if it's easy to pull out, it's one of your desirable plants and if it's hard to pull out it's probably a weed. Great life advice too! 😉

Hi Moniquebaby36, here in Santa Rosa CA we have several choices for suppliers of compost. Do you live here? If yes, I buy compost in bulk from Dryscape and Sequoia. If it was not so popular and sold out so often, my first choice would be Mango Mulch (no mangoes in it) from GrabnGrow. I have noticed that most bagged "compost" is not compost but small bark (sadly). -mary

Hi Mary, the pruning that you suggested worked very well thank you! My fuchsias were really beautiful - full and plump. But the bushes grew very tall. Is there a way to prune them that can encourage them to grow wider rather than so tall?
@TheGardeningTutor Ай бұрын
Pinching early and often would help with the size, making them fuller and shorter. Thank you for letting me know how your pruning went! Sometimes my fuchsias get taller then I'd like even with early pinching and I just shorten the tall stems here and there and the plant still looks great. This may sacrifice a few flowers but I don't notice it lacking blooms. Avoid cutting too far down an already tall stem though because you might not get any blooms to form. Go easy at first until you see how your fuchsia reacts. -mary

To make the plug go in more easily, heat up a cup of water in the microwave and pour the hot water slowly over the main line where the plug is to be inserted. This will soften the area and the plug will go in easily.
@TheGardeningTutor 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for sharing trishvanriper1977. This is true but be careful because if it's made too mushy with the hot water the plug could easily wobble going in and making a bigger hole that could leak. I do use hot water from my thermos for attaching all the tubing and mainlines though. -mary

For the first time I planted pansies in the fall in zone 7b and it’s almost May and are just now getting leggy. I planted all mine in either fabric grow bags or wicker resin 8” tall baskets. I’m going to set them aside after trimming to see if they’ll come back in the fall. Would you place them in a sunny or shady area until then? To have 6-7 mos of flowers is amazing and had color all winter in the mid-Atlantic region. I found 8pks at Lowe’s clearance for $1. Now that’s worth it. Ty for sharing.

Great video and very useful information - thanks for posting. Before watching this, I always felt guilty trying to keep my phormium at a more manageable size than it wanted to grow, but now I don’t feel so bad. I’ve learned (the hard way) to prune down close to the base just as you show, and then wait before removing the rest of the leaf. These are really tough plants, and trying to pull off a leaf usually results in pulling up an entire section of the plant instead. Even the dead leaves don’t always come off without a fight. And just as you said, the pruners need to be really sharp. There is not a more difficult and frustrating job in gardening than trying to prune a phormium with dull blades…
@TheGardeningTutor 5 ай бұрын
Hi R C, I agree, Phormiums are tough. And you're right about not feeling guilty now. I still have this old phormium and it's only 3 feet or so tall with a slender bottom. My friend who bought the same phormium at the same time butchered his after letting it grow as it wanted to for a few years. Then he had to take it out because, as you know, the form was never coming back. It's so nice to talk with you. Thank you for watching!

This was very helpful. My red rocket barberries are only 2 years old and have very thin branches much smaller than a pencils width with very dense growth with the beaches very close together.. Can I cut them down to the ground as you demonstrated? And what time is best? Before or after last frost date? Thank you for your help.
@TheGardeningTutor 5 ай бұрын
Hi Donna, I'm glad you asked because not all Berberis respond well to hard pruning all their stems. But 'Red Rocket' is a thunberii like the 'Atropurpurea' in the video. I prune mine in February before we are out of frost season and it sits there until it knows when to push new growth. With 'Red Rocket' though (since I have not worked with this one) I would only prune down half of the stems this year and see how it responds. Plus, I do not have to do a hard pruning of every stem every year. I only need to do that to keep mine smaller. You will get nice, new stems that have beautiful color from the hard pruned stems. Also, each year you can just pick a few (maybe one in 4) of the old stems and cut them out. Feel free to ask me if this wasn't a clear description. Thank you for watching! -mary

I wish I watched your video much earlier ! I have many hydrangeas and have watched many videos how to prune them. Your video is definitely the best ! None of the videos I watched mentioned about not letting the trunk form at the base of the hydrangea. When I looked at two of my oldest ones (almost 20 years old), they have huge trunks 😂 What can I do to fix the problem ? I noticed all the new growth were coming from the trunks, not from the soil any more 😂 Thank you !

Hi ashanti, That snail in the video was a real photo bomb wasn't it? There are two options for you that I use one is Sluggo Plus which is a bait for snails, slugs, earwigs, cutworms etc. The other is a new spray I've been using with great success just for snails and slugs, it's called All Natural Snail and Slug spray by Monterey. It is a killer and a repellent. Not to worry that the spray liquid is brown, it does not discolor leaves when sprayed on them. I spray the ground around my plants and the plants too. Let us know how it goes! -mary

@TheGardeningTutor Жыл бұрын
I'm sorry Brookeerdman. You could pour some boiling hot water on the mailine to see if this helps but not too so much water that you make the mainline mushy. the other think I do sometimes is use channel locks to hold the mainline so it does not collapse while I'm pushing the plug in. When i use channel locks I put cloth between the locks jaws and the mainline so they do not damage the mainline. Your other option is to cut the line to remove the hole and use a mainline sized connector to put the line back together. I wish I was there with you to help. Make sure you put a brick or rock behind the mainline where you're pushing the plug in so that there is resistence. -mary

Hi Mary, I’m new to gardening and have recently moved into a property with many fuchsias snd was wondering how to prune them. Your video is excellent, thank you Mary. The fuchsias in this garden haven’t been pruned for a long time so they have thick woody stems so I’m assuming I just cut them right back to the 6 inches you suggest and hopefully they’ll flourish. Is that correct Mary? Regards, Kathryn in Australia.
@TheGardeningTutor Жыл бұрын
Hellooo Kathryn in Australia!.Welcome to Gardening! How magical is this that we can write to each other, ha. You are in deep winter now in Australia, right? You'll need to be careful about pruning super old stems down as far as I pruned my younger stemmed fuchsias in the video (my plants are old but have been pruned hard every year so all have new stems from close to the ground) because the really old stems may not produce new growth. You could experiment by pruning a few on each plant first. If it's not winter there and your fuchsias have already pushed growth it's not the best time to prune hard anyway. You could still experiment with pruning just a few hard though to see what happens. Also, if each fuchsia has lots of crossing stems or dead stems you can prune those out to clean up the whole appearance of the plant. If they have pushed growth, you could prune down to the closest to the ground new stem. I hope that makes sense. I wish I was there to work with you. Let me know if you need more clarification. Please, let me know what the season is there and if they have already pushed new growth. -mary

Dear Mary, thanks for your helpful reply. Yes it is the middle of winter here. My fuchsias have definitely finished their growth and so I think they’re ready to be pruned.
