I always get so excited when you post a new video ! I can’t find anyone that draws me in like you ! Your a gay boys dream!

[@joannenardoni17]

She is all our dream. And love her flowers

[@janetknight2090]

Hi Sweet Pea. My favorite flower. I have about 100 bushes around my garden. Make wedding bouquets with bunch of lavender on the inside and white roses around the edge. Don’t forget when you pull the leaves off the bottom after cutting they can go straight into organza bags. I also make lavender wands and tea bags for wedding favors. Make lavender shoe bags for your smelly shoes. Lavender kills the bacteria which causes the smell. Dry the flowers upside down for putting in bouquets between seasons. I could go on and on. You could have a whole new business just with your lavender 🥰💜

[@FlowerHillFarm]

🥰💐💟 I can’t wait!

[@wordvendor1]

Wow, thanks for the tip! I'm so ditzy, I'd have dropped and wasted all that loveliness!

[@MrsLovelyPendragon]

The ending had me in stitches 😂 here lemme add some too... Lavender paper, Lavender perfume, Lavender dried, Lavender crowns, Lavender seasoning, Lavender dyed fabric, Lavender resin bracelets, Lavender resin rings, Lavender bug spray.. That was fun tehee 🤭

[@zaria5785]

And some more 😬: Lavender essence facial/room spray, lavender wreathes, lavender crowns, lavender ice cream, lavender frozen ice cubes, lavender frosting 🧁

Great Video I enjoyed watching it. I would like to make one suggestion drill a hole in the bottom of the pot and attache a knob or a kitchen cupboard handle to your pot it will make your job easier.

Looking forward to doing this this year. I've been searching for the best way to plant my lavender field.

Cant wait to see these grown up! I have always wanted a Lavender hedge ever since seeing the hedge beside Laura's fence around her vegetable garden & I finally invested in some Lavender plants to do so! I can't wait! 👏

[@janwilletts1986]

How lovely to plant all that lavender, thinking of the lavender fields of Provence…..I grow Munstead Hidcote and lavandula grosso here in the uk. French lavenders and white lavender seem much more prone to the cold weather. It’s so easy to grow from cuttings too. In the uk we trim back after flowering , I always wait till the bees have gone- the flowers are alive with them.

[@Lotsielots]

Yep here in England the white and butterfly lavendar are much weedier and don't grow so well. They can't handle the winters.

[@kimberlycalloway4562]

Lol!!!! You reminded me of Bubba Gump with all your lavender ramblings! Love the silliness! Keep the laughs coming!!!!

[@sarahlovesdonuts9601]

I can’t imagine how funny you must have been as a kid…I LOVE your humor! In case you haven’t noticed, I rewatch your videos when I’m looking for specific info. I’m sure that balancing all of your responsibilities is impossible, so I’m super grateful for all that I receive from you. Stay funny and family focused. 🙏🙏💗💗

[@wordvendor1]

Yay, lavender!! You'll get so much comfort from the pleasing aroma, they'll find you snoozing neath the yon lavender fields. 💜💤

[@artistinagarden]

OOOHHH GIRL!!! I LOVE Lavender 💞 I only have a hedge of 5 Hidcote but they are my babies! Not that they need any attention, they just grow and are beautiful and smell wonderful and and and...lol! There is a Lavender farm down the road from us, hey...It's called Lavender Hill Farm, lol kinda cool!

[@chrifel7127]

hidcote lavender comes in white and pale pink too……..it might be worth a try 😉

[@gardenjourney1489]

Give me all things lavender!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜 I didn't realize there were so many different kinds and that it's hard to overwinter them! No wonder I've always struggled! Thankful for the tips, and I can't wait to see these plants grow!!!

[@megc6918]

I heart your sense of humor! You are my spirit animal. Can not wait to see this lavender!!

Love hidcote. Deep purple and very fragrant!!

[@pennyemery3286]

So looking forward to seeing your lavender in full bloom

[@UnderAPileOfScrap]

That is going to be an amazing lavender field in a couple years! I planted a lavender plant years ago and it didn’t survive the first year. Fast forward to 2019 when I ordered a lavender plant. Planted it right away in the fall. Last year it survived and I didn’t do anything to it except cut the flowers, but it had more than doubled in size…this year, I trimmed it back in spring and it is massive now! The blooms are about ready to pop any day now. I’m so excited, so I understand your excitement for all your little babies to get bigger.

