Hey laura and aaron.. i’m a doctor from india who loves to garden in spare time. Before i found your channel i was mainly interested in houseplants. But when I discovered your channel through your vegetable garden tour, my whole perspective changed. I now have a flourishing vegetable garden with many flowers in my terrace. And buying seeds for the next season has never been so fun. Thank you so much for all that you do❤️

I have perennial mountain mint in my garden, Laura you’re going to LOVE it. It is ALWAYS covered in the most beautiful array of pollinators. For me it draws butterflies, swallowtail and monarch, several kinds of bumble bees, humming bird moths, and the most gorgeous iridescent wasps (friendly) I have every seen. I wish I could post a photo. It has precious disc like flowers and it holds its height through the winter. You can smell it as you walk by in the summer without having to brush up on it and it holds itself in a vase for weeks. It doesn’t seem to spread as wildly for me as regular mint and it’s easy to just cut back a big bunch to control it.

Laura, there is an amazing plant I’ve never seen you discuss, Lemon Verbena , I grow it here in Komoka Ontario Canada, zone 6 and it smells heavenly, I grow it in a large pot as it gets quite large , as an annual. Would be a plant to consider for “ the Hartley” as you brush by it it smells so lemony and not an obnoxious lemon smell, check it out!

@dlsdyer9071 2 жыл бұрын

Beckie, we grow it each year to make a winter tisane comprised of dried lemon grass, lemon verbena, lemon thyme and dried orange peel. Sometimes we add organic black tea. We keep this in an airtight container in the frig. When feeling like we may be coming down with something we brew it up with fresh ginger and honey. Since this has dried lemon grass, it is best to put 1-2T in a twist tied coffee filter (shot of whiskey optional).

This will be my 3rd year winter sowing & I love it!!! I usually plant anywhere from 30-40+ jugs. We are in planting zone 4b, as a precaution due to weather I’ve learned to put a marker on the inside of each jug just in case the weather fades my outer labels. I’ve used all various sorts of containers but my best results have been with the milk/water jugs as they hold more soil & moisture. I usually do multiple plantings according to the cold tolerance of each seed type. My favorite is to plant lavender this way & many of my flowers like Daisys, Scabiosa, Snapdragons, Flowering Kale which I start in Feb. I start all my cabbage family plants this way too. The less hardy seeds like tomatoes, peppers, squash etc. I put out in March. I was skeptical too the first year but I’ve always had good results & this method saves me a ton of space & time.In our area because we get allot of moisture I do sprinkle cinnamon on top of the soil in each container to control fungus plus good drain holes in the bottom are essential. I use a plastic drill bit to create my holes or a hot screw driver will easily melt holes for drainage. Thank you for keeping us inspired, I always learn something new or get creative ideas from your show❣️

I found GA this time last year and have enjoyed it much. As I watched you do winter sowing I never considered doing it, but I saw the milkweed you were sowing and changed my mind. I loved your beautiful butterfly garden last summer and my 9 year old grandson decided we most definitely should try that this year! So I will surprise him with the WS of the milkweed (He spends his summers with us in Zone 6 b) and maybe some other plants I can find for the garden. Thanks Laura.

I wish you guys had a watering guidebook. This is my downfall. I over water under water and kill lots of plants. I know it is a huge gray area with all the variables, but golly! I need a ball park guide to all species indoor and outdoor. I am always a nervous wreck about watering and sure enough I manage to usually kill my poor plants. Thank you for the joy you bring me each morning😊

I love that you are using baker creek seeds! I live very close to the original baker creek ! Thanks for the Info! I have been garden for over 50 years…

I love using this method. I have had very good luck with it. I have been afraid to put any in yet because it has been so unusually warm and dry here in North Carolina. Hopefully I will get some started soon. Thanks Laura!

I did this with my grandkids last January and they really enjoyed it and checking them to see when they started to grow. I am planning to do this again this year and will get going in day or so. Good morning everyone and happy sowing.

Thank you for doing a seed starting video with winter sowing again. I just wasn’t quite ready to try it last year, but now I am really excited to try it this year! It looks so easy, it looks almost fool proof! Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thank you so much Laura for all that you do!

Thank you for talking about Verbascum. I bought seedlings from an herb farmer last year. They were beautiful. I dried the seeds and am going to try growing them. Thank you for the encouragement.

Ah Laura, I couldn't help but giggle at you looking at those seeds. Your excitement is contagious, I can't wait for this year too!

We in western WA are thrilled to be done with our week of snow. Glad snow makes you happy. Now we can watch our bulbs come up.

I spent yesterday going through drawers and organizing, last night going through all the notes I’ve taken while watching GA and other webinars. Now I need to organize my seeds from last year and order more. You definitely have influenced me to be more organized and excited about the new growing season when I need it the most. Thanks for the inspiration 😊

Hi Laura, I watch these winter sowing videos every year and still haven’t tried it, but I’ve remembered I have a lot of beautiful poppy seeds I didn’t get around to sowing last year, so I’m going to save all my milk jugs from now on and definitely give it a try this time round. Your snow looks beautiful ❄️

Hi Laura, I was so happy to see you starting the seeds. It was a good reminder to get my seeding started. I was pleasantly surprised to see you planting milkweed. It is so important to do our part for the Monarch Butterfly population. Happy 😃 planting 2022!

Thank you so much for doing these winter sewing videos! I love that you have shown us this a couple years in a row. I really hope to try this method this year. I would have never been confident enough to try this in the past, but with your insights that you share I think I can do this! Thanks so much.

I love the winter sowing method. It really gave me a headstart on my zinnias and snapdragons. Those spoon tomatoes are especially prolific. Be prepared for hundreds of volunteers :)

Perfect timing as I finished my spreadsheet (thanks Laura)! And began to save jugs. Now to winter sow seeds for my 1st time ever! I'm excited and praying for success! Also got snow and freezing temps here in Santa Fe NM.
