1 plant: yup when it said bush and space saver I thought it was like big kahuna beans. 🫘 now I’m like how big and long do normal cucumbers get. I planted like 12 of them thinking they where bushes. I was lucky I could just walk around and grab sticks to use for trellising and they would grab on to bushes
Bugleweed is an invasive species in Ontario. Please search out a native ground cover before you consider this plant! Search "Grow me instead" on Google for Ontario native plants
Very helpful Thank you!!!!! ❤ On the orchids I got from my mother’s funeral……both tags on the pots indicated to use ice cubes…...? Why would they do that?
Apart from comparing them to wine, I'd also say that the level of maintenance required makes them more cost-effective and more rewarding than maintaining a husband 👍
This is the first season I have seen them in my flower gardens. I call them satan bugs and they totally creep me out! Trying the canola oil/soy sauce tonight!! 🤞🤞
Don't be fooled, they get a bad rap because they eat live plant matter too,:okra, basil, cabbage, salad, beans. Caught in the act, oil and soy traps helped clear them out.
Frankie ive grown up watching you. Because of you i have developed an interest passion and love of plants and flowers. I want to go to school to be a florist. I would love to meet you and id love to shadow you one day. Thank you for helping me discover my interest and passion. Sincerely bailey
Every so often, my MIL gives me an orchid plant. I usually end up killing them as I don't know how to care for them. Your video taught me so much about caring for them. Perhaps the latest one I received on Mother's Day will survive thanks to your tips. I even ordered that fertilizer you suggested.
I was pulling slugs off my potted zinnia seedlings, they destroyed about 75% of them. It finally seemed to be under control, then last night I look at one pot and see about 8 earwigs chewing away! Damn!
Lantana is a noxious weed here in Australia has taken over from mountains to coast drought tolerant would be terrible as it would take over flat Plains noxious weed 😮😮😮😮
No one “ever” mentions if you can get the spray on the roses too or new buds without damaging the rose itself! I take it as….it’s ok to spray the rose too…I would be ticked if the spray ruined my roses!!
Great comment! I found out the hard way and the solution damaged my buds and rose flowers by making them wilt and discoloring the vibrant coloring of the flowers. Perhaps if I tweak the measurement of dish soap, but I’m unwilling to test it at this point.
@@radiantsmiler3689 we always find out the hard way!😂….thanks for your reply my friend! If you find a better solution when the roses have bloomed, let me know k?
