Pro tip: put the mint in a seperate pot. It’s invasive so will take over the whole planter in no time. I have faith in your green thumb!

[@MelGork06]

I was about to write that! Mint grows like a weed! It’s great to grow because of that but yeah it’ll take over!

[@kthoopify]

Came here to say this too! Ahh get it outta that bed Allana!

[@KalistaCampbell]

Hahah we’ve all been burnt by mint before!

[@elizabethcyr5508]

Just came here to say this 😂

[@kati_craig_]

Yes, mint is strong both in flavor and how it grows. You can also submerge a pot in the same planter to keep it from edging out all the other herbs.

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Allana STOP ❤ THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS!! Right back at you girl! And you in the blue set and then the blue set and the skirt?! Just STUNNING! Completely your summer vibe! ❤

[@MissNanNan2U]

Love the Anna/Allana LOVE fest!!! Y’all make such glorious content!!!

[@linzplinz2594]

Newly planted plants need watering. After planting, give them a good watering around the base of the plant. Never water directly on top of the plant, always near the base. You want the water to get to the root of the plant. Then water about every 3 days. Count about 10 seconds of water for each plant. Once established (About 2 weeks) water when soil feels/looks dry. Best to buy a watering can for your herb planter, then you’re not having to drag out the hose all the time. You can just fill the watering can from your kitchen sink. Also to note… If you have your herb garden in direct sunshine it will need more water. I like to water plants in the evening because then they have all night to drink up the water. If it’s a hot hot day and you water in the morning, the sun will dry up the soil a lot faster than at night. Happy gardening!

[@Herpalederpa]

If you'll be traveling frequently, i'd suggest you buy a self watering mechanism to water your herbs. Herbs need watering daily, sometimes even twice a day during hot summers which can be pretty high maintenance tbh but worth it!

[@juelclyne7392]

Hi Allana, just some watering and the herbs should come back. Also put that mint in a separate container as it will overtake everything. Happy gardening ❤❤❤

[@007luanamartins]

I understand Dan’s sense of humor by his choice of background music for your videos ahhahaha the classical music during the planting portion was supreme!

[@alicelulutz]

You can save the basil, just water it thoroughly. It needs a lot of water in general, you can even water it everyday if the soil dries out quickly, just stick your finger in the soil and check. It's also best to keep the herbs in partial shade to shade.

[@smouri7862]

Re the herbs, place them somewhere where there is mostly shadow, and maybe a couple of hours sun a day 👩🏼‍🌾. I love herbs🌿 and have to keep them on the back balcony, not the front one , or else they get too much sun and dry out. And If you go away, place them in the shadow and give them plenty of of water, and then they might survive the week 😛

[@alyssa.t.browning]

When I bring new plants to add to my herb garden I actually keep them in the grow pot for a week or so to acclimate to my backyard and check out their temperament. Once they seem relatively happy, I’ll plant them and give a good watering. Once they get a little dry, water again. If they die, I keep them in there because they could have some roots under that can grow new babies. As all the other comments from green thumbs here, immediately remove the mint and put it in its own pot. I also like keeping my basil and chives separate bc the root systems are also huge and will take over the nutrients. Good luck!

[@joanneblakely2498]

Allan’s the neutral fringe outfit is so unique and looks great on you. I love it!

[@ellis6536]

I can’t believe you’re back this soon after EDM!!!! so grateful 🥹🫶🏻

[@cacole88]

For my herb garden, I have a few homemade olla's for consistent watering which is probably all you need to help bring yours back to life. They are essentially two clay pots from Home Depot glued together to create a container. You bury them in the middle of the planter leaving access to the top hole and the plants pull the water from the clay container when they need water. I fill mine up once a week and don't have to do / worry about anything else. You only need one for your raised bed and they are SUPER easy (and cheap) to DIY.

[@EmBo89]

Allana you are just so frickin hilarious!! Your videos are literal rays of sunshine beaming into my eyeballs hahaha Thank you and sorry about your herbs ☺️

[@layashafie941]

you have introduced me to a whole new world of You-tubers, which I am embarrassed about not knowing, but people like Victoria and Amelia and Suzie have been on my watch routine nonstop since your Ibiza vlog and now SO excited to add The Anna Edit to that list!!!

