Lowes Inventory March 2024. Spring is Here! Flowering Shrubs, Evergreens, & Summer Bulbs! 🌸🌱

[@jaygrandmont2216]

Hi, Steph! My wife and I were actually in the N. Dartmouth store yesterday and saw you filming. Keep up the good content!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Jay!! Next time, stop by and say hello, I would love to chat. Thank you so much for your kind words 💚🌱

[@jaygrandmont2216]

@@HookedandRooted We live in Buzzards Bay and most often go to the Wareham stores but do occasionally like to check out what's available in N. Dartmouth. Would have said hello but didn't want to interrupt. Maybe next time!

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Oh Steph, I absolutely when you go to different big box store and show all the scrubs, trees, bulbs and anything else you show us. You just don't know how excited I get when a new comes up Amy time of the spring, summer and fall. Thank you for sharing this with us So much hard work. ❤❤❤❤

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Judy!! I'm a so HAPPY that you enjoy these videos. Your comment made me smile, Thank you so much for watching, and for your support 💚🥰

[@lalaydade3364]

Yippee! I always enjoy seeing the garden centers new and bigger inventory. Each month we get closer to the gardening season. I have started seeds and jump started bulbs, seeing the new little green sprouts have been giving me a lot of happiness! Thanks Steph for sharing!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! Thank you so much for watching, I'm so glad you enjoy watching my tours. Yay for starting seeds and bulbs, such an exciting time of year. There really is something so special about seeing something grow from a tiny seed or a bulb. Happy Gardening! 🌱🥰

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Yes Steph. My grandpa always planted his potatoes on st. Patrick's Day. That is a very old way. My little grandpa was born in Indian Territory before Oklahoma became a state. And I still live in Okla and I'm 65.❤

[@HookedandRooted]

What a wonderful memory Judy! Thank you for sharing 💚

[@HookedandRooted]

What a great memory! Thank you so much for sharing with us 💚

[@terrinewnam203]

Great video… I’m always mystified, Steph, as you are in my same zone, and you are further north (I’m in Ohio) and your Lowe’s and Home Depot receives so much more inventory early on than we do… oh well… good to know what’s coming our way… Thank you!

[@SnappyR]

Thanks for the tour Steph - I want the Chicago Fig for sure!

[@HookedandRooted]

Me too Robyn! I've put a Chicago fig on my list for this year 🌱💚

[@msmaddox2918]

Your Lowe's has so much inventory! Thanks for taking us shopping with you Steph! 😊

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Mary! They just received this large shipment. Its just the beginning! Getting really excited for spring! 🌱

[@deannachurch1103]

I enjoy these videos, Home Depot and Lowe's, I've watched twice 🩷 great content Steph!

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Stef 🌺What abeautiful tour . I enjoyed alot .These plants are so pretty and stunning . Have agreat day . 🌷🌻🌷

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you! You too!

[@angelaengler2387]

Thanks for showing us what’s in at your local Lowes, it’s always fun seeing what will be in store for the upcoming growing season! I planted some hardy Kiwi vines several years ago and they are yummy! They’re about the size of a grape with smooth skin. I had to wait about six or seven years to finally get fruit so you DO have to be patient and perhaps only plant some if you know you’re staying put for a long time. They’re easy to grow but can be rambunctious, I have to give mine a pretty severe pruning in late winter and occasionally prune some rogue vines that are in the way during the growing months but I’ve never noticed any disease problems or pests eating the fruit 🥝

[@HookedandRooted]

How fun!! I was intrigued by the hardy kiwi vines. Thanks for sharing your experience Angela. Yes, it definitely takes time from bare root, but its an affordable way to start plants if you have time and patience.

[@jilliebean2574]

Hi Steph! I just "discovered" you and wow....I am so very impressed and can't stop watching all your content! Your knowledge is incredible and I so appreciate your helpful tips and tricks. I've been jotting notes down left and right. I am in the same zone as you (I live in PA) so it's even more helpful to see/hear what you look for, when you do things, etc. I've enjoyed watching you and George work on projects and have already placed my order for gomphrena seeds (for me and to share with others). Thank you so much for sharing your love of gardening and everything you've picked up along the way. The only thing I don't like is that your content is addictive and I find myself hours later saying I NEED to stop for the day!! Thanks again! 💞🌺🌻🌼

[@brookerlay]

As always, a fantastic shopping trip!! Thanks for shopping for us so we know what’s out there 😊

[@HookedandRooted]

My pleasure 😊

[@IndigoCobalt]

We have a few hardy kiwi plants, and last year they produced fruit! The fruit is the size of a grape, and fully edible like a grape (skin and all). It tastes just like the big 🥝! We were amazed! 🌱 We’re 🇨🇦 zone 4a, and the vines live through the winter with some dying back - but they grow vigorously!

