Oh my word, the roses on the arbor, wow-we-wow 🥰 Seems like the garden has grown so much just since the tour, everywhere you look is just beautiful. If my mom were still with us, and we lived even an hr from you, I know where we'd be headed for our Sunday ride 😊

[@aspiringviolinist5732]

The PW fertilizer is pretty $$ but so worth it. It is a chore to fertilize But I really enjoy it and it gives me time to observe the changes that are taking place daily. The rose arch looks amazing!!

[@conniesanrn2730]

I stocked up in January when it was under $12. Now it's almost $22. 😮

[@nicholasryan5401]

Greeting's from Ireland, Great video and lovely garden, My day is fertiliser Friday and I feed fifty seven pot's in the front garden with tomato feed. I have six pot's with annuals in them on the windowsills and the rest are perennial's. I feed the flower bed's in early March with fish blood and bone and then mulch with homemade compost, the flower beds do not get any thing else for the rest of the year

[@mkk1600]

They recommend fertilizing this often so they can sell this expensive fertilizer. You don’t need to fertilize that often. I buy regular Miracle and their Bloom Booster fertilizer with great results. It’s cheaper too.

[@inspiringgardenkorner]

Thanks for the tips, my garden is huge and I used a 2 gal water can and it take me pretty much all day. I went out and got one of those sprayer and man I got all of my plants in half the time. Thanks again

[@marilynamico3991]

Janie, could you show us a budworm and slug and then how to apply Bt and sluggo?

[@loriolsonoliver8144]

Aack! That would be disastrous! Those of us who need to spray Bt for budworm don’t wait to see them or our plants would be devastated. I spray once a week. One can just sprinkle a little Sluggo around the plant. Easy. Prevention is key!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Yes Marilyn! I’ll add that to my video list!

[@ms.kristin6909]

I’m such a nerd, but I love the themed days! I have tried Friday Fertilizer day for years, but Fridays are always so busy! Saturdays are the only day I can go to local nurseries so then it gets put off again! 😜 I like starting the week fertilizing on Mondays like you. Hard stuff first, get it checked off and taper off the work as the week goes on and gets busier…..Thank u for sharing! 💐

[@erinlee2431]

I really think the PW water soluble fertilizer is worth it!! I switched to it 2 years ago and saw so much improvement. Now I want to always keep up with it. Edit: I just do it once a week (Fridays are my day) even in the summer if I have water timer running daily. And still have good results!

[@nancygrams9784]

Oh my, the rose arch is spectacular! Thank you for sharing how you do your fertilizing. I really like the sprayer attachment for your hose. Have a wonderful day🐝🐞🌸

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Nancy! Have a great day!

[@livingportside]

I have fish tanks in my house and I save the water from water changes are water plants with that - the nitrates and other nutrients are already fully dissolved in the water column so the plants can begin usuing them immediately. And they grow tremendous.

I found some PW here in Australia. I planted 4 Supertunia vista bubblegum this summer just gone (we are in winter now) and they looked amazing. So many people asked me what they were so I’m hoping we will be more PW selection for next season 💖

[@Sunshine-tf4ul]

Hu Janey! Ive been watching your channel for a while now and i really enjoy seeing how your garden is just transforming into this beautiful garden! Lol, I was waiting and hoping youd show us how you fertilize your beautiful, amazing roses on that arch! Please, how do you fertilize those roses!

[@jamiepeterson4466]

GIRL!! Those roses!! If you read the label of the water soluble fertilizer it says that if you have a container that's about 3 feet wide then you're supposed to give it about 2 GALLONS of fertilizer. A 10 inch diameter pot is supposed to get about a half a gallon. Almost all my annuals are planted in pots. I use 3- 5 gallon buckets and put them in my garden cart and wheel them around. I use a vintage enamel pot to dip and pour the fertilize with. I'm doing good to fertilize them twice a month.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Oh my, that is why I can't stick exactly to the specifications, I would be spending alllll my time fertilizing! 😆

[@kayjane2115]

So, I just about hurled my lunch when I saw you pouring the fish and seaweed fertilizer, 😄, but seriously... I can imagine the smell. 🥴 Your garden is gorgeous as always! Happy gardening!! 👩🏼‍🌾

[@jstohlman]

All your hard work is really paying off! It is so beautiful! Do you water your annuals every day and for how long? Do you fertilize early so that it evaporates before it gets hot? Thank you for all your advice😊

[@conniesanrn2730]

A hoselink in charcoal next to your dark fence would look great! Then you wouldn't need to drag the hose from the front and around your rose trellis.

[@rgve3144]

I do the exact same thing. Having a yard schedule is a great idea and you won't feel so overwhelmed, especially if you have a lot of plants. Your storage space is extremely organized. I should organize my yard stuff as well. Did you do a video on that?

