I love the way you make videos that are a means to communicate rather than massage an ego . I'm a seasoned gardener and I can attest that you make some of the best available. Please keep making videos at your own pace because they are worth the wait . P.s European growers can find top notch seed ( and fresh ) from Jelitto based in Germany.

Thank you Colton! And your suspicion is right, I may film for years before making a video. I think my earliest footage from this video was 2020. I actually foraged the seed in 2018, (had unsuccessfully sown purchased seed prior to that), then had my first plants in 2019. And those are the primary ones you see in the video. I actually have a hard time selecting what footage to use in the video because I have so much. There is a lot left on the 'cutting room floor' so to speak.

Thanks for sharing. I just recently moved from Eastern Washington State to the Lake Champlain area of NY. This will be my first year growing a garden here. We are on 0.3 of an acre that has a front and back lawn. I don't like lawns! I prefer to grow food. I've been hobby farming for a little over 10 years, growing food and raisng mest animals. I like learning all I can about permaculture, intergrative pest management, building soil, native plants, wild edible, and medicinal plants. Recently, how to grow a lot of food in a small space. I just watched your Leaf Mulch 2022 update. It's very inspiring. We have a ton of leaves to clean up, and I plan to use them to grow potatoes this year. I wish you guys all the best this 2023 gardening season.

Hi Annie - I don't know where you are located, but I'm in zone 6 and I would give it a shot. Sow a bit heavier just in case. You could also try stratifying it using the paper towel method. There is always a risk of mold with that method, but if you have very clean work surfaces you minimize the chances of that in my experience.

I really appreciate your down to earth style. I've got 5 acres I've been trying to transform for a few years now. Spent a ton of money on various seed blends but haven't seen a huge return other than a lot of Rudbeckia. I've got some Ironweed here and there and have appreciated it before I figured out what it was. My field this year has got to be 75% covered in some variety of Fleabane. I'm not sure that's good. Any thoughts on that? Thank you so much for your efforts!
@growitbuildit
@growitbuildit Жыл бұрын
Hi - I wouldn't worry about fleabane. It is native, and although it can get quite weedy, it isn't an overly dominating plant. Other, beefier perennials and grasses should eventually out-compete it. If you've done seed mixes, you can mow the field a couple times per year to help keep annual weeds down, while letting your larger perennials develop their root mass. This is actually a method recommended to help keep Goldenrod from being the ultimate thug (even though it is native). This should also be done periodically to keep trees down. If there are some species that you really want to get going though, you may want to look into Winter Sowing some seeds and growing them most the summer in large pots. Then in Fall or right now, go plant them where you can see them from your house. This will give you a nice seed supply for future years, as well as possibly allow you to propagate from division. It obviously isn't a fast strategy, but will allow you to have a stronger hand in 'decorating' your property with natives over the years.
@blenderbenderguy
@blenderbenderguy 11 ай бұрын
@@growitbuildit Thanks Joe! Besides all the fleabane, the understory is clover, mostly red clover. I don't know where it came from, but it's everywhere. Should that concern me in terms of it out competing all the seed blends I've sowed? My thoughts are to spot plant many areas with Indian Grass, Big Bluestem, Ironweed, etc. this Fall and see if I can get other things established.
@growitbuildit
@growitbuildit 11 ай бұрын
I really haven't had to battle red clover before. But you can use herbicides to spot treat it before it blooms next year. That way it would be on equal footing with the others. Just mark a few plant locations and pay attention when they emerge. Carefully spray only those an it can help keep it in check.

Hi Liam - Some that I've grown in pots would be Anise Hyssop, Echinacea purpurea, Plains Coreopsis, Liatris Spicata. In general, if it has fibrous roots it can be grown in a pot. Tap rooted plants may not fare as well. And also, in Winter, the plants should be moved into a garage or shed. If the pot freezes solid you may lose the plant.

I'm not sure just how cold it could tolerate in a container though, as in if the roots froze solid I'm not sure it would survive. It may, but I just do not know. Obviously the larger the container the better. One thing I've learned growing other perennials in a container is that you should make sure it never dries out, or use a heavy pot. Sometimes they can tip over in high winds.
