Barnhaven Primroses From Seed - one year on

A video showing the Barnhaven primroses I grew from seed one year ago. I sowed the Enthusiast's Mix (containing Jack in the Green, Hose in Hose, Jackanapes and Gallygaskins) & the Mystery Packet.

I have Irish ancestors and have never been there. I love seeing videos from Irish folks. It's so beautiful there.

I hope you will visit some day soon.

It is rather satisfying when you grow something from seeds. I don't think I've ever had a primrose plant. They are quite lovely. I may have to look for one or two the next time I'm out and about at my local garden store. Great job, Rachel!!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+Susana1024 Thanks, Susana. Oh yes, do look out for primroses. They are beauties :)

[@meehan302]

Beautiful Primroses Rachel. Glad the weather is a bit more kind to you.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+Patrick Meehan Thanks, Patrick :)

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+Gardening at Douentza Oooh, I can reply to you. Mostly I can't reply to your comments, Patrick, and I don't know why. So please don't think I am ignoring you.

I am envious that you are able to even get the Barnhaven primroses as I have tried everywhere here. I know I can order on line, but you never know if they will get past customs. Cream of the crop in the primrose world for sure. How long is your long border? Mine is 75 ft long and 20 foot deep and since we raise Jacob sheep, I use the well rotted sheep manure. I can certainly relate to the weeding task. Great results as usual Rachel. Kitty is a real helper eh? Just like my 6. They have to be in the middle of everything even if you are only changing a light bulb. Ha, Ha.

[@jackiebinkley4391]

+Jackie Binkley Correction, my border is actually 125 ft long and 20 feet deep. I forgot that it is split by a path in the middle.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+Jackie Binkley I will have to check my measurements for you, Jackie. Wow, that is a long border. But it is better to have a good deep stretch for repeat planting etc. I bet your looks fab.

[@kapa0224]

Hi there. Would really appreciate info on using sheep manure. Thinking about getting animals to keep weeds down, I heard sheep eat up roots and all. Do you have to worry about weeds sprouting from their manure?

[@bumblebeesorchids3408]

Seems you have done a lot in the garden already, the borders look so neat and tidy. You know that you could broadcast a gardening TV show with great success? :) Thanks for all the infos on primroses and I keep my fingers crossed that you will get some interesting crosses out of the ones that haven't bloomed yet.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+Bumblebee Thank you, Bumblebee. I don't know about a TV programme but I do love my garden. At this time of year everything is poised, waiting to explode into growth. I do love that.

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

The border is lovely..Very neat and clean..

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+SHARON SHORT Raring to burst into action. Thanks for watching.

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

Waiting.....Happy I have a front row seat..:-)

[@kapa0224]

Thank you. I would love any information on growing primroses from seeds, and any fragrant unusual plants from seed.

[@GardeningatDouentza]

Here is a video on sowing primroses from seed. The resultant plants all bloomed and went into the garden this year... kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4XTfWpogNufmaM

[@GardeningatDouentza]

And here's the playlist of all the plants I've grown from seed on KZbin. Enjoy. kzbin.info/aero/PLy-0py425Nu2kPSoD901TlNXg4xGMHron

Your cat is just like mine! Super nosey and cat seem to leave things alone! The primroses are really sweet! The reds are a nice shade, and I quite like the pink! Hah! It's an "in your face" colour for sure! Is that a Fatsia japonica in the background? I had one but it got so big for my balcony!!

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+Anna Thornburn Thank goodness our cats don't do too much damage. Yes, that's Fatsia japonica all right. It's allowed grow big where it is :)

[@givmi_more_w9251]

CatS? You mean you have more of these adorable things? :D

[@GardeningatDouentza]

No, I only have one, Isabell. Cats = my cat and Anna's.

[@givmi_more_w9251]

Oh, got that completely wrong. Haven't had my coffee yet.^^

[@mohannadalmadanie4425]

very nice

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+mohannad al madanie Thank you.

[@Ellofez]

I love the pinky one .

[@Ellofez]

Great video Rachel !

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+Ellofez I guess everyone has a different taste in colours :) If you were closed you could have the pink one but I think it is going to my friend's now instead.

[@Ellofez]

+Gardening at Douentza I usually care for pink flowers but I like the shade of pink .

[@BonnieBurdine]

thank you

[@MiracleOrchids1]

Well...I don't know much about primroses...actually i don't know anything 😂 But sure your kitty is lovely😊☺

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+Miracle Orchids Ha ha. Well, now you know there is a think called primroses. In Ireland wild ones grow at the side of the road in country areas and in woodlands. They are all yellow. Perhaps it is the same in Romania?

[@MiracleOrchids1]

+Gardening at Douentza of course we have for sale here as well...But it's not a native plant...some winters here in my city can go down to -25°C 😨

[@GardeningatDouentza]

+Miracle Orchids Brrrrr

[@MiracleOrchids1]

+Gardening at Douentza 😂 Yes ☺ Thats a dat in which o don't need shopoings not even for free😉 well...maybe for a special orchid I would though check the shops 😅
