My Maine Gardens
Добавлен 12 июл 2022
Join me as we celebrate, explore, find success and failure in my Maine gardens. I will share tips and tricks and lessons learned starting from planting that very first tree in our landscape. Come along with me as we explore and check out other people's gardens (mostly with their permission;) and other beautiful Maine gardens. Our season for growing is short in Maine so we appreciate every new bloom and blossom. I'm excited to share my Maine gardens with you!

Pruning a rhododendron (helping out my new friend)
Просмотров 96Месяц назад
I love how gardening brings people together. Mary reached out to me after watching my segment on WABI TV5 about rhododendrons asking for advice about pruning hers. I offered to help her out and offered to prune her shrub. The shrub looks great and I made a new friend:)

All these people raising $ for cancer patients at the 2024 Champion the Cure Challenge
Просмотров 14Месяц назад
This is not a gardening video but it is about something special to me and so many others. For the 15th year I had the privilege of serving as the emcee for this event that raises $$$ for cancer patients in Maine. I thought it would be cool to record from this angle to capture the magic of this event. More than half a million has been raised so far and 100% of those dollars will remain right her...

Every year for as long as I can remember the codfish races have brought people together on a summer day in Milbridge, Maine to compete, have fun and earn bragging rights. The rules are strict. The codfish is honored and the fans go wild. This should be an Olympic sport.

Thank you so much for sharing this video !
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for all this great info! Looking forward to learning more from you 💚
@@TheSuburbanGardenista thank you for following and for your lovely comment! Stay tuned and happy gardening!!!
Great video! I especially liked the tips about the root slayer shovel and letting the root rest a day after digging so it won't be so brittle. I'm working on a collection of older double varieties and have many planted already, but the oldest are only 3 years old and I haven't done this dividing yet. I only want one of each variety on my list, so I'll be giving roots away too.
@@karenholt9744 thank you for watching. Roger is the best! Good luck with yours!!
This video helped me save my petunias!! Thank you so much! I love your spirit and energy, you are so lovely to watch 🥰
Aww thank you!!! I really appreciate that:) so glad it helped! Happy gardening!!

