You're welcome!

Established roses bounce back quickly! The rosarian's goal was to reduce the overall size of the plant.

We recommend waiting until the fall when temperatures grow cooler. Most pak choi grow best in cool weather. Yours will bolt (flower) too quickly if you plant them outdoors now.

We appreciate your positive feedback.

We appreciate your kind comment.

Thank you so much!

They are fast-growing and require only a little fertilizer initially. I tend to add slow-release fertilizer to my pots at the beginning of the season. Then I replenish it as needed after it is used up. There are lots of great OMRI Listed products on the market.

what type of bok choi is that?

It is an 18" x 18" pot.

Perhaps in the next video. We hope that you enjoyed it nontheless.

All are very good for bees, except Silver Linden. Click here to read a great article about trees for bees: fafard.com/the-best-trees-for-bees/.

That is super! Enjoy!

This post was placed in 2017. I did not make another video due to time constraints. It worked and looks much like other raised potato structures. The only change I would make is to reduce its height by a couple of feet shorter and make it a foot or two wider. I did have some unexpected deer problems. It was the first year that deer attacked my bed in this garden, and they like sweet potatoes. I may make another this summer. If I do, I will post the results.

Thank you!

Hope you like it! We look forward to reading your reviews.

Hydrangeas with mostly bracted, sterile flowers do not feed bees, but all smooth hydrangeas are larval host plants for several important pollinators, including the hydrangea sphinx and the hydrangea leaf-tier moth. Choosing a lacecap smooth hydrangea will encourage lots of bees to visit. I recommend Invincibelle Lace™ Smooth hydrangea, which is also very high performing and has loads of pollen- and nectar-filled flowers. www.provenwinners.com/plants/hydrangea/invincibelle-lace-smooth-hydrangea-hydrangea-arborescens-subsp-radiata I am aware that Nerium oleander is a popular European shrub, but it is very toxic--especially to animals and small children. Human adult fatalities are rarer. I encourage you to read this article on the subject for clarification: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8619248/

Very little is added, but some water-holding capacity is needed for many succulents.

Thank you 😊

You are welcome!

That is a very good question. Good seed companies will say that they need to be surface sown. Either way, sowing them along the surface and lightly raking them in is a good method. Take care!

Thank you! Cheers!

It is invasive in some areas, but there are some sterile varieties that can be grown in all areas because they do not produce seed. 'Miss Molly' is one of many. www.provenwinners.com/plants/buddleia/miss-molly-butterfly-bush-buddleia-x

Bees love plants in the mint family! Both mint and oregano can easily be grown in pots to keep them from taking over. Salvias of all kinds and Agastaches are my favorite mints for bees.

Good luck!

I grew 'Fantastico' this year as well, and they are just ripening. It's an AAS winner that achieved the award after successful growing and excellent taste results nationwide. Give the fruits some more time on the vine to develop their sugars. You may have harvested it too early. Temperature also impacts flavor. The plants need warm nights and days to sugar up. One other point: I avoid using fish emulsion for the fertilization of certain edibles. I have super strong taste buds, and I swear that it impacts taste of fruits, despite what others might say.

Whoa! We are not certain. More information is required. For us, the tomato has been super tasty and gets rave reviews elsewhere. Your fertilizer regime is more aggressive than ours, and we are cautious about our use of fish emulsion for certain edibles, especially close to harvest time. Try a less fragrant fertilizer, water regularly, and make sure your soil is high in organic matter and drains efficiently.

You should!

Heuchera, Tiarella, Epimedium, Pulmonaria, Helleborus, and Woodland Phlox are all good shade perennials with flowers that feed bees.

Thank you for sharing this information. I get that ginger flowers are delicious

They are all sun-loving and summer-blooming. Click on the links for more information.

Excellent! They really like your mild climates.
