That’s neat sowing poppy seeds in the snow! Your flowers were beautiful!! Looks so effortless unlike putting the shed together. The floor turned out nice. My husband used to build pole sheds now he and my sons manufacture the metal for sheds. Lots of she’d builders in our area they would bring you a garden shed ready to go.

[@lindaparra6002]

It's hard to believe that the poppies would grow the way they did. I saw you sprinkle the seeds and voila! God is so good! Thank You for sharing this video and of course the music running through was perfect. Continued Blessings!

Watching this as the snow piles up and I am drinking hot tea dreaming of spring

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

It's been SO gray. We have a blinding sun today. I am very grateful.

[@wenDesigner]

My mom and I used to spread poppy seeds in winter too. Her poppies were red and orange. ❤😊

[@k.crosbie261]

Amazing to see how you sew poppies. I have got to do that

[@patriciacinea3097]

Angela, your garden is an oasis in the forest. Thanks for the reminder of sowing poppies in the snow.

[@billhalsted7319]

The kids are sledding down the septic hill - ha I love it. Best part of the whole video! Also the snow and flowers to come in spring are both beautiful. - Sandy

[@TheVelvetVine]

This was so wonderful! Both the winter and the flashbacks to summer. I've never sown poppy seed in winter snow but I am going for it now!

[@lindaerby2731]

Omg, Angela! We also bought a similar metal shed, attempted assembly, and went to the Home Depot and ordered a wooden assembled one! My “Joel” wasn’t as patient as yours with the 15,000 parts. 😂. As always your gardens are inspiring! Thank you💕

[@abundantacre9]

So beautiful! It’s always amazing to me how at the end of the garden/hot season, I wonder how I will ever want to go through it all again. Yet, here I am planning out new spaces for the coming year and so excited I can hardly stand it. You always inspire and encourage me. Thank you for the courage it takes to share parts of your life with us all. I listen to every Homemaker Chic episode and am truly a better person because of ‘knowing’ you!

I loved looking back to summer in Door County, such a relaxing video! Jr. Is getting so big , can I say he is beautiful lol . He is such a good helper. Vicki

[@oldtavernfarm]

This is so perfectly timed! Just yesterday, we broke out the seed catalogs and started "existing seeds inventory" and order lists. I have ALWAYS struggled to grow poppies. I've never seen this technique anywhere, so darned if I'm not putting in an order of poppy seeds to sprinkle in the snow!! Maybe I'm just being too precious with it- so thanks for the polar opposite way of thinking!! (Btw, my hubs got stuck in Detroit in the last storm, and had to hire a car and drive home to the Adirondacks) Big hugs! Stay warm!

[@bevcollins6937]

You do things SO CLASSY...like how you showed us the floor..not a boring way but an unique way. Love your videos. ❤😊

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

I sprinkle my poppy, larkspur and and Cornflower seed directly on the ground, in a cleared patch, in the same manner . I did it last week, and today, we actually got snow which nicely blanketed the patches. Kind of nice, because we rarely get any snow.

[@DLynne222]

We didn't get any snow this time with this arctic blast, though we did get the low temps. I planted poppy seeds a few weeks ago, and again two weeks ago, though not in snow, and I may plant more before winter is over. We don't get much snow here in TX, but I think seeding in snow is a great idea! I did last year in a very brief snow, and now I don't think about snow without thinking, hey this is an opportunity to plant poppy seeds! Thanks for the reminder too. I adore your garden and love that you share your methods for achieving it. Thank you!!

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

Thank you! What kind do you grow?

[@DLynne222]

@@ParisienneFarmgirl I sow several kinds, but so far it's the red corn or Flanders poppies that have done the best. They're beautiful and look wonderful with the Larkspur, and with all the other wildflowers.

[@susannewlove2115]

Love all the behind the scenes of putting it all together…a hard working family. What a beautiful place to live near the lake. Great video as always.

[@jenniferkessener1111]

Yes, I scattered poppies on the snow last year, and it was so successful! No doubt I learned it from you 🌹

[@deannarabe7499]

I have these color poppies, though the friend who shared them with me years ago, called them oriental poppies! I’m going to give this method so sowing a try! I love these flowers!

