Do I Have Early Access To Plants? No More Pink In The Garden? 🌸|| Q&A

Welcome back to another weekly Q&A! I just want to give you a heads-up-this week’s videos might be a bit different because we’ve been hit with a crazy amount of rain, turning everything into a mud pit! In today’s Q&A, we’re covering everything from garden projects to plant care, shed ideas, and even my thoughts on expanding our home. Plus, I’ll answer some of your top gardening questions, like the best seeds to direct sow, whether I’d ever hire a drone pilot, and how I organize my grow station.

Thank you for making garden content on a relatable scale. We don’t all have acreage and massive budgets. Yes sometimes a fence will take a couple of years to finish 😅 tho their content is enjoyable and inspiring, sometimes it makes me look at my lot and feel like I could never have it. 😊 thanks again! Good luck with the career change.

[@GardenHappy]

PERFECTLY SAID!!! 👍👍👍

[@ashleighmumford6764]

Agreed! So nice to see someone working on a small lot and deal with space challenges like so many of us.

[@AnnaWrycza]

Could you imagine adding a 2nd story on your home..like 360 degrees of windows looking out into the property..office/mini greenhouse feels! Perfect for seed starting and creative space for videos!!

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Don’t worry if you can’t plant this week, Robbie! We will enjoy your videos when you can do them! Hope you have a great week!

[@kathy5216]

Maybe a floral arrangement?

[@darlenegera8866]

Love hearing the train...such a lovely garden and you guys make my day 😊😊

[@DogWoodsFlowerFarm]

Not sure why I resisted your videos for so long. You are absolutely wonderful! It's been rainy and cold here in Texas so I've been going thru your video library. If you see a spike in old videos being watched and rewatched (my favorite is the fence espalier) it's just me snooping.

[@JustGarden-tks27]

The work you did on your house is beautiful!! Thanks for showing the before and after.

[@julvwildcat190]

I agree, you can tell how much they have done. It's amazing.

[@mainerstoo]

Wow! The changes you have made are amazing.

[@Patricia-jq6fq]

Your plant scoop is actually a feed scoop. Have one just like it. Try feed places,farm and fleet etc.

[@suzannestrauss9251]

Hi Robbie! Love watching your videos with all the fun changes and your dogs and birds! I saw your soil scoop and it reminded me of the ice scoop we had for the big ice freezers in hotels I worked in. Amazon has several different ones and prices ranges. Enjoy your week!

[@Maddieandelle]

I can’t believe the peony video didn’t do better please don’t give up I thought it was beautiful you guys did such a great job on it. Love all your videos 💕💕

[@Bloomwildly]

❤ It’s adorable how excited you get. Love what you do and do what you love. Keep living your dream 🎉

[@ordiekelleher2641]

I can't imagine why everyone is not enough people are here Robbie! Love you and huggers! ❤😊❤

[@AsHueWish]

The soil scooper looks like an ice scooper. Maybe you can search for an inexpensive ice scoop when looking for a lightweight scooper.

[@originalchoochoo]

Yes, restaurant supply on Amazon. Some of them are actually very reasonable.

[@carlarivas1238]

“The happiness it brings me is so worth it.” A Robbieism we should all live by in our garden and in our lives. Thanks for that reminder! Here’s a pie in the sky suggestion. Question - why not create a mini version of the front of your house in your backyard for a work space? Same color and trim……so cute

[@amyschmidt5523]

To be honest, I enjoy all your videos, I learn something new every time I watch one. I am pretty green to knowing anything about different plants. I've stuck on geraniums, pansies, cyclamen and a few box store plants, but now I am learning a lot about many plants. You and Janey have inspired me so much I am redoing my backyard. Took out the lawn. Putting in a paver patio, with lots of potted plants, mound here and there with flowing perennials and some annuals. Can't wait to see what showed up in the semi-truck, could it be plants!!! HAHAHA!

[@donellechandler3256]

Absolutely love starting my Monday with you!!

[@pamelacarroll]

Soil scoop - go to your nearest tack shop!!!

[@ashleighmumford6764]

The before shot of your house! Omg! What a transformation!

[@Holly_at_gypsyhollergardens]

Soil scoop , check in kitchen supplies ( dry goods scoops) or animal feed areas . 💙

[@rosewolfe614]

Do a video of a day at the shop and show yourself doing a couple of cuts. It would be fun for us to see you doing that job. Also it will be a fun memory to document your last days.

[@lyneece1956]

“I just had a semi truck pull up”. Great cliffhanger can’t wait to see.

[@cherielacroix3046]

You could build an addition and use the root cellar door as a trap door and put a area rug over it and still access it

[@GardenHappy]

You have become my very FIRST channel to watch every morning! 💙💚💛🧡💜 Liz

[@lyonhawaii]

Congratulations on starting your full time dream job!

[@janetroby5655]

Love your Edge Right ad. Even Freya has a cameo!! Wanted to let you know it is a constant pop up ad when im online, but im not mad about it. Congrats, Janet.🎉

[@newt52864]

Ohhh, semi truck with cool things !!!😜

[@barbaramccann7944]

Bought a GREAT garden scoop from The Gardeners Workshop; similar can be found in restaurant supply store or Amazon.

