With the warm weather that we have been having lately, the farm has begun to explode! Thousands of daffodils are blooming and the tulips are only days away from harvest. The perennials are beginning to wake up. And it won't be long before the farmstand is open for sales again. Join me for a tour of the farm in April.

To stagger your crate glads, keep some in garage. Watering is what stimulates growth. I planted out my first 200 today. :)

I am on the other side of the globe in Pretoria, South Africa. Looking fotward to more videos. I guessed you were busy preparing for spring.

Yes, the BC weather has been bizarre, up, down, foggy, clear and warm, the back to freezing then a big dump of snow, and rainy days. Mother nature is having tantrums. I didn't realize a few of the flowers are perennials, so now I have a stronger incentive to plant mine out. Take care you two, fire season has already started in some areas. 😲

Yay! Love the Peonies. Favoutire flower of mine. My family does grow glads also and they do not overwinter either. We just dig them up during the autumn, cut the stalks and take the small seeds for the "kindergarten" (they grow, they are just not as big the first year) off of the main bulb and store them in a dry and dark place. And then you just plant them as usual in the spring. It is not as much of a job, especially since you grow them in crates.

Weeee its spring! Well, we are getting ready for summer down here in central Cali. It's supposed to be in the low 80s all week. I planted ranunculus late. Costco had them for sale in February and I just couldn't walk away empty handed. Oh well... maybe they will multiply and I will have more to plant again in the fall!! Fingers crossed! 😅😅 I've missed you guys. I've been binging all your old videos. ❤ cheers to a great start of the 2024 season!!! 🎉🎉

Feverfew was never a perennial for me in Zone 5b Easter Colorado or Zone 6a NW KS. It was a biennial for us - leaves the first year, blooms the send year, and the mother plant died at that point, but as long as I let some go to seed, I always had some.

Everything is looking so good! The Peony field is going to be amazing. Just planted out my lisianthus for the final year; I've decided not to deal with the hassle of growing them from seed anymore. Just a home gardener, so would be nice to see plugs/pots of them available at local farms and nurseries. Side note, I absolutely love your content, but get so bummed out when I want to watch your live feed and don't have the time, as they tend to run over an hour. Shorter Live feeds would be awesome, and you would probably get more views after the live feed airs (that's a good thing!). BTW, nice to see you back!

@iuliachiciudean3376 2 ай бұрын

Hi Serina. I have a question about growing yarrow in the fabric: Is it ok? Or is it best to grow it without the landscape fabric? I am asking because I planned a pink yarrow in the fabric last year and this spring almost all my plants "moved". They sprouted next to the fabric opening, under the fabric. If I wouldn't have paid attention, I would have lost all of them. Is this normal? Thanks

@emandeli1585 2 ай бұрын

I wouldn't plant yarrow in fabric at all as it does spread, slowly but needs some room to expand. They start quite small like little leafy offshoots, and anything hindering the growth will end up sort of wonky. That said, it is pretty resilient and I move mine all the time haha
