I know this sounds weird for some but growing from seed to mature plant is a window into the miracle of life, I feel like I am honoring Gods creations😊
Hit 👍 as soon as I saw Foxgloves!!! Because our last name is Fox my Dad always made sure to plant many of them every year!!! In fact, he would collect the seeds from the dried seed pods each year (from those he didnt let just reseed for the next year). He would then keep his pockets full of them & when we were out walking - or somewhere - he didn't think was "enough color" he would then throw handfuls out. Sometimes probably in places he probably wasn't supposed too!😬🤫😉😅 I love my Dad & miss him so much! He was such a great man. Much of the reason I love gardening I inherited from him!!!😊💙💐
In latin, Vulpis means fox and in Italian, the name Vulpe means the same. So, if you come across that surname, they're a "Fox" too. (Others named Fox might have changed their name to Fox after emigrating to an English-speaking country.) 😀
@@Bamboo4U2 thanks that's very interesting!!!😊 I believe ours originated from Austria though (way way back) & was originally spelled Fuchs - which btw just happens to mean Fox!😅🦊
I keep waiting for conversation about peeling off the babies at the base that form off the MOTHER STALK.........I do that often and dip them in root stimulator and replant those with really good dirt.
When my seeds sprout & begin their life, It always brings the scripture to mind..that we sow, water, feed & care for each one, but God gives the increase.♥️Of course its talking about sowing seed in ♥️ of people & disciplining them , but I love seeing how God shows us through these beautiful examples, that He is with us.🙂🤗
Oh! The morning dove at the 3:49 mark!! Laura, I had what I thought was a massive amount of weeds in my iris garden last year... I left them out of shear neglect, and all of them were blooming foxgloves this year, a gorgeous creamy white! Thank squirrels! I didn’t plant them 🥰👍🏼
I have grown fox gloves for years❤️❤️❤️you will be shocked at how many seeds are in just one of the seed pods THOUSANDS!!!!’ I don’t understand how flower companies can justify selling one packet of seeds for 3 to 4 dollars a pack😡😡😡😡😡 l guess l am a millionaire and just don’t know it lol😂😂😂😂😂
On Laura's July 8th post(and other recent videos) you can hear the doves soft coo in the background off camera view. Laura is in the same area. Gorgeous view with the evening light
Your ‘Dalmatian Peach’ foxgloves are some beautiful. For whatever reason I didn’t have good luck with them this year but I’ll go back to them again because they’ve always done so well for me. Good to point out the toxicity because a lot of people are concerned about that but honestly there are far more plants we grow in the garden that are toxic to humans or animals than there are non-toxic plants.
Don't grow from seeds but want to make a comment on staking. I have tall delphiniums '72 inch' and stake them with green colored bamboo stakes. You can get packs of them at your local garden center. They don't show so your plants are upright and beautiful.
3:48 a Pidgeon just flew in and landed on the pineapple! (Grin) AND just before you warned about toxicity of the plants, Russell wandered behind you. LOL You explanation was spot on. I grew foxglove for many years. They have all gone now, but I have fond memories of the bees and hummingbirds flocking to them. Thanks for sharing and giving me a laugh. Stay safe.
My father planted 2 foxglove plants in the front of his house a few years ago and they have taken over😳 There are dozens of plants all over his front yard & driveway. Somehow they are even in his backyard now. It's insane.
Laura do foxgloves grow ok in humid areas? I'm in zone8a. I know it is dry there where you live. Thanks for all the gorgeous flower ideas. It's so exciting to see your yard change into your dream, very inspiring!
I'm so glad you did a video on Foxglove. I have admire these in my neighbors yard for about the past 5 yrs. Last year she asked if I wanted some small baby plants before the frost got them. I brought them inside and planted them in a nice size pot and kept them over winter and planted them outside come Spring. They are doing so good, can't wait to see what color I got from her, she has two different colors. Also went to the nursery and bought a beautiful purple color. I raise honeybees and have been told they are Great for pollinators.
I can't tell you how informative and joyful your channel has been for me these last few months since I found it. I teach, I wife, I mother, I write, and I garden, and sometimes I feel that I couldn't do any of those important things well without the gardening. You have inspired many new projects in my backyard landscaping that bring me so much daily happiness. Thank you!!
