How to prune Canna Lillies, Installing a Bird Bath, and Garden Clean Up  

Thank you! We love it, and so do the pollinators from the garden.

@@MrGardeners oh i know I have two of them and always have visitors 😁

Thank you very much! I'm happy our tips helped you get out there after yours, lol!

Thank you very much!!

I love to see some fellow Florida gardeners on here! We love working with our micro climates throughout the garden to all us to grow things we normally wouldn't be able to for our growing zone. Everything is always a trial with us, haha.

New stuff is always fun. How are your Hydrangeas doing? I’ve never had luck with them, but this year trying again … so far so good. I’m also trying Japanese maples. We’ll see.

Thank you so much! We appreciate your support

Thank you so much! We have mangos and lemons growing at the moment, and in the raised vegetable beds we have a few things growing from seed, too. We'll be posting those videos very soon!

Thank you so much! 👍🏼

Thank you so much! We have enjoyed watching everything slowly come together :)

@@MrGardeners Love that Bird Bath! I have 3, but 2 of them are old and poor condition. Did you get that locally by chance? I am in Pinellas County

Hi neighbor! Gardening in Florida definitely keeps us on our toes, lol. It's definitely a labor of love for us though! We hope your garden is doing well this year so far. :)

Thank you so much Maria! We appreciate your kind words and are happy you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for all of your kind words! We appreciate that! We just placed an order today for a new variety of Cana Lillies to add to the garden, so keep an eye out for that video soon. We're also thinking of compiling a video of all the visitors that are enjoying the new bird bath, too!

Thank you very much for the kind message! We appreciate your support in following along.

Thank you so much! We hope you have a great day too!

Thank you so much! We can definitely film an update to put out soon. They are still waking up in the garden, but the Spinderella already has buds forming!

Thank you so much for the kind words, and we're happy to have you here. I'm editing the next video now!

We got it at our local nursery. They didn’t have a name for it, and it was the last one left so we took it haha and turned out great!

And thank you for the kind words 🪴

Thank you so much! We are grateful for a smaller storm as well. In terms of the caterpillars, we don’t do anything with them in our home garden. We know it’s only for a few weeks, and then they are gone. However, we also have a long growing season and others may not be so lucky. We use Diatomaceous Earth in our client gardens though, and it works great and is natural/gentle

It depends on a few things! How large is the bush? How fast were you able to notice the damage. If the plant is manageable in size, dig it out and cut back the rotted roots. Mix one part 3% percent hydrogen peroxide with two parts water and carefully pour it over the plant's root system with a watering can or spray bottle. This will kill off the bacteria which causes root rot. This is when you would either site the plant in a new location of the garden, or amend the soil from the previous location with a better draining mix, and plant the root ball slightly higher than soil level. Hope this helps!

@@MrGardeners THANK YOU VERY MUCH - I TOTALLY APPRECIATE IT AND WILL GIVE YA AN UPDATE 🤍✨

We periodically just brush it with a soft wire brush, but usually run fresh water through it daily to keep the gunk out of it. We've been doing this since we installed it, and have never seen mosquito larvae before.👍🏻

We sure do! We plant as many flowers as we possibly can. We see quite a handful of hummingbirds visiting our gardens when in season 🥰

Hi K! They are annuals for most of the U.S., but in more tropical climates they will likely carry over, as long as you don't have too hard of a frost. In Tampa, they send up new shoots and keep growing. Keeping them fertilized helps a lot, especially for how many flowers each plant produces.

@@MrGardeners I am thrilled to hear we can grow Cannas easily here in Tampa area. I love them, and will be adding that to my list. I love anything I can grow in pots, and yours was a perfect example. (I am too old to get on the ground these days, so no more in ground planting.for me)
