I watched this on Mom's Day! This gave me great zest to go out & plant, replant, my Hubby strung a shade up so we have shade! YAH! :) Thank you! Have an awesome weekend!
Tropical Plant Party aww thank you!!! I am staying safe and sound, but having a hard time deciding if I should order plants online 😭😭 I haven’t been able to plant at all this year. .. but your vlogs give me so much hope 🥰
That tree is scary but so beautiful! I love watching what's happening in your garden and hearing your thought process. I'm learning things I never knew!
Thank you, Eileen! Yes that is a dangerous but beautiful plant. I'm having a heck of a time deciding where to move it. I have to keep in mind that I'll have neices and/or nephews in a few years, plus the senior dogs. It has to go somewhere inaccessible, or ill have to put a fence around it, which I don't think would look very good.
Hey I haven't done an official tropical plant party on this channel in years! I forgot that I used to do a video every year of just the plants with music in the background.
I've noticed that when it rains the power to that outlet is more likely to work than not. If that's the casw then water is getting in to complete a broken connection somewhere. An electrician can locate the issue and repair or rewire it. It's always such a treat to follow along with your progress outside!
Also - as far as arcing goes the load should be low enough that if that's happening along the length of the wire in the ground the soil should dissipate it but if that that box watch out!
Hey Jeff. it’s ok not to have a plan. With this crazy weather you have to follow Mother Nature’s lead. Our garden centres finally opened today( limited people and social distancing of coarse ) and we all woke up to SNOW ❄️❄️❄️. Ya. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’ll keep watching. 🐢🐶. Keep a look out for those KILLER HORNETS. 😳
I forgot to pull my canans up so I pray they come back. My theory is the winter was too bad so they may have survived. that slow mo margarita was AMAZING. Pretty sure I caught so of those splashes to taste. I will be looking for those Hilo Beauties... they are perfect for my backyard. OMG... CHANDILER CHRONICLES!!!
😂🤣😅 "chandelier chronicles" ... im shocked nobody gave me 💩 over that! You're in zone 6 right? They might be ok, it's rare that I lose cannas to cold winters. Sometimes it takes them awhile to get going in the spring. They take their time coming up and don't usually budge until the ground is nice and warm.
Long vlogs are back, awesome! Sorry you lost all that footage tho, that must be so frustrating. Glad you're getting closer to getting that magnolia taken care of!!
Hey Jeff, Another great video thank you. I did have a laugh when you talk about noises and farts it reminds me of my brother he’s always trying to blame somebody else or something else. Thank you for sharing the vinegar and hot water with some washing up liquid for killing plants or getting them in control I have a lot of invasive weeds one in particular called bind weed which grows with just a broken piece somewhere and it is horrendous and gets into everything and strangles other plants and I’m constantly trying to kill it so will try the vinegar if It can as you say, get rid of the leaves and roots should die off. Your plants are looking great Nice colour and rearing to go. As normal it’s lovely to see your animals and your little tortoise it really is a cheer me up time. Take care, keep warm and enjoy your week😁🐾🌈🇬🇧
Thank you! I've heard of bind weed, horrible stuff! The vinegar only works for me if I stay on top of spraying new foliage for a few weeks bc it does not normally kill the roots.
We have had some very strange weather here we had two inches of ice that had two inches of snow on top of it .we have had one nice day in the low sixty than cold and windy rainy weather so not much getting done outside for now .Hope you have a strong week thank you for everything keep on growing happy planting see you soon.
Colby is so amazing!! I had to have a tree taken down today. It was a very sick elm with lots of rot inside the wood once down. Trunk split down to the ground and getting worse every year. If it had fale it would take my garage out and the other side would have fallen into the street. Very sad to lose a tree but it had to be done. I had hm leave the trunk and I will try to get planters up there. I have a vision but not sure I can pull it off. Leaving them just as is is also fine. Bummer on the thorn tree. Just a few mornings ago we were down to 31.