I started foxgloves this year from seed as well and had around 50 plants that I transplanted into the garden! Just amazing! You are right, you are more connected when you start from seed and there is such joy you get from the plants. Sometimes I’ll grow a snap dragon color I do not like, but I still marvel at the fact that I grew it. Keep going! Enjoying watching your adventure!
15:50 - WAS THAT THE CAT'S TAIL barely seen moving behind the Veronica (which is amazing!)? Doves, butterflies, cats, flowers & plants. What a beautiful, magical place You and Aaron have created!
I love your videos when you talk about a certain flowering plant or vegetable on their care. I have had a few hydrangea plants that have not bloomed or only had a couple flowers on them. After watching how to prune them and fertilizing them now my plants are loaded with flowers. I also did not know to cut back some of my perennials to get a second bloom. Keep coming with those videos.
And you are right! About it’s a great feeling to start from seeds! I grew Hollyhocks from & germinated! And when I seen my first flower! I just looked up and said Thank you! 💙🙏
Your Foxgloves are gorgeous. Now, my Dalmation Peach did not bloom the first year but that is my garden, They bloomed this year. To try to ensure I get blooms next year I will steal seeds from the bottom of the spike (from the first blossoms), start them indoors then move them out before frost, I will also shake the stalks after blooming to ensure dispersal. Thank you for your videos, I look forward to them every day. You are a part of my morning routine.
I live in the Pacific Northwest. We naturally get both fuchsia and white foxgloves. What I like to do is shake them (for seeds distribution) and then bend/break the center stalk over before fall/winter clean up.
Hi! Just an info about the ones that bloom the first year, there's the "Foxy" foxgloves that will work just as fine. I think that in general, the shorter 3 feet varieties do the trick.
Hi Laura! I just really want you to know how inspiring you are to me. I am currently going through IVF after my husband went through chemo and you have brought such INSPIRATION and JOY to my life. With all that is going on it has been very stressful. I never knew that I enjoyed gardening. It all started with watching your lemon tree video and enjoying it so much I watched so many more from there. Now I know how to take care of all of my perennials that were already at our house and have SO many plans for our yard in the future. Would LOVE to add these to our garden. Would these work in containers? We have a dog that chases squirrels and I would be afraid shed plow these over!
When I first married I attempted to grow Foxgloves & I got very frustrated! I wanted them to come back every year! Now I am more experienced & have learned a lot through the years! I need to try them again! Thank you for my on going learning on gardening!! 🌞🌺🌿😊👍🌱🌸
Laura, you can call the Dalmatian Pink variety 'Russell Pink'. He seems to be loving them and appeared the moment you bent a little and talked about them 😊
Laura, I love these, the colour is gorgeous! Could you do a video at the end of the season where you gather seeds in your garden and show us how to do that? Thanks!
I couldn't decide between hollyhock and foxglove this year and ended up going with hollyhock. Definitely finding a spot for some foxglove next year! Gorgeous!
Peaches and Dreams Double Hollyhock are gorgeous! Look for them at Park Seed. They're easy to start, if you plant in the coldest part of your winter. They need cold stratification. East of Denver, Colorado I start them in Jan, Feb or early March.
@@seanaames6855 hi! Thank you for the info! Park seed is actually kinda local to me! It's only an hour away so now this will give me good motivation to go over there! Cheers!
I’m growing Jet Black and Blacknight Hollyhock and the Blacknight blooms this year we’re stunning! I’m excited for it to reseed itself and form a nice little drift. I have seeds to grow MarshMallow next year as well...related to hollyhocks and hibiscus (I also have Bali hibiscus growing)...just need to find a nice wet spot for them(:
It IS such a great feeling to grow from seed. I agree...proud...so connected to the plant! I think foxglove is on the menu for next year! Thanks, Laura!
So beautiful! Can you show how you harvest the seed later on? Do you avoid raking and remulching the areas with foxgloves so that the seeds can germinate the following year or do they just wind up making their way back to the top? I know you said they require light to germinate. Also thanks so much for the seed starting video you did about these. I used the premoistened soil tip and my seedlings came up days earlier. Could always be luck but the more appropriate moisture levels are getting the credit. 😉
I started Celosia from seed this year too and they are very sad looking. I really like the idea of an entire vlog centered around the care and growing tips of a specific plant. I would love to see more of these type of videos Laura!
This year my foxgloves performed well in upwards to 100 degrees in zone 9. They do love water. They are beautiful!! People always walk through my neighborhood to view my garden and the foxgloves steal the show! 🤩
Coffee with Laura and good plant facts to hear. We have foxglove that grow wild on the back of one of our playgrounds and people always say we have to pull them out but the children don't mess with them. They are such a beautiful flower I love seeing all the varieties!
