When I had aphids infest my greenhouse, I got a bunch of ladybugs and turned them loose inside, and closed the door. They had them completely eradicated in a week, I could swear I could hear the chomping each time I went in there. I couldn't believe how fast they took care of them.

@tammyrice1529 Год назад

I always tell my Daughter Never say that something is a failure if you learn from the experience. You should try a fan in your greenhouse it really helped my bug problems in my greenhouse. I don’t get very many bugs anymore. I hope you have a great weekend.

I’m a little surprised PW hasn’t set up a greenhouse/distribution facility in a zone 9 area. There’s a good amount of area in zone 9 that I would think it would be a good financial move for them.

Oh Janey I’m so sorry. I find I have to wear my walking shoes to garden. Wishing you a speedy recovery . Get your girls to help you in the garden. They may look at you like WHATEVER but deep down it will make them a gardener. Happened with my daughter. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🧡

@donnasmieja6587 Год назад

You did a very good job disinfecting and cleaning your greenhouse. Another chore done for May 6th.😅Your indoor area that you overwintered the plants though should be cleaned just as thoroughly too, correct. Top to bottom of that room and every inch of surfaces that you have/had plants seedlings and older plants. I believe that would also give you peace of mind. Spring cleaning of it done. 😅

@peggy-ann1961 Год назад

Janey, you have 25,000 happy subscribers!!👏. So sorry you lost you petunias...I’ve given up on superbells in my deck pots. They’ve been infested the last three years and I’ve disinfected my pots each time. Ah well time for something new! That’s the adventure of gardening! 🇨🇦

@dianeasberry7928 Год назад

Well, the good thing is a clean greenhouse 😊

@tracyhobbs886 Год назад

Thank you for showing your uglies with us. It shows us that gardening isn’t always perfect all the time. 😊

@dawnmitchell11 Год назад

Your business is gardening and you're not new to it but still on the younger end of experience, so I think even failed experiments are worth it, because of gained knowledge. I think we have similar years of experience and I'm always trying things to experiment or push the envelope, just to see what's possible in my specific circumstances. Despite being in a particular grow zone, we still all have unique microclimates and conditions.

@barbaramccann7944 Год назад

Sorry you lost those plants but it’s a good lesson for all of us! I overwintered a few supertunias and caught and treated for aphids EARLY. But I madly took cuttings and now I’m overrun with more plants!

@digsindirt4490 Год назад

Ugh… Aphids are the worst! I rank them up there with fungus gnats. YUCK! I’m sorry about the Supertunias. Thank you for experimenting for those of us in the higher zones. We appreciate the effort. The beauty of the bleach mixture is it breaks down and neutralizes within 24 hours so won’t harm the environment. It’s definitely the most “gentle” yet effective chemicals to use.

@angelaengler2387 Год назад

I saved some Supertunias from last year in my heated shed and I took cuttings and they’re doing great! If you haven’t thrown out the plants you could try taking cuttings and throw away the soil? Lucky me, Lady Bugs are living in my shed and I really believe they’re keeping my plants aphid free. Spider mites are more troubling for me but not super bad 🌱🌷🌺🌼

@nolagirl7082 Год назад

The Supertunia’s from hell! You will never want to look at Limoncello’s ever again, haha! It’s a lesson learned! We ALL have to deal with Aphids. I knew you generally use the “spray them off” method, but I’ve had great luck with using Neem oil. It only takes one, maybe two good sprays and your good

@janeta2559 Год назад

Oh my goodness Janey, Im so sorry you lost all those beautiful supertunias. Glad the nurseries have them in stock ready to go. Wont be long and you will get the new ones.

@amarofam Год назад

I propagated my supertunias. It was very easy and in about a month they had the same size they sell in the store. Now I have them all over the garden. Good luck getting rid of the aphids, they are a pain!

@nikkiholton6318 Год назад

Janey I think you have done great dealing with the crazy weather....your garden always looks beautiful ❤

@katherinelara1801 Год назад

Janey, I live in the Phoenix area (also 9b). I bought Supertunias from Proven Winners online around mid/late October and I planted them then. I did have to cover them during our 6 or so frost nights. They stopped flowering inJanuary due to the cold but after our last frost date (mid Feb) they exploded with flowers. They are spilling over the edges of all pots. It may be worth experimenting this winter and trying to plant fresh supertunias to see if they hold up for you too.

@payton8613 Год назад

Another 9b gardener here, thanks for that idea, I hadn't thought of that route.

@penelopejane5285 Год назад

I am also 9b and can keep them going but I like to pull them to make sure I get rid of any and all bud worms ugh

@dlwboyle Год назад

👋🏻 👋🏻 👋🏻 from Escondido in So Cal zone 9b. I left my supertunias in their outdoor pots over this gnarly winter and they thrived! Bloomed non stop. Maybe u can too?🤞🏻

@sharabenson Год назад

Hi! I’m from Bakersfield, zone 9b and wanted to come and say the same. I have several from last year and they have all doubled or even tripled in size since cutting back this January. Most are blooming again already or about to and the plants look better than they’ve ever looked. I also experimented with propagating some in rain water outside and they’ve all rooted, now to plant them in soil (fingers crossed they’ll survive that too).

@Amber0220 Год назад

I live in Sacramento zone 9B and leave mine in my pots also year round outside. I only replace maybe every 3 or 4 years.

@linakhoury6623 Год назад

Hi Janey 🌺well done for cleaning and disinfecting the green house and I 'm sorry for lossing these beautiful color of supertunia plants ,you will definitely get another from them . Janey you can plant them from seeds , l take seeds from petunia and pansy that are green and put them until dry . Have anice day .🌺🌻🌺

@Pipscape Год назад

Stress tends to invite pests like aphids. Water blasts are helpful if you are waiting till the predators show up - or you import some (ladybugs released in the greenhouse would have cleared this infestation quickly). Without predator balance, how about a little IPM with some dilute dish soap? Highly effective against aphids and no more toxic than your dish washing water.

