What growing zone are you in in Mesa, Az?
❤❤❤❤good morning ❤❤❤❤
🎉 ❤Lol I wish it was that time of here in southern Mb Canada
Tips❤ thank you you're helping me have my best garden year ever!
Thanks Angela! First I have heard of Nutrient Plus. Any ideas about how to obtain this product? I'm not finding it online so far.
Kind of unbelievable people still use weed torches with all the risks associated with fire. You can burn down multiple homes with just an ember. 3 homes in my neighborhood have burned because of people torching weeds and thinking they are out. Also doesn't kill the roots.
Wishes if open Gardens Tours if live yours Neighborhood to come to learning.if 🕙.
So helpful for me! Thank you!
What growing zone are you in? Great video
We got a cold spell here in Las Vegas. A lot of my seedlings I just planted didn't make it. Oh well..
Great info!
For another great garden tour and some great garden tips hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie
Oh my gosh, how big is your lot? Were you a gardener when you moved in? I have a little bug of gardening, but my trees are so mature. I have quite a bit of shade then in summer, intense sun I’m in Mesa also. Just trying to figure out what to do in my backyard.
Great video, as usual!
Thanks for the lemongrass info, Angela!
Thanks Angela! I live in Arizona too! This is such a great channel! I come from a family of gardeners so I can’t say no to it because I love it! I’m trying to plant more seeds in my pots and I’m keeping the other stuff going

Hi. Please could you do more on peach tree- pruning, feeding schedule for peach trees, saving the tree from pests, saving the fruit from pests, watering schedule, etc. I had 2 peach trees, very young, lost one to pests and diseases and the other one only started to bloom last year, but no bloom this year, not 1! I'm presuming my tree needs more care before it can produce fruit!
💚👍
Thanks for the checklist!
Angela, can you recommend a good ground cover for zone 12? Hot Philippines.
