    Just ordered your planting calander. I AM SO EXCITED! I have always had a black thumb ... in fact: I come from generations of black thumbs! BUT I have so many plants growing right now! Because of you! Thank you a million times! I am so glad I am finally able to support you a little... as you have supported me over the last couple years with your no nonsence videos and encouragement in this harsh and beautiful climate. Thank you , blessing s and peace.

    Yes, in your zone it can be. The ones for cut flowers are usually annual varieties and differ from the perennial ones.

    Let the flower die back and seed pods develop, wait to harvest until the seeds turn black inside the pods.

    What are you thoughts on water storing crystals? Miracle grow has a brand that has AMAZING reviews. I live in a very hot climate but am uneasy about adding things to my soil. The brand Terraloch is cellulose based. I just worry about what is left in the soil because I think they only last about 3 years.

    I wouldn't add those. You could add things like vermiculite or perlite instead.

    Hi, Angela. I noticed you have wood chips in your garden. Do you recommend using them as mulch? Some KZreadrs discourage their use, claiming they rob your plants of nitrogen. Is this true in your opinion? I have some in my raised beds and don’t know where I could find hay/straw which they prefer. I live in the El Paso, TX area.

  • @GrowingInTheGarden

    @GrowingInTheGarden

    Ай бұрын

    I don't mix them into my soil - they are on the top layer as mulch. Nitrogen loss is minimal - you could look for straw at someplace like Tractor supply or a feed store

    Most varieties for cut flowers are annuals. There are perennial types you can grow as well.
