Great garden tour and you have a lot of different plants and a big garden. Enjoy your time at the wedding and maybe it will have rained when you come back.

im in western wake county. its dry here too.The good news is that there might be rain before you get back. Boy will Aiden love this!!! I am continuing my nightly rain dance. Just to increase chances.

My dream is to hop the equator twice a year and live in perpetual long days! I’d like to be “down under” November-March.

Thanks for update on your Redwood. It looks very healthy. I think it was effected by Canker, or maybe some sort of Borers? I have a Cryptomeria Gyu Kuryu (i think is the spelling) that was attacked by Cypress Borers last year, but I caught early before they girdled the leader and several branches. Went out at night with bright flashlight, found them and squashed them. My Redwood is still trucking along but would rather sprout multiple leaders from within the plant and not on top. Central leader has grown around 4 inches tall, but a 2foot leader sprouted from middle of the tree. Plus some lower branches completely died. My Redwood seems to have a mind of its own. Anyway Pray for rain!!

Here in GA 8b && we need rain sooo badly too!! Every morning it starts out looking promising (a bit cloudy) but by 10am not a cloud in sight//sun blazing 🥵 Love the garden tours! Hard to find anyone else in this heat- I always watch your mom’s garden tours as well since she’s fairly close to me- also I didn’t see the before video where you explained about the moon sycamore?

[@BrieThePlantLady]

Ugh gardening right now isn’t fun!

Here in N Florida, we got a touch of rain last night, but nothing near to what we need. My plants are suffering too. While you are on vacation, take some videos of the area you will be in please! Would love to see some European flowers! Have a safe, fun trip!

[@BrieThePlantLady]

I’ll try my best. Can’t guarantee proper tour videos but I’ll capture sights and scenes 👍

[@mariealynch]

safe travels

[@willaerley7140]

You should do an all hydrangea tour about which ones perform best in NC and which the deer like best.

I hope you get rain soon! What are your thoughts on drip watering?

[@TomMacGarrett]

What is eating your hibiscus? It is eating ours as well.

[@BrieThePlantLady]

I think a small beetle.

[@soultraveler2103]

Hi Bree what do you do about slugs?

[@BrieThePlantLady]

Slugs really aren’t much of an issue here so I dont do anything. Diatomaceous earth is generally recommended to scatter on the top of the ground.
