I could listen to you all day. My garden is full of stolen ideas from your garden. Thank you for your channel.

I agree,and the tone of his voice doesn't hurt either.

[@suburbanhomestead]

I'm glad to hear that. I myself never considered my voice mellifluous :-)

[@onetuliptree]

Your videos are like reading a garden adventure book, with art, and songs, for grown-ups!

[@cherylnorise420]

Your ideas are awesome. But your talent is unprecedented. If I were a talent scout I would have you on PBS or Netflix. Your ability to create and tell your story. The artworks you create and not only that. Your singing and song writing WOW. I would buy the CD even if I don't know the words. In other words you sir are awesome. Have an awesome week.

[@suburbanhomestead]

I really appreciate that. I don't know where the scouts hide :-)

@@Meanjuice you can purchase Siloe's album "Taproot" via an app called "Bandcamp". It's beautiful and im keen for their next release. 😀

[@zullylozano1840]

I interplanted my tomatoes with zinnias in addition to my usual marigolds, after watching a video you made last year. I have to say the end result was stunning. The tomato patch looks so beautiful with polkadots of various colors peeking out of the foliage.. Thanks for the tip, I’ll always plant zinnias next my tomatoes going forward.

[@ellisterrell6304]

This is the epitome of all Direct Seed Gardening. I have grown Zinnias and Marigolds, for many years. It is a pleasure to see a Master Gardner direct sowing these seeds directly into the soil. Awesome video.

[@ltlbnsgarden]

I love how you do your videos. They are very soothing, very creative, very informative and fun to watch 😊

[@suburbanhomestead]

I'm glad to provide a moment of peace and insight

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

Thank you for sharing your garden and knowledge with us. I’m a KZbin gardener too. It’s my 3rd year and ever year I try to get better. This year I’m trying intercropping/companion planting. I found your channel in my research. This is very helpful and I and so happy I found your channel because it has so much to offer. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow our gardens and our channels! Happy Planting!

[@wrongwayconway]

I plant zinnias and marigolds all over! In the tomato beds, in amongst the shrubs, in my front garden. Love them!

[@terriel41]

Great looking garden I'm here in Maryland as well . I grew some zinnias last season . even had a hummingbird come by and hang out in the garage for a day.

[@lilmisspeace]

This is perfectly timed, as just yesterday morning I awoke to God giving me an idea to line my front path to my letterbox with both pollenator attracting plants and edible shrubs in a very specific way that would work during both long summer days and short winter ones!! I had always thought growing flowers was a waste of time, but as I learn more I see the wholeness of the ecosystem of all plants together ❤ Your style is so inviting; you are a master at taking your viewer on a journey that is perfectly balanced in relaxing and encouraging vigour in the viewer 👍 every viseo is a mini master piece, thank you for such well developed content that doesn't have to be purchased; I am a single mum of a special needs child plus 4 other children and cannot afford a lot; I find free materials everywhere I can and seed save to help get my garden to go further; your channel has really helped in these ventures AND has put into videotography my souls passion for gardening and being close to the earth and all it produces! God bless you ❤❤❤

[@UkisFarm]

I find these videos so soothing, please keep them coming.

[@suedalessandro6089]

Siloe, this is the best gardening channel. Your videos are wonderful; beautifully produced and presented. I eagerly await new instalments. Greetings from France.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Merci! I still cannot fathom how there are literally people watching from all over the world. I think the south of France is a beautiful region

[@jessicajones1451]

Just found your channel. Thank you for the information and inspiration. My garden is looking dismal right now, but this video is the boost of positivity I need to get back out there.

[@sglass3222]

I just discovered your channel and I'm so in love with the editing of your videos and your calm and thoughtful approach to gardening! I'm getting so many ideas for my own yard and I love the values you bring to it as well :)

[@vmcshannon]

I love to add flowers to my garden beds but I see now that I have been doing it wrong🙁. I have the timing off. I need to plant the tomatoes and marigolds at the same time. I also like the way you explain why pollinators need the extra flowers to be encouraged to live in an area. Makes so much sense! Thanks .

[@culdesacgrocerygarden]

I never quite thought about the bees needing continuous crops to encourage them but I guess it’s pretty well covered in my yard. Things bloom February through November. For the past couple weeks there are bees and butterflies in masses on the zinnias and autumn joy sedum.

[@TMBgarden]

0:25 I notice notice that too, my bigger and sturdy marigolds and zinnias and my floriferous or the giant ones cosmos became from directly sowed just sprinkled over the soil and careless from that. They really performed all season long and also take several heavy frost before burn and die. They give me the best and bigger seeds ever!

[@user-zn4vx9pm7s]

Love your garden. I'm growing lots of flowers this year. And I'm growing rudbeckia because of you 😊💐🌹.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Enjoy the rudbeckia. We call it black-eyed susan. It is the Maryland state flower.

