You know, you are not alone in your wanting to apologize for everything that is not done. And you are certainly not alone in comparing to others. In fact, I have had the thought as I watch some of yours that I should do better because your beds are so nice. It's normal. But then I remember that everyone is in a different stage of life and what is getting thrown at them. So, learn from what others have done, but be happy and feel blessed with what you have and what you have done. There is beauty all around you, even amongst the weeds. As you talked about in your last video - contentment. I like growing sweet peas and will be growing again this year. I may try starting them indoors rather than direct sowing though. Good video Ma'am.

Forgot to mention my peas get 3 hours of shade every day and it's from 4-6(blocked by my roof) then evening sun. So take that into consideration, our summers get very hot they can reach 118 or a bad summer but usually 98-103 is our usual and I get 6 weeks of perfect blooms.

You do such a wonderful job gardening and teaching others. You have so many great tips! Your flower farm and garden are so beautiful, as our your bouquets.💚🥀🌺 Sweet peas are one of my favourites and are one of the cottagey flowers that I grew up with, and I still plant them in the garden. I really relate to what you are saying. I have always been the sort of person to rationalize things if I believe something isn't as perfect as I expect it to be, particularly with my creative skills - especially gardening. During my lifetime I have tried to work on not always not always expecting everything to be 'perfect' as trying to accomplish this can make our journey through life very tiring! We need to find joy and peace with our personal accomplishments; not be as hard on ourselves. No one is perfect. 💚

The hours I spent on studying each plant, flower, seed, and bush… and then drought came with a vengeance. I’m still mad… I was tempted to yank everything up and walk away, but my husband said to wait until spring to see what survived. So, yes, i can totally understand the frustration

Oh dear, that's so hard, I get it, we lost a ton to a drought a few years ago but I was surprised on how much ended up coming back the next year. I think the key is to get your perennials established in fall and then add in your annuals in spring. If you have had die off id say fill your bed with easy sowing annuals this spring, plan out what needs replaced as far as perennials and plant new in fall. Good luck my friend!

So glad to have found a grower near me --Im in Newberg so we aren't far away from Rickreall at all, and I think our growing climate is identical. Did I hear you correctly that the seedlings you plant outside just go directly into the ground or do you dig a deep trench and put fertilizer/compost in first. I am just a home gardener and would want all mine to be planted out in the yard. I get mine to sprout fine--I do exactly as you do--soak for 24 hours. But have had them just "sit" when I plant them out. So I think your video has helped see why! And I have tried them in large pots this year and they are blooming like crazy and six feet high climbing obelisks! Love it!

Even in a small home garden, we’re always looking to perfection. Nature. Humanity itself means flawed. But when that process goes right… it’s the ultimate pat in the back! It’s like her flowers are a smile and a thank you. It’s almost as if she says “thanks mom, watch me shine” then it’s hard to cut 🤦‍♀️ but I can’t get enough of gardening! You guys too huh?

I am watching this video because sweet peas are one of my favorite flowers but I have never gotten them to grow here in Fountain Co. I have learned it’s too hot from watching another channel but hopefully if I start them indoors very very early and plant them before the last frost date MAYBE I can enjoy them for a short time. I am having a hard time because I am wanting to learn about ways of growing sweet peas but you aren’t even showing the planting them and you are rambling so I can’t even keep track. What growing zone are you in? EDIT: ok, so I commented too soon, shortly after commenting you got down to business. Your sweet peas are gorgeous. I am saving this video for reference early, early next spring when I attempt to grow them. I don’t have a lot of hope because we do feed birds, I’ll have to keep an eye out. The unofficial rule for planting here is Mothers Day but then it starts getting hot pretty soon after, I’ll try for beginning of April (dirty month for sweet peas), maybe even end of March, we’ll see what the weather is. We are zone 5b-6a. Next I am watching your other sweet pea video. I’ve learned we have to dig deep down and add good compost to feed the roots then mulch on top. I am excited to give it a try, I have nothing to lose and everything to potentially gain. Thank you. 💕

Peas love cold. My last frost date is may 15 I'm in eastern wa, I plant my peas out 6 weeks before. They can tolerate cold weather they actually really love it. If it gets really chilly under 35 I usually throw over a frost blanket just in case but they need cold to develop stronger roots to survive the hot summers. Hope that helps:)

Mariann, don't loose heart my friend, its a learning curve for sure. Sweet peas like a bit of cold for sure, but if you plant with a few hours of shade in the PM, hot part of the day that will protect the roots from the really hot we get and should give you a longer bloom time. We have a PNW flower meet up this month at OSU that will help you with growing issues in your area, PM me on IG if you want more information.

You mentioned that you spray the leaves with a weak fish emulsion. Does the fish smell linger on the plants? Do you have to rinse them off to make sure the stems don't go to the customer smelling like fish?

It doesn't, Its really week and only smells for a short time, like a day. We spray lower areas as they mature, close to ground were aphids get going first and we don't cut that low anyway in the harvest season. Hope that helps, its hard to explain. ill try and do a video on it this season.

Good morning Beth! The weather is quite cold and I have been thinking a lot about starting seeds indoors. I have some sweet pea seeds to plant this year and your video was quite helpful. I have never grown sweet peas and have learned a lot about them. As far as your thoughts on if you are a good enough gardener...I think we all have those thoughts with everything in our lives. Is my house nice enough, is my cooking good enough, is my sewing good enough, the work I do at my job. Good grief! No wonder I feel like a mess every now and then! 😄 Have a wonderful day! ❤

Where is she located and her zone? I always want to know before subscribing. I winter sow my sweet peas successfully here in 7b-8a MS but I just installed raised beds so will also plant them up. My issue is getting them to last in our heat.

Hello, I'm in the Willamette valley of Oregon zone 8B On our farms average last frost date is April 18th and first frost date is Oct 30th. I think fall sowing is best in your area for early spring blooms but if you plant with afternoon shade you should get a longer bloom time. Good Luck my friend!

Hi Beth. I can't wait to watch the video. I love your channel so much and PLEASE don't take this the wrong way but why is the intro/music so somber sounding and melancholy ? You're personality and the channel content are so inspiring and enjoyable. I've noticed alot of the videos start this way. I miss your old upbeat and fun intro from about a year ago. The one with the great music and pictures. 😁 Either way of course I'll keep watching. 😁😃 You are the best!!! ❤

My son Brayden edits and I think he is finding his way still with style, I agree I do like the happy tunes in the beginning and our intro, I think we will just revamp it a little and try and get something up soon. Thanks for the feedback!

So for a 10 stem bunch how much do you charge? I just subscribed im so excited bc i have several baby sweet peas right now. 'Mermaids Dream' color blend/Mammoth from Renee's Garden Seeds & Salmon colored Mammoth seeds from a local flower farmer.

@crowleyhouseflowerfarm 10 ай бұрын
So we do a 10 stem bunch on the vine for around 15.00 each, and if it's just the flower stems, it's bunched in 15 stems for around 10.00 each

I feel quite appreciative, too, that I get to grow so much. Unfortunately, there is no room for mining/storing dirt--but one day there will be! You are so kind to share info with me!

You are correct, you do not need to soak the seeds, they do well just planting straight into the ground or pots.
