2
00:00:05,089 --> 00:00:08,189
hey guys today we are going to be

3
00:00:08,189 --> 00:00:10,590
propagating lavender and once you know

4
00:00:10,590 --> 00:00:13,860
what to do it's as easy as one two three

5
00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:17,940
takes patience but you can't ask for an

6
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:20,010
easier plant to propagate than lavender

7
00:00:20,010 --> 00:00:23,220
and I am gonna be propagating it because

8
00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:26,400
my lavender needed to be trimmed and to

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,750
me what does that tell me

10
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:32,040
that means more baby plants so let's go

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,190
do this and I will show you how to trim
12
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:37,140
your lavender and propagate your

13
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:39,090
lavender let's go check it out

14
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:41,370
hey guys I wanted to take a moment out I

15
00:00:41,370 --> 00:00:43,920
started to trim up my lavender here I

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,370
give it a little haircut and I got this

17
00:00:47,370 --> 00:00:49,620
one to trim back but now is the time of

18
00:00:49,620 --> 00:00:51,809
year you want to give your lavender a

19
00:00:51,809 --> 00:00:54,930
little haircut don't go too radical

20
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:58,109
I leave it just above the woody growth

21
00:00:58,109 --> 00:01:00,300
if you want to keep your lavender

22
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:02,280
looking beautiful and full you want it
23
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,210
to thrive so you got it trim it back

24
00:01:05,210 --> 00:01:08,760
alrighty and fall is the perfect time of

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,830
year to do it

26
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:16,710
there's no right

27
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:19,110
so with these trimmings what I will do

28
00:01:19,110 --> 00:01:22,500
is I will go ahead and propagate some of

29
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:24,659
my lavender I'm going to put it in some

30
00:01:24,659 --> 00:01:26,220
root tone hopefully I have some new

31
00:01:26,220 --> 00:01:28,050
plants which I will show you we'll do a

32
00:01:28,050 --> 00:01:30,240
walk through and then I will save the

33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,759
flowers and the leaves and even some of
34
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:34,650
the stems that I'm not using for my

35
00:01:34,650 --> 00:01:38,790
incense all righty guys so yeah let's

36
00:01:38,790 --> 00:01:48,990
take it to the propagation stage you

37
00:01:48,990 --> 00:01:56,399
have it while she's out of here so I

38
00:01:56,399 --> 00:01:58,020
showed you that I trimmed up my lavender

39
00:01:58,020 --> 00:01:59,940
and I have all my little goodies right

40
00:01:59,940 --> 00:02:04,020
here well I'm gonna go through these and

41
00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:07,050
I'm going to propagate some very similar

42
00:02:07,050 --> 00:02:09,539
to what I did with the with the pine

43
00:02:09,539 --> 00:02:12,690
this is a great time of year to go ahead

44
00:02:12,690 --> 00:02:15,000
and start trimming up your lavender you
45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,830
want to do it twice a year to keep your

46
00:02:16,830 --> 00:02:20,250
bushes nice and full and to get great

47
00:02:20,250 --> 00:02:23,940
flowers from your lavender plants see

48
00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:25,500
that isn't that pretty

49
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:27,750
it smells so good I kind of neglected

50
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:29,489
mine because we moved this year and

51
00:02:29,489 --> 00:02:30,989
they've been in pots they'd been waiting

52
00:02:30,989 --> 00:02:33,299
to get in the ground for a very long

53
00:02:33,299 --> 00:02:35,340
time I'm going to show you I'm going to

54
00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:37,829
pick out some good stems here and pour a

55
00:02:37,829 --> 00:02:42,239
little water in my pot get it ready it's
56
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:45,269
gonna pour out on my table nice and then

57
00:02:45,269 --> 00:02:47,100
the rest of it I'm going I'm gonna keep

58
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,829
a lot of this for when I make incense

59
00:02:49,829 --> 00:02:54,480
once again I keep my root tone in these

60
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,799
bags I try and be very careful with it

61
00:02:57,799 --> 00:03:00,900
all righty guys here is the root tone I

62
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:03,660
have used all three and I've had success

63
00:03:03,660 --> 00:03:06,000
with all three I do want to encourage

64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,250
you to wear gloves when utilizing it and

65
00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:10,970
if need be wear of one of those little

66
00:03:10,970 --> 00:03:14,730
masks the little dust masks or just be
67
00:03:14,730 --> 00:03:17,010
really careful you don't want to breathe

68
00:03:17,010 --> 00:03:19,470
it in its root tone so you don't want to

69
00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:22,019
get any of that dust in your lungs make

