Our Dahlia Enters Production🌸Waxed Amaryllis, Forcing Forsythia in Winter, Growing Mushrooms & More

Today we're propagating & forcing forsythia, growing mushrooms, seeing 'Northlawn Saving Grace' dahlia propagation at Jung Seed, checking on our waxed amaryllis, and viewing the results of the cut poinsettia experiment. I've also redesigned the garden library!

Here is an old video where I’m potting up ‘Northlawn Saving Grace.’ She was grown from seed that a friend sent me! kzbin.info/www/bejne/in7VfI2Xjr6Lb9Efeature=shared

[@marymurphy4825]

That was fun to see! Thanks for that recap. 😍

[@BTFflowerfarm]

Aww Danielle! I’m sitting here tearing up as I watch this! What a beautiful, full circle story! Your grandmother would be so proud and honored. 💗 I’m so happy for you! Thanks for all the updates. This was a fun video with lots of elements! But my favorite part was hearing about those special memories of your grandma. Isn’t it funny the things we remember?

[@mygardeninbloom]

Oh my goodness! Northlawn Saving Grace is on it's way to being a full grown dahlia. Hope to one day be able to purchase a tuber and tell the story of how it came to be. Thank you for taking us on its journey. 🌸💗🌸

[@dianegreiner4054]

Danielle, that is so cool that Northlawn Saving Grace is being propagated! Congratulations!!! 😊

[@beverlyabner3307]

So heartwarming because we live in an age when kids are not even caring about their legacy you can't even beg them to take something that their grandmother had I just love you you are such a great person and I am so grateful and I passed your video on to my daughter who is trying to start a farm and I know she will love your channel!!!

[@terrihart2133]

I did the same. But because she was asking me about amaryllis, and I told her this gal is the queen of Amaryllis.❤

[@cindybohl9593]

Wow! What an honor to have your own dahlia! Your grandma would be so proud! Always enjoy your videos!

[@bohemiangardensandgourdfar8812]

To have created your own dahlia is really special but, then to have it possibly (probably) go to market is beyond awesome! Congratulations on a job very well done. 👍

[@janereel1903]

I enjoyed hearing about the history of the name of your garden (Grandma) and the ways in which you honor her. I'd like it if you could put those tidbits into an addendum somewhere on your home page. I love knowing about a gardener's motivations (as much as you care to share). How nice that your grandma was such a presence in your life!

[@laurieh9388]

Congratulations Danielle! Saving Grace dahlia at Jung seed, and all you other successes. Love their catalog! Way to go

[@betsymaltby6788]

I feel like I always make the same or similar comment. I think your content is so engaging because you take us on the journey, you inspire, you teach and share personal stories that many can relate. And of course, you follow up with your experiments & projects; the legwork you put in and then sharing the results is extremely helpful. The best part, most everything you do is attainable for the average home gardener. Thank you!!

[@GardeningOnTaylorMountain]

Wow, I am blown away and smiling from ear to ear concerning the beautiful story of your Grandma, Jung Seed and Northlawn Saving Grace. The Lord places us in the right families and I love how your gardening story is so intertwined with your Grandma. So extremely heart warming ❤️

[@nilukaperera7739]

Congratulations on the Saving Grace Dahlia! Your hard work is paying off!

[@patcoll247]

Danielle - just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your videos. You truly are a wonderful knowledgeable gardener and come from a family of gardeners. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

[@tinabambrough25]

Congratulations on your partnership with Jungs! I can't wait to see Northlawn Saving Grace dahlia in the store. Do you know when they are hoping to have this available? Thanks for sharing your story about your grandma. My grandma just turned 94. We would go flower shopping the week before mothers day and we would fill the whole vehicle. She has been in a nursing home the last few years so we don't go anymore.

[@marybeth4002]

Such a beautiful story about your garden and your grandmother's inspiration of it all. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, I have really enjoyed it all.

[@Jessica-wq7mj]

I am weeping listening to your grandmas legacy ❤ I hope one day to be the kind of grandma who is so adored.

[@pradnyamarathe2002]

I am so happy that your efforts are being recognized. I hope that, one day, I can buy Saving Grace and grow the beautiful flowers.

