🌹🥀
Thank you, that really means a lot 💗
I love bulbs too! They are like forgotten buried treasure and a thrill to see bloom each spring.
Thank you so much! Great tips for me to plant my bulbs... I've purchased lots of bulbs and I didn't know how to plant them correctly lady!
You shared some great ideas there, thank you so much. I received my 1st batch of my cool months bulbs today, getting ready to plant.
Delightful young woman giving a very clear demonstration!
Such a beautiful and relaxing video, can't wait to see how it turns out when everything blooms
Mint oil or mothballs/flakes puts them off
you have such a sweet smile, this was a pleasure to watch- very informative thanks!
So happy to see your post Katrina.
Something to look forward to watching later.
Hope you and yours are very well.
Hello from Ontario Canada Thankyou for the tutorial this is something that I can follow even here lol! Nice idea topping with winter plants much better I agree than bare soil. Ps we have many squirrels looking for a meal actually have a squirrel nest on my tree in front garden I can watch him or her from my bedroom window! Take care of yourself and your loved ones 🐝
Those pots are going to look amazing. Well done it's going to be beautiful.
Such a lovely video, Katrina. You're going to have a wonderful display of colour in Spring. Take care. Jan :-)
You just always seem to be enjoying yourself no matter the weather. Kudos!
Fantastic....an entire year later! Fabulous mix you have there Katrina!
Being from Canada I am always amazed at your weather and your gardening practices! After about the last week of October till the 3rd week of March there's not much I can do ! I like those terracotta pots...it add a very Victorian type of look to your garden....
Thanks for another fabulous video, love your work
Awe, grannies blossoms ( pansies and geraniums both most used annals going , just like grannies are the most needed and loved ) .
Love your planting arrangements. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
OH GOSH. Perfect. I found a bag of bulbs and we are in snow. Thank you for this💝🇨🇦
Yes! 🙌🏻 Get them in, get them in! 😁🌷
I love Farmer Gracey’s plants. I’ve ordered my Spring bulbs for 2023 already ( If I’m spared 😂) The peonies I got from them are luscious . Your allotment is just gorgeous.
Just placed a order with Farmer Gracy 😊 can’t wait until spring , love the video X
Excellent stuff! Thanks for watching 🌷
So beautiful and nice presentation, nice propagation of bulbs and beautiful soil mixture tips and propagation tips 👌👌👌
Thank you, I’m so glad that you enjoyed it 🌷
Beautiful video!!! Thank you... Loving the choice of bulbs...
Thanks for watching! I’m so excited for spring 🌷
Loved your potting! We're just getting our bulbs in now, and really like the idea of the winter flowers on top.
It really helps to brighten those gloomy winter days! Thanks for watching. Happy bulb planting 🌷
great idea with the layers and chicken wire thanks for showing ,great presentation .
Hi Katrina !! Thank you for sharing this lovely video! You inspired me to go get black parrot and Ballerina tulips from the garden centre! I used your technique to squirrel proof them too! Looking forward to seeing them bloom in spring!
Yay!! That’s so exciting. Thank you for letting me know. I really hope they grow well for you. Keep me updated! 💗🌷
Good garden information! Nice videoclip!!
Thank you for sharing some very interesting and great ideas
its all going to look great
Thanks Steven! I’m so excited for spring now 😁🌷
Good morning. I live in London. I have cheeky squirrels coming in my garden. But they have never dug up my bulbs. Mind you I do have two feisty cats...
Thank you for this video. It has really helped Re planting spring 💡 bulbs. I thought I had left it to late.😅
exciting!! those tall slender terra cotta pots are so pretty!
I can’t wait to see them all in bloom! 🌷
Hi. Yes squirrels do love bulbs. Funny story I planted most of my bulbs in containers when they were done blooming I put the bulbs on top of my storage box to dry and LOL within 2 days they had all been eaten I was amazed that the squirrels had devoured over a hundred bulbs in such a short time span. But at least I did have the blooms and they were beautiful. My all you can eat bulb buffet was a hit with the squirrels. Can't wait to see your bulbs come spring. Take care.
Oh no! The little rascals 😆 I learnt the hard way when a couple of years back I planted a hundred or so bulbs in my carrot bed. The squirrels dug them all up weeks before they were about to bloom, leaving me with a short green stem. I’ve also learnt not to keep them in the shed, in case the mice find them too! Haha
@@homegrowngarden Thanks but actually it was okay with me because they had finished blooming and I was just going to experiment to see if I could overwinter the tulip bulbs and regrow them for the following spring.
Gorgeous 🌸💕🌸
Living in the mini state of Rhode Island . this chicken wire over bulbs its a great idea. squirrels dig up are bulbs all the time. i will try this over the holiday bulb planting.
Bless her little cotton socks❤️
Very nice job on the bulb planting, they will look beautiful come Spring, Speaking of Alliums! I have six bulbs in a big earthenware pot & they're already sprouting & around 4" tall. 😮 The seasons seem to be all mixed up at present!
Woah, that’s crazy! I’ll have quite a few alliums to plant in my wildlife corner when they arrive.
Ahh yes the squi-rrels, I used this method when they took their knives and forks out and ate all my snowdrops, I used garden mesh instead though and tacked it down with fleece pegs.
Awesome young lady !!!! And I know to well.....i can't help over buying stuff...its an addiction for me 😊 I have already received 4 seed catalogs and thats early here in northern new York State........already have lots of things on my spring purchase list 🤗 Everyone have a great Thanksgiving !!!! Be safe !!!!
