One of the many functions you guys provide is giving people permission to learn, to experiment, to fail. They have not yet gotten their gardening "legs" based on questions, repeated questions, but will if they keep at things. Failures really are not, they are learning. The more they garden, the more they learn. They have their local county Master Gardeners, local gardening groups, favorite nurseries, community gardens/botanical gardens/arboretums, KZbin channel favorites, pbs shows, library books, etc. The more done, the more learned. One of my favorites is doing something "experts" say address this way (pruning for example), I did not know, just did that way/opposite without knowing, plant is fine. Thanks for all your videos. Winter is a good time for viewers to rewatch and get refreshed for 2022. 🥰

I have been impressed by the practicality of not stressing too much when things go wrong with plants and projects. I have been better about that in general, but there are some exceptions. Like on my family farm where I grew up. I grieved over a white weeping birch tree that died because the lawn around it was taken out and my family somehow forgot the tree still needed to be watered. That tree was “my friend “ as a kid. I spent so much time up in its branches reading and lost in my own world. I didn’t even still live there when it died and I still miss it like family.

Milk jugs are great for winter sowing. This year, I winter sowed in upside-down clear plastic bins. I put a sealed bag of top-soil on the bin top on the ground, cut open and removed most of the top of the bag, and sowed my seeds directly in the soil bag. The clear bin then went on top to create a little greenhouse. You do have to poke holes in the soil bag for drainage and the clear bin to allow for natural watering. It worked like a charm!

I think that not being stressed about plants does come from being able to have access to many plants. When I worked at a nursery I just plopped plants in and I didn't stress over it growing or not. However now every plant is much more precious because it's hard for me to find and pay for all those plants. Like full price makes a huge difference!! If a plant doesn't make it I may not be able to afford another or find that kind again.

[@angstrom55]

So true. I started container planting this year on my porch and the cheap clearance stuff I was fine if they didn't make it. The PW hydrangeas I bought online, I would baby it everyday because they cost a decent amount.

[@dlsdyer9071]

@@angstrom55 Nothing like getting those mark down plants to grow! One tip: if it is an indoor plant, most likely it is over watered. If it is an outdoor plant, it most likely has been under watered (exceptions are herbals like lavender, rosemary and cacti/succulents).
