🌿Shalom fellow Gardeners, thank you all for the videos you share with us, they are such a blessing, watching your beautiful family garden together is beautiful., Im watching this episode now, a thought for you he weeds and knees , maybe put cardboard and ground cloth in-between the rows and even each plant. I hope this helps, Happy Gardening and weeding, you are making a difference in our World, thank you again. Ps. I hope we can see more from Chloe the Savvy daughter on how her plants are doing. 🌿
Just watched your daughters latest video. She's not afraid of working up a little sweat to reach her goals, she will do good in life. GREAT JOB MOM AND DAD! 👍😀
Something that might help with the weeding (did for me with row crops) is a collinear hoe. Johnny’s sells a couple sizes. It also saves your back and gets you off the ground away from the ants. It’s basically like a long razor blade. So if your plantings are somewhat evenly spaced you can make quick work of it. Because it goes so much faster you can do a quick pas since a week and keep them at bay and have an easier time getting them before they get too large. Added bonus is it basically does a chop and drop so they become the mulch to keep moisture in and also help keep further weeds at bay. Highly recommend! Worth the $50!
You guys are doing a great job growing these plants. I have seen lots of nurseries.. My first job was in a nursery. I liked how you presented your plants. Everything looked perfect, healthy and at a great price. I had not thought about roping off others areas that were not sale ready. To me, it gave the impression that everything is top notch. I think that is the magic of a special sale. Well worth driving an hour.
On the green giants, you might think about a very heavy mulch. We can utilize free mulch from a semi-local municipality. You can also use the black ground cover (next year), burnholes in it and then plant your green giants. Very easy to do and effective. Your info on the growth with overhead watering is very encouraging. Great job.
I could definitely build the bed different. The way it is now, the GG are packed in pretty tight, just 4-6" between each plant. In order to mulch it heavily, I would have to space them out a good bit more or the tiny plants get crushed when applying mulch. Just thinking next year of a completely different setup for it.
Thanks so much for another great garden video and a great garden update. I don’t know how you guys can handle being outside in all this heat. You guys are tough. Love seeing the dog and thanks for the update. Hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy and Debbie keep these awesome gardening videos coming my way.
When we dealt with fire ants in Texas, we would routinely use a lawn spreader with Amdro fire ant killer on a regular basis, like monthly. It definitely kept them out of our lawn and pastures especially since we had young kids.
It’s like you have a great plant cell and some great plants to share and thanks for all the great information I’m thinking about trying to sell some cuttings off my succulents maybe in a few months, so I guess I better get busy and start planting because it’s too hot to do much of anything else and succulents. You’re pretty tough as long as you don’t have them out in the sun too much.
I would recommend for in the ground beds, laying down cardboard and then heavily mulching over top. You can just cut holes in the cardboard layer where you want to plant, this will significantly reduce your weed pressure! Im not sure if you have costco in Arkansas, but they will give you their pallet spacers for free!
@@twohomesteads6512 In the long run it saves on the weeding labor though! And its better for your soil than weed fabric. The fabric eventually lets weed through, then its a pain to replace because you have to dig it up! With cardboard, it decomposes and you can just get more for free. You dont have to disturb the soil so you dont destroy the soil microbiome, which will help your plants access soil nutrients too! We battle a lot of english ivy and Himalayan blackberry here, and this strategy has been a life saver.
@@LittleSpaceCase Oh I totally agree. My sister and I used it once years ago for our nursery. Don't plan on doing it again. It was awful to get up when the weeds grew into it.
Great video, when do I take my limelight hydrangeas out of the mist? They have roots. What do I do next? Can you do video on the rose a Sharon that is behind you? As always thanks for the help.
Advice for ants- pouring a big pot of boiling water on the nest has really helped me get rid of them without chemicals. This only works if they aren’t mounding in your pots, but thought I’d mention it. Thank you for your great videos!
nice video .I have 250 arborvite cutting that i hope will root. we cut them from trees we planted 25 years ago that are now about 16 feet tall. thank you for the videos about propagation they really help us. good luck with all you do
From whay I've heatd from other growers is that werds can be mostly taken care of by planting the cuttings much closer. About an inch between each I think. The plants shade the soil out and outcompete the weeds.
@savvydirtfarmer Good point! Green giants do grow fast. Would weed barrier work? It would take a lot longer to stick them and might make harvesting them more difficult, but it would sure help with weeding. Otherwise, perhaps solarizing the sand would help if you can do without that space for a month. Sorry for the atrocious spelling previously. The keyboard on my phone is too small, apparently.
So much good stuff in this video! Request: Please do an update next Spring on what did/did not over-winter for you. For me, I bought 72 counts of various coneflower that did not do well over winter, along with butterfly weed and swamp milkweed. I am going to setup a hoop house this winter, so hoping to have better success. I’m in SE PA and I hear you on the rain bringing those weeds! Thankfully we don’t have fire ants, but my arm is covered in a nice fire-red poison ivy rash! Such a good reminder to sell whatever is looking good at that moment - I need to change my mindset to have smaller ‘flash’ sales throughout the summer. Keep these videos coming… they keep me so motivated!
Did that last time we weeded about a month ago… didn’t help. Probably didn’t add enough. Hard to put down a thick mat of mulch when I have the trees planted so close together.
@savvydirtfarmer 4-6 inches is recommended for weed suppression. It adds up real fast. If you didn't have the ant problem you could do a cardboard layer, then the mulch, but I'm pretty sure it would make the ant problem worse. Dawn dish soap kills on contact, but gotta be careful around the plants. Our ant problem got so bad we had to get a professional. Even with a professional, we are still fighting them, but they stay outside. I come from the land of hard water, so we tend to focus on drip instead of overhead watering. I'm curious if hard water deposits aren't a concern there? I'll admit I'm a lil jelly if that's the case, we're on well water and it's a pain.