70
00:03:22,019 --> 00:03:23,549
sure you wash your hands after utilize

71
00:03:23,549 --> 00:03:25,709
ant but like I said I've had success

72
00:03:25,709 --> 00:03:27,220
with all three

73
00:03:27,220 --> 00:03:31,330
and yeah that's routine

74
00:03:31,330 --> 00:03:38,820
stop chewing on my microphone Hey step

75
00:03:38,820 --> 00:03:40,120
step

76
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,420

78
00:03:47,170 --> 00:03:56,770
only kissed coming out coming out and

79
00:03:56,770 --> 00:04:02,290
that is a product review yeah go play

80
00:04:02,290 --> 00:04:05,680
you can expect two to four years out of

81
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,940
a lavender plant maybe longer if you're

82
00:04:09,940 --> 00:04:12,010
real diligent about taking care of them

83
00:04:12,010 --> 00:04:16,060
they get real like STEMI and whatnot so

84
00:04:16,060 --> 00:04:18,970
what I did was as you saw earlier in the

85
00:04:18,970 --> 00:04:22,420
video that I trimmed up my two plants I

86
00:04:22,420 --> 00:04:24,430
am looking so forward to planting them

87
00:04:24,430 --> 00:04:26,770
this year and giving them a great head

88
00:04:26,770 --> 00:04:29,470
start I also am looking forward to
89
00:04:29,470 --> 00:04:32,200
propagating them when i propagate my

90
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,150
lavender i'm going to be sticking them

91
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:35,980
in a root tone i'm going to start by

92
00:04:35,980 --> 00:04:39,790
trimming off any blossoms and then i'm

93
00:04:39,790 --> 00:04:41,850
going to take the leaves back I

94
00:04:41,850 --> 00:04:46,600
personally like going with you don't

95
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,900
want to go with two woody stems see

96
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:53,320
where my gloves went out to get gloves

97
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,500
and I got lost along the way

98
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:59,140
so right here you're starting with some

99
00:04:59,140 --> 00:05:00,850
of the woody stem and then you're coming
100
00:05:00,850 --> 00:05:03,910
into the new growth what I'm going to do

101
00:05:03,910 --> 00:05:09,330
is I'm gonna break it off right here and

102
00:05:09,330 --> 00:05:12,220
I'm going to utilize this stem this is a

103
00:05:12,220 --> 00:05:15,790
lot of new growth here I have my cup of

104
00:05:15,790 --> 00:05:19,060
water right there I'm gonna dip it in

105
00:05:19,060 --> 00:05:21,700
there my root tone is almost empty so I

106
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:26,009
am just going to dip it right

107
00:05:26,009 --> 00:05:28,979
okay so and I have my finger's dirt here

108
00:05:28,979 --> 00:05:31,879
I'm just gonna slide it right in there

109
00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:37,199
my first guy a couple more times so any

110
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:39,599
of your perennials that are your woody
111
00:05:39,599 --> 00:05:42,089
perennials that start looking a little

112
00:05:42,089 --> 00:05:44,249
shaggy it's always good to make sure

113
00:05:44,249 --> 00:05:47,610
that you take the time to prune your

114
00:05:47,610 --> 00:05:49,469
plants because that's what's going to

115
00:05:49,469 --> 00:05:51,240
keep them healthy that's what's going to

116
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,159
keep them going fall time of year is

117
00:05:53,159 --> 00:05:54,839
great because you're heading into winter

118
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,809
it is November that as we're going into

119
00:05:57,809 --> 00:06:00,029
winter the energy is going to be going

120
00:06:00,029 --> 00:06:04,409
down into the roots to regenerate for

121
00:06:04,409 --> 00:06:08,879
spring keep in mind when gardening and
122
00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:11,069
trying propagation it's a learning

123
00:06:11,069 --> 00:06:13,259
experience and it's something you you

124
00:06:13,259 --> 00:06:16,889
can expect a lifetime of learning from

125
00:06:16,889 --> 00:06:19,559
because you learn new stuff all the time

126
00:06:19,559 --> 00:06:22,649
you can read it in a book but it's not

127
00:06:22,649 --> 00:06:26,449
the same as hands-on experience of my

128
00:06:26,449 --> 00:06:30,360
greatest I would say inspirations

129
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,599
mentors and gardening was my grandmother

130
00:06:32,599 --> 00:06:35,699
she was constantly doing this constantly

131
00:06:35,699 --> 00:06:38,729
taking little sprigs of things putting

132
00:06:38,729 --> 00:06:40,289
them in root on sticking them in the
133
00:06:40,289 --> 00:06:42,809
ground had plants around her all the

134
00:06:42,809 --> 00:06:44,939
time yeah she was my inspiration my buck

135
00:06:44,939 --> 00:06:46,979
Jack my little polish Ukrainian

136
00:06:46,979 --> 00:06:51,569
grandmother very careful with retune

137
00:06:51,569 --> 00:06:54,789
that's for sure and keep it away from

138
00:06:54,789 --> 00:06:58,479
pets keep it away from children and say

139
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:00,419
take it back like that

