Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am going to plant something so pretty in my front flower bed that has looked horrendous since my mother passed because I've known nothing of flowers. And you said that they lay their seed and will grow again on their own year over year?
This year, I’m foregoing my typical vegetable garden. I’m considering flowers, shrubs, and bushes. What flower is the best candidate for mass planting? All commenters are welcomed. Great video…
Wow the Chicken Cottage looks fantastic!! You've come a long way on this project Brian! You guys must be so thrilled how it is coming together!
"Erewhon The name came from Samuel Butler's 1872 book “Erewhon,” about a health-minded utopia." Thanks to google I now know what the heck erewhon is . Erewhon is also the name of a ritzy food store chain started in Boston is also in L.A.
Poppies???
wow everything looks great I hope you can do a garden tour when the hole project Is completed
I've using black gold seed mix for 3 years and have been really pleased with the results.
You need to stratify the poppies. Good luck getting the plants out of those deep pots.
It’s been a long journey, but in a year or two it will look magnificent! Thank you for sharing your ideas and your vision!
What about centaurea?
It’s helpful if you state which horticultural zones of which you speak.
Wow Best information sharing dear friend 💐 full watch stay connected
OMG the cottage looks amazing! Great job on the stucco, I love you gave it a try and it turned out so good!
Brian my husband and I enjoy your videos the seed starting mix you purchased on Amazon Black gold has great reviews, we just ordered a bag to use for our spring plantings looking forward to trying it.
Love the chicken coup
What are you going to do to hide the space beneath the chicken coop? ❄️💚🙃
The chicken coop looks fantastic by the way. Is the back side going to remain open to the elements? I may have missed that explanation? ❄️💚🙃
Here is a real thatched cottage so you know what it takes to do it proper 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpm7Eicl5v4
Good start on the stucco, it's looking great
I have those root trainers, used them for 2 years, they work fine, just don't be rough with them.
If you use Vermiculite, you will find it all over your house on the floor, it sparkles in the sun, it will have come in on your shoes unbeknown to you. Happy growing my gardening amigos.
OK, how about this idea: use some thatch to build a "stork's nest" for the top of the chimney! You could find a stork sculpture to stand in the nest. That would be cool.
What zone are you in?
Every year I use straight branches to form tepees for growing sweet peas here in south-central Indiana and probably always will
Great tutorial and informative video Brian ♡
Such a great video Brian. Awesome to see you build your own Cottage garden
Every time I've planted sweet peas I've been told to soak them for at least 24 hours before planting. I notice you skip this step. Do you usually have good luck growing without soaking? I would love to skip it as I always forget and have to put off my planting. LOL
