Pleasant video but vague & elementary. Was really looking for some evidential pests/diseases as opposed to speaking about them. Also never gave any recommendations for pests or disease control. Hate to say it but 17 minutes of my life I'll never get back

I had no idea the woman from Seinfeld was still doing comedy. If you'd like to learn more about gardening properly, skip these videos- they are a complete waste of people's time. Many others agreed. Maybe if you are new to gardening, you'd think this is good information but for those experienced, you'll notice wrong info over and over. Like the other poster- 17 min of my life I'll never get back.