@WhiskerBiscuit369 Год назад

Buy some lady bugs. You can get about 300 for pretty cheap online. They do a great job of cleaning out those nasty bugs

@chafrajayfra32 Год назад

I like supertunias but they seem to be a lot of work. Either aphids or the weekly fertilizing. I like plant water and go. 😊

@rashawnabennett2776 Год назад

I wonder if you could have cut all the foliage back (like perennial cut back) and then let them flush back out? Such a bummer 😢

@pattyvalinote4612 Год назад

Wow lesson learned. So sorry you lost plants. But you have a green thumb and before you know it you will have beautiful flower ❤🪴❤️🪴❤️

@sheylaboucher3829 Год назад

Still 2 feet of snow here, in province of Quebec, so I do garden inside 😁 Thank's for sharing your experiences!

@peggy-ann1961 Год назад

Hi from Manitoba, yes very slow spring here! 🇨🇦

@jasminelouisefarrall Год назад

Oh yes these horrible sticky bugs 🙄 I will be dealing with them soon enough ☠️ great job Janey 🥰

@richbishop7896 Год назад

Live and learn. It's all apart of gardening.

@dianetemple4243 Год назад

I think I probably would have used the garden hose with a disinfectant in a hose end sprayer. I can see that with your open pool, that might not work.

@itsmewende Год назад

You had a great idea, you just needed a few ladybugs hanging out with ya 😊 Your greenhouse will clean and bright for the tour. Are you counting the days now. ?

@catherinefrasier4051 Год назад

Hi Janey, great infoagain! I read somewhere ants bring aphids into gardens and raise them for food. I'm wondering if you know anything about tis. This article suggested the use of ant traps to help aphids. Looking forward to hearing your thougts. Thanks for all of your sharing!

@Laura-J-Z Год назад

Good to know

@tulle7358 Год назад

I would wash the floor in the greenhouse to, I’ll bet some felt off doing the cleaning. Are you not supposed to sorting dirt and plastic/pot etc in different containers? I mean, will it not just end of on a landfill? Or the dirt go to recycling to make city compost ? Then there will be plastic in it?! I was just wondering…

@twilde3754 Год назад

So much good information in your videos. Many thanks!!

@andrarosenegger5512 Год назад

You can buy laldybugs 🥰 They eat athe phids right up - it does not take long.

@DigPlantWaterRepeat Год назад

Oooh, great tip Andra!

@nikkiholton6318 Год назад

I was wondering if spraying the inside with the solution would be ok rather than wiping it all down

@lelyluck Год назад

Hey what do you think about a video on what you’ll be doing with spring bulbs after spring. Do you store them for next year?? Or do you leave them in the ground?

@tammycook7770 Год назад

I hate your overwintering did not work. I'm in zone 8b and just tried leaving mine in the ground and mine are already growing and blooming like crazy. And yes I did get blasted by the December artic freeze. I did not cover them at all. Also no aphids at all.

@judyrhine234 Год назад

You have to treat the soil where they grow. Mosquito bits sprinkled on the soil will help with that. I don’t put them water I just spread the bits on the soil and every time I water it treats the soil. Then spray the green house. Mosquito Bits is not harmful

@DianeCee0 Год назад

Could you have released ladybugs in there? Not sure if you can buy them in CA

@gracieshomeandgardens5089 Год назад

Ohh no janey! 😢

@eileenchang2173 Год назад

Janey, please check MSDS (material safety data sheets)/regarding use of bleach for your own safety . ❤️🇨🇦

@carolynclark8312 Год назад

I have no experience with aphids but could you go ahead and cut plant way back and possibly save the plants?

@MariePotsPlants Год назад

Aphids were what discouraged me most last summer.. my first real summer gardening experience.. I had an army of ants on the peppers and after researching it was aphids that were attracting the ants.. I sprayed and it would be good for a couple of days but they’d come back. It was a struggle for sure! Janey I have a question for your master gardener mind… looking at photos from last year, our grape vine was FULL of leaves by now.. I finally noticed a few leaf buds just yesterday! Do you think that’s from the colder fall and winter we had? I was beginning to worry they weren’t coming back! I was so happy to finally see some sign of life!

@ChrisWootenNorthCarolina Год назад

Plant catmint or catnip I can’t remember which in the pots with your veggies. When I was younger I did this and my veggies never had any insects. It’s one of those two cat flowers, wish I could remember which. Want to say it was the catmint.

@digsindirt4490 Год назад

I have a question for everyone re the strong stream of water. When I do that in the garden, I always think… “Am I just spreading the aphids to the next plant?” Does the strong stream actually kill them or does it just knock them off for a later date?

@DigPlantWaterRepeat Год назад

I had the same question but just learned in master gardeners that no, you are actually killing them. They are sucking insects with sucking mouthparts in the leaves. When you knock them off you are actually ripping off their mouthpart (sorry to be graphic) which basically causes them to starve bc they can no longer eat! Crazy huh?

@nikkiholton6318 Год назад

Sometimes we have to let other things go ...and then we pay ....but it happens to all of us

@sewfarm7266 Год назад

Thanks for sharing your experience with us! I’m a fairly new (obsessed) flower gardener also, so I definitely benefited from this info. I live close to you in the same zone too! I even had the same brand new greenhouse as you but sadly it was destroyed before I even got to use it. Oh well, it’s the way things go sometimes. Kirsten