For the ant problem recommend spread dried molasses pellets. I did this to my place and it worked did this about a year ago. Got this idea from dirt doctor, also tractor supply sells 50 pound bag.
My weeding was cut by 99% by using Pine mulch around the plant and anywhere I don’t want weeds. Helps with moisture retention and the mulch slowly decomposes into soil. I put a new thin layer on top every spring. (Buying by the truck load saves over bagged. Also it’s delivered right to where I need it).
Just repotted my first elderberry plants I started back in February. Early early spring seems to be the better time to collect and plant elderberry cuttings. I took a bunch in may and only half of them rooted. I’m going to get that 2nd batch repotted before it gets cold. My first batch of 6 was 100% success rate so I’m still feeling good 😊
The nursery is looking so good. The background is pretty .I hope John is doing well it's been a while since we have seen him he's a cutie. I think Chloe is great she's really good at explaining things. We have ants everywhere I'm in the desert we had weeds everywhere but for the last year-and-a-half I've used tarps that I'm set for about six weeks and now we have very few weeds.
It’s amazing to see the results of all of your hard work! When you take cuttings (not the GG) this summer and put them in your flats, are you leaving them in there til the spring to pot up? Keep up the great work!! Eric
Could you make a 2x12 frame on top of the ground cloth and fill it with mulch for the green giants? No weeds or ants and the giants would be easier to lift for sale.
Congratulations on the amazing growth of your nursery. So happy for you and your whole family. I do have a question. Is a liner and a root cutting the same thing? If I buy root cuttings, can I plant them directly into trade gallon pots with the ground hardwood mulch/pine bark mixture. Thank you.
The terminology can be confusing. A ‘liner’ can be a rooted cutting, plug, or any small plant destined to be grown larger. I bought 200 trade gallon sized plants from a wholesale nursery a couple of months ago. He called them liners. But… he grows and sells 5+ gallon plants.
I see you have many wood shade structures, do you have a video to build those? I like the look better than the hoop ones. We are in the California foothills near Yosemite and it gets to 100 in the summer and is dry, it's a must to have shade cloth. I want to expand my garden and would like to have a beautiful yard at the same time.
Where do you get your plus? Really enjoyed your videos, I'm building a nursery from scratch, and wowzers is it a chore especially in this Texas heat!! Blessings and thank you for sharing ❤
Hi guys, we have gotten rid off our whole backyard lawn and WEEDS by putting down landscape fabric, then cardboard and topped with 3-4 inches of mulch (we use tree clippings). You can put down landscape fabric then cut or burn holes for growing your hydrangeas and other plants and you will have no issues with pulling out weeds. Give it a go. Good luck guys.
Does work in the short term. Long term, weeds grow in the mulch and root right through the landscape fabric. Eventually it's a nightmare to tear out. Been there on that one.
The theory is that when you break down water molecules i.e. your overhead sprinklers, those water molecules are readily absorbed by the roots which results in better growth of plants. How about a detailed video of the parts that went into your new mist system and where to get them. Wishing you continued success in your project.
tip to get deal with ants...buy orange oil (medina) an ounce in a gallon of water with two teaspoons of blue dishsoap...mix and pour first around the mount and then over the entrace to the mount...u can use maybe half of gallon in each mount...repeat as needed...the good thing is that is natural
Always look forward to your videos. I've not only learned a lot but greatly appreciate all the motivation and encouragement you wholeheartedly offer everyone. God bless.
I just got a ruby slippers oak leaf hydrangea. Do you have a video of propagating oak leaf hydrangeas? The leaves are so big and I'm wondering how much leaf you cut off before sticking it. Also can you still stick these without a leaf node in the dirt?
I worked at nursery years ago, they used a systemic weed control it was like a powder you put on the plants and it stops things from germinating so you couldn't use it on seeds cuz it would stop them from germinating. They use an ant killer called other something sorry lol I don't remember the name. But it worked great and we're here in Florida. My mom and I have started our own small nursery but because of where we live and be hard for customers to get to us so we take our plants to flea market. I was wondering about where you guys get your pots and soil, I saw in another video of yours when you talked about it but I'm not that good with computers stuff so I wasn't able to find the link. I absolutely love y'all's channel, your so helpful. Thanks a million, keep up the amazing work because you have to love plants cuz it's a lot of hard work especially the hotter it gets lol
Do you keep your oak leaf hydrangeas in the full sun or in your shade house? I kept mine in my shade house and they didn’t really grow like I thought they would. Thanks ❤
Good to see your nursery is growing so amazingly fast and lush! I'm sure it doesn't feel that fast to you with all the hard, hot work, but from an outside look, I hope my retirement nursery builds like your is! So happy your family is well and the blessings are pouring in from God! 💜
Keep up the great work. Here is a quote I heard recently. "If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans". My plants have been surprising me this season. Hostas haven't done very well this year and I have mums already blooming which usually start in late August early September. I gave up planning g things and just appreciate the different seasons and blessings from heaven. One year something does very well and the next not so good but don't give up on them. It could be God has other plans that year. More water less sun or more sun. It's all in His hands. We can help but He is in control. Don't get discouraged if things don't work one year. They may work perfectly the next. Just some advice I have learned over the year in my growing plants.
I love Hydrangeas, but the don't seem to like the dry sunny heat we get here. Even watering daily, the sun just seems to burn them. It there such a hydrangeas that can handle the dry hot sunny summers here?
I was just wondering if there was a variety that will grow in sunny, hot dry climates. I'm in CA in the foothills near Yosemite. I grew them in the bay area where the weather is much more mild. The ones I planted in the sun burned up. The ones I planted in shade did wonderfully. Near the ocean friends grow them like weeds! They seem to like moisture and shade.
@@mariposi602 The best bet is probably any of the Pabicle varieties... Limelight, silver dollar, phantom, countless relatively new, patented, varieties like strawberry vanilla, little lime, etc....

