Bees go Bonkers for Borage!????
Howdy Ben and Rosie! ???? Loads of great information! ????Thank you! I'm going to make that grass tea.
I love your style Ben, you always make me smile and i learn so much.
Your dog is beautiful ????
An experiment that worked well for me was tying bundles of lavender in my apple and pear trees, since I didn't spray. I was amazed at how clean the fruit was. I have lots of lavender. I simply tied them in small bunches after cutting and hung them head down, I renewed them one time before fruit harvest.
Thank you Mr Ben : )
I tried marigolds last year in my greenhouse and in beds as I had read that cats don’t like them and they have some affect on binder weed which I grow too successfully!
Loved the video
Love your videos just packed with information, you'v given me the know how to make my own fertiliser…. thanks ????
Three excellent flowers! Good choices if you have to narrow it down.
????great stuff
Hello,
I tried germinating marigold but had no success at all. Never had problems germinating any other seed. On the bag it recommended to chill the seeds in the refrigerator overnight to help them, I have done so but now I am worried that the cold may have damaged the seeds.
Do you have any tips?
Beautiful season flower
Great video! I am in west central Florida. I have marigolds in an enclosed area where the rabbits and squirrels cannot eat them. I planted blue borage in February and they lasted a few months and then got a bad case of aphids and died. I now have baby plants in many places around the original plant. I will transplant the seedlings to sunnier locations, as I think that may have been why the plant suffered. It's also warmer, and maybe they will do better now. I will try the sterile comfry. When you chop comfry and use it in your raised garden beds, do you remove the flowers first so that they don't reseed where you don't want them to?
Pop marigolds (i.e. calendula) have the edible petals, not these.
What are I growing in the cardboard box in the green house? I’m growing potatoes in mine first time ever ????
Roses are yet the best I feel, though marigolds are dandier than a pansy!
Hey man would any leaves do
I can’t find comfrey in the US… any one have ideas where to find it?
Great video I use many that you mentioned. I have one comfrey plant and am hoping it's easy to get some more from this plant. I use nasturtiums too.
Thanks love your videos they really help with my garden keep it up
