Planting My Favorite Coleus & Spraying For Bugs 🪲|| Visit Our Garden

[@donnasantamaria8317]

Robbie! LOVE the white lattice obelisk planting! What a great plant combination! Also like the wine cooler basket planter! Can you please give us an update on your converted drink box planter and how that's working out? Love how you come up with these ideas for containers! Good luck with the powdery mildew.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Robbie! That's sad about your coleus. Stray cats are the worst! Thank you so much for sharing what you do for pests!

[@barbararaymond9577]

I love the fountain garden. I would sit there all day...❤🍀🪴

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

Robbie, I love how your very real about everything. Now that poor lemon basil I think you can bring it back. Please try and show us her growing. That would be so fun to watch abd you smelling her. I have things that like to smell. 1 thing I keep and smell from time to time is tea tree oil. All your gardens are looking beautiful. I absolutely love your white rose that's blooming. Love y'all.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nicholasryan5401]

Beautiful flowerbox and garden, Its the bees knees.

[@doreen9838]

Love your flower box color combination!!!!!!!

[@Rina-rs6up]

My daughter uses BioAdvanced Rose/ flower care. It covers aphids, bugs , mold stuff, etc... one product for all those problems.. I was using the copper spray you have. I've switched to her recommended product this year. It's recommended to spay once a month. Shrubs roses boxwoods, etc..at Lowe's .so far, so good...

[@carlarivas1238]

Ughhh - me too with the powdery mildew. Every year same old same old. First flush of roses and then the mildew. Good luck with the neighbors tree.

[@DouglasDrake-o8e]

Thanks for mentioning the pollinators! Good advice to spray in the evening.

[@janetroby5655]

Your garden looks great. Maybe some brunnera next to the lungwort?

[@daiseegray9110]

Thanks for mentioning you were going to wait and spray later in the evening after the pollinators went to sleep 🌼🐝

[@jennsmith4832]

Hi Robbie, the oldest show of you're that I could find was 11 months ago. When did you start your channel? What made you start filming? Was it just thought to do for fun or thought to do for finance to help with the plant shoopping.😊 I know how that is can't past up. Our town gardeners had a plant sale today. They sell from their gardens to earn for planting in town. I went down 3 times. Things I just paid $15 at nursery they had for $5 and a good size plant.

[@deborahgosse1186]

Wow Robbie, Your garden looks fantastic !! Your hard work is paying off !!

[@KP-gw5zv]

Powdery mildew can be caused by having no breathing space and too crowded in the area near the ground and having just too much other stuff growing around the plant. As well as again where your apples are is just being to crowded on top and not spraying the 3 times over the winter with a dormant spray with copper concentrate mixed in. You spray once in November, then around December then last which is very important around March or when the blooms and leaves are just starting to bush out.

[@gwendolynrobinson1920]

Robbie, you have the sweetest, most obedient dog! Give him a hug from an 84 year old lady!🥰

[@dmcr8171]

Morning ! I had a Gold Flame Honeysuckle for 15 years. (NJ zone 7) EVERY year the Powdery Mildew. Finally I started spraying BioAdvanced Insect, Disease & Mite Control every weekend. Purchased at Lowes. Start early in spring before powdery mildew appears and spray EVERY weekend till fall.

[@VintageSoulMelanie]

I need this so bad. Will it hurt the hummingbirds and pollinators?

[@yorkie75]

When mildew is such a problem wouldn’t it be better to replace it with a mildew resistant honeysuckle or something else that doesn’t get mildew?

[@barbaracole4314]

That window box with all the yellow flowers is so beautiful, you do everything so professional, very nice yard.

[@peggycole616]

Love the topiary in basket

[@AGloriousLife]

A couple of months ago, I used the same Copper solution (RTU) on an apple tree that had powdery mildew and it cleared it right up!

[@Sunshine-tf4ul]

Hi Robbie! I used to have the aphid problem really bad in my garden and i did a lot of Neem oil spraying blah, blah, blah, but now the aphids are only on a small number of my drift roses. But other than that, no more aphids. Thank god! I really think the secret is the Bioadvance all in one rose granular fertilizer. I swear, it really controls the bugs and the fungal issues as well. Since I've started using it, I hardly see any aphids in my garden. you should give it a try, I really love it. I hope it can work for you!! I hope this helps! Garden is looking fabulous!!!

