This is the most comprehensive video on Gomphrena I’ve ever seen! Thank you for going way above the call of duty to make an exceptional learning resource fun and entertaining ❤

[@teekatas]

Never thought I will see gardening enthusiast channel with cool Lo-Fi music!(and soothing voiceover) I can see a lot of time spent making this great video. I'm a beginner at at gardening, and, after postpone it for quite a while, your videos finally encourage me to just do it! 😁

YES!!! I just said that too!!! He's amazing, the videos are sooo good!!!

[@GeauxGrow]

Your gomphrena were simply gorgeous! I love the arrangement. I'm planting it for the first time this spring.

[@budupgarden6109]

Hi did they bloom beautiful flowers

[@TheSubjectofPlants]

I love the seed-to-vase video concept! You have a great filming/editing style. Thanks for documenting and sharing this process!

[@navinhookoom3584]

One way to remove tough weeds is to use the pointed end of a sickle(with utmost care!), scarify the soil around the plant underneath the weeds, and use the tool as a leverage to lift & pull out the weed gently without breaking the long roots deep inside the soil. You could use the tip of a long flat old screw driver! Hope these work for you & all! Warmest regards from Mauritius island!

[@whatsamacallit3833]

Yes it's great to see young people enjoying gardening and working in the soil. Kudos to you and your love of gardening.

[@Irishjay-gu5pb]

Wonderful video!!!! I grew Gomphrena from seed for the first time this year. I am mad I didn't mass plant them! Your display was UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL!!! I grew a mix of purple, pink and white. The all pink is stunning! Thanks for the relaxing video, I learned a ton and enjoyed the music/videography a lot! Your voice is very calming. :)

[@elvisbesewing]

Your videos are oddly poetic and calming lol I grow veggies mostly (cus I like eat) lol but you’ve definitely motivated me to put more effort into flowers or showing love to the pollinators. Thanks for sharing

[@passiondiariesofficial]

Discovered your channel today, it's a gem 🥰

[@melodiesinmylife-usa615]

Love every part of this video. I’m glad I found your video sir! Thank you for this!

[@mayfieldmanor5344]

Thank you including the full cycle from seed to vase. It is so helpful to see this!

[@remmary100]

You are a man of many talents. A potter and a gardener? How satisfying to use a handmade vase for the cut flowers that you have lovingly grown from seed. Well done.

[@Baetanical]

So kind of you. Very much appreciate it.

[@yeahivekilledthat719]

Dang James, the footage in this video is so well done. The various camera angles, closeups, focus effects and pacing made it a joy to watch. And you seem to find the right background music. My gomphrena did so well this summer. Wish I planted more. Appreciate your encouragement with these beautiful flowers.

[@Baetanical]

Anytime! I was thrilled to learn you were growing them. I love to hear how they do in different environments unlike my own, since most of these flowers are so dependent on region. Glad to hear they did well for you.

[@Dr.Zannatnur449]

You are just incredible.

[@rosemarythyme6351]

Gomphrena brought me to your channel. Very informative and enjoyable, especially seeing the process from seed to bloom to a beautiful floral arrangement!

[@bramhajung]

I am obsessed!!! I love your trick of watering the flowerbed before you put the seeds on it! Yayyy

[@shannonhearn811]

I just love this video! The editing is fantastic and the quality is great. Really good to see the whole process and your arrangement at the end is beautiful!

[@rosemarybarke1915]

Loved this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion! I have to say I loved the bucket of Gomphrena before you even made a beautiful bouquet. Loved the arching shapes. I hope you are still enjoying your gardens!

[@KYAMELIA]

The plants look so happy and healthy

[@oshi990]

You are making the world a better place one plant at a time. Am envious of your neighbours. Wish we all had green-thumbed neighbours like you around us. ❤❤❤

[@gabbyferreira4786]

Wow, that’s beautiful, to bad you didn’t mix all the different colors, when you do, I would love to see it , love these flowers

[@asterkore4568]

the footage in ur videos is amazing. its so relaxing. I wish all the youtube algorythm gods smile upon u

[@xiakeller8429]

Great video! I'm so bummed, we had a late May snowfall so my gomphrena plants look terrible. I'm going to try direct seeding to see if I can get some flowers this year.

[@cmadd498]

When the flowers dry out you have seeds for next season!