[@debbiem6406]

I’m in So. Calif. (West Los Angeles). I want to scatter Poppy seeds too!! I want yours! Something other than the small orange California Poppies that grow “wild” except for in my garden for some reason. I’m only just now trimming back my roses, missing the December date. But, my pink Camilla’s are finally blooming. Must be all the rain we had here. You’re always so inspiring. 💖

[@roseofsharin]

Lol grouchy hubby alert! You ok? I'm so envious of your garden. I'm working on mine.

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

That stupid shed and it's ridiculous directions would have made anyone grouchy. I thought it was hysterical so I didn't edit it out.

[@melindaferreira9879]

Nice!

[@joanlogan7416]

You & Joel have a beautiful family🟣 Enjoy your video’s!!!

[@sharongruener6078]

Beautiful.... Thank you. Blessings.

[@stephanieburris]

Angela! I'm laughing at this! I have a shed that is supposed to be mine AND my husband has put all his stuff in it AND left the door open and snow was everywhere! I have a China cabinet in mine filled with Terra cotta pots. We need to find a chandelier in October for it!

[@Michelleshomeandgarden]

Beautiful garden Angela, you most definitely need a greenhouse out in the garden! It would look gorgeous with the flowers! 💐 😊

[@kathleengillard9120]

We got a lot of snow the last couple of days across the lake from you, in the Grand Rapids area. Last year I sprinkled poppy seeds in the snow and got a few plants. I’ll have to do it again! Like your garden. Have been to Door county once!

[@genietillery878]

What I noticed when you were planting your poppies is how beautiful your hair looked. Door county looks so beautiful in the summer. The lake so blue, the grass and trees so green.

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

Oh, thank you. Even in editing I was thinking, wow, I can see my highlights. I never notice them otherwise. I appreciate your compliment.

[@genietillery878]

@@ParisienneFarmgirl I have what we call in the south "cabin fever". Been stuck with lots of snow and sub zero temps coming in tonight, UGH.

[@lindafaierson6030]

Wow, Angela, I didn't know you can sow seeds outside in the snow. I ll have to try that when it's not minus 1. I planted more tulips and alium this falll and hoping they come up.. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffkey3158]

Ohhhh, are we supposed to cover lavender in the winter?? I live in Illinois 😙😙😙if you have a lot of knowledge on lavender my goodness I would enjoy a video on just that 💜Thank you!!

[@TheVelvetVine]

Yes, please!! Me, too!❤❤❤

[@amara1954]

I have spring fever and it is so cold!! Our daughter lives in Appleton and has a cold winter as well. Stay warm ❤❤

[@dakotatango6047]

Thank you for reminding me of poppy planting❤

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

My pleasure.

[@sherryhudson9075]

What keeps the birds from eating the poppy seeds on the snow?

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Looks like maybe the frost cloth she put on top.

[@AlexandraKozub-tp7fe]

Beautiful I love the poppies what was the name of poppies. I love lavrnder

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Lovely, video! I love your plaid coat.❤️👏🏻

[@Lilleybugglane]

Caught up on the podcast yesterday... you may want to listen to Annie Lennox Christmas cornucopia CD... its a fave of mine... loved seeing the garden and your shed floor!!! 🇺🇸

[@heatherannekennedy9368]

Do you have a recommended source for poppy seeds? Are those also known as ‘breadseed poppies’? I grew a pretty salmon pink frizzle poppy last year and now I’m hooked!!! I saved some seed but lost the majority to a hungry mouse … so sad! Thanks for sharing your lovely gardening adventures!

[@Zibutegerard]

Love the poppies! where can I buy them?

[@shawna2037]

What variety of poppies do you plant? I looked up cabbage poppies but couldn’t find much about them. Thanks for the lovely video!

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

Maybe it's a homespun sort of name. Oriental poppies? Not sure:)

[@bobbilynnmiller742]

What is the particular type of your poppies and where do you source the seed ? I live in very snowy Oregon . I never knew I am supposed to cover my lavender! Is this just for specific types of lavender?

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

We just get so cold here. We typically have a good three week stretch of WELL below zero. My variety is Phenomenal and it's what the local lavender farms grow.

[@terriqueen3315]

WHAT KIND OF POPPIES? CAN I PLANT THEM OVER A FIELD NOT CLEARED? YOU KNOW WERE TO BUY BIG BULK SEEDS ?

[@nitahiltner3348]

A gardener in Calif, Dig Plant Water Repeat, got a sponsor to give or donate or discount or something a huge greenhouse! Maybe you can get one too. Check out her latest vlog.
