    Very concerned about the dead branches in his boxwood. That needs to be addressed, diagnosed and treated before it spreads any further.

    • @volunteergardener
      @volunteergardener 2 дні тому

      The dead branches in the boxwood was due to a December 2022 freeze in which the temperature went from 55 degrees to -10 within 10 hours. Not a disease issue.

    I’ve done cuttings of my tomatoes at the end of last season and they fruited indoors all winter while still in water… not a lot but they were still alive and producing.

    Soil. Not dirt. There is a difference!

    Another option is to plant early and then wrap the plants in painters plastic or plastic sheeting to make a temperary green house. This js especially easy in raised beds with fences around them but can also be done with tomato cages and wrap individual plants or groups of plants.

    If you don't mow the zinnias and cosmos till after they go to seed, you would have them, too! They reseed. Look at the wild fields of cosmos ... And zinnias that come up volunteer year after year. Make sure you don't mow the daffodils till the leaves completely turn brown. The grass will get quite tall.

    Daff will have puppies, that take about 4,5 years to be mature to bloom. Start scatter planting small clusters of tulips. A mix of verities for a long blooming season. Maybe plant a "hedgerow"of butterfly, bee and hummingbird attractors. Do homework and use short growing trees or shurbs. Im shocked your cosmos didn't reseed it's self. Also try California poppies, poppies in general.

    • @adelechicken6356

      Only plant tulips if there are no white tailed deer in your area. They do love tulip leaves and will walk right up to the house for a nibble. You could also add some chives, they are very pretty, but they won't prevent deer damage.❤❤😊😊

    That cushion is not years and years of mold. We built a new deck in July and by October it was completely covered in black mold for which a professional pressure washing wasnt able to remove it all, and dried out the lumber of its natural oils. Our cars have permanent black spots embedded in the paint, roof shingles grow thick moss year round, and we battle slugs, spiders, termites, roaches, slime mold, carpenter ants…it takes a second job to pay to treat the issues and replace the deck furniture twice a year. Those who speak favorably of this tree does not live under one!

    Monarda is a bit aggressive. I pulled bushels full of it this spring. You can leave it if all you want is bee balm, but nobody wants one thing dominating their whole garden. Upside is it’s really easy to pull. Do your research before planting natives. Some you probably want to skip altogether.