Hi Jeff. Great Vlog. Really cool to see the sun shining at your place and the show getting on the road for summer. The Elephant ear at least on the picture looks cool....but the marketing people always have a "wide" descriptive license. Reminds me where I grew up. There was a part of the village named Belle Eau Parc.. Known locally as " Bella Park" as we were in the Uk rather than France. You will translate the name as Beautiful water park. You won't be surprised to hear it looked a little shabby, there was no water in sight and in no-ones loosest definition would you describe it as a park. Have a great weekend mate. Cheers
This weather IS CRAZY! 80° one day and the next day 60° with night temps at 35° . The first 3 times I covered everything but the last 3 times I decided nope! It is soooooo much work covering everything and uncovering everything the next day. Oh and the very special plants I had brought back inside the first few times but gave up on that as well.... EVERYTHING is so heavy! Gardening in ground and pots is my very most favorite thing in the world but it's HARD WORK and when you throw in frost when the frost should have stopped at latest April 15th for me in North Alabama at some point I just told my plants to please stay strong and be tough hahaha I have zero help with plants and gardening but not one person is shy about asking for cuttings, plants and veggies 🤪🤣😂🤣🤪 Don't get me wrong I absolutely love sharing but where are these people when I'm moving heavy pots and planting and tending to my garden haha okay this turned in to a whole rant, sorry lol I wouldn't continue to do it year after year if I didn't love and enjoy it!! I just really wish the weather would decide hot or cold 🦋 Happy Planting and have a great week!!
😂🤣😅 oh i can relate to all of this! Looks tonight is going to be our last cool night and we will be back to having night time lows in the 60s and 70s... finally! I also was to a point where I was over moving everything back in and covering stuff. I rolled the dice with several plants Friday and Sunday night when it dipped into the 30s, but everything looks fine except some annuals, but they grow fast and will bounce back in a week or so. Isn't it funny how people will ask for the fruits of your labor but not ask if you need help? Sounds familiar! 😂🤣 isn't there an old fable about that? Something with a rabbit, no, grasshopper and ants? Idk. Lol.
Hi Jeff! I'm sorry you did all of that filming in slowmo then had to redo. Also for losing two other videos. 😕 Was that a margarita you made? If so, what did you put on the rim? It was good seeing Colby, Toby, Tucker and Pumpkin, as always. If you put a crepe myrtle in the corner, where will you put your orange tree? I hope you get a reasonable bid on removing the tree and get it done soon. Have you heard yet when you will be able to have surgery on your shoulder? It sounds like some places are starting to schedule the non-emergency surgeries. I love watching your progress, and honestly, love watching anything you do. Thank you so much for sharing, and keep on growing! I forgot to ask if you get fruit on the orange tree and if it is edible?
Oh it's nbd, I didn't refilm anything I lost anyway, just moved on with other things. Yes, that was a margarita. I dont remember the name of the seasoning blend, but it was like a chili-cayenne mix of some sort. Well I wasn't sold on putting the orange tree there anyway, I'd prefer it go somewhere else that the pets and people never would be in contact with it. Also may have nieces and/or nephews in the future and have to keep that in consideration. Yes, they're edible, but not very tasty. They are bitter and normally used for making drinks and jams/marmalades.
Wierd weather in N.W. Oregon...81° yesterday and today..what is june going to be like if it's this hot now? Love your drink glass thanks for sharing...all your stuff, hugs.
Nah that didn’t sound like a fart😂 I had to back track to listen again, if that had been a fart 💨 I would feel really sorry for you, that might of really hurt! 💚🙃 Thanks Jeff for another great video. Its 29 degrees here with the wind blowing cross Lake Michigan and it’s COLD. Stay safe, hopefully we will be able to go out and about soon💚🙃 Well I have to edit this to say we’re not at 29 degrees, my phone didn’t update. It’s 50 degrees with wind gusts to 30 mph. It feels like 29 degrees out there though.💚🙃
Tropical Plant Party You had me cracking up with the way you casually slid that wasn’t a fart in there. Thanks again for making me laugh, it’s not an easy thing to do.💚🙃
I live in N KY and Fri night it was 28... I was able to bring the moveable plants inside and cover 75% of the stuff in ground. I think I lost 2 plants over all. Annoying but not too bad. When I planted stuff the forecast was nothing below 40 for 2 weeks... that was a big lie... so I can totally relate to your situation.
