The secret to knowing your zucchini is ready to harvest
The zucchini is ready …. When it’s the size you like! I don’t like ours getting much bigger than this because it seems to happen overnight! You’ll see it one day as a cute little babe and then BOOM the next day it’s too bit.
If you take the zucchini off when they’re small like this, it allows the plant to continue to produce more and they’re all this nice tender sweet Zucchini fruit instead of being tough and hard.
We get questions sometimes if we use the zucchini, flowers, and we don’t because we don’t have enough zucchini plants to pillage the flowers, instead we want it to focus on growing the fruit.
Here’s the real question, what point do you like to harvest your zucchini? Small medium o...

How to start another lilac bush from a cutting
Просмотров 29День назад
This is how you make a new lilac plant from a cutting! You might have heard it call propagating, that’s what you will be doing - propagating a lilac. It sounds fancy, doesn’t it? if the lilac that you are trying to propagate, has shoots, coming up from the base, dig several of those up, plant them in pots, and allow them to grow in a shaded protected area. Those shoots will turn into a lilac Bu...
Peonies and ants are friends!
Просмотров 8День назад
If you love, peonies, then you must love ants as well. The ants are truly the friend of the peony. That sticky sweet syrup on the peony invites the ants to come and have a little meal and as the ants enjoy that sticky syrup, it helps the peony blossom to bloom so don’t spray the ants off. Welcome them in and if they are still on the bloom when you go to cut it give it a shake you could dunk it ...

How to get your peonies to bloom all summer long!
Просмотров 17День назад
It’s TRUE…don’t tell the peonies we figured out how to get them to bloom all summer long. I’ve even heard some grandmas. Tell me they have saved their peony blooms in their fridge until thanksgiving! I have never been able to wait that long, but I have successfully held them in the fridge for several months. Here’s how you do it : - Cut the peony blossom when the bloom head feels like a marshma...
Don’t make this mistake when planting your tomatoes!
Просмотров 336День назад
One of the things we do to help our tomatoes grow into the BIGGEST plants possible…yes even here in the PNW we can grow big happy tomato plants!! The secret is to bury the stem several inches down. Take off any leaves on the bottom 4 inches of the stalk and then bury it to the point that the dirt is a couple inches away from the next leaf set. Your tomato will send out the biggest root system w...
How to get the longest vase slice for your hydrangeas
Просмотров 134День назад
Hydrangeas LOVE a dip in a Hot Bath … truly. It helps their stems to stay open so they can absorb as much water as possible and stay happily hydrated. This actually works for lots of different woodier stemmed flowers like Butterfly Bush, Elderflower Branches, Astrantia and yes I’ve heard lots of folks say they give their lilacs a dip on a hot bath as well! Cut the stems at an angle, then cut th...

Heres what to do when you forget to pinch your zinnias
Просмотров 245День назад
Oops I missed a few zinnias - they didn’t get pinched and now they’re setting on flower buds! Pinch them now!! I know it feels rude and wrong, but that little zinnia plant can produce WAY more - much larger blooms with much longer stems if encouraged to. So cut the top off the plant, right above a leaf set and watch it fill out, and get bigger! If you’ve just planted a fresh batch of seeds be s...

It’s spa time for our Butterfly Bush Blooms … this hot water bath trick works GREAT for flowers with woody stems like lilacs, hydrangeas and yes steamy water also works to help roses that have droopy necks! I smash the stem and then set it in the hot steamy water while I work on other elements, then they’ll be fresh and sturdy for bouquets and arrangements. My non ‘sciencey’ explanation of why ...

That did not look like a hydrangea ?? What kind is that purple prettiness
😂😂😂I've been calling this plant a Daphne for years. Blaming my mom! 😂😂😂❤
You could easily just say you live a very unfulfilled life i can see it in your eyes 😂
Thanx good info
I worked so hard to get my rhubarb to grow, I've been afraid to harvest the stalks! Something I see with my rhubarb is the stalks don't turn dark red, some stay greenish even when large. I'm up to 4 plants, I'mm so excited!!! Two of my plants are from an abandoned rhubarb farm in puyallup. It was under development into a wedding venue and I had the chance to salvage some 🎉
So cool! I'm also a pacific northwest gardener, south of Seattle. Just found your channel ❤
Love the idea and it's my first try
Would love to know the name of the zinnias you are growing. Thank you
Butterfly 🦋 Bush 😅😊
Great to know. Zinnias are my favorite flower. 💜
Please send me more info about the Zinnia you grow
👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
Hello beautiful girl ❤❤❤
Great information, thank you. What variety is the best to grow for long stem zinnias.
Beautiful!!! Thank you Kelly. I had no idea .. I hope to do this with my peonies perhaps mid June 2025 🥰
You are so welcome!
I need more info on zinnas
Thanks
Nice info.
Please send me the zinnia variety you recommend
Thank you for your information!
Glad it was helpful!
Wish u could send me some seeds ur flowers are beautiful ❤

