Good morning garden friends - one day closer to SPRING!!!! 😍

[@kathierogers3208]

I ordered geranium seeds right after I saw this video and they hadn’t arrived on the date the were suppose to so I just made a call to Swallow Tail Gardens about my order of geranium seeds and was told by a very nice lady that my order would arrive in 2 days. She apologized for that but said they had an unexpected surge of orders that week. I started to laugh and said I bet Laura had something to do with that and she laughed back and said yes, our angel Laura woke everyone about growing geraniums. 💗🥰😆

[@azwildcats70]

Can I just say that I love Ken's editing style?!? He's showing a fun personality with the Top Gun reference and other edits in the past that make me truly laugh out loud. - Lorie Whitt-Winyard

[@tagm56]

I had to rewind to watch again to confirm that was what I saw! What a hoot! :)

[@AngelaSissySnyder]

I did too! 😂😂😂

[@urmysunshine90]

In her recap video a couple weeks ago he inserted a hilarious clip of himself, I died laughing!

[@valeriearellano4465]

And the image was up and gone so quickly! After the vlog ended, I had to check the comments to see if any one else saw it. 😂😊

[@tiemposprofeticos5820]

I had to rewind too😅

[@jackielaures4060]

“I’m not going to be doing any seed starting in the Hartley…” says Laura as she cannot help herself and does, in fact, start seeds in the Hartley. you grow girl.

[@rootelation486]

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@NorthCarolinian81]

"you grow girl" 😂😂😂

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

🤣🤣I thought of the same moment and I remember myself saying "never, say never when it comes to your passion"

[@kerryschultz7116]

Absolutely!!!!! 🪴 🌸 🌺

[@janreneashman1915]

We all knew she was going to find a way to start seeds in the Hartley, can't fool us 🥰

[@mirandasands74]

I’ve gotta say, I’m loving Ken’s personality coming out more in his editing!

[@AllTheArtsy]

I knew she wouldnt be able to help but grow seeds in the Hartley 😅 It's just such a lovely place to be working in, seeing the snow and the plants, rather than always being in the studio instead. Love Benjamin's solo tea, well, hot choco, party. The rose set is so darling in his tiny hands 💓

[@jillkeim3587]

This video was just what I needed to start the day. Such a pretty view in the Hartley with the sun and the pretty geraniums and your cheerful , positive self. My mother has been in the hospital for 14 days and still a ways to go. We are heading into a snow storm today and I probably won't be able to go see her. It's been a rough go lately, and your videos provide some peace and cheer. Thank you Laura & Aaron.

[@GardenMinistry.]

Hoping your mother makes a full recovery 🙏🏽 💞

[@ritasicari7518]

Best wishes to you and your family.

Best wishes, Jill. Keep on gardening.

[@buckeyejen1076]

The cutest thing was seeing Benjamin’s little hand signal to stop pouring cocoa when the perfect ratio of marshmallows to hot chocolate was reached. ❤

[@maureenlogan7674]

Benjamin is So adorable 😍! He's such a nice quiet and polite boy!

[@barbarar9798]

As much as I love seeing Fall and Holiday videos- there is nothing like the coming of Spring and Summer and seed starting 🌺🌸🌻🌷💕

[@joydaniel597]

I look at your place and feel like you’re in a resort all the time. There’s so much place to hangout, there’s the Hartley, the cute shed, the porch, the studio, the chicken coop and to stroll around the garden and sit on those gorgeous benches.

[@patternandcraft]

Geraniums (well, pelargoniums) remind me of my grandma, she had a big planter box full of them outside her kitchen window and since she lived in California they were perennial rather than annual. She also had a big bougainvillea vine growing up the side of the house and across the roof roof by her back door that’s seemed like it was always in bloom- definitely inspired my love for gardening!

[@twilde3754]

Laura said, "I just need to find it," that's the story of my life. So fun to watch -- can't wait to see the growth of the geraniums.