[@VintageSoulMelanie]

I love your videos, Robbie!!! Your house and your amazing yard are beautiful! Goals!!! Lol I know you like Hummingbirds as much as I do. Will the Neem oil and the one for powder mildew hurt the hummingbirds? Last year I used Neem. I really need the powdery mildew product this year with the weather we are having in NC. I’m concerned about my hummingbirds. Thank you for great content!

[@hris02]

ive heard spoiled milk helps against Mildew , i use closer insecticide against white flies and aphieds

[@salimorton641]

The color combination on the front window box is stellar! And the garden bed is so calming and peaceful. A true awh moment.

[@lindahughes530]

Looking fabulous ❤️

[@lizswinney2637]

Love your coleus. I have learned so much from you and Janey. Thanks for all the info you give us.

[@corinavanegas2150]

Thank you for this information. I have some many of your issues and you cleared a lot of my questions regarding the product to use

[@robertagrigsby9051]

Hey...that looks just like my Basil...

[@lindylou3519]

I just buy the cheapest pump sprayers & rinse the tip after use. They last me a few years.

[@loismackie1082]

I bought a Vaxmay electric sprayer on Amazon this spring and love it. It was inexpensive but works great

[@bettyboop1524]

I agree about the HDX pump sprayer. It's just trash, barely works when it's new and after a short period of time doesn't work at all. If you ever find one that works and doesn't cost a 💰let us know. So frustrating.

[@sandykoenig1666]

I excited to see how the Coleus fill out and fill in. Learned a lot about how to treat different plant problems, thank you.

[@maddied58]

Repurposing the wine basket is great idea…perfect! And Freya approved 😊 Great way to start my Saturday…cup of coffee and watching your video!! Happy Gardening 🌸🌻

[@chriscarpenter4972]

Omg!!! Your window box is amazing, love all the plants you selected!

[@medinasod2013]

I love you garden and those cooleus are gorgeous. I'm going to try to find some or just start a shade garden. Thanks for sharing. Robbie

[@MAA-dt1yo]

Come on, little Wasabis, you can do it ❤

[@gardensglory1229]

I love that you share your failures. We all forget or don’t feel like doing some plant chores that result in things not looking so hot. Nice to know we’re not alone! Deanna

[@lisahowell3468]

Dude, you showed us aphids! Thank you ! I never knew what they actually looked like, now I know! I’ll be on the lookout for them now in my garden. I have a few plants being munched on by something, so I appreciate the advice on what to use! Your garden is looking spectacular! Have a wonderful weekend!🌻🌸🌷💚

[@RomaineChase]

Good Robbie, You need one of those planting mats while planting on your table/furniture. This will avoid making a mess. HAPPY GARDENING!

[@StaceyFernandes-ek9ks]

i think to keep hydrangeas blue you use soil amplifier( i don’t know what it’s could sorry)

[@JAYNEmM1962]

If you find a good sprayer that doesn't die after one yr please let us know. I buy several to have ready.and replacing 5 pumps every year is expensive.

[@patsampson6990]

Garden looks so pretty! Have a lovely week end. I hope Brent is feeling better.

[@ptgardener3725]

Thank you!!! This was information I was needing right now!!!❤

[@DorothyDunn-wg1xw]

Dear Robbie your garden is so very beautiful 😍and as always Freya adds that extra touch of charm and magic .. my question is do you ever consider wearing gloves when handling pesticides ? Our skin is absorbent …and I concern myself with things like that .

[@brendahayes3365]

I love Coleus topiarys!! I took one from last year and trimmed it all back except the straight central stem leaving a few leaves on top. Kept an eye on it all winter and trimmed back any stems that were out of place. I wanted it small and now have about a 12” high perfect topiary in a beautiful little decorative container❤️. It is kept indoors and always will be. Watching your video it hit me I have never fertilized it!🤦‍♀️ I will do that today. I can’t wait to see yours grow, I will do more for sure. Robbie last year you were planning on doing a big change to your back yard, adding some formality with boxwoods? Doing it in quadrants or somethong? I love your yard as it is but wondering what you had decided? I don’t think I’ve ever missed one of your videos? Anyway, very good educational video, will keep it for future reference. Thank you so much. Brenda🇨🇦

[@bethjohnson8234]

Love the flower box….love your dog,beautiful

[@stephanigorman917]

Robbie, your garden is looking so…beautiful now! I love all the changes you have made recently. Keep up the great work! I will be changing my ways and spray in the evenings. Thanks so much, Stephani

[@doloressanchez9214]

Hi Robbie!!! Love the shirt ❤. Janey would approve. I have powdery mildew on my apricot rose. 😢 I'll try some of your suggestions.

