I was able to get them to germinate with cold stratification and without. However my cold stratified batch germinated faster and more consistently, and I had more of my cold stratified seedlings survive! The cold strat period is short, can even be as little as 10-14 days. In my opinion, it's worth the extra step!

thank you for watching!

That's always the hard part, we know the plants we want but it's so hard to find them!! That's what inspired us to start the native plant nursery up here in Northern Michigan, give our locals the chance to find the native plants they love.

Thank you for watching! I hope you find the right ones to fill in your space :)

I’ve definitely heard people share similar views on spiderwort, and it does spread easily! Some people are looking for this type of growth to fill out a large area. I personally like the look of its foliage even after blooming. But I know everyone has their own preferences

@@BrightLaneGardens it just looks so ratty. I'd rather have the anemone. 😁

No problem! I hope you find success!

Crazy right?!

That's a great idea, I do feel like I disturb the seeds when I need to check for germination. I'll try this out next time!

Hahah I appreciate the shoutout for the intro- I’ve been trying to get a little more creative with the videos! We’re so fortunate to have acreage up here, we’re further out from any main town but totally worth it for extra land and privacy. We’re sharing in the toasty weather, it hit 87 today! I was worried the metal raised beds would scorch the plants, but they’ve done a good job with managing the heat! Fortunately cooler temps ahead next week. Thanks for tuning in!

@BrightLaneGardens I like the silly style intro you made 😊 Yeah same I also worry the beds will get ridiculously hot! Here it was somewhere above 90-95 American degrees so yeah we definitely share the heat specially with "very high UV" today oof... 🥵 I need to add more shade cloth too and unfortunately had some rascals dig up all my tomato plants but my peppers are fine still sucks though 😭

Thank you for watching!!

@@BrightLaneGardens My hostas were beautiful once but the white tailed deer think they are their candy.

I was sooo hesitant to do the weed fabric at the bottom! I like to let nature do its thing when it comes to soil health. But with the investment in the mulched area we really wanted to keep everything tidy. I am hoping a few insects were already living in the debris that will come out to play :) I was BLOWN AWAY by how much material it took to fill these! I had 5 of the deep ones and 2 shallow ones. So many wagon trips! At least we only have to do this once, right?

My husband said the same thing, he has worked with rockwool in building projects and always wore protection. I never have with the cubes (ignorance at first, then just doing the usual process) but I am fortunate to have never broken out on my skin! I’m always (always) careful about what I inhale when working with plants. Perlite, potting soil, fertilizer etc can all have adverse effects when inhaled. Moisture is your friend in this case! The wet rockwool cubes will not release debris into the air, at least significantly less than dry material. But plenty of people use full protection with this material and that’s the best approach when it comes to safety! Follow me for my gardening tips, but probably not my safety tips 😉

Thank you! Cheers!

No problem! I hope it turns out well, so cool to be able to grow plants like this!

Dang that’s a great deal, scoop ‘em up!

Yes! Most herbaceous perennials can be propagated with cuttings. Take 4-5” cuttings, remove the bottom 2/3 of leaves, dip in a rooting hormone and put into potting soil! Expect around a 50% success rate, so take a lot of cuttings :)

Thank you so much for watching!

I hope it works for you!

@@BrightLaneGardens thank you

Thanks so much for watching! I hope these are good additions for your yard

Great question! To be honest vegega got me with their Instagram ads! I liked the look of them and I had only worked with heavy cedar raised beds in the past, so I just thought the thinner, sleek design would be a good change for my new garden area. I noticed there were some very similar competitors but I ordered through the one ad. Overall I was actually pretty impressed with the quality!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

Some days I definitely feel like that... I think oftentimes our well water just varies with the amount of softener and the season too.

Many more coming up! We run a native plant nursery as well so video production slows down a bit in spring/early summer, but we're just about finished at the nursery so I have quite a few videos planned in the next few months. Thank you for watcing!

Thank you! :) And thanks for watching!

Then mute it, Lori!

Thank you for watching and recommending! I’ll look into the Turkish subtitles!

My coneflower germinated quickly and grew rather quickly once the warm weather hit! Many people choose to plant native plant plugs in the fall so they don’t have to go through the hot summer weather. I’d say you have time and it’s worth a shot!

🥳

Thank you for watching!

Greetings! I was down in GR for several years, beautiful areas down there!

I transplanted most of these into soil right at the start of summer (to put in my outdoor garden!), but my strawberries I tend to cut runners off from in late summer to add back to my hydro system again. I'll post an update on those soon, in the meantime here's the video on transplanting my hydro plants into soil! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7N_mKSUkse8YqM.htmlsi=GStAnyqs0OXzCD7z

Thank you!

It’s one of my favorites!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!

I have found with a lot of my native seeds the paper towel is too porous if the seed sprouts. The tiny roots get entangled into the fibers of the paper towel, but not in my coffee filter. So I usually use the coffee filter as that first layer.

Thank you!