[@netamorton4832]

I just found your channel and have just bought a pack of the same seeds! Your flowers were beautiful and I can’t wait to sow my seeds! Thank you for the calmness of your video also!❤️

[@johannamick9645]

That poppy bed was the most beatiful ive ever seen in a street :)

[@DebyBarber]

Your voice over and descriptions are so soothing. Loved this video. Can't wait to grow my own with seeds I harvested last year ☺️

[@ofrecentvintage]

I can really relate to the calm bestowed by gardening. It's really been a gift for me this year. Love your "devil strip" oasis. 🌺

[@cabalitresa5717]

I love your editing style with lofi music... its calming... good job ❤

[@paulakaiser7138]

Excellent informative video. Thanks for showing the different varieties. 🙂🌻

[@moonlover6827]

Pls make more videos like these. I'm into flowering plants lately and have been planning to try growing some from seeds. I really enjoyed this video 💛

[@aftaaratik242]

Thanks for such a comprehensive tutorial on one of my favourite flowers.. I have red one,so amazing and even more so when it catches the sun.. Keep inspiring, from Australia

[@herenow2895]

Your seedlings quickly got much taller and generally bigger than mine, which have more of a rosette appearance at the moment. They are a "Fireworks" mix, but the white ones resemble yours a bit more. Although not as large. They've had a good start on the propagating bench and under some supplementary lighting. We'll see how they go once they go outside. Hopefully they'll do as well as yours. Thanks for the video.

[@travellintravellin]

What a wonderful video- expertly produced, beautifully paced, informative and totally engaging! Just what I needed as I sow my first gomphrena here on the south coast of the UK - let's hope they can survive the rigours of an English summer!

[@sophiehong4365]

Thanks for sharing, they are so beautiful, imagine when people enjoy your garden, they may not know how hard you put work behind the beauty. I also enjoy your voice on explaining how you glow them, so relaxing. I wish you can have the time line would be helpful for me, like when you start seeding them, how long take them to sprouts and how long to begin flower, how often you water them, etc,. Thanks a lot.

[@VickiesGardenEvolution]

Love your videos ❤️

[@enagayer7525]

I love finding videos that feature waterwise plants. Thanks!

[@caracoates4834]

Gorgeous! The rudbeckia and gomphrena are a great combo.

[@TrishBhattachan]

I plant these flowers too every year . I just use the dried flowers to reseed. We Nepalese use these for Hindu ritual in late summer/fall. Your video is very inspiring

[@megan1950]

I grew the red gomphrena. I am loving them! So easy care. Every seedling made it to flowering stage.

[@omgwtfMindyloo]

This looks absolutely gorgeous! The bees in your neighborhood must be delighted!

[@TheFragrantBunch]

Thank you for this video! I love gomphrena and seeing them en masse is such a treat! Hope you are enjoying the dried flowers :)

[@Baetanical]

The dried ones still look great!

[@joeschiavi9615]

I love that vase that you made! I’m always looking for unique things to display my flowers in. I couldnt agree more about the enjoyment of growing flowers. It’s amazingly rewarding. This year I purchased some gomphrena seeds so it will be my first time trying them and I’m happy to see they seem to be a no fuss flower. To address your weed question, my mom who has been gardening for many years, she has 6 aches with acres of it as garden, and of course many weeds that want to be there, she is anti weed pulling for a few reasons- which I think is a commonly shared opinion in the garden world- she now smothers her weeds with wood chips that she gets for free from tree cutting companies, the wood chips overtime will break down and they are good for the soil. You may need to adjust (add) to bal Ph later. She also smothers with mushroom compost which where she lives is easy to find, not sure that it would be where you are but any soil works of course... and lastly she uses a flame throwing weed burner which I thought was silly at first but it really works! I do not have the land that she does but I do use the smothering method as much as I can. Hope that helps and thanks for the video, really enjoyed it! Lauren ☺️🌸🐱

[@BayonneHockeygirl19]

[@totallydomestic433]

You inspired me. I ordered seeds today. Live in Fl zone 9, always looking for cottage garden type plants that can take the heat. So glad to find a new one! Thanks

[@budupgarden6109]

Hi I planted Gomphrena for the first time, I just threw the seeds in the bed about a thousand! I got them from (outside pride) wonderful beautiful I love that company seeds they all came up so beautiful pinky. White. Red. Zone 7 a October now still blooming.

