Join me for a "Garden Diary" walk-through as I prep for an upcoming garden tour. From managing unexpected pest outbreaks to dealing with the "tulip bust" of the season, I’m sharing exactly what’s on my to-do list right now and how I’m pivoting after a wacky spring. Whether you're dealing with a sudden heatwave or recovery from a late freeze, there’s always something to do (and something to learn) in the garden. 🕒 In This Video: 00:00 - Pest Control: Mixing a fresh batch of insecticidal soap to treat scale on olive and bay trees. 00:53 - The Tulip Bust: Why this year was a struggle for bulbs and the importance of keeping a garden journal. 02:27 - Hard Pruning & Rehab: Deciding the fate of frozen geraniums and moving plants to "hospital rehab." 03:09 - Seasonal Swaps: Pulling leggy pansies and violas to make room for hot-weather annuals. 05:20 - Herb Garden Update: Why I prefer parsley over cilantro and my plans for basil seeds. 07:54 - Feeding & Staging: When to fertilize after a freeze and how I stage my terracotta pot backdrop. 13:00 - Front Yard Success: Celebrating the Snowball Viburnum and why Encore Azaleas are a lifesaver. 22:45 - Lawn Care Struggles: Dealing with spotty perennial rye and prepping the Bermuda grass for summer. 25:40 - The Allium Show: A look at the different varieties finally starting to bud. 🌸 Key Takeaways & Tips: Watch for Scale: If you see white spots on your woody plants, it might be scale. A simple spritz of insecticidal soap can do wonders. Encore Azaleas: These are a "must-have" because even if the spring blooms get nipped by frost, you’ll still get a show in late summer and fall. Don't Rush the Feed: I wait a few days after a hard freeze before fertilizing to let the plants adapt and avoid stressing new, tender growth. The Power of Observation: Using your phone's photo album to compare this year's growth to last year's is the best way to understand your garden's rhythm. 💬 Question of the Day: What is your favorite herb to grow in your garden? I’m a huge fan of parsley for its durability, but I’d love to hear what’s thriving in your neck of the woods! 🔗 Resources Mentioned: Workx Battery Operated Pruners: https://www.lowes.com/pd/WORX-5-in-Titanium-Bypass-Lopper/5014634085 Southern Living Plant Collection: (Moondance Hydrangeas & Diamond Spire Gardenias)https://southernlivingplants.com/the-collection/plant/diamond-spire-gardenia/ Local Tip: Check out the Will Rogers Gardens plant sale if you're looking for scented geraniums!