[@clmtdmmjcmm4489]

Just wanted to say “THANK YOU” for keeping your videos about plants, growing things and keeping everything positive. Lots of unpleasant things happening in this world. You keep me looking forward to the future.😁

[@ash6811]

I’m watching this and just thinking wow, this is so soothing. Having your hands in the dirt with the sound of running water from your little fountain while looking out on the snow must feel a little magical.

[@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994]

Laura I just love watching you in the space ! The sky and the boxwoods against the snow !! Enjoy this space ! Geraniums are more durable than I thought ! I’m encouraged to use in window box!

[@marniroberson8980]

I noticed that amazing sky too. Gorgeous!

[@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994]

@@marniroberson8980 and I just ordered geranium seeds if Laura says they are easy …. I’m so impressionable lol🤔🌞😎

[@sandistolle4874]

So - another table for the center of the Hartley means another antique trip! 👏 Excellent! Geraniums are a great go-to plant!

[@mercyrn35]

I put zonal geraniums in a planter with coleus in full sun and they exploded with blooms! It was my absolute favorite mix to date! The zonal geraniums were quite beautiful and stood out among the massive coleus. Watching you in your beautiful garden brings me so much joy and inspiration ❤

[@altheasegura671]

Where do you live? My zonal geraniums bloom all summer in light shade, but they indoors resting, healthy.

[@marinbandel2574]

Good morning Laura and Benjamin. Great seed starting today and love the views from the Hartley. So sweet parenting, having Benjamin with you for hot chocolate while you worked. Private Mom time while Samantha Grace napped. That was truly lovely. Hugs from N.C..❤️

[@ramikhirfan7851]

Geraniums is one of my favourite flower plants, as low maintenance and tolerate cold and heat. They look superb inside the Hartley with snow in the background, its magical. Bravo Laura. 👏

[@Twistnsine]

I am so excited to follow this project 😍 My grandmother had so many pellargoniums/geraniums and she showed me how to propagate just by snipping off the top and putting it in water. They root very easily. Also the plant will branch out and get more full. Every year I get a new light pink pellargonium in her honor. They always flower vigorously and I absolutely love them 💕 Loved this video, Laura 🙏🥰

[@terrihart2133]

Geraniums remind me of my mother. The colors are so pretty. I even like the smell of the plant.

[@wandabrown508]

The Hartley is looking glorious! What a joy that you're getting so much use out of it during its first winter!

[@missthang4770]

Laura, the greenhouse is indeed a blessing and one that you richly deserve. You are hands down the hardest working, most positive and creative gardener I've seen. May the blessings continue coming you and your family's way.

[@marniroberson8980]

Love that subliminal Maverick. The new Top Gun is probably the only movie my husband has watched start to finish and two times in the theatre. I have really enjoyed geraniums. I am starting seeds for many varieties this year as a memorial to my mother-in-law who passed away several months ago. Geraniums were her favorite - they will have a place in our home and garden from now on.

[@pamelakilgus6070]

Good morning 😃 I absolutely love when you do projects in the Hartley !!! You could fold your laundry 🧺 in here and I would watch 😂 I started my seed geraniums a month ago and they are looking beautiful 😍

[@TrixieJFerguson]

I had a coral colored geranium with a reddish vein in the leaves for the past two years and it was breathtaking. Last summer it died and I was so sad. I recently discovered the Maverick series Coral (ironically from Swallowtail Gardens) and I ordered them immediately. I got my seeds the other week and I am so excited to get them started and very hopeful that these are the geraniums that I had before. I hope they are and I hope you love them as much as I did. 😍 PS … I also got the apple blossom. ❤

[@M4R1N4]

Wow, how cool! I decided to try geraniums this year and went searching online for seeds.. Swallowtail came up (never heard of them before) and I was taken with the Mavericks, esp the coral! Have you started them yet? Any growth?

[@lauriespiker5952]

We know exactly how you feel, Laura, without you having to express it. ❤ You are such a blessing! Thank you SO much for sharing your conservatory (and sweet Benjamin) with us!

