[@tonyduffy851]

Greetings from Ireland!! I just came across your videos and they are very informative. I'm getting ready to plant wall and hanging baskets for summer so the pinching back sounds fantastic, so thanks for those tips because I usually just dead head them.Lovely family including uncle Tony....he certainly knows how to grow super tomato plants. Keep those videos coming.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Hi there! Thanks for joining! I’m glad you like the videos! Ya uncle T is the tomato master! We will keep the videos coming!

[@kellyclay2233]

Thank you so much! I have hanging baskets that aren't thriving. I am excited to see the plants after I start pruning them.

[@sarahhopkins9412]

Hi Casey and Jason! Great video, I have learned a lot from you and greatly appreciate all you keep teaching us! Casey, you should keep butterfly stitch band aids in your first aid kit, they will close up cuts really good and stay on for days till the healing starts. Saves a trip to the ER for stitches.lol. I love watching you both so keep up the great work and great gardening! And hello from Maine!

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Hi There! thank you for your advise! We will have these on hand now. Hope you have been enjoying our videos!!

[@monicabryk727]

How do you keep your gravel areas so clean and without weeds? Your gardens are beautiful!🌿

[@barbarasanroman9484]

[@jodis6234]

Thanks for all the tips! The Night Sky petunias are one of my favorites! I hope next year you guys have the burgundy ones!

Your flowers in vegetable beds look awesome! Or is it vegetables planted among flowers : )

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Its actually about half and half, maybe a little more veggies! Stay tuned we will be planting peas soon in one of them!

[@gracecakes8241]

We use superglue instead of stitches for these smaller type gashes, a tip I got from a nurse. No doctor minimal scarring. Works like a charm.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Grace Cakes thank you!! Will definitely try that next time, I know there will be a next time 😂

[@julieankhan.2801]

Use nail glue not superglue. The ingredients in nail glue is less harmful to skin. Superglue wasnt made for humans. Nail glue is.

[@jillspady6450]

Ok, after seeing your gorgeous coleus i broke down and bought chocolate and lime green Coleus, and bronze leafed white begonias. The coleus are a bit tall, but im ready to pinch! They're about 8 to 10" tall and leggy. Can i cut them down a few sets of leaves so they fill in? What do you suggest?

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Jill Spady excellent! Yes you can cut them down, Just like how I showed in the video except you can go down a few more leaves if you would like

[@rachelmckee8980]

Pinch when you plant it or pinch once it’s the size you want? 🤯 (The coleus)

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Rachel McKee both, when you plant it and it small pinching helps to make it bushy, once it’s the size you want you can cut it(trim like a hair cut)

[@rachelmckee8980]

The Lawrence Network thank you! Love your videos!

[@jillspady6450]

How much sun do your coleus get? We are zone 9. Hot So CA. Days daily 102°. I have a spot with morning sun/ afternoon shade. I'm thinking that's about all they can take?

[@CottageGardensonForest]

Thanks so much for sharing all your great growing practices. You’re an awesome plants woman and I one day hope to have beautiful window boxes and planters that are as successful as your own. What resources do you use for your unique raised bed garden inspirations? Thanks

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Tawana Jeffries Thank you so much for such a time come at! I’m sure you will have beautiful windowboxes and planters! To be honest I don’t use any resources when planting up my raised beds, I just plan makes me happy! I grew up in the agriculture /horticulture Industry, so that has given me knowledge and practice on how things perform which goes into how I plant everything up.

[@karenakers8508]

Hope your finger is ok.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Thanks Karen, its definitely good now!

Love your site...I’ve learned sooo much...have started gardening again at 80...

[@jillspady6450]

I have some decorative kale that has lasted thru our heat, probably bc i sheltered it on the porch from hot afternoon sun. Can i cut them down and use them again as it cools down? Or are they spent?

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Jill Spady if you cut it then it will be done, but just leave it going and it will continue to last

[@annetteweber1684]

I always learn so much from your videos. My petunias have never looked better because I learned how to pinch them and keep the bushy look! You are so positive and your passion for gardening is contagious. Thanks so very much!

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Annette Weber thank you so much Annette, I really appreciate that! I’m so happy to hear that your petunias are looking great! Thank you again for your wonderful comment!

[@loloholmes2793]

If you cut your petunias back about now, it'll fill out again & not be so leggy and last longer

[@loloholmes2793]

I took Coleus cuttings, stuck them in a house plant to see if they'd survive over winter & they did!! I didn't have to buy any Coleus this Spring

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Lolo Holmes I know that’s the great thing about them!!

[@loloholmes2793]

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

Here's what I originally meant to say when I got sidetracked with telling you about vitamin E and it's healing properties. Great video a lot of people don't know to pinch back there petunias or their coleus. I had a windstorm come through and knock a few plants over onto my coleus plants so I have a lot of cuttings again. If you'd like to see the coleus plants that I got for free from 4-5 mother plants I saved over the winter please come to my new KZbin channel. If you put my name Kathleen Murphy and the word coleus you'll see my coleus video. I filled up a bookcase and then more and the bookcase is as tall as me so it's like over 5 feet. My new tube channel is new maybe a month old I started it at the suggestion of another KZbin Orchid friend. Her name is Carolyn but her KZbin channel is named after her and her husband's name Jack so it's Jacolyn's orchids... she lives in Canada and is delightful on how she displays her plants with vintage items and she has a green house and a big Garden. The other person that help me with my orchids was Rick of Rick's orchids he lives in Alabama has a background in Hydroponics. So between those two Carolyn got me hooked on Orchids and Rick got me to understand how to take care of them and how nutrients work in them and and other plants. He talked about mobile and immobile nutrients and really makes the nitty-gritty understandable. Please come to my KZbin channel and besides putting coleus in the search engine along with my name you can put the word house plants or philodendron or orchids. I'm 70 years old this is all new to me I've Loved plants ever since I was a kid working in my dad's vegetable garden the took up half an acre ground. I have a lot to share but I still have a lot to learn so if you come to my KZbin channel of course click like And subscribe but the thing I'm most important and makes me the happiest is to see comments I want to have friends in the Plant World on KZbin not just subscribers. I have a lot of meat friends now since I started my KZbin channel come join us and have some fun! Thank you for your KZbin channel I've been a subscriber for a while. Someday maybe I'll have a hundred subscribers but you have like almost 10,000 wow wow wow

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

Kathleen Murphy that’s Great!! We will Definately be subscribing😃😃😃👍

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

By the way your coleus are very pretty and you should see all the coleus I have from a couple of mother plants I was able to save over the winter you might be able to do the same thing when you get your Greenhouse up and running take care of my new friend

I’m new to gardening and you’ve taught me so much! I’ve binge watched your videos since I found your channel several months ago! You have a beautiful family and beautiful garden.

[@TheLawrenceGardenFarm]

I pinch snaps right before I plant-when they are about 6”tall , but it will take longer to blossom. I wouldn’t pinch pansys

Thank you too! I wish you had hydrangeas to show me how and where or if not to cut. I'm new at it this year and worry about them. The Nursery tells me they'll be fine after they establish (🤷‍♀️ ) .Your window boxes are massive! The garden planters sure are beautiful! Enjoy your evening!! 💐

[@islandgirl_mar3126]

I don't believe they do but you can watch Tinthia Clemant's channel. She's an expert on hydrangeas.

Gina Friend hydrangeas only blossom once per season so you don’t want to cut them, at least not the flowers
