Houseplant & Garden Supply Purge! These Have Got to Go

[@ChicagoGardener]

I already pulled the burlap out of the donation pile to use for my holly trees I planted a few months ago as the temperature drops. Of course I'd find a use for them after 4 years right as I'm about to get rid of them 😆

[@grisespino5342]

Good thing you still had them!

[@suekrebs3497]

Thanks for the inspiration! I'm glad that you are going to use the burlap. In southern Wisconsin, we received 5.5 inches of snow on Tuesday, 2 inches on Thursday, 6 inches so far today with more expected. I didn't want all this snow but am thankful with all the extreme cold temperatures expected. I hope that your plants survive our cold.

[@ChicagoGardener]

Oh my gosh, so much snow! We only ended up with a couple inches but the wind was bad. I’m planning to go out tomorrow and use the snow as insulation for my pots.

Thanks for this video! You gave me motivation to go through my indoor plant collection and let go of some plants that no longer bring me joy

[@ChicagoGardener]

It’s hard to do but I feel so much relief after!

[@KimatRevAcres]

Thanks for the video. Beside encouraging me to go through my gardening stuff I found new ideas for organizing my garden closet.

[@ChicagoGardener]

I feel such a relief after going through everything!

[@doowopshopgal]

Great job with cleaning out, no second thoughts. Out with the old and don’t need anything new.!!

[@ChicagoGardener]

Exactly!! I actually went to a plant shop a few days ago and didn’t get anything 😂

Perfect video for this snowy day is Wisconsin. Blizzard tomorrow. Heard you're getting the same in Chicago. Yes, I would love to see you do a cleanup video. Thanks!

[@ChicagoGardener]

Our snow started this morning! Then we’re dropping into the negative temps on Sunday 😩

I definitely stopped trying to successfully grow a lemon tree inside half the year. Like you said it’s not worth the struggle and there’s lots of other things that I can be doing with my time and space then using it for that plant. I am in zone 8B Northern California . I’ve recently found you here on KZbin and I really enjoy all of your videos. You are very inspiring!

[@ChicagoGardener]

Thank you so much! This makes me happy to hear you feel the same way bc I was feeling a little guilty but I know it’s getting better care now.

[@GardenDoodles]

We need to go through our inventory also and do the same. We’ve been good about not acquiring anymore stuff at least.

[@ChicagoGardener]

I’ve been better about that too lately. The first year I started getting into houseplants I got so many 🤣

[@MarianneHuff-b7n]

Hello, I watched your purge video today. I love to see what you are doing. I am in south Florida. It is sunny today. What size pot do you use for your procut sunflowers?

[@ChicagoGardener]

I’m jealous, it’s been awhile since we’ve seen the sun here! I grow my sunflowers in my raised beds and also pots at least 8” in diameter.

[@esterrivera2281]

We all need to give or donate unused items. Haven’t figured out why some people hold on to their unused stuff.

[@sarah9314]

Hobbies of Gardening and houseplants totally accumulates a lot of extra stuff. I need go thru my pots and make repotting plan for the spring and decide from there what can go. I’m really focusing on loving the staging and pottery and vessels and trying not to buy too many more plants. 🪴 🎉

[@ChicagoGardener]

I need to go through all the houseplants I kept and repot some of them too. It’s been too long and I’m sure some of them need a little more space!

[@zarkatalksbangla]

very nice

[@anthonydobija3669]

Should probally throw some cereal or birdseed out for the birds.extremely cold out feel bad for animals stuck out there.

[@ChicagoGardener]

That’s smart! I think we have some bird seed downstairs but if not I’m ordering some!