I LOVE how you answer the toxic question. You have such grace when i kinda feel deep down what you may want to say lol or at least i would want to say but probably never do. All kids are different when it comes to this kind of stuff though. I had my 1st two 15 months apart and those two got into NOTHING. They were easy. Then 8 yrs later I thought oh i want to have 1 more and ohhhhhh boyyyyyy that girl still hasn't stopped getting into trouble 16 yrs later. I love how you explained educating Benjaman. These day kids are too protected in some ways and left alone in other ways and it really is creating a huge mess. I heard a joke on Dry Bar Comedy about kids and how they are treated like glass. He almost got a ticket cause he didn't have a shade on his back window for his grandchild. He was floored. He said we didn't have sunscreen when i was a kid...u know what we used....DIRT. We played in dirt and had it all over our faces from eating it. no room for sunburn lol. Sorry i rambled as usual. Lonely person I am. I love those foxgloves but ever since i saw the veronica (i think) i was mesmerized. It is like they are glowing. Perfect for a moon garde i think. And of course i caught that tail go by. He truly photo bombs every video i love it.
Beautiful foxglove! ❤️❤️. I have enjoyed every one of your videos! During these difficult times, I find myself watching them over and over. I had Christmas in July with you just this past weekend. Watched all having anything Christmas in them. ❤️🎅🏼🎄. Lol, not that I want to push the season along at all, your videos just bring me a feeling of peace.
Dear Laura, You always make my day when I watch your videos. You inspire me to plant pretty flowers. I enjoy seeing you and your mom interact and spend the day together. I notice you both have the same type of laugh... Thank you! Adrianne
I love Foxglove. I always had goodluck growing from seed. My mom always had problem thinning hers. Mine always came back. They always reseeded. I also had some that bloomed in the first year. Becareful growing around kids. They are digitalis.
Love all your info & inspiration. And I grew up like you. We knew to stay away from the yucky plants yet crunch away on the neighbor's rhubarb stalks while playing hide n seek. This is my first year to grow coleus from seed; I feel so proud of myself! Happy gardening Laura!
Hi, I have had huge success with fox glove, in partial shade, and cow manure. They grow taller than my hight, 5f 6"! I throw seeds down every spring for next year's bloom. I live in Norway, ME.
Had foxgloves growing up in PA (zone 5a). They survived harsh winters.... Our pets never seemed to bother them. Really want to have them again.. wild & natural beauty to them
“Gucky “ - love that! We have 8 kids - not one has ever tried to eat my plants. Including our two youngest with Down syndrome. I know there’s always someone who will feel it’s not okay to grow these beauties but it is. And those peach colored blooms are DREAMY - especially in the evening light!
I use to be obsessed with makeup videos on TH-cam.....now I am obsessed with the plants because of you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 🌸🌸🌸🌺🌺🌺
A bsolutley love foxgloves! I too have neber had an issue with my animals eatting them. I grew them all along our front porch when we lived in North Carolina and they came back faithfully every year. Now I live in Pennsylvania and really need to plant them here so I can enjoy their beauty again. Thank you for the great tips on them!
When my kids were little and playing in the garden, they came to me to tell me the fuzzy peas were no good. I hadn’t planted peas. I asked them to show me. They were lupine seeds. Yes they are poisonous but they were sow nasty tasting they spit them out. Many poisonous plants taste very bad and bitter to tell us not to inject them.
Kate Hillenbrand could be safe after processing just like raw almonds are dangerous and if you ate 5 raw (I think red kidney beans ? Forget which variety) it will coagulate your blood and you die
have you heard of the ikea effect? its similar to you being proud of the seeds you grew - you invested the time in putting together furniture so you end up loving that furniture more.
My jaw literally dropped when I saw your beautiful flower grouping behind the chicken coup. Looking forward to hearing you discuss foxgloves because I haven't had good luck in Zone 5.
I'm very much a novice at seeding but you make me think I can do it! I immediately went to the floret website and everything is sold out. How many of you went to the website?