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the kiwi! Very cool! 🌱

[@gardentours]

There is a great variety of plants 🌱 in this garden center 👍

[@AnitaSellsProperties]

I don’t like driving in snow and ice so your review of big box plants really is exciting and makes me look forward to April/May!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Anita, I'm so glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching, and happy gardening!! 🌱

[@SumaiyaS]

Loved the video. all the stores you show have lovely varieties of plants. Wish our stores carry as much as your.

[@gardenofgeni]

Love the tour! I grew the Seattle Dahlia last year and I was in awe of how beautiful it was!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! How wonderful! I googled it and it looked stunning in floret's photos so I decided to give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing your experience 🌱

[@davidoliver9395]

Yeah I can hardly wait to start planting

[@kathylahrs1189]

Hi Steph, I really enjoy this videos! So many ideas swirling around in my head.😊

[@HookedandRooted]

I'm so glad you liked it Kathy! I think we're all excited for spring. Happy Gardening! 🌱

[@T-Mo_]

Going to pick up that fig. Didn't know any figs could be grown in the north.

[@HookedandRooted]

Its worth a try! My best guess is that if planted in a south facing protected spot (not much wind), it could likely be outside year round in a zone 6. I'm going to add a chicago hardy to my list and look for a larger plant this year to try in my garden. 🌱

[@francisjoseph9642]

This video came at a good time as we planned on going to Lowe's today. Will let you know what we picked up. Thanks for the tour.

[@HookedandRooted]

Please do! Have fun!

[@francisjoseph9642]

Picked up dahlias, lilies, and zinnia seeds. Not nearly as many items as at your store. Still getting things in. Thanks, Steph!!

[@kristinepeterson6761]

So nice that Lowe’s had some different varieties than Home Depot. I love the shopping videos!

[@janeclancey8044]

Hi Steph! Glad to see all the Spring plants are in the Lowe’s where you live.. Here on the North Shore in MA, there are some garden supplies, potting soil and fertilizer. I haven’t checked Home Depot, or independent nurseries yet.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Jane! I'm sure it will begin rolling in soon. Thank you for watching 🌱

[@lovelight9164]

At my Lowe's they have a peony called coral sunset which is a gorgeous coral color. My sister has one in her yard as I recall it has a yellow center. I know it's gorgeous. I didn't see it on your trip through the packaged plants unless you just haven't gotten to it yet.

[@jolielutrario6930]

Thanks for this Lowes tour, Steph. Love the Ann Magnolia. At 8-10 feet, I'm wondering if it is more of a shrub form than a tree. The Asiatic lilies are a great deal. I'm interested in a burgundy color. Hope I come across those this season. Also, the Liatris is a plant I have always admired but have never grown. I think I will pick up a bag. Ten dollars for 40 bulbs is an ideal price!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Jolie! I agree with you, its is more of a shrub. I actually grow an Ann Magnolia in my garden, and it has a shrub shape. There are some tree varieties that have been trained that way, but most of them come in shrub form from what I see. I hope you find lilies and liatris to try near you. Thanks for watching, and have a great weekend! 🥰🌱

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

I need to get to my garden centre, could do with some beautiful Primroses 🥰 excellent selection 💕

[@jgg7377]

I really enjoyed this video, thank you for all the great information you give about each plant and helpful tips. I grew both of the dahlias you are getting this past year in a barrel type planter and they were gorgeous. I bought mine way too early, wasn’t warm enough to plant so I put them in a paper bag the way they came in a little box with peat moss and put them in my fridge bottom shelf. When I was ready to plant them I took them out and inspected them, then I always soak mine in a bucket of water for 15 minutes, it really helps to rehydrate them and plant them up. They were in my fridge for 3 months and they all came up and grew beautifully. You will be very happy with them. 🌺🌼🫶

[@bonniemort5532]

Just what I needed! I can't drive for a couple more weeks due to a broken arm and I'm dying to know what is out there waiting to be discovered. You mentioned there was a rabbit repellent you liked but I must have missed when you told the brand. We are having an early spring here in Michigan and my tulips are 4-6 inches tall already. Could you repeat what you use. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. I just discovered you by accident. Now I'll see what you showed at Home Depot. 🥰

[@Darceys_Flowers]

Oh those were some pretty dahlias you bought! Your right the colors do make it look like an egg 😅

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Oh my! This makes me so excited, Thanks

[@HookedandRooted]

Your welcome Ana! Spring is so close!! 🌱

[@ladym6738]

Appreciate mentioning what is and is not deer resistant. Blessings.

