Love the Q&A session and viewers tips format. This works better because everyone can benefit from your answers, not just the person who comments. Hope we see more of Michael, Megan and your agronomist neighbor! Gardening friends are the best. 😊 Wouldn’t it be fun if you did “a day in the garden” with one of them?

Hi! I’m pretty sure the “Chelsea Chop” is a method of preventing a plant that typically splays out, from doing so. You chop a plant like aster or sedum by a certain amount (I usually do by a third) BEFORE it blooms so that it will create a bushier, more sturdy plant. The timing of doing so is historically around the time of the Chelsea Garden Show, hence the name. 😉

Laura of Garden Answers had planted calendula near her tomatoes one year and the aphids were attracted to it and left the vegetables alone. It's worth a shot.

Nasturtiums are another "trap crop". Aphids go to that plant and leave others alone.

So do marigolds and sunflowers

I always have black aphids on my rose of sharon and my virburnum (except this year 😅) and I never treat them. They go away eventually and my plants are doing fine. It doesn´t look very nice as long as they are there but I live with it. Other than that you can spray them with a nettle mixture. Take nettles and pour boiling water over them. Let it cool down and spray the plant with it. My mom has great results and it also strenghtens your plants. Hugs from Germany 💚🐛💚

I like this format😊! Thx .

Loved the video. So much information. One thing I do have to comment on is that if you don't have drip watering system then I would not water from over head. I don't have a drip system for watering one way I found to not get the mounding type of plants to divide in the middle is to water the plants from the bottom. That way the plants stay compact and tight.

THANK YOU JENNY AS ALWAYS GORGEOUS AS EVER FOR SHARING

I love your tip of putting ice on your peonies once a week for 6 weeks in winter!

Thanks Janey, this was a great video loved it.

This format is great! I live in Zone 9b also, in Sonoma County, and loved your tips on peonies. I think sharing viewers tips is absolutely genius!!

A great idea to have a monthly Q & A. I really enjoyed the questions and the answers today. The tips from all of the viewers is just awesome. I try to read as many comments as I can and I don't always get through all of them; so having this video is a wonderful educational tool to have. And very original. I don't think any other channels do this...bravo! ❤

Fantastic...learned so much

U can have ur videos as long as u like. Love these types. And love the ones where u have been shopping and am planting. I don’t have anyone to do this with. So it’s nice to see others doing it

Love this!!!!!!!!!

I caught myself laughing at you, Janey! I'm in zone 5b like, "Who the heck would take so much time and effort to get peonies to grow?!" Here, we just mow them off in the late autumn and they pop up the next spring. Then, I remembered that I had to put a greenhouse over a raised bed in March so that I could grow ranunculus at home. So yeah, I get it! Thanks for sharing your know-how!

This was so helpful, Janey, I love that you're doing this. And I am so going to read everyone else's comments from now on. Brilliant followers!

My mom grew peonies in zone 10a using the ice method. Back in the early to mid 1950's we got daily milk deliveries and the driver would share the ice chunks from his truck (before refrigerated trucks). She used the ice on her peonies and Oregon bred rhododendron. It worked like a charm.

I have been growing peonies here in hot Contra Costa County for 20 years no problems what so ever. Love them more than my roses,🌹Carmen

I love this so much!! Great Job! Gardening in zone 9a is just a little more challenging, I think. What I struggle with is finding a small flowering shrub 3 x 3 that fits next to a front door(so it needs to look nice year around)with 6 hrs of morning sun per day. I mention this in case you need ideas for a video. I like a lot of different types but many don't look great for the scrutiny they will receive so close to the front door. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thank you very much! Great answer about piones. ❤. I am from Houston, TX. Zone 9b. Will try "ice recipe " this year. Thank you.

Hi! Very nice Q&A! I absolutly love the viewer tips at the end, sharing those tips really level up your gardening community😊 I have a question for honeysuckle (yes honeysuckle again) I'm planning on planting honeysuckle to my chain fence, but hesitate because of the 'woody' growth getting to big and destroying the fence? Do You think the Woody stems would get so big that they would be able to 'destroy' a fence (honeysuckle or any other Big climber) ? Have a nice day😊

I love this new series that you’re starting! We can always learn so much from each other!

Thanks so much for the information on the peonies. I’m in 10b and haven’t been able to get my peony to rebloom. Peonies are my favorite flowers and I’d love to be able to grow them.

hi Janey I got inspired by your diamond trellis which I successfully made in my side yard with jasmine, love love love it, ❤❤❤then you and Robbie inspired me to paint my fence black, how did you do it behind the trellis? i don’t want to ruin the plant and it’s started to flower now

I have a smokebush (3 -4 years old). It is only leafing out at top half. Is it a pruning issue? love your channel! I am in zone 6… Northern Ohio

Great video Janey. Definitely use the no mess bird seed. It is pricey for certain, but even the less expensive seed is not cheap. More bang for your buck and you will not get the millet (ugh) growing in your garden as well as other unwelcomed plants.

I have a question.. I recently bought my first lantanas, I have found an absolute love for lantana and want to treat it right. I have 2 in pots. I’ve noticed every time I move the pot even if it’s a slight turn, a ton of flowers fall off. How long do the flower’s usually stay once they bloom? I feel like I’m just losing a TON of blooms way too fast! I’ve read too much/little fertilizer but wanted your input. Thank you Janey.

Although this is a standard pruning method, the name 'Chelsea Chop' originated in England. It comes from the Chelsea Flower Show, which coincides when a gardener should prune their perennials in England's climate.

Loving your channel! I have a non gardening question. Please tell me where you got your white eyelet top you have on! 😂❤

I’m in Chico, same exact weather as you. I have over 10 peonies for the last 20 years. I have never put ice on mine. They always bloom beautifully. Try an experiment. Don’t put ice one one and I’ll bet it will be fine in blooming the following spring. I hesitate to tell a master gardener anything, but I think the ice thing is incorrect. 👍❤️

Hi Janey. Loved this video. I actually have a question now after this video. I have 2 GIANT full grown crape myrtles in my backyard along with 7 50+ foot redwood kind of trees. How do you keep the aphids off of your crape myrtle trees. I have tried to spray them with water but with how tall they are I can't reach the top. I need a firehose..lol. It was beautiful 2 weeks ago and now full of aphids and the leaves are all shiny and sticky. This happens every year unfortunately. 😔

@DigPlantWaterRepeat

Hi Amber, those are Crepe Myrtle Aphids. Two options: you can put a sticky tape around the bottom of the tree called "Tangle Foot" which keeps the ants away from the aphids (ants protect aphids from predators.) This is obviously the less harmful method. Otherwise there is a spray/pesticide that an arborist can help you with. The arborist will put it around the base of the tree which systemically helps the aphids. Please research both options to see which one is better for you and your situation! Hope that helps!

Awesome! Thank you so much. It's been a oonstant problem and was thinking about ripping them out. LOL I will definitely try the tanglefoot first and if that doesn't help I will reach out to an arborist. ❤