[@staceyallard2692]

Yay!! Laura started seeds in the Hartley!! Good on you girl! It was very beautiful and calming to watch seed starts out there! 😊♥️

[@mirjasbeautychannel]

You can also store them like in a paper bag or similar to dahlia tubers, cool and dark for a few months, many does that here in Sweden. Because we have no sunlight for a few months during the winter.

[@barbarasantini]

Thank you :)

[@kaylah3889]

Geraniums remind me of growing up because my mom always had red geraniums on the front porch. That smell takes me back ❤

[@barbarawitt9989]

I love their smell also!

[@alliepopoff325]

I so appreciate the tour of the greenhouse and the incredible plants you have in there. We had a huge snowstorm hit today (southern Ontario, Canada) and I can't tell you how nice it was to watch you start some seeds in that beautiful space. It's helping me get through and think positively as we approach spring!

[@janetpayne4236]

I love the cup and saucer with the Hot chocolate pot- how sweet to see Benjamin enjoying it too!

[@sherimiller621]

This video inspired me to start some geraniums from seed. I've always been a person to buy my plants already grown. I've never tried to grow them myself. I don't have a whole lot of room in my small space, but who needs a dining room to eat anyway? I'll just fill it with plants instead. :) Thank you Laura and Aaron for being so inspiring. I never miss a video!

[@karenabendshien846]

Lovely! Don't worry about under the sink, when you get to it, you get to it! Thanks Laura 😊

[@beckysgarden5851]

I started Geraniums from seed for the first time last year and love it. I'm wintering over several of them. I love the varieties you are starting, they will look beautiful in the Hartley! And Ken has been on point with his editing lately, so much fun to watch 😊

[@rosewedemeyer]

Can you share where you purchased the geranium seeds?

[@altheasegura671]

PARKSEED

[@leopardlily3398]

So nice to relax and enjoy the comfort of these videos. It’s so so pretty inside the Hartley.. the juxtaposition of tender green plants against the blanket of crisp white snow. Ahh magic. Just love seeing Benjamin enjoying hot coco in that adorable tea set 🌸🫖😋

[@debbietubbs7620]

I asked for geranium seeds, grow trays and heated mat for Christmas. What a wonderful surprise to see you planting geranium seeds in this video, thank you!

[@aprilscott3022]

This was the perfect video! The beautiful geranium blooms, the snow in the background… the joy emanating from you is contagious! Last year you inspired me to start geranium seeds, despite having zero equipment.. no grow lights, no heat pads, no greenhouse, I even used saran wrap in lieu of a humidity done, and they grew beautifully. The art of creating and growing something yourself is a whole different feeling and that is what you inspired me to do, so thank you. This video today helped get me into gear to order my seeds and grow them again (I wasn’t going to and I don’t know why). Trying out swallow tail for my seeds- fingers crossed for another success. Thank you, Laura, for being a positive light for us all! 🌸

[@andreabenson2491]

When the video began with you sitting and explaining...the scene of you in the Hartley with the snow covered exterior, it just looked so magical👍👏❤️❤️❤️

[@mmelven8558]

My aunt taught me this method of overwintering geraniums. I don't have a lot of geraniums, si this method works for me Carefully dig up the geraniums before the first fall frost. Remove all of the soil from the plant’s roots. Place one or two plants in a large paper sack and store in a cool (45- to 50-degree F), dry location. (Or hang the plants upside down in a cool, dry location. She hung them in her unfinished basement.) The foliage and the shoot tips will eventually die. Around the middle/end of March remove all shriveled, dead material and prune back to firm, green, live stem tissue. After pruning, pot the plants and water thoroughly. Place the potted geraniums in a sunny window or under artificial lighting. Geraniums that are pruned and potted in March should develop into attractive plants that can be planted outdoors after the last frost.