Yes I did! Its a garage organization video I think came out in January this year?

[@deborahmetcalfe8443]

So I've never met a hose end fertilizer sprayer that I trusted. 😄 I just don't think you can accurately tell how much you're using. There's a fair amount of guesswork in trying to determine how much you have left in the sprayer. I know you look to see how much of the granules are on the bottom to see if you can keep going, but to me that's still guessing on a product that, as you pointed out, is quite expensive. The method I use is one I first saw on Gardening with Creekside (Jenny). I use a 5-gallon bucket of water with 5 scoops of fertilizer mixed in. Then I use an empty fertilizer container and dip it in and then pour it on my plants. I use the fertilizer bucket that's the size of the PW water soluble fertilzer. I use one bucket per plant or sometimes half a bucket when the plant is still small. It's a bit more time-consuming than the hose sprayer, but less time-consuming than a watering can. And if you have kids it's an easy job they can do. My 11 yr old granddaughter does most of my fertilizing! 😊 Also wanted to mention that most of my plants are also PW, but after years of using both, I actually prefer Jack's Blossom Booster. They're about the same price but the phosphate count is much higher in Jack's (10-30-20) than PW (24-12-17) and I believe that's why Jack's give me more blooms. But sometimes I do rotate them. I also use the PW time release granules when planting. But it might be good to note that you can also use it on established plants. The spread rate is in the directions. 😊 (BTW, like you, I also have a LOT of annuals and some perennials to fertize. I garden on a 1/2 acre lot.)

[@peggy-ann1961]

Great info, thanks so much!👏🇨🇦

Disregard you just said why you use the hose you use.

[@pandorar1388]

Your garden is so gorgeous! I also garden in zone 9b, and it's so nice to learn from such a successful gardener in my same zone! I want to start doing the weekly fertilizer, I know it's especially important in a hot climate. Thank you so much for explaining the who fertilizing thing, I'm excited to try the PW fertilizer, but here's what confuses me.... when spraying the leaves with the fertilizer as you are today, aren't you concerned that you are washing off the BT for the budworms on supertunias and geraniums? I'm just not sure how to balance these 2 treatments and would sure appreciate your advice as you clearly have it mastered!

[@PokeStrikesBack]

Love your content. In another episode you talked about using sluggo for snails. How do you water/fertilize so that the sluggo doesnt get mushy and moldy?!?

[@peggy-ann1961]

Great question! I would like to know too, as mine got mouldy as well!😝🇨🇦

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

Hi, Janey - Question for you. Do you do any preventative spraying? For example, Laura sprays her verbena for budworms as she gets them every year. Is that a good practice? Do you use something like Neem Oil on your plants as a preventative measure? Thanks!

[@SuperLmsmith]

Could you possibly put seaweed fertilizer in the sprayer if you are covering more for organic use? If so do you have any tips on knowing when it would be out like the granule nonorganic?

[@alcg3981]

Thx for this! I do have questions😊! It looks like there is more topical than root fertilizing? If not using a hose sprayer, should we do half doses maybe? Does one of your bags usually last for all your annuals (one application)? This will be my first year fertilizing annuals. I'm in zone 6, it rains here more often than in your zone. Even in Summer.

[@kristinepeterson6761]

How do you fertilize your perennials?? Like your sages. I saw you do the verbena. I just planted a couple of the mystic spires sage and was wondering how to fertilize.

[@simplybloom]

I use that same fertilizer dispenser. I wish they could come out with one that has a long handle so I don’t have to bend over! I saw you sprayed the petals of the flowers. When I worked at a greenhouse they always told us to not spray the flowers, to just get the bottom of the plant, do you see any damage on the petals or flowers after you fertilize them?

[@digsindirt4490]

The gardens look amazing! Does the Monday fertilizing take the place of the regular drip irrigation watering? Since you go through about 2 of those containers a month, are you able to buy them in bulk and get a discount? Sorry for so many questions. I’ve never really fertilized my annuals (which is why they don’t look like yours - LOL) so now I want to up my annual game.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

I don't stop by irrigation on Mondays, I just keep it simple and add to it hoping the plants like the extra drink of water!

[@jomassey4207]

Hi Janey, I tend to water the garden first and then spray fertilizer as it will soak deeper and reach the roots better, plus you don't need to feed so often. Best to do any watering early morning or close to dusk, before the hot sun.....most of your fertilizer will stay on the leaves instead of reaching the roots. Helpful hints, Jo😊 Hope this helps, Jo.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Jo! My irrigation runs at around 4 am and I try to fertilize first thing in the morning! I don't always get to it, but I try! I appreciate the tip! 💗
