I had reservations about the dumpster enclosure disappearing into the landscape when you mentioned it would be black but wow Laura it truly does! What a difference it makes
I just ordered some of this Thuricide for my petunias. Every summer they start out looking wonderful, then get attacked by the bud worm. People at our local greenhouses were no help, so I am so excited to see how this works. Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!I have this problem every year so annoying I have beautiful petunias,geraniums,even my tomatoes and those worms eat everything even my zinnias! My favorite I'm spraying right away!🌻🌸☺️
Great video Laura! For us crazy followers of you, that may or may not plant the same plants going after the "Laura look", care to take us along this fall as you cut back and get your plants ready for winter? I can never remember what hydrangeas and when, can you cut back ferns or heucharas, or what the general rules are.
So seeing the budworm was very helpful... we have these!! Your videos are the best - I'm a visual person and learn best this way (other than doing). I've been doing gardening and learning from my Mum - however, since finding your channel from a search of making terrariums, I have learnt SO much. Thank you :D Pip
Thank you for doing a video on this. Pests in the garden are my biggest issue. I don’t like to spray harsh chemicals and the homemade remedies rarely work for me. I don’t know enough about what to spray that isn’t harsh on the environment and the beneficial bugs SO this helped!! Thank you so much, love your vlog!!
Same for me. I'm always concerned about accidentally killing beneficial insects, especially bees. I'm always interested in videos about pest and disease control in the garden.
This video has given me hope! I am spraying right away...this i definitely my problem and it's only the beginning of August! I have NO petunia or geranium blooms, but plenty of green foliage. Worth a shot.
Thank you so much for this video! I've noticed holes in my plants and herbs lately. Since I am a very new gardener, I wasn't sure what was causing the holes. Just went outside at 10 pm and saw a budworm on my coleus. Thanks to you and Aaron, I know what to do! 😁😁😁
Watching your video is always something new to learn. Keep up the good work. I’m loving this kind of video that’s showing real life plants issues and how to resolve them and the effect after a few months.
Thank you so much for this video! This was the first year that I grew supertunias and could not figure out what these green caterpillars were or how to get rid of them! You are a life saver! 💕🐛
Thanks so much for this informative video ...I have never sprayed for bud worms and I had quit planting petunias because of the damaged buds ...humm now I'll have to rethink adding petunias to my planters next year! Your planters look fantastic, what a huge difference the BT spray made!
WOW!!! I mean...just...WOW. What a recovery. I wouldn't have thought it was possible. I'm SO GLAD you did the follow up inside this video instead of posting a separate one 10 days later. I've tried to stop being amazed at how much you teach us and just take it as the norm, but...WOW! BTW... MY SHIRT AND MUG ARRIVED TODAY...so happy!
I had a budworm infestation earlier this summer but because I watch your channel faithfully I knew what to do. It's amazing how quickly the Supertunias bounce back. Thank you Laura for sharing all your knowledge with us!
Everyone where I live doesn't grow petunias or supertunias thos enormous. I really hope mine get like this. Stunning. Also, I have never heard of bud worms before so I don't *think* they are a problem where I live. Thank for the update!
Thanks Laura for all of your videos! i especially appreciate this one, as today I was debating how to take care of my no longer blooming petunias. Great foliage but few blooms Thanks for the info!!!
First, I cannot believe how full and beautiful the hayracks got!! Wow!! Secondly, this was an awesome teaching video, what a transformation in 10 days time, that is spectacular!! Beautiful plants and great job Laura!! Wow!!
Noticed budworms on my Vista Bubblegums after watching this video. Sprayed them with bt. First time I've ever noticed any after 3 years of having Supertunias! Thank you for the heads up! They are putting on nice new growth and buds. Hope the worms don't get them.
This is pretty cool i watched a couple of your videos this morning to see someone from my old stomping grounds i grew up in Nyssa and vale back in the 70's
Oh my goodness what an amazing transformation. Thank you for this video, I wouldn’t have thought to lift and spray underneath like that. It’s my first year gardening and your videos have been incredibly helpful and encouraging
The fence around the dumpster looks amazing, you were right, the black really does make it disappear. Also the update shot looked it it was a green screen for some reason 😂😂
Wow! What an amazing transformation. It's amazing such a little thing can make or break such a beautiful arrangement! I will definitely be on the lookout for these little guys to be on my plants. Thanks for the great tips and inspiration to keep on trucking through the later parts of the blooming season.