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

Robbie, can you ask Monrovia what they recommend for powdery mildew for the honeysuckle? I have a gold flame honeysuckle plant and it has mildew too.

[@echomountain3370]

When I read your title I misread it as: Planting my Favorite Coleus & Praying for Bugs. 🤣

[@StaceyFernandes-ek9ks]

Robbie have you ever thought of using an auger to do larger drifts? there is a lot of sizes and different prices and different different types but it would take you so much less time to do a multi holes and then you throw your fertilizer and pop the plants. Great have a good weekend Stacey from Philly.

[@KristiB73]

The garden is teaching you patience. 💙

Great information. Thank you

Hi Robbie, your Rose's are beautiful! Will you be offering another David Austin discount code? Thanks

[@cacticollector6542]

QUESTION The neem oil do you mix water and a little dish soap with it? I bought some neem oil and every time I sprayed my roses the leaves looked oily and would turn yellow and then fall off. I would always spray either early morning or late evening so as to not burn the leaves.

[@micheleguenther3250]

Good morning Robbie! So nice to see you in your garden early in the morning here from Indiana❤ Enjoying your garden with you is a real treat❤ Thanks for all your hard work 😊

[@LeighWalker-dd9bg]

Please show us your grow room where you over winter your cuttings

[@marcychavez936]

I bought the sprayer from Lowe’s and it works really good for a cheap little sprayer. Haven’t had a problem yet the one that says round up.

[@marcychavez936]

Not the liquid just the sprayer like the one you hate, but it just says round up

[@5262janna]

Great idea to use the mulch bag!

[@abiering]

Did you poke a few holes in the coleus planted in plastic for drainage?

[@wendyostlund3482]

When you use the Neem Oil, do you always use it full strength regardless for the plant?

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

I just got my sprayer hopefully it will last! Love your garden.

[@katiecandelario]

I know you know, but my Mom side can’t help it, get your PPE on son😊. Its not the one time though, it is all the exposures through all the years. Even the organic stuff, protect yourself.😘

[@lindawhite3238]

Hey Robbie, will the stake on the one topiary type coleus not impede the growth of the leaves as it is right up against the stem? I’m sure they will all bounce back and be even more luscious!

[@curtreese3089]

I’ve used both products for powdery mildew on my roses… I battle it every year… nothing seems to work… I have it so bad this year, I’ve had to strip all leaves off of one of my roses… I give up…

[@doloresramirez3289]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thanks Robbie. I’ve been trying to work out in my new garden but between being in the FULL sun, the wood ticks, the biting flies AND the tormenting snake I’m very reluctant to work in that area BUT it needs to be done. Baby steps I guess. I’ve planted several smallish trees out there but I’m pretty sure that I’ll never see them reach maturity. In fact I have to dig a hole today to plant a Hortsmann Korean fir, the tiniest little fir but it is SOOOOOOO cute, the hole doesn’t have to be very big 🤣 BUT there are so many roots out there from when we clear cut the jungle behind our garage it does make it difficult to plant anything in the ground where you want it. I’m just VERY lucky I’m not dealing with big roots, just roots from an invasive shrub that littered that area, while there are some biggish roots from volunteer trees I can usually work around them. Story time over 🤣 HAPPY GROWING ROBBIE. 💐💚🙃

Seeing that blue copper stuff brought back memories of when I was a kid and we had a 2 acre commercial fishing lake which was all about gardening too because every year we had to deal with something, plugged springs (divers unplugged), snails, a carp that was eating other fish, but one year this tall grass began growing in the lake and was suffocating the fish. I was 12. My mom had me go out in a rowboat and take measurements of the depth of the lake to order copper sulfate in barrels to kill the grass. It took multiple barrels, but once the grass all died, we had to go out on the boat and roll the grass into bales as it pulled up. The boat would almost sink before we got the heavy grass into shore. In a couple days it was as light as a feather to move. So, that's how I spent my summers, gardening in a lake.
