Great to hear your efforts have contributed to the drop in the spotted lanternfly population! We just recommend that you replace the trees to help rebuild the eco-system...Keep up the great work and stay vigilant in the garden; your community efforts will help us all!

It's definitely a headache dealing with neighbors who might not be as conscientious about maintaining their lawns and gardens, especially when it comes to invasive species like the spotted lanternfly. These little critters can cause a big ruckus, not just for the aesthetics of the area, but also for the health of the local ecosystem. Proper maintenance is absolutely crucial because it helps keep these pests at bay and prevents them from spreading to other homes and nearby natural habitats. It's like being part of the neighborhood watch, but for nature! Keep fighting the good fight!

We often talk about different regions, and we're glad to hear you watch from British Colombia! Even though our hardiness zones are close, there are other criterion that make our planting palettes different. We try to grow Pacific Northwest plants that require elevation, and unfortunately they struggle here! Like we always say, we're just waiting for the science to catch up...Thanks for tuning in and "We'll See You in the Garden!"

Thanks for your support Mike!!!

Thanks for your question! Use Spinosad!! It is organic and does a great job. Spinosad is the best active ingredient you can use on your eggplant... Bonide has it labeled Captain Jacks Dead Bug Brew! Your problem is most Likely Colorado Potato Beetles!! Check out this clip below for more details... - Len ruclips.net/user/clipUgkxejCb_wcsOQNC_Qfe4rudYSllLQwmJ-hE?si=b2eOhRpB7dlfi7K-

Absolutely!!!!!!! Hardy Hibiscus are amazing!

Thanks for the question! Maria pulled Patriot Hosta for this video...They are an extremely popular perennial at our Garden Center...Thanks for noticing!

Absolutely @sunlitslumber ! We find that overall general ambient lighting surrounding their environment play a part in our perception level of the glow...It is amazing to see when placed in the right environment...The buds really do resemble fireflies!

Hey Vicki! We hope all is well! You just took Len on a trip down memory lane!!!!! We are so glad to see you still connecting with Bloomers after all these years! We look forward to seeing you! ***BTW, we still have the bunny!😁😅***

Thanks for your kind words! We appreciate you tuning in! "We'll See You in the Garden!"

Leatherleaf mahonia is invasive in the south, I have one but have not had a problem.

Yes. I have no idea if any of these are hardy to southern Ontario zone or not???

Thanks Martha for your support comment, we appreciate your kind words...Woodpeckers ABSOLUTELY love fruit/nut blends! If you are a looking to see more of a variety of birds, try mixing the blend flavors and see what other types of birds it attracts...We'd love to hear about it! Consider calling in on the Bloomer's in the Garden Hotline at (609) 685-1880. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Not all of them are invasive. The yellow blooming ones definitely are (often called “archangel”) However lamium maculatum is usually well behaved. I’ve got a garden full of native plants but I’ve chosen Lamium “white Nancy” for some dry shade under a silver maple where dandelions, false strawberry, and weeds are trying to take over. I’m hoping this groundcover can out-compete these.

She means 'en masse' = in a group or all together. I think it's French.

She's saying "en masse", French for a large group.

Come to Bloomers during the summer and visit our display gardens and you'll see.

How tall/wide do you want the plants to be? Do you want perennials or shrubs?

@@pamelah6431 Thanks so much for responding to me! I have a 5’x20’ bed under mature maple trees and would like shrubs and/or perennials, preferably with a “white” theme, nothing taller than about 4’. This used to be my white garden, mostly wonderful hostas, before deer moved in and chewed them to the ground. I currently have some brunneras, dryopteris ferns, and a few hellebores, all barely surviving. Any and all recommendations would be sincerely appreciated. ❤️

@@constancefaddis8037 what zone are you in?

@@pamelah6431 Thanks for sticking with me! 😃 I’m in Zone 6, officially, but have better luck with plants hardy to Zone 5. Columbus Ohio 43213

@@constancefaddis8037 have you tried any of the ones mentioned in this video yet?

Get it from AM Leonard's website.

Or Felco

@@pamelah6431 thanks

@@thegonzalezs4953 I have the one AM Leo sells that holds a pruner & soil knife. Love it. You can buy it on its own or with their tools. I use a Felco #2 (their version is ok if you're not doing this kind of work often) and the AM Leo deluxe soil knife (which rocks). I think they have one that has a pouch for a folding saw, too. I keep my Silky saw separate in a Corona fabric pouch. Fits into it like a glove, and is less cumbersome than having a big, wide tool pouch on the belt, especially for days when I don't need the saw.

@@pamelah6431 just checked on them , out of stock it says . I guess I’ll have to wait 😊

Same! I’m in Sacramento too. I have a north facing porch that gets no sun, only bright light and it is always so hot during our summers. I end up resorting to some houseplants outside instead.