Astounding difference!!! They look like late May planters, NOT late September ❤ THAT is a testament to the longevity and blooming power of the Supertunia & to YOUR expertise in the garden & the water/fertilizer/maintenance schedule you have your garden on! Just gorgeous! 😍
THANK YOU!!!!! I’m somewhat of a novice flower gardener and I just assumed I or the heat was killing off my plants/blooms. I did see one of the worms on my plant but had no idea it was a ‘bad’ thing. Off to the store I go tomorrow!!! So helpful-thanks again!!!
I gave up on petunias this year due to the worms and saw all the ones you plant and wondered how you didn't have trouble with the worms. Now I will try them again next year knowing about this spray to control the worms. I think they were also in my snapdragons too, I will be buying this spray now.
I learnt about dealing with them the hard way... Wish I found your channel earlier.. However, excited to learn more about gardening by watching your videos. Thank you for posting these!
Wow this property is a dreammmm!!! Just breathtaking! Your flower arrangements are perfection! I am sprucing up my balcony wishing it could look like this😂😂😂
Thank you so much for your advice, and the complete way in which one can prepare the Thuricide Concentrate - even exactly how to go about it. This is so helpful for me. I have subscribed to your site and I will definitely keep watching, listening and doing. All the best, Alice B.
This video was super helpful! Budworms are eathing their way through my big basket of calibrachoa. I just picked off about 20 of them and threw them to the birds for a snack. Have ordered the spray but it won't be here for a few more days. So till then, I'm on Spot and Kill duty. Thanks again for the info. I really didn't know how to deal with this!
I started gardening for the first time this year and we had worms as well but I knew just what to treat them with from watching your videos and it totally took care of the problem!!! Ironically our worms were black and ate the leaves, not the flowers. Thank you thank you for your great videos! ❤
Looked fairly easy to do. Good to remember! I must have missed the video (?) Of your finished since around your big trash container. Last I saw you talked about it and now seen it it looks great!
thank you so much. I just got some bud worms on my petunia. Nice video, thanks for the follow up and the music at the end was uplifting and cool (thanks Aaron :) )
Goooodmorning!!!! Yes those little buggers they have been popping out everywhere they have not made it to our hanging baskets or pots but aphids,ants and mealy bugs sure have. I was so scared to use a store bought spraying formula we have been using water and soap but there is so many. Weather is not helping either so I feel a lot better with what you are using I’ll have to go find some for all the other insects. You know the second container you showed by trascan oh my how beautiful that area looks great job covering the trash can can’t even tell.💚💚💚💚💚💚
OMG I so love growing Petunias and when i first started noticing the worms i was totally grossed out by them that i kinda stopped planting them. Now that i know what to spray on them ill buy it because Petunias have such beautiful blooms =) Thank you!!
The cutworms literally wiped our Petunias off the planet, I didn’t want to spray anything because we’ve got a lot of bees that frequent our Crepe Myrtles so thank you for this!
I just found bud worms on my purple passion plant!! No flowers on this plant but they were really going to town on the foliage!! I picked them off and discarded them, there were only six or seven on a small plant... Checked it this morning and found nothing, so I'm hoping that will do the trick! If not for your knowledge on all things plant related I would not have known what was going on... Thanks so much for the info, and thanks for showing a shot of the bud worm, that was the confirming factor for me!!
I see that the trash surround has been completed. It looks great!
That fence that hids the garage bin looks great!!!
WOW I can't believe the difference. Glad you caught them in time. They look amazing.
Just discovered these stinkers in all of my petunias today! Never ever had this happen, will have to try this. Thank you ❤
great video. I see you got the fence up to cover the big garbage container. looks good.
Oh 1 Million Thank YOUS !! NOW I know what the heck was happening!!! Watch out cute Green worms 🐛 ❤️ Deb in California
I had reservations about the dumpster enclosure disappearing into the landscape when you mentioned it would be black but wow Laura it truly does! What a difference it makes
Love the consistent upload time!!! It’s such great motivation to get out of bed when I see a Garden Answer notification.
I just ordered some of this Thuricide for my petunias. Every summer they start out looking wonderful, then get attacked by the bud worm. People at our local greenhouses were no help, so I am so excited to see how this works. Thanks!

