Carol from Baltimore, MD
Thank you Mike and gang, but I have to tell you that I’m the one who needs to be thanking you guys. You see, without going into a lot of detail, I was burned out mentally, emotionally and physically with the job I had. I was in a tunnel and could not see the light at the end of it. I happened upon a recording by a guy named Earl Nightingale, the name of the recording is called “Acres of Diamonds”. Soon after I happened upon your Free Plants dot com web site and said to myself “I can do this” and I have been for the last few years. I “officially” (got all legal) and opened last May and it’s been a hoot for me and Amy. I’m not in that tunnel any longer. So Thank you! And Happy Holidays!
-Bob
Bob,
Thank you so much with your uplifting story. I can’t imagine how many lives Earl Nightingale changes with his humble recordings.
i Just Want Say Thank You On What You Put Together HEre. Happy Thanks Giving.

Dick & Claire share their experience starting a retirement hobby gone crazy. 11/27/2013
Around 6 years ago My wife Claire & I joined your program. Combining your lessons with a little of our own expertise we managed to build our business. Sales increased at the rate of about 25% per year. This year our nursery volume topped $ 50K in sales. I think it;s about time we let you know how our business has exploded here in Maine and it would not have happened without your guidance! We thank you Mike for your support.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and thank you for doing what you do best.
Your friends from Lake Region Nursery in Bridgton Maine
Dick & Claire
Dick and Claire,
It’s wonderful to hear from you and to hear of your success with your plant business. That’s what I love about this, I never really know for sure what people have going on so it’s so good to hear of your success.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours too, Mike! Love your website and all of the advice you post!
Happy Thanksgiving to All at Mike’s. Thanks to Mother Earth for all her loving support, gifts of life in growing and sharing and the plentiful which she had co-created with all of us and so it is.
Namaste and Reiki blessings to All on Planet Earth.

Hi Mike and Pam, plus all of your Family.
A quick thank you from down under, Australia.
Thank you for the greetings of good wishes for the American Thanksgiving
Celebration, I wish my Wife Jenny and I could be there on the great day.
I am an avid fan and reader of all of your blogs. And cannot get enough of your instruction videos.
I am about 3 months into my ‘Backyard Nursery Business’ and have 2 minor annoyances…
Number 1…is not too hard, Converting your Spring Time Months in Ohio… into our Spring Time months in the Southern Hemisphere…
Number 2 is learning the names of the plants, (Very Basic, I know) but a lot harder for an oldie!
But I will master it.
Love the donkeys.
Good Luck Guys. regards, Mike Whittingham
Mike,
I can assure you the plant names will come to in time and once they do you’ll never be able to forget them even if you wanted to. I can remember my first day pulling orders at a wholesale nursery when I was 17. I thought to myself; “I will never remember these plant names.” Obviously I did!
I apologize for not making the seasons a little more clear for you folks in Australia. The first time somebody reminded me of that I said to him when I started writing this stuff I wasn’t even sure if people down the road were going to read it let alone the other side of the world. Good luck! You’ll do fine.
Thank you. And, yes, we do hang on to every word you say about gardening.
Tay, I thank you for that!
Pam look terrified of the camera – just like me! I hate to see pictures of myself.
Happy Thanksgiving. Adorable grandkids!!
I sure enjoy your web sight, and I have a question about knock out roses. I have 5 that were about 2 feet tall when I planted them. Last fall I cut them back to about the 2 foot again. This spring they grew like crazy, were really beautiful and went to 5 to 6 feet tall. I am going to cut them back again, but wonder just how much I should cut off. They are so easy to care for that I want to see if I can start more plants from them. Any suggestion?
James,
Two suggestions. I’d cut them back pretty hard, but not quite as far back as you cut them last year. And about propagating them. They are patented and it’s against the law to propagate them. If you look at the tag you’ll see the patent information.
So very nice to here from you, your wife, staff.Happy thanking to you all from Vancouver Washington. I would to talk with you in person, maybe talk a leg off a chair.etc who gotten the biggest story about the one that got away.
Robert,
At least once or twice a year we have get togethers, Shidigs as we call them at my place for customers. It’s always a great time!
Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to Mike, Pam, and all their family and friends from my family in Mehlville, Mo.!!!!

Thank you Mike and company (and the donkeys too!!) for putting all of this great information together. I want to wish all of you a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
And a happy and blessed Thanksgiving to you and your family. Yvonne Moss.
I have tried to reach you via the internet, but I have a fragnanced snowball tree as I saw in one of your videos but someone has backed over it and it split at the root. I am trying to save it. It is several years old and was probably6 feet tall. is there a way i can propagate the limbs and get them to grow. I took some limbs off and put in a plastic container as you have shown about tree/shrubs. This incident happened appx 1 1/2 months ago. I have fed, proped the tree back up into the area where it split watered it and have NOT put any feeding into the root area. can this tree be saved. I need your HELP. Yvonne Moss
Yvonne,
More than likely your plant can be saved. I’d trim it up some now when it’s dormant and just see what spring brings. Plants are pretty resilient, I’m sure it will do fine. Come June propagate it like this; http://www.freeplants.com/homemade-plant-propagation.htm
Thank you Mike and everyone there. Have a happy and safe holiday season.
Just great. Love your website, so informative. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
Thanks for all you do! i enjoy your newsletters/blogs and videos, loaded with very helpful advice for the beginner as well as tips for the more experienced gardener.
