Beautiful garden ..good tips.I Would just like to hang on to each bloom ..but with words of wisdom ...im snipping every day.one of my neighbors asked me what's with this snipping ...so i tried to educate him on "dead heading "😊thanks always practical advise
Good to hear!
I've just started deadheading more. It's worth the effort. Sweet peas are one that must be dead headed!! Of course, we could just get out there and make bouquets more often. Something I always mean to do, but..
Sweetpeas! Of course. I actually stopped growing them because I couldn't keep up with the deadheading.
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden this is the first year I've grown them for quite a while--they have gotten away from me before. I'm working from home now and am able to get out to the garden on my lunch break.
Thank you I have been needing exactly this. Simple and precise ☺️
Glad it was helpful!
Petunias do wonderfully if you deadhead regularly by pinching back. I’ve had a garden for 30 years and have managed to not have dallies until this year because they are one flower I simply do not enjoy at all but now, since I was gifted several I’m going to be forced to deal with them, therefore I’m quite glad you mentioned they could be deadheaded - I didn’t know that!
Thank you
Love it.. Short sweet and to the point ❤
You are a treasure❤
Clear and concise information, thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sometimes it's nice to leave some spent blooms on roses so you have rose hips in the winter for some quick easy rose hip tea.
Absolutely
Do you know how i should deadhead Celosia?
Thanks for this. I am puzzled about what to do with the deadheaded blooms. Is it ok to just let them drop on the flower bed? I can't compost them in my small garden.
Personally I often just let them drop as they will rot and return goodness to the earth. However, I don't know if that's a common practice, it just seems convenient to me.
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden Thank you so much for replying with sound advice. Yes, I'm letting them fall where they will. Thanks for your channel. Very helpful for a newbie like me. All best.
Thank you for this video. If you didn't have a secateurs handy, could you just pull off the dead heads or is it preferable to leave a clean cut. Tks
Just sharing my experience with coreopsis, they gives me lots and lots of flowers at the same time, and I have more than 40 flowers spices and ornamental grasses and cut flower that requires deadheading so I can't deadhead the coreopsis properly so to get them not going for seed I just pull out the spent flower, but I notice that in that plant (coreopsis grandiflora) if I just pull the spent flower and leave the stems they last more time to give me flores, and give me them gradually but larger with a big yellow visible center flower, but if I cut spent flowers with the stems they give a ton of new triple petals (like ponpon) flowers faster but a bit smaller with a non visible center. The opposite happens with my Cosmos purity, the more down I make my cut larger will be my flower and larger the stem, but it will take some time to get there. So I use to manage those things different If I need a larger stem for a arrangement or I just want a splash of colour readily or I have no time to do properly cuts when I'm busy with succession plant or things like that.
@@TMBgarden thanks for that 👍
Yes, I sometimes snap them off between my and fingers. I cant always cut to next set of leaves so I will just cut the heads off in that scenario.
Yes, I sometimes snap off with my thumb and forefinger - I think the main aim is to get the flower head off so that it starts thinking about making more flowers rather than creating seeds.
What about coneflowers? I’d like to extend the bloom as long as possible but I know the birds like the seeds heads so I’m not sure what to do.
Maybe you can keep deadheading in their prime or flowering periods to promote more flowers and prolong flowering and quit deadheading just before frost to let them for forage to the birds or winter interest or even get some seeds.
@@TMBgarden that's what I do.
I agree with the comments here - dead head the earlier ones but as time goes on, do less dead heading. It is a bit of of a juggle!
Good tip is to use scissors instead of pruners for easy deadheading. Makes the job easier so you don’t mind doing it.
Absolutely!
What is the best way to deadhead geraniums? Thanks.
People usually clip the whole plant with shears and quite close to the ground, which I personally find difficult as I think they won't grow back again, but they do!
What type of hedge is it you film in front of?
It's a climber called Parthenocissus Henryana or Chinese Virginia Creeper. It's less fast growing than ordinary Virginia Creeper but still needs trimming twice a year
Does this work for a Lavender tree? I'm new to outdoor plants/flowers. I have many old faded blooms and a few new blooms coming in. Thank you
I have a lavender tree and started deadheading it a month ago and it looks so much better, those dead blooms don't seem to fall off ever
@@carrie893 I cut them all off last week. None of the dead blooms would fall off on their own. Hoping to see some new ones come in soon 🙏 🤗
👌👍
Use my nails, and snipping movement on softer stems.
You’re wonderful.
Thank you!
