[@lizswinney2637]

Hope your ok since the fire, I heard is possibly getting close to Los Molines. If the embers start to go your way put a sprinkler on your roof!

[@nitahiltner3348]

I was worried about that.

[@darlenencambria]

You can cut your butterfly bush back to the ground and it will come back stronger than before. Stay safe.🫶🌻

[@marygueldenzoph7317]

Also worried about the fires around Chico getting close to Robbie. 🙏🏻😬🙏🏻

[@ruralangwin]

I think Los Molinos is good but surely smoky and scary.

[@peggy-ann1961]

There was a devastating fire that went through Jasper National park in Alberta Canada. Footage showed the difference between properties where the owners were able to keep sprinklers going and those across the street with no sprinklers. There was still damage but not nearly as bad as those without. Stay safe Robbie and Brent! 🇨🇦

[@KarenSeckerson]

Got my Not my rooster cap today, Saturday. Love it. I love your channel so much. I’m 70 years old and still learning from others. Have a great day..❤❤

[@valautolady358]

The garden is beautiful. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us.

[@cyndireed2505]

Robbie, I suggest that you cut that dying lavender back an inch or two above the ground. It could flush back if roots have life in them. Laura cuts hers back every year so it avoids or reduces the woody stems that usually develop on lavender, which won’t put out new foliage. Since it’s a new plant you shouldn’t have to worry but be sure you don’t cut back to wood. You can throw it into a pot if you find a replacement while you’re waiting to see how it does. The butterfly bush can be solved the same way. Cut it back to the ground in the spring. No need to worry about cutting it too far. It will keep it size checked. You can do that every year or every other year depending on sizing. Just remember that they are slow to start in the spring so don’t panic ! 🙃 Hope this helps! You probably know most/all of this but I thought it might help others.

[@stefmcclure9386]

Everything looks so beautiful despite your spider mite issue. So excited to see what you and Brent will,do next!

[@carlarivas1238]

Like you Robbie, I too miss the cut flower garden. I think my favorite part about it was you taking the flowers to the retirement home, so that’s when I got my first glimpse of your generous heart. Now we get to see that with your grandma. Is the Park fire disturbing your air? We have one that’s fairly close to Bakersfield in the Kern Canyon. No containment yet.

[@thefumblingcuisiniere]

Robbie, we feel you with the pup spot. We had to say goodbye to both of our remaining doggos this June and July. 😥 We will be planting our boys with our Colorado Spruce trees, but I need placards or pavers or something and I too am just not mentally there yet. We're ready when we're ready and not a moment sooner. 😉🐾❤️

[@CottageGardensonForest]

I know that as Snow in Summer. Lovely garden especially considering the heat which in my experience challenges the plants and then the bugs move in. You can rejuvenate your butterfly bush with a hard cut back in the fall. Love the apple espaliers. I really want an aviary in the future. Yours is fabulous.

[@bethreisman8869]

Robbie, your garden is so beautiful. I love that you try so many varieties of plants and they preform so well for you! The jasmine espalier, the wonderful apple espalier, pots, fountain, window box, fench house…such a passion for all things garden plants. Well done! You are a star 🌟

[@suebohn5573]

You always talk about how much you love meandering pathways into garden rooms. Are you going to create hidden rooms? Also what's your plan of attack on the spider mites? Are they hard to get rid of? Everything is looking just gorgeous!

[@cyndireed2505]

[@Cynthia-zz1vi]

Oh can’t wait to see the new projects I guess you can’t wait till fall 😂 I understand that, hope you also get to finish your fence too, great video you have a lot of color and great structures

[@charlesoberdorf8478]

Donna here, I watch Jim Putnam on Horttube and I just watched a couple of his videos on butterfly bushes (because I just got some myself, never had them before). He says they need to be cut back every season or they get too woody and tend to break off. He has several videos on them. I came over from Janey's channel, your garden looks so pretty!

