As long as it’s in a sunny spot and is getting regular water, it sounds like you’re doing the right things. I did find information online that says a trumpet vine can take up to 5 years to bloom, so I would skip the fertilizer and see what happens in the next year or two. Will it ever bloom or should I dig it up? PAĪ: That’s frustrating about your trumpet vine not blooming yet. It’s true that if you put a nitrogen fertilizer on a plant that needs to bloom, it will encourage more leaves than blooms. I have not fertilized it since the first year, but it still has not produced flowers. Instead I got beautiful, thick green leaves. I unfortunately fertilized it in the first year, thinking that it would produce more blooms. WHBĪ: As long as those two cultivars are hardy for your region, you shouldn’t have to cover them or do anything special. I live in NC and we are expecting a couple of feet of snow this weekend. This is my first season with lavender (Provence and Grosso). Do you cover it during the winter? I have some agricultural fabric I just purchased and was thinking of covering mine but then got to thinking that the weight with the snow on top may damage the plants. Q: I believe I saw where you had lavender. PSĪ: It’s best to wait until an orchid has finished blooming before repotting it, so I would wait and enjoy the flowers first! I have Orchid potting mix and would like to put it in a larger container. It needs repotting can I do it while its in the blooming stage. Now it has one growth on it with lots of buds. Q: I have an Orchid that has bloomed three times. I also have vegetable-planting information under the “guides” menu but I haven’t created one for flowers yet. If you go to my website, you’ll see a printable seed-starting scheduler, which is primarily what I use. I still have some outside planting left to do etc.Ī: I know what you mean about it being hard to keep track of everything. I am exhausted and I didn’t get half the flowers planted I wanted to. Q: Susan, how do you organize your spring/seed starting/planting/etc. But, if you did use a fertilizer high in phosphorus, my other thought is that roses are typically transitioning into their second blooming period right now. If it’s higher in nitrogen, that would encourage healthy green growth rather than blooming. I also fertilize the seedlings when I transplant them out into the garden, and again about 2 weeks later.Ī: Which type of fertilizer did you use? (she later clarified it was a rose fertilizer) For flowering plants, the middle number in particular (which represents phosphorus) should be the highest. of fertilizer to a gallon of water, I use 1/2 tbsp. For example, if the label calls for 1 tbsp. When the seedlings are young, it’s best to mix up a weaker fertilizer solution. SDĪ: I definitely recommend feeding your plant starts because once they use up the energy stored in their seeds, they are essentially “running on empty.” I like to use a liquid high-nitrogen fertilizer such as Alaska Fish Fertilizer or another type of seedling booster fertilizer (Espoma has some nice products). I’ve planted them with Johnnys seed starting mix, and some have been in several weeks, but aren’t very big. Q: I’ve been meaning to ask you if I need to feed my starts with a fertilizer. I intend to use that method again in Jan. Resources on edible crops, that’s why I mostly started flower seeds with the winter sowing method. Since we really tend to focus most of our seed-starting time and Mist, milkweed and Queen Anne’s Lace ‘Dara’. The plants that did well were the ‘Stuttgarter’ onion seeds, love in a Strawflowers. Maybe those didn’t care for that method? But the rest The only seeds that didn’t germinate (no idea why!) were the white I think one of the main reasons I like the winter sowing method is because I can startĪdditional seeds without taking up precious space underneath our grow Q: I meant to ask you how your winter-sown plants did this year (that you did a video about in January)? JAĪ: Overall, the winter-sown seedlings did quite well.