[@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994]

Danielle what a wonderful expression of true love for your grandmothers memory. Congratulations on your dahlia heading to be marketed . Earmark one for me…feel like I know the developer and it means much more with these memories attached.

[@CarmenGarcia-n5q]

What an honor to your grandma! I can’t wait to see and buy your northlawn saving grace dahlia in the market ❤

[@tinaryan4917]

You look just like your grandma 🥺 What precious memories you have!! 🥰 It is a blessing that you can keep her close through gardening and sharing those memories with all of us, thank you ❤

[@mariannmarquard2750]

Congratulations, Danielle! It is so exciting to see your Dahlia heading to market.

[@marymurphy4825]

Hi Danielle I love your new garden library plans! Looking forward to seeing that! I forced forsythia for an Easter arrangement once and it was beautiful. I've cut its bare branches in winter to make some garden obelisks too. Im very excited and so happy for you to have Jung seed propagating your Saving Grace Dahlia tuber! Its truly a blessing and naming it North lawn saving grace is extra special. What an extra blessing to be tied to your grandmothers legacy. Your story was amazing. Thanks for the poinsettia update, I was wrong guessing the rooted ones would last the longest. Good luck with your mushroom kit. Last year you had great success and cooked them up! Yum. Hope you got to Grace before she ate something she shouldn't have!! Thanks for another great video. 😍

[@FlowerPatchFarmhouse]

Can’t wait until we can add Northlawn Saving Grace to our gardens! My grandmother also was instrumental in my gardening love and life. When she passed I was given her old videos (the old type on reels) of me (3 years old) walking among her beloved Iris, and then stopping to point my hand up to them while smiling at the camera (Vanna White style on Wheel of Fortune) and then later in the season it was of her Dahlias. When she could no longer live on her own and moved in with my dad, we had to sell her farm. There was an old red rose that grew beside her well house, my husband broke 3 shovels digging that up for me to bring home. It is the pride and joy of my garden.

[@GloriaHathor]

CONGRATULATIONS ON "NORTHLAWN SAVING GRACE"!!!!!! VERY, VERY COOL!!!!!!

[@tahoe13868]

Such great stories about your grandma and I love how everything is coming around full circle! Very interested to see 10 day results on your pointsettia experiment - you are helping us all!! Love you and your channel and of course sweet Grace. 💐🏵🌻🌿

[@suekrebs3497]

As a Wisconsite, we are proud of Jung seed. We are growing their trees, shrubs, seeds, perennials, etc. You know it is spring when you take a trip up to Randolph, Wisconsin, and go into their bare root room to select your plants. It is great that a family business is working with you on Northlawn Saving Grace!

[@QueenAnnesLace13]

Oh Danielle, how exciting, looking forward to the dahlias!!💮🌸💗

[@daygirl2659]

I’m so excited to see all the new things that are happening in your garden. I would love to one day be able to grow Northlawn Saving Grace Dahlias 💖

[@chrishardman586]

So happy for you. Maybe some of your fans can grow Northlawn Saving Grace in the future!

[@MariMari-vq8hl]

I need to search her videos to see what these look like blooming 😊

[@darlenemc3586]

I love your channel. I learn so much from you. I enjoy your gentle spirit, it is soothing. God Bless

[@Kay-qt2id]

Wish I could get saving grace in Australia. I’m about to be a grandma for the first time and the love you have for your nana is just beautiful, I hope I can do as good a job. She was obviously a very kind woman.

[@Bao_Tram]

Love your indoor gardening projects! ❤ Winter is the time for propagating, forcing things indoors and experimenting!

[@SBgardener]

Congratulations Danielle!! This is so exciting! I'm hoping to be able to purchase Northlawn Saving Grace from Jung Seed one day!

[@conniecoolbaugh4823]

Hi Danielle! I am in Lancaster County, Pa and have been following you for a very long time. Really appreciate and enjoy all your videos, time, hard work and love the places you visit to film! Love all your new projects in your own gardens. I must ask...are you the girl we see in a couple commercials in our local area? Either she's you or you have an exact twin. Blessings!