[@Betty-qd8st]

Lol I literally ordered the same packet of seeds. It’s good to know the direct sown ones didn’t sprout. . Thank you 🌺

[@andreacoyle1796]

I have gomphrena seeds. I wasnt sure if I would grow them. Now I can't wait!!

[@charitocs5558]

I hate pulling volunteer anything 😂. Love your videos!!!

Great video!!! The neurotic Virgo made me bust out a good laugh…… because it makes me a neurotic Leo and I plant everything indoor to avoid the guessing part. Thank you for sharing your beautiful flowers 🌷

[@Kingdeadshot2]

Good job man I'm also a big fan of these plants

[@dorareyna3791]

BEAUTIFUL GOMPHRENAS AND ARRANGEMENT THAT U DID WITH THEM. THE FLOWER BED DIRT LOOKS MUCH BETTER.😍

[@greendaylover323]

Something you could try with that clay soil is watering in with liquid hummates every month. It slowly seeps into the clay and helps amend it over time! I've seen some pretty good results in my own soil here in Houston.

[@nolaclarke3752]

I grew Los Vegas Gomphrena this year and loved it. I am hoping to harvest seed and grow again next spring. Loved your video, thank you!

Lovely, I’ll definitely give the a go! Another heat and drought resistant plant is oleander, you often see it growing on the side of the motorway in Spain, giving a wonderful display of colour 😊

[@pepperpaige203]

I bought a plant this year at the garden center because I couldn't resist how pretty and cheerful they are. I am going to harvest the seeds from my existing flowers, do some direct planting and some in trays like you suggested.

[@daviafenton8938]

This video was so adorably satisfying from start to finish!

[@michaelallensantos]

Thanks for the video, you've convinced me to try growing gomphrena! To remove weeds, have you tried straw mulch? Here in Australia, we use sugar cane straw mulch around plants because it retains moisture longer and prevents immediate evaporation in the hot summer months and the weeds don't receive the sunlight they need to grow. I mulch around 5 - 10 cm thick and that seems to be a really effective weed control. Also straw mulch is organic matter that is very good for clay soils as it breaks down much quicker than bark or wood chips - making your soil more healthy for the next growing season.

[@Baetanical]

Thank you for the tips!! I’m going to get some straw mulch and try it. I think I’ve seen it being sold.

[@michaelallensantos]

@@Baetanical no worries! Hope it helps 😊

[@laujeanne]

@@Baetanical I have used shredded straws in my gardens for many years. It works great but it does contain a lot of seed from the field the straw is harvested from - so you end up with lots of grass (oats, wheat, or barley) sprouts. I am lucky that the quail and finches will eat a lot of the seed from the straw in my gardesn but I do end up having to pull sprouts on a regular basis. When I run out of the bales I have I am going to switch to alfalfa bales and shred them for mulch. No seeds, no worry about herbicides and additional nutritional benefits for the soil. I wish I could get sugarcane mulch in Nevada!!

[@DGardn100]

@@Baetanical Nutsedge...ugh. I've found that if you catch them early- at about the stage they are in your video- they're easy to control by shoving a trowel deep into the soil next to the plant and lifting the plant and the roots out on the ground. If you let the plants get large enough to have extensive root systems with several tubers attached to them, they're much, much harder to control.

[@atm5772]

I don't know if you've tried it, but white household vinegar is a non-toxic method for dealing with weeds. A bit of dish soap, salt and vinegar mixed together and sprayed directly on the weeds usually works.

[@deshgouri]

What timing! I was about to head out to direct sow some gomphrena. When I planted them a few weeks ago in seed trays they didn't germinate, same with my Billy Buttons :( It's getting warmer here in Australia so thought I'd give direct sowing a shot. Yours looked great and really enjoyed the video!

[@Janette0220]

mine have germinated, they took a while until its warm enough then they will emerge so as my billy buttons, but they might have been burnt by today's heat we got in Sydney good luck with your gomphrena!

[@nkj321]

@@Janette0220 Hopefully yours survived the heat! I wonder if mine either got too hot or too moist. I keep my seeds in an old empty car, and there's been a couple of warmish days in Adelaide, or I've watered them too much. Hopefully direct sowing works :)

[@Baetanical]

Thank you kindly!! I hope they germinate for you. They are worth it!

7:28 I have this little tool that pools weeds with taproots out of the ground; then I use a syringe or spray bottle and fill that weed's hole with vinegar (15% strength and higher), and sometimes it takes a few tries.
