Hi @goldriderlc . Thanks for reaching out to us. If you do alot of gardening, it's certainly something to look into. There are alot of different ones out on the market and tons of videos on building you own worm farm. Like I always say in the videos, the best part about having it is not only the worm castings that I get but a place to get rid of all our table scraps and not sending it to the landfill. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @reneecle . Thanks for reaching out to us. Glad there are some canna lovers in Buffalo ;-) . Yes, the shaker table that we use in the video is our own creation. It's called Hercules ;-) . It is made of metal but extremely light. We actually used pipes from a chain link fence that you can buy at Home Depot. So very light and weather resistant. We've been planning on making a video on how to build it but if you're interested to see a little more about it, you can check out the following video where we introduced it: th-cam.com/video/ldzzl3BxSAs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ns0QTaLlRPFg9KV4 . The video is about The Hungry Bin Worm Farm but about 1/2 way into it, I introduce Hercules and show everyone how I use it to sort the worms out from the castings. Check it out, I think you might find it interesting. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @1975Jdonov . Thanks for reaching out to us. We've already topped them a few times and they're still growing. At least we got that "1" good pepper. ;-) Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @JoshCowan-iu7qz . Thanks for reaching out to us. They can be, but it has become a labor of love for us. :-) Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Thank you

Hi @apbernard . Thanks for reaching out. The Walk Maker template was designed as a simple DIY project that needed very little surface prep. The concrete, once poured in the template, forms to the inconsistencies in the ground to give it a flat surface. There is always a chance that if your ground/soil is very soft, that the stones can shift after awhile. For our area, our soil is extremely shale-y. So it's like we're building on a slab of concrete anyway. LOL. That being said, if you went through the trouble of leveling off and creating a better base for the template, your path is going to look THAT much better than everybody elses :-) . Hope this helped. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

The best!

Hi @amylau6708 . Thanks for reaching out to us and thanks for the compliment. Glad you enjoyed the video.

It should be posted in the next week or so. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @1stRoi . Thank you for reaching out to us. Glad you enjoyed the video. Take care of your hostas, you'll have them for many years to come. We've had ours in the same pots for going on 8 years. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Thanks 👍

Hi @sandeeramm3968 . Thanks for reaching out. Well, it's alot of hard work, keeping them trimmed and groomed but it does become a labor of love :-) . But I will say, it's been getting more difficult as we add more cannas to each planter bed. As far stopping the rhizomes from growing into each other, we add dividers in the ground before we plant to stop that from that happening. You can see an example of that in a short video that we made here: th-cam.com/users/shortsxzQVailx1u4?si=4SkE9cUcNmE69Qba. We will be doing our 2024 garden Walk Through video this weekend. So keep an eye out for it in the upcoming week or so. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @MelissaM83, Thanks for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, no. Seeds have to be fully formed (black) to have a chance of being really viable. We wish they would because at the end of the season, right before the frost, we have hundreds of pods that didn't finish forming and we have to throw them all out. 😢 So the best thing is to not disrupt the seed pods until they look like a peanut shell and you see the black seed...and you'll be fine. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching. -Jackie and Dan-

Hi @dougrichardson1980 . Thanks for reaching out to us. I don't see why not. The only thing I can think of that might give you a problem is keeping a consistent depth of the dirt below so that you have a decent layer of the polymeric sand so you won't get cracking. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @Harleyterra93 . Thanks for reaching out to us. Glad you're enjoying the channel. How are things down under? :-) We have over 80 varieties so don't you worry, we're not giving up anytime soon ;-). Be sure to check out some of our other garden Walk Through's. You can see them under the Playlist entitled Garden Walk Through's. And be sure to keep an eye out for our Garden East Walk Through 2024, which is our Canna showcase garden that will be coming out within the next few weeks. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan. P.S. Visiting Australia is on our bucket list. :-)))

Hi @raquellopezfilio8859 . Thanks for reaching out to us. Glad you enjoyed the video. If you're ever looking for seeds, you can check out our Etsy site where we sell seeds and canna plants. You can see the link here: www.etsy.com/shop/JDGardensNJ . Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @goldriderlc . Thanks for reaching out to us. We've been getting alot of rain here lately and it's been knocking the hell out of the rest of the marigolds. We'll have to take stock, once we get a sunny day. Right now, we're getting the remnants of Hurricane Debby. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @LorenzoAscali-np1jv . Thanks for your question. From one Jerseyan to another, we live in Central Jersey. :-) Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @susanmyer1 . Thank you for reaching out to us and thanks for the compliment. Glad you liked the video, it really is a great DIY system. If you liked that video, be sure to check out the original video. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/mQT7HeI-3hE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_moRbzQNBeiLGEo1 . Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @dougpence3862 . Thanks for reaching out to us. Sorry about your bad luck with Toro. Not sure about the electric ones. Can't speak to that. But I will say that for the model in our video, it's been nothing but great for us and I'm not the only one who uses it. My son beats the hell out of it and still have not had one problem. ;-) But I still haven't had a chance to set up the Stow n Go on the wall. But I must say, I am very happy with the machine. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

@zhachelisantiago3785 thanks for reaching out to us. The Company says to use Crack Resistant Concrete Mix, it has Synthetic fibers: These fibers can create a network that helps hold the concrete together if it cracks. But that mix is more expensive so we use standard High-Strength concrete. Have ad it for over 10 years with no problems. Hope that helps, thanks for watching Jackie & Dan

Hi @utubewatcher60 . Thanks for reaching out to us. If you watch the video, you should be fine. Just remember, the seed pod should look like a peanut shell and they should be splitting so you can see the black seeds inside. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @goldriderlc . Ain't that the truth! ;-) J&D

Hi @pattylamb6055 . Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for reaching out to us. Yeah, we get alot. But the air that blows on it, more than cools it down. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @goldriderlc . Thanks for reaching out to us. Believe me, we're trying to propagate that one as much as we can but it definitely won't be available until next year. It's the most delicate one we've ever had. Fire Dragon comes in a close second. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @jeannetterivera8230 . Thanks for the comment and thanks for the compliment. Be sure to check out our other Walk Through videos in our Walk Through playlist. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @brandonallen9853 . Glad you like them! Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

@@jdgardensnj4563 you are welcome! I have always loved the beauty of the tropical cannas!

Hi @greggory448 .Thanks for reaching out to us. Hopefully not :-) . Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @jamespowers650 . Thanks for reaching out to us. We're actually going to be trying to trap some groundhogs this weekend. We'll try the marshmallows and see if we get any raccoons. If we have any success, we'll be sure to call out your handle in a short video. :-) Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

@@jdgardensnj4563 I use a big marshmallow and use a bread twisty or hobby wire to fasten the sugar treat to the bottom of the live trap just forward of the trip plate. That way they cannot just grab and run . They will still consume the marshmallow after being confined. Used this on many coon but not wood chucks.

Hi @goldriderlc . Thanks for reaching out to us. We understand that. We save every pot that comes our way. Sometimes we feel like little ole bag ladies ;-) . Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
