Great video! Love the recipe! Will definitely try it. Tip for your tulips. I live by Brent and Beckys Garden center. They are well known for their bulbs and have a catalog/website. Every Spring they have an amazing display of tulips. I asked Brent a couple of years ago how on earth do you keep the deer from eating your tulips. He said Plant Skyd. It is a deer spray. You mix it yourself from a powder. Brent and Beckys spray the actual bulb and allow it to dry on the bulb prior to planting every Fall. They spray the holes and the ground. Then regularly as a perimeter once the tulips bloom. I tried it last year and it actally worked and we have TONS of deer pressure. Happy Gardening! 🌷💕⚘️

[@HookedandRooted]

This is wonderful advice, so helpful!! I'm going to order some Plant Skyd, and give this method a try. I appreciate it!! Thank you!!

Made a special trip to my Home Depot for some bulbs after watching your video earlier this week. Unfortunately they were already pretty picked over. But they actually had lots of Proven Winner supertunias. Thought that was rather strange as I just pulled out all of my annuals. I’m in barely a zone 7.

I ran there the other day, just for birdseed.. and left with 6 bags of tulips and a sack of daffodils (I already had my spring bulbs.. didnt need more 😊) Im in southern maine; the squirrels and deer get mine too 🙄 Im not a huge fan of daffodils but they should naturalize here, so Im going to focus on adding those.. deer leave them alone.

[@msmaddox2918]

The cheesecake cookie bars look so yummy, Steph! I might have to make some for the office! Thanks for the recipe! I tried overwintering mandevilla 2 years ago and you are right that it took them awhile to wake up and bloom. I hope your overwintering method works! It sounds like it will! 🤞🤞

Thank you Mari! lol, no my husband just wanted to give him a name that sounded Italian since he's an Italian Greyhound. Our last IG pup was called Vince 💚 That is so interesting about the citrus!!

I usually treat my mandivillas as annuals because if I successfully overwintered them they didn't bloom until very late. Last year, I tried again. Cut it back, put in my sunroom and fertilized. Much better result so am trying the same method this year.

[@SumaiyaS]

Another wonderful videos with all the information needed. Quick question, How to save the bulbs from pests like Squirrels and others form eating them?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! I have to spray the tulips as soon as they break ground or the deer will get them. As for the squirrels, they have dug some tulip bulbs up in the past. I have better luck with tulips in containers and only plant a few in ground due to the critters. However, some have used some chicken wire placed over where they've planted bulbs, and then cover back over with mulch. Then remove it just as they tulips start poking through the soil. The squirrels are most interested in the bulbs from what I understand. Bulbs like alliums, and daffodils most critters stay away from due to their fragrance, and being toxic, so they are easier bulbs to plant.

[@SumaiyaS]

Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I tis very helpful. Thanks for taking time to reply. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@monicamacauley3750]

Hi Steph! Do you sell the hat pattern? Love it. Looks like a half double crochet stitch.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Monica! I don't own the pattern, its one I purchased several years ago. Its a combo of half double and puff stitch.

[@vickiemifflin2854]

I was so happy to see you were going to show how to overwinter my Mandevilla. Mine was so beautiful I just couldn’t let it go. I brought it into our garage and sprayed it to make sure I don’t bring any pest into the house but I haven’t cut it back. I don’t have a basement so it will be full heat inside so do I need to cut it back? I wasn’t sure about giving it Fertilizer so thanks for all the great information.

[@peggy1844]

I overwintered my mandivilla for two winters now and you are right they are slow to rebloom. I just cut them back and set them in my craft room above our garage. It is around 60 deg. and plenty of light. When do you plan to start fertilizing and watering?

[@HookedandRooted]

Good to know Peggy! I plan on starting to water more regularly and fertilizing in March once I see them starting to break dormancy and push out new growth.

[@lisab.6818]

Steph, thanks for the tip about fertilizing the mandevilla during the winter. I cut mine back but I didn't to fertilize 😮. Dessert looks awesome and will be trying. Did you crochet the lovely gray sweater that you had on the next day? Rocco is adorable and I also have a trash digger. We have a sliding panel door 🚪 so he can't help him self. 😂

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Lisa! I'm going to start fertilizing my mandevilla in Spring (In March) once I notice it begins to break dormancy and pushing out new green foliage. Thank you so much!! No I didn't crochet that sweater. I mostly make hats. These pups who get in the trash! They are so naughty, but they're lucky we still love them. Our dog also learned how to open the pantry door, so we had to change the knob 😂

[@lisab.6818]

@@HookedandRooted hey Steph thanks for clarifying about when to fertilize as they're coming out of dormancy and that makes so much. I have three dogs and only one is the trash digger he's blind and deaf so I know his little snout smells everything way more than everybody else's. The price of plant has gone up so much as well as everything else and I'm trying to overwinter as much as I can or try and cuttings and trying to propagate.

[@wendyswearman6561]

Love Rocco! How do you have a sighthound without a fence? Mine would have taken off.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Wendy! That's a great question. He's litterbox trained so he doesn't go out to potty. When we take him outside he's on a leach. We also take him to a fenced in little league ball field to let him run around for excercise.

[@SharkSandwich451]

Hey Steph: when will you start fertilizing the mandevilla- I’ve got one: south facing window ~65 degrees in my foyer since September misting and watering but need to know when to fertilize thanks. BTW: the Japanese maple doesn’t work in my yard...

[@phoenixinflight1608]

That looks so delicious but I'm gluten intolerant 😭

[@dianehoffman3508]

My bush type Mandeville did great at the beginning of the summer. As time went on, it started growing tendrils and stopped blooming. It never bloomed again. How do you keep your blooming all season? I'm going to try to do what you are doing to overwinter them. Hopefully next spring, they will bloom again.

[@HookedandRooted]

I would say to maybe try fertilizing with something to encourage blooms. I have the alaska bloom booster and find it works well for my annuals. amzn.to/3MvlmDC
