Pinching & Planting Snapdragons + a Few More Flower Seedlings! Garden Answer Gail: Please, can you use one of these segments to address gophers? They are the plague of any gardening here in north-central WA state. Go to work with 8 inch peas, come home to holes in the ground. Wonder why the good sized pear tree is leaning? Inspect and push it over. gophers ate the roots off. They destroy roses, trees, garden plants. I do trap them with cinch traps (nasty things, dangerous, but it's touch and go and they often outsmart me. A list of plants that are gopher-resistant would be helpful. I'll start the list: Lavender. Go! (Thank you)

My word. girl I look at you and your tremendous abilities to persevere in the extreme climate you're dealing with and I am blown away and impressed by your stamina and energy! It is such a joy to see and listen to you do what you love and to show us how easy, a task it is. Keep up the good work and you have inspired the heck out of me. I live in Canada and there's only a small window of sunshine and gardening enjoyment, so thank you for the smile you put on my face.

pronounced 'cerinth ee' in England but you US folks do have some amusing variations on plant names (daaaahhhhlias - in UK its day-lee-ah - hydraaaaangers -in uk its hyde-rangers) I sometimes walk around my garden pronouncing the plants the US way just for a lark simple things do, after all, please simple minds and I am easily amused plus I watch so MANY (nearly all) of your videos, so I guess I'm being gradually subverted!

I have a question about pinching. This year I grew alyssum from seed. They started forming flower buds very quickly, so soon after I saw it, I pinched them. Well. they did not appreciate it. They were stunted for quite a while and looked overal sad. Should I have let them start blooming and then pinch them? Or not pinch alyssum at all? I'm curious about your thoughts on this.

Laura you are such an inspiration! I'm 57 and suddenly I have a power auger, I've repaired and painted my fence, and planted so many new things. My husband and I have a standing joke now that I'm a professional gardener. Thank you for reviving my love of gardening and helping me realize that I am totally capable of the work it takes for a beautiful space.

Thanks for the demo using drip tape, you make me want to explore this product! I am tired of dragging the hose. The demo on snipping annuals is something I was afraid to do. Often when we purchase them in our area they are already throwing blooms. I will try it on Vinca and Silvia too. I hope I don't kill them!

Hi Laura, just wondering if you have planted your sunflowers yet. You inspired me last year to plant them for the first time and mine are up already. I have learned so much from you since watching. My husband says, that Laura girl is costing me a lot of money! Thanks for sharing your life with us.

Wow! That is a lot of seedlings! As a former plant killer this is my second year growing anything ever. I'm about to start more trays of snapdragons since I just learned here in zone 8 we can pretty much grow them all year long! can't wait to see how your garden looks by the end of summer.

I absolutely LOVE that you have both flowers and vegetables intermixed in rows in your new property. It is already gorgeous and is just going to get more so - even with your weather/wind/temp challenges. I am very much looking forward to seeing your progress, you are such an inspiration.

Laura! I love your videos, I learn so much and your love for what you do is admirable. But I'm dying watching you in that heat with two layers of shirts and long sleeve and your beautiful hair on your neck and in your face! Put your hair up and a cool tshirt on love! Your face is all red
