  1. Excellent as always. Good idea for all of my tomatoes. Looking forward for the weather to be cooler and do the picnic. I had a real " fruit " cherry tree my perfect spot.

  2. Really nice video with some great tips except DO NOT TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT WITERCREEPER! That is one of the most invasive thugs you can plant in your garden. It gets into wild areas and forms a monoculture, pushing out native plants on the forest floor. At the very least consider using a native sedge such as Blue Zinger if your property borders a wild area.

  3. What a great video!! I have to get some winter creeper!! The paint can craft is an awesome idea.
    The picnic tips are so fantastic. I never would have thought of that!! The little mason jars.. portioned for each guest!! Fantastic!! Thanks so much Allen

  4. I love your shows but I gotta tell you, your music is distracting and at times annoying. I garden to calm down and relax.

  5. Those ferns are beautiful. I love ferns 🌿but it’s too hot and dry where I live

  6. Sun Impatiens in full sun? Wow! They do best in partial sun, away from hot afternoon sun in my Seattle area.

  7. Thanks P Allen! I can't wait to try the paint can craft!!!! I met you at a Mother Earth News Fair event & love everything that I have learned from you!
