burney6211 Thanks! 💚

[@TigiLova]

thank you

[@nancyavery8134]

What a great tip about making sure when you transplant that you bury the lip of the cardboard container to keep it from drying out! I loved it when you went on trips thru antique stores, would love to see some more of those, have you ever found some really good planters in them?

[@michellebilodeau3882]

Tulips are my favorite! Thx for the tips!

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

You are my go-to guy for all things garden, thank you! Just planting asparagus for the first time, hoping to find some tips here on your channel for the initial planting and care.

[@PAllenSmith]

Let them be for the first year. Harvest about every third or fourth one the years following. Thanks for watching!

[@sandyralston5814]

Two of my favs, Jeri and P. Allen!

[@samuraibushido675]

I really love this video it was sooooo enriching; it taught me about keeping my tools, the kinds of asparagus.

[@PatriciaHernandez-eh5mn]

Hola me encanta sus videos

[@lisagilmore4519]

Love the video!

[@joansnow4013]

My hydrangeas have gone completely crazy this spring. I was wondering what to do with them all, and containers it is. Thank you for your suggestion.

[@Martitaroman1]

Awesome tips, thank you.

[@tessmonro7102]

Love watching your videos - thank you so much. BTW I've stored my tools in sand & oil for some time now and it's a great tip. Sadly I can't grow zinnias because my border terrier eats them!

[@debrakirchmeier5139]

Super video! Motivating me to get into the garden 🙂👍🏼🌷

[@brendaestes5391]

Very informative! Thank you!

[@libbylife7161]

Love your videos! You are amazing! God bless you and your plants! :-)

[@mumbai3899]

Hi Allen, I have a large spot of Lime hydrangea. Last year something eaten the flowers. every night they get smaller and smaller no petals then only the scheleton until a dot left on the steam. What can I do to stop this happening this year again. Thank you for your times sharing your knowledge.

[@HillTopRooted]

Hello Mr. Allen. Love your videos! I also love Hydrangeas. I’ve tried and tried to plant a cutting garden of them but it has never worked. I live in Houston, Texas. Question: Can I plant them just in huge pots and will they grow and continue to bloom year after year without having to transplant them into the ground? Look forward to hearing from you and happy gardening!

[@a.c.6361]

I absolutely enjoy your informative and entertaining videos! I enjoy not just your gardening ideas, but also your recipes. Good idea about storing garden tools. Do you have solutions to plants affected by frost?

[@PAllenSmith]

Congratulations! We selected your question for this week’s video, check out the answer here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4unkqyQiMmHoqc 💚

[@loriregina1226]

I like the storing hand tools in the bucket of sand idea. Could I use a different oil like organic oil?

[@PAllenSmith]

Lori Regina linseed oil does well too.

[@loriregina1226]

@@PAllenSmith thank you. Don't you take Sundays off? You know what they say, "All work and no play makes Jack an awful dull boy." Seriously, thanks.

[@PAllenSmith]

Lori Regina 😂

[@gryl7471]

The reason oil is not food grade, because food oils go bad.

[@audreysweeney5338]

Should I mulch every year?

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I would assume all the seeds would be smashed and/or crack with pushing that clay on them?

[@LeathurRokk]

I remember you from PBS.I am glad I found you on KZbin!Question.If someone pours that oil in sand to stick their garden tools in, won't that be contaminated soil that must be burned eventually, so its not put back on the beach or ground, and wouldn;t resiidue on our tools make our vegetables no longer organic? Or can we substitute a food grade oil?But them won't that still be a pollution risk? As we'd have oil soaked sand

[@PAllenSmith]

Lots of food great substitutes. Try linseed oil.

[@carlawolf8260]

I didn't know you can put hydrangeas in pots. Yours were amazing colors just fantastic. I would love to have one in my apartment. Can I do that? They smell so awesome. Love your tips

[@PAllenSmith]

Carla Wolf they probably wouldn’t do so well for an extended time. But if you had a nice balcony, porch or stoop they could live, and you wanted to bring them in from time to time to enjoy inside, I’d say go for it!!! Keep in consideration the weight of the container (especially when watered) they have some great options out there. Good luck!

[@carlawolf8260]

@@PAllenSmith thank you so much in letting me know . I don't have a balcony to do that . I wish I did because I love your hydrangea bushes . The colors always make me fell so good . I work at Walmart in the garden center for eight years and loved your plants. Thank you for your time as I know your very busy .

[@patriciahelton8578]

I live in Michigan what organic compost should I use when transplanting a rose nothing with chemicals

[@PAllenSmith]

Patricia Helton Homemade! Make your own using grass clippings, vegetable peelings, egg shells, pine needles, wood ashes, seaweed, coffee grounds, barnyard manures..... :) BTW: Your question is featured on my Instagram story feed right now!

[@vickymae1]

Great episode! 💐💐💐 What type of hydrangeas were shown? Please share the variety name.

[@PAllenSmith]

vickymae1 I believe those are Rhythmic Blue. Find more great varieties at www.gilberthwild.com

[@lindabarnes5299]

Love your videos! I'm an avid watcher. What kind of soil do you plant your asparagus in? The video looks pretty sandy.

[@PAllenSmith]

Linda Barnes Linda Barnes There is some sand in there. I have a clay base soil, so I had to add some extra amendments in to really loosen the soil. I make a lot of compost and have a lot of chicken 💩 . And I’ve used wood chips, straw, even mixed in shredded newspaper to make my soul blends and to break up the clay. I tilled and mounded heavily before i planted and I apply a layer down on top each year after I trim the stalks and before new growth emerges.

[@lindabarnes5299]

@@PAllenSmith, thank you for the reply! I will get out there and do the same....I too have heavy clay soil and put a lot of compost down but after 4 years, still not a lot of spears....may be too much shade or not enough feeding....will use my chicken poop this year! Thanks again! love your stuff!

[@maryodriscoll5378]

Can I use any other paper if I don’t have butcher paper ?

[@PAllenSmith]

A wax coated or parchment type paper would work well too.

[@lesleykissamericafarm9349]

Have you ever tried Neem oil for pests in your garden? The Rusted Garden (KZbin channel) sells this amazing oil. Since it's organic a person has to spray their plants once a week.

[@PAllenSmith]

Yes! I have used it often. Here is a list helping identify pests in the garden and organic control approaches. pallensmith.com/2014/10/27/whats-bugging-you/ Thanks for watching!

[@lesleykissamericafarm9349]

Great source! ;) Thank you so much!

@@lesleykissamericafarm9349 Gary aka (The Rusted Garden) is a great guy and we've had him to the farm at least once. Great KZbin Channel! kzbin.info/door/ptL6_qMImyW_yZwiMjQdpg

[@havfaith56]

I would used a natural oil like hemp or avocado oil.

[@PAllenSmith]

havfaith S. Good idea! I heard linseed oil does well too.