I saw this video last summer and decided that THAT was a most have flower! I’ve never really thought foxglove was something special, never grew them or bought them. So this spring I got hold of 15 seeds (really expensive) and gosh what I’ve enjoyed them! 😍 I’ve harvested seeds like crazy because I move 1 October and have the opportunity to have a nice big garden that’s a clean slate, I can decide and make all flowerbeds just as I like them. And your flower beds around the chicken coop is my inspiration! So many good ideas I’ve got from them that I’ll replicate and add things I like. So thank you for sharing all your expertise and positive energy. I think all of us followers get out right after seeing your videos and planning in our own garden!
@@kristineb.1405 i think collecting the seeds of hollyhock is easy. The seeds are in like that round Packet thingy. I wait untill they dry out. Sometimes the upper plant is still flowering, but its easy to pick that round seed thingy. Lol im gusessing hollyhock in israel are like yours. I soak the seeds before planting, and make seedlings i care for untill our rainy season.
Foxglove has always been one of my fav flowers but I've only just started growing it (from seedling). Such a timely video for me! So good as always 💖💖💖
Foxglove is one of my favs. Thank you for all the info on there needs and for the links. QUESTION; COULD YOU GUYS DO A DRONE WALK THROUGH OF YOU GARDENS/?
Hi Laura!! Those are really pretty flowers! You did a great job growing them from seed Congrats! I wish I had the room, and garden area, to do something like that. Than you for sharing!
we grew up next to lake michigan and were taught to have a a healthy respect for it. And we were taught about the woods and what was safe and what wasn't. I found that with plants for my kids as well.
I had foxglove pop up out of nowhere this year! After watching your success with starting them from seed I’m going to collect some seed and give it a try for next year😊
Laura my daughters have always been those kids that pick flowers and eat them. Smh Your right ita a process of teaching them what's safe to pick and not to pick. Love the video!
Very interesting. Thank you for the great information. I have only tried them once as my gardens are mostly shade. They did okay but did not reseed themselves. I might try them from seed next year. Love floret too!
Laura, the foxgloves are gorgeous AND rewarding! It’s good to see each other’s successes and failures because we learn from both. Is it possible to see how the sweet-peas you planted along the fence line of the new property are doing or did I miss that one day? Thanks! Deb
Yes! I've been wanting to see those too! Flourish OR Fail, show us those Sweet Peas! We'll prolly love you more if you've failed, so nothing to worry about there Laura!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
"I don't know everything there is to know about Foxgloves, but I've had really good luck with them." Laura, you have really good luck with pretty much everything in the garden. 🤣
Jean, you have to leave the ground alone. No cultivating, no mulch. Keep fall leaves off the area. They are too tiny to cope with being buried. They don't show up immediately in spring so be patient and keep the area watered if it doesn't rain.
Hi. When will you be collecting the seeds from these foxgloves? How do you collect them, know when they are ready to collect and then store them before planting in Feb? Thanks! 🌱💕
I know this sounds weird for some but growing from seed to mature plant is a window into the miracle of life, I feel like I am honoring Gods creations😊
I agree 🙏🏻
Amen
i feel the same way too

Wow that's a sweet memory💜
@@Bamboo4U2 thanks that's very interesting!!!😊 I believe ours originated from Austria though (way way back) & was originally spelled Fuchs - which btw just happens to mean Fox!😅🦊
Great memory but beware even the seeds are poisonous...so carrying them around in a pocket sounds scary
I keep waiting for conversation about peeling off the babies at the base that form off the MOTHER STALK.........I do that often and dip them in root stimulator and replant those with really good dirt.
It would be so so helpful to have a video showing how we can collect seeds from some of our flowering plants!
She did a video harvesting snap dragon seeds last year.

@@theirishmammy Thank you for the link, I must somehow have missed that video.
@@theirishmammy I think I skipped over this video, since I do not have any of those plants. I do have Foxgloves however.
Stop whining
A quote from Fern Gully..."All the magic of creation exists in a single tiny seed!"

I wanted to take a walk in your garden so badly while watching this🌸🌱 I’m inspired to to try seeds this winter inside💚
All the time!! If I were a neighbor, I'd offer work in her garden for free twice a week just so I could enjoy being in it!😊
I want to try the milk jug technique she did last year, with my seeds this year.
SAME!
Foxglove were the first plants I winter sowed and I had great success! They are the best for beginners!

Sorry i rambled as usual. Lonely person I am. I love those foxgloves but ever since i saw the veronica (i think) i was mesmerized. It is like they are glowing. Perfect for a moon garde i think. And of course i caught that tail go by. He truly photo bombs every video i love it.