[@MikeStoffer]

Terrific video ! Sitting on a picnic table in a lavender field would be like a paradise.

[@mikalademarchi697]

Yes picnic table would be wonderful!

[@dc0145a]

Went to Laromay Lavender Farm NH today. Absolutely stunning. English Lavender Hidcote in full bloom; French Lavender Phenomenol will be in a couple weeks. Lavender ice cream-- delicious.

[@helenlatimer9601]

Thank you so much for these fabulous videos! You really brighten up my day! Especially when I’m at home stuck resting due to chronic pain. I love gardening and you have helped me so much in that journey. My Hubby helps me a lot with all the heavy work while I do the seed growing and designing. I’d like to grow cut flowers, so I’m interested in how you grow them. Just like you’ve grown this lavender field for your sister I’d like to put a few posy’s together for friends and family, it’s so nice to give flowers to cheer people. X lots of love Helen (UK). 🧚🏼‍♂️🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♂️

It is now end of February 2023. This winter I bought some Hidcote Blue lavender from Veseys. Am thinking of starting some soon, even though our last frost is end of May.

[@sonyamartin6217]

I am so jelly about your lavender! I sprouted about 108 plants this spring, but they are dwindling down are weather and the wind and frying in the sun sigh… survival of the fittest for my lavender lol. Blessings 💗 🌱🧩🔆

[@puertorican1961]

You can do a lavender themed Cut Flower Party with lavender lemonade, and/or lavender cocktails, mini lavender butter cream cupcakes, lavender scones, and much more all while folks put together a bouquet, a lavender sachet, and/or lavender rice pillows for body aches, headaches, and for a warm calming effect. I am SO jelly! Wish I was there but it is a bit too far for me to head over there for this, lol. I am in Sacramento California 😥😣. But I am always so excited to see what you are planting and harvesting. I absolutely LOVE your gorgeous bouquets and your build a bouquet porch parties. I am happy to see that you are successful and prospering at something that you truly love, that feeds your soul, helps to take care of regional pollinators, and potentially brings in more wildlife (birds, and good bugs) as a result, and helps the earth all at the very same time. I am inspired. 🌞😎😊😍🌸🌻🌿🌷🐞🌼🌳🌹🌾💐🐝

We are zone 9b. We are getting to 120° on Friday 🥵 happy gardening to you! I'd love to plant some lavender too!

[@suzanneb5229]

The lavender will be so beautiful. I only have 3 plants and love them. The rabbits and squirrels stay away which is a plus. I have an unrelated question, how are your lisianthus doing? I never heard of them before watching your video planting them so I thought I'd give a try. I planted too late (end of March) they came up but eventually were a bust. I watered and had under a grow light so I don't know where I went wrong. I'm going to give another try next January but wanted to know how yours were doing. Love your videos! 💚💚💚

[@brendamartin2021]

You're a great educator and fun to watch. I'm planting only 3 lavender plants today and I'm following your direction. Thanks! (PS..... I just subscribed)

All I could think throughout this whole video is “boy I hope she will sell some dried lavender!” 😂

[@FlowerHillFarm]

Heck yes!

[@silencedflower8441]

When I have that issue., I water them with a cap or two of hydrogen peroxide in the next watering and then let them almost dry out before repeating. Usually gets rid of any mold or root rot issues. And I have saved many sick plants! I tend to buy those sickly looking plants that are on discount 😋.. because I can’t see them and then just leave them there to die. 🤗😍 Just saved a couple of blue hydrangeas and now I am propagating from them. I Have a couple trays of new blue hydrangeas rooted up and almost ready to be repotted. Keep growing. 🌱💞😘🙏🏻

A lavender field near me (Long Island, New York) keeps bees and sells the honey. You might like to do that. I love that they have painted the beehives in different shades of lavender.

When you spoke of imaging yourself encompassed with lavender, I had already been thinking the same thing. When I plant my tomatoes, I always think, sometimes say out loud, OK, where are my tomatoes. If I had lavender like you have, I'd be doing the same thing, OK, I've done my part, where is all my lavender? Patients gardener, patients.
