Keeping Poinsettias Alive after the Holidays
Many sites tell the same.
This summer I'm growing Heirloom beefsteak tomatoes. I planted them in the garden in May, and they're already about five feet tall and loaded with tomatoes.
I have a question. I have Better Bush tomatoes from Costo. I already harvested my "bumper crop" and have just a few new flowers on top and 1 lone fruit. I was considering removing it from my small raised garden and replacing it with one of the several replacements from suckers I have on deck that could use a better space. When would you consider the plant done or done enough for the season? It is healthy, just wondering what to expect. I live in Coastal SC zone 8B Thanks!
Great tips thank you❤
Are you falling asleep?
Do you think you can leave Elephant Ear outside in the Atlanta, Georgia area?
I would like to get hold of a seed catalogue, I live in Nepal, is it possible?
This is how all traditional hanging baskets are made in Europe, the incorrect way is to shove all the petunias in the top of a planter
Belgium giant up to 5 lb best tasting I have ever ate
Thats what i came on to find out what to do.Thank you😊

I use garden debris.
Instead of putting empty plastic bottles, add weight by filling the bottles with water and capping them.
Hi, I have done this for a couple of years, but I am wondering why you used the newspaper layer? I have found that the plant roots will grow down through the cracks between the bottles with soil (I use aluminum cans and pieces of Styrofoam with a dryer sheet or coffee filter over the holes and yes, like you, I believe more holes are better than two) and wouldn't they not go through the newspaper? Thanks.
When treated like an ordinary houseplant but put outside during the frost free season they will bloom at random times. Do not leave out in freeze or frost ! I would like to see what the bulb growers do to produce those large bulbs. Full sun ? Full sun plus bright artificial light during part of the night? Supplemental carbon dioxide in a greenhouse environment ?
Add about 10% greensand to the potting mix especially if not the Espoma which already has fertility ingredients? Greensand is a ground up ocean rock that is supposed to be rich in potassium (but not easy release)
at about 8:00 it might help to drill a few small holes in the bottom of the pot (means you have to provide something below the pot to protect furniture) and a few holes in the side of the pot about an inch above the bottom (air holes to help the roots breathe) in that case could use a very dilute African Violet soluble fertilizer at about 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water ?
Thank you for sharing! I’ve used this trick for years! Instead of plastic bottles, which I don’t use, I fill the planter base with the empty plastic containers of the individual annuals I purchase for each planter. The goal Is the same just a different “filler”
I love Old German tomatoes
Could you kindly provide a video update? thanks!
I’ve just tried using sticks and small bits and pieces from the garden and compost in the bottom, it’s kind of mini-permaculture. I’ll see if it works?!
I use mulched grass and leaves every year. It breaks down and feeds the plants.
Wow ! What a great teacher you are! Thank you !
I was training my indeterminate cherry tomatoes on a welded wire fence next to the nursery bucket they were growing in. That plant went crazy producing fruit well into fall! Had so many I gifted them to my 80-year-old neighbors all summer. I took in the green the night before frost and put them in a styrofoam cooler lined with newspaper. We were still eating cherry tomatoes until December in Colorado.
Great way to share with the neighbors.

Great tomato!
How big do those get? Productive plants? Better taste than Better Boy? I bought one, just planted it last week. I heard they are good.
You don't store tomatoes in the fridge...!
You're 💯 % correct with Indetermite, tomatoes last year was my first time growing not knowing i bought Indetermite variety it got to 5 ft than frost killed it.We had so many fruits i had to harvest it when it died. Left on the kitchen counter to rip oh boy it last for a long time after it ripped. That was Roma tomatoes. This year i grabbed Big boy and Big beef Indertermite again without checking the lable lol. And yes it's thriving with lots of fruits.This year i will keep my eyes for the frost and cover it so i can continue to have tomatoes all year round since i live in Phx, Az
Thanks for watching, commenting and sharing. Good Luck this year!
