👋 Heather 😊 If I have to come back in this world again, I'm coming back as You! Thanks for info. That dog always has a lot to bark about ☺️ Its thick in humidity again this morning. Hard for my breathing! Enjoy your day! ❤

@@ginafriend1690 Gina, you are the kindest and you’ve been with me here on this channel since the early days. You have no idea what your comments and encouragement have meant. Thank you so much!!!

[@ginafriend1690]

​@@heatherhereshegrows your welcome, Heather. You also bring happiness to my days 🤗

Very timely. My petunias lost all their flowers overnight. The sprayer look handy. I find it difficult to hand spray more than one plant. Your garden is so lovely.

[@angelaengler2387]

Mine too! So sad😞

[@heatherhereshegrows]

@@kturula7017 Thank you! I have arthritis in my hands and this sprayer makes life easier. No constant squeezing.

[@heatherhereshegrows]

@@angelaengler2387Aw, that’s so frustrating.

Thank you!

@@heatherhereshegrows also if your interested in possibly doing a video together about Milkweed and Monarch Butterfly’s I’d love to! I’ve been raising them for the last few years and it’s wild and how their numbers continue to decline rapidly- just recently I’ve had a could die which doesn’t really ever happen- I am not a scientist but even I know that there’s something that’s killing them and the Milkweed that they use to lay their eggs. I live in Lockport. 😁😁

Yeah i found some and yeeted them over the balcany. Leaf and all because those little buggers like to fight and scare me. Lol😂

[@prepperchickie]

May I ask how you get to trial plants from companies like Proven Winners?

[@heatherhereshegrows]

Hello! I am a garden writer and receive plants from many different companies for trialing in my home garden.

Please never apologise when having to deal with pests 😃 a gardeners got to do what a gardeners got to do 👍

[@heatherhereshegrows]

😂😂Glad you understand!

[@jaybay9944]

​@heatherhereshegrows I think you broke the record in having a budworm in your hand 😅 bet you must get used to them by now 😏 plus I think it's more gross using fingers 🤢 so good job 👏👏👏

[@heatherhereshegrows]

@@jaybay9944they are gross but I’m used to them after all these years! 😊

[@angelaengler2387]

I have a terrible infestation of ugly caterpillars! I have never had them as bad as this year! My beautiful petunias and calibrachoa’s look awful now😣and my bottle of bt was nearly empty when I tried to spray😖

[@heatherhereshegrows]

That’s so frustrating! Some years are worse than others for sure.
