You are just saving plants that would just go to waste. No one would bust you. Your knowledge of plants is why you can get baby plants for free. Then your care of them continues the process of growing them to mature plants. It's a positive thing. Way to go!
That's what we think! They would be weeded away (or die when frost hits) anyway. :) And in our own garden, we're making sure the plants that we want get priority :)
i am from canada and i love your channel i also gather seeds wherever i walk i love your enthusiasm as i am 77 yo and took up gardening when i retired six years ago many thanks `` sorry for mistakes but am typing on a french keyboard
I loved this video and it's motivated me to make time to collect seedlings in my garden and grow them on. Also, my son has offered me some of his seedlings so we will do a swap. Thanks again and happy gardening! :) PS I like waiting til the spring to add in new plants as it gives you time to 'reflect' on where you want them to go and also space to put in yet more spring bulbs.
OH MY GOD! I feel like watching myself. Rescuing babies in my and other’s gardens. 😅😂🤣 Thank you very much 🙏🏻🥰❤️ for this video. Your interaction between each other is so cute. 😊
Like 529, Wonderful footage stunning the beautiful alluring plants that entice some of the viewers to keep on watching, thanks for sharing and bringing us to this wonderful relaxing garden and stay safe always.
I've been doing this too lately and enjoying it. There are some plants in my garden that I originally bought about ten years ago and I have kept them going by digging up the self seeded babies each year. Was surprised yesterday when what I thought was a rescued Foxglove seedling turned out to be a Verbascum now that it's grown and is about to flower. Still a lovely plant though. You have some nice areas around your house to collect baby plants. Good to see Mahlatsi at the end.
We’d love some more verbascum! It’s on our list for next year ☺️. Hopefully the one we had self seeded - we didn’t collect seed from it in time. But surely it’s there still 💚
Just what I needed! Very helpful to show the seedlings as it is sometimes very difficult to tell the difference between the weeds! I’m off to hunt around the garden for some seedlings!
You’ve inspired me to collect three baby Echinacea plants and one Heuchera Migranta in front of the hospital my Mom is waiting for surgery, today. After securing those treasures I chickened out as people were watching and my boys grew impatient with their plant crazy Mom 😅 there were absolutely stunning grasses there, too. But I guess I hardly can bring my spate, dig up, and separate the plants in order to get baby grasses 🙈
Hahaha... i think we have to draw the line at digging stuff up with a spade. haha. First... hope your mom gets well soon! And secondly... great that you can find baby plants wherever you are! Seeds are probably ready to collect, too :)
I did exactly the same perhaps a month ago. I have a lovely ornamental grass (that btw arrived in the garden by accident) and wanted to propagate it. When I went to collect the seeds I noticed that there were already a few self sown seedlings growing around it so I just potted those up. So now I have around 20 young plants growing and looking good for a new border I plan to create next spring. Buying those perennial grasses would cost me €8 or €10 each. Almost €200 is not a minor saving!
Thanks for this plant saving mission - bursting with helpful tips like usual! Unfortunately I don't have a greenhouse. You said one could leave the pots in a sheltered spot on a terrace. Even during the winter? I can't believe it.
Yes... if you get them rooted before the frost comes, then you can easily leave these out if they are perennial for your area. The ones we showed in the video are perennial for our area :)
I love this video. I have been collecting seeds everywhere this year and also baby plants but it always feels a bit illegal. So I started collecting them from just outside of the plant borders where they are, this way I have free plants and I help the municipality with weeding 😅. Do you ever feel like that or like people watching you when collecting?
Thanks for watching 💚 We generally only collect from public spaces - and like you, where we know the seedlings will be weeded away. Lars is pretty quick at it - so that helps with the suspicious behavior feeling 😂
I love the self seeders. Now I’m old I just leave them where they are. Can’t do the bending down. In Spring everything just pops up and May and June look beautiful. I can’t manage all the dead heading so plants finish earlier but in old age it’s a way of carrying on.
Thanks for video of graveyard at Xmas. It’s so beautiful and respectful what you do!! My poor family grave there’s no space to walk alongside to fix plants etc. no one unless we do wreath on the grave they are left to sink!we lost one gravestone to sinking and had to buy a better one. You’re doing such a lovely satisfying job for your sleepers. On another note Lats in this video I see you carrying in black tray. I have two but can’t remember where I bought them. Can you tell me where I can buy more for instance do the Amazon shop sell I can’t find d them anytand they great for watering water runs through. I look forward to your trips in Denmark as my family comes from Copenhagen and I’m always looking for that too. Your English is wonderful I can’t read or speak danish and still have cousins there your country looks so lovely and clean. You’re a great family too!!
How great that your family is from here! It is a wonderful country... lots of rain... but beautiful and green because of it :) As for the trays... we bought them here at a local hardware store. They are boot trays (or shoe trays) -- things you put boots on when coming in from the snow. They do work well to hold pots too :)
Thank you for another lovely and informative video. Maybe all the seedings I pull out from the garden, could have been plants and not weeds 😅 lesson learnt!
I wish garden culture here in the United States was alright with us taking little starts from other peoples gardens/community gardens. If I were to do that here, it would be considered stealing. My neighbors would never let me take any of their baby plants. 🌱 Instead, I rely on garden centers to source plants, which often means spending lots of money 💴
Altså nu går jeg ikke ud hver dag og graver babyplanter op alle mulige steder☺️ jeg tænker mange steder er der meget selvsåede planter og der sker ikke alverden ved at tage en med hjem. Man skal selvfølgelig bruge sin sunde fornuft☺️
We knew that if we wanted a full garden, it would cost a fortune - so we had to find a way to make it work for us. Seed collecting and cuttings (and division) were the way to go. 💚.

