Hi Becky, just a little FYI, Eucalyptus is Toxic to dogs (and humans) if ingested, but also can be an allergen to some dogs. So if your dogs are sneezing, rubbing their snout or scratching when you bring Eucalyptus inside the house, you know they are allergic to it. If you suffer from Asthma, Eucalyptus can also be a trigger for your Asthma. Best also kept away from young children.

My husband passed away unexpectedly on September 10th 2023 and I didnt want to do anything when it came to my gardening. I stopped watching youtube and T.V because everything reminded me of him.

With johnnys and other seed companies that dont have pictures on their seed packets, i save my catalogs and cut out the pictures. Then i staple each cut out on the seeds that i ordered. This helps so much when i am planting directly outside. It takes a bit of time and planning, but when i am planting, i dont have to look on my phone.
@Eucis93 5 ай бұрын
Another way to do it (if you’re like me and don’t have a printer 😅) is to number each seed packet, download the photos and add the corresponding numbers of the seed packets. On a computer, you can edit the file names to numbers, on a phone or tablet you can edit a number onto the photo itself or add them into your notes app.

Becky, I remember my mom, who was a master gardener, cold stratify her seeds by collecting them and placing them in the freezer until the next planting season. Just like you collected seeds at the end of the year last year, she would do the same and the ones that needed to be frozen, she would bag them, label them, and put them in the freezer. I actually still have seeds from her garden to this day over 50 years old.

Becky- one thing that helped me get organized this year is organizing seeds in my containers based on start date. I have the same containers as you - so instead of organizing the seeds by type I wrote a date on the boxes and found all the seeds I needed to start at 8 weeks out, 6 weeks out, 4 weeks out etc. So helpful to be able to just grab the box and know everything I’m starting that day….

I do this too. I keep them organized alphabetically all year, until I plan my garden, (and order my seeds for tue next year) and then when it's almost seed starting season, I put them in order of sowing date! And then at the end of the season, I put back n alphabetical order.

I remember as a child passing this man's garden in a town close to mine. Every year, he had the most beautiful garden that I have ever seen. On the side of his house, he had a spot where he started some seedlings. He had built into the ground the mini hothouses for them....they were built with landscape timbers on a slant, the back higher than the front I assume situated to get the best sun and he had old windows on a hinge to allow light and ease of planting and then transferring to his garden. I thought that was pretty innovative and a great idea so as to not spend a fortune in a hot house. He must have had about 6 or 8 of these mini hothouses. I guess the old guy has passed on now and his beautiful garden is no longer, but what a beauty it was....year after year.

Some of the flowers and herbs you've selected are either freely self seeding and/ or more along the lines of biennial/ perennial. Do consider seeding and tending some of these in your raised beds but digging a hole off to the edge of some of your wooded boundary lines for transplanting just the fall rains come. Optionally ammend the holes to get the worms and soil organisms going before the fall rains; you will have returns if you water those holes of dirt once every 7 to 14 days. Transplant and let nature take over. Some will make it, many will not. Mark your holes for use the next year and prepare yourself for weeding more than hole digging. Oddly enough, consider doing this with 3 onion or garlic types spaced 6" apart per hole. Often onion types will continue well enough to put up a flower even though the bulbs themselve are in bad shape. Bees love flowering onions.

Not sure if anyone else has said this but some Rudbeckia are short lived and act as an annual but most are perennials. Early fall is a great time to plant these but giving them a cold stratification works too. Also, the seeds need light to germinate so they can't be covered too heavily with soil. In fact, covering them with vermiculite is best. Also, Iceland poppy, which are the seeds you have can be a short lived perennial that is sometimes treated as an biennial.

Last year was a very sad and frustrating attempt to grow tomatoes, herbs, potatoes, carrots, beets etc. What we did harvest, was barely enough for a meal, or two cups of tea. I refuse to give up and know that in previous years, I was successful in growing wonderful herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers and even zucchini. Thank you for inspiring me to do more research for my zone. Like you mentioned, seed packets don't mention things like cold stratification or so many other things needed for successful results. Looking forward to seeing your continued journey for your 2024 growing season.

Becky, Something to consider is some of your flowers are considered "cool flowers" Lisa Mason Ziegler has a ton of info on them. Cool flowers can be planted out 6-8 weeks before your last frost meaning if the packet says start them 6-8 weeks before planting out then they should be started indoors 12-16 weeks before your last frost. The gardeners workshop (Lisa Mason Ziegler's) website has cool flowers grouped together for easy reference. I listened to her podcast today answering questions about cool flowers. It is a great resource. This will be your best garden yet! Good luck!

When it's time to plant, I take out the seeds I need and put the rest of the package back in storage for next year. It doesn't hurt the remaining seeds to be in the frig. It saves time from having to put seeds in paper towels and labeling them.

I love to learn. Knew things. For planting I learn a lot every year. I like to say not a mistake. It's a learning experience. I plan on doing more flower this year.

I love your videos. I’m getting 2 green stalks so I can at least plant herbs and flowers. Don’t have the room to have large crops anymore…sadly. But I’ll do what I can do. I do have numerous farmers markets around me so I do get tons of fresh veggies all summer and fall. I use those to can up for preserving

Becky consider planting your lemongrass in one specific area because it can overtake an area. I wish I would have planted ours in some pot other than one of my beds.
@Andrea-si2vs 5 ай бұрын
In our area, lemongrass is not perennial, so if planted in a bed, it should die in the winter and need to be started from seed again the next year. That said, she can overwinter them year to year if left in a container and provided some protection over the winter.

I grew peanuts for the first time in 2023. Just so you are aware, it takes A LOT of peanuts to make peanut butter! Also, peanuts need lots of soil space to spread the “vines” that grow and produce the peanuts. Happy peanut growing!😊💚 🥜

Quick start on celery ? Take the celery you buy from the store cut off the whole base,abt inch or inch and 1/2, plant it !! Leave the top exposed it will grow no seed needed and faster. You can do this with just about anything lettuce cabbage green onions . Califlower,leeks broccoli 👍it's miraculous !!!!! ❤
