Thanks for watching!
Hi! I absolutely love your channel. Just moved to az so it is incredibly helpful!
Any solutions for birds eating away zinnias? I feel like I’ve tried it all! Thanks again!
Hi Angela! Are dahlias something that can be grown in Arizona? I haven’t had any luck finding information online. I’m zone 9b. Is there no way to grow them here? Is it the soil? Heat? I saw on the UofA flower planting guide for the low desert and I see dahlias listed but it’s listed as difficulty to grow. Any input is appreciated! Thank you!
Coneflowers love heat
Is 4 o clock best from seed or transplant?
Black foot.daisy almost hates water and loves heat. And blooms like.crazy and no.dead heading.
Where can I buy the seeds ?
Very interesting video! 🙂 I bet the insects have a great time in your garden.
Thank you.
Great channel. I grow a tropical fruit trees forest in my yard, recently been slowly adding flowers to it to makes the wife happy. Do you by chance sell some seeds combo containing most of these flowers? I don’t need much, just a bit of each. Thanks.
I’m re watching this video today for some inspiration and thinking what will do well in our heat with 3 hours sun which is all I can give for flowers . Prime spots are reserved for tomatoes and peppers .
I have had success with dwarf marigolds , vinca , blue lobelia , clasping coneflower and alyssum too , my garden being south facing gets sun only in the 2nd half of the year. Will try Snapdragon .
My all time favourite easy ones for the bees are mustard and basil .
Thank you thank you from the desert
Thank you it was very informative to get your know how love these flowers.
Love your videos. Very very helpful ! Can I ask where you got your arbor from ? Is that redwood ? Thanks.
What?!! You have Lovebirds?
Hello from Toronto.
Thanks for the tips and lessons.
Was wondering, have you done blueberries, blackberries or raspberries? How do they do with the AZ heat?
Hi Question what is the vine in back of you and does it do good in the heat?
Well done!
What kind of soil do you plant your sunflowers in? Mine all died.
Great list. Extremely helpful
Very informational, thank you for sharing. I love your videos and garden.
I live in Australia in 42 – 46 degrees temperature. I don’t think these will cut it.
I’m so glad I found you. We live in the same area and I desperately need all your advice because I love flowers, gardening but just don’t know how to do it in hot Arizona! Thank you. I’m looking forward to learning more from your videos to create the english garden I’ve always wanted!