[@ThePawsomeRescues]

Woohoo! We LOVE your garden tours! 🥰

[@jillrandolph3707]

I love watching your videos and I can’t wait to see all the new changes

[@roomwithaview76]

Boy the garden looks beautiful! Try using the beneficial insects for the spider mites. Laura from Garden Answer did an episode on the beneficials for spider mites. Excited to see what you have planned. ❤

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Gosh Robbie! Your gardens look amazing in spite of your insect issues and high heat.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

It was so much fun hanging out with you Robbie. Your garden has so much character, charm and beauty.😎

[@donnasantamaria8317]

Robbie! What a complete tease! Watched to the very end, excitedly, to hear what was coming and then you didn't even give us a hint!!! I hate "to be continued"!!! The Gardens look beautiful! Especially your hydrangeas! Instead of pulling out the one butterfly bush, maybe give it a rejuvenation prune?? I planted a "dwarf " Buzz butterfly bush which grew so tall that I trimmed it into a multi trunk standard. It now looks beautiful and I was able to underplant with some white Shasta daisies.

[@BCBRENDA]

Garden is looking nice! I love your haircut.

[@terrycourtney8011]

Hi Robbie - your garden is looking so nice, I especially love the espaliars. It really shows all the love and attention you give. Regarding your hydrangeas, I have both kinds...I don't know their names but the one with the cone-shaped flowers is thriving in all-day full sun and I prune the bajeebers out of it. The other one I have is the Anniball-type hydrangea...it lives on the north-side of the building in mostly shade and I don't prune it all all, it too is thriving and has salad-plate size white flowers on it, it's just gorgeous. So, I think you have the cone-shaped hydrangea in the correct spot, it loves sun. But, the other one you showed with the round flowers that got burned, needs to go to a shadier spot. My daughter lives in Sacramento and she planted a ball-type hydrangea into a 1/2 wine barrel with wheels on it and it too is thriving on the north side with allot of shade. So, I guess the moral of the story is...sun for those that thrive in it, and shade for those that don't! 😊 I can't wait to see what's next for your garden, don't work too hard and thanks for sharing Robbie! BTW. I now live in Boise, ID, I'm native Californian from SF and Sacramento. Gardening in ID is a whole 'nother ball game!😅

[@sandygroves5297]

Everything is looking good. Looking forward to new projects

[@gelinda2718]

BEAUTIFUL!!!BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@sallyjackson4480]

Your yard is beautiful, so enjoyed your video thank you

[@rhondafisher72]

With the heat you've been having your garden is holding up beautifully. Can't wait to see what your final plans are for the changes you want to make.

[@shadedfromreality]

I love the variety of blooms, textures, and colors, especially that mahogany hibiscus! I was just gifted an arabian jasmine and never thought about trellising it...great ideas! Looks gorgeous Robbie:)

[@paulapeeler3157]

Robbie enjoyed the tour... looking forward to seeing the new changes😊

[@rootelation486]

Pentas love humidity. Yours are doing very well in your dry heat.....they are relatively long lived perennials for us in South florida. Usually after about 5 or 6 years I take mine out and plant new ones

[@debbiemiron]

Your gate in back yard would look awesome in a cottage green 😊 I'm just seeing a punch of color

[@peggy-ann1961]

Wow, changes…how exciting! 🇨🇦👏🌸

[@patl.4170]

Just watched the news about the fires that are close to Chico. Prayers to all affected and please be safe.

[@AlBGood]

Everything is doing so well in your garden. Im envious. But in a good way. So happy you share your garden with us.🌷

[@kathiesagert4299]

Love your garden!!! Totally get not being ready to pick the right pet marker for Wesley. He's so handsome!! 🐾💓🐾

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

Robbie, remember to trim the dicondra so it doesn’t harm the lavender….the diamond espalier 🤩wow. I am so excited to see the changes to come. We should call your garden the transformer. 👩🏼‍🌾😜

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Hi Robbie thank you for July Garden tour, The garden looks amazing!

[@jillianleblanc9370]

Thank you for Sharing your beautiful garden lovely plants 🌹😎🌹

[@supermoniQ]

Robbie! Your garden is magical! Love all the combination and textures. I can’t wait to see the new garden. Love your espaliers! 🎉

[@pomme800]

Why not plant a climbing rose on the right side of the fountain… would be pretty and seems to have enough sun :))) thanks for the tour Robbie… everything looks fabulous …can’t wait to see your new projects … exciting ! 🎉🎉❤❤

[@stephaniefuller]

I see the front with some sort of topiaries as you walk in your front entry. Like Janey has going into her office

[@jessiekidwell670]

I LOVE the yellow blooms on the dusty miller you get there. Indianapolis and I have never seen it here. Omg the artichoke blooms!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m growing next year. So neat! I’d never move after all this work!

