Tomato question: I'm growing tomatoes for the first time this season and I've started off very small with only two plants- I have planted a cherry tomato and a slicer tomato, both plants are growing great, getting good amounts of water and the right amount of sunlight and are both flowering quite a bit! My cherry tomato plant is producing great fruit but my slicer tomato plant isn't setting fruit after flowering- I read the tag thinking it might've needed to be planted with another type of slicer to cross pollinate but there wasn't any information about that. What can I do to fix this?

Laura, I would LOVE for you to do a whole video about which annuals, and perennials too, can take more cold and which need to wait for warmer temps to be planted. I ordered from PW for the first time this year, a big order (for me, and mostly annuals which I have very little experience with. It arrived on April 22, which meant it was supposed to be OK to go in the ground then. But it really wasn't because we've had this crazy cold (I'm in Connecticut. So. I scrambled to cover them. Some are doing OK; some are not. I'd LOVE to learn more about which plants really need to wait.

The supertunia with the dark throat looks kind of like the night sky. It will be very pretty in the garden. I'm doing more white in my balcony planters and found some lovely white cosmos as well as the alyssum. I'm also doing purple and light yellow. The cleome(pronounced cleohm) is very beautiful but doesn't it smell terrible? Maybe there are different varieties but one that I came into contact with smelled like skunk to me! Your moon garden would be amazing with some of the large dahlias. They would look like moons along the garden path. : )

Your boxwoods look so wonderful and healthy! I'd like to add a boxwood hedge here in zone 9, but I've read boxwoods can't tolerate the zone 9 all day sun and don't like clay soil. You seem to have figured out how to grow beautiful boxwoods in clay and heat! What is your boxwood secret? Have you found some cultivars more heat and clay tolerant? (P. S. I've started watching your videos rather than the news! Thank you for putting so much beauty and positive energy into the world)

I have never even considered putting white flowers in my yard but now, im obsessed with the idea. I never knew that white and blue flowers actually bring cooling to very hot areas like my backyard. which has NO SHADE ( except in my retaining wall that butts up to our back fence, that gets morning sun and is shaded in the afternoon) I've got Full Hot California Sun All Day in my backyard! Finding things to plant back there has been challenging to say the least.

Help! No matter what I do I cannot repel ants in or around my pots. I have sprayed, set up traps, used vinegar, etc and I still find them in my pots. What is causing my pots to attract ants and what can I do to permanently keep them away. Need help! I work really hard to produce beautiful pots and the ants kill them. Any advise u can provide would be greatly appreciated. Btw. A big fan here. Keep up the awesome and informative videos.

Love all your gardening information! You both do such a great job. I would really appreciate it if you would please mention the plant zone more frequently when talking about plants/trees. I am a zone 9 in Central California and summer temps are frequently 100 to 110 degrees. So your zone 5 plants won't always grow in my area. But, if I see a plant that I would like to try I just look the zone info up before deciding. Thank you again.

Welp. guess who was intrigued and headed over to her local garden center yesterday at lunch to purchase all things moon garden inspired. ME! LOL! I just planted up a small planter on my back deck and let me tell you. they are beautiful! I will be purchasing another couple white specimens to put in my front gardens as well. Thanks for the inspiration as usual Laura! PS. a video on amending soil with gypsum would be SUPER appreciated!

Supertunia latte is totally a moon garden plant. Its perfect! The entire point of a moon garden is for the petals and foliage to glow and reflect moonlight. so literally anything that does that is a moon garden plant. Deep purples and blues, yellows, white, silver, any extra-broad leaf such as those giant hostas you have (coast to coast) would count. Instead of thinking all white think reflective surfaces instead
