Who else is excited as I am to see Laura’s garden come spring time 😁 this is almost as exciting as Christmas lights 🥰🥰🥰🥰 can’t wait to see all these tulips bloom. 💕💕💕💕
I saw seeds at the garden shop the other day and now you explained why I need them. I planted tulip bulbs in a planter and now I need a fill in!! Thanks again😀
I obsessed with your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. I learn a lot from you. Question: do u have a video of the after of this video? I will love to watch it.
Love the “grown up gardener” comment! I feel that way when I get a new tool that is priced that took me a long time to purchase! Lol! Glad I’m not the only one! You are awesome.
Oh yes...I had seen huge potted flowers with tulips and pansies...Springs just round the corner... Looking forward to your huge flower pots in full bloom... Thanks for sharing...💖💝
These videos are FILLED with great information!! I never thought to plant pansy seeds 🙄- of course!! Between this and the winter sowing I will be able to grow so much more! Thank you Laura !
Oh how fun, coffee with Laura and one of my favorite flowers getting planted! I actually still have pansy's growing in one of our pots on the playground so this is making me want to grab some seeds and a couple of pots and start some more!!!
Hey Laura and family! I love your posts and watch most of them multiple times, even referring back when I’m trying out some of your ideas. My family jokes that I start off many sentences with “Laura says” 😁. Have you ever tried to grow a Harry Lauders Walking Stick? I love the visual interest of them all year long. You are such an inspiration and I’m so glad you share your beautiful gardens with us every week.
Those pansies look glorious! They should grow, if they grow in the garden from seeds than they don't need seeds starter soil. Laura enjoy the winter and the down time, you will be plenty busy starting spring! 🤗🤗💜
It took me two months to watch all your videos :) Thank you for all the wonderful tips and ideas. I'm glad I found your channel, you're great! Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Love pansies and what a great idea. Pansies do take a bit of maintenance through the growing season because they can go to seed quickly. But, just a pinch here and there and you are good again.
Hi Laura! What a great idea! I have trouble growing pansies because my back yard gets so much sun, but I have Violas that self seed and come back all over the place the next year. I even have some that are still blooming! Thank you for sharing!
A short video is better than no video and I certainly enjoyed this one knowing that by this time next year things will look more grown-up. Thank you for all the hard work you do and letting us be there with you.
My pansies are still blooming from September - NW Florida. My oranges are getting ready to pick and I want to start seeds BUT heard a really cold front will come in at the end of this week and be here for about a month! These changes in temperature are so hard to follow! I can almost see those pots in all their glory - what a show!
I like planted coreopsis v. Mardi Gras two years ago and those things still prolifically reseed everywhere. I love in Houston, so I let the coreopsis seedlings survive in the fall to bloom mid Winter for me... I also do nasturtiums, pansies, marigolds, and salvia splendens. They'll bloom all winter long and give nice winter interest.
Living vicariously through you right now, no where near ready to plant here yet. It's -40 right now, close to -50C with the windchill. Planting is so far away...
LOVE PANSIES! fav of mine, and for YEARS i didn't bother with them as I thought they were spring flowers, and since we are military I don't do spring flowers but now, LOVE ME SOME PANSIES
I am SO glad you posted this because I have been wanting to plant some pansies myself but have been too scared to. This has given me the push I need! Thank you! Looking forward to seeing these in the spring!
Those pansys are gorgeous I don’t see those multi colors they have some but not the color you planted can’t wait to see the glorious colors thanks Laura
At your inspiration, I finally planted lots of bulbs this year. Mostly in containers. All of them I topped off with pansies and violas! I’m in zone 7b, so they are beautiful all winter. I’ve been loving them...
Oh fun! I did a few more planters with bulbs recently (as we've had such a mild Winter here on the Coast in Cape Cod) so you've inspired me yet again. I'm getting some pansy seeds tomorrow and sprinkling them on my bulb planters!
I cant bring myself to pull the 🌱 out to thin...cant do it!! Laura, i love hearing you crunch across the gravel when you walk, little feet walking fast lol!