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

I use a bird seed scoop for soil! Works great!

[@stefmcclure9386]

Semi truck? Yes! Can't wait to see what's in it ❤

[@Mckersnoopy]

Morning Robbie Enjoyed this Q&A ❤

[@thefumblingcuisiniere]

Robbie I was so not expecting my comment in today's video, that absolutely made my day! ❤ Good luck with the extremely wet weather. We're in an extreme cold warning currently, expected to get down to -35°F today. 🥶

[@sandygroves5297]

Boy I must be really bad but I rewatched your peonie show from last week. I thought it was great.

[@KimFernandez820]

Just learned commenting helps your channel. So I will try to comment more often. I watch every day.

[@cyndireed2505]

Hey Robbie! Less than a week and you’re done at the barbershop! Woo hoo! Congrats! 🎉🥳🥰 I searched Amazon for “ice scoops.” There are a lot of options including one just like yours. AND, they have multiple sizes and include measurements in inches & how many ounces it holds. They are not expensive. The metal ones like yours range from $8-$18. IMO, the ones in the middle are best for soil. I’m excited to see the new project develop! 😊

[@pammowry604]

How about adding on to the front of the shed ? Just a thought. Love your channel. Praying you are successful in your full time creating. You can do it!

[@heatherk2693]

Yes go to the Philly flower show this yr or next! I would go religiously every yr but lately skip due to the crowds. I think content creators can go for the 😊sneak peek.

[@ruthd2261]

I have the green Handy Scoop from Kinsman Company. It is large, fits nice in my hand, holds a lot, and easy to use. Highly recommend! 👍🏻🙂

[@heatherh3099]

Haha...I have a little shovel like that too!! I use it ALL the time. Have you tried the bonsai soil scoops?

[@susanlateano4202]

Love your channel. I do miss it on the weekend but you do need a day or two off😊.

[@petalandpost-potagergarden]

Hi Robbie! I use a commercial ice scoop for my soil scoop, and it works great. It's lightweight and cuts down my time repotting by over half. Hopefully, you can find something that works as good for you. ~ Michell 💚

[@ordiekelleher2641]

Zinnias are good seed!

[@karenpapp8451]

Your foxglove video was great!

[@triciacullum7577]

Hey Robbie you and listeners are looking for a soil scoop, I got a great stainless steel with a wooden handle from Celtic Garden that I love. Just the right size for soil and great feel and grip on the handle. Hope you enjoy. Love your videos also. Good luck on your “retirement”.

[@baerbelbegnaud5802]

I love that beautiful table cloth you have on your table. I reminded me of the one I have, my mom had made that one.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Great Q&A, good morning everyone!

[@keelymccormick3652]

I got some soil scoops at Home Goods, kitchen section

[@sandragentz9442]

Hi Robbie Amazon has a great scoop. The company is Westco we have the 24 Oz scoop. Very handy.

[@mypreciousgarden]

Hi Robbie, it's a bummer that video didn't do well, I noticed and appreciated your efforts.Maybe the algorythm needs to see more of this kind to push it to a public that would like it ?

[@StaceyFernandes-ek9ks]

lol yipppppppeeee Robbie used my question!! hoping to see you in philadelphia at the flower show!! keeping fingers crossed!!! stacey from philly

[@vickiderks3931]

I would try looking for a scoop at a feed store. When I had horses I used similar scoops for their feed. Also I will be at the PNWF&G show on the 21st. Will look for you.

[@cherylsanatore7631]

I'm going to the Philadelphia Flower Show with my sister who is a Garden Club of America judge! I'd love to see you and Brent there!🎉🎉🎉

[@julvwildcat190]

I really enjoyed the foxglove planting video. it's such a bummer that it didn't do as well as you wanted it to.

[@carmelajackson216]

Come to the Philly flower show, please! 👏 March 1st thru 9th! I am super shy, but I will definitely come say hi, if you're there! 😊

[@ruthd2261]

Please don’t get discouraged… I TOTALLY noticed the difference in filming and presentation of your peonies video. I thought it was so informative and well done! Give it another try, another time. I so enjoy you. 🙂🪴

[@judymckerrow6720]

I guess that song it never rains in California is a misleading song ? 🤭 ❄️⛄️💚🙃

[@ReneByers]

***" it never rains in Southern California "

[@doloressanchez9214]

Love the dad joke or is it a gardner joke....dirt cheap! 😂😂😂

[@judymckerrow6720]

Oh man you’re a tease Robbie ! ❄️⛄️💚🙃A semi truck ? ❄️⛄️💚🙃

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

I’ve been looking for a long handle “ root slayer” shovel! Too short for me now! When I was your age it was fine but as the yrs have caught up with me I need longer handle tools! Nice recap !

[@lyonhawaii]

Saw Fox Farm on Amazon. Not as cheap as Robbie can get it but it is there.

[@susanlateano4202]

Can you extend the shed so one end is the office?