Friend reminded me of a place to suggest you look into. Feed stores. I assume they're essential because livestock have needs, and they often have some gardening things in my experience. We have a bunch of plumeria about to bloom, including one whose new to us and supposed to be an interesting flower. Miss uti kitty is down to 17.5lbs. She seems stable...but how often have I thought that before. 3 months since the last diagnosis...so any day now I expect her to relapse.
Mz Stitcher Has your vet prescribed a urinary tract health food? Its mainly used for male cats that get kidney stones, but basically helps flush them out. My big girl has chronic UTIs and i found that the food shes on has helped IMMENSELY. I know the struggle.
@@hobbithabits we started that in sept. Dec and feb both had utis which was super frustrating. My chewy order of prescription food is coming soon. 2 email alerts that their shipping times are a bit wonky due to virus.
Aw, Jeff, I’m sorry you lost your video footage but I would sell my soul for that margarita. 😉 I enjoyed your video all the same (as always). Please tell me how in the world you are going to transfer that much water from the garage pond to the outdoor pond?
Oh the lost footage doesn't matter, the video was almost an hour long so clearly I was able to make up for it😆 I use a pump and long hose to transfer the water, it really is pretty easy actually.
I can see that bitter orange tree hooking into your skin and making a nasty nasty wound. How old is Kolby? And where did you get her from? She’s beautiful, I love turtles. I was in Hawaii once and went into a state park on the ocean, never saw the notice about leaving the sea turtles alone, so what did I do, walked right up to the sea turtle that was basking on the shore. I didn’t touch her/ him but really wanted too, the turtle didn’t look healthy so that’s why I stayed away from it otherwise I think I would have gotten up close and personal with it. Thank goodness I didn’t, I saw the sign on the way out of the park. My bad. I can’t wait to move all of my plants I have waiting in the house outside. I have a ginger the variegated one that I bought and it looked so good but pot bound, I repotted it and now it’s dying. It breaks my heart because she was so beautiful. I can’t figure out what’s wrong. I love your descriptive words, poop pouch being one of them. Toby is just a boy wanting to have some fun, just a minor forget slip. He’s probably sorry. I think this stay at home/ shelter in place is messing with my head. I never leave the house much, but now that I can’t, I’m talking to you like your my best friend, sorry. I know I’m a pest💚🙃
😂🤣 not a pest at all! Colby is still a baby, few years old, rather small for her age. The place I rescued her from didn't give her a good start/proper, varied diet. Oh yeah, he's a dog, i wasn't mad at him. Actually I don't think I've ever been upset with Toby before. Since day one he has always been a very well behaved dog. Didn't chew much as a puppy, only a couple of accidents in the house, which is nbd, puppies have accidents. Heck, just 3 days ago tucker who is 12 peed on my foot right after I let him in the house from being outside to go potty! Rude! 😂🤣 The alpinia zerumbet gingers tend to throw fits when repotted, totally normal. If possible keep the plant somewhere warm and humid with moist soil and it will bounce back. Might have some die back, but it will put up new growth and be ok.
@@TropicalPlantParty if you try to could you have Caladium live all year in leaf form, I know they use a lot of energy to live all year but could they? Any Elephant Ear type of plants?
Hi how ya doing? Just here to throw another wrench in your thought process lol, have you ever thought about putting a Espalier tree in the spot where the Magnolia was? 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Tropical Plant Party so look up how to make a tree into an esp tree and make one 😉 you can do it I have faith in you! Plus it would be a great continual project. Like Poblano watch but HUGE!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
😂🤣 oh my hands are plenty full right now without taking on an espalier project 😅 I actually have made them before, it isn't super hard but to get them to a size I would like would take years.
It's impressive isn't it? It's the Melnor XT 7. Only issue i have with it is that the shower mode is so wide that I have to get really close to the small plants to water them. If I don't then the water just goes in a circle around them.
That's right, she stays clear of the pool edge. She walks up to the edge sometimes, looks down then turns around. I did however read up on tortoise cpr (yes that is a real thing) just in case. I also don't normally let her wander unless I'm out there to keep tabs on her since she can dig under the fence.
