Thank you for your feedback. I have pruned the petunias that is this video, maybe about 3 weeks ago. Waiting to see if they will bush out or not. I have grown petunias in the past, not started from seeds but from local garden centers. Although they are gorgeous and come in different colours, I find them high-maintenance AND they tend to get infested with a lot of pests. This year I thought I’d give them another go but ya, probably will not be growing them again. I’m in Ontario, Canada.

Thank you for the love and support!🥰

Exactly why I also love to create my garden in pots. How long have you been gardening in this style? I’m quite new:)

@@ContainerGardeningWithAmy Only a few years, but every year I keep adding more like a true addict! It's definitely something to budget a little extra for, especially because plants outgrow their pots, and you have to change/add soil every now and then. But I find it so fulfilling. I'm even trying a few young trees/shrubs in pots this year, and I hope regular pruning can help keep their size down.

@@katrinaelle7774 I love your remark, “…like a true addict”. So true!🤣 But also true is how fulfilling it is to grow a wonderful garden full of beautiful flowers, and to watch pollinators come to visit. I support your addiction 100%! Happy gardening!🥰

The pink climbing rose growing on my pergola is called Jasmina. She’s grown in the ground.

Thank you for watching my video. Glad you found it helpful🥰

Thanks for the suggestion. Appreciate the feedback. I used to show the names of all the plants in my videos but this process take way too long as my collection has grown and I just don’t have the time to spend on editing in such a way. Editing already takes me forever as is, if I add names, I’d never get it done…lol! If you’re interested in a certain plant/plants, send me a quick message and I’d be happy to respond back. Thank you for your understanding!

Thank you!🥰🥰🥰

Which type did you grow?

Yay! It’s so exciting to be able to grow plants from seeds!🙌🏼

Thank you!

Thank you for watching my video! ❤️❤️❤️ I normally try my best to avoid using chemicals in my garden as I get quite a bit of pollinators that come to visit. From my personal experience, sawflies will create unsightly holes on the leaves but this does not harm the plant in any way. If the damages are just cosmetic in nature, I will leave it be. If the pest damages are harmful to the plants or if it starts to impact the flower buds etc, I normally spray with a homemade spray of neem oil mix. I hope this helps! Happy gardening!🥰

@@ContainerGardeningWithAmy It helped immensely! I appreciate your response and I look forward to your videos! 😍

@@katiaotero5273 Thank you for the support and love!🥰

A plant/flower that has 2 or more negative attributes will likely not return to my garden. Sometimes it’s just not it being tall and floppy that got it cut from my list. Thank you for your suggestion!🥰🥰🥰

I purchased this black metal ornamental piece at Home Sense. They come in different sizes and also different colours.

All different sizes depending what type of plants I am planting. Plants that are expected to grow quite large will be planted in a bigger pot. Plants that are on the smaller size will be planted in a smaller pot. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much!

Yay to crazy wild gardens!🥰

Does your taller (12”) forget-me-not come back for you every year? I’m hoping mine will as it is labeled as “perennial” on the package. You’re absolutely right about plants looking quite wilted and tired at this time of the year at some nurseries. At the big box stores they started looking bad even at the beginning of June! There’s 3 local garden nurseries close to me that does an amazing job maintaining their stocks. They are definitely my ‘go to’ places to shop. Thank you for watching!❤️ Happy gardening!

I’m assuming you’re referring to my Millennium Alliums? How often should they get divided? They are 2nd year in my garden.

Yes I was as you were complaining they had fewer flowers last year. I have three clumps which are getting bigger and I have not noticed any difference in the flowering. But dividing can help most plants. I don't know your garden yet so it is hard to say. Crowded? Under watered? Not enough nutrients? We can only try! ​@@ContainerGardeningWithAmy

Thank you!❤️ I’ve always liked roses but in the last few years they have quickly become my absolutely favourite in my garden. I wish I had more space to plant more!😊

Thank you for the words of encouragement!🥰 My journey to learning how to start plants from seeds has been a long one…lol! Failed for years, but I think I finally got it…woohoo!😁

For my containers in the middle section, it is not too difficult to water them without having to water overhead, avoiding for the most part, getting the the leaves wet. I am able to access the pots from both sides, making it quite easy to accomplish this. Also, I do try to water early in the morning on sunny days. This will allow amble time for the leaves to dry if they do happen to get wet. Lastly, I've purchased a watering wand that is fairly long, this allows me to reach quite far, and on top of this I have long arms...lol! I hope this helps! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment🥰

@@ContainerGardeningWithAmy Thank you for replying so quickly Amy! You shared very helpful information for me. I'm so glad I discovered your channel and look forward to watching every video you film.

@@marthacassie1881 I love connecting with gardeners on this channel. We learn so much from one another. Thank you for the love and support!🥰🥰🥰

This year I purchased 8 new roses, 3 of which are not the same colour as on the label of the plant. This has happened to me a few times in the past as well. Sometimes it’s a pleasant surprise (we end up liking it anyways) but sometimes it’s a total disappointment as it’s not what we wanted to order.

@@ContainerGardeningWithAmy After researching more on Jasmina I am certain I have the wrong one though gorgeous. So now to reorder Jasmina as it looks like one I MUST have. Yours is absolutely stunning!

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Thank you!🥰 Jasmina did take awhile to get established in my garden. It’s probably now her 5th year, but she’s so worth the wait! I hope she comes back next year the same, if not even better.

Do you mean that they will produce additional flowering spikes if curled as you’ve mentioned? Interesting! I might try that for the ones planted in my pots. Thank you for sharing!🥰

Thank you for sharing your tip using zinnias with roses. Good idea! You’ve made a good point about learning from watching other gardeners with maintenance and such. I will bare that in mind for future videos. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Much appreciated!🥰

Thank you so much!🥰

I also consider myself a beginner gardener, learning from trial and errors:) Thank you for the feedback. Really appreciate it! As for your question regarding which pots I use…any pots I have on hand! I usually save a lot of the large nursery pots from my purchases. I use a lot of those. Aside from these I do like to use terracotta or ceramic pots. These pots are for plants that are more visible in my display. I hope this helps! Thank you for watching!❤️

You’re right, I am an amature gardener!😊 The “scrambled mess” is my own personal unique style, sorry it’s not your cup of tea.🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you for watching anyways! Have a wonderful day!

Unless you are a profession gardener getting paid, we are all amateurs! Gardening is my hobby and I've been doing it for a very long time. Still officially an amateur. Practice practice practice. 😂

I’m located in Ontario/Canada.

Thank you!🥰

Thank you so much!❤️

I tried that for awhile but it was still way too messy for me. I was still constantly re-arranging and propping it up, trying to keep it in check. I don’t particularly like plants that require too much maintenance as they take away my time from other gardening chores.

I added mine last year, so far it has not flower for me yet. I’m still sitting on the fence whether I will keep the flowers or not when it blooms. I had no idea they spread so fast…lol! Good thing though, they are easy to remove if/when they grow too large.😊

Sorry, I don’t know the exact name as it was purchased from Costco in a variety pack. I believe it might be part of the “STARGAZER - Oriental Hybrid” combo. Hope this helps!
