Hey friend! Congrats to everything you're doing. It's such an amazing work! Your videos are of so much help to us. 🤗 I'm having some problems with my Nasturtium. They're home to some green caterpillars. Do you have any advice? How can I get rid of them? Thanks so much and thank you for everything you're doing. 😁
Hello! Thank you so much for the support, I really appreciate it! I’d recommend to use nasturtium as sacrificial plants so if they are full of pests it’s a good sign so your other plants won’t get affected :)
That’s awesome, I’m happy you are getting better watching my videos! Yes, I have many kind of houseplants and I should give away some as they are too many haha
Thank you for the video. I will purchase seeds from all of them. ☺️ What plants work good in moist areas? I’m thinking of having one plant in the bathroom. ☺️
I usually but the larvae. In my opinion, they seem to get better established if they evolve from larvae to pupa and ladybird in the garden. Some people claim to release adult ladybird and they fly away but if there’s enough food and places where they can overwinter, you’ll have plenty each season :)
There is one special French Lavender that grows in the south of Provence that can survive in central Florida--specialty videos on TH-cam about it v. English lavenders...and there is always lilac. *Not to be a downer in marigolds which are two foot tall all over my garden, but one hugely important caveat, that I am in the middle if now in Spring, but unbothered because my vegs. this year, because I didn't plant ANY brassicas: White canbGe moths love Marigolds, place is teeming with them, so I looked it up. I plant all the other flowers you mentioned as always...If you have cabbage, broccoli, spinach, and more, they will eat the leaves. Lay eggs and caterpillars kill them. Never companion plant marigolds anywhere in your yard, if you are growing (sib, I love those Mari's so prolific, returning, and easy).
I noticed all the aphids suddenly vanished from my roses and veggies... Turns out they all moved to the copious calendula that volunteered this year. It’s the most effective trap plant I’ve used so far!
I just love your way of life, saving the earth for the next generations.
Thanks for the brilliant advice. So easy to save seeds for next year from marigolds, sunflowers and nasturtiums. 💚
Exactly! Since I planted them the first time, I never bought seeds again :)
Love the knowledge that you are passing on, please keep up the great work

Thank you for sharing, I didn’t know this fact about mosquitos in Canada :)
What I needed! Thanks❤
I consider nasturtium as a staple in my garden - it's delicious, no fuss and looks great!
Absolutely! Since I planted it the first time I was so impressed with the many benefits that I plant it almost in every corner of the garden :)
It's definitely spicy though!

I'm having some problems with my Nasturtium. They're home to some green caterpillars. Do you have any advice? How can I get rid of them?

out of interest: what else were you growing? were you growing a lot of brassica family vegetables?
How do you get your cabbage looking so strong and healthy 😊
Thank you for the videos your helping me become a more knowledgeable gardener 🌻🪴🪰 Do you grow house plants?
That’s awesome, I’m happy you are getting better watching my videos! Yes, I have many kind of houseplants and I should give away some as they are too many haha
Thank you for the video. I will purchase seeds from all of them. ☺️
What plants work good in moist areas? I’m thinking of having one plant in the bathroom. ☺️
I love your videos and IG posts!!
Do you sell tshirts with your logo?
Do you grow grass as well? 😄
Can I ask you about the ladybirds? Should I buy the larvae or the actual ladybirds? Not sure which is best. Thank you.
I usually but the larvae. In my opinion, they seem to get better established if they evolve from larvae to pupa and ladybird in the garden. Some people claim to release adult ladybird and they fly away but if there’s enough food and places where they can overwinter, you’ll have plenty each season :)
@@SpicyMoustache Thanks for taking the time to reply, I'll get the larvae. 👍
@@georgemaxwell4984 no worries mate, any time :)
Can you get marigold and simply have them in pots next to tomatoes and they still work to control pests?
Yes, they will attract predatory insects and repel some kind of pests and no, you won’t have the symbiotic effect of the roots
@@SpicyMoustache thank you
I love lavender (so much so, I have it tattooed) but unfortunately it doesn't grow well in Florida 😭
That’s awesome! Is that because of the weather? I’m sure there are ways to grow it anyway
@@SpicyMoustache I think it might be too humid here. I'll definitely give it another shot!

Please come help me do mine. I keep planning, changing, planning and changing in a very small space :(

Can we see how your front garden is doing when you have time?
That’s a great idea! I’ll make a video all about it as I want to inspire more people to transform their lawn into vegetable garden :)
