This #shorts gardening video shows you how to identify the Canna lily seed pod, harvest the seed pods, and prepare them to sprout by dropping them in boiling water for a few minutes! Once the hard seed coat of the Canna is placed in hot water, the seed coat will crack. Cracking the canna lily seed coat is vital because it will help the seed sprout!

Landscaper Shirley Bovshow checks out the 2021 Costco Yardistry Patio Gazebo Kit to see if it's a "deal or no deal in this #shorts video." The cedarwood kit comes with all pre-stained, pre-drilled patio structure materials and all the hardware to assemble it. The patio or gazebo kit is priced at $1600 but there are additional costs. You may need to pay for delivery for the 3 boxes that weigh in at 800 pounds. IF you are not comfortable putting the patio structure together on your own, you will need to hire a handy person or crew to assemble it. The professional contractor that Costco recommends in Los Angeles charges $700 and they send out 4 men and spend 1/2 a day to assemble. You can do it yourself but you must be very organized and patient. Another recommendation: You should have a concrete pad to put the patio or gazebo on. The kit has 9 x 6 posts with braces for attaching to a concrete footing. Check out all of Shirley's videos. 100% REPLY RATE to all questions in English and Spanish.

OPTIONAL- Seedling heating mat to maintain 75 degrees for optimal seed germination OPTIONAL- Plant grow lights or LED light with “daylight” bulbs By growing a flat of wheatgrass every 7 days, aficionados can save money on that daily, $3- to $5 dollar per ounce shot of wheatgrass.

Learn how to rescue an over watered plant by repotting it in the #shorts video. Shirley Bovshow demonstrates how to repot an indoor Oregano plant with a saturated root ball that is causing the Oregano leaves to turn brown, and look dried and crispy! It's ironic but many overwatered plants look like dried up plants that need to be watered. The leaves of over watered plants may turn yellow and fall off of the plant, or they may turn black or brown and feel crispy and dry! When a plant's rootball is saturated with water, you need to take immediate action because the plant is not able to take up water or oxygen and the plant will suffocate! Repotting a plant that has been overwatered is the answer! 1. Select a slightly larger pot 2. Use well draining potting soil or add 1/3 volume of perlite or sand to the potting mix 3. Cut the damaged leaves off but don't remove ALL the leaves. Plants need leaves to process energy. 4. Set the repotted plant in a shady spot out of direct sunshine. 5. DO NOT WATER until the soil has dried! BTW- Do you have a plant or gardening question but don't know who to ask? ASK SHIRLEY!