I received my order with farmer Gracy today and after watching your video I ordered some more flower bulbs😬😬 wish me luck x
Uh oh! Happy planting 😆💗🌷
Speaking of springs getting increasingly warmer, I've been having trouble getting carrots to germinate.
So in 2021, I am going to plant them 2 weeks earlier than traditional planting time.
Planting early, one can always replant. planting late and one risks the season getting too dry.
Nice planting
Thank you!
You've restored my faith in bulb lasagnas- mine have never come out properly but I think that might be the squirrels. I'll have another go
Yes, it’s not too late to plant them!
I've just seen a tip to add chilli flakes to the top of pots planted up with bulbs to deter rodents...not like you'll have a shortage of them later in the year!
Very nice. Thank you very much.
I live on the Belgian coast.
planted also a lot of tulips in containers.
I ve got drainage at the bottom, but still a bit worried about the rainy weather throughout the next months.
I don t want the bulbs to get too wet ...rotting risk
May I cover the top with plastic ?
I mean put a kind of an umbrella at the top when it will rain too much and remove it if the weather is better .
I would do this till February.
What is your opinion ?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Marcus
Hi what lovely videos! I've just found your channel. I am a new allotment owner and I've found this very inspiring! Can I ask what you studied at uni? Was it plants? Also is your day job gardening related? I work in a garden centre but I'm finding the best teaching is hands on practical, success and failures 🙂 keep the videos coming please x
I like this tutorial and made 11 pots! Did you water the pot thoroughly after planting?
Love your content. Where do you buy the terracotta pots? ❤️
Do more videos of planting digging out
Superbe rempotage vidéo très intéressant et instructive merci et à bientôt ! Je m'abonne à bientôt !
Thank you for sharing l suscribe !
Can I use ranunculus bulbs in a layered lasagna recipe? lol I would like tulips, daffodils, mini iris, crocus and ranunculus if at all possible. Definitely want to attempt one real soon. Also when I set these bulbs in a pot in December and give them as Christmas gifts do they need to be watered before I give them away or after they receive them.... This is all so confusing bc one video says you water them another says you don't so the bulbs don't rot. Please let me know! 💐 Sheree' 💐
Thanks for this. I did my first ones last fall and put pansies and curly cabbage on top - pretty packed in on to, though. Should I thin these top pants to make it easier for the bulbs? I hear they will grow around other plants but the crocuses are so small. Thanks
I’m sure they’ll be fine!
Thank you!
Half videos I watch about bulb lasagna say don't water during winter, and the other half plant on top winter flowers. These flowers need water... Wouldn't that be bad for the bulbs underneath? 🤔
Loved watching this. Where do you buy your bulbs? Any tips?
A variety of places to be honest! These were from Farmer Gracey but I also like J Parker Bulbs, Peter Nyssen and Sarah Raven.
@@homegrowngarden Thanks. I’ll get looking online 🌺
@@homegrowngarden Just ordered some tête-à-tête narcissus and pride tulips 🌷from Farmer Gracey. Looking forward to a sensation of colour next spring 🌈🌷🌼
Placed an order with Farmer Gracie.... they should give you a commission
Great video. When should I remove the chicken wire??
When you change up the planting in summer/autumn the bulbs grow through it fine!
@@homegrowngarden Thank you
I planted bulb lasagne this year and failed miserably. I ended up moving my fabric pot to outside in january when the bulb started sprouting. I wanted to stop the sprout, but I think I ended up getting the bulbs frost damage. do u recommend keeping bulb pots ( fabric pot) inside an unheated garage? we are in zone 6
Planted bulbs need to be kept outside. They’re frost hardy.
@@homegrowngarden should I keep fabric pot bags outside? on -20C would the bulbs die? as the soil will freeze completely? I saw in another vide that the bulbs are growing even during winter and they will die if the soil in the container freeze over..
I'm about to go to war with the squirrels... I planted 400 tulip bulbs. I did do the chicken wire and cayene pepper. I still see holes everywhere when I come home from work... Hopefully I went deep enough yet not too deep.
When the tulips come to life, will you take out the Cyclamen or leave it in the pot
I leave them to grow through it
@@homegrowngarden what a good idea
Lovely video. Is it easy cutting chicken wire? Seems painful.
As long as your pliers are strong enough it’s easy! It’s a bit time consuming and repetitive but it doesn’t hurt ☺️
@@homegrowngarden perfect, thank you. Ordered some wire 🌷 😎
I was in the kitchen listening to you and I heard you say Victoria Secret. I went, 'what?' 😮I was like why were you talking about the store? Dahhhh. 🤨 Didn't know there was a flower called Victoria Secret. 😂
Hahaha! 😆 No, I’m not planting sexy underwear in pots 🤭
😂😂😂
Hi I have planted about 500 in 3 pots 3 years ago,great flowering the next spring but very poor the next year what did I do wrong
Nothing! Not all spring bulbs are reliably perennial and won’t always bloom the year after.
@@homegrowngarden because there's so many blubs in one place how often would you feed? Or should I just mix a little blood and bone with the compost before planting?
Would you have to divide regularly as well?
🙏🏾👍💐💪🦾💁♀️
I notice that you do not use a starter fertilizer nor you explain how and when do you fertilize them throughout their growth. Can you address this?
I must say... It is nicer listening to your English Accent. My American accent is very flat sounding...
