🎥 Recording & Recap of Q&A In The Classroom! (5/1)

🔥

You guys brought such great energy, and I just love talking to y'all live!

The full replay and written recap are now live in the classroom here 👉 #Flower Pinching + May 1st, 2026 Q&A

Here's what we covered:

Why pinching and pruning your flowers actually gives you MORE blooms (and the science behind why it works. Hint, hint: apical dominance)
The difference between pinching and deadheading, and when to do each
Determinate vs indeterminate tomatoes — and why the pruning advice is different for each
What to actually do with those tomato suckers everyone says to remove (spoiler: don't just yank them)
When to remove early tomato blossoms, and when to just leave them alone
Bare-root strawberries — can you plant them when you still have frost? (yes, we talked about why)
Liquid vs granular fertilizer: which one to reach for when your plants are struggling
The difference between compost, manure, and store-bought fertilizers — and whether you actually need all three
Companion planting for cucumbers, cantaloupe, and watermelon
Rabbit and squirrel deterrents (including a $1.50 Dollar Tree hack)

It was an amazing session and worth every minute. 🥳

Yay! Checking it out now!

Wait, I didn't even know these were a thing!

I've been meaning to join one of these!

I have a question... can you message me?
