I’ve been watching your videos since they were first created and have loved every one. My suggestion for a future video is how to improve the soil for the many flower and shrub beds in a yard. Some are along fence lines, others are under trees (both pine and maple varieties). The soil is generally what was left after the builders finished the neighborhood. It’s hard and dry in spots, sandy in other spots.

Hi Susan, thanks so much for your videos. I appreciate all your information and your very positive attitude about gardening. A couple ideas that I think would be fun is how to reseed the lawn, that’s a project I’m working on and then I’m wondering, do you ever give tours of your yard and garden? Thanks, Annie

Hi, Susan. I have added those to my list. I will admit that raccoons are incredibly challenging to deal with because they're so intelligent. Here are a few ideas in the meantime: use organic animal repellents such as Plant Skydd (be sure to read the label to make sure they're safe to use near edible plants); some folks use ultrasonic animal repellents that emit high-frequency sounds; motion-activated sprinklers work well is there's a specific area they repeatedly go to. The more expensive route is to surround the area you're trying to protect with a sturdy wire fence or electric fence. Be sure not to leave any pet food outside at night.

Hi, Maria. Usually, when there are ants in a compost pile, that means the pile is too dry. I would recommend keeping the pile materials lightly moist, which will speed up decomposition. You don't need to add any kind of insect control products, organic or otherwise. I hope this helps.

A question about days to maturity…..you mentioned it’s the days between planting a seed or a seedling into the ground….. Why doesn’t the countdown start when the seed is placed in soil whether it’s inside in a starter tray or outside in the ground? If I procrastinated planting a seedling outdoors, I thought those days would count. 🤷🏼‍♀ Thank you for always sharing such helpful information.
@SusansInTheGarden

Hi, Kim. That is a great question. I used to think the same thing until I learned otherwise quite a few years ago. Here's why: if you start a plant indoors (which I primarily do for almost everything) and then transplant it out into the garden, the seedling takes a while to adjust to the new conditions. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but that's the case. Starting seeds indoors is a must for getting plants going, esp. plants that need a long time to grow like tomatoes and winter squash, but they still have to settle in a bit before they continue growing. And thank you for your nice comment!

Hi, Tina. That's so frustrating. I always recommend that folks inspect their plants before bringing them inside to see if there are insects present, or hose off the plants when they bring them indoors for the winter. But there are a couple of things you could do. One is (if it's feasible) to put your plants in the shower and "hose" them off that way. Or you could buy either insecticidal soap that is labeled to control aphids or Neem oil from a garden center. It is really important that you follow the label directions. Good luck!

Wow! You definitely pinpointed my dilemma Exactly-Shipping!! I was recently trying to find a company that offered all the seeds I was looking for-(Long Sigh)-Not a One covered all of what I need. I have Many seeds and only need a few particular varieties of veg and flowers. Worst to best shipping: By dollar amount of order, meeting a max amount on order for free shipping, flats rates can be reasonable and free shipping. I mean, they are only seeds and they aren’t shipping them across the pond 😵‍💫. So without a nice chart like you have I have several sites open and trying to search and compromise to see if I can order from Just One place-Impossible. I mean if I add $7.50 shipping to a $5-6 seed pkt-THATS CRAZY! I don’t need anymore tools or that many seeds so I could never meet that free shipping level. I have a serious amount of seeds already, but I’m zeroing in on those varieties that do well. Speaking of messing with genetics-I am not adverse to hybrids or non organic, but do find it troubling to see flowers that don’t produce seed. For that reason I need to consider finding more right varieties that are OP for my garden with short maturity dates. I’ve noticed price increases as well this year and need to start safeguarding all around, be it genetics or cost. I do get on email lists of companies I do bz with and it helps if you read your emails daily 🧐😉 as some offers are only for A Day. So I guess if I want to try Lisianthis flowers I will need to make a decision soon of what shipping charge I feel is worthy. The Wisconsin Vegetable Gardener website has discount codes for many companies and one is for Jung Seeds. Just look under their Money tab to get the current code for 10% off! It sure does help with shipping 👏🏼👏🏼 Great timing on this subject-thank you.

Oh Susan I dream about seed catalog day. Beautiful photographs of lush plants growing in deep dark soil. It's like a fairy "tail" tale. I live in the "cement capital" of Texas. 1/4 inch of top soil then rock forever. Raised beds are a must. Adding yards of soil each growing season. That is my first order. Planting early is a must. Who knew moving 125 miles west from East Texas with its thick sandy loam soil and rainy summer showers. Now back to the real world. tomatoes, peppers, early lettuce, beets, radishes and greens. Strong fencing and shade cloth. Take care Susan always love your videos. Have a great week.

New to amaryllis but it's one of the most beauty's flowers. I just purchased 2 bulbs. I live in southern California so I just planted it outside in my garden, should I wax it instead? I'm seeing a lot of people wax them but I'm not sure why, especially when Google is telling them after the wax is removed, it may never bloom again.

I'm not sure why anyone would wax them, esp. if you live in an area where they can grow outside year-round (I'm envious!). I would not recommend that, no matter what. But if you were given a waxed Amaryllis as a gift, for example, you can safely peel off the wax after it has finished blooming, and then either repot it in potting soil or plant it outdoors if you live in a warm climate.