140
00:07:00,419 --> 00:07:05,110
take off your gear flowers I'll leave it

141
00:07:05,110 --> 00:07:08,050
like that just like that see that you

142
00:07:08,050 --> 00:07:09,879
don't want a ton of energy working on

143
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:11,319
going in to believe you want it going
144
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:23,840
into routing okay guys be right back

145
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,050
to my culinary lavender with your

146
00:07:28,050 --> 00:07:30,260
lavenders a lot of people are afraid to

147
00:07:30,260 --> 00:07:34,170
get into the culinary lavenders so I'm

148
00:07:34,170 --> 00:07:37,110
gonna take it just about that got a tiny

149
00:07:37,110 --> 00:07:39,240
little bit of wood eNOS there's the new

150
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,690
growth I'm leaving a little end on the

151
00:07:42,690 --> 00:07:45,840
tip for photosynthesis if you have ever

152
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,740
wanted to explore cooking with lavender

153
00:07:49,740 --> 00:07:53,750
it is wonderful I don't recommend using

154
00:07:53,750 --> 00:07:57,000
just any lavender you want to go with a
155
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,030
culinary lavender like lavender lemon

156
00:08:00,030 --> 00:08:03,030
stead it's an English lavender that is

157
00:08:03,030 --> 00:08:05,750
what I am pruning and propagating here

158
00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:08,100
people assume that they're going to be

159
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:12,240
extremely floral well yes if you go with

160
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,490
a French lavender they have a higher

161
00:08:14,490 --> 00:08:17,400
camper content and they're really good

162
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,320
for soaps for sachets etc they're

163
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,020
breaking a little more easily so I'm

164
00:08:25,020 --> 00:08:26,880
gonna go with little baby ones like that

165
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,780
they'll have bitter notes to it and a
166
00:08:30,780 --> 00:08:33,390
little heat to it lavender is a

167
00:08:33,390 --> 00:08:35,250
wonderful sleep aid

168
00:08:35,250 --> 00:08:38,250
I love propagation and the reason I love

169
00:08:38,250 --> 00:08:41,479
propagation is because well you know

170
00:08:41,479 --> 00:08:45,480
plants are expensive and we're on a

171
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,750
budget and I make the most out of what I

172
00:08:48,750 --> 00:08:51,360
have if I come across the plant I would

173
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,270
love to have all propagated darn it

174
00:08:54,270 --> 00:08:57,120
broken well if there's a real nice

175
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,730
propagation is good for the plants good

176
00:09:00,730 --> 00:09:05,740
for us and it makes the world a more
177
00:09:05,740 --> 00:09:09,100
beautiful place I think this plants are

178
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:12,970
awesome alright just about a few more of

179
00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:15,940
these so last but not least I take a

180
00:09:15,940 --> 00:09:18,610
little ziplock bag and I go ahead and

181
00:09:18,610 --> 00:09:21,820
keep it tented keep it hydrated and

182
00:09:21,820 --> 00:09:24,610
don't keep it with wet feet because that

183
00:09:24,610 --> 00:09:26,530
won't be good but these little guys are

184
00:09:26,530 --> 00:09:28,240
doing pretty darn good they've been in

185
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,010
there about a week and they're trucking

186
00:09:30,010 --> 00:09:32,620
along by spring we should have some

187
00:09:32,620 --> 00:09:35,500
little sprout wings and even then you
188
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:37,210
still want to make sure that you're

189
00:09:37,210 --> 00:09:39,790
careful and how you handle them when

190
00:09:39,790 --> 00:09:41,650
they're pretty darn young I wait till I

191
00:09:41,650 --> 00:09:43,120
start to see a little bit of growth

192
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,390
coming from them before I will actually

193
00:09:46,390 --> 00:09:48,580
go and transplant them from that little

194
00:09:48,580 --> 00:09:51,580
container there is the lavender Munstead

195
00:09:51,580 --> 00:09:55,990
all tented it's just doing its thing no

196
00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:58,510

197
00:09:58,510 --> 00:10:02,370

198
00:10:02,370 --> 00:10:03,800
[Music]
199
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,810
okay so when you start tuna plants

200
00:10:06,810 --> 00:10:09,330
getting to woody to outgrown your

201
00:10:09,330 --> 00:10:10,860
hitting they're just not yielding the

202
00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:12,779
same the beautiful thing about

203
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:15,120
propagation is you can keep it going you

204
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,820
can just keep on trucking with it so yes

205
00:10:17,820 --> 00:10:20,730
