When you take out those near-finished roses, you could use the petals for rose water!
It's my understanding you are supposed to deadhead fuscias to encourage more flower growth.
????
You should sell a tool cleaning kit for beginners
If you dead head, you can't get seeds! Clip some but let others go to seed!!! Collect seed, plant next year!!! FREE GIFT FROM MOTHER EARTH!!! If you don't want the poppyseed, please mail them to me ???????????? Great tips! Thank you ????
I liked the how-to on oiling and sharpening pruning shears. It would be kind of cool to include a small tool tip like that in each video!
When he said Hey papi ????
I am not trying to be difficult.. Saying "counter intuitive" may give more new gardeners the idea that the idea is as defined,,,"Counter intuitiveness is defined as being contrary to intuition or common-sense expectation." Intuitive is just plain 'ol commonsense. With regard to gardening, many seemingly counter intuitive ideas etc are just basic science; biology, physics, botany and or common cultural practice bought to us by history of intuitive practice. ps I'm 70 and been in this camp draught for decades.
Whenever I hear "Poppy", I remember Poppy Playtime or Pewd's I'm Poppy parody ????
How are you supposed to get the opium from the poppies if you deadhead them?
Got some red poppies? Lol, send me the seeds.
I like to let the poppyseeds reseed – they have become my new spring weeds, so if I don't get around to weeding and planting, well, there ya go, it's a bed of poppies. The spent plants make great mulch.
Can you eat the poppy seeds?
When pruning roses, rose gloves can save your hands and arms. Some roses are nearly thornless. Others could substitute for razor wire.
Hey Papi, direct your energy over here. I felt that man lol
Kevin: "Hey, Papi ;-)"
I always deadhead my roses ????
A classic Kevin video ????????
This works well with certain varieties of sunflowers, which will regrow two new heads to replace the one you cut off. Sunflower heads are pretty good grilled up or pan fried, and have a texture similar to artichoke hearts, since artichokes are in the same family.
I was literally just wondering about deadheading today. This is super timely and helpful, but also a little creepy. ????
Also is you job about plants because if so thats awsome
Cool vid your house looks amazing im jealous of how many plants you got
I’m very new to gardening, I have hibiscus, gardenia’s, jasmine, and a peace lily. Would I do this with all flowers?
