✨July 2024 Garden Tour✨

- Hi garden friends! July is a bit of a struggle in the garden for me here in Florida zone 10a. It’s very hot and humid and the perfect environment for pest and disease. 🥵🦟🐜🐌 I try my hardest not to spray and only use organic products so July and August are usually the worst months, everything is on survival mode.
This is also a good time to see what plants thrive in the heat and I appreciate those so much! Some that love the heat are Thryallis, Crepe Myrtle, Celosia, and Black Eyed Susans to name a few.

I feel you. It's hard to be out in the heat and humidity of florida.
I can’t wait for cooler weather. 🤞🏼🍂
Aww. I'm having trouble hearing you even with my speakers all the way up. Very pretty garden.
Oh no, I’m so sorry. Not sure why there are some that can’t hear me. 😕
Amazing work!
Thank you!
The crepe myrtle is pretty, I like the dark foliage. All the bugs are here because it didn't freeze last winter. I have had so much trouble this year but I also moved and my plants didn't like that.
Thank you! That’s right, I hadn’t thought about that but it makes sense. Now that we’re a zone warmer I wonder if this will be the norm. 😫
Hello! I love watching your garden tour videos. I'm in Chrystal River on Nature's Coast in zone 9a. I want to try my hand at putting in a small cut flower garden just for fun. Would you suggest direct sowing in a prepared bed at the end of August or perhaps prepare seeds indoors now and then replant outdoors? My first frost date is December 15th so I think I could get a pretty decent show but I am new to flower gardening and trying to learn all the things. Haha! Thank you!
Hi, thank you! I think either way is fine. I personally prefer direct sowing if possible especially with zinnias and sunflowers.
I do start pre sprouting my ranunculus in October, keep them inside and plant them in December.
@@FloridaCottageGarden thank you so much! So excited to get started!
@@emilymcclain591 you’re welcome! Hope you have an abundance of flowers.🌸💐🌼
Какая красота во дворе, супер 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you!
Oh wow! Thank you for answering my question! Well I guess it’s good to know I’m not alone. I’m looking forward to my first fall with roses. Your garden looks great by the way! Such a variety that you still have plants doing well.
You’ll love those Fall blooms! 🌹 Thank you!
Your rose garden is a treat to the eyes 💌🌹
Thank you!
The heat and humidity has been brutal - zone 10A also and it is survival of the fittest in our garden at this time. Ugh!
Same here. The heat and humidity drains my energy so waiting for cooler weather.🥵
It absolutely is survival of the fittest....it is dangerously hot, I miss being able to get outside, but I won't be back to active gardening until mid september
@@rootelation486 yes, I either come out early morning or late in the evening but not as often as I would like. Can’t wait for cooler weather, “feels like” 80’s would be great at this point, lol.
Hi there! First, I wanted to say that I’m learning a lot by watching your videos. Thank you so much!
QQ: When do you trim back your Blue Salvias? And do you recommend any specific variety? I’m planning to get some of them soon.
Thank you so much! My favorite salvia is Mystic Spires and Fashion Cherry. Mystic Spires takes well to a hard pruning, I don’t have a set schedule. I go by how the plant is doing. Sometimes when it’s really big and we have bad storms it tends to split down the middle so I prune it back, I also do it early Fall (September) because it has a lot of disease from the heat and rain. Fashion Cherry on the other hand I barely prune. I usually just trim it up a bit when it takes over my walkway but other than that I usually let it be. Hope this helps. You’re going to love adding salvias to your garden and the pollinators will appreciate them as well. Mine get visited daily by butterflies, bees and hummingbirds.
@@FloridaCottageGarden Thank you so much 😊 Can’t wait!
My heirloom roses are good. It's my miniature roses that are struggling a little
I have one heirloom rose and it is such a delight how low maintenance it is.
The weeds have really kicked my butt this year
Me too! They’re such a pain.
Which agastache are you growing? I have been looking for one that can make it, and none have worked...I've tried full sun, part sun.....shade, wet spots, dry spots, damp spots....they all die within 3 weeks
It’s Meant to Bee Queen Nectarine by Proven Winners. It’s an Agastache hybrid, full sun until about 2pm. The spot you put it in needs to drain well.
@FloridaCottageGarden haven't tried that one, it's on my list now. I only have one spot that doesn't drain, but I do have a few that don't go bone dry in 20 minutes. Thanks for the suggestion
@@rootelation486 you’re welcome.
Porters Weed not spider worts, great specimen nevertheless.
You’re absolutely correct, oops! 🫣
I couldn’t hear you on this video at all…even with a sound booster. Very sad.
Oh no, really? I answered your comment about Lady of Shalott in the video too. 😕 I tried to reply twice to your comment on my short about how your LOS barely blooms but for some reason it wouldn’t post. I was letting you know that mine for the 1st 3 years barely bloomed, it’s only until this year that it has started blooming more. A viewer also suggested to wrap the canes around an obelisk and I did, I think it will encourage lateral growth therefore more blooms.
@@FloridaCottageGarden I’ll try it! Mine is three years old this year. Everything else is looking as good as can be expected in my yard! Yours looks good!! I’m in zone 10a too but Southwest Florida, where Ian came in.
@@kelliwebb2870 thanks! Good luck with your LOS.
@@FloridaCottageGarden thank you. I trimmed it back about a month ago. It has a lot new growth but no blooms. And the leaves all look small.
@@kelliwebb2870 might be stressed from the heat. Hopefully it’ll bounce back once the cooler weather arrives.