[@merelmetterademaker2624]

Hahaha the bowl story❤️ literally all of my friends and I are bowl obsessed up to the point where are our husbands (god so grown up) have “bowl in bowl out” policy. 😂 I feel you!! Living the bowl life

[@bekkkabby]

the music choice during the gardening scene had me CACKLING lol RIP your herbs 😢

[@joni6178]

When the classical music started??? Perfection. However I was not prepared for the dead plant plot twist 😂😂. Super fun video ❤

[@maxinemewis4300]

Hi Allana! I feel you, regarding the cold! 😅 it’s FREEZING here in the UK! I had to wear a puffer coat on my dog walk yesterday! 🤣 come on summer! ☀️ great vlog 🫶🏻 love from 🇬🇧 xxx

[@valhoff3]

A big YES to the blue pinstripe suit set! 👌🏼

[@specialdale6008]

love seeing your filming set-up! show us how the sausage is made! plants are usually crabby after a transplant, so all may still be well. def recommend planting a little pot with catnip for meryl, the various reactions will all be charming and hilarious. and i have that exact set-up of ikea bowls, they are indeed the perfect combo of wide and tiny! 💗

[@mhairig]

Love the garden montage. Herbs love the sun. Good luck xx

[@nehalele08]

I heard the music after the byeeeee automatically.. 😂

[@lanacaramelbanana]

I gasped so hard when you came back to dead plants, that is actually so devastating. Also totally feel you on the different size bowl, it just makes sense!

[@idalarsson4729]

Your videos always makes me in a good mood, you’re a ray of sunshine☀️! I wish that I had some clever advice to give you about the herbs - but I have nothing. I’m actually amazed that my own plants in my apartment are still alive! Thanks for the pick me up and for the recommendation of The Anna Edit! Btw loving the fringe set from H&M. 💕

[@chali4478]

that backyard is goals!! 😍😍 but agree with the other comments, take out the mint and put it in a separate (big!) pot! It will grow and be beautiful 😊

[@paigegrove1]

summer house is my favorite!! you should def binge the whole thing it just keeps getting better over time!

[@pinkstartwilight]

The sun beds look so good!! I literally can’t get over your backyard it’s so good!!

[@hannaht616]

Thank you for bringing pure joy on a grey day ❤

[@camilaniram]

can't get over how gorgeous the backyard looks!!!

[@BurcuUgur-qt1mr]

Love the fringe dress but the white and black stripe gives me the Sheldon Cooper Doppler effect vibes

[@thesarahcandice]

I'm right there with you. Obsessed with bowls of all sizes. Can't get enough bowls!

[@emilyjimly]

Hahaha “are you strolling with me” 😂

[@enyaward7769]

How I wish we could all stroll the streets of Italy, Aperol spritz in hand! What a dream

[@eileenboffo6300]

The sunbeds look Amazing 😍😍

[@lamillss]

lol lovvved the meta moment of you being filmed filming another video... always curious about the energy after the sign-off and the VIBES PASSED ❤

[@catherinemcnab]

This video made me excited for summer ❤🤗

[@tonyarst2922]

A bad roll of wrapping paper lololol I LOVE it🤪🤣. I really like the fringe 👑✝️🙏❤️

[@misty_michelle3034]

I loved the first set you tried on from H&M. They all looked great.

[@olesjaschalnich]

Can’t stop laughing!!!!! The music while gardening 🤌🏼🥹🥲

[@olesjaschalnich]

Also „destroying the dirt“ I caaaaaaaant

[@mamamariaaa]

People have already given you some great tips for the herbs, so I’m here to share a bit about the pepper. Peppers tend to need more sun than herbs so I’d put it in a spot where it’ll got lots of sunlight, west facing if possible!

[@nancysuarez9556]

Im a bowl aficionado myself 😌 I appreciate any and all bowl recs!!

[@kt9495]

Plant flowers to bring the bees to your yard and you won’t see as many wasps. They made me nervous also when I bought my home in Texas, they were everywhere! The bees came in when I put in pollinator plants. #savethebees Please always avoid pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. Healthy soil with organic amendments builds healthy environments! Go Lan and Dejan! 🙌🌿 edit: Mulch the herbs it will keep their roots cool and help keep the soil moist.

[@kim-mr7oh]

loved this video ♥️

[@mallorydurrick]

Cilantro is best grown directly from seed. Get the packets, pour into the garden and watch it grow all summer long. Keep adding more seeds AND it self seeds too!