Hi Laura. I live in zone 9b and each Veteran’s Day I plant a whole lot of tulips and I over plant the area with pansies. This past summer I ordered my bulbs from Color Blends (thanks to your video I now have a new source for ordering my bulbs) and I planted 600 Gamay variety tulips (in our zone we have to chill them in a refrigerator for about 6 weeks before we plant them). I then over planted with 15 flats of (720 plugs) pansies in lavender shades. The pansies are stunning all by themselves, and now our daffodils are beginning to bloom (which is common for our zone). Our Gamay tulips have popped up and will probably bloom in the next 5 or 6 weeks (which again is common in our 9b zone). I can’t recommend enough of over planting tulips with pansies. Our home is on a corner and neighbors and strangers alike will stop and tell us how beautiful our garden is. The joy gardening brings to others is such a wonderful blessing to me and my husband. Blessings to you and your family, and to all your gardening fans ☺️
Ok now I really have the bug to plant some seeds, I'm going to try the plastic jug method outside along with some seeds inside. We are going to get some really cold temps next week so I better start on the jugs now. I've been looking at some seed catalogs and would love to try planting some perennials. I also need to find a particular pumpkin seed. I loved that blueish green one you had in your fall display by your door.
I just saw the jug video the other day, but thought I needed to wait about 6 more weeks.... I'm in zone 6. But I'm antsy to try it too, if your going to start now, then so am I!! LOL :) I have one whole jug saved so far...
I’m wanting to plant pansy seed for the fall. They will typically grow through the winter here, in Birmingham AL. Thank you for all the content, I learn so much from you!
Wooohooo let’s hope this works for ya Laura ... I just sowed 180 desert roses seeds last Friday and Sunday, I’ve got 3 up so far so that’s a good sign .... Looking forward to a future video to see the progress of the tulips and pansies Laura. 💕🌺💕
I can't wait to see the progress on these. Also, I'm making an effort to be more eco-friendly and eco-conscious this year and I'd be interested in a video on how you recycle or upcycle your broken, worn out, or updated garden equipment/tools.
Hi, Laura!! Great episode, thank you. Do you start seeds in-doors under grow lights? If you do, can you show us your process. Also, about how many flowers and veggies do you start from seeds and do you have any favorites? Thanks again!!
Hi Jody, there is a nice guy from MIgardner on utube who did some seed basics. This guy is very smart and he remembers when he started out. He also explains growing lights to start seeds. Plus sells seeds and sells 99 cent. Check him out, I have found it nice he tries to be mindful about money. Hope that is helpful.
Fantastic idea! I saw a video where someone sprinkled an inch of seed starter soil on the top of potting soil so he could direct sow into hanging planters- that might be worth a try next year if the pansies don’t take.
Painsys, forgetmenots, and the likes is what they plant as a ground cover for bulbs all over Europe in their public gardens.... It is y Just beautiful! Can,t wait to see yours ...😀🍃🌸🍃
@@tippystreats My take on this, is that she felt so grown up that she had discovered that she could use something that normally is used for spraying weeds to water her flowers. Nothing else, I know she did not mean that anybody who has less gardening experience or less garden space is not a grown up gardener. That wouldn't be Laura's nature!
I bet the display of pansies will be beautiful! They’re such a hardy and cheery plant 🌱 definitely a favourite here in Manitoba. The green thumb itch is starting but we have to wait a bit to start seed sowing. Last year I started peppers indoors in March and they were blooming by the time my garden was ready for planting 🙃🌶🌱 hoping to try flowers from seed this year. Thanks for sharing 🙏😀
Hey Laura, thanks again for your video. I absolutelly love experimenting with you. Trying new things in the garden, is what makes gardening so enthralling. I can’t wait to see what happens with those pansies. By the way I’m so jealous of your green house!!!! Keep up the good work
Can’t wait to see what these look like in just a few months (woo-hoo!) I do wonder how people sow really tiny seeds. When I planted the winter sowing containers, I just did my best to sprinkle and spread the super tiny seeds in and then I wished them luck!
It will be interesting to see how this works! I always thought pansies need to be started on a heated seed mat for proper germination...you are my favorite TH-camr!!😆 keep up the good work!!
I would love to see a little more about starting seeds indoors with a grow light, like a time laps... maybe? or how you have done it in the past. I am going to get a grow light and just go for it but I really feel a bit nervous about doing it right. You inspire me!