[@TheGardeningSisters]

Congratulations on your Dahlia production. So exciting ! 🤗

[@alisonbwise]

That's so exciting, Danielle 🏵 Congratulations!!! And I love the idea of a mantel, I think it will actually look better that way, plus it will help to keep out any creeping damp 💚

[@susannewlove2115]

I think I gave every comment a thumbs up as this was heartwarming as can be! Good idea to take your time to figure out the interior of The Garden Library at Northlawn!

[@carolfield8803]

You are freaking incredible. Not all notice the dots of life coming together. You are very special. Blessings and love to you.

[@jeannet9592]

Gosh, what a story, Danielle! All of the connections, the way lives are woven together.

[@amyhoff1501]

What a beautiful thing you are doing to honor your grandma and I think you have everything to do with it , not just along for the ride

[@amyjones2490]

How exciting for you to have a dahlia you named in production!

[@darlenetrowsse9269]

What a wonderful story about your Grandmother and her seed catalogs!

[@StudioPashnada]

How exciting to have your own dahlia going into production!! I somehow missed the process of you coming up with it ~ I've heard you mention the name but have no idea how it came to be.

[@MariMari-vq8hl]

I was just looking into the comments to see the backstory myself! Glad you asked this. I like how he added that they would add to the name Northlawn’s Saving Grace. I’m going to assumed Grace part is for her fur baby 😊

[@backyardsnackyard]

How wonderful that Northlawn Saving Grace is bring propagated! Congratulations!!

[@soniewhitten4844]

great video, thanks for sharing.

[@gardensglory1229]

Danielle again congratulations on your saving grace dahlia! I really think the unprocessed poinsettia looks much better than the other two. So happy for you and your garden library! You seem like such a sweet person. You deserve all your successes. Deanna

[@judyfick2967]

Excited about your dahlia!

[@uteberg4781]

I looked at the newspaper article on the screen and I thought, that your smile is so similar to your grandmothers! 💖🌸

[@susannewlove2115]

You are right! I zoomed in as I saw the same smile as Danielle’s 😊

[@gardentherapySOS]

I love how you are carrying on your grandmother's legacy. I'm sure she would be so proud.

[@AlexasGarden]

I looked at the calendar and made sure it was winter. I watched this video and was convinced that now is the time for spring work in the garden! Am I doing something wrong :)

[@ElizabethEngstrom-k5b]

What a touching story! Praying for success with propagating Saving Grace.🙏❤🙏 I have really enjoyed watching all of your videos and you have inspired me to grow plants from seed. You are so amazing and incredibly talented! Oh, and I love Grace!🐾🥰 She is precious and reminds me of my Weimaraner, Bridget.

[@kellymeyers6548]

Congratulations! HOW EXCITING! I love your stories of your Grandmother. I can deeply relate to that relationship.

[@janicekeisler9225]

Hi Danielle! Thank you for providing us with so much knowledge about plants. Really like your “experiments” and learn so much from them. This segment was so full-the garden library plan (love it), poinsettia follow-up, rosemary and forsythia, waxed amaryllis vs. bulbs, the news of a Northlawn saving grace dahlia, etc. you are a great teacher and learner!

[@carlas872]

Congratulations Danielle on Saving Grace! That's so exciting!!! I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤

[@grisespino5342]

Congratulations on "Saving Grace" dahlia Danielle. Looks like your beloved Grandmother's legacy is in good hands. Interesting the poinsettia with roots did the worst. That peachy color is beautiful.

[@gardengirl7446]

❤ miss D ❤ excellent forsythia tips. We have a big vacant field near our home where people walk dogs....I'm thinking that field really needs some forsythia and daffodils!

