    Your videos are always amazing, but I keep coming back to this one as my favourite. I just showed it to my wife, and all I heard was 24 minutes of "Wow!" and "Que Hermosura!" and "Divinura". :-)

    Two years ago, I had so many strawflowers in my garden & I fall in love with them from then. I will dry lots of them this summer too so I can make X'mas decorations. I love this idea and the wreath you made is so beautiful.

    Extremely popular in Poland and Eastern Europe, connected with folklore and harvest season, and for decoration around homes. My mum gave me few times plenty of seeds, none of them grow them here ( Scotland) and I never seen them here at all. I hoping to try one more time perhaps in more sunny area. Beautiful little plants!

    Excellent! Love what you do with your blooms. This is my second season growing everlastings. Last year I picked them too late. Today I picked them before watching a program on doing it correctly. I watched 3 other 'tutorials' that were not very good. Thank you so much for making this. And love your baubles... what a gorgeous idea!

    Thank you so much for this! ❤️ Strawflowers are my favorites as well! I honestly think they don't get as much love as they definitely deserve. They're mostly just called Everlasting here in the Philippines. People here don't know what you're talking about if you use the term Strawflowers. I've received countless odd looks when I call them that. 😄

It was quite inspiring and easy enough with very few materials. Perfect for gifts with the beautiful flowers from my garden. Thank you so much!

    I'd love to see a tool review oneday on all your kit you use and any maintenance you do to them. But I doubt many others will! Those yellow handled snips looked really nice. Thank you for a brilliant video tutorial

  • @catherinebushill5129
    @catherinebushill5129 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a sunny spot in my garden, but there’s a large conifer in the garden next door, so very very dry soil. Do you think straw flowers would grow there? We’re struggling to know what to do with that corner!
    Loving your videos, I’m a complete novice really enjoying my garden and dreaming of an allotment in the future! Just saw on one of your other videos you’re also in Nottingham, so useful to know you have the same sort of weather for planting out guidance etc! ☺️

    Great video, thanks for all your work producing it. I like the idea of growing it for beneficial insects, but those seeds give me dandelion nightmares. Does it self -seed much around your plot?

    • @homegrowngarden
      @homegrowngarden  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Bev, thank you for watching! It's the first time I have grown it on my allotment but I previously grew it where I work. I'm not giving the plants much of a chance to self seed at the moment because I'm cutting them so regularly but even if they did self seed (which they did at work) they only really popped up where they grew before and didn't seem to spread anywhere else. It's highly unlikely that they would ever become a nuisance plant, if they do pop up where you don't want them they're easy enough to pull out, unlike dandelions. Hope this helps!
