It happens to all of us. I had a team of three individuals, two of my garden club friends and my daughter, who is not a gardener, taking turns watering. Had my vegetable garden hooked up with an overhead sprinkler that went off at night for an hour, game changer. And trays that are a few inches deep with all my topiaries and plants that could not dry out. There was one casualty, and I am very happy there weren't hundreds. Its hard for a gardener to leave her yard, those are her babies. And the hours we spend out there are worth it to us, but we have a hard time leaving all that work to our trusted few. We had our hottest week last week, 90's and a few 100 degree days. Unheard of here in mid-atlantic. And to boot no rain, very unusual. So Leah, I think you are doing great. Linda is lucky to have you, and Stewart!

Now that was hysterical! Linda knowing and they not knowing How! When I go away, (usually no more than 1week) I’m biting my nails hoping my waterer, usually my Hubs, will hand water and not just rely on our irrigation system. As Linda once said, those of us fighting temps 95 and over 100 on a daily Summer basis, it’s hard to over water!

A watering tip for things in pots that are not doing well is to put them in a big bucket of water en let the dirt get really wet. Because if te dirt is dried out, the water is not absorbed en runs out the pot. Linda, has good luck in Europe she is there in the one week we had sun, the rain is back. Leah an Stewart you are a fun team. And Leah and Stewart garding is a learning process, just enjoy the lessons. They happen to all of us.

@Rod-ew9zb 2 күн бұрын

Leah- overwatering a plant is just as harmful as under watering. Rule of thumb- if the soil is damp/moist to the touch, it doesn't need more water. In the summer, some plants need to be checked more than once a day depending on the container type and plant moisture need (myrtle topiaries are very high maintenance when it's hot). Otherwise, you're getting the hang of it. I would be grateful to have someone like you to babysit my plants when I'm away. A good plant sitter is as hard to find as a reliable baby sitter.

@laurelcomeaux4723 2 күн бұрын

Leah, if possible, you may want to put a tray under that basket planter; it is shallow, and it will need much water. The other alternative is to put it in a shadier location.

I completely agree - irrigate at roots via a zoned drip irrigation system is efficient and effective- it is well worth the time, effort, investment But if you are thinking of starting a new garden in an area that gets increasingly hot and dry in the summer I would consider leaning on plants in your design that can take a dry spell..

Bunny Guinness uses bottomless pots (pots with bottoms removed) so that larger plants/trees/boxeoods can establish their roots in the soil and reduces watering needs after they are established. I might try that.

Leah, watering someone elses garden is a very hard job. It took Linda a long time to know just how much water a plant needs. Potted plants, the smaller the pot, the faster it dries up.

🌿💗 I've lost two struggling plants this week (one of five of my sibella carmine from seed) and an erinus alpinus from the nursery and I'm managing the disappointment well. However, the one I nursed from seed stings a bit. My only solace is that it did start struggling before I put it in the ground and I still don't know if it was overwatered or underwatered. By the way, this was a great installment team. 💗🌿

Leah actually knowledge comes with age and you will learn that as you become more involved (if you do) in the gardening experience. That concrete basket in front that you are drenching...do you know if it has drainage? You may be OVER watering. If those are begonias in the back that you are watering that are all soggy, it is possible to overwater begonias because the stems are full of water

@jondebbiegraff6492 Күн бұрын

Yes agreed. My first thought on the veronica in the back may be over watering. Put your finger down into the soil, if it feels damp, skip watering. Be go I as can handle that. Great job Leah and Stewart!

I fear I may be losing one of my regal geraniums due to overwatering….according to the ‘Picture This’ app. The app said frequency isn’t an issue, it’s the amount of water I’m using each watering. It’s been really difficult to reduce watering in the hot and humid south (NC).

Thanks for showing us how you water. I garden in the Southwest Desert (Las Vegas NV Zone 9a) and must water EVERYDAY. I have many plants that get crispy edges, but I just wait until the fall to clean them up because if I clean them up during the scorching sun, they will just get burned again. My Eugenia Topiaries are moved into part shade so they don’t get burned up. Just wondering… what is the green (spray paint like) areas on the side of your house on the ground near the bench (see them at 11:03 in the video)?

I have a question regarding the watering it was very helpful To know of the different watering regime but how do you determine? Which one needs what I am in a situation right now? Where I'm having to save for a watering system and I am liking both the drip irrigation as well as the sprinkler system and hand watering. As well but I'm having a hard time knowing which areas or zones need. What.and i'm not sure whether a installation group would know.

I just hope I never see a video where you have fallen down that sloped edge to the street. Game changer!!!!! Maybe someday a black iron railing for safety sake .I am a shade girl , so the back is where I would spend my time. It looks so pretty now , woth all the hard scape among the plants. I was wondering if Leah cuts off the top of the dead pot on the social patio... and keeps it watered... if there are roots still alive under the soil. Something I would try. I never give up at first.
