I love using dusty Miller as a filler in my arrangements .

Ive been doing lots of clean up too. Its that time of year. All the spring flowers have died away and need to go. Ive been out of town more this summer than most and it shows. Ugh. Lots of work to keep flower fields looking good.

I have a question!? I have grown or lay after the past two years and it does not get very tall at all! Is there a variety that gets taller stems? I use hay to mulch my beds. If I’m going to turn them over, I just pull out what is there and cover it back up with the hay until I’m going to plant again. I am finding direct seating doesn’t work that well for me. So I tend to start them in trays and put them out when they are pretty small.

This is random, but one of the reasons I love watching your videos because you talk like me! I'm from the Illinois side of the Quad Cities and I say "root" (and "roof") the way you do which I have come to find out is not the way people in other parts of the country say it.

Good video - thanks😊

I use mulberry branches early in the year, a tall wild grass we have here in Va. In June and catnip and bee balm foliage. Thanks for the tour and info.

😊

I picked many seed pods early in the summer. There are no pods on the vine currently at the end of July and I’m wondering if it will produce another set of seed pods near the end of its growing season?

I use raspberry greens. I'm in zone 3 so I rely heavily on raspberry greens early in the season when there isn't much else. It holds up really well. Longer than the flowers.

Sedum, when its still green and before the heads get too large. I have a huge clump in my garden and never thought about it until I saw someone else using it.

Mahogany hibiscus is the same as cranberry hibiscus. It makes a great drink. Use the young leaves in salads. Yes anise Hyssop is a mint and a perennial. Good to add to herbal tea.

Great list. I love using basil from my veg garden in bouquets.

OK, I was thinking about buying one for chamomile, but I can only really find berry ones.

I just planted 8 ninebarks..I use mints and frosted explosion currently. Hibiskus was a good idea thank you

😊

Beetles don’t see quite as bad here either this year.

😊

The stars of the show for me this year in SoCal 9b are Arabian Night, Kelvin Floodlight, and Linda’s Baby. My Wizard of Oz is starting to bloom too. I’ve been battling 100+ temps with shade cloth. It’s a challenge.

Where did you buy Wizard of Oz? I love it so much! I haven't grown dahlias successful (yet) 😢. I have trouble with them. I grew Lisianthus for the 1st time successfully but I think Dahlias are supposed to be easier?? IdK 😅 Golden Hour perfectly describes your backdrop. Your dahlias are Gorgeous.

some waterlilly type dahlias close up for the night, silver years is waterlilly type :)

An unrelated question here. How often do you water your hoop house over the winter?

Beautiful!

Nice video - you do a great job of explaining things.

Hoa rất đep❤

Beautiful Thank you or all the detailed information I love seeing the evolution of your gardens

May I ask what the spacing and aisle widths are for your dahlia bed?

The new space is looking wonderful! It has been fun to see the transition to the new garden design. If you’re interested in seeing what cut flowers are looking like in NE Washington, I invite you to virtually visit my garden via my channel - I posted a garden update last weekend. We’re growing much of the same flowers, and it’s interesting to see the slight difference in our season. My location is 6a/6b - we’re right at a transition line and in a small microclimate. Thanks for taking time to share an update!

That seems like you’ve created a really beautiful relaxing you pick experience. The landscape timbers make the beds really look nice. #farmgoals. My garden style is more chaos!😂

Beautiful 😍

The Beatles like marigolds more than zinnias

You do a great job.🌻.

How do you manage wild life. Rabbits having their way in our garden. Great tips for the Japanese beetles

Thanks for the excellent video. The secret garden space is coming together even without the shrubs.

What's your process for starting a new bed in lawn? Do you cut the sod first and do you use a weed barrier?

The problem I am having is where to plant all the new seedlings that will replace the existing ones until those can be removed in a couple years. 🤪

... From Québec ... Thanks so much ...

LOVE your channel! Just found. Planning to open a flower farm this year at 63 years old! Will love it i know. Looking forward to seeing your videos and thank you for sharing your knowledge with me!

New visitor here from Canada 😊 Enjoyed your video.

Great information. Thank you!

I really want to grow Cobaea scandens, but the seeds are SO persnickity. I've tried for 4 years, and have failed to get ant germination. I've knocked the seed coat, soaked, planted them on their edge, planted partly exposed, different soil mixes, etc. I hope this will be the year at least 1 sprouts!

I started gardening for my landscape. And never wanted to cut any of my flowers 😛 so this year I started a cut flower garden and I’m totally smitten 😊 I have yet to cut a bouquet because things are short or wonky or someotherthing 😂 but I did grow everything from seed.. strawflowers(thick thick stems, yarrow(will it flower this year 🤷‍♀️) ammi (seems short, bit filling out.. no flowers yet) seed dahlias (25 mixed.. so far they are red or white) gomphrena (plants are about 6” tall with a single flower in the center.. can’t really even see it unless your looking down at it) celosia (6-8 inches tall pampas plume mix.. that are mostly fushia) scabiosa (getting ready to open) feverfew(short.. but sweet flowers 😌) and snapdragons (not even sure what went on with them.. they are like spaghetti noodle thick with bitty blossoms) I also grew a bunch of winter sown perennials and cool flowers (that mostly failed 😣) I have seeds ordered for sowing this month.. lots of perennials.. yarrow, hollyhocks, scabiosa, rudbeckia, echinacea, gaillardia, honeywort, viola, phlox, mint. Love your list!

Great video....new subscriber ....watch your video with Jesse at b.a.r.e. flower farm.....🥀🌺🌻

Thank you, thank you for your detailed information Grateful for your knowledge and recommendations

Milky spore worked for me. It drastically reduced the number of these beetles in my garden and made it way easier to manually remove the remaining.

Sea holly is beautiful but smells horrible.

Yes I’m in zone 6b. They are all over my beans

Great info. Thanks for sharing 😊

Great information! I winter sowed a lot of these perennials and they are all blooming now in 5b. I will continue to grow these plants.

I think a lot of times when perennials plants are said to only come back for a few years it really means that they like being divided. I divided my 3rd year delphiniums this year and got about a dozen plants from each. I think feverfew, yarrow and dianthus also benefit from this but haven’t tried with scabiosa. Rather than being ‘shortlived’ they just don’t like being crowded. Just my observations of course. And of course this does set the plant back a year. Just love your planting list and looking forward to trying Sea Holly after watching Jesse’s (bare) videos
