I know!! Once it warms up everything wants to pop up and enjoy.

Thanks so much 😊I welcome any suggestions or inspiration.

You are so welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it. I love to share my gardens.

Thank you, it is a riot of color for certain, right now!

Thank you, I am really trying things that are super easy to grow and take care of themselves in my conditions. Though I will always include annuals for fun.

It sure is, very messy but natural.

Thank you so much for coming along!

They have gone rampant haven't they.

Yes, my ladies eggs and my homemade sourdough bread. It was a treat.

Wow, sounds great. Some in the beds I will chop back and see what happens but the pathway ones will get booted.

I am rethinking what I start early as well. Some things I did not have time to get potted up or in the ground and are suffering, which means they may not recover so it wasn't worth it in the long run. Though I do enjoy it in the depths of winter. Maybe next year I will take a cruise to the Bahamas instead (wishful thinking)

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse well, maybe somewhere other than Bahamas if Russia is moving into Cuba. But I know, these winters we need to keep our spirits up. I just planted the last of sea holly in an area near back field. It was being taken over by nettles and thistles-not something I care to look at-just put a temp fence around most of it from recycled fencing as I see the deer have visited. It should keep them at bay. Sprinkled blood meal around to keep rabbits out. I still have some annuals and a few veg to get out. Trying to get the heavy work done and mulching as we are heading into 90s. I thought we could use up some older seed I collected from last couple years and I could use only half 😅 of what I had and it looks like a chia pet with all the zinnias and sunflowers 🌻. I did this in a small area a couple years ago and it was so beautiful especially when the evening sun hit it. Love the bright lights cosmos with sunflowers. This area is about 25x30’ and will need to monitor nettles. I loved all the rain and we are out of drought but Man the mosquitoes like we’ve never had before-can’t handle it! Zapper went up today as well as the Japanese beetle traps. I’m dumping anything I find with water and covering rain tanks and cleaned birdbaths. They are hatching from somewhere. Let’s hope it’s just a first hatch and they are done.

I am so loving it right now!

If you have plants growing they will bloom next year, there are some varieties that do bloom the first year but many will not until the second. But they do reseed readily, and I let them, you will have them every year. You can leave the orginal and see what it does, I have had the rebloom the second year. The apricot ones by the back fence bloomed last year, though not much, then bloomed even better this year. With all the cross breeding they do it is hard to say what will happen. I space my tomatoes about 3 feet apart. In the Bespoke Greenhouse they are a little closer and I do prune them a little. The ones outside are 3 feet apart and yes I do use cages, it just works best for me.

Yes, and I have a video of one of my visits. It is about a 3 hour drive but it is no too far from Filoli where I also love to visit. My husband and I have been talking about making another weekend trip down that way again soon.

I looked around too and though I know I included it in a video it wasn't in the title. I think it was part of one of the updates or tours, which was dumb as now I can't find it either, but here is the blog post with a couple photos of the seeds and some instructions. www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/grow-geraniums-from-seed-pelargoniums/ I hope this helps.

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Yeah I was pretty sure u showed that too. Thank you I will check out the blog you sent 😊👍
