Welcome to my garden! I’m Danielle, and I started gardening when I purchased my first home just a few years ago. I live on less than an acre in Zone 8, South Carolina. I love shopping for, planting, and designing perennial and annual spaces. I also have a small vegetable garden and enjoy starting seeds, growing fruits and veggies, and cooking and preserving.
You have so many beautiful things! I can empathize about the heat; I’m in zone 8 in Texas, and the heat here is the same, so I also have to get my watering and fertilizing done early. Keep at it!! 💪🏼
Danielle you are doing such a great job with this, I would love to get your input for my back yard and possibly the front as well. I love a beautiful flower garden.
Very interesting way to clean up the gladiolus. The plants do look better. I noticed you didn't explain what you were doing at the start of the video -- looked like transplanting small plants into larger pots.
Your video recording,music and voice are well organized and beautiful.I enjoy watching your videos They motivated me with my plants more to care for the indoor plants .
Me too , watching your channel, and where you play some of the plants that you have established helps me as to where to plant things in my yard as well because most of the things that I grow can't handle the South Carolina humid heat not even considering the hot sun touching the plants throughout the day, and so I continue to find new areas to move my different plants to to be able to stand up against this South Carolina crazy weather we have, thank you for replying
That other vine you sprayed in the backyard (5:23) looks like it could be Smilax Rotundifolia (or similar species), a very common "greenbrier" vine in SC. They are really hard to kill. The roots are tubers that are best dug up to get rid of them, if possible. I would like to know if the brush killer is effective on it. I have tried Roundup on Smilax and it will kill what is sprayed, but it grows back.
Ive been scouting Lowe’s regularly for their sales. It’s very hit and miss. But i usually go on week days Thursday/ Friday afternoon, they’re usually setting up for the busy weekend. Because the clearance section is a bit cut throat
Yes! I just looked at the Weekly Ad today with little from the garden center... I probably find a good clearance plant once a month. I agree, Thursday/Friday is usually when I have the best luck.
I have a stink bug issue to! I dont want to hurt them, so i kicked them out of my garden and they came back!!! I literally have a food chain in my garden. A lizard just jumped out from no were and he ran inside my house shoe and he was disoriented for some reason i have a bearded dragon who i took out in the garden the day before so i figured this lizard was thirsty and i gave him a bug that looked super worm looking bug and he ate it drank some water and after that he zoomed out so fast! He was thirst and drank and drank.
Perfect timing on the trellising instructions! I need tofigure out in the next few days how to trellis my bucket-garden tomatos. Some if them are pretty tall already. It looks like the trellis posts can be 2x3 or 2x4 lumber, the top braces can be 1x or 2x lumber either 3" or 4" width, and the hook supports across the top can be any width of 1x lumber. Like you mentioned, furring strips are a pretty good choice. Thanks for showing how the staples and washers are used.
I also live in a hot and humid place and I’ve been thinking about doing a similar trellis - this was so helpful! I think that was money well spent to bring in the pollinators plus those zinnias look so awesome on the greenstalk.
Wow, everything is coming along nicely! Plants are all pretty big for so early in the season. And it really is amazing how well that lantana is doing after such a "rough" transplant!😮
7:36 I love how Cheyenne and Fallon are helping you do your planting! 😂 This is the first time I've seen a Green Stalk. Very interesting. I'm curious to see how it does through the summer.