[@learningaswego9287]

I love when you do a video about growing from seed! They are scarce on KZbin and I so value your way of teaching! Would love to see more videos about growing from seed☺️ I love the ones about planting containers and such with purchased plants but that is mostly out of my budget, so this is so helpful!

[@rangerjudi9144]

Had no idea geraniums were easy so easy to grow from seed! Yes, a huge money saver. Thanks Laura! The Hartley is gorgeous, a perfect place to enjoy big bloom geraniums in terra cotta pots. A classic ☺️ 🌸

[@dianarios6022]

I've been away for a bit and I gotta say it was really nice to listen to your familiar friendly voice and of course all the plant talk! So glad to be back.

[@imeldamayer-taylor2783]

Your geraniums are amazing. I like them, such a great idea to start them from seeds. Thank you for your inspiration.😍

[@ElderandOakFarm]

2:25 & I'm already sold! As soon as you said they tolerate high humidity... thats one of the things I love about you, Laura, is that you always try to include information about plants that may pertain to us gardener's in other climates! So helpful!

[@cathyorseske2564]

Laura you are a pleasure to watch doing your planting. Very enjoyable for sure

[@lillieallen7695]

I rarely comment on this but after seeing your little Benjamin have his hot chocolate while you planted, I smiled and enjoyed it just as much as he did. I watch your video's every day and a few older ones to refresh my skills of planting and caring of my plants. I have retired and am new to the game. I love your Hartley and how you have it decorated. As you say, "you do you," and the heck with what other's feel you need to do. Hi to mom and God Bless all of you.

[@judydwiggins3456]

I started geraniums for the first time last year. They were so easy and I had wonderful results. Lots of bright red flowers. You inspired me to plant again.

[@lindawhite1114]

The word you were looking for to express how you loved today's project out in the Hartley . . . . JOY!!!!

[@acchristianson]

I love the fun Ken has been having with editing lately. *chef's kiss*

[@chichitex1252]

I never even thought of planting geranium seeds…I’ve always bought early and the price or color often changes my plans!❤

[@hannabrennan7166]

Oh Ken 😂 thanks for a little Maverick to start the day off right.

The Hartley is actually a blessing for all of us. It's around 30degrees here in Middle TN today and I'm just needing to see bright cheery beauty Thanks for sharing.

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

Geraniums are always in my garden. They are a sweet reminder of my grandmother who loved all flowers but always had geraniums. The love of this plant is shared by my mother and sister as well. I’ve never once in my many years of planting large pots using geraniums, ever started by growing them from seed. As you often do, you’ve inspired me to give it a try. Also, this same grandmother would have tea parties with my sister, cousin and myself using small little tea cups like Benjamin used. I’ve got those cups and saucers and have enjoyed tea with my granddaughter and great nieces as well. A very special video for me today, thank you.

[@donnadennison876]

Thank you for this video. I do believe that I will try some geraniums. With the passing of my husband at Thanksgiving of 2021 and my son in June of 2022, I have had a hard time. I think it's time to start gardening again. Thank you so much.

[@angieyair]

I grew up in Tijuana Mexico, and my grandmother had them, so every time I see them or smell them, they remind me of her. Love your videos. Have a great day.

[@patriciau6277]

I’ve grow the red verity since I was a kid. Never from seed. I would simply break off a 6in stem and stick it in soil. The ones that grew the best were planted against a gray stone wall in full sun. They got six foot tall and filled a 10x5 bed.

[@kebergify]

I think I'd love starting seeds in a Hartley too!!! It's absolutely perfect and so so pretty. So glad that you have it so I can live vicariously through you.

[@sherilynkoss4546]

Love the open center of the room. Shows off all the happy plants inside! Your happiness is adding to their beauty!

[@anneh7217]

I had the good fortune to work in a greenhouse for a few years. Loved it! I was in charge of the geranium greenhouse, oh goodness how amazing it was to work with the plants from when they were in tiny cells to their full grown glory. The array of colors were so rewarding, what an beautiful breathtaking show. Very pleased to see you planting these amazing plants! Thanks Laura for all that you do.....very helpful information.

