We got our basics covered in our first Planting Herb Pots video (link), and in this video, we’ll add a few extra plants to make it even better. We’re growing a pretty patio bay tree underplanted with Cuban oregano (mmmmmm…smells so good!), and some gorgeous marigolds that add a pretty botanical flourish to salads and cheese platters.

I decided to put herbs in all the pots on my deck this year, and I’ll show you how I did it, how they grew in (and what didn’t go according to plan). We’re growing sage, chives, thyme, marjoram, cilantro, parsley, mint and more, using organic potting soil and organic fertilizer. I almost scrapped this video because it didn’t go exactly how I planned, but stay til the end to see the final result!

Your efforts to get rid of dandelions can go a long way in the month of April. Dandelions are growing rapidly, flowering, and setting seed this month. If you pull them now, you’ll prevent them from flowering, and stop them from creating seeds. You might not get the whole root on the first try, but if you keep pulling the leaves as they appear, you’ll prevent the leaves from photosynthesizing and feeding the root. Also, at this time of year, your lawn is growing fast, so it fills in the holes left behind when you pull out the dandelion. No matter which tool is your favorite, NOW is the time to get out there and pull those guys out of your lawn!

Species tulips are an easy tulip to grow in your garden. They add bright color on slender stems in mid-spring, they perennialize (return and bloom year after year), and they naturalize (spread on their own) in the garden so you’ll have a more impactful display over time. The slender foliage on this tulip also fades gracefully after the tulip is done blooming, so you’re not left with large yellowing leaves in the garden. ‘Cynthia’ is a favorite for its bi-colored red and yellow petals.

Late winter is a great time to deadhead and prune your hydrangeas to get them ready for spring growth. It can be a little confusing to know how to prune them because some bloom on new wood and some bloom on old wood. Susan will explain the differences between these growth types and walk you through an example of pruning each type.
