Hi Ursula, I'm glad your home and garden are safe after the storm. It's been raining and humid for days in Georgia. It's not doing me any favors because nothing is drying out. The dampness encourages the snail brigade, mosquitos, and plant disease. I hope the critters have had enough of your garden and will go somewhere else quickly.
Hey Mrs.Ursula 👋 I still have my Melons in cups 😅. Your garden is looking good, I'm trying my best to get some peppers, we will see, Thank you for sharing and support, Happy Gardening!
Hey Jamerica, thanks. OMG, I saw your video where you were picking them and that white bucket almost half full of snails, I couldn't believe how many was in your yard. I was the one who said watch out for snakes while your reaching under branches to get them. They have migrated from TX to LA, next they will be is MS. Growing collards in the fall sounds like a plan, I will try to start some as well. Thanks, enjoy your evening.
Pick up them containers.. You will find a whole bunch of snails under that pot. I’ve got to do some moving and out. There was so many. I just got rid of them all.
So glad your safe we were just watching the news about Texas and Lafayette 🙏 be safe Ms Ursula. Fantastic news about everything coming along and no damage to the trees. Even though it’s been extremely dry here we are being decimated by slugs 😢but that’s nature. They took our most of my tomatoes 🍅, looks like small snails as slugs normally eat the entire leaf. Have a calm weekend, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
Hey Ali, thanks. Oh, no, not the tomatoes, they could have bothered something else but that. Your right, that is nature but we don't have to like it. It's crazy how we go from flooding rains to bone dry in a matter of days and that's when the pest come out to feast. SMH. I hope you can save some or drop more seeds, we need the tomatoes. Enjoy your week.
Hi Ursula! These pests are so disrespectful. I make this solution with chopped fresh garlic and a couple of teaspoons of eucalyptus oil and water. I store it in my refrigerator until I'm ready to use it. I use a funnel and a strainer to put into a water spray bottle, and I spray everything 😂 My potatoes were covered with large mesh bags with the drawstring. I'm with you! I want another crop cage.😊 You and I will be busy this weekend planting out the last of everything. Happy gardening 😊
Hey Elwanda, thanks and yes, they are...that solution sounds like bugs wouldn't like it. I hope and pray you completed planting all yours, I fell short this weekend but will finish during this week. Keep those potatoes covered so the bugs will be mad, LOL. Hava a great evening.
Those worms and snails are doing a number in your garden! The jalapeño plans are so full of peppers!!! I still have stuff that needs to be potted too! Gotta find space!!! Thx 4 sharing, & Happy Gardening everyone.
Hey Angela, I just watched your Balcony garden and saw your brassica, they look like mines...I would bet either snails, slugs or worms. Besides that, your garden is beautiful. Enjoy your evening.
Hey @maryboyd4918, thanks. Several people have told me about BT, after seeing all of the great advice, I definitely want to try it especially since it's all natural. Thanks again, enjoy your evening.
Hey, try using BT to control the pest. All natural and won’t harm your plants. Btw, love your videos. Watching from North Carolina. Born and raised in Marrero.
Hey @ordinaryguync, thanks. I've never tried BT but I may have to. I like the all natural stuff since I was trying not to put any pesticides in the garden. Say what na??? You from Marrero, nice to know that. I hope NC is really nice but nothing like NO...LOL. Thanks so much, enjoy your evening.
Hey @BackyardgardenFlo, thank you, much appreciated. We are OK here in my area but my heart goes out to those who were not so lucky. Now it's hurricane season, more to think about. 🙏🙏.
Hey Ursula, The weather was pretty bad, I still have plants that I need to put in their permanent place. It has been so hot. It's not even summer yet. We are in trouble and our plants.
Hey Wendy, yes it is and now we are in hurricane season so I'm praying for a calm season. So I'm not the only gardener still planting Spring/Summer plants? Definitely hot already, trying to get as much done as I can before we hit 100's. Enjoy your evening.
I ordered some really cute butter cups on Etsy. They grow wild in some areas and people don’t like them, but they’re really great for the pollinators so I ordered me a small package because I want to grow them. I also roll wildflower Sun burst Cosmos.& and those wildflowers precede they make their own seeds so once you plan them, you’ll you’ll have them all the time
That sounds like something I should be looking for...I see some bees flying around the plants but I didn't plan for many flowers, I was concentrating on the food but I need both, thanks.
Them overwintered peppers look great you can do up to four years. I had a banana pepper that was so massive like 5 foot high. And was giving me abundance of peppers big long ones and I was like to put those I like to put peppers in my beans 🫘
Hey @deltorress, thanks. I didn't know I could do that 3 more years, how cool is that? I definitely will try it. I want to experiment with pickling the peppers to see how it turns out. I love peppers in my Red Beans but I can't take the super hot ones, only mild.
Hey @bemoniqueb2893, I definitely did unfortunately I'm behind on responding to comments so the video came out earlier today. #Readytoretirebutcan'tyet"...LOL. Enjoy your evening.
Yes, take those peppers off and pull the lower leaves away. Take them off to pull down those lower leaves on the peppers that you bought at the store and believe me that helps with production.
Hey @deltorres, that is what i'm planning to do...I noticed the one that doesn't have a bell pepper on it is much larger than the ones that do. Been so focused on getting everything planted and checking for worms, snails and eggs on everything, I lost track of what I needed to do. But tomorrow, thanks.
Hi @winbev11, thanks so much. I love Mrs. Linda, she is so sweet and generous. I watch and follow her, she knows her stuff. Thanks again, enjoy your evening.
