My relationship with roses is not exclusive: I love to come to plant sales with interesting and hard-to-find perennials and shrubs as well. These uncommon plants can really help to grab the attention of plant shoppers. In this video, I'll give some suggestions on where to find cool seed varieties, and how to stratify the seeds (if necessary).

This cute little black duck was the survivor a coyote attack on our farm, and as you'll see from the footage, she doesn't like to be alone. She's taken to following humans around the farm and visiting the neighbors when we're not handy. In this vid, we find a new home for our lonely duck, and it's a good one: with Chris and Stef from the Lovin Off The Land channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/lovinofftheland Sorry, not much gardening content in this video - but it's just a slice of our life around the farm.

Humidity can have a serious impact on how your plants grow - and when you're growing either indoors or in a greenhouse, it pays to monitor and address humidity through every stage. Plants early in propagation (germinating seeds and cuttings) usually benefit from a much higher humidity (70% +) while plants later in development usually benefit from much lower moisture levels. It varies by the plants, of course, but in this video I'll go through some of the basics of why humidity matters and what you can do about it.

One property of your potting mix you should be concerned with: does you soil have enough air spaces to maintain healthy roots? In this video, I'll demonstrate a quick an easy way to measure the approximate air-filled porosity (AFP) of your potting mix. The higher the porosity, the more air space there is for your plant roots - but it also means you may have to water more frequently. With a lower AFP, you can go longer between watering, but your plants may be more susceptible to root rot disease. Generally, a good AFP for containers and nursery production is between 15 and 25%.