[@CyndiMiller-wk9rx]

Great Qand A I’d definitely say hi 😂

[@FrancesFuller-k2d]

Do you have any land behind maybe your shed that you could put a smaller tool shed

[@valautolady358]

Semi truck?? Can’t wait to see

[@Itsgardentime]

❤

[@barbarawilson2014]

Not sure if Northern California has Smart n Final stores but they have scoopers there. They aren’t for soil but they work well and they look very similar to yours and they have different sizes at the physical store but saw only one size online.

[@ruralangwin]

Here we go again. Another storm on the way Wednesday and Thursday. Did you see that incredible Italianate house listed in Oroville on that big lot? I know, I know Oroville.....

[@compmom42]

I found a great scoop at a local sporting goods store in Texas called Academy. Its a 58 ounce All Purpose Scoop.

[@ann-marierobinson1861]

Good morning Robbie! That looks like an ice scoop, tell your friend to check a kitchen supply store. We have one at work and it looks EXACTLY like yours! I’m always using the leftover nursery pot as my scoop but now I’m getting one like yours!! 😂❤ Ann Marie 🥰🥰

[@Itsgardentime]

Did You ever come across a plant called polemonium? Its popular in Poland in zones 6/7 but it might be fine for your garden as well. I have one called "heaven scent", it has dark foliage and blue flowers. It really is breathtaking 😊

[@CynthiaEscobar-e4v]

I’m in Southern California, and my local nursery has the Fox Farm Ocean Forest 1.5 cf bag for $30.

[@katherineridings7937]

I found mine at Hobby Lobby of all places!!

[@summitsandy]

Just dow!!!!ntime road in Davis, CA, For Farm potting soil costs $35 + !!!!!

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Robbie, I always enjoy your video's and also the Q&A. I use a old sugar scooper. I was a lunch lady for many years in school Cafeteria. And I got a I ld sugar scooper from a Cafeteria. It actually looks like your I can't even text right. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 It's stainless steel. Old sugar scooper. Love you Robbie and Brent. Thank yall for putting g up with this old woman. My only sister died last week. She died February 1st, Buried her February 5th She fought cancer for 3 and ahalf years. I miss her so much.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@Mckersnoopy]

I'm so sorry for your loss ❤

[@shawntelrichard2041]

Do you have an affiliate link with Bootstrap Farmer?

[@denisedooley6904]

Maybe the analytics from the new cinematic technique video show it’s you and your personality that draws views, not your camera angles. 😊

[@LauriOrkney]

I don’t know how this all works but that was a great video and it got lots of positive reactions 😊

[@FrancesFuller-k2d]

Amazon heavy duty restaurant scoop not a bad price or if you have a restaurant supplier in your area

[@judymckerrow6720]

I did the same thing with Garden Crossings, my cart was / is over $1,200 I DIDN’T delete it though 🤭 ❄️⛄️💚🙃 Believe me I won’t even be spending half of that, if I wanted to get rid of hubby I would spend it ALL, surely he would have a heart attack if I did. 🤭❄️⛄️💚🙃

[@estherharrison3786]

We had a flood here in West Virginia. It wash so many my plants away. My flower bed such a mess 😔

[@patl.4170]

The hurricane last year here in Tampa beat mine up pretty bad. I’m replanting now and trying to plant hurricane friendly plants but I so yearn for a cottage garden.

[@Itsgardentime]

Hello friend❤ I have a question for you. If you had to describe youreself as a flower what would it be? Im a rose. Really thorny rose... 😅

[@Itsgardentime]

And im not a rose because Im pretty. I just love roses and i can come across like I am high maintance which is totally false. 😂

[@GardenHappy]

Oh my goodness this is a GREAT question!!! I cant wait to see Robbies answer and why. ❤️👍❤️👍 Liz

[@GardenHappy]

OK here is my guess to what flower Robbie is: A Zinnia!!! Because he is COLORFUL, a crowd FAVORITE, UNIQUE and UNPREDICTABLE! No two zinnias are the same. And after seeing that bee crawl across his hand, it’s clear the pollinators love him! 💙💚💛🧡💜 Liz

[@joannbishop892]

Maybe you could trade drone footage for free haircuts. Lol

[@EvelynM-vlogs]

Your soil scoop looks like a stainless steel flour scoop.

[@darlenencambria]

The background noises, trucks, trains, dogs or roosters are not a problem. It’s life. Don’t feel bad. I would have said something to those women about the plates, shame on them. 🧡🌻

[@41murphy2]

🌷😊🌸👍💕

[@sandyduncan914]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@summitsandy]

pretty sure you don't need a license to fly drone for personal use especially if over your own property

[@DebWh]

Can you trade haircuts for the drone service? 😉

[@Peoniesandpinks]

What a tease!! You can’t leave a girl hanging that way!

[@katjo812]

Good morning! Trade haircuts for the drone cost!

[@Kathyc87]

I saw you had a small earthquake is everything ok

[@Mckersnoopy]

Semi truck? Why ended the video so quickly? You're a teaser, Robbie ❤🙂🌻

[@dennisscribner9949]
