Fraser Valley Rose Farm

I've grown roses in pots using both slow-release fertilizer and a water soluble blend. In this video, I'll discuss some of the information sources I've used to make my current fertilizer recommendations. To cut to the chase, while you can grow good roses over a wide range of NPK ratios, my experience, the literature and research seems to support a higher N, lower P and mid to high K. The simplified ratios 3-1-2, 3-1-3, 3-2-2, or 3-2-3 (as locally available at a good price) would each do the job, but for best plant health should also be formulated (or amended) with Mg, Fe and Ca and micronutrients. Note also that there's little support for the high P formulations often marketed as "rose food". For a quicker discussion (without books & research) aimed at the home gardener, here's a point-form video on the topic: If you find these videos useful, here are a few things you can do to help us out: https://youtu.be/865vhlajZp8 Send a tip: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fvrosefarm Have a look at our Amazon shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/fraservalleyrosefarm Drop us a "Like" on our Facebook business page: https://www.facebook.com/FraserValleyRoseFarm/ Leave a review of our farm on Google: https://g.page/r/Cfi8qXv8QReZEBE/review For shareable articles on roses and gardening: https://www.fraservalleyrosefarm.com/articles-on-roses-and-gardening/

It was my pleasure to visit Exemplar Horticulture this week. Exemplar is a specialty producer of ornamental grasses, perennials and a whole range of other interesting plants. Julia from the growing team led an overview & demo of their grass division process on calamagrostis (feather reed grass). Many thanks to the owners, Paula & Greg for having me out to the nursery for this demo and tour. I'm also grateful to Julia & Rajpal for the tour and demo, and everyone else on the team who welcomed me onto the site. Incidentally, for those who follow my channel, Paula & Greg were the managers who hired me straight from horticulture school many years ago. I worked under their leadership for many years (at a different nursery). It's exciting to see how far they've taken their new venture, and I can't wait to see what else they'll do with it.

We try to make significant improvements to the presentation of our farm every year, and our time for that is the fall. It's after the retail season, and we have a little more time to reflect on what worked (and didn't!). The thumbnail and early garden scenes are from a walk Lisa and I took through Sendall Gardens in Langley BC for inspiration. Yes, we're exactly that geeky about plants! A couple of questions I'll answer here in the description, even though I expect I may have to answer again to comments: 1) Yes, we'll have some mix of roses and/or clematis climbing both of the metal pergolas we've already built, as well as the custom (curved garden) shade structure to follow. I don't yet know which ones, but will update you when they go in the ground. 2) I don't expect that Lisa will often join me for videos, so I'm happy you got to meet her. It made a lot of sense for this subject because she's the big-picture thinker for garden and nursery projects. For more routine garden and nursery videos I'm generally more comfortable with the topics, and so we just follow a natural division of labor.

Frequent gifts for Mother's Day, housewarming, or Valentine's - these pretty little mini roses hold up for the occasion, but sometimes just barely! Going from warm greenhouse conditions to an air conditioned grocery store, and finally on to your dining room table takes its toll on a plant. They run out of nutrients, root space, and can look like heck once their blooms are spent. Let's talk about how to "save" these mini roses and put them back into good condition for your garden or patio.

Dividing perennials in the spring or fall (mainly) is a great low-cost way to add plants to the garden or create extras for selling or gifting. I usually divide into pots for a few reasons, but the main one is that it gives me flexibility around the timing (and therefore placement) of planting. In this video I'll talk about some of my other reasons for dividing into pots, and also briefly discuss some overwintering considerations.

Timing is everything in the garden, and in my northern temperate climate the beginning of September is when you usually shift your focus from deadheading and think about dividing many of you perennials. In this video I'll divide four examples: monarda, sanguisorba (very small divisions), festuca ornamental grass, and hostas. It goes without saying (or maybe not!) that you'll have to evaluate this timing and advice as it applies to your own climate & hemisphere. As you go into lower latitudes and warmer climates, you may push back into later months or even get to the point where these particular seasonal differences are irrelevant.

I had the opportunity to visit Ben and the team at Heirloom Roses in Oregon. While taking a walk around the nursery, we talked about rose growing tips that will be useful for both professional growers and the home gardener. Many thanks to Ben and the team for their hospitality. I was extremely impressed by the level of care given to producing healthy, vigorous roses for their customers - and their assortment is phenomenal! They also host an excellent channel of their own on YouTube.

I start a second batch of perennials seeds from mid August, taking advantage of our long fall season to get a good start for next year. Some perennials like aquilegia, geum, salvia nemorosa and dianthus are actually reluctant to go dormant in cooler temperatures - giving us valuable "bulking" time. Others actually require cool temperatures (vernalization) for flower initiation. A wide variety of hardy perennials are adaptable to this approach - but it helps if you're prepared with some additional protected (indoor, greenhouse, etc) space in case there's a quick cold snap or two before they're ready.

