💪🏻💪🏻for both of us. Mercury will drop further in a few days. I likely will take it to the garage. It lighter (in a plastic pot)

@ I’d say it’s time for you to propagate her eh🤔😉😁Honestly! If it wasn’t for you overwintering a geranium I would have left mine out to freeze. This season I’m going to add 2 more varieties Thanks to you😎🙏❤️

🙏🏻👍🏻🌿

Thanks 🤗

Thanks. Yes, lately there are many nights with below zero temperature so many wilted. Hope they perk up once weather gets warm.

Must be to be able to work in the yard year round!

Yes they are! Thank you for your kind words! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I still recall buying them at end of season sale at Home Depot. They were tiny and looked sad. It was the color of the blooms on the plant tag that caught my attention. The Fall color is just amazing, unexpectedly shinny leaves in Fall

@ Wise buy that turned out better than you had imagined I bet. You worked your magic and they thanked you with 💐

Thank you for dropping by!

Thank you! It's quite a unique setup by my husband. I’ll pass on your kind comment! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

He has/knows no rule! 😅😅😅🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Glad you like the video! 😊😊😊

You have a good point! There are people walking their dogs and sometimes they do stop by. Hummm…… don’t know how to stop that though. There are small animals at night digging around. Not sure what they are looking for but I find dips in the ground from their digging. Some may have relieved themselves while digging. Thank you so much for the added info and thoughts. Very helpful. I feel like it wasn’t all my fault now. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for sharing your experience with your globe cedars! So glad to hear yours is coming back! Inspiring for me. I am thinking of turning switching front & back since the back side looks very good, unlike the front. but worry about the impact of digging it up. This was raised to a decent size from a a nursery gallon pot - hate to loose it. Thanks for your advise. You have such good memory on the vast selection you have. I have been loosing names and have to look them up. Glad to be able to move around the yard physically 😊😊

Thanks for your kind words! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Do not think this is its natural life span. There is something going on, my fault or not (or a combination of). I will try my best to revive though. Thanks for your comments! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks for your detail comments and the thoughts behind it. You nailed quite a few key points. Yes. it is next to a pedestrian walkway, which we salt heavily when it snows. Worse yet, when we shuffled, we dumped the snow there, right between the entry to the house (for the postman) and the driveway (for the car). This spot used to have an Autumn Joy Sedum that get cut back in Fall and is indestructible. We will be careful in the future but it has not snowed yet this winter. This is more exposed compared to what are in my front yard but I live in a busy street in the city, so not so much exposure to the elements but to city pollution, yes. It was transplanted September 23, 2023. There should be enough time given out lowest temp arrives in January or later. I did water it carefully the year after the transplant. You have helped tremendously already, knowing there is someone out there thinking this through with me🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I do not mind its look at all, just hoping it can come back some day. I will wait a bit and before I give up, I may try switching front and back. You also noticed the back being better looking. Again, your time and thoughts are very much appreciated! 😊😊😊

Thank you for your kind words! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you for your support!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It does! We love all the plants and enjoy sharing them! 😊

Thanks for being so supportive! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yes it does! Thanks for the encouraging comments!

Yes, a video on a maintenance prune back in October 2022. I was not intending to take cuttings but stuck a few cut stems in a pot and two rooted. I’ve given one to a friend. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZTahmWhg6iEpcUsi=4R6xvkIJb7V-zinS Thanks for your question!

Thanks for the great comment!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I prune back many of my conifers & shrubs to size often and they seem fine. The trick is to prune back often, minimum once a year. I cut at the joints rather than halfway on a stem for a natural look too. Many plants need clean up often since foliage does not last forever. I trim at the same time, if desired. Blue Star Juniper is a slow grower do naturally wider than tall. I plan to keep this to about 1.5 ft tall by 2 ft wide. Possibly keeping the one on standard slightly smaller to prevent snapping. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻for both of us!

kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaKykIGNbMube6Msi=89F05MwGZEyRLY3I This is an earlier video showing all 3 of my Blue Star Juniper when they were smaller. If you’re interested.

So glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Between the 2 of us, my husband is the creative one. He started keeping plants during the pandemic. To him, there is no “should do” but “can do”. Some surprises from time to time!

@ He’s more of the mischievous little rebel then lol! I’d say your energies compliment one another beautifully.

Yes those are modern buildings. The tour guide say there are a few Hollywood stars living on the island. Good eyes!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@ My jaw just dropped! Hollywood = American no? They’re cool buildings but they don’t really belong lol! Thank you for telling me, interesting!!!

So glad you enjoyed the brief record🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you so much 😀 Not many viewer comments on my camera work. So happy that you think highly of 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you so much for your support!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My husband use granular slow release for shrubs once in Spring. Hope this helps. Good luck with yours 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I’m on the west coast where winter is mild compared to the rest of the country. Our average low is -12 degree Celsius. My area is USDA zone 8. (Up from zone 7 a few years back). Yes, some of them are tiny and 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Thanks for your comments!

@ 👍🏼😊

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yes I feel the same way in winter. There are plenty that I can do if the weather cooperates but most of the time not! Lucky Spring is just around the corner. Thanks for your comment! Brightens my day !

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Was doubting if I should share this time of year! Showing as much as I can for those not out away! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰🥰

Thanks for the question.i would wait till after bloom to cut back. If there is none, wait till it gets warmer like in March/Aptil. Just a suggestion. Let us know how things go 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@@GardenNotes thank you

Well said. Agree! 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻

True. I will leave the next patch along so they develop seeds. Good point! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@ Loving that idea! Jasper is a winner.

Soil in our area is primarily acidic so there is no big need for me to amend. However, I do find keeping the soil consistently moist and planting in more shade helps. I used to have one in mostly sun and it was not happy at all. Good luck 👍🏻🍀

Let us know how things go if convenient 🙏🏻

How are yours holding up in the winter? Your area is much colder! Thanks for your comments!

Good question. I remove all foliage from previous year when new fronds are unrolling. I find this make sure the new fronds stay protected for longer. New fronds will have more space to uncurl. And have all the attention once it get bigger. This can also avoid having to pick out the old ones amongst the new when waited too long, hope I have explained well enough. 🙏🏻

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3WVgn5mfKtrh80si=RpyyQcTQ3X-j7HRu Spring cut back from 2023

kzbin.info/www/bejne/g33IgoGXjLygl7ssi=fn-OWeYRs4KyZA2e From 2024

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mam1loN8q5qojNUsi=x3GU6f4XPt3aQ7XF From cut back to summer 2024

Hope you find these helpful !🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I agree! She really is a stunner! 🥰 My husband does a good job with his house plants!

🤩 what a stunner!

@ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

You’re going to love it! It’s an awesome place to visit. I in particular like the warmer weather & the different vegetation 👍🏻👍🏻😊😊

Funny thing, after I told you this morning I’ve been thinking of Sardinia my friend in Sicily texted me and asked me to visit in spring. She must have telepathy lol! I won’t be traveling anytime soon. Too many living breathing obligations here. New additions arrived today. Amber Gold Mugo, and Blue Maltese Pinus Strobus from Oregon and 2 Orangeola JM’s from Mr Maple, 1 for me 1 for my uncle in Arkansas 🥳

@@cindyl3916 oh. And your animals too! Already taking delivery of so many! You’re way ahead! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I hope they are happy additions to your collection!

The location of this plant helped it through a recent strong wind. Only 2 branches were broken, which I also kept. 🤞🏻that the February March weather is better than 2024. So many flower buds were frozen & gone. Good thing about gardening, there is always next year!

​@@GardenNotesMy whole shrub was moving in the storm so i was worried about the shrub getting root rock (loosening of the roots) or the shrub blowing over.

@ Wow! Must have been some very strong wind!

Welcome to my channel! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊

Beautiful little shrub, i love the green buds and pure white flowers together.

@@derekwalker539 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊😊

Yes, especially when there is no snow to snap the branches 👍🏻

You are welcomed🥰🥰🌷🌷

Thanks for letting me know that you like the video. Made my day!