Yes! Ideas that have no cost. You have my vote!
Yay! Thank you!
You guys are patient and thrifty what a combination. I love your videos. Thank you.
Thank you so much for commenting 💚

That's incredible! What a great hobby to take up... and it's a lot to keep busy with! Glad you're a seed collector, too :)
Ditto in my seventies and these guys still teaching me enjoy as I do I’m in uk 😊

Spring is a great time! We like the autumn, too -- so we can still remember where we had 'holes' in the garden and need some more color :)
I love your tips for free plants. Thank you both!
Our pleasure!

You are so kind! We know you love to rescue plants, too. Imagine if we were neighbors... we'd need acres and acres of space.

Ya'll are so thorough and great teachers.
Thank you! Coming from a great teacher like you, it’s a big compliment ❤️
This is so cute haha enjoy your video very much, great job guys

@@perennial-garden Thank you, that's good news.
Thank you for the video and information! Greetings from Finland! Moi moi!🌻
Hello back from Denmark 🇩🇰
You are an inspiration!
💚💚 That made our day!
I love this video. I have been collecting seeds everywhere this year and also baby plants but it always feels a bit illegal.

I can identify. I do most of my gardening on my hands and knees.
I bet it does look beautiful! 💚
I have lots of self seeded penstemon baby plants. 😊
Isn’t it great 💚
c'est un excellent moyen de faire des économies toutes ces boutures !
It really is!

They could have been weeds, too :) We have those right along with our perennials. haha.

My neighbors would never let me take any of their baby plants. 🌱 Instead, I rely on garden centers to source plants, which often means spending lots of money 💴
You can always 'shop' in your garden for little seedlings. At least there's that :)
Great show! I really appreciate it. If you can show me some natviol seedlings, I would be grateful. Mange tak.
We don't have any natviol this season. If we come across any (or when we sow some) we sure will let you know :)
Awesome thank you for great tips. What video creator do you use?
Thanks! We use Final Cut Pro - titles are from Envato marketplace. Hope that helps 🤓
@@perennial-garden awesome 🙌. Love! Love! Love you guys and the great episodes and beautiful garden 🪴🖖🏼
@@gardenfunwithpaulie Thank YOU for watching! :) really really
Må man egentlig tage babyplanter ude i byen og i byens bede parkbede etc., som I viser. Jeg er altid i tvivl om hvorvidt man må det????
Altså nu går jeg ikke ud hver dag og graver babyplanter op alle mulige steder☺️ jeg tænker mange steder er der meget selvsåede planter og der sker ikke alverden ved at tage en med hjem. Man skal selvfølgelig bruge sin sunde fornuft☺️
Gallivanting around town.... dare I say dressed in black....what no masks? 🌃😂😅
Ha ha ha! We left our masks in our batmobile 😂😅 (along with the shovel!) haha
That’s an eye opening statement. You’ve never had to do a plant haul.
You are the masters of free plants! 🪴
We knew that if we wanted a full garden, it would cost a fortune - so we had to find a way to make it work for us. Seed collecting and cuttings (and division) were the way to go. 💚.
@@perennial-garden I’m going to follow suit. It’s long overdue and I’m wasting money. Thank you for great content.
