    Russell is too funny. he needs to be by your side every step of the day. Laura, the greenhouse is looking great, I can't wait to see all the amazing planting you are going to do in the short weeks ahead. 💐🌻🌱

    It’s really so pretty when you didn’t cram everything in and you left room between the plants to see their full beauty. The black rocks were lovely addition.

    It makes me happy when you said. “I’m not starting any pepper or tomatoes this year cuz I don’t wanna”. Yes!!! Normalize doing exactly what you want, always!!!

  • @asaliden4584
    @asaliden4584 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    I always start my sweet peas in inner roll of toilet paper pacer in a plastic container with drain holes. I have regular potting mix in the bottom and seed starting mix on top and I’m that way I can keep them in containers until I can plant them outside. But what I discovered this spring is that I have self seeded sweat peas over wintering in my flower bed!

    ☕️Good day Laura and GA friends. I’m an apartment dweller so no longer enjoy a garden space, so I am very thankful to Laura for all she does to show houseplants and succulents. This is so fun, and the bowl adds a beautiful memory. I hope you all have a wonderful start to a new week. 🌷🌸🌱

    I’m too big of a “helicopter waterer” that I kill all my succulents and cactus. I am so envious of that gorgeous semp planter! We just got another 8-ish inches of snow last night here in norther Utah. I am so over it this year! We’re almost in April and have gotten more snow than I ever remember in 46years! I love watching your videos, they give so much sunshine to our continuous freezing snowy days here. Thank you for sharing your sunshine with all of us!

    • @jhowardsupporter
      @jhowardsupporter ปีที่แล้ว

      Sempervivum would lover a helicopter waterer. I won't share the truth about their growing conditions because they run wild. They'll die if you water them like that the whole year but where they come from has a wet season.

    It's not just any cats, Laura, it's these orange tabby cats! I have had spinach growing under a row cover all winter. Today my big orange tabby, Thomas O'Malley, decided to jump on top! Of course he tore a huge hole in the frost blanket and made a mess of things. He's always needy and wanting me to pet him when I'm trying to get work done in the garden. I have two other cats (not orange), but the orange one is always the troublemaker! 😼😼😼

    These succulents are giving me ideas for a rock garden! I had one years ago and they all died off due to the tree near them growing. That tree was just cut down and I have beautiful rocks so I can rebuild the garden!

    Well, Laura, I have to tell you; I have some property I will one day be landscaping and gardening in -which is all new to me. And I’ve been watching you for over a year now. It’s so nice to absorb your information to help me with something so new, and so huge and so complicated! I wanted to point out this would’ve been quite the chore if it hadn’t been for you because all the other garden channels are just not my cup of tea. I guess I just am saying I’ve enjoyed hanging out with you.

    @pollytiks3885 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love 💚 the arrangement and the containers you used today, especially your grand-dad’s bowl!! I mix my potting and cactus soils together too, with coarse sand and perlite, and then top the container with pebbles or sea glass that I get at the dollar store.

    I love sempervivums! I live in Philadelphia, zone 7a. I have them throughout my garden. They do great here, I haven’t lost any in the winter.
    I’ve purchased many succulents and cacti from Mountain Crest. They are a great company and I’ve always received perfect cuttings or plants.
    All the arrangements were so pretty.
    I love cyclomen (sp?). They are so unique looking. I love the delicate petals.
    Our weather right now is so nice. So many of my perennials are showing their signs of life! I love spring!
    Have a great day everyone!

    You don't have to soak sweetpeas seeds. About 15 years ago I did an experiment where I soaked 1/2 of a pkt and not the other half. They germinated within 2 days of each other and both did equally great. I do love the root trainers from GS. This will be 2nd year using those for me.
