My salal died during the heat dome, it just wasn't well established enough to survive. The red flowering currant doesn't like the soil I put it in, so I will be taking care of that in the spring. But the coastal strawberries! I bought 11 plants to play with to see if I wanted to use it as ground cover. They love the full sun spot I put them in, and they have sent out runners that have expanded beyond my wildest dreams. Can't wait to see you in the spring. I want to add hardhack to the swampy area of my garden, and I'm still toying with the idea of devil's club.
Make sure you have full shade for Devil's club (though not sure what your latitude is, I'm all the way down in Portland, also at an upland site that isn't riparian so that didn't help) I had one in partial and it didn't make it 😢. I had a salal die as well, though I have a new one that I've just been watering more fastidiously, that was also younger when I planted it initially, and I planted it in a different location (I initially tried under planting a Thuja plicata but in my urban area I don't think there wasn't enough water for both). It's spreading now so that's a good sign.
Hi Josh - Nice to see a new post! Glad you’ve found a new location to continue your PlanBee Nursery. I share your enthusiasm for native pollinator plants. I’m considering starting a nursery myself here in Northern California. Right now, I’m trying to establish natives on 12 acres in Butte County. Hoping to collect enough seed to start seedlings or sell seed. Forty varieties is impressive! Hope your growing season goes well! 🌱 🤗
Selling Native plants. That's a great idea! I think I watched a couple of your earlier videos. But now I've put that Idea on my list to start in my corner of the world!
Great work! Found your awesome video looking for advice on starting a native plant nursery. Sounds like you’ve made some great progress. Thanks for the lessons learned and tips! Grow for it!
Hey josh! This is almost exactly what I plan to do here in Kentucky focusing predominately on edibles and pollinator attractors. Looking forward to following along with your journey! Good luck.
I also started a nursery this year. I’ve learned with potted plants its important to have enough perlite in the potting mix for better drainage. Sounds like you’re off to a great start!
Cool! There is not enough info on growing natives out there, unless maybe you're in SoCal or in the US Prairie regions or something. Looking forward to more videos! :)
Yes, pretty much just me so far. Although I occasionally have a few friends that offer to help me out when/if I need it which is really nice if I start running behind on things!
@@soujirou86 yea, it sure is. Really easy to get burnt out by the time summer rolls around. I find the most energy just goes into repotting all the seedlings into bigger containers!

Fantastic, I wish you the best with your potential nursery and establishing your plants as well! :)

The more people selling them, the better!

Good for you bro! Sweet Nursery.

Good.
Looks awesome, I'm doing something similar on a much smaller scale

Do you have any tips on IDing native vs. introduced stinging nettle or getting the specifically native subspecies nettle seeds?
great work, are you doing everything by yourself ?
Yes, pretty much just me so far. Although I occasionally have a few friends that offer to help me out when/if I need it which is really nice if I start running behind on things!
@PlanBee Native Plants it is so much work i am also starting one where I live. I keep running short on soil :(