Thanks for teaching us so much and taking us along on the journey. Your enthusiasm and attitude are refreshing. I think we all feel like you're a family member! I'm curious, do those pots have Braille on them?
I have never used seed starting mix; frankly I didn't even know it existed. But I have never had problems with seeds starting, and if I of all people had success, you of all people should have success...
Yay! I’m so excited to start seeding. I have had Superbells from Proven Winners over winter, but the petunias I started from seed act like we have never had freezing temperatures. It can be a pain, but starting plants from seed seems to make them far hardier than store purchased plants. I understand why, but it is just so cool to see your little babies go to town!
oh wow I have one of those sprayers, bought it to spray and scrape off old wallpaper and forgot it is actually meant for gardening. I totally recommend it for misting the walls if you have wallpaper to take off. It works wonderful.
I would love to start seeds this time of year but I do not have a proper place! And I love pansies! I am also ready for Spring, this weekend while I am watching the snow storm, I will be making my list & possibly preodering!!!! 😁🌱💚👍🌱🌷🌷
LAURA, YOU ARE DEFINITELY A GROWN UP GARDENER!!It's a great experience to watch your videos. I'm excited to see how those pots turn out. I'm in zone 9b (northern California) how do I know how long I have to plant bulbs? Thank you so much.
The pansies I started required they be in the dark until they sprouted. I just covered them with a black plastic. They came up in about 7 days and are doing well so far. They haven't gotten true leaves yet but when they do I will transplant from plugs to 4 inch pots and begin fertilizing 50% solution once a week.
Here where I am on Maryland's eastern shore the Pansies & Violas are still blooming beautifully right now, it's been crazy warmer here too. I just recently put up a sign for my AirBnB and planted Tulips and Daffodils around the base, guess now I need to get some Pansy seeds =^)
Where I live I plant bulbs in containers in layers then plant the pansies on top. So there is a succession of bulbs one after the other. Then when the pansies die out in summer, I plant summer annuals in their place.
I can't wait to see how these turn out! Can I do the same if my pot is not in a cold frame? I am in zone 5 as well and have bulb containers on my open balcony so it doesn't get any wind or snow, but it is just as cold.
🌸 This is going to be so pretty!! A few questions. 1. If I want to do this in a very cold zone 6 (no ideas why we aren’t zone 5) could I do this outdoor maybe later in February when temps are around 30-40 or is that too cold? Wondering how cold is too cold to start pansies this way! 2. Probably a stupid question. Since these are shade loving plants can you start them in outdoor shade..? Or do I need to move the containers to the sun until they get established, then put them back in the shade? 3. I really hope you d updates to show how they’re doing and how to pinch / thin / etc. I guess this ones not a question 🥰🤣
Hey Laura they make a metal nozzle for misting seeds. Gives off a super light stream waaaaay better then an a pump sprayer. A professional greenhouse supplier should stock them.
Hi Laura thank you so much for the seed planting information I am just starting to plant from seeds, we have two plus acres to fill so there's no way I can get all my plants from the garden shop. I am also trying starting from cuttings, if you could give us some help with that I would really appreciate it. I have watched Mike Kincaid's channel he is very helpful, but would love to see your approach. Thanks so much for all your help over the years love watching you every morning,!
I am wanting to try seed this year! I have outside with unpredictable results in containers or it could be my inexperience with seed lol!! I loved that area that you had all of your supplies!! I wish you could do a video on it!! I need all the inspiration I can get to get more organized!! I have stuff all over and can never find it when I need it!! I am a little upset because I can’t find my favorite # 6 telco pruners!! I have the # 2 as well but I love the 6 so much better!! Maybe they will show back up!!! Btw Laura, you are the most grownup Gardner that I know!! I am many years older than you and have been around gardens and growing all my life but you have taught me so much!!!! I would also love to hear some recommendations for landscape bushes for my zone 8 here in Alabama.
Guess who just run outside and popped a couple pansy seeds in my tulip pot before sunset. Thanks Laura!
Who else is excited as I am to see Laura’s garden come spring time 😁 this is almost as exciting as Christmas lights 🥰🥰🥰🥰 can’t wait to see all these tulips bloom. 💕💕💕💕

