[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Friends! Pinetree Garden Seeds reached out and is sending me some super interesting varieties to test out, stay tuned!! It's all thanks to my beautiful community here that I get to work with my favorite seed growers and vendors, so THANK YOU!

[@allyfox5900]

It's lovely to see you again! Best of luck with all your seeds.💜💚🌱🌾

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Thank you!! Off to a decent start so far, only toasted one batch 😅

[@Rhyswithoutherspoon]

I wish you all the best with your garden this year! I always lobe your positivity and relatable content.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@mariagamboa6249]

Nice to see you!!! 💚💚💚

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Thanks for watching 🥰 it’s good to be back

[@jeannemuller7625]

Missed you. Welcome back!😊

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

I missed this so much!! Thanks for being here!

[@amymorrison1780]

Yay! So happy to see a video of yours! And so sorry about your job situation. Hope you find a better fit soon!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Thank you so much! I am sure I will. Let’s hope soon! 😅

[@11Aradia11]

Gee, it's great to see you 😃 We're going into Autumn here in Australia. My climate is temperate so I can grow year round rarely getting a frost. I love watching the videos from the northern hemisphere, you all get so excited and it helps me overcome garden burnout at the end of a hot summer. Next week I'm preparing for brassicas, peas & salads, hoping the temperature will drop below 30 degrees Celsius so they don't struggle too much. I'd love some tea making videos using your harvests & keep up the beautiful photography. You're a woman of many talents 😃

[@11Aradia11]

Also, I agree about accepting your gardens limitations and not being so darn independent 😅 I use the markets/green grocers for what I can't grow, that's what they're there for 😉

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

It's so good to support local farms and it saves stress, money, and space to grow what is pleasurable! I hope your autumnal months are beautiful down there!

[@mothaTLK]

Great. Now I need to go buy more seeds… 😏

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

We will go down together, my friend. I just put in another one 😅

[@peritapugnandi6624]

So nice to see you again! 😊 I hope, you will find a better job and that your kitties get well soon and come along. I have no big plans for this season. But I would like to try growing a blueberry on my balkony 🫐 Lots of greetings, Katharina (we saw us last year in a meeting with Jane Perrone 😊)

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Good to see you again Katharina! Blueberries do great in pots, you should have great results!

[@trex1570]

Yeah seed time!! 🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾❤️

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

So exciting!

[@MoonCat33]

Merry meet! Happy to have found ya 🌸

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Merry meet! ✨

[@TheLeafyGeek]

Better believe I clicked on this immediately! Can relate so much to “Day Job Blues.” ❤ Great to see ya!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

They should invent a job where no one is around or talks to me and also is never more than 6 hours long.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

24 hours later I’m realizing the job I’m describing is the one I went to college for (writing). Unfortunately I don’t think anyone’s been paid for that since 2007? 😅

[@TheLeafyGeek]

@@PamsPrettyPlants accurate. My print journalism degree pretty much went into the recycle bin upon graduation. 🤷‍♀

[@hamlok17]

We missed you 💚

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

🥰 y’all know how to make a girl feel the love!

[@azpeach5680]

You will love the MIGardener seeds! I grow so many of their stuff and it all works out:) Great video! I always love your variety!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

My friend Layla sent me some last year and they worked out great then! They have a good selection now too, it had been a few years since I was on the site.

[@melissachochard4242]

Hi Pam...I have been following you since your "CVS" days, LOL... That's a very long time.. .loved it when you would do your 💄💅 makeup sit downs... Stay safe and Be well

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

That is a very long time!!! I still slap CVS until free stuff falls out now and then but they made it much less fun with all the rules. Thanks for stopping by!! 🥰

[@melissachochard4242]

@@PamsPrettyPlants Yes they have... I'm still loyal, tho ..Hopefully, it will get better 💓

[@tinyfarminthemaking6127]

FWIW, I've had 2 Arp rosemary bushes in pots that have thrived through the past two winters in my patio with temps down to 9°F. I haven't protected them in any way. All my other rosemary varieties die off. Arp is also my favorite tasting of the rosemary varieties that I've tried- very dynamic and strong flavor without tasting medicinal at all.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Oh! Thank you for this info!! So far my rosemary is still alive in the drafty high tunnel (the wind keeps untucking the plastic on me!)

[@kellymeyers6548]

So Good to see you! This Will Be a great growing season! Looking forward to seeing your gardening endeavors this year. Last year was my first year growing Borage (for composting). The Japanese beetles loved it too much. This year, I will be locating it far away from other plants that those vicious beetles also loved (my beans and strawberries).

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Oh thank you that is very good to know!! I hate those things! I planned to grow it in the far corner maybe I’ll use it as a trap or container it. 🤔 I wonder if I could harvest before July and pull it, that’s when the beetles show up here. Thanks for the info again I’m gonna think on it!

[@N-a-d-i-a]

Lovely to see you! 🤍

[@mwillis7791]

So lovely to see you!!!!❤

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Hey hey! 🥰

[@suedobak4971]

I'm doing some of the same...straw flowers, borage & Hopi Red amaranth🤞

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Woohoo! I can’t wait

[@cj3078]

love your spirit have really missed you soil sister!!!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

🥰🖤

[@rachelbartley7888]

So nice to see you again Pam!... I watched ALL the ads to help you out a little!.. hope you can find an at home job and be happier!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

You're the best! Thank you!! I will figure something out, hopefully before I have a meltdown at work because the noises are too noisy 😅

[@suekuly4723]

OMFG!!!! Welcome back Lady. You have been missed. What are you doing for work outside of KZbin - if you want to share?