[@jennsmith4832]

Robbie, your window boxes are amazing.

[@annoakley21]

great message x best place is in the garden. My carrots are taking forever this year but might try popping them in the lean to greenhouse once the tomatoes are done.

[@annwoleben5439]

You are keeping us in suspense; whatever you have planned will be fun to see!

[@AngieSalinas-dy6bj]

I had to add 4 umbrellas to my small property, it's too hot in SA Texas. Continued prayers on the fires spare your area.

[@meluvsquki]

Youre one of my favorite garden youtubers!! Thank you for showing your space the way it is. It's beautiful❤️

[@marisaguzman9177]

Robbie ur garden is so beautiful great job 👏 🌻🌷

[@larafernz6790]

Always love your videos especially the tours❤, have you considered planting those tall pencil pines in between the espallier apples, it would give a lovely formalilty to the space, Laura

[@terriromero-dewald6652]

I have been hoping that you and your husband are safe during the fires in Butte County. I’m not sure where you are in relation to the fire but stay safe. Love and light 💜

[@darlenencambria]

Hope you take us along in the changes in your garden

[@joanna4365]

Good morning ☀️ as always beautiful garden 😎

[@bonnielamb2170]

We cut our butterfly bushes back in the spring down to the new growth. I am in zone 6

[@stephaniefuller]

My slit second morning glories got spider mites too and I live in Florida.

[@r.trinkl4130]

Hello Robbie, at 19:46 the butterfly bush - try to cut it back in late winter at the height of your knees. It needs to fully regrow every year to be full and beautiful. And it needs a lot of water. Your garden is wonderful.

[@jaisarowe5285]

Hey Robbie! 👋🏼 You’ve done a beautiful job with your gardens!! Regarding the petunias in your front window box as well as the one in the corner by your driveway, give them a haircut ✂️ and in about 2 weeks they’ll start pushing out more blooms and will look fuller for you. Always works when they start getting leggy. 👍🏼

[@heidijones1516]

Hi Robbie, your garden beds in the back yard look beautiful and have become so lush. Im in the same hot zone as you in Sonoma Co. I used to get spider mites and aphids in the past but since I started lightly spraying my plants in the AM, not so much. (BTW shower setting on water wand not mist) There are people who say keep the water off the foliage but in our dry climate its a different story. Your echinacea looks so vibrant and pretty, they definitely come across deep orange on KZbin. One of my favorite flowers that I didnt even know about until 3 yrs go!

[@sandykoenig1666]

Robbie, your driveway area is so beautiful, peaceful and inviting to your backyard. I would like to plant some roses, we have one, is there anything I can use to keep from aphids attacking the bushes? Do the Wasbi coleus die back in winter?

[@gratefulone6183]

You guys stay safe!❤

[@sag6310]

I remember that Arabian jasmine, my dad gave me a small plant when I lived in California and I loved that plant so much. He has passed now and I no longer live in California but the memories of the smell and that beautiful plant are still in my heart.

[@sherylchapman4168]

I hope you are doing fine. I am concerned about the horrible fires up your way. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated. It helps with the low humidity. The air quality must be really bad. I am praying for you and Brent.

[@sandistolle4874]

The pink flowers at 30:15 may be Pentas rather than Penstemon. They grow really well on our zone 9/10. Looking forward to seeing the new garden plans.

[@rootelation486]

They are indeed❤, he just misspoke. They make the plant names so similar it's a wonder any of us can get the right name out😂....I find it craziest when I know the name and absolutely nothing comes to mind😂 artemesia is the number one in my garden that I can never think of when I'm trying to call i🤦🏾‍♀️🤣😊

[@sewfarm7266]

Enjoyed the garden tour and can’t wait to see your projects! I’m growing the Floret Zinnas ( Victorian wedding) this year and they are so pretty! I am becoming more obsessed with growing more flowers for cutting. But I also had a rose obsession come out of nowhere about a year ago and have been planting roses like a mad woman. Then there’s all the other fun plants and yard design that I love….. ah! It’s so much fun and I enjoy watching what you are doing! I’m right in between you and Janey so everything is very relevant for me!

