I made a couple of knee high enclosures out of scrap wood. The tops have removable wood frames with plastic netting. Smaller pots go in them. Larger pots are grouped next to the enclosures and are themselves shielded by 10 gallon grow bags filled with wood chips. This arrangement is placed next to the hose bib. I am not happy about the afternoon sun that this set up gets, but the enclosures at least can be easily covered with burlap.
15 minute “Five Minute Fridays” are my favorites!
Happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend!
Thank you😊. You too!
Hello, everyone gardeners friends 🧡. Happy holidays!!!!!😅😅😅.thank you, Mr Jim putnam and Stephany. Injoi the plants in the pots 😅, yeeeeere.❤❤❤
I use unopened bags of mulch placed around the planters. Then in the Spring, I use the mulch for my landscape beds. It works great. I did a video about this on my channel Outdoors 460.
Thank you so much Jim, enjoy your weekend
"We're not in Kansas anymore"-- Enjoy your travels and love the backdrops you are sharing. :)
Very useful information! Always forget or surprise to hear water is an insulator.
Thank you Jim Putnam! I was distracted by your background, it appears you are out west, but advice on wintering containers was right on time.
Thank you. Very timely for me today. 😀
Jim, thank you for this timely video. You might consider taking pictures of the backgrounds that you’ve traveled to and put them as the screensavers behind you when you do your presentations..
They also make double walled planters. Great information!
Fifteen Minute Friday!
I love it!
Thank you for the good information:)
I like to think of the containers huddled together like penguins.
Thank you Jim, I had some new (this year) Limelight Prime Hydrangeas and was wondering how to manage them in containers.
Great information thank you❤❤
I cleared a lot of Himalayan blackberries this summer and fall and will definitely have to do it several more times in the spring and early summer before I feel remotely safe planting in the worst areas because they are noxious here and I have been fighting them a long time. So all the plants I bought in the fall sales and have nowhere to plant yet, I bunched up on the north side of my house. What I did differently, though, is a went ahead and bought a lot of bags of potting soil that I will need in the spring and then used those to build up walls around my plants about 4 bags deep. I am hoping that will add extra insulation for them. A few large pots I will have to bring in the garage (lemon, hedychium, and colocasias) but I am crossing my fingers that my large pots of melianthus and cannas (both zone 7) will survive due to being bunched together and surrounded by potting soil. I also bought some wrap that I will put around them. Finally, my potted brugmansia has made it more than 5 winters already by being moved to a corner where it’s backed up on 2 sides against the house, so with the extra wrap, I am cautiously optimistic it will be fine. Just all depends on how the winter goes. I had 2 identical crape myrtles, in identical pots, sitting side by side, and they had made it through many winters, but one of them didn’t make it through last winter although the one right next to it did. So you just are always gambling with them. For what it’s worth, theoretically I am now in zone 8b, but I am in the Pacific Northwest and we got down to about 20 degrees for several days last winter so it’s not like the zone 8b I grew up in in northwest Florida.
A well-placed string of incandescent lights will buy a few degrees.
Something I have never heard mentioned is to group the plants near the house and to use bags of leaves piled against the containers.
That’s what I do 👍
What is the watering schedule for tropicals that you overwinter inside your house? I've got to bring my mandevilla and angelonia inside.
No real schedule, it's an individual thing. Indoor air can be dry in the winter but plants are using less water. It's easy to overwater them in my experience.
How about florabunda roses, how to prune for winter protection
Don’t prune them until very late winter or early spring.
What does 5min Friday stand for? Your video isn’t 5 mins and I’m trying to find a connection. When will you start filming from the new site at the nursery space you are transforming? Love your travel videos.
They are shorter than normal, even if not 5 minutes (just like he said at the end) and they are on Fridays. Plus the alliteration probably contributed to the name.
Not me counting the minutes 😭 Just bring everything in the garage or buy one of those cheap Amazon greenhouses and heat it with an aquarium heater in a 5 gallon bucket of water and you’ll be fine. Just remember to monitor the water level