How to overwinter perennial cosmos?
Hi Kelly silly question but I’m totally new to this! Can I plant the seedlings in my standing planter where I’ve also planted my dahlia tubers?
Yes you can! get them transplanted before they get to big, Zinnia's don't like being moved after they have been established. You can also add some new seeds straight into your bed that way you'll have a fresh crop of Zinnias later this summer!
Thank you so much for sharing! This summer is my first time growing these beauties from seed. They’re not quite ready for this but as soon as they are I’m pinching❣️
So glad you found this useful! I hope that your zinnias are full and beautiful!
the lime jiuice company has taste standards built in. If you get a bag of limes, its a mixed bag. You go girl. Pie
I use chamomile tea for my enemas. Stomach acids weaken the potency.
wow! that's amazing - way to find the best way to use it
@ciderpresslane Thank you. I have used coffee enemas, essential oil enemas, herbal enemas, tea enemas, and warm water enemas since 1995 and loving every last second of it.
O my lord your cheating 🫵😳
Those look great!
Glad you like them!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I just moved to a new property in New England and we have soooo many beautiful plants as our property waded previously inhabited by a botanist. This video was Just what I needed to keep his stunning legacy blooming all summer!❤🥰🤘
Where can I locate your other dhalia video "unboxing" for spring time...division..
I enjoyed your video! Which city are you in? Is it similar climate to Toronto(Canada)? My tubers didnt make it through the winter. I had them in peat moss in paper bag in a cardboard box in the garage. They shrivelled up. I will buy dhalia tubers and plant them again and try your method.
So sorry your's didn't survive the winter! We stopped using cardboard boxes for our storage because they allow all the moisture to leach out of the tubers. It's why we started using the plastic totes with the fine wood shavings. The wood shavings keep the moisture balance in the tote while the tote itself keeps the moisture in. Storing tubers is such an individual climate, individual storage area thing to sort out. We'll keep sharing dahlia videos thru the season!
So, it's been a year since you made this video. I don't see that anyone has posted a video or photo of peonies stored int he fridge and then revived in a vase. C'mon, share, please, we want to see if this really works!
How much time do the blooms need in the water, after coming out of the fridge, to be in a good bloom?
I just stumbled on your channel. You are so cute. When your peony is it's first year and smaller, what type of fertilizer is best.
This looks yummy! 😍
Yes!! it is SO delicious
Here are the recipes! ciderpresslane.com/blog/2023/5/25/lemon-curd-amp-devonshire-cream-for-the-dreamiest-of-slow-mornings
Great tip, thank you!
which level of fridge should I put them in? middle? Bottom?
Lol
Hello Kelly. Excllent video. Thanks for sharing. That straw hat and those overalls fit you perfectly. I'm definitely going to follow your recommendations for storing those lovely peony blooms in my refrigerator. 🌻🌼 🌹😉
Hello Kelly. The garden's looking absolutely lovely. Thanks for all your gardening tips.

Add music or something...too quiet. Looks delish
We're still going to eat it😋
exactly! doesn't stop you for enjoying it, ha!!
Beautiful pie great job
Hi! I was wondering what zone you're in.You said you leave the tubers in the ground. I'm in 6b but we don't have much of a winter anymore so thinking about trying it.
Hello! We're in 8b near Seattle Wa. We get snow and freezing temperatures occasionally and the dahlias are still okay in the ground. Here's the secret to keeping them happy : plant them in a spot that gets REALLY great drainage so that the ground is not soggy thru the winter. When you cut the dahlias back in the fall or at the end of their growing season cover the area with a thick layer of dry leaves or mulch to insulate the ground. Our dahlias come back every year bigger and bigger! We have found that after 6+ years the dahlia tuber clump does need to get split or quartered to help it continue growing happily.
@@ciderpresslane Thank you so much! This was my first year growing tubers and the dahlias were HUGE!! I can't wait to see how it goes!