[@Linda_Reed]

Awesome tour Steph. Thanks!

[@HookedandRooted]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching Linda 🌱

[@sassafrasinspired2029]

I ate kiwis whole as a kid, fuzzy peel and all, but as an adult I developed an allergy to kiwi fruit with an anaphylactic response... Weird. P.S. Gardening in Metro West, MA. Glad to watch a fellow New Englander in your garden! I grew Dahlia Kelsey Annie Joy last year in pots; they bloomed very late and sparsely, but I replanted this year under lights and it's looking lovely. (I should probably grow it in the ground this year...)

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your memory with us .Welcome to the channel "neighbor", happy to have you here 🥰🌱💚

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Hope you had a great birthday Steph!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Rhonda!! I'm so glad you commented here. I wanted to thank you for your birthday card, it make me smile! I had a wonderful birthday. Thank you so much for thinking of me 💚

[@lovelight9164]

At my house my hostas become bunny salad. They love the brand new leaves.

[@amyjones2490]

It depends on where you live when to plant potatoes. If the foliage comes up too soon it can get frosted. I don’t plant mine until a month before my last frost. If they do come up and you have chance of frost you can cover with straw.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you, Amy!! 🌱

[@Lunar3of5]

Prairifire crabapples most definitely are a fruiting tree! It is not edible fruit for humans necessarily, but birds love the fruit. It is persistent fruit so the crabapples will cling to the branches throughout winter and won’t be messy. There are only a few crabapples that don’t produce fruit.

[@HookedandRooted]

That is correct, and while I know this, as I was reviewing fruit trees for human consumption apples/pears/peaches, and was making the comparison that this wasn't an apple tree in that sense. But absolutely a great source of food for our bird friends 🐦

[@T-Mo_]

4:30 if in the northeast google "Beech leaf disease map"

[@lynlalalala]

I am pretty sure the Prairiefire Crab Appletree produces small (tiny) fruits. 😉😉😉

[@HookedandRooted]

Yes they do! but not apples lol...small fruits for our bird friends 🐦

[@jhadz7507]

Just went to Lowe’s & picked up a few things you have shown!! But then went to Walmart & found they are cheaper at Walmart. Oh well still glad I got them! 😊

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! Oh wow good to know. My local Walmart hasn't received the summer bulbs in yet. Maybe soon. I'm glad you were able to find some things you liked 🌱🥰

[@bloom-chirp]

I know cost is always a big issue for all of us gardeners, but I wish you (& all the others too) would shop at local garden centers rather than the big box stores. Local garden centers are usually locally owned & profit stays in our own communities. Big box stores are not local & profit goes far away from home. Thanks.

[@ChristinaSokolof]

Hi Steph! Thank you for the info .How many flowers does one tuber grow ? Another question . Everyone talks about deer and rabbits killing their bulbs but my problem is voles ! They kill everything

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Christine! If your talking about the dahlias, one tuber grows a plant, and from that plant you will get multiple stems with blooms. Voles are difficult. While I don't have experience with them personally, I have heard many gardeners struggle with them. I hope someone can chime in and help with some advise on how you can remedy that in your garden.

[@kimaholland3423]

Hi Steph, if you have a chance get yourself a Snowfountains weeping cherry tree !!!

[@bjones8354]

Excellent! TY

[@user-rosesroses]

Great video. As always.

