Snapdragons have self seeded all over my garden, and this winter a particularly tenacious plant has survived the winter and has been flowering the entire time too! I love watching the bee's bums poking out of them when they're feeding :) Thanks for another informative video Steve
Omg I’m thrilled to hear about the snap dragons I grew a dark burgundy one last year so fingers crossed it spread 😂😂
Plants really are amazing and never stop surprising us...Steve...😃
Last year I did winter sowing in plastic jugs with my snapdragons outside and had very strong, resilient plants.
It is a good reliable method Kati...Steve...😃
Looking good 👍
You learn something new everyday, I never knew to pinch out snapdragons 👍
Every day is a school day Cal, thank heavens for that!!...Steve...😃
Definitely much brighter in your greenhouse with the bushes down Steve, thinking I may get some Snapdragons this year, Mums favourite flower..
They are a good value plant Stephen...Steve...😃
I really appreciate how comprehensively you cover sowing and propagation. I'm a fairly experienced gardener but still pick up plenty of useful tips and ideas from you. Hope you didn't get any damage from storm Dudley.
Thank you Penfold, I try to do the best I can. But always after recording I think "I should of said that" or "should of done this" No storm damage here in our village I could see this morning and none on the allotment site thankfully, we'll see what the next storm brings...Steve...😃
Oh my god I’ve been pinching out these plants for years & putting them in the composter 🤦🏻♀️when I could have been making new plants 🤷🏻♀️ I never knew this!!! Game changer - thanks Steve
Anything you pinch or cut off a plant, is worth planting to see if you can get it to grow...for free...Steve...😃
Thanks again Steve always appreciate the knowledge and advise you share, I always learn something new 👍
Thanks Janet, it's good to know my videos are making a difference...Steve...😃
Thank you Steve, I never knew that about snapdragon cuttings ---very good
I hope you can get some cuttings off your own plants Joan...Steve...😃
Thanks Steve, love snapdragons! 🙂
A very obliging flower Kim!...Steve...😃
Her indoors does all the flowers, Veg ,Lawn, Pond are mine, but as Snapdragons are one of my favourites she always sows a tray or two
Sweet Peas are mine Norman...Steve...😃
Thanks Steve. This something I've done for many years with lots of plants, but your way of teaching is thorough. I've often wondered what I'm doing wrong because I usually lose more than I gain but now I think that's the way it goes. 👍
Another great video. I want to sow a lot more flavour then i have before. This was very helpful. Hope the weather hasn't caused to much damage. Keep up the great work. 🌻
Another cracking video
Many thanks Paul...Steve...😃
Hi Steve, great video, thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you Christine...Steve...😃
Thank you for that video Steve it's great. So many great tips. In fact thank you for all your videos and the work that you put in to get them onto You Tube to help us all.
Thank you so much Linda, that is very kind of you and is my inspiration to go and record more videos...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUpThey really do help. Even though I've been gardening for many years I'm still learning from you. I'm just jealous that you have allotment, up here in the NE Scotland there aren't many around. I look forward to the next one.
Hope you're doing ok in the storms Steve - stay safe 👍
Thanks Willow, much appreciated. I think this first storm was a lacklustre, the next one appears to be a bit heavier. But before we had this storm naming thing, storms where just a windy winters day and here in Cumbria we treated it as such...Steve...😃
Thanks for this Steve. I’ve just received about 20 seeds of antirhinum pontiac apple blossom, which look stunning in photos. I thought my only option was to save seed, but I will definitely be taking cuttings and overwintering in a cold frame. Thanks again 😊
I dont think collected seed comes back the same as the mother for snapdragons...Steve...😃
Hahaha oh stuff I love that made me chuckle. I leave my antirhinum in garden all winter once planted they just go on and on and set their seeds naturally. If you let seed heads to go dry on the plant just crumble the seeds in the soil around the main plant and they just keep on going. It’s good idea having the plank high in poly but we only have a little poly can’t really do that. Thanks for prompting me to sow sweet rocket and ranunculus 👍🖐
This is the great thing about gardening there are many ways to get the same result...Steve...😃
I’ve put my cuttings in water and they have roots on then I pot them up in soil.
Beautifully explained 😃😃😃
Thank you Eli, hope the storm was kind to you...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp kept me up most of the night but thankfully no damage
Howdy Steve!👋 I did notice the bush was pruned down.🙂
Some of the most beautiful gardens I have visited through the year were created by gardeners who were big into propagating. Through propagation, division, and saved seed one can afford to make large areas of flowering plants, bushes and trees.
