Thank you so much ☺️

Thank you ! I love it when people notice these little things 🥹

It was such a pleasant surprise 🥹

lol wow 😂😂 and here I was with my sweater and underneath my duvet shivering 🥶 😂

😂😂😂 the switch was epic

@@TheMillennialPlantDad ... and iconic! ❤😅

I knew it would be mosquito larvae. Mosquitoes are terrible here in the US south.

I’ve just cracked up myself. Read your comment before the music changed.

Thank you so much ☺️

Omg the fact that you’re watching this all the way in Alaska is truly truly mind blowing! Plants really unify us across oceans and continents!! Thanks for watching

lol thank you . The Jesus sound effect is truly iconic 😂😂😂

Thank you so much ☺️

Thank you so so much ! I’m glad I bring back fond memories from your childhood. 🥹

Thank you for watching till the very end! I absolutely love the rain storms too as do my plants. 🪴

Omg thank you for watching and the amazing tips !!!

Well that’s where the barbed wires , high fences and gates come in . No one can just get into your premises without your authorization

Oh dear . Thank you . I’ll see how these fair, when these sprout I’ll move them asap to a deeper nursery pot . Thank you ☺️

I use/repurpose plastic drink cups. Punch a few holes in the bottom for drainage. Tomatoes can be thirsty little guys, avoid watering the leaves. Loved this video​@@TheMillennialPlantDad

​@@NancyRipperda I don't really get why people say don't water tomato leaves. I water the leaves when watering my tomato plants, and my tomatoes are doing great! Great leaf colors and great fruiting. I'm having a bumper crop of tomatoes this year, in fact.

@@gardensteps I get yellow spots on my leaves even from rainfall. We have really hard water, so i don't know. I water from the bottom.

Oh wow !! Thank you for watching all the way from your beautiful island and thanks for the lovely comment

aww thank you so so much for such a lovely comment

Thank you so much for the lovely comment and I totally agree with you about the Ficus

😂😂 I’ve even seen bigger ones. They are the such a menace in my garden. Thanks for watching and commenting 💚

That's what I do. It fill the bucket and leave it for a few hours. It is always finished when I come back. It needs a lot of water though.

Thank you so so much . I’m lowkey terrified of pruners . Especially the big ones . I find them so intimidating lol . I just got some more crown of thorns varieties. Can’t wait to show you all 🥰

As do I ! 💚☺️

Also regarding the tomatoes. Tomatoes are one of the easiest garden plants to grow for me, for some reason. Like some of the people have mentioned, that container you chose for germination is probably too shallow. You need something with more depth. Also, I may be wrong here. The seeds you are buying in Nigeria may no longer be viable, depending on how old they are. You don't even need to buy tomato seeds. I never do. I plant the seeds from whole tomatoes I use in cooking. I just get the seeds and spread them just below the surface of the soil in my chosen container. In fact, I start my tomatoes indoors in the winter by just germinating them in my house plants, then transfer them outside once the temp is warm enough. Germinating them in my house plants soil keep them small until I need to move them outdoors in late Spring, early Summer. I am in zone 6b. I have a profusion of fruiting tomato plants from the seeds germinated indoors in the winter. It's a bumper crop year of tomatoes for me. Also, always plant marigolds with you tomatoes as a companion plant. Tomato worms will not be a problem. They hate the smell of marigolds.

Thank you ! Urgh it’s a constant battle with I and those grasshoppers omg

💚💚💚

Once the weight on the soil gets on the straw and leaves, it will compact it down for you, and typically I've had plenty of soil even filling it pretty full of leaves. They are so very hungry, so the nitrogen really helps get those vines up. Getting enough calcium can be a problem for them, but as long as you water them pretty thoroughly when they are big enough to flower they tend to avoid the blossom end rot, but if you are worried, you can crush eggshells until they're powder, and put them in your soil when you're filling it, and that does take a lot of the worry away.

Thank you so much !!

Thank you . I was abit self conscious of it before uploading, but now thanks to comments like these I’m not so much . Thanks for watching all the way and yeah tomatoes are definitely not the easiest omg

Absolutly. The rich, the middle class and the poor in the US use fences and gates to keep people out. Entire neighborhoods are fenced in sometimes. Bad people ruin things everywhere sadly. I wish we didn't need fences to keep people out.

They do call them gated estates/communities too in Nigeria. But he was referring to the coiled barbed wires on top of the fence, I think.

​​@@TheMillennialPlantDadNothing to be self conscious about Ebuka. Fencing is necessary sometimes, even in the West. Do you live in Lagos or in the East?

Omg let me go google that . Thank you

Awww and thank you so much for watching

Thank you . I certainly have stored a lot of rain water. I don’t even have anywhere else to store more again . It’s a shame so much of it goes to waste

Thank you ☺️. Definitely not random. I love to pat my well behaved plant girlies ☺️

Thank you so so much 🥰

Thank you ! I’ll be doing them twice month 😊

🥰🥰

😂😂😂

Thank you , it certainly was . It’s skewered meat. Mixed with some local spices. It’s so delicious but spicy 🥵. Thanks for watching till the very end!

lol I won’t ! Oh I share that much in detail in my rubber plant care video and how to air layer . It’s linked in my description 😊

​@@TheMillennialPlantDad Thank you my friend 🙏🏿

Yeah so you just have to be on the look out for them and act fast ☺️

Nigeria is a tropical country, with year heat. They do have the miserably dry harmattan season that can be relatively cool. And then the rainy season can be cool as well. But cool to them is shorts/t-shirt warm weather in the colder regions of the world.

Thank you . Well I water when they dry . Remember they are growing outdoors and during the dry season it gets extremely sunny here so they dry out quite fast and sometimes I even water daily . However during the rainy season I don’t water as much. But I don’t ever leave them to stay dry for too long

Thank you 🙏

Neem oil easily works against them. These were absolutely fried the following day

@@TheMillennialPlantDad Alafia ! I’m going to grab some! Assume that I just mix it with water . 💦

​@@tamimargolin1559 Haha.... "Alafia"

@@gardensteps wait …. What are you laughing 😆 at . I thought I did good with my Language 😉 I have a few other words in my collection. Modupe ( probably spelled wrong)

@@TheMillennialPlantDad do I mix it with water plant, daddy

Yup I have . It can be slow growing especially when younger but once the roots are fully established they start growing more often. Definitely try to give it more light and fertilize some more

😂😂😂😂 I’m glad I could represent my people

​@@TheMillennialPlantDad Represent your people you did!!! Heh heh!!! Hehn! Oti oooo!! Biko!!!

I know right. Plants really teach us to let go and aim for the future sometimes. I’m looking forward to how bushy it would get

Aww thank you so much for such a sweet comment ! I hope you have a fabulous week ahead 💚

Aww thank you for your lovely comment lol @ your mum !! Looking forward to you ordering 🥰🥰

@@TheMillennialPlantDadalsooo I’ll follow you IG maybe reach out see if we can bring you a little care package from London, seeds maybe or cuttings and shakara our way through customs with it 😂😂🤭🤭

@dulcieo6250 😂😂😂 yaay
