[@PeggyMills]

Love that you included a photo of your own, Michelle. I think you should do that each time.

I’m surprised that you didn’t reach that subscriber number much sooner. You have great energy and teaching. Thanks so much for doing interesting projects and answering our questions to help us like you do.

[@gardeningTLC]

You are so welcome

[@rosemarythyme6351]

I'm looking forward to the Live Chat on the next Garden Gab. It is where friendships blossom on KZbin! ❤❤

[@jennifergreene8891]

Great video! Love all the beautiful garden pictures everyone shared. Thank you!

[@gardeningTLC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@maryk1668]

Love the photos sent in ! Nice to see gardens done by the homeowners themselves. I enjoy your channel for that reason- you inspire the love of gardening. Nothing like getting your hands dirty to produce beautiful results. Even weeding --there is so much satisfaction in cleaning up a flower bed by digging them all out. I’m sure not everyone is bitten by the gardening bug, but many of my friends are and your channel keeps gardening real and doable.

[@gardeningTLC]

Thank you so much!

[@barbb.9489]

Steph, the gardens look beautiful. I especially adore the green nifofia. Will you add more of these? 😂❤😂

[@carmenbailey1560]

Love your videos, information and most of all your energy. Thanks for sharing with us. 👍❤️🙂

[@shirley911]

I enjoy your channel because of you: your personality, enthusiasm, knowledge, broad range of subjects, and videos that address problems and solutions for beginning to experienced gardeners. Thank you for startingthis channel.

[@gardeningTLC]

Thank you

[@kellymichalec9126]

I especially can’t wait to see it with your fence! Ok, off to watch more of your movies for I just found you!

[@karenlynn1956]

Congratulations on 26k subscribers. Thanks for sharing my pic. I looked for my plant zone on google & its 7a. But I thought it was 6, they must have changed it. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@DJ-ve7jm]

Thank you for posting my pictures. We just had a major storm last night. Everything survived except for our much loved tiger eyes sumac. The 50-80 mph winds ripped it right out of the ground and blew it away.

[@gardeningTLC]

OMG. I hope everyone is safe.

[@DJ-ve7jm]

No injuries reported. Trees and structures damaged.

[@michellefrance1165]

Your awesome great video and photos! Looking forward to the live chat 😊

[@trishferrer8209]

You have only been on KZbin for 17 months? Wow!! You are good at this. I love your videos! I'm in zone 8a, west TN. It's tooo hot!!! Thank you so much for your fun, informative content! 😊

[@gardeningTLC]

My pleasure.

[@daphmahowell7836]

Thank you for posting my question on those chipmunks in my flower and planting those 2 new shurbs , if I needed to dig them up to check to see if there is damage to the roots , Happy to say I think I got rid of the 3 chipmunks that has made a home in 2 different flower beds , and I check each day to make sure no signs of them , So Far Those Shurbs Look Good , plus I kept them water as we are in our 90 everyday

[@christinehaack8123]

Love, love ur down to earth gardening/landscaping!!! This is one of my favorites yet!!! Thank u!!!❤️🌸

[@user-qy1fu5qg2p]

Well, good morning to you. What a glorious day, here also in Oklahoma. You are fantastic, love your program. You are so much fun to watch. I have learned so much from you. Continue to make your videos have a great day the oklahoma gardener😊

[@gardeningTLC]

Thank you! You too!

[@user-wr7yl7xp8d]

Just started watching and had to rewind to check what you said. “Pop a squat”, which I haven’t heard in decades, meant peeing in the woods when I was a kid. Had to look up “cop a squat”. But either way, I got a big laugh to start my day!

[@janetta5827]

That's what it meant when I was a kid too. I giggled when Michelle said it. I knew of course, she just meant take a seat and join her. 😂😂

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

I absolutely love all your sweet energy and love all your video's, great video.❤

[@gardeningTLC]

Thank you so much!!

[@doreen9838]

Thank you for mentioning me I was asking about the planter heads I found three in Amish country store all at a good price. I planted fake sedums since they have no drainage holes. I absolutely love them. One in my foyer one in my bedroom and one in my gazebo!!!!!!

[@gardeningTLC]

Yeah!

[@doreen9838]

I’m Ohio Amish county

[@terrypauloregon]

Bag catchers are the best. I want that in my back yard.

[@hollyleach2056]

I have serious zone envy in the summer. I'm in Texas Zone 8. The heat makes everything in the summertime suffer almost to the point of my return. The spring everything looks great, the summer everything looks like it's dying! Thank you for sharing❤

[@PeggyMills]

I LOVE Garden Gab! Awesome photos! Michelle, you seem like one of my girlfriends, and I think many of us feel that way. I did get the “iron bowl on a stump” pic sent to you. I’m so glad you like it. I sure hope you can find a bowl. I love mine.