Don't get overwhelmed friend, you'll get it all done. Do you use diatomaceous earth? It may help with all those worms. I would cut the plants back some then dust them. I hear people say they use snail bait for the snails. This time of year can be tough. 😐😐
Hey @ReasonsWhy5, thanks, I needed that cause seeing all my work get destroyed can be annoying. I have some neem oil and peppermint castile soap, I will mix some and spray the plants, hopefully the peppermint smell and neem oil will deter them. Really tough time but I need to stay positive. Thanks again, enjoy your evening.
I did manage to get some guys to build me some raised beds out of metal and wood out of industrial roofing that I had sitting in my backyard. Finally got some young guys to cut it and put it into race beds. That guy said them busy the last 25 years, but the wood is on there too, so maybe that I don’t know we’ll seedid a great job. They made too big ones real high and all the trees went down yesterday and the disaster. I’ll fill them up with trees before I put the soil on whatever whatever else I got.
Oh, deltorres, that sounds wonderful, I know a lot of great veggies will be grown in those beds. You will have to let me know when you finish filling them and start growing.
Yes, my tomato seedlings looked real poor looking until I put them in their bigger pots and forever homes and now they just sprouted out. I need to go buy some tomato cages for them or some type of cage for them or even some steaks tomato steaks I think they sell them at Home Depot not the bamboo ones but the hard plastic ones, so I can just put those on that it’ll be Sunday
Hey @deltorres, same thing happened to me, I guess the cup was restricting them because they are really getting big now that they are planted out. Yes, they definitely will need some sort of support, good luck.
So we had to move containers around for them guys to make the Reyes beds so if you move those containers, you’ll find a snails on the bottom sleeping so when you go to sleep, they come out at night and eat up on them leaves so move those containers just just to see the creatures on the bottom. There’s always those little snails on the bottom we found a whole bunch.
Hey @deltorres, you were right, I lifted each pot and there were snails either on the side or under the pots. They were thrown across my fence but I know they will be back, my neighbor isn't growing food. LOL.
Hey @laurasmith4509, I saw that, the flooding in Texas is horrible as well as all the storms people are dealing with this Spring. I messaged CiCi but I know her garden will recover. Thanks, enjoy your evening.
I’ll pop some seeds in of some pumpkins and some different kind of squashes and some butternut squash and all kinds of stuff. Oh my God I’m just hoping that it’ll last before the bugs don’t get to everything.
Happy Saturday Mrs Ursula I’m still learning a lot would a 15 gallon grow bag be good for sweet potatoes? I also ordered some berry tone for my strawberry plants one has a flower lord I smelled that stuff through the shipping box got a strong smell to it but it had great reviews hopefully I can get some berries.
Hey @ATL-Realtor, there is always something new for us gardeners to learn. Yes, 15 gallon grow bags are the size I used last year and this year. I hope you get some berries as well. I heard good things about Berrytone, let me know how it worked for you, when I run out of my current fertilizer, I might try that.
@@uniquelyyoursphotography6270 Sounds like you're not too far from that Walgreens on the corner. I don't know the street but I think I know your area, not far at all, we're almost neighbors, LOL. Enjoy your evening.
Put out a bucket of beer doesn't have to be fresh they were literally get drunk and drown themselves but beware the beer is going to be slimy and gross but it's time to throw it out and start over and there's something else you can use it's made of ground up seashells snails also hate that grind yourself up some seashells like clam shells or oyster shells sprinkler it around your garden caterpillars pyrethrin
Hi @georetrusty7696, thanks for the tip...I did hear that, it will be a bunch of drunks around here soon. I've never seen so many of them at one time. I've been picking them and pitching them across my fence...Hope my neighbors don't see me...LOL. I have neem oil for the caterpillars though. Thanks.
@@harveycontainergardener332 throwing them over the fence people mistake snails underestimate because they're slow that they're ignorant they got both a male and female brain working at unison those creatures they will come back do the test the snail that you get rid of throw over mark them with some nail polish just a little spot lake shore it dries and then throw that snail over the fence watch you going to find that little creature in your yard again and you can make escargot but you got to dredge them you got to feed them for a week or two off of a cornmeal canned spinach and freshwater and you got a feast 😋 what type of snails are there are those apple snails that were important for China for human consumption they have black shells and a lay red eggs
I’m glad you’re OK yes it came from us here in Texas. It was really bad. Really bad for people lost their lives. People are without power till today till right now at 11:30 PM on Friday. All my neighbors had a lot of down trees we didn’t and we only lost power for one hour and it went back on, but there is still people without power, it’s because it does
Hey @deltorres, my heart goes out to everyone affected, I hadn't heard anyone lost their life. OMG, the weather is horrible and if it wasn't bad enough with tornados, now it's hurricane season. 🙏🙏

Hi, Ursula! I can’t believe the critters are taking over. They better stay away from Berry Lane.
Hey Ursula those worms are a pest alright. Yes get those plants planted the rain will give them a good start. Take care.
Looking good thanks for sharing
Ursula, you are so sweet and beautiful inside and out. The pests would be RIp🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I know your pain! These snails, cabbage loopers, and slugs are making Swiss Cheese out of everything! 😫
Hey Mrs.Ursula 👋
I still have my Melons in cups 😅. Your garden is looking good, I'm trying my best to get some peppers, we will see, Thank you for sharing and support, Happy Gardening!
I have them saying worms over here. Destroying food. Nope, nope, nope.
The snails and worms did the same thing to me. I guess I’ll try to grow collards in fall ….The bugs are bad this year smh Happy Gardening

I used BT on my garden after the worms devoured a whole pot of cilantro and half a collard tree. Works great and all natural. Great video BTW.