"just put the plant in the bag that's on the label" ugh, so annoying. I bought 30 "mixed" rain lily bulbs last year. Now, I'm fully aware that pink is more common than white, red and yellow. But you'd think, out of two packages of 15, at least one would be non-pink. No. All pink. It doesn't matter, I just planted them as filler in the front bed, but one non-pink would have been nice, you know? And you having me want to reorder Cannas. The ones I bought last year, the plants came up spindly and died. I really want the look of the Pink Sunburst, Inferno and Stuttgart together in a pot. Then again I could buy some fancy hibiscus, even though I hate them my mom thinks they're pretty.
She knows to stay away. Idk how, but she always stays clear of the pool edge. That is one of the reasons I only let her wander when its supervised though.
I was inspired by your "try harder" speech to head back outside and try harder to keep moving dirt. The soreness to dirt moved ratio totally did not justify the effort.
I leaned a lot from this video about what plants can take a bit of cold weather and which ones cannot. I’m so anxious to get stuff outside and leave it there.
Your vlogs are keeping me sane and inspired right now. Thank you for being you! ♥
Thank you, Laura! Hope your week is going well. 🙂
I watched this on Mom's Day! This gave me great zest to go out & plant, replant, my Hubby strung a shade up so we have shade! YAH! :) Thank you! Have an awesome weekend!

Hi how ya doing? Just here to throw another wrench in your thought process lol, have you ever thought about putting a Espalier tree in the spot where the Magnolia was? 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hey Julie, I'm good, how are you? I did think about an esp apple tree, but they are SOOOO expensive.
Tropical Plant Party so look up how to make a tree into an esp tree and make one 😉 you can do it I have faith in you! Plus it would be a great continual project. Like Poblano watch but HUGE!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
😂🤣 oh my hands are plenty full right now without taking on an espalier project 😅 I actually have made them before, it isn't super hard but to get them to a size I would like would take years.
Tropical Plant Party 😂😂😂just think how satisfied you would be though lol 😂🥰 just teasing.
All because of 🍹. 🤭😅🤣😛❤❤❤❤❤❤
😂🤣😅 worth it!
Love the watering head on the hose! Brand? Model? Where you bought it?
It's impressive isn't it? It's the Melnor XT 7. Only issue i have with it is that the shower mode is so wide that I have to get really close to the small plants to water them. If I don't then the water just goes in a circle around them.
Tropical Plant Party love it! Just ordered a couple! Thank you so much!!
To plant all types of ginger should you soak them and for how long before putting in soil
I’m guessing the turtle knows not to fall into the pool?
That's right, she stays clear of the pool edge. She walks up to the edge sometimes, looks down then turns around. I did however read up on tortoise cpr (yes that is a real thing) just in case. I also don't normally let her wander unless I'm out there to keep tabs on her since she can dig under the fence.
"just put the plant in the bag that's on the label"
ugh, so annoying. I bought 30 "mixed" rain lily bulbs last year. Now, I'm fully aware that pink is more common than white, red and yellow. But you'd think, out of two packages of 15, at least one would be non-pink. No. All pink. It doesn't matter, I just planted them as filler in the front bed, but one non-pink would have been nice, you know?
And you having me want to reorder Cannas. The ones I bought last year, the plants came up spindly and died. I really want the look of the Pink Sunburst, Inferno and Stuttgart together in a pot. Then again I could buy some fancy hibiscus, even though I hate them my mom thinks they're pretty.
Been there many times, so frustrating! I love the pink sunburst cannas, I ordered them but they haven't come yet.
How do you prevent your gorgeous tortoise from falling in pool
She knows to stay away. Idk how, but she always stays clear of the pool edge. That is one of the reasons I only let her wander when its supervised though.
I was inspired by your "try harder" speech to head back outside and try harder to keep moving dirt. The soreness to dirt moved ratio totally did not justify the effort.
😂🤣😅 I often feel the same with moving dirt around!
I’ll come get it if u don’t want it.
U talk to much about cleaning up an nothing about planting 🤐🤐😿
I also explained why I was doing that. Can't plant until the garden beds are prepped, the cold goes away, oh and the plants have to all arrive.
I leaned a lot from this video about what plants can take a bit of cold weather and which ones cannot. I’m so anxious to get stuff outside and leave it there.
Me too! I think tomorrow is going to be the big day! Maybe.