[@jocelyn.ssnider]

Congratulations on starting your gardening journey! Your plants should be able to come back to life, just give them a good water! Gardening tips: 1. Mint is SUPER invasive, try removing it and having it in its own separate little pot. this way it won't overtake the garden. 2. Keep your herbs in an area that doesn't get blasted with full sun constantly, partial sun will work just fine. 3. as a girly who has a big garden but also goes away a lot in the summer, it's important that before you leave for a couple days to SOAK your plants so they don't dry out too much while you're gone! Hope this helps!! :)

[@jeanettefujikawa]

I loved seeing the behind the scenes footage showing your goodbyyyyyye outro. I agree about the outfits, all great except the wrapping paper one 😂.

[@emilyhaveman829]

If I could only use bowls, especially crisp white ones... I absolutely would. 100% agree with the bowl obsession!

[@sgruber16]

❤Cried laughing… „she‘s a gardener now“… fast forward …“all my plants have died“😂😂😂 bless your heart

[@lynram8820]

New plants need deep watering until roots are established. I grow my mint in a separate container as they are invasive...they grow back every year and smells so good.

[@alisasepe6098]

Love the black & white dress

[@htpeck91]

Great clothes, especially the fringe. That is a darling outfit!

[@brooklyndaines8825]

I love gardening! Just a thought though, cilantro does not do super well in the heat, its a better early spring plant, but maybe it will be fine! I guess you will see! All that to say if it dies this time don't give up, just try a little earlier next year! Also herbs generally need a lot of sun and water so I would make sure you get lots of that!

[@RonjaSebastian]

Hey 👋 Swedish native here and Citronhaj means “lemon shark” (super random) and is pronounced citroon-high. 🍋🦈 (Side note: both IKEA and H&M are Swedish and I feel low key proud over here 😊)

[@MezWilkins]

Nothing better than a weekly vlog!! Would you mind linking your sunglasses? If possible :)

[@megannaanderson]

Idk why "are you strolling with me?" Sent me rolling lolol you crack me up

[@hannahzantvoort9654]

The thumb nail for this video is so great!

[@VictoriaBC610]

Try seeding the herbs. I do that every summer and it's great! You can re-seed as often as you need throughout the summer, too. That's what I do! ☺. but watering is KEY

[@tgall2013]

The classical music… the next take being all of them dead has ME dead lmao

[@lottamartin9270]

Basil will also take over. We have growing all under our porch, and it's spread like crazy. Idk about keeping wasp away, but I am gonna try and plant it around to see if it helps keep them away❤ I love your Kyle impersonation lolol

[@kathleen5800]

so cool to see your setup for your videos!! what's your setup for your studio?😊

[@AbbyMarie036]

Make sure you replant the mint in it's own pot! It's also great at repelling annoying bugs so maybe put it by your patio with a pot of basil :)

[@jenniferj4063]

The 2nd 2 outfits from H&M are great along with the others that were kindly lifted to you. As far as gardening, I am not the gal to ask lol, but I thoroughly enjoyed the music playing while you were gardening 😅. Rest up lady and see you on the flip side! Xoxo 🤗 😘 ✌️🫶👩‍🌾

[@fbmbassist]

Herbs need a lot of frequent watering. Since you’re keeping it outside, I’d recommend a self-watering irrigation system so that you can forget about it, unless you want to be a daily waterer. You at least need a self watering system for going on vacation. Blumat is the trusted brand to use (don’t use dupes).

[@bearstreeet]

Atlantis quotes for the win too!! 😂 I yuv you 🥹

[@naomi2503]

Noo the herbs looked so promising! No advice here, since I can barely keep my houseplants alive, but I am rooting for you to have them thrive again!

[@moranac4240]

Hi Allana! Herb garden is such a great idea, but...they can't all be in one container. When you plant something, you always water it well immediately after planting. Second, mint will kill all other plants. It is invasive, so get it its own container (it's also perannial). Basil on the other hand is a one year plant, needs just a little soil and a loooot of water, like put a plate underneath and keep it always filled with watter. All others should be fine, but they need regular watering, specially during Summer (any Summer). No giving up, this is a first go. ❤

[@KimberlinLuv]

As soon as you put on the matching blue set I was like ou that vest would look so cute with your white skirt and then you put it on right after 😂

[@Kaleigh.M]

My herb garden also died 😂 currently trying to bring it back to life. Except for the mint-like someone else said, that stuff is quick to take over!