Beautiful foxglove! ❤️❤️. I have enjoyed every one of your videos! During these difficult times, I find myself watching them over and over. I had Christmas in July with you just this past weekend. Watched all having anything Christmas in them. ❤️🎅🏼🎄. Lol, not that I want to push the season along at all, your videos just bring me a feeling of peace.
Yes, planting from seed makes you have a sense of accomplishment and it feels good. Gardening is really addictive:)
You should be proud, for starting these from seed and...everything else you do!
Totally agree about starting things from seeds. Isn't it inspiring!?!
Growing from seed, give you the vibe of a proud parent...I
I've it..just need to be patient and I love it
Dear Laura,
You always make my day when I watch your videos. You inspire me to plant pretty flowers. I enjoy seeing you and your mom interact and spend the day together. I notice you both have the same type of laugh... Thank you! Adrianne
Loved your foxglove video. I am trying to grow from seeds for the first time. I am quite excited about it.
Will you please show us in the future how to harvest the seeds? I’ve never had interest in these until I saw your beautiful garden.
THANKS SO MUCH I JUST GOT MINE IN THE GROUND FROM STARTS , FLOWERING ALREADY. CANT WAIT
I love Foxglove. I always had goodluck growing from seed. My mom always had problem thinning hers. Mine always came back. They always reseeded. I also had some that bloomed in the first year. Becareful growing around kids. They are digitalis.
Love all your info & inspiration. And I grew up like you. We knew to stay away from the yucky plants yet crunch away on the neighbor's rhubarb stalks while playing hide n seek. This is my first year to grow coleus from seed; I feel so proud of myself! Happy gardening Laura!
Hi, I have had huge success with fox glove, in partial shade, and cow manure. They grow taller than my hight, 5f 6"! I throw seeds down every spring for next year's bloom. I live in Norway, ME.
Had foxgloves growing up in PA (zone 5a). They survived harsh winters.... Our pets never seemed to bother them.
Really want to have them again.. wild & natural beauty to them
“Gucky “ - love that! We have 8 kids - not one has ever tried to eat my plants. Including our two youngest with Down syndrome. I know there’s always someone who will feel it’s not okay to grow these beauties but it is. And those peach colored blooms are DREAMY - especially in the evening light!
I just bought foxglove seeds!! Cant believe the wait time to see them bloom!!
You’re the best plant narrator ,,, I love watching your videos I feel like your talking to me directly.., like a one on one conversation, thanks
I use to be obsessed with makeup videos on TH-cam.....now I am obsessed with the plants because of you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 🌸🌸🌸🌺🌺🌺
Your color selections are really rubbing off on me! Love this color!
A bsolutley love foxgloves! I too have neber had an issue with my animals eatting them.
I grew them all along our front porch when we lived in North Carolina and they came back faithfully every year. Now I live in Pennsylvania and really need to plant them here so I can enjoy their beauty again. Thank you for the great tips on them!
Thank you for sharing your experience with foxgloves. They’re gorgeous!
When my kids were little and playing in the garden, they came to me to tell me the fuzzy peas were no good. I hadn’t planted peas. I asked them to show me. They were lupine seeds. Yes they are poisonous but they were sow nasty tasting they spit them out. Many poisonous plants taste very bad and bitter to tell us not to inject them.
Are they poisonous?
I have a bag of lupine flour in my pantry. Maybe bitter, but I'm pretty sure they're safe.
Like most veggies 😆
Kate Hillenbrand could be safe after processing just like raw almonds are dangerous and if you ate 5 raw (I think red kidney beans ? Forget which variety) it will coagulate your blood and you die
love to hear you talk about the garden God bless
@@tommywilliams5450 cryptic
have you heard of the ikea effect? its similar to you being proud of the seeds you grew - you invested the time in putting together furniture so you end up loving that furniture more.
I feel the same way when I have started by seed and watch it grow to this beautiful plant!:) I love the flower bed behind you! It's gorgeous!!!
Laura your gardens are so incredible. You so inspire me. Your channel is a blessing. Thank you!
My jaw literally dropped when I saw your beautiful flower grouping behind the chicken coup. Looking forward to hearing you discuss foxgloves because I haven't had good luck in Zone 5.
The colors in that area are beautiful. I will try this foxglovefoxglove-I have the perfect spot. I loved seeing the bird flying to the fountain!
I'm very much a novice at seeding but you make me think I can do it! I immediately went to the floret website and everything is sold out. How many of you went to the website?
