April Freeze & Snow || Hanging Basket With my Sister || Planning a Colorful Garden Bed

This week's vlog spans a couple of weeks and goes back to the random cold snap that set a 100 year record in my area. I protected the plants from snow as much as I could which seemed to work out as cold damage to the plants was minimal. Later I tossed together an easy hanging basket for my sister who was in town visiting. The hanging basket had a pink dragon wing begonia in the center, diamond frost euphorbia, creeping jenny and supetunia vista bubblegum from proven winners. The basket is quite full and I told my sister to utilize the creeping jenny in some of her other pots when space becomes tight. I forgot to mention that in the video, oops. Lastly I spent a lot of the vlog setting out and planning a colorful garden bed. I want to fill this particular bed with pink and orange sunpatiens, a row of colorful lantana, and a groundcover of tradescantia pallida. This year I'm using a combo of regular tradescantia pallida with the pink stripe or variegated tradescantia pallida. The pink stripe has amazing pink variegation, but doesn't grow as vigorously or reliably. I also talked about using some ruellia, verbena and plans for the Blue my Mind Evolvulus. Lastly I showed my adonidia palms aka christmas palms and foxtail palms then talked about their winter care and spider mite treatment and damage.
