Planting up annual flowers and herbs in my new container garden using seedlings I grew using winter sowing.

  1. Esther I never have any luck with Basil until the weather heats up, the seeds don’t even want to be bothered until then. At least that’s been my experience. Containers look great.

  2. Beautiful array of containers plants, flowers, etc., Esther! Looks lovely and may surprisingly be better than your original plan. I look forward to seeing everything grow and bloom. 🙂

  3. Esther it looks really good! You probably know this but never plant any mint directly into the ground. I made that horrible mistake, it’s so invasive. I’m going to stick with containers. Just so much easier.

  4. I love your Solution to your garden changes!! Great idea to put the containers at different levels. You can see all the plants better. 🪴 Just love it❤! See, you had the Solution all along, you just had to get it out of your head! 😃 You are going to have a great harvest, I just know it. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 👍

  5. Just make sure they will need a little more care in the watering department. 😃👍🥰💯 Great garden! 🌻⚘🪴🌱🌾🌿🐝🐞🦋🪱🌻

  6. The container garden looks terrific! I am confident that will give you a lot of gardening pleasure.

  7. Hi. I love ur plants. I am in zone 3 and my plants are so small yet not true leaves in most of them and today it snowed….. I’m so scared about losing everything. I bought about 53 different kind of seeds and I don’t have half yet…. watching ur videos gives me hope but I’m a bit sad and scared. We put so much love and hopes in our seeds

  8. Hi Esther – you've done so well displaying fantastic promise out of the curved ball you were dealt!
    You asked me to do it…& I've checked that no-one else has, so here goes –

  9. I think you can direct sow basil seeds. I saw Rustic Garden direct sow some as a form of succession planting for when his full grown basil plants bolts.

  10. Kudos,! Container garden looked great. Imagine how the containers will look when everything is truly lushed and filled with flowers. The fear is gone!

  11. Excellent pivot, Esther. Keep an eye on that catnip. It will explode (ours grows in the crappiest corner of the yard and sprouts come up through the patio! Can handle abuse/neglect. Lemon balm I grew once and it tried to consume a whole bed. I got rid of it. Probably similar in invasive potential to the catnip. We grew ageratum last year and it spread so nice and was lovely all summer. I tried to save seeds but nothing grew. I didn't stratify, so maybe that was it. We've got self-watering buckets for tomatoes and some other things that need consistent water. So far, so good!