The amount of blooms on this plants are AMAZINGGGG.
What a difference! Love seeing the before and after.
Yea this what I have to do, spray the budworms. I usually never have this problem but this year is such a pain
Oh my! The difference after spraying is astounding! Just lovely.
When is a good time to prune forsythia?
I'd love a video on all the different kinds of natural pesticides and things like that you use.
No more visible trash container - woo hoo. Looks great 👍
Holy cow! What a difference!!
Thank you for doing a video on this. Pests in the garden are my biggest issue. I don’t like to spray harsh chemicals and the homemade remedies rarely work for me.

Wow, that's a real woman who can pick up a worm with her bare hands🙋♀️ I'm not there yet.❤
The dumpster cover looks great. Blends in nicely.
This video has given me hope! I am spraying right away...this i definitely my problem and it's only the beginning of August! I have NO petunia or geranium blooms, but plenty of green foliage. Worth a shot.
😲Wow girl!!! Amazing!!! 😍They look great now.
Thank you so much for this video! I've noticed holes in my plants and herbs lately. Since I am a very new gardener, I wasn't sure what was causing the holes. Just went outside at 10 pm and saw a budworm on my coleus. Thanks to you and Aaron, I know what to do! 😁😁😁
Wow! What a difference. Looks great!
Flowers are all the way to the ground. 😍😍😍 Including the ones in the hay racks. You are so gifted.
WOW! Big difference! Thank you! ~MG

I had been picking these and smaller worms off my petunias. I sprayed, they are still having holes and damaged blooms. Thanks for the video!
Everyone where I live doesn't grow petunias or supertunias thos enormous. I really hope mine get like this. Stunning. Also, I have never heard of bud worms before so I don't *think* they are a problem where I live. Thank for the update!
Wow! What’s a big difference! Totally worth the time and energy! Your plants are so lucky to have a mom like you Laura!! I adore you!!

I think we called them "inch worms."
Such a great video format, showing the before and after. They look great!
Wow, I have budworms in my yellow bells.. Thank you for the information.
I learnt about dealing with them the hard way... Wish I found your channel earlier.. However, excited to learn more about gardening by watching your videos. Thank you for posting these!
Amazing come back!
I can't believe how the plants in those hayracks have grown. They look like bushes. Amazing.
Hi Laura you have the magic touch! Thank you for inspiring us always!
Ohhh my supertunia revival. You have amazing powers 💜🌸 they look amazing!

I totally admire your job and the passion you have for it. ❤❤
Glad to see it works, my problem is snails lots of them especially after it rains. Laura, can you tell me what's good for them critters?

WOW!! Just WOW!!!!
Thank u! I love the way u teach. I have learned so much! 😻
Great info! They look so good now! Thankfully we have never had a case of them! 🚫🐛
Goooodmorning!!!! Yes those little buggers they have been popping out everywhere they have not made it to our hanging baskets or pots but aphids,ants and mealy bugs sure have.

You bring joy to my mornings!
That’s so funny. Just had my very first budworm infestation this week. I ended up pulling everything out and put my fall containers in.
The cutworms literally wiped our Petunias off the planet, I didn’t want to spray anything because we’ve got a lot of bees that frequent our Crepe Myrtles so thank you for this!
Julie R11, BT is safe for beneficial insects, including honey and bumble bees!
Great video and information. I love the color on those hedges. Thanks for sharing 👍🌼😊❤️.
wow looks so amazing love the blooms thanks for telling us about BT I well definitely us It next season on my melon plants to control the worms
I’m so glad I don’t have many bugs in my garden. I can’t bare to kill them 🐛🌿
Thank you, very interesting.
Always such great info! Thanks for sharing.

What do you use for aphids and mealy bugs that won't harm the bees?