[@merrillmcnicholas3385]

I just watched your most recent video and enjoyed it. I've become a subscriber and have learned many new things as I watch. I am a retired horticulturist, worked at a large arboretum in the midwest and know that you never quit learning in this field. Your enthusiasm is infectious and your willingness to try new things and share what you learn is a great example to us all.Not everyone does that. Your video about how flowers and plants saved you rang so true for me (and I am sure others). I was a mid life career changer-at my lowest point and found horticulture through a split second decision I made to enroll in a horticulture program. It was like an audible "click that could be felt" and I've never looked back. In my earlier years (20's) nothing really felt right but I didn't know how "right" can feel until my mid thirties and-boom- there horticulture was -to save me. In fact to me this feeling and hort. field in the early days of my education and work reminded me of a particular image. Here it is-I'm in a dark wood and all of a sudden off in the distance is a cabin with a light glowing from within and it draws me near. Nobody can take that from me. Keep up the great videos- I love watching your progress.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Oh wonderful about NorthLawn Saving Grace dalhia ! Congratulations! ❄️🌲💚🙃

[@helenpetersen7174]

Also, I have 2 antique folding chairs that can be folded and out the way, something to consider, they are not "big" but r nice. Hopefully U can find some similar. Your in the antique capital of the world right? lol

[@carlosu8229]

We love your videos and personal experiences! I didn't know I can root rosemary cuttings in just water! Lol. Thank you, thank you Danielle

[@marlenegoho1778]

Congratulations on Saving Grace! Me too, grew up in a large Italian family. My grandma was a good gardener…for a long while I had her phlox in my yard, eventually losing it. But I like to think I got my green thumb from her.

[@latonyae8162]

Congratulations on Saving Grace dahlia production, this is so exciting and what an blessing of achievement and a beautiful story and legacy of your grandmother. As for the poinsettias, I'm shock too about the one with the roots wilting😮 the other two look great. I can't imagine why that happened, but it seems the other two methods are the better way to go. Thank you for also including the link to the video for Saving Grace dahlia.🎉

[@marybutz7687]

Congratulations on your dahlia being propagated! I love your family connections. I cherish the memories of my grandparents in their gardens. Thank you!

[@helenpetersen7174]

I have an electric fire place that is a heater and it is really nice, they come in many styles, I think you will be happy with that. No flames to worry over. Good job for getting your namesake tubers into production. Have a blessed day. Thank you for the video.

[@Bluemagilla]

Thank you Danielle. You are very sweet for sharing all the stories about your grandma. It warms my heart to see how much you care about her. (And I hope Grace didn’t get into anything too crazy :)

[@eileenchang2173]

Hi Danielle, I also have a forsythia plant that is over 30 years old. You have just saved me from almost buying another one! Thanks for the tips! 🥰🌸🇨🇦

[@MK-wm6gu]

So are you going to sell the dahlia seed? I think I missed something along the way. I was not on KZbin much for awhile, so you might have explained all this in a video that I missed. At any rate, this sounds like something pretty amazing, so congratulations!

[@jenns4704]

Hi there, Sorry I am little slow leaving a comment on your video. I think a problem you may be having with the poinsettia that has its full root system in water is a possible build up of carbon dioxide. You said you hadn’t changed the water and the top growth looked pretty robust over the top of the vase. You may be lacking air exchange the same as a waterlogged plant in soil.

[@Vicfric]

I had beautiful White Candle amaryllis this year. They are beautiful but about half way through the life of the flower stalk it suddenly started to tip over. Not the entire bulb, just the flower stalk itself. Do you know why this happens? It was in plenty of light and actually started to tip away from the light. I am confused.

[@gardenknitter4]

I got those waxed amaryllis for the first time last year from Costco. Once they were done blooming I noticed, while the leaves did not grow, they did not die. I decided to put them in my garage in the hopes of planting them outside in my flower garden come spring. Much to my surprise, they seemed to enter this state of suspended animation. The leaves didn’t grow but they didn’t die, either. When it was time, I peeled them and planted in the ground. They spent the garden season growing but not blooming so the day before the first heavy frost, I dug them up and put them back in my garage. The leaves died off and are now ready to flower again.

[@IGmuse]

Congratulations, how exciting to have your beautiful dahlia out in the world! About the roots in the vase, as I understand it, water roots and soil roots are different so maybe the poinsettia is going to be sad until it puts out some new roots that are better for living in water. I wonder if a humidity dome (I’m thinking just a plastic bag) would help it in the meantime.

[@renejohnson37]

That’s so great Danielle. Congrats on Northlawn Saving Grace. Love your idea for the garden library.