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Thanks!!! I work in a factory that makes crap that ends up in landfills from (I assume) sweatshop textiles. It was a convenient, quick job option I’m glad I had when I needed it but it’s a dead end pit of despair I am counting the days to escape. Prior to covid I had a photography business. I was pretty burned out so I thought I’d take a break and get a random job and boy was that a mistake 😅

[@suekuly4723]

@@PamsPrettyPlants would you ever go back to photography?

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Definitely, probably not weddings again, but I intend to relaunch for portraits this year. It’s a tough market so I’ll probably do that and something else for a while. I’d love to find a part timer with a florist who maybe wants to train a willing employee! 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@suekuly4723]

@@PamsPrettyPlants Send out those positive vibes and I will as well, that you you find a florist job, as well as portraits.

[@debs_boho_jungle]

Hi Pam!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Hey Deb!

[@RADCOMJ1]

Scabiosa are awesome they will proliferate and bees and butterflies love them. I didnt know. about Dahlias from seeds, thank you. Try the Cherokee purple tomato 🍅 ...its like Michael jackson dancing on your tongue😅

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

I grew the scabiosa this year and it was awesome!! Always little skipper butterflies all over them. I looove Cherokee purple tomatoes, I have no luck growing them but always get them at the farmers market.

[@kathrynweaver6745]

I love dahlia for seed because they are truly the funky look I want my garden to have

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Yesss I love them

[@alwayspropagating9146]

Yay Pam!!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

🙋🏻‍♀️🖤

[@FloridaGrownAdventure]

I too sit at my 9-5 job and think the same thoughts as you. 👀 one day I’ll be free from it! lol

[@lindsaysullivan2148]

We harvested bell peppers last year! There's still more coming. Mother is thrilled because she needs someone to pass down her hundreds of plants to. I feel so much pressure. 😂😂😅

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Hahaha that’s awesome! Took me a few years to figure the bells out cause we have such a short stupid season. Don’t feel pressure it’s in your bones and blood!

[@lindsaysullivan2148]

​@PamsPrettyPlants that's what mom said! I haven't killed anything yet except Gerber Daisy Seedlings. I started them myself from seeds my sister plant spit out. I'll try again. It's so weird bc Bell Peppers aren't in season anymore but welcome to Florida. Lol 😂

[@lgarden7086]

So nice to see you…I was wondering where you were. I love leeks too, but I gave up due to my horrible allium bug…they are always in my leeks😜 I swear I have every bug in the world but I don’t spray to get rid of them so the cycle goes on. I planted Patterson onions for the first time last year in a brand new raised bed. The soil was so nutrient rich that I did not fertilize, they were average size and very good. 👍 I read somewhere that they are great planted with strawberries so I added some extra seedlings in with my berries and never fertilized those (should’ve) they were tiny so I pulled them and I’m going to plant them in early spring and see what happens. Good luck with your garden this year….sounds like you’ll be growing a lot of cool plants. 🙏

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

I had OK luck with the onions I put near my alpine strawberries last year so I think that might be true!? All the others kind of sucked but those did ok.

[@capecodcottagegarden]

Yay Pam! Happy to see you back and I love the seeds you picked...now to my mantra "you dont need any more seeds this year, you dont need any more seeds this year" but..... those ground cherries looked interesting :). Never grew leeks and I don't think I've ever had leeks. How do you use them fresh? cooked? no idea

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

I eat leeks on pizza and in soup usually, they’re so tasty, like a mild onion. Ground cherries are so awesome, my favorite garden walk snack in the summer 🥰

[@serresaschrock2359]

Borage also deters squash bugs

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Now THAT is exciting!

[@AngieRichmond]

“Real” jobs suck but this video was great! Looking forward to more garden videos. 💙

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Thank you! Spring is so close yet so far away…

[@AngieRichmond]

@@PamsPrettyPlants you’re welcome. Oh agreed. Here in Canada we’re getting our fake spring and it’s killing me. Snow back on the way this week sadly. But at least we can start seeds and dream of our gardens.

[@louisamichelleloll]

awh pam! yay I was wondering if we'd see you this year for the growing season, I always get so inspired by your spring time content

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Not yet because of the same anxiety!! They seem hard and I never manage to get the seeds in time. Next year … maybe 😂

[@mariagamboa6249]

BORAGE = COURAGE ‼️

[@Ma1ingo]

Welcome back. I think you brought Pineapple Tomatillos and not Pineapple Ground Cherries. They're different! Botanical Interests has the Pineapple Ground Cherries that you want.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

You know I was wondering if that was a thing 🙈 thank you!! Fortunately I found some seeds I didn’t know I had. They’re a little old, crossing my fingers they germinate

[@serresaschrock2359]

Nasturtium is a trap plant the aphids will be on it and leave your other plants alone 😊

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

They don’t work great in that case 😅

[@abbyswaringam3386]

moooood working a "real" job also sucks my will to live out my body T_T

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

And it's so rarely the actual work, but the people that make it so unbearable. I don't mind work or being busy, it's being infantilized, exploited, lied to, and underpaid that I can't handle.
