Hi @LilBitJo . Thanks for reaching out to us. Funny story about using a dremel ... when I used to try that, if I didn't hold the canna seeds in the pliers tight enough, the seeds would go flying all over the garage, lol. Still finding them to this day. ;-) Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Lmao oh yes me too. I tried the needle nose, and lost so many.. So I got brave, but carefully just hold them in my finger tips. Yes I've dremeled a finger couple times till I got the hang of it.. But one question still remains. Where is the best spot on the seed to scar it? Side or tip? I usually do the side, with success, and sometimes on the end/top, with success.

I hold seed with my fingers and rub across sandpaper on end of seed and works the charm. 😁🌱

Hi @butterfly717-ho9mt . Thanks for the compliment and thanks for reaching out to us. Glad you enjoyed the video. We recently planted our 2024 Marigolds. You can check out the short here: czcams.com/users/shortsBKH5OHQBGyI?si=TCMVMJ1oZfrtFO8N . Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @goldriderlc . Thanks for reaching out to us. Glad to hear your Alaska canna is doing well. Funny, we just made a video about our Alaska canna just a few days ago. It must have been those horse steroids we were giving them over the winter, lol. ;-) You can check it out here: czcams.com/users/shortsL3p1TdLHkQg?si=es-CSRTEBKhH725B . Thanks for watching!

Hi @theexcitinglight1227 . Thanks for the comment. You could do that but it doesn't matter how little amount of dirt you have, weeds will still grow. But it is an interesting idea so that the roots wouldn't go too deep into the ground - more surface level weeds. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

@@jdgardensnj4563 cool cool, thanks for replying. you think the polymeric jointing sand could be colored?

Hi @user-mf5nf8su7f . Thanks for reaching out to us. We actually made a video on what to do if you find a rabbit's nest in your garden. You can check it out here: czcams.com/video/NLiuNTcKoP8/video.htmlsi=GtO_L8ZLwDTvqyel . And don't want to bury the lead ... the most important thing is to do NOTHING. And when they're that young, they won't be able to eat solid food. After watching the video and you're sure that the mother is not coming back, you can always check with your town's ASPCA or animal shelter, if they take them in. Good Luck! Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @JMasque . Thanks for reaching out. Yes but it can always be higher though ;-) Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @milagroslluisma3153 . Thanks for reaching out to us. We paid $360 a few years ago. But we just saw it on Amazon for cheaper (as of today, 6/9/24) for $339. You can check the link in the description in the video. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @HYTELES . Thanks for the comment. Yes, cannas can survive over the winter ... but you take a chance that they may not make it. That's why we always dig them up. But every now and then we miss some and come Spring, they pop back up again without any protection. But still, for us, we wouldn't want to take a chance on losing them. Thanks for reaching out and thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @AliBubba. Thanks for reaching out to us. No, you don't need the same ground prep that you do with traditional pavers. That's the beauty of the Walk Maker. It is truly a DIY project with very little surface prep. The only things you really have to do is remove any plant life and moderately level the ground, like I show in the video. The Walk Maker template forms to all the imperfections on the ground to give you a nice flat surface. If you're interested in doing this, be sure to watch out Follow Up video, which is a Q&A from viewers like you. You can see it here: czcams.com/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/video.htmlsi=TEfgq1pxu6W2ZsIk .

Hi @msingh1181 . Thanks for reaching out. Trust me, Dan always wears a mask when working with concrete. He just didn't do it for the video because you wouldn't be able to understand him. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @goldriderlc . Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for the comment. Yes, it is and we just uploaded another short about 2 hours ago, showing how well they're doing. :-) Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @goldriderlc . Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for the comment. Not sure how cold your winters get but if we leave them in the ground, we run the risk of losing them and we wouldn't want to take that chance. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @aaronreaka9024 . Thanks for reaching out to us. I'm assuming by "larvae" you mean the white part that grows out of the seeds when germinating - that's called the embryo. Canna seeds can be tricky. It's important that you have a good score on them to allow the embryo to grow out. Our suggestion to people is to do small batches at a time so you don't waste your seeds all at once, as you're getting your technique down. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

@@jdgardensnj4563 got 18 planted, ended up at 67% success with 11 plants!!

Hi @sybilmayo415 . Thanks for reaching out to us. We get that question alot. And yes, I think it would look amazing but probably more in a rustic or natural pathway setting. We have raised planter beds of pressure treated wood and I'm afraid that that look would just be out of place for us. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @0dysyeestanhope-wilkerson612 . Thanks for reaching out to us. Yes, the only seeds that would be viable are the black ones. As far as the brown seeds or mustard colored seeds, you either harvested them too early or maybe at the end of the season when the frost came in and the cannas were dying and their seeds weren't finished forming yet. From our experience, those seeds are not viable. And you would be correct - if they look like a raisin, throw them out. ;-) If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @goldriderlc . Sorry for the delayed response. Thank you so much for the order and thank you for your support. Jackie and Dan

Hi @francor.4881 . Thanks for reaching out. We don't use it commercially but we have gotten quite a few people commenting that they use it commercially and it works great! They mention that you should just keep the blade sharp. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @roberthall590 . Thanks for reaching out to us. Actually, it's alot simpler than you think. The blocks are not connected to each other so it's not like a long concrete slab. You can remove any individual stone after it's pressed. We actually did a video where we redid Garden East and we re-used the stones. You can see that video here: czcams.com/video/aWTEBTSUNJA/video.htmlsi=9_NUelAgE71Hlbds . So it would be as easy as pulling out the stones and throwing them in a wheelbarrow. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

You're welcome 😊

Hi @milalodge364 . Thanks for reaching out. Yes, they were very cute but also very loud. ;-) Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan

Hi @goldrideric, thank for reaching out! Be careful they can become addictive, we have over 70 varieties and always looking for more! :) Thanks for watching, Jackie & Dan

Just got my Alaska Canna Lily in today looks super healthy quick delivery . I am very happy with J&D Gardens. We'll be ordering more plants for sure .I appreciate the extra bonus Aferican Marigold seeds I will definitely be planting them.

Hi @ernestfultz6159 . Sorry for the delayed response. Well, we start growing everything early in our greenhouse. But we don't plant in the ground till around May 20th, sometimes earlier - depending on the last frost. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

@@jdgardensnj4563 TYSM! I sure will!

Hi @angelaevans6649 . Sorry for the delayed response. If you plan on doing ALOT of concrete, it is an invaluable tool. It'll save you a TON of work...and probably a lot cheaper than renting it. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan

Hi @exceptionaleventsbyelisa1931 . Sorry for the delayed response. It really is a great DIY project. As far as your question on slanting, that won't be a problem. The mold follows the contours of the ground. So it will go along with the slant. The key is to make sure your concrete mixture isn't that soupy, so that when you pull the mold off, the blocks stay formed. As far as where to find it, you can get them at Home Depot or Lowes or we have links to all of them in the video description. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us.