Wow, Roger you have GREAT peony gardens!
Thanks for all of your great information!
Thank you so much for watching! I know Roger appreciated the comments. :))
I wish he could come to pittsburgh to speak to my garden club - I’ll share this video with them - thank you!!
Oh that is wonderful. I will let him know. He will love that:) Thank you. There is another video here we shot earlier in the season when they were in bloom and he offered some great tips then too…
I enjoyed doing the workshop with you and it was fun! I would love to do one in Pittsburgh but I don’t think my John Deere would make it😁😀😁
You should be on tv. You seem to be a born natural. Nice work
That is so nice of you! I have a media(tv/radio) background and host a gardening segment on WABI TV5 in Bangor, Maine. Feel free to share your thoughts with the Magnolia Network;). Seriously... thank you for your comment and for watching!!! Happy gardening!!!
I'm curious - what brand of slicing cucumber did you plant? We're having moderately good success with "Sweet Success", but not much from Straight 8. Our current favorite peppers are "Carmen" - an elongated (bull's horn type)variety that's very prolific and delicious green or red or in-between. Our location: a few miles north of Ellsworth.
Interesting and thank you for being here. Mine are the “slice more” variety and holy cow … they are doing great!!
Great easy instructions 👏🏼 thank you.
Thank you! I will be sharing an update soon.
would love to see a follow up video of this basket to prove that the original plan worked and the plants revived.
Yes it works. I have revived many petunias and she(Maine gardens) showed the Petunia plant was not rootbound. It was mostly soil and if this is the case, all that was needed was the coffee filter I use it even On all my pots, it provides great drainage, prevent the soil from seeping onto your deck or the concrete floor. It is recommended that you change the coffee filters every two years.
If The petunia was root bounded. It is recommended to increase the pot size stimulate the roots and add the coffee filters and fertilizer. They are heavy feeders.
Thx@@sungoddes2932
Thank you!
That was fun to watch again.. Be well!!!
Hi Sisters!!! Met you at the Milbridge day Cod race… I was looking for your pics from the race, couldn’t find them.. you had a beautiful day in Bar Harbor and on the water!!
Hi! I just posted the video:). So fun to meet you! Team BISONS 2025??!!
I was wondering how long it takes to regrow after cutting them back. Thank you for the great video! Subscribing to your channel!!!
Aww thank you! It does take a while:) nice to have you here !!!
I picked one two weeks ago and nothing since. What am I doing wrong?
Are you giving them enough water?
@@02markcal i mean what’s enough? I soak them which i think I was watering them too much. I fertilize them and prune them
@@Mr-C-Codes How hot has it been in the last two weeks?
Nice video. Thanks
@@02markcal i’m in southern california so pretty hot. my soil is pretty dense so i’m scared of overwatering and getting root rot. also i don’t have much space and the way the garden is set up is kind of in the shade so it gets maybe 4 hours of direct sunlight. i don’t think it’s windy enough to properly pollinate… so many variables i don’t know what the problem can be
Hey Deb! New subscriber here! Enjoyed the video!! 😊❤
Hi!! Thank you for watching and subscribing. Nice to meet you here :))
I just picked one and I got 3 more chonkers getting nice and big for me.
“Chonkers” best word ever to describe them:)) thank you for that!!!
The boxwood really is lush - good tip - thanks, Deb and Henri!!!
Thank you for watching and Henri says “woof” :)
Chào chị cảm ơn chị đã chia sẻ video rất là tuyệt vời chúc chị buổi tối nhiều sức khỏe ❤❤❤❤
I loved this video! It’s the middle of July, we’ve had a drought & bad storms that ruined my beautiful petunias! I’m going to use your technique & cross my fingers.
Oh good luck! Do be patient and they should bounce back. Thank you for watching!
You have to do it. But it will work and fertilize❤
@@maryfettig3378 I did it and they are regrowing beautifully already!
I agree on good soil. In the Midwest we have a lot of clay. I use mowed leaves every Fall & my homemade compost. I own a dwarf bunny to use his pelleted manure as fertilizer. The fertilizer is well rounded. Not just nitrogen. Too much nitrogen, & you get full lush leaves & no fruit. I also use fish emulsion on young plants. Watering deeply is important too.
This is great! Thank you for sharing and for watching. Love the bunny part:)
My sweet cousin with the most amazing soul.
I love her … she is so special.
very informative!
Thank you! I learned a lot from Peggy! I appreciate you watching:)
If I get beach sand what do I still need to add
Nope. Beach sand already contains salt and minerals they like. You’re good :))
@@mymainegardens so no manure
Great video Thank You 😊❤
@@trulyblessedsharia thank you!!!
Very nice with our hottest days ❤
Awww they are so sweet and adorable and cute 🥰❤
Truth:)
“What the fluff is this weird smelling water?” 😂😂😂 Nice beach. 👍
Right?! ;) Gouldsboro Bay, Steuben, Maine
@@mymainegardens Awesome! 🤩
It is really important to sterilize tools in between each different plant to prevent spread of HVX or other hosta diseases.
Great reminder! Thank you :)
Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Happy gardening:)
Great video :)
Glad you enjoyed it… thank you !!! Happy gardening:))
Vermont girl here with dying petunias. you are GREAT!! Just love your energy, fellow New Englander! Much love to you!!
Aww thank you! Great to meet you:) good luck with your petunia rescue project :)) it’s been a crazy New England summer so far !!
What fertilizer did you use?
Hi…. It really starts with filling the beds with good stuff then I used a fish fertilizer last year. Worked well. This year I’m trying a few new things. I planted the tomatoes with tomato tone and will again use the Neptune fish/seaweed blend and I am going to incorporate some cal-mag. Watch for a video from this years beds … fun to see what works and lessons learned. Happy growing!
...............Question: I have beach sand that's been in a sealed, airtight container for a few years, is that safe to use?
That should be absolutely fine. Some suggest using play sand if you don’t have access to beach sand. So this should work. You can add some salt (not table) mineral (I use sea salt) to add nutrients and/or some manure mixed in. Good Luck and thanks for being here!
So glad to find your video! Easy to grow, huh??? This is my second summer trying to grow them and have already had to move it. You encouraged me to keep trying!
Oh gosh I hope you find a good spot for them. I have moved some of mine too mostly when the location had too much sun and the leaves curled. Good luck!!
I bought a dragon wing begonia. Its in a 9 inch container. Its still happy and healthy. When should i put it in a larger pot? I wish you would have shown a different angle of yours so i could see the size of container.
Hi Sharon! Thank you for watching. Mine is in a large pot. Sorry I can’t attach a photo. If yours is thriving where it is … let it be :)
This was delightful and helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you:)
Absolutely stunning! Thankyou for sharing.
Thank you for watching. So glad you enjoyed it!
I love this!!!
Thank you … me too! Love them and their beautiful gardens.
They make good cut flowers! 😂
They do! Thank you :)
I’m in the south but ran across your video. You’re funny in a pleasant and interesting way! Love the video
Hi Amanda:) I really appreciate that. Thank you and thank you for being here. Hopefully more of our videos will be fun and informative for you too! If you ever want to visit Maine… happy to offer some travel tips! Deb
informative video
Thank you!!!
Hopefully they grow healthier!!! Scary watching her cut whole 😳 flowering 💐 stems
Yeah I did go a little crazy with the cutting back;). Here are the results. ruclips.net/video/KHcKRqHOdZU/видео.html
I LOVE peonies. I can remember wanting these in my wedding flowers. It was December, so of course, the florist said it was a no go lol. That was almost 18 years ago so I was young and had no clue about anything 😄 Im currently trying to take care of some petunias that aren't looking so great. I did watch your sad petunia video and it helped tremendously. You just made it make sense by explaining why you cut them back and talking about the energy going to the new growth. Makes perfect sense so thank you. Ive never had a green thumb, but my granny's did! They could bring anything to life. I wish I'd paid more attention when I was younger especially now that I'm no longer able to ask them all their little tricks. Anyway, I really appreciate your channel and will continue to follow. ❤
K:).your comments made my day! So happy you are here:). your grannies are no doubt channeling their green thumbs to you. Good luck reviving the petunias. Keep me posted! I love your peony wedding story:). So sweet!
Oh dear! I heard that lemon peels may deter these critters😊
Oohh nice idea :)

Awesome! Thank you!
Trying to watch you and listen to your words was impossible with your puppy taking away everything from this pod. Waste of time recording it.
I did watch (and edit) it many times to ensure the content came through. It’s real life with a puppy in the garden:) and my videos don’t try to be perfect as gardening never is:)
