    I didn’t have any of the information you provide on caring for your plants 30 years ago. I learned all of these things on my own by just trial and error. I bought all kinds of gardening books, and the information I needed was sparse. I live in zone 5B, and most of your care advice doesn’t differ from your zone 7. Any beginner watching should take this woman’s knowledge and apply it. You will be years ahead of gaining the experience necessary to be a successful gardener. 👩‍🌾
  • Love this, it's always amazing to see how quickly annuals rebound from a trimming. Cannot wait to see the update
  • I just gave my petunias a second haircut yesterday! I’m from Indiana and I’ve never had to do it twice in a season before! Fingers crossed they bounce back as well as the first haircut! Can’t wait to see updates on these! It’s so satisfying! 🌸
  • I followed your instructions on wacking as you saying my containers of petunias was afraid but they have just blown up and beautiful! Jenny you are the best !!!❤
  • I been giving my plants a severe prune over the last week. Things had gone wild! 😂
  • @patriceg1100
    Love when you do this! Standing there for a long time hand pruning in the muggy hot weather, not fun.
  • Gosh jenny, this is so satisfying to watch, I just love it when you whack things back. You are just the best!,,,,
  • @Suzanne-mi8wk
    Thank you for showing the before and after pictures from last year. You inspired me to just do it! Agh! I gave my annuals a good cut back!
  • I saw the hummingbirds flitting around. Just so satisfying to watch you prune.

    Hello, Jenny❤. Call me “woopsy” but I get so much satisfaction whacking back overgrowth in my garden. I’ve followed your lead and the results have been more than stellar!! Thank you sooo much for continuing garden education ❤! Love and Blessings!
  • I scalped a giant pot of petunias and verbena..left nothing but stems and leaves and fed them, and wow, the second bloom was deeper colored and a more rounded pretty shape than the original bloom.

    The after of that deck box cut back looked great!!!! They were a bit wild at start🤣. Looking forward to what they look like in two weeks they’ll be beautiful.
  • I think next year you should do vermillionair and Salvia, catmint, foxglove. Just have a complete hummingbird buffet. The entertainment factor would be a bonus. Some fushia and superbells in baskets. Big fun. Then you wouldn't have to fill the feeder at all.

    Everything looks so lush and green, the lawn and trees, sooo beautiful !!!
  • Jenny, this is wild, such a big lesson for me. I’ve never been big on pruning mostly because we get so dang hot in August. I figured I had to just let those raggedy plants go. But we have a long growing season too so this is really helpful to understand how to get the most out of even the annuals. Thank you!
  • I love that you show each year how and when to do this. Last year I did this with my petunias and they came back so pretty. Going to work on that today!
  • @adoster2008
    Love to watch a good annual punning video. 😊
  • @allyrose2890
    I love watching you do this each year. LOL! So pretty when it grows back!
  • I have plated all impatiens and let me tell you they do amazing, so so much colour! Not trimming no dead heading!