[@teresawilliams1201]

I’m strolling with you 👗. And cilantro is hard to grow where I live so I hope you have better luck 🤞🏼

[@amandag759]

Check the light and water requirements for the specific herbs - they might need more/less sun, and they might all have different watering requirements 😊

[@anaburns09]

There are mock wasp nests that have worked for me!

[@sarat3555]

When you said, “good heavens” I felt ittttt. Of course it doesn’t look like it does on the model on my own body. But we have to have hope, ya?

[@JenAlguire]

Wasn’t planning to go to IKEA and now I must for the large shallow bowls!! Dang it! I’ve been influenced!!!! Haha

[@rosa-ww9bp]

Please bring the Sunday reset videos back! I loooove all the organization content

[@alexandramoody4697]

Girl not the mint in the same bed as everything else!!! It will devour that bed. Another entertaining vid! You crack me up 😂❤

[@alisonlechner4305]

Very random but have you tried the Charlotte Tilbury moisturizing setting spray? And urban decay just launched one, too! I have the same skin type as you and love the porefessional spray but wondered if you had tried those other ones yet. Elf has a Milk gripping spray dupe that is also great btw! Setting spray wear test time???

[@margarcia9]

Hi Allana, been watching you for years, but first time commenting. Just wanted to let you know that i love your content, your blogs are so funny and interesting and most important, you encourage me to start waking up early (6am lol, usually i woke up at 8:30am) and I´ve been going to the gym right away, its only been 2 weeks but i´m so proud of myself (could never done it for more than 1 week lol) So thank you!! Also wanted to know, could you let me know what camara and lens do you use for your grwm videos?, all your content looks incredible quality wise, but your make up videos i love them!! Thank you!! 😘😘 (excuse my english, I´m from Spain)

[@dawnclements9644]

And so it begins, you’re a garden-girlie now, too😘

[@taylortrainor1997]

Love the garden! However I would take that Mint out ASAP. Mint is technically a weed and if you leave it in there the entire bed will be all mint next year (speaking from personal experience) 🤣💕 I would also be sure to research what herbs do well together. Each plant will have varying requirements in terms of how much water they need, how much sunlight, how much drainage, etc. Pepper plants for example are pretty drought tolerant whereas basil and mint need lots of water.

[@gailsokol7832]

Bad roll of wrapping paper, how funny and fits the dress description exactly haha.

[@tairynbodley]

THE MINT!!! Put the mint in a separate pot or it will take over everything! Also where are your sunnies from?

[@kikirover1]

Nr 1 for pots…put drainage in them, your plants will drown and rot….we don’t want another Titanic drama…and a little sunshine ..don’t give up on your sad looking plants…that can happen in the first days, give ‘m time…❤ That gardening episode makes me think of a Marie Antoinette in le Petite Trianon❤

[@cindycordero5415]

Gardening took me back to lockdown times 😮😅😂

[@valeriac3445]

Allana I had planted mint in a pot last year, somehow it got into my backyard soil (which is very inhospitable soil as I live at 6 thousand feet) and it’s now growing by itself and thriving literally without any help from my part SO I would not plant it with the rest of your herbs as it will TAKE OVER everything!!! ❤

[@vayorke]

THE IKEA BOWLS ARE BACK?! 🙏🏼🥰

[@ronni7167]

Oh no. I’m so sorry about the herbs. I hope you can save them. ❤❤

[@yecatstacey]

You are so cute and funny! The Align set is on sale 🤭

[@maddiem5066]

Where’s your vanity desk and mirror from

[@agamko]

You need to put them in partial sun and water them…. But love that you’re trying a little gardening!

[@sarahaghighi6610]

Missed you

Hey Alana, you should not underestimate the need of water for the plants. :)💚

[@gandhijis880]

The plants aren’t goners yet. I have faith you can bring them back!!

[@laetitia5099]

Byeeeeeeeeereeeeee 🎶

Fun fact; when cats eat grass, it is a way for them to add fiber to their diet and easy their bowel stuffs :D

[@mandy8648]

I felt too much joy watching you put dirt in your garden planter thing. 😂

[@samanthac2629]

cilantro is a cold weather baby, may have a better luck in spring or fall

[@sukstar]

If you plant cilantro into the ground and let some on them seed and fall to the ground again, they will grow back on their own next year. You will never need to plant cilantro again. I guess you can do the same thing in your planter but they will take over the whole thing.

[@maggieturner88]

If you're moving your makeup table, why not put some wheels on the bottom? You'll save your floors from being scratched