They will restock a bit later in the year. They have to wait to harvest seeds, too! :)
Every nursery and seed house is sold out. It was a great year for them because of covid.
I just checked the website and they’re all in stock. Happy Gardening ya’ll!
🤣
It can't be as much of a pain in the ass as lupin seeds. Such a thorn for me this year
I saw this video last summer and decided that THAT was a most have flower! I’ve never really thought foxglove was something special, never grew them or bought them. So this spring I got hold of 15 seeds (really expensive) and gosh what I’ve enjoyed them! 😍 I’ve harvested seeds like crazy because I move 1 October and have the opportunity to have a nice big garden that’s a clean slate, I can decide and make all flowerbeds just as I like them. And your flower beds around the chicken coop is my inspiration! So many good ideas I’ve got from them that I’ll replicate and add things I like.
So thank you for sharing all your expertise and positive energy. I think all of us followers get out right after seeing your videos and planning in our own garden!
Thank you! Can you do a similar similar video on holly Hock’s? This was so helpful.
I agree a video like this on hollyhocks would be very helpful as well as harvesting the seeds from hollyhock.
@@kristineb.1405 i think collecting the seeds of hollyhock is easy. The seeds are in like that round
Packet thingy. I wait untill they dry out. Sometimes the upper plant is still flowering, but its easy to pick that round seed thingy. Lol im gusessing hollyhock in israel are like yours. I soak the seeds before planting, and make seedlings i care for untill our rainy season.
conniekeshet Thank you for the information. Very helpful ... I will watch for the seed thingy 🙂!
Foxglove has always been one of my fav flowers but I've only just started growing it (from seedling). Such a timely video for me! So good as always 💖💖💖
Laura this was a fabulous video! I learned so much about foxgloves- thank you!
I started celosia a couple of weeks ago in a pot on my deck and the plants are ready to set out in the garden.
Thank you for sharing all of the info on foxglove, yours are beautiful
Foxglove is one of my favs. Thank you for all the info on there needs and for the links. QUESTION; COULD YOU GUYS DO A DRONE WALK THROUGH OF YOU GARDENS/?
OH THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!!!!
Hi Laura!! Those are really pretty flowers! You did a great job growing them from seed Congrats! I wish I had the room, and garden area, to do something like that. Than you for sharing!
we grew up next to lake michigan and were taught to have a a healthy respect for it. And we were taught about the woods and what was safe and what wasn't. I found that with plants for my kids as well.
Love the color! The purple petunias are looking great.
I agree, you win some you lose some, and you are always learning, and growing from seed, amazing feeling.
I had foxglove pop up out of nowhere this year! After watching your success with starting them from seed I’m going to collect some seed and give it a try for next year😊
Laura my daughters have always been those kids that pick flowers and eat them. Smh Your right ita a process of teaching them what's safe to pick and not to pick.
Love the video!
Beautiful. I got conned at the greenhouse with a blooming foxglove and thankfully it spread seed. Great spring surprise 😊
Very interesting. Thank you for the great information. I have only tried them once as my gardens are mostly shade. They did okay but did not reseed themselves. I might try them from seed next year. Love floret too!
Laura, the foxgloves are gorgeous AND rewarding! It’s good to see each other’s successes and failures because we learn from both.
Is it possible to see how the sweet-peas you planted along the fence line of the new property are doing or did I miss that one day? Thanks! Deb
Yes! I've been wanting to see those too!
Flourish OR Fail, show us those Sweet Peas!
We'll prolly love you more if you've failed, so nothing to worry about there Laura!!! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
"I don't know everything there is to know about Foxgloves, but I've had really good luck with them." Laura, you have really good luck with pretty much everything in the garden. 🤣
Oh, my favorite flower! Thank you for this.
Great job explaining the stats of this beautiful flower
So pretty... it looks like they would ‘ring like a bell’ in the wind🧡
Foxgloves are so beautiful but I haven’t had luck with them reseeding. Yours are gorgeous Laura❤️😊❤️
Jean, you have to leave the ground alone. No cultivating, no mulch. Keep fall leaves off the area. They are too tiny to cope with being buried. They don't show up immediately in spring so be patient and keep the area watered if it doesn't rain.
Hi. When will you be collecting the seeds from these foxgloves? How do you collect them, know when they are ready to collect and then store them before planting in Feb? Thanks! 🌱💕