[@CasaCreations]

Extremely excited for you and Brent! Already a stunner:

[@virginiaramirez4214]

Love your zenas, beautiful color.

[@cheevue668]

Are you fertilizing the window box with creeping Jenny? Mine is stagnant… yours is gorgeous!

[@debbiemiron]

Your garden is wonderful your sunbelievables fab

[@Kathyc87]

Robbie, I hope you guys are safe from the fire. I’m not sure but I think its coming your way.

[@lauriep5055]

Read where the wildfire is near Chico. How are you guys doing and how is the town defending itself against the wildfire? Pray for rain!

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Robbie! Your gardens are looking beautiful, as always! What is the plant you have growing on your front porch? I don't remember if you mentioned it before. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@KLady315]

Hi Robbie, questions about the mahogany hibiscus: It doesn't flower right? Is it deciduous or does it keep its foliage in the fall/winter? Does the foliage change colors for fall interest? Thanks for turning me onto this plant. I'm having a heck of a time finding it in my area though 😔. I'm in LA zone 10a. Do you think it will withstand full sun here?

[@Eric.Mercado]

Hi there. 👋 Mahogany splendor hibiscus is a gorgeous specimen! It's a perfect alternative for those of us who are unable to grow Japanese maples due to our heat. I'm in Phoenix, 9b, and it's an evergreen for me. It does flower as well. The flowers start to bloom from mid to late summer until frost. They are about 2-4" in size and have a deep burgundy/maroon-ish color. Like all hibiscus, they only last for one day, opening in the morning and falling off by evening. They are stunning in my opinion. There is no fall color, but it does hold its beautiful mahogany color consistently, whereas most other colored foliage options on the market tend to lose their color once the heat kicks in. Speaking of the market, I haven't seen this beauty available in my area either. Which is a bummer, so if you ever do see it, you better not hesitate or it'll be gone before you know it. 😂 The good news is that Mahogany splendor is very easy to grow from seed, so you might want to take that option rather than waiting for availability in the nurseries. I hope you don't mind me chiming in for Robbie. I figured he'd be a little busy. 😂 I hope this information is helpful. Good luck and happy gardening! 😉

[@KLady315]

@@Eric.Mercado thanks so much for the info, Eric. Do you have yours planted in full sun in your 9b zone? btw - i snatched the last one up at my local garden center!!! I have it in a pot right now but my plan is to transfer it to the front of my house once it's larger. It is a full afternoon sun spot/morning shade so a little nervous 😬; but that won't be for another season or two. Happy gardening 😀

[@SaltyGal4life]

I’m so excited for your new project!! So much fun!!

[@sherrymclaggan9097]

It’s my first year growing zinnias. I appreciate all the tips 😊 thanks

[@medinasod2013]

Robbie, your garden is beautiful. I can't wait till you start working on the back. I hope you didn't make rooms and paths. That's going to be so exciting if you do. Thank you for the tour of your beautiful garden,,,,🌱🌾

[@nitahiltner3348]

I can't wait to see what you do!!!! Everything is gorgeous. Maybe you could enlarge your pond area with another small pond?

[@LynnSargent-xx5ei]

Thanks for the tour, so excited about the changes in store! Can’t wait to see what you have in mind. My question is about the Rose of Sharon, pretty sure I have the perfect spot for one in my Texas 9B garden, do they die back to the ground every winter like other hibiscus? And if so, are they as slow to return in the spring? I love watching your videos, I like that you tell us what you pay for things and you don’t try to cover up any problems. And I love Freya!

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

Can’t wait to see your changes!

[@michaelk3797]

Love the garden tours! I forget, where did you get the black planter in your driveway with the Carl Forester grasses?

[@jennifergreene8891]

Good morning Robbie and Brent! Everything looks beautiful 😍 I have a Q? Why are my original Dusty Millers not blooming? Zone 9b Texas Gulf Coast. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us!

[@debbiemiron]

What's the name of the zinnias 😮

[@sydneykasmar]

I'm fascinated by the zinnias you spoke about in the front that change form as they mature. I would love to know the name of this plant. Thanks!

Can you tell me the color of the green paint on the boxes and building back in the vegetable garden?

Hi Robbie! First it was great to meet you in Gridley and i love your channel❤ question on Japanese anemone please-I’ve never seen them in garden centers? Did you grow those from seed? Stay safe!