Thanks for watching!
Great video, when do I take my limelight hydrangeas out of the mist? They have roots. What do I do next? Can you do video on the rose a Sharon that is behind you? As always thanks for the help.
Cut your mist time back some to wean them off of it. Keep mostly shaded. In a week or two, take out of mist completely, mostly shade.

Thanks for the update. So glad y'all are doing good!!!!!
regarding battling weeds in the arborvitae bed, please consider laying down plastic before planting, like tomato farmers
Would help with weeds for sure. but makes the trees very hard to get out of the ground at the end of the year
nice video .I have 250 arborvite cutting that i hope will root. we cut them from trees we planted 25 years ago that are now about 16 feet tall. thank you for the videos about propagation they really help us. good luck with all you do

Spacing does matter, but no way you'd get away with 1" spacing on green giants... they would hurt each other, as they grow really fast.

Yes. Knew about the weather. No family in immediate area. Moved to be *closer* to family and start a business. Land is affordable here.

I put a new thin layer on top every spring. (Buying by the truck load saves over bagged. Also it’s delivered right to where I need it).

Will pot late winter/very early Spring BEFORE they start waking up
Hydrangea speed growth, Lord giving you a confirmation:)
Could you make a 2x12 frame on top of the ground cloth and fill it with mulch for the green giants? No weeds or ants and the giants would be easier to lift for sale.
Could, for sure. Considering doing something like that next year.
I mulch with grass clippings- no weeds… 😁

I want to know how you fertilize mass pots , like all of your hydrangeas .

I don’t have a video. I just find a shade cloth of whatever size, and build a simple wooden frame under it to fit it.
Have you tried laying down the weed barrier and make holes for the green giants? I’ve seen people burn round holes in that barrier. It might help?
Have not tried… would certainly be better than current setup

Not sure where “here” is, but look around you. Are people successfully growing them in your neighborhood, town, county? That’s really your answer.

The ones I planted in the sun burned up. The ones I planted in shade did wonderfully. Near the ocean friends grow them like weeds! They seem to like moisture and shade.
