Blue hair, Vulcan pillow, and native garden lover... You are a friend in my head and I'm so excited to have found your channel! TH-cam is finally suggesting content that I actually love ❤
I have watched several videos. Just recently found your channel and I am a new sub so I do not miss your future videos. Love the content. Education on how to read the label is helpful!
I have been binge watching your videos!! I ordered a bunch of different varieties of native seeds and did 50 winter sowing containers this year! It’s my first year discovering both winter sowing and the importance f native plants. Last year was my first year gardening(new mom, first house). I unknowingly went to nurseries with my mother in law last year and bought everything I thought was pretty with no knowledge about native plants. But discovered the importance of them by stumbling across a Doug Tallamy video. And then your videos were recommended and now I can’t wait to start this native plant journey! I need patience though lol im getting super anxious for spring! Just thought I’d share that and thank you for your funny informative videos!
So glad you're getting value from the videos! I have a similar story where I bought a lot of things the first year I didn't decide to keep or buy again. 😅 but now the garden is going strong and we have lots of visiting creatures! Thanks again for the support! 🌱🌱🌱
Great information and beautiful photos! I planted a lot of natives from plugs last year and, if planted where they are happy, plugs really take off. However, plugs aren't easy to find as it seems that the growers can't keep up with demand. So, I am adding natives to my winter sowing- it seems logical that this method should work well for them.. I have a large property so buying quarts and gallons isn't practical were those actually even available. Alas, my favorite wildflower, trillium grandiflorum, like the jack in the pulpit, takes years to bloom. I have eurybia divaricata (white wood aster) and solidago caesia (blue-stemmed goldenrod) growing naturally in a dry shaded area, so that is an idea for fall color in the shade. I am growing more of the solidago, the aster spreads by itself. I am in Zone 6b/7a NY.
That's so great that you are restoring your land! I agree, plugs are usually the way to go, but winter sowing can really help a lot! Keep us posted on how it's going! 🌱🌱🌱
Seeds I bought: Tennessee coneflower, turtlehead, old field goldenrod, hairy beardtongue (names!), golden alexander, spotted bee balm, blanket flower and Culver’s root. Will try winter sowing with many of them.
I’m really surprised to hear you said you had some trouble with the Jack in the Pulpits. I did Prairie Moons shade mix and that was one of my first plants to come in. I would say though, almost all of the native shade plants have been slow to come around from seed mixes compared to the PDQ and other popular sun mixes they sell.
It probably won't flower the first year, but the second. If it has full sun and moist conditions it grows fast! First year I grew from rhizome and it flowered the next year. Then the third year it was 5x the size! Will need to remove some of it this spring and plant it elsewhere.

At last! Haha we are a specific niche and there are DOZENS of us! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
Growing a native garden this year. Very excited!!
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
Great video! Some people may think I have enough plants, but every year I find another dozen or so native plants that I *need* to try!
There's so many to choose from, my garden is full but I figure out how to sneak 'em in! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
Never too many plants! I love winter sowing, can’t wait for more videos on that!
Thanks so much! Looking forward to it. ❤️

Beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much! 🌱
I like your drawings!
Thanks, notoots!
Fantastic video about native plants! It's hard to pick just one favorite! Now I need to check out your other videos.
Thank you so much!
Omg... I love this video!
Thanks so much! 🌱🌱🌱

Good for you! Such a diverse group of plants for your garden! For such diverse conditions too, that's bound to be a success!
Let’s goooooo!!!!!

Native shade plants seem to take forever...
Sooooo good! Great info!!! Fun vid!!!🎉
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it. ☺️
Bunnies love that Phlox. I can't even find mine anymore. I think one year too many of getting eaten. I love it but IDK if I'll keep trying.
I've had the same problem on a different property, it really depends what your bunnies like!
I will also be removing a lot of plants this year. Taking out non-native 1960's era landscaping and replacing with native.
That's awesome!
I wish we are neighbors 😅
Aw, thanks me too! I would have so many plants for you! 🌱🌱🌱
How long does it take for Filipendula rubra to flower from seed?
It probably won't flower the first year, but the second. If it has full sun and moist conditions it grows fast!

You can't have enough plants. You can only have not enough room.
This is a fact! 😆 I'm definitely running out of room
@@lisalikesplants I'm thinking of invading the neighbors' yard. They're not using it anyway.
Sometimes if you ask, they are super happy to accommodate flowering plants! ☺️
