Wow Christina you have grown so much this year you are in full bloom I pray God to keep blessing you
Thanks so much
Never apologize for weeds or anything else that IS a part of gardening. I scroll past channels that only present perfect looks; it's not reality. We all get weeds, bug damage, and plant disease. To acknowledge it is truth.
😊👍
Such an impressive expansion from years past!!
What a fun tour! Please don't be shy about giving tours even if you feel areas of your garden might not be looking their best. That "keeping it real" bit is so helpful to those of us who are Sunshine and Flora fans - it is so easy as a new gardener too become discouraged when our gardens might not look like the luscious beds we see on youtube. Knowing that weeds DO come but they can be managed and it's just part of gardening....one task at a time!
Thanks!
I love to see the progress of your gardens! Very nice! Isn’t it so much fun to see the flowers planted out and watch them grow and produce flowers!! My gardens are exploding! I live in Nornthern California and we can start planting out the first of March! With all of the crazy going on in California…our weather isn’t one of them! 😊
Everything is looking great. Look forward to the flowering season!
Thanks!
Well done Christina!!! It's all takin off!!!!
Weeds are always the quickest thing to grow 😂 Everything looking great ❤
Yes! Thank you!
Thank you Christina. 💐💚🙃
It is growing amazingly. Such beauty. Love the Reno info too.
Thanks!
I enjoy and learn a lot from your videos, thank you! I also LOVE how you are investing in your Downtown area, I feel that is so important and something that alot of us are missing...
thank you!
Looking fabulous!
Christina, you've made so much progress. Very impressive. I love the new planting bed up against the brick. I can picture steppingstones, and a trellis with vines up against the brick for your photo shoots! Question for you on the Yarrow. Some of my yarrow doesn't grow straight. I've had to provide a support, so it doesn't bend. It's still usable, but some of the stem have to be cut off when I use them in my floral bouquets. I do cut flowers in my own home garden for myself and friends. It's a hobby vs a business. I would so love to come and work for you, and you can pay me in flowers!!! Too bad you are not close by. 😊😊
I listened to a pod cast that Dave D. did, he said you can let the peony bloom just don't let the blooms go to seed. Also, I am zone 5 NY the Lily bugs are crazy today. Love your videos. 🌻
Good to know!
This gadern is beautiful i love it .new subbie i love cut flowers❤❤
Fantastic tour! You have weeds? So do we! It's good for your flower friends to see we share weed pressure.
I'm also in a zone 5a, in coastal Maine. I am a good 2 weeks behind you at this point, except my dahlias. They are huge. It was so wonderful and exciting to see your gardens!! Thank you!
Thank you!!
You should put your mahogany splendor in your flood zone. All of the mallow are literally marsh plants (marshmallow). They will probably thrive there. If it’s too expensive to dig drainage now you could also get some obedient plant or monarda which are also not afraid of an occasional flooding
Hmm interesting!
You will probably be able to use the campanula in mini bouquets. I love this flower. I will not be without it.
I hope so!
You've put so much hard work in! I enjoy watching you grow! My weeds are nuts with a week long heat wave. Hoping to get it under control again this week. 😅
Thanks! Ugh the weeds…..it’s gonna be one of those years
Beautiful! Color is so exciting! To save some time with upkeep, I started mulching with straw. It's cheap and keeps weeds out and moisture in :) I'm so excited your shop is coming along :) Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tips!
Yay for more gardening space! Looking good! For the raised beds in the area that floods, can you just add another board on the sides to make them taller? May be easier than digging to put in perforated drainage pipe.
I was thinking that but I think I still need to address the issue. But great idea for when it is fixed! That would help
Amazing!!!!!🤩
Fabulous
Love fever few, vegmo:)) lookin good! God bless
Thank you! You too!
I really want to try the floret celosia. Also want to try sweet peas
I’ll post how the floret celosia does! I have a feeling I’m going to love it
It’s going to be so beautiful! 😊
I hope so!
Did I miss the Lisianthus? I thought I was paying attention, but I don’t remember seeing it. Wow, everything looks great. I still have zinnia seedlings to put in and lost half of my Floret seedlings which bums me out. This constant rain really brings on the weeds, and then it’s almost too muddy to hoe. You’ve done a marvelous job Christina, and I know you are a busy woman!
Thank you! The Lisianthus are in the hoophouse. Small patch!
My campanula is still goingand it was 102 today…. Might be over soon…bot sure but yes i get small shoots you could use for small jars
Yes I’m hoping to use for my mini bouquets! I’ve had campanula on my table for 3 weeks and they are still looking good. So crazy
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕✌
What about lisiantis and roses and big pretty focal flowers which adds so much to a bouquet even sweet william hydrandrea
Wow, it is amazing how your area has grown and bloomed! I have followed you since your first year, much respect ❤
Thank you so much!
Hi Christina your feverfew looks really lush😍I’m new to growing flowers from seed and my feverfew looks miserable and is just not growing any advise would be great. Your plot looks amazing 🌸🌺😁
Give it time and fertilizer if it is yellowing and needs nutrients. The feverfew I am harvesting from now are 2nd year plants
Everything looks great! For things that are perennial in your landscape fabric, are you able to lift it and amend the soil at the beginning or end of the season? Or do they just have a permanent spot in those holes? I have some feverfew that seeded itself from last year and wasn't able to lift the fabric this spring because I didn't wanna tear the plants apart through the holes!
They have a permanent spot. But I do fertilize the perennials in the spring by watering them with fertilizer
does anyone know a good resource for bud vases...$1 or less each?
What do you for the grasshoppers
Try to get them in a bucket of soapy water when they are bigger. Or I might try some need oil?
Neem
Do you have any deer problems with your home garden?
They eat everything I plant.
So upsetting.
No I do not. Sorry! Bonide makes a organic product that does well at repelling deer - my parents use it
