I commented on Janey’s channel, “Dig, Plant, Water, Repeat” . She just got some barn cats to help with a rodent population. I don’t encourage more birds to come to my yard with water fountains etc. as I already have enough mature trees for them to nest. The neighbours cats do not wear bells on their collars in our urban area, and I dread every spring when I find baby birds clawed in my yard.😢

We have a koppert lab in our town, here in ontario, Canada. We live in a town that has always had the most greenhouse production/growers, and so the farmers use these for their crops. When people approach our town from far away even, they think they are seeing the northern lights, the sky glows purple and pink from led greenhouse lights. Lol I have been using those hanging tags for a long time. Actually, when ever you buy any hanging baskets or pots with flowers from nurseries here, they already come with the hanging tags. They work fantastic.

Lol When you went out to plant, when it was overcast after the rain, wow, you can really see all the beauty and colour throughout your property on camera, with the cloudy skys. So pretty!

Love this … for you and your kids! The way you include them and educate them is perfection!

So glad to see you entering your RED PHASE! hehe! The hummingbirds will really appreciate that!

I think the RED garden is going to be amazing. Can't wait for it to fill in.

FYI: You can put the baby bird back in the nest. It's not true that the Mom/Dad will reject then due to being touched by a human. We have had to do that numerous times! Just make sure you are wearing a big hat, a rain coat that can go into the washer, gloves b/c you will get poop bombed while you are doing this. My hubs and I learned this the first time we had to do that for Robins.

I’m glad you’re teaching everyone about using beneficial insects. It’s a growing enterprise and I hope your influence helps spread their use from home gardeners to commercial agriculture. PS: I wouldn’t find it distracting in the slightest if you wore sunglasses outside. Cataracts come from cumulative sun damage. Ask me how I know.

I was about to yell "Laura! Look behind you! Cat!!!" Thank God Laura can read our minds and immediately put up that notice. lol.

The humming bird that was flying in a wide u shape (that grazed your face) was a male trying to "impress" a female to mate with him. They are so cute and funny, what a wonderful place to for them live in your bountiful yard!

The hydrangeas are gorgeous!

I always plant a red annual in my garden in memory of my dad who past away a few years ago. That was his favourite colour and honestly how can you go wrong with Mother Nature. If it’s by a plant that’s yellow or blue or whatever colour it’s all good. It’s still beautiful no matter what.

We use the packets for our house plants. I will never be without them again! I was able to control a thrip/spider mite infestation without chemical sprays. I love them. Thank you for the reminder, I need to order my next batch of the packets.

The sound of the rain hitting the high tunnel was some of the best ASMR this morning! How long did the rain last before you were able to come out of the tunnel?

Birds are fledging now (last week of June - first week of July.) It's best to keep of your your pets indoors at this time while the babies learn to fly. Also that big swinging movement hummingbirds make is a mating dance to impress the ladies and they'll do it throughout the mating season, so there was probably a girl nearby.. And interestingly, bees don't 'see' red, although they do see orange & yellow, so it'll be interesting to see how many visit your red flowers.

Laura, I am so proud of you for using red in the garden !not only do hummingbirds love it , but butterflies , especially Monarchs love it as well ! ❤

The hummingbird doing the arc flying was a courting ritual! That was probably why it brushed up next to your face. Other things on its mind.....another great video.

I think it's kind of cool that you went from starting a big club in school to starting on the path to getting thousands of people a new found interest in bugs

Laura, you did some a beautiful job placing the flowers in that bed! I can't wait to see them in three weeks time! 😊

So glad you're planting red in the garden, it's one of my favorite colors to add a little pop here and there through out the my garden. Love mixing it with yellow!!

I’m so glad you’re trying beneficial insects instead of spraying. 💚🐝🦋

I love how you understand the importance of not trying to CONTROL AND MANIPULATE nature Laura !!! You were taught well !!! Also, Benjamin and Samantha were so adorable. Benjamin is SO SWEET and he wants to understand....pondering what you are telling him and patient to listen. GREAT MOM AND DAD SKILLS AT WORK !!! 💥🙌💥 LOVED THE RAIN SEGMENT. As for the RED, I have a feeling you will become a fan of red in the near future. Your property is so huge, I'm sure there is a perfect place where red will fulfill a purpose aesthetically and practically (for the hummingbirds). In fact, I think that hummingbird buzzing close to your head was them thanking you "in advance" 🥰🤩.💕💕💕

So much fun watching Benjamin helping with the beneficial bugs! I purposely watch your videos of the garden to see what plants are covered in bees. I have been a beekeeper for 10 years now and always looking to plant more flowers just for the bees.

Love that new dahlia! This will be really pretty! Love your umbrella Samantha!

You have just encouraged us that it's sometimes okay to step out of our comfort zone. Red is just beautiful in your garden. You've been missing out. Lol ❤

I am really excited about the white salvia. Looking forward to watching how it does in your garden.

I just love a quick summer rain & thunder storm but we don’t get them like that here north of Seattle. I call it “East Coast Rain” as I grew up in PA. My husband laughs but we were visiting SC and one came through and after 20 years together he finally got my reference. Thanks for sharing the storm in the video.

Sometimes when my grandfather would fill the hummingbird feeders by his ranch house in NW Colorado they would fly around his head and even land on his shoulders.

Red and purple look great together too!

Glad to see your using red in your garden, I have it in mine and I love it.❤

That dive-bombing arc you saw was the hummingbird’s mating dance.

I loooove warm tones (peach, yellow, orange, pink, red) so I'm really excited to see this new area you've planted! I know your normal cool colors are very soothing, but I think the warm tones just bring that big hit of dopamine, personally. Excited to see it fill in!

I love how you take care of nature in your garden. I never heard of releasing beneficial bugs into your garden That's a great idea

WHAT RED LOL! that's going to be a beautiful mix Laura! Can't wait to try some of the new 2025 additions to P&W.

It's awesome to see you growing salvia and cuphea. I grow many varieties of salvia and cupea for my hummingbirds. I only have containers, small area, but still so many plants. Flowers by the Sea closed last year. They carried so many of the varieties I grew. I would like to see PV grow more varieties! Did you ever get your tooth fixed from last year? The white salvia is what I called mealy cup sage, which I grow from seed yearly. The orange/red cuphea is called Bat faced Cuphea in other grower's names.

Koppert are great! I bought some mites for my houseplant collection last year and I believe I still have some around! They love humidity and temps around 70. It’s perfect that it rained after putting them I think. Hopefully Koppert has made the packets coated with plastic by now, because the ones I had were paper I believe… not ideal, especially for outdoors.

I love the warmer annuals! They have a happy look!

Benjamin!!! Such a good boy!!! Love him ❤️

Interesting how the website says not to use Swirski mite on tomatoes. Wonder why. I released lacewing eggs in my tunnel this year and it definitely seemed to help. 💚 For anyone buying ladybugs, please check where they come from. Many are wild harvested, vacuumed from their home in the CA foothills, not only disrupting the sustainability of that population, but can introduce disease to your native ladybugs. Insectary is the way to go. Not Amazon. 🐞💚