[@gardeningTLC]

I got it and oh I love it

[@peggyriordan9857]

It was a fun time listening to all of the questions and seeing all of the photos!! I was happy that you took the time to go through all of the questions and photos. Usually, the Q&A videos of others are short and many questions go unanswered. Long form videos are fine for this type of content. I don't mind at all. I get ideas and learn new things from all of them! Thanks so much...really appreciate all of your content.

[@gardeningTLC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sherz3725]

I had a heard of voles about 4 years ago. Tore up the lawn, bulbs, and astilbes. I now have astilbes growing everywhere and I didn’t plant them!

[@rosemarythyme6351]

Thoroughly enjoyed this Garden Gab video! I was surprised to find two of my questions chosen. How fun! Loved seeing subscribers Garden pics. I will send a pic for August. My garden is getting a makeover so not as lush as past years, but that is part of the gardening experience, which I love!

[@gardeningTLC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kimedge7493]

Yes, that was who Scheherazade was! That lady who likes the vase shaped hostas could also try 'Sagae', 'Praying Hands', 'Regal Splendor', 'Tenryu', 'Liberty'...basically if she Googles 'vase shaped hostas" she will find a lot of suggestions.

[@lindahall1971]

❤I'm in Michigan zone 6A, ty for reading my question, I'm a new gardener and you inspire me so much!! ❤❤I'll send in my progress pics! Ty!!

[@gardeningTLC]

Wonderful! I look forward to seeing them.

[@Hydrangia6856]

You definitely have awesome videos. Keep them coming

[@gardeningTLC]

Thank you

[@user-bg4vd7lj2f]

Thanks for posting my picture. I made my entire family come see that I made KZbin! My kids thought it was funny it had my husband's name on it since he does none of the gardening (I guess his name shows on the email.). I sent you an updated pic with the new pedestal. Congrats with the 25,000 subscribers. Love watching your videos! Michelle

[@gardeningTLC]

That is awesome!

[@gardeningTLC]

So what is your name...since it is not john..lol

Thank you, Michelle!

[@barbb.9489]

Michelle, the energy and movie content is always awesome. You’re a patient teacher! 😂 As I watch your movies, I continue to focus on your red Midwest Barn. I know you love 💕 that color, but it takes away from your lovely gardens. I’ve been studying your house bricks and wonder what you think about painting a medium brown with an orange undertone and then a beige/ tan door / shutters? ❤😂❤ I just feel that the cool barn would look great, while shining the light over your gardens! 😅

[@gardeningTLC]

Hmm...I will consider it...I like it....but I just painted it....so I probably will not change it anytime soon...

[@andreaa3385]

Beautiful pictures!

[@sherz3725]

Goats beard are very invasive here. I am constantly pulling them in my yard, they are wild flowers here in southeast Alaska and they are everywhere! I prefer astilbes, they are prettier, not invasive and you can’t kill them here. They love the rain we have, in zone 3.

[@terrypauloregon]

I’m learning about this. I didn’t get up early.

[@mercury_rising]

Thanks for answering my question 🙋🏻‍♀️ !

[@gardeningTLC]

No problem 😊

[@valcole09]

Great video Michelle thank you very much. Congratulations on 25K....OPPS I mean 26.1K subs!! Isn't that just wonderful? Well you are amazing and your information is priceless to us garden people. Lol So no wonder you are growing so fast. I almost hate to ask because you are doing so much but how are the veggies all doing? I'm sure you are over whelmed by now with yummy produce eh? Lets us know when you have a moment to breathe, and if I missed a video about them I'm sorry I'll find it. Lol Enjoy your day. Much love.

[@gardeningTLC]

Im so sorry. I dropped that series...i just could not keep up.....I know why people who do 5 and 6 videos a week have that as their full time job....plus I do all the editing....and the garden center..and some landacaping......

[@tanis1111]

@@gardeningTLC Oh my goodness that is so understandable. No problem. Lol thank you for telling me. You are superwoman in my book. Bless you and ALL you do for us. Now go sit down lol ♥

Great garden gab! I have budworms and they are destroying my petunias. Using Sevin on the . Will they flower again??

[@gardeningTLC]

They should. I use BT it is organic and only targets catipillars.

[@hannahbeertz1231]

These videos are very informative, thank you. I recently had a striped gopher move in. I think it made the mischievous chipmunks scarcer, but I am scared it will cut down my flowers and garden. Have you tried anything successful to get rid of the ones you mentioned that come into your yard?

[@gardeningTLC]

Keeping debris piles cleared, trapping. And repellants are the only things I have tried

[@carolarmstrong8416]

Where can I purchase an Eloise planter like yours

[@gardeningTLC]

I do not know. I tried to reorder from my wholesale company and they were sold out

[@janettefisher256]

What do you know and think of creeping thyme ?

[@gardeningTLC]

I love it

[@peachesandsugar1]

How do you keep the Blue Fescue clumps blue, mine are only blue on the outside, the inside is brown.

[@gardeningTLC]

I believe I have answered this question. You have to cut them back in the spring.

[@peachesandsugar1]

@@gardeningTLC I tried cutting them back now and already they are looking better, Thanks.