I grow indeterminate "Blac, brandywine" and sweet 100's cherry,I saw some Tomato's that are green when ripe i'd like to try.
Thanks for watching and sharing your ideas.
Can I take 4 separate 10 inch pots and break them up and repot in larger one, to get instant color
Great way to build instant color!
put a coffee filter over the drain holes to prevent any soil from leaking out... if worried pot might be turned over just fill some water bottles with water ... cover plastic filler with an old bath rug or piece of carpet which will help hold moisture as well as the soil. set pot you are removing the current flowets in into the new planter and fill around with your soil then just set new flower mass into the displaced spot... easy
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
I cover the draining holes and bottom of the pots with stones. It works very well at filling part of the pot, drainage and adding weight. Also works well with breaking apart the old soil and reusing next year
I used small branches and sticks that dropped off our maple and oak trees during recent storms. Adding the potting soil on top working out great for our dwarf container apple tree
Great way to use the sticks from your trees!
Thanks, very informative loved it❤
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
You are right I lost 12 pots last summer like that
Oh my Goodness. Hopefully this year will be better! Good Luck!
Will definitely try this .thanks for shareing
Most welcome 😊Thanks for watching!
How will the water go down through the paper ? It is not a good idea
Paper is porous and eventually it will decompose.No problem.
Water will go through the paper, I will go down the sides. There won't be a problem. If you feel that there might be a problem, you don't have to use paper and just allow the potting soil sift down between the edges of the bottles, cans, or whatever filler you might use.
Gonna try! You never know till you try!
Good luck! and Thanks for watching!
Definitely trying that this year
Hope it works out and you see the difference! Thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness!! LOVE this idea!
Me too!! Thanks for watching!
I use soil from my largest pot with soil from last year at the bottom of containers I add peat moss and worm castings to the old soil. Then I use the new container soil on the top half of the container.
Thanks for sharing your idea....what a great re-use of old soil!
You don't need new soil every year.
I use some polystyrene.
Great filler.
Wow! Thank you great idea .
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Could you please explain why seed companies print catalogs !!!!???? Seems like that's a unnecessary expense !!!! Why wouldn't they just do it on line !!!!????
I can't give you the "numbers", however, I understand that printed catalogs have been significantly dropping. Many companies are going digital. There are still many buyers that still want the paper catalog. So printed catalogs are being reduced.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 : thanks
there is still a market of people that don't always do online.
@@americanspeciosafarm4301 thanks
Do you throw away the seeds ?
Great Question, and it depends on if you want to allow the seeds to develop or mature. I try and cut off the spend flower blossom before the seed pod starts to develop. This allows for all of the energy to go to the mother bulb vs trying to grow seeds.
@@SuccessfulGardens1 thank you!
Thanks
No problem. Thanks for watching!
I have in my garden over 4000 diffant coloured Amaryllis, and from my cross pollination this year i have over 6000 seedlings in my hot house hee in Botswana. I started growing Amaryllis 14 years ago and only in the last 5 years have I started planting my own seeds
That is amazing! Thanks for sharing and good luck!
Better Boy, Early Girl, and San Manzano are my go to as well as Sweet 100 Cherry
Great varieties that you grow. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing. Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Actually, you could have used the plant pot to fill in the larger pot.
Great suggestion. There are definetly many options to use to stuff your pots with.
Yes, I often turn the pot(s) the plant(s) came in upside down as filler. If you're planting something edible and want to stay away from plastic, use soda cans.
You also could have made this pot into a self watering pot. So easy and less watering
This is gorgeous! I would love to give this a try but I live in south west Florida. Are these plants do-able in the zone 9? By the way, my husband and I love gnomes, it's all over around our house. Thank you for this wonderful DIY!
Since you are in South Florida, try with some of the plants from your area.
Celebrity and San Marzano det and indeter
Great choices! Thanks for watching!