[@BobbyMammoth]

Hey Steph, love your videos. I think I’m gonna grab some of these peonies. 😝

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much!! They are a great price. The bare roots take a couple of years to pick up speed, but they are easy to grow, and all of mine with the exception of 1 peony were grown from bare root 🌱

[@trishamorris4447]

If you are in the south and you have a lidl they have great prices on bulbs. 3 for 3.99 and 10 for 8.99 I picked up yellow dahlias, peach dahlias, lilies, hostas, alliums, a really neat pastel gladiolus. Check them out!!!!!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Trisha! I'm in the Northeast, but thank you for sharing for our Southern gardening friends 🥰

[@mariacosta6086]

Great video ❤️❤️❤️

[@lisak9013]

I picked up a cafe au lait dahlia at our Lowe's today. I see a shoot already coming up on one of the tubers so I'm hoping it will be ok to stay in the bag until I'm ready to plant in April (last frost date here is Apr 1)

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Lisa, that's normal. Just keep it in a paper bag in a cool dark place until your ready to plant. Thanks for watching!

[@kp-gbuniqueinterest]

Im so Jelly of Steph. She lives in the state next to me and same zone now but she gets everything before we do. I did check HD. and was able to get some dahlias today. They didnt have them when you got them. This will be my 1st year with these types of bulbs. Edit: Do you or can you make video on how you prep them in the fall. Im getting into a lot of bulbs I need to bring in the winter this year. For my coleuse and other annuals i be taking cuttings and storing them in my basement greenhouse. But no well educated on these summer bulbs.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thanks for watching. I made a video on how I store & overwinter my Dahlias. This method works for other types of bulbs as well. Check it out, maybe it will answer some of your questions. Thanks. kzbin.info/www/bejne/roiXpaZ8iayNmaM

[@claudycee]

Hi Steph! I tried growing dahlias a few years ago and they all got powdery mildew. I’m in 7b on Long Island and we have very humid summers. Any tips if I try again?

[@Mominna2314]

Thank you Steph for the bulb inventories. What is thie difference between dahlia tubers and clumps? I'm confused?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hello! the dahlia tubers tend to look like clumps when purchased in these packages.

[@annaizak8639]

I bought dahlias for the first time. I don’t have any experience. Do you have video about how to plant them?

[@HookedandRooted]

HI Anna! I sure do, here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4PCmoNqaqyNf8Usi=pp4QWlhLtRiPDOrJ

[@teresaseggerman9402]

Please, when doing these inventory tours, could you mention the zine you are in. Things at Lowe's vary from zone to zone.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Teresa, I do mention it as I'm showing plants.

[@deborahioli3010]

Like your review and sale info. However, I think you mixed up the flowering pear info. The Cleveland pear is known for splitting, the Bradford pear was developed as alternative. At least that is what I have experienced and been told by nurseries.

[@vbachman6742]

Bradford pear is on the invasive list for most of the US. It also is a weak tree that splits easily in storms.

[@tarashewchuk6410]

I'm planning on gardening for the first time this spring. My question is why plants are already for sale. We can't plant them until May, right? Is there any advantage to buying the plants now? Thanks!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there, Correct. Most of these can't be planted out until all chance of frost has passed in your gardening zone. You can find your gardening zone here: planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/ and you can also determine your last frost date here: www.almanac.com/gardening/frostdates The only advantage to purchasing these bulbs now, is selection availability. Hope this helps. Happy gardening!! 🌱

[@gwen6518]

Hi Steph i love kiwi but was told by my Dr that if your allergic to bananas kiwi can also cause allergic reactions. Thought i would share this just in case any of your viewers have a banana allergy like me 😊

[@maritastreet1385]

I am asking you because we are in zone 6 I live in Worcester, Massachusetts can you grow Dahlia in grow bags?

[@HookedandRooted]

Yes, you sure can. Be sure to stake taller varieties. Tomato cages in grow bags might be a good option for staking. They prefer full sun. Happy Gardening! 🌱

[@DanaLynnette]

Hello, when will your area begin to sell hydrangeas?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Dana! By mid April or so I begin seeing them show up here in my zone .

[@margolyn8291]

❤many people eat the kiwi peel

[@sokchan9372]

❤️❤️👍👍

[@tammycolvin2343]

Hardy until the deer eat them

[@simonemancini8993]

Se avessi più terreno e non facessi le ferie le comprerei tutte 😅

[@argosaha9318]

First you must say what zone you are in or what town, otherwise your comments are not helpful

[@HookedandRooted]

Hello! I actually tell you what zone I'm in as I naturally go about discussing the plants. I do these very organically based on my experience with the plants. If you watch the video you will catch me mentioning my growing zone a few times. If you skip around, you'll miss it. I also reference the plants hardiness zone which helps tell you if they can be grown in your zone. A simple google search can help locate your growing zone.