I love to save money so I can spend it on something else needed or desired in my garden.👩🏾🌾
I enjoyed this post very much too...I've never grown Sweet Peas. I'm learning! 🙂
Oh Valorie, you HAVE to give sweet peas a go, even if you have to buy young plants, promise me you will try this year!...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp Okay, Steve, you talked me into it.😄 That was hard to do.😄 I have a lady in a nursing home I visit weekly and the Sweet Peas seem like a nice cut flower I can take her.👩🏾🌾
Wow, just noticed how many subs you have , you’re giving the young pretender a run for his money 🤣🤣 thanks for the tips on sowing snap dragons , love them!
Thanks Angelina, channel has been growing steadily. Hopefully I will be able to show the sideshoots growing out of the snapdragons in a few days time...Steve...😃
Hello Steve I’m growing a dark burgundy snap dragon and would love it they self seed 😂😂. I did notice you took out the yellow bush 👍. Hope your safe with all these storms 👍🇨🇦
Thanks Ali, very safe here thank you. Let me know how you get on with the self seeding, always interested in such things...Steve...😃
The main stem has a particular hormone that tells it to grow directly upwards.
Thats right Jeff, and when you cut the tip off that hormone is sent all round the plant encouraging the sideshoots. Thank you...Steve...😃
Hi Steve. Great info. 😊 I have grown my snaps from seed a month or so ago. I pricked them out and put each tiny one in its own module (1 inch x 1 inch) I put them outside on a table and so far each any every one has survived. They each have a pair of true leaves now. Do I leave them in their modules to grow more leaves? How many pairs of leaves before i pinch out?
Hi Steve, thanks for the ongoing inspiration. Do you trim your leeks? If so, when would you do that please? Haydn
I used to trim both foliage and roots at planting time, I have not done this for a few years now...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp okay, thanks Steve.
Thanks for the previous sweat pea germination video Steve. Mine have sprouted in record time :)
That is brilliant James, I am so pleased for you, now give them plenty of light and cooler temperatures if you can, a cold greenhouse is good...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp Will do Steve. Thanks again
I noticed that the bush had been pruned down. I have some of mine that need doing too.
HI Kath, it's amazing the difference it makes, it fells like something is missing in the garden now! ...Steve...😃
The only internodal cuttings ive taken are fuchsias..............'brian
Hello from Sussex UK.
I've just watched your video as I plan to sow some snapdragons myself very soon. The garden where I volunteer still has some antirrhinum plants in the ground from last summer, can I grow more plants from these? If so, how do I go about it? I've been gardening in my house for 30yrs but I'm still learning!
When the snapdragons are seeding they have heads that kinda look like skulls. When the skulls have dried out collect them to get the seeds. Sow indoors and plant out when it's not frosty (and not during a heatwave)
I saved seed pods from red snapdragons last year, They were sown in november and I have loads of tiny seedlings too many to count. I was not sure if the saved seeds would work so I over sown thinking I would not get many... now I have tons lol
You will get a cracking display from that lot Michele, I have never saved seed from snaps before, but I believe they dont come back true, so your plants could be a mix of colours, I would be interested to know if that happens for you...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp I will let you know how they go, I will also take cuttings for friends now you have shown this nifty video, Take care for now Steve
@@GreenSideUp I know they cross breed very easily so if you have multiple colours they won't neccesarily come up the same colours as the parents. They are one of the easiest plants to breed though. Of course, if you have an f1 hybrid they won't come up true regardless. The pale yellow ones generally always come true for me unless they've cross-bred
Just learnt something new Steve :) I do pinch out my spring sown Sweetpeas, but I haven't done it with my Snapdragons before, so I shall be trying that out. All the best, John
Sieshoots on Snapdragons can grow rapidly once they start...Steve...😃
Are you retired steve? You do so much it must be a full time job 👍
No not retired yet, but I have gardened for over five decades and I am quick and efficient at it. So I can get a lot done very quickly without having to think about it first, its all familiar so I can crack on quickly...Steve...😃
First !!!
You are fast !! You win this weeks firsty crown...Steve...😃
With over wintered sweet peas when can u put them outside?
You could start hardening them off in March, with a view to planting out at the end of that month...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp thank you for the information
I never know when I can sow and grow in my greenhouse
When in doubt, spring. Plant out after last frost after the first true leaves are showing.
