    Laura why are you always doubting if people are gonna watch your longer videos until the end? You are an amazing speaker and besides the editing in your videos is so put together and perfect! I live watching both your short and long videos. It is entertaining and super informative at the same time. Loved this one. Thank you so much for the tips

    Bought a lavender plant shaped like a Christmas tree for the holiday season to take to my daughters.
    ...forgot it, gone 10 days, left in middle of table no light on or window light within 3 ft., heat set at 60. Expected to come home and it would be dead or at least unsalvageable. Nope! Sporting new and abundant growth. Some plants....just want to live.... I'm 66 and still learning. Love your informational and charming videos. Going back and watching earlier ones. Great way to spend gloomy winter days! Thank you!

    oddly enough, i usually cut open a teabag and empty its contents on the plant and they seem to take off with it. I do it once every couple of months. I keep my used teabags on the side to dry out completely before i add them to the soil of the plant then water it in. I've done it with herbs, orchids, spider plants and succulents to great success. I find black tea bags work best where as green tea bags don't seem to work as well.

    Don't worry about the length of your videos! Cover what you need to cover and they're perfect. I'm so glad I found your channel! Forty years ago I had a 1/4 acre garden on a farm in NW Iowa and I thought I was Lady Greenfingers -- in recent years I've been struggling with my yard - haven't even had enough success to try a garden - and now I think it was because of the soil in that location - you could stick a pencil in the ground and it would grow. But now I'm also in Zone 5 so I'm hoping I can learn from all of your good advice. Thanks for these great videos!

    It's better to slightly underwater than to overwater. Overwatering can cause the seeds or the roots to rot. And yes, always a good idea to check the soil.

    oregano is so delicious. you hit the nail on the head. i have some oregano in my backyard, south-facing near a bayou. It gets incredible airflow & it's thriving! I also have it in a fabric pot. I have to water the 2 gallon pot every 2-3 days in the spring here in louisiana USDA zone 8b.

    I had sage growing outside like weeds in my gardens when I lived in the Puyallup WA area. Then in the Chicago area I had mint in one bed which got full and abundant. Also had lavender in several gardens there and both mint and lavender survived winter snow like troopers.

I have been homeless for the past 16 years and soon will be moving into a mobile home on half an acre. I miss my gardens. I even miss my compost pile. I am excited to be able to garden again and your videos give me the confidence to try again. Thank you so very much.

Just to have them thrive in my apt. Now have the proper tips to maintain. Thanks so much. Also can you make a video on how to grow cut flowers indoors during the winter. I live in an apartment with a balcony. I love fresh flowers and would like to grow them indoors when the gets cold.

    • @monicashuford5602
      @monicashuford5602 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Sam Greenslyfox me either. I found a tip for lavender that I have never heard of. When you are starting your seeds put them in seed cells about 5 seeds per cell then put the pots in a sealed pastiche bag or plant them in a container with a lid and place it in the fridge for 5 to 10 days. Then bring them out and leave them til they are ready to go in their permanent home. I'm not sure if this works I read it on several different blogs and if u watch the rustic garden dude he say you have to chill lavender seeds to trick them into thinking to its timw to grow. I'm trying it this year juat put my plants in my fridge tonight.

    Thanks Laura! Of course I will watch until the end! It's always good information!
    About Dill, I never had luck with it when I planted it where I wanted. When I threw the seeds in the garden carelessly, I had a lot of it....remember it's called dill weed? I even had dill in the grass are. Also if you want it bushy pinch the flowers so the plant can concentrate in giving you leafs. Towards the end of the season let it flower collect some seed and dry the rest to use it on pickling cabage, cucumbers. ...and other vegetables.

    @51rwyatt 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Totally agree about rosemary. I've never seen a guide that doesn't say to let them completely dry out before watering, but I've only had success keeping them moist and not letting them get to that dry stage. When mine go dry they take weeks to recover.

    I tried parsley and cilantro from seed and they both lasted least than 2 weeks after germination. I think I need grow lights cause my south facing window is small and may be shaded during part of the day. Part of my 'gardening resolutions' for 2018 for not giving up after one attempt.

    I grow oregano outside in zone 6. Iv had the same plant come back every year for 6 years. Lavender died after just 3 summers. Iv heard that yearly wetness can be a factor, but it seems to me they just dont live more than a few years for most people. Oh and I always use lawn soil for potted plants, and they thrive. I am not paying someone 5-6 dollars for dirt when its literally under my feet lol. If it gets heavy after a few waterings I just break up the soil a bit with food skewers around the rootball.

    I always use herbs in my cooking but never grew them myself. I'd love to try in the future. I'm just wondering why no one has developed an easier lavender plant to grow. Maybe you could address this plant more in one of your other videos for those of us who are new to growing indoor edible plants. I've always loved lavender and maybe you could demystify this plant for us. Love love your vids gets me through our long Canadian winters. Right now it's the end of March and it's snowing!

    I made it to the end no problem 😀 I love listening to your tips and ideas.
    Do you know anything about the Jade vine?

    Thank you for all those tips. Makes sense now why they were not growing. I was wondering a few months ago and talking to my husband I mention to him I don’t think I have a green thumb for any plant. I always end up killing them 😞 but now I know what I was doing wrong. Thank you once again.

    That's interesting. I have a pot of tarragon in my kitchen window that grows really vigorously, without me having to do much of anything to it.

    I'm starting from seed. I figure it will be a good project for my daughters during these times. Thanks for the info.

    Here in Manitoba Canada most of us throw some dill seed on the garden. Then when we weed make sure we don't pull up the dill it reseeds itself .

    Though I am not new to taking care of plants, your advice for basil reminded me of what I need to do with my own as it is not looking good, though I just bought it 2 weeks ago. So now I know several steps I need to take to keep it growing healthy all winter long. Thanks for the tips.

    Laura... with dill you could throw it on your gravel driveway and it will grow... it will grow anywhere .. my parents grow dill for pickling and also use fresh dill chopped on baby potatoes... soooo good

    I admire your basil but I have no luck with mine, I am ok with thyme, Parsley and celantro (coriander in Australia) and chives

    Have you tried the Aerogarden? I received one for Christmas and I now have fresh Basil Dill and some other herbs.

    I did make it to the end of the video! I always grow something inside for the long Northern Michigan winter months. Mostly herbs and soon a few starter tomato plants. I’m always interested in tip and what works for others! I don’t normally feed my plants during the winter. I am going to give that a try and see what happens! Thanks Laura!

    I chose your video because it was long. I know I need LOTS of help and instruction on this topic and just skipped those that were shorter 😉. But I thought listing the times of various topics at the beginning was very useful. Thanks for the help! 🌱 🙏 ☀️ 💧

    God Bless you for creating that index in the beginning. I skip through videos as a rule, but since you added the guide, I realized that I wanted to hear about everything you had on the list!
    But most importantly, if I didn’t want to, you gave me that option as well. *instantly subscribes*