It's nice to see your enthusiasm I get the same way and people think it's a little weird sometimes when I get too excited about my garden
I have such a small garden so I live through you and your adventures!!! Thank you!
Your kitty jumping outta the tree was adorable :)

I love your trial-and-error method, so like all of us novice gardeners. You seem to have mostly success as you try various things.
Thank you for showing affordable projects! With a $500 annual garden budget, I love projects I can do also!
Oh how fun, coffee with Laura and one of my favorite flowers getting planted! I actually still have pansy's growing in one of our pots on the playground so this is making me want to grab some seeds and a couple of pots and start some more!!!

Brilliant idea for sure~ Those pots will be an absolutely gorgeous show with pansies and the bulbs! I can hardly wait to see!

It took me two months to watch all your videos :) Thank you for all the wonderful tips and ideas. I'm glad I found your channel, you're great! Greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Can wait to see how they growing and look gorgeous 🌷👍
Is there an update to this video/these planters?? I can’t wait to see what happens!
I am so nervous and excited for this. The suspense!!!
Love pansies and what a great idea. Pansies do take a bit of maintenance through the growing season because they can go to seed quickly. But, just a pinch here and there and you are good again.
I love these and pansies are so much easier to dry. Can't wait to watch them mature.
Love this How did they turn out ? where is the flow up video ? ❣️
DID YOU NOW MY NAME PANSY🙂🙂🙂🙂
Hi Laura! What a great idea! I have trouble growing pansies because my back yard gets so much sun, but I have Violas that self seed and come back all over the place the next year. I even have some that are still blooming! Thank you for sharing!

I LOVE pansies. You made my day, thank you!
Just bought a home with a big yard so I could get some dirt in my hands again. This after living in a condo for four years. Can't wait to spring!

I can't wait for them to start blooming. It's the waiting that drives me nuts. Then they do & it's so beautiful.

Me too getting some Pansy seeds to put in my bulb planter.
I cant bring myself to pull the 🌱 out to thin...cant do it!! Laura, i love hearing you crunch across the gravel when you walk, little feet walking fast lol!
I’m waiting for my lavender seeds to arrive then the seed starting begins! Thanks for the constant inspiration!
Right now Laura as I watch this video it is -42 below in Regina sk and how i wish i could be seeding seeds,I love pansy all colors

Looking forward to the spring show of flowers!!! Tiny tiny seeds!!!😊💪🌱
My grandmother told me, when i was very young, "Pansy's are a happy flower!!" Excited to see these planters bloom!! 🍀
Now you made my eyes water up. My grandma used to say "I just love pansies, they have the sweetest little faces."
@@trace9657 Love our grandmother's described this sweet pansy the same!! I take a handful twist tied and use her coffee cup as a vase. Memories...
They do have such happy faces!
I’m wanting to plant pansy seed for the fall. They will typically grow through the winter here, in Birmingham AL. Thank you for all the content, I learn so much from you!

Here in South Carolina we plant pansies in the fall and they overwinter even if we get snow then in spring they get huge and out on a big display.
I have never used seed starting mix; frankly I didn't even know it existed. But I have never had problems with seeds starting, and if I of all people had success, you of all people should have success...
Love pansies. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out. 😍
Love pansies! They're so strong 🤜 I can't wait to see your outcome 🤗

Oh Laura, if this works, these pots are going to be gloriously gorgeous! Thanks for bringing all of us along for the ride❣️
🌸 This is going to be so pretty!! A few questions.
1. If I want to do this in a very cold zone 6 (no ideas why we aren’t zone 5) could I do this outdoor maybe later in February when temps are around 30-40 or is that too cold? Wondering how cold is too cold to start pansies this way!
2. Probably a stupid question. Since these are shade loving plants can you start them in outdoor shade..? Or do I need to move the containers to the sun until they get established, then put them back in the shade?
3. I really hope you d updates to show how they’re doing and how to pinch / thin / etc. I guess this ones not a question 🥰🤣

I'm excited for more seed starting!
i love your channel hello from perth australia xx brillant ideas
Hi Laura thank you so much for the seed planting information I am just starting to plant from seeds, we have two plus acres to fill so there's no way I can get all my plants from the garden shop. I am also trying starting from cuttings, if you could give us some help with that I would really appreciate it. I have watched Mike Kincaid's channel he is very helpful, but would love to see your approach.
Thanks so much for all your help over the years love watching you every morning,!
I am wanting to try seed this year! I have outside with unpredictable results in containers or it could be my inexperience with seed lol!!
I loved that area that you had all of your supplies!! I wish you could do a video on it!! I need all the inspiration I can get to get more organized!! I have stuff all over and can never find it when I need it!! I am a little upset because I can’t find my favorite # 6 telco pruners!! I have the # 2 as well but I love the 6 so much better!! Maybe they will show back up!!!
Btw Laura, you are the most grownup Gardner that I know!! I am many years older than you and have been around gardens and growing all my life but you have taught me so much!!!!
I would also love to hear some recommendations for landscape bushes for my zone 8 here in Alabama.
Your the best youtuber that I know 😁
