Well, thanks so much for another fun video and some great tips on gardening. Please get out of that dirt bag and let’s start doing some gardening.
Watch from the beginning to the end and I was your number one fan the first one to leave a comment on this post also
Love you and your channel as well as your husband. Does he have a channel as well,if so could we get a link?
Those light pulleys would have been so great back in the day when I started 82 flats of seeds in my basement! Raising and lowering the lights was a real chore!
I love that you give away the seed trays you can't use. My local greenhouse also has a bin outside where they take back containers, sterilize them and reuse them. Great way to reuse things.
Frustrating that you have to pay extra shipping for their mistake where they forgot items.
Thanks again
When do the growers start petunias to get them to that size already? My petunia seedlings are still tiny!
Thanks, Corey. I needed to see something in bloom. The cold, windy weather here has been a real downer. I almost sent you a photo collage of my blooming garden plants from last year, but it didn't fit the garden doodle theme. I enjoyed seeing the submissions that folks sent in. I hope you and Liam are having a lovely weekend. ~Margie🤗🐞💐🦋
I am looking outside at brown brown everything. It's an early spring to see all those gorgeous plants!
Oh the possibilities.
Love your u-tube you have taught me a lot. Keep up the good work. I think you're awesome
Fun video Corey, thanks! Thanks for including my word search even though it wasnt a doodle! All of your plants are looking great! Keep up the good work!
That is awesome that you give away the trays. People remember the kindness.
Where have I been I have never seen a black petunia.
Thank you for posting my paintings Cory. I garden during the summer and I paint the rest of year. I take plenty of pictures or I do plein air painting in the summertime. I love how it adds color in the house during the winter months.
Hi Corey, 😊 Wow, you have a lot of artists in your garden gang, so many great pictures✌🏻
I just moved to this house last May so the pic shows future flowers that I happen to be growing 😅 and the duck pond is hopefully a new addition to my existing garden that’s in the pic.
So I have some petunias in my bathroom that happens to be cooler then where my gh is. Now I understand the difference in the growth. I thought it was the light making them little bushy plants. Learn something everyday! 😊
I love verbenas so much and still haven’t found seeds so I’ll grab some babies soon. Loved the bright colors from your blossoms your. That blackberries and cream petunias has my heart pounding 😅
Thanks for sharing 😊
I just mapped out how long it would take me to visit your nursery.. just over 3 hours, I am down here near Ann Arbor. I am thinking about visiting this late spring.
Everything is gorgeous! Enjoyed the video!
Hello! You mentioned that you are getting plant deliveries now. I'm just curious why do you guys not grow plants in nursery yourself? Wouldn't it be cheaper for you to do it, rather than ordering from someone else? Seems like it's very common in the USA to order plants from other growers 🤔 I wonder why is that? In my country pretty much all nurseries grow everything from seeds, dividing, propagation (and not just flowers, but for example hydrangeas, arborvitaes, etc.) themselves. Just plain curiosity how it works in the USA.
GET OUTTA THE DIRT!….silly man! LOL
Corey’s back in the dirt bag! 😆. Oooh all the blooms in the nursery looks so beautiful and thank you to all the doodlers’ submissions, what fun! I wrote your address down, then promptly forgot all about it! Maybe next time? Zone3 Manitoba. True North Strong 💪🇨🇦❤️
This was just what I needed to bring me joy and some color today. It is so brown and dry in Colorado (Franktown just south and east of Denver). It is warming up with some teaser days but I know winter is not done with us yet.