[@sherilynkoss4546]

Love geraniums - reminds me of Switzerland. Their colors with snow all around are so stunning in winter.

[@AGB-vy2ci]

I'm so glad i found your channel.. i'm a 'newbie' and my dad always loved geraniums.. i live in central Ohio and in the past have just bought my geraniums from a local flower shop, but thought this year, i'd try and grow them from seed. I have 'over wintered' my past plants and had success.. I have porch railing planters where they will go that face the east.. anyway, enough rambling.. thanks for the information.. you're a delight to listen to..

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

Now you’ve got me thinking “I need geraniums in my garden!” Question: will the heat mat damage the wooden table?

[@JaneTrinidadHennes]

This is great info. I love planting geraniums! ❤️

[@laurencarleton236]

Love the setting of the video today! I'm having daydreams of setting up my laptop in there and working at my job. Can you imagine being able to be on a video meeting and having this as your backdrop? Pure heaven. 🌺🌼🏵🥰 Insurance would never be so magical!! LOL!

[@lindak7499]

Thank you for a fun video. When I saw your Amaryllis I was reminded that while shopping at Home Depot at Christmas I purchased one that was not blooming and on sale (I'm frugal). Well it bloomed and 4 gorgeous red blossoms appeared. When they finally died I removed them, put them in boiling water with some vinegar and boiled them for a while, then put 4 small pieces of fabric in the water and continued boiling. Finally I removed the flowers and let the fabric steep in the hot vinegar water. There were 2 different types of fabric and one (I think linen) held the color better than the other. Then I rinsed them out. Since I am going to use them in something that will not get washed, I feel confident they will be OK. I should add that currently another stalk came up and I now have 4 more red blooms. I think I will dye some fabric again.

[@WildOrchardOasisFarm]

The Hartley and all the plants is just so dreamy! I'm in NW Arizona (zone 8a) and have 2 high tunnel greenhouses and I just planted some cool weather vegetables. So excited to be back in gardening mode! 👩‍🌾

[@ZussieMakesit]

Geraniums are super satisfying to deadhead! I love that ASMR sound when you clip the flower stem 😅

[@colsen4616]

Geraniums are also very easy to overwinter in their dormant state. They just need to be somewhere it doesn’t freeze. I keep mine in my dark, unseated garage until it’s warm enough in spring to plant outside. They come back big and glorious with their mature root systems.

[@naturalflow157]

As someone who knows gardening, I truly appreciate it and find it extremely valuable as it helps me to become much better and not kill all my plants and seeds. Absolutely great and happy I came across your video, :) Thank you and wishing you all the best.

[@sherylemoore8626]

Seed starting in the Hartley! How exciting. Love the hot chocolate set. I actually collect hot chocolate pots. Its so nice to see you not only using them but sharing with your children how to make the simplest things a little extra special.

[@rosemountfarms2897]

We have had all those Geraniums over the years and my husband’s favourite plant. We keep the best each season over in our heated greenhouse. Geraniums are so forgiving and love the cooler temperatures.

[@suzannewallace6216]

Love seeing inside the Hartley and hearing about all the different plants you have there. Beautiful space to work in esp with sun and snow❤😊

[@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving]

Perfect timing as usual. I was just looking at seed catalogs to figure out the best varieties to grow as a trap crop for Japanese Beetles. They love the blooms, but after munching, the beetles become paralyzed for a few hours. Enough time to toss them into soapy water. White is the best color, but I also picked up salmon, red and a blend just in case.

[@lainyjane4581]

do the beetles ruin the geraniums? new to j. beetles and they are really horrible. i used to watch you all the time. hope all is well.

