Hi! I am now obsessed with soil health too, thanks to you. Started reading Teaming with microbes. So thank you for sharing these ides and knowledge. I was wondering if you could tell me in which video you give the recipe for soil amendment with grass water and mykorhiza? Some time ago I watched it and now I cannot find it anymore.
I sell peonies wholesale every spring in Michigan. Your tutorial regarding cutting secondary buds to divert energy back into the plant and the part about soil amendment was helpful to me. I also did not know about the tip to not harvest all the peonies on a bush, but to dead head some of them instead in order to also divert more energy into the plant. Lastly, I need to learn more about amending the soil with phosphorus as you mentioned too. Thank you!
Gorgeous ♥️
I have the Canary Brilliance Itoh peony as well. It is not my favourite, Bartzella is my favourite hands down.
They are beautiful. Thanks for explaining in detail the best way to grow and harvest them. Love your work 🙏
I love it even more after 3yrs
plant to cover everything n feed each other during seasons. Weeds don't have a chance. Good permaculture. Food that grows in season n feeds itself. No digging, pulling, just occasional trim or chop.
Thanks! One of our homes favorite flowers.
Im wondering has anyone used coffee bags or similar in hanging baskets? Would save on having to buy coco liners?
I have canary brilliance and it has not bloomed in years ,any tips?
Well, most of my lawn are volunteer dandelions which are also invasive....so.
Dandelions aren’t classified as invasive in North America
@@Blossomandbranch They are definitely not native. And they are invasive....ask my neighbor.
beautiful!❤
you reap what you sow “literally”
Thank you for sharing!! So many good tips.
Canary Brilliant is also my favourite Itoh ❤️❤️❤️
No offense intended, just my observation, which apparently I'm not allowed to express in certain forums: it seems like flower farming is the new gold rush and the only people making money are the people selling supplies and courses, similar to the merchants during the gold rush.
I don’t take offense at all, this is why I gave the information in this video (and our subsequent one on the peony farming craze) giving the ACTUAL numbers!
@@Blossomandbranch Wishing you the best! Life can really suck some times.
Thank you for sharing, do you put them in the fridge with the bulb and water?
I like the compost slurry, that’s a great idea. Could make it with the compost tea. I currently have a big barrel of food scraps and need to create workable compost. What should I add?
Great video! Once again so much info. I have an 6 year old Itoh about 3-4 ft tall. It’s planted to close to a couple of hydrangeas( didn’t know any better at the time)when is the best time to transplant? P.S. because of your videos my husband and I are are cutting our plastic consumptions even when we grocery shop. Thanks again and always listening and learning.☀️🌱💕
I opt for wood structures in the garden for hardscaping and building materials. I love that cottage, woodland look.
Order a sickle from India
This was was informational. Chock full of answers to my questions. Thank you!
I am a newbie at peonies and have one in year two. It's still pretty shrimpy and I haven't seen any buds yet. Just to make sure I understand, when I do see buds, I should snip them off during year two? Last year it was small with no buds. This year it's a little bigger with no buds yet. At what year should can I harvest or let it bloom? I am growing for my personal use for cut flowers. Thank you for this VERY informative video. I have a feeling this might become an addiction like my dahlias!
I’m on a no plastic mission in my garden but the pigeons are eating a lot of my veg 😢
Yesss. I've heard about storing them so this year I have a wedding and thought this is the best reason to try this method and (fingers crossed) I have peonies in mid july. Have been collecting them for couple of weeks from my garden, moms garden, to-be in-laws garden and putting them in fridges and cellars and hoping..hoping..hoping for the best. 🥰🤞🏻 After this video I'm not so scared anymore and this could work and last till july.
You're doing it wrong
I found an old raised bed in our yard. The wood is decayed and turned to dirt. Im building a new garden on top of the awesome soil it's provided. ❤
Very cool; I didn't know peonies could be stored dry.
Super bummed now! I'm a renter and don't have a huge budget but try to grow a lot of produce. In the past two days I've learned about garden hoses and now grow bags. The more I learn, the less any of this feels worth it. I don't think that's your intent, but now that I know this, I can't pretend I don't know.
❤ So much great info, as always. And, my goodness that Canary Brilliants!!! I don't have any Peonies in my yard, but I think that needs to change. As soon as the budget allows, adding one to our landscape. Thanks for another great video.
I stake my peony with the H shape metal wire that you would use for yard sale signs or signs in general. How is the gardens doing?
Jesus not everything can be expertly said in every short form video. Her points are valid and true to her experience. And opens the door for people to go ahead and do their own research for their own areas. Not everything can be laid out for you in a 15 second video about someone else's lawn.
Thank you ❤️
Do you dead head after the blooms are done? I'm sorry if i missed when you told us. Thank you f I r helping me.
Yes, I do to keep them from putting energy into seed production!
When people started using materials to make walkways
WOOOWWW! Those peonies are incredible 😍 👏 🙌
I started out with purchased starts however the past 3 years I’ve started all my plants except maybe 2-3 that I received in trade for other plants. I can’t find the words to describe the feeling I get when I look into my garden and know I grew it all from seed (there are some wild plants I leave too, like yarrow, plantain, horsetail)
I live in a climate too warm to grow peonies (San Francisco). I so completely enjoyed this video!
❤
Farm tour please . Such a gorgeous flower 😍
good job!
Wonder if you could make a glazed pottery to do this also, perhaps with a hole at the bottom of each soil block section, then with another tray put these on and water the tray to soak into the soil blocks
Hells yea we want a farm tour girly!! And a remodel update too please!?? 😊 You have had such a few months, I am so very sorry 😔 There are no right words, but I would love to just send you a heartfelt hug. Thank you for everything that you do. You are so sweet and such a wealth of information. I hope that you know how appreciated you are 💕
Will do! And thank you so much. Trying to keep chin up and most days it’s thanks to nature and this great community that I do ❤❤❤
Thanks so much I always love your videos! Very informative!
I rethink buying landscape fabric every time you show your soil!
Another lovely helpful video. Thank you❤
Love your videos! So helpful. Would love a farm tour. Or even one of these kinds of videos for every type of flower you grow 😍
Noted! That’s a fun idea ❤️
Your video is so informative and I learn so much from them. Everything I need to know about peonies!
I'm so glad! 😀 happy gardening!
Would you suggest a living mulch like the freeping phlox, or wood chips? My peony patch is 2 years old and i need something to supress weeds! Zone 5 in PA
The phlox is slow so if you had to choose between the two I’d do mulch; however ours is starting to spread now (year two)- ask me again next year 😅
I mean i built my garden bed with wood, it will also eventually degrade and need to be replaced, thats just life. But if im building a path or some other kind of decor/ architecture i dont want to have to repeat all the cost and labor every 5 years or whatever. I think most people feel that way. So theres your answer lol
Only concern I have here is water plus if moss or something starts growing and you gonna be having a fun time trying not to slip over 😭