I have a propagation failure to show you. It's not a big, spectacular failure like the cuttings melting down with rot, or dropping all their leaves and crisping up. In fact, these blueberry cuttings seem quite happy to stay green and relatively plump, but there's little sign of pull-back (rooting) or callus. Let's take a closer look... It's important, I think, to note that I may not yet have the solution to the problem even after this closer look. What I have is a little more information, and the makings of another attempt. Plant propagation is all about persistence. While many plants will root from stem cuttings with the same basic conditions and methods, other plants can be quite particular about the stage (ripeness) of wood, temperatures, time of year, rooting hormone. In short: each plant can be a little different. My modest (but non-zero!) success rate only serves to motivate additional attempts. If interested, here's a link to that study I was looking at on blueberry cuttings: https://www.agricultforest.ac.me/data/20180930-07%20Braha%20and%20Petrit.pdf If you find these videos useful, here are a few things you can do to help us out: Send a tip: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fvrosefarm Have a look at our Amazon shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/fraservalleyrosefarm Drop us a "Like" on our Facebook business page: https://www.facebook.com/FraserValleyRoseFarm/ Leave a review of our farm on Google: https://g.page/r/Cfi8qXv8QReZEBE/review For shareable articles on roses and gardening: https://www.fraservalleyrosefarm.com/articles-on-roses-and-gardening/

Here's our crop of peaches from trees grown under plastic at the back of our greenhouse. Winter protection isn't really necessary here: peaches are plenty hardy in our zone 8 climate. It's more an issue of protecting the trees from the ravaging effects of peach leaf curl during our coot, wet spring. The extra heat from the greenhouse does push along ripening I suppose too! I've seen other local gardeners succeed with peach trees under an overhang against a south facing wall.

Would you call this method deep mulch? No-till raised beds? Just good old-fashioned top-down soil amendment? Whatever you want to call it, a deep layer of bulk organic (mainly composted wood material) allowed us to overcome the difficulties of our heavy clay-like, crusted soil to established this long mixed border in less than one year. Visitors to the farms have commented "well you must have a pretty good soil to begin with!" - then I show them the exposed area. Dry, cracked, lacking organic matter. On its own, it's a difficult surface for new plants to overcome (especially in the dry season). Mulch moderates the moisture, temperature, and gives young roots a foothold in the garden.

I'm always happy to have a look at new technology, and goodness knows we have enough lawn to give this a try. This is a Robot Lawnmower at the Kickstarter stage - and instead of using boundary wires, it maps the area by satellite and plans a full mowing pattern, resulting in more straight lines and less time "wandering". I hope you find this look at the product interesting! the KOWOLL company will re-launched the KOLMOWER M28E on Kickstarter. To ensure you stay informed about their latest news and updates, follow them on social media and join their Facebook group. They are also working on other new smart lawn- mowing products, so please be patient, as it won't be long before they return with these items.

I met (over Zoom) with Shelley from Kawartha Family Farm - a home-based plant nursery in Ontario, Canada specializing in perennials. We wanted to compare notes on our planning and results in the nursery business so far. Since a number of my channel viewers have also expressed an interest in working on their own backyard nurseries, I made the meeting into a video to share the conversation with you.

They're small, they're fast, and they're clever - thrips make for a difficult opponent in the garden. As a pest, their damage can range from minor an cosmetic all the way up to devastating. In this video, I want to show you the signs of their presence, how to confirm them as your pest, and then what measures you can use against them. Good news: even if you remained oblivious to these little guys, the beneficial insects and mites are already on the case: pirate bugs, lacewings, predatory mites are already feeding on your thrips. Does it make sense to supplement their numbers? That depends on the severity of the damage and your tolerance for "waiting it out" until the good guys get the upper hand.

One very rewarding method of plant propagation is division - and because I grow a wide range if perennials, this is my go-to method for turning existing clumps into free plants in a short period of time. It's easy, it works well for most perennials, and it's even beneficial to rejuvenate well-established plants. Here I'll demonstrate on hemerocallis (daylily), but you can also do iris varieties and oriental poppies during the summer. If you're a little fearless, many other perennials will come through summer division - you just have to attend to watering and mild conditions after they're replanted.

Here's a follow-up video (with results) from my ongoing rose and perennial plant propagation under humidity domes. With more controlled temperatures indoors, I'm using this as my primary method for rooting new plants this year - it gets pretty warm in my greenhouses even under mist. Here I'll discuss some of the next steps and timelines: early root development, hardening off and then pruning and repotting.

Here's a selection of heat tolerant perennials - and some not-so-tolerant ones that would require extra care. I find it useful to know the families of my plants - members of the mustard or buttercup families are notoriously heat sensitive, while those in the aster, mint, amaranth and euphorbia families are far more likely to perform well in warmer weather and climates. I didn't even try to go through all the options for heat tolerance - but if you have some recommendations to share, I'm sure we'd all appreciate you writing about them in the comments section.

Even as we're faced with the long and hotter days of summer, it totally makes sense to prune your roses, other spring blooming shrubs and perennials. For repeat bloomers, this will help speed a return to flowering. For once-bloomers, it's a good time to address size, shape and health - and still give time for the plant to ripen stems for flowering the following spring.

You may associate cactus with warmer climates, but some varieties grow nearly to the arctic circle and will withstand temperatures down into the -50 degrees range. I recently took a tour of Canada's largest hardy cactus garden courtesy of John and Kelly Schroeder in Naramata BC. I was impressed by the range of flower colors and other ornamental features. Their health and vigor in this demanding climate was truly impressive, and you'll also be able to see how valuable these plants are in supporting bees and butterflies. If you loved any or all of these varieties, here's a link to their mail-order business selling the cactus pads (Canada only): https://www.naramatacactus.com/#/ Many thanks to John and Kelly for the tour and their hospitality. Apologies to viewers on the audio quality in places. I kept it down to one mic over concerns about wind noise. Turns out to have been a good call, but it also means that you'll barely hear my questions or comments in places. Three tour videos in a row!

Even though we're on-grid for power, it can be pretty unreliable during weather extremes - making power backup a life or death situation for our plants. Aside from emergency use, I'm quite pleased to have something so quiet and portable to provide power on or off the farm. I'm already planning to take this on daytrips, video shoots and even to the farmers market.