[@MicheleLHarvey]

I love Pelargoniums/geraniums! So easy & foolproof, with a deep history. Brought from South Africa in the early 1700's they can be found in many Victorian paintings by famous artists. Seemingly ubiquitous, there's a variety to suit every taste & the scenteds are spectacular for fresh bouquets, crafts, cooking, sachets & potpourri! I've kept them going for years from cuttings & shared with all my friends! Hadn't thought to try from seed, but now that you've shown me Laura, it's a must on my to do list!

[@alcg3981]

I'm glad you talked about Pelargoniums and explained that. I grew up in Southern California and ours flower all year (more or less). Now in a colder climate, 6a/b, I had a bout of jealous nostalgia when one of my Sisters sent me a pic of some in her garden end December!

[@lorrainel2314]

The view of the garden from the Hartley is just lovely ❤

[@teresam2261]

I grew the same geraniums this year (Maverick Coral) from swallow tail garden seeds and all of them germinated and grew. I love this video! ❤

[@kileyfelch4944]

I also like to bring the geraniums inside during the winter months. The color is so refreshing during the crappy winter months. And, I absolutely loooove the smell of them. I know it’s a love or hate scent for most people but it’s so nostalgic to me

👋Good Wednesday morning, Laura!!! I love that salmom color of your geraniums. They are gorgeous!!! I learned something, as usual, from you in this video; weekly deadheading produces more bloom growth vs seed production. Plus, you can propagate the branches! I will be propagating my ivy-leaved geranium plants, for CERTAIN! YAAAY! Thank you for sharing those tidbits. I recently bought 2 salmon pink ivy-leaved geranium plants; I had never seen them before. They are outside in a hanging basket from my back patio eave. They are so beautiful and happy in the chilly Arizona desert Winter temperatures. Beautiful guitar 🎸 music 🎶🎵 🎵🎶!!!! Is that you playing, Aaron? Has Ken been on vacation? I haven't been seeing any highlighted comments/replies this week. 👋Good morning, Benjamin!!!

I grew some Mavericks from Swallowtail seeds last year and they were amazing. So easy to grow, they did great in full sun and didn't need lots of water.

[@ticouna]

I live in zone 4a and for the past 20 years I bring back all my geraniums, 200 of them, inside in the dark basement and they are huge. I pull them out of the soil slightly clean up the roots with no water and attach them upside down on a wooden pole. They will lose all their leaves, a bit messy, but who cares for the money saving it is completely worth it, and by mid-February I will take a very big plastic container and put the roots in the water. Give them a drink for a day or two and put them back on the pole. By mid-April, I plant them back all the leaves will come back and be ready to bloom! This way I have the geraniums grow trunks very solid with so many branches.

[@barbs.7367]

Loved this! Can’t wait to see them grow 👍🏼. The amaryllis is gorgeous btw!

[@grumpyoldgeezer7932]

For over 20 years, my mom and I would buy Geranium starts, pot up in 4 Inch pots in early April and give to each mother at church for Mother's Day. One year i bought mom a Marth Washington bicolor geranium, we brought it indoors for winter, then in February, we took cuttings off the mother plant and started from cuttings rather buying seeds or starts. They were a big hit that year. In 2006 I took mom and dad on Alaska cruise, In Fairbanks, a guide told us that during summer, the "red light district" used red geraniums rather red light bulbs due to midnight sun. Mom had a chuckle as we had given out red geraniums for Mother's Day a month before.

[@sandrutevorobey7915]

Good morning Laura you are my enabler 👩🏻‍🌾 I have geranium seed to plant 🪴 because of your previous video 🤗 my grandmother had Geraniums inside and as a kid 👧 I didn’t care for there specific smell, but they are so beautiful 😍and easy to take care of 🥰 so I must have them 😂🤣

[@jlp4111]

I’ve been growing geraniums inside for years, in front of South facing windows and sliding doors, in full sun. Some plants are over 5 yrs old, cut back the foliage to keep them from growing too wild, which gives me new stems for rooting elsewhere. I don’t use rooting hormones, just push the stem in new soil and they germinate easily. They grow better for me inside than outside!
