I want to add that bees love, love, love oregano flowers! Mine grows like weeds in my garden but I don't mind because they attract so many bees.
Thank you for sharing. I love that you are so willing to pass along your knowledge. Its a blessing to have you as a resource for all things cut flower. Thanks!
Always a wealth of knowledge! I’m so glad I found your channel this last year.
That was a very helpful video, thank you for it.
Please do a farm tour!! So informative as usual! Blessings from Canada :)
Coming soon!
Love how high quality and informative your videos are ty so much
That's a valuable tip to wait for woody stems for basil. Thanks so much for sharing❤
Wow, your farm looks beautiful! I love how you combine cut flowers with edible herbs. It's such a clever and practical idea. also The oregano flowers are a delightful surprise! I never knew they could be used as cut flowers. Thanks for sharing this valuable information.
Thank you
Wonderful information as always! Thanks 😊
You are so welcome!
I love how you have arranged how u have positioned your gardens/farm
Love cinnamon basil as a filler. Smells great and adds some burgundy color.
Perfect timing as I'm thinking of adding more herbs & perennials to my cut flower garden next year. Kent Beauty Oregano is my absolute favorite and makes a wonderful "spiller" in a container! We have one that I planted in our tall raised bed 3 years ago and has come back strong & glorious every year, spilling in the most beautiful way over the edge of the container. I loved it so much that I used its color palette as inspiration for our home's exterior.
Do you have mosquito problems in your area? I'm jealous of you wearing short sleeves in the garden. I'd be covered in bites. Do you use spray? Would you do a video on what you do/use to keep mosquitos at bay?
Thank you!! Love this.
I've found yesterday about your channel, so inspiring ❤! Thank you so much for sharing all the knowledge 😊 . Love your farm and everything in it 🌻
Where do you get Kent oregano? I googled but didn't find a good source.
Thank you so much for the vid.
My pleasure!
Thank you for sharing this information… and for mentioning that oregano creeps the first year. I couldn’t figure out why my oregano wasn’t growing tall. 😉 I’m looking forward to seeing how tall it is next year.
Haha yes it can be confusing that first year-“isn’t this supposed to be tall?” 🤔😜
Love scented geranium.. as we call it here in NWNY, it is known to fend off mosquitoes.
Super interesting! I made lavender simple syrup to give as Christmas gifts last year, so some of these will definitely make it onto my garden plan for next year
Great video! Did you start these from seed?
I'll have to try your recommendations next season, especially hyssop! Side note:I really like bee balm (monarda). I saw it at home depot last year in a magenta color and it was so pretty! I just got a 2nd one this season (soft pink) to add to my pollinator flower bed. TBH, I see more bumbles playing in my zinnias but maybe that's because I have so many of them and not enough bee balm (yet). Yous look massive compared to mine and they're beautiful!
I have a three year old patch of mint planted in the ground and it’s maybe 2ft in diameter. I pull up the runners every spring (I do this with my bee balm and oregano as well, to keep them in check). I haven’t found the mint to be as problematic as I expected. Maybe I’m lucky in that my soil is loose enough that pulling up runners is easy? They stay on the surface, unlike milkweed or raspberries.
Love watching your videos from South Australia...just wondering what type of mint you like to grow?
Is Oregano aggressive? Can I plant it in a regular flower bed?
Also will these grow well in zone 7b?
I'm wondering what you classify as "native plant" some of the plants that you mention are not native to North America. For example Hyssop is native to the Mediterranean and Asia.
I want to plant flower in our 8 acres of land in india and we are opening a showroom in a prime location in india and i wanted to open florist shop where i plan to sell bouquet and also online but i don't know how to sell that much flowers or bouquet
Do you have any experience with European Vervain? I've been thinking of adding it to my garden but I'm not sure if it can become invasive.
I do grow Dill, so I choose not to grow Fennel because I’ve read that Dill & Fennel can…what’s the word…crossbreed?