[@tatianka30006]

You are amazing at growing plant starts!! Your zinnia seedlings look so great! Mine couldn't wait to go in the ground this year and were miserable in their cups indoors. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A FULL GARDEN TOUR, SILOE! I realize that you film throughout the season and then compile a video about a specific plant, and I love that. I would also love to see a full tour of what every corner of your garden looks like each month - you have such an eye for putting veggies and flowers together to create a beautiful space! I take inspiration from you.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try some of that in the future. (I usually film material one year and release it the next or more)

[@luckychicav7981]

Beautiful video! I Love Sunday for so many reasons, one being that you upload a video. 😉 If it's a busy Sunday, I wait to watch it till when I have a moment to sit and peacefully enjoy it. Thank you for sharing what you do, I appreciate it! 😊❤️️

[@suburbanhomestead]

I'm glad to provide a place of respite for you!

[@tonyafrancesca8409]

Amazing ideas, I have all my peppers, eggplants and tomatoes inside on tissues, dreaming of the summer ahead in Oz !!! Such a great tip! I am now thinking ahead to flowers, great timing :)

[@suburbanhomestead]

I hope you have a great growing season.

[@berri5769]

Love your video! Your style of planting is like mine, this year was my first year with flowers in the vegetables! It’s amazing. Looking forward to plant even more soon.

[@cantalibre4708]

What a beautiful show it will create. Happy, colourful & natural. Thank you Siloe.

[@suburbanhomestead]

I'm glad you liked it

[@gemini0808]

Loved this! Great video nice presentation!! Subscribed. This will be my first time ever attempting to grow zinnias, tomatoes and tomatillos. I'm excited and can't wait!

[@maryedmo7798]

I love your artistic style of gardening and film production.

[@sharonspiteri2586]

Thank you for another great video. Apart from planting my Marigolds in pots from seeds as I always do and having already sown Marigold seeds directly into various parts of the garden whilst labelling their positioning, I will also randomly broadcast the seeds to see what happens. Thanks for the encouragement. Will be trying a couple varieties of Zina for the first time . Looking forward to seeing the results later in the year. Thank you again.

[@deniedsanity]

Thank you :) . Love the zinna's. Got the peppermint stick variety colouring the garden at the moment.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Those are very cheerful

Love both marigold and Zinnias and collecting seeds Going to plant both in my front yard as you did with the tomato

[@mskitty666]

It might be in part for to pregnancy hormones bit you garden is just so beautiful it makes me want to cry ❤️ coming into spring here in aus I'm so inspired to cram my yard full of flowers I usually end up with a bit of a bare garden because I have already of snail probelums but I'm getting better at growing more seedlings than I need 😀

[@CekodokPisangSedap]

I felt calm & pack with ideas everytime watching your video.

[@suburbanhomestead]

I love to hear that. Happy gardening

[@porkcheeks]

That was great, just what I needed. I’ve been trying to find a use for this big jug of marigold seeds I’ve saved. I was told that self-saved seeds are stronger because they selected their traits that performed best in your area. Logic follows that package seeds are tuned for wherever the seed farm is. You don’t seem worried about it; I also crowd my plants and can’t seem to help myself. I want to plant every seedling.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Even with more space in my new garden, I still can’t help myself and crowd things. It’s a deep set habit, I guess. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@joshuacleberg1603]

First video i have watched of your's and i felt inclined to subscribe. Thank you for the beautiful content!

[@HomesteadHopeful]

Ohhh I have extra zinnia seeds, I'll be planting them in with tomatoes and tomatillo as well. Thanks for the tip. Great video thank you.

[@tasneemarahmi9455]

The song is so beautiful.

[@flowerfairy1950]

Yes, I read that seed from your own plants are much better as their DNA is attuned to your environment. I heard about trucking bees in for almond trees etc; Dave Goulson says they are most unhappy bees. Pity farmers don't plant for pollinators with their nut trees and fruit orchards.

[@KerriEverlasting]

With your house and garden all done in a gentle olde world style, along with masterful video editing, I often wonder what your high tech area looks like. No one gets this good on an iPhone- would you consider sharing that space with us? Much love ❤

Lindo como sempre, Siloe! Parabéns por mais uma obra de arte, tanto o video em si como o jardim/horta. Que maravilha! Um verdadeiro bálsamo! Como já foi referido em vários comentários, é tudo fantástico: a voz, a música, a arte cinematográfica, até a forma como te vestes - que transmite um não sei quê de nostalgia. Tanto trabalhinho... mas vale a pena! Só espero que alguém com poder de te levar mais longe te descubra um dia. A esperança é a última a morrer - e os jardineiros sabem bem disso, não?! São mestres em paciência e esperança - e Deus é grande! Muitos parabéns desta portuguesa daqui da outra costa (Oregon). Também tenho um backyard fantástico. Faço ideia os vídeos lindos que aqui poderiam ser feitos, caso tivesse o teu talento. Mas não é para todos, cada um com o seu. Fico feliz por teres sido abençoado com tantos dons lindos! Fica bem!🌻