[@jomassey4207]

What a wonderful gift to have a dahlia named after your Grandma. So much to look forward to. Happy New Year from New Zealand 🎉

[@MikeOrganic]

What are your thoughts on a small wood burning stove? They make really small ones that would be great for that space. Amazing video as always!

[@Cherryparfait41]

Jung seed catalogs were mainstays for my MIL (My garden mentor and guru). I would treasure the opportunity to meet him. ♥️

[@mibatey]

Congrats on your dahlia going out into the world! How exciting that must be. 🙂 Make sense the poinsettia results, they’re not happy when overwatered so their roots probably don’t enjoy sitting in water. On the other hand, you could root a cutting in water so not searing the ends works too.

[@michellesolheim9984]

Congratulations on your Northlawn Flower Farm Saving Grace Dalia!!!

[@eddiefniii]

My amaryllis are blooming too. Pull off the yellow stamens as soon as they open. Flowers will last much longer. Any florist that’s good will do the same for any lily/easter/asiatic etc. the yellow will stain if you don’t remove it as soon as they open. The longer they are on the flower the more pollen they create! Just slide them off

[@dg8828]

I have had great luck with transplanting waxed amaryllis. The last ones I did blossomed twice last year in the early spring and again in this fall. I be interested in how your's fare.

[@oksanaklein4867]

I noticed the same that waxed amaryllis’s blooms are much smaller. I did not like them waxed, I had to take wax out of some and replant them to pots as they looked so pathetic.

[@WiscoGarden]

I’ve been waiting for this update! I’ve been waiting to cut mine to see what happens!! ❤️

[@tinah8065]

The poinsettia experiment is going opposite of what I thought was going to happen. Is the rooted one drying up or is it like an overwatered unhappy plant? Very interesting!

[@lindaga820]

Danielle, I am so happy for you !! Love the choice of putting the mantel in your garden library.

[@danmartin9558]

Have you tried effective microbiology or em 1. Will extend cut flowers.

[@dianepuskas6362]

So exciting that Northlawn Saving Grace that is going to production with Jung Seed!

[@amythompson7700]

I learned something about propagating Dahlias today. Yay!

[@UrbanCountryStyleByJudy]

I learned a few years ago from my nursery that pointsettias don’t like their roots wet. Perhaps the roots are more sensitive than the stem?

[@pocketsofmayhem]

I suspect that the poinsettia with roots is too wet. When we grow them at the greenhouse they are allowed to dry somewhat between waterings.

[@roxanneroehrig324]

Thank you soooo much for sharing the update on conditioning poinsettias as a cut flower!!!! Love your mantle idea for the library cottage ❤. I share your excitement about having Jung Seed producing your 'Northlawn Amazing Grace' dahlia !!!!

[@cathyhatfield5340]

Congratulations that’s really awesome!👍😎❤️

[@jucjuc314]

When I have heard that Jung seed is going to put 'Northlawn' in front of Saving Grace in the name I straight knew what does that mean for you, for the legacy of your grandma. 😍 How great is that!! Another happy day!! 🤗 Greetings, Judit

[@angelaengler2387]

I am so excited and happy for you Danielle! I will be sure to order a Northlawn Saving Grace dahlia when it is available 😃CONGRATULATIONS!!!❤️💐

[@dksgardenoasis]

How exciting to have Jung seed propagate "Saving Grace". Amazing! And thanks for the forsythia tips. I'm going to try it!

[@kathyhouck2408]

Danielle, this is so exciting! Your dahlia is being propagated by Jung Seed! I love your thoughts on the library with a mantle included on the bookcase wall. You are inspiring my to think of new ways to see my own gardens. Bless you Dear Heart. I will be watching and waiting for Northlawn Saving Grace dahlia in the Jung seed catalog in the future. Have a lovely day ❤

[@wbflowersvt]

So exciting about Northlawn Saving Grace! Total wild guess, but I wonder if the issue with the poinsettia with roots is lack of oxygen? My gosh, girl, you have more projects going :) Thanks for bringing us along for all of them.

[@katherinecornette5315]

Okay then, some forsythia & rosemary cuttings would be lovely in my dining room 😊Excited to see your dahlia being propagated!
