Hi Hobby Gardener Friends! Welcome to my garden! My name is Andrea and four years ago GARDENING became my FAVORITE HOBBY! I live in Northeastern Oklahoma (zone 6b) along with my husband, our 8 grown children and 15 grandchildren. Other than with my family, my garden is my favorite place to be. I started this channel to share the fun I'm having in my garden and to meet others who love gardening as much as I do! So, let's be friends! Subscribe and follow along. Please share your garden tips with me and I'll share mine with you.

(EXCELLENT VIDEO) To everyone: Have yours turned that strong fuscia color or just a dull rusty color? I just bought my first one and as I drive through my NJ neighborhood. I don’t see any vibrant hydrangeas (except the limelights). I’m getting discouraged. Thanks in advance. 🌸
I got a mum in July for my Anniversary and after it died I deadhead the plant and repotted it and hoping it will rebloom for me this Fall. I have been giving it Miracle Gro when I water. I do keep it in a pot and inside like a house plant because of how I live I don't get to garden any more with my health. I do hope it's possible to get it to bloom while living inside?
How do you return plants? Most places don't let you. Who knows what you did to it before returning it. I wouldn't want to purchase after someone returned. :)
I planted these from a root late las fall. They are growing and blooming well but just a single stem about 3 feet high. Do they get bushy and spread out over time?
My neighbors dog won't stop barking. My dad confronted them nicely once and she sent her son over to try and beat him up like it's high school. She is lazy and won't even yell at her dog. You have to constantly call the apartments she lives in and they won't even answer. I just wanna sit outside peacefully but I can't when a little ankle biter won't stop barking
Plant a big patch of clover for them to eat off to the side. The bunnies around here love clover and will only go for my plants when there is no clover left. I made the mistake of spraying weed killer on the lawn and it got rid of all the clover so they had nothing else to eat. I bought a bag of clover and spread it near the woods in the back, its grows very quick and the bunnies love it. ❤️
Learned about these the hard way! I love arborvitae and have them on my front landscaping. They killed so many tress before I learned. No way I’m touching it though!
How do you care for them once winter comes? Do you prune them really short? Do you leave the leaves alone? Frost covers? We have a couple and want to make sure they come back next Spring 2025.
Yay I have one a sonic pink with variegated leafs green with cream edges,I brought a cutting from my old house 127 miles away from skegness to west yorkshire, England, I'm at my present address for 16yrs & my cutting which is now a 10 foot tree is doing just great intact I did another cutting 4 yrs ago & that is 4 ft high I just love them, so today I've done more cuttings as I had some time on my hands......here's hoping that I get 3 more trees.
When we bought this house 14 years ago, there was already a very mature Sonic Bloom on our front lawn. It grows at least 12' tall and about the same width wise. But since it interferes with us getting in and out of the house at times, I cut the width back all around so it's more like 8' wide. It's gorgeous. And this year the honey bees are out in full force up here in Southern Ontario, Canada. I haven't seen them near this bush in about five years. I'm happy to have them back!
Glyphosate is DANGEROUS. Don't use that! Denser planting will look so much better than a bunch of ugly mulch. OR Newspaper underneath grass clippings stops weeds.
Yeah that's great for one small flower bed. We have nearly an acre of beds. Only two things work. The local bobcats and me.... We actually put a concrete strip and toe board under our fence and closed all the holes. So at least the backyard stays rabbit free. The front gets plants rabbits don't like. Our neighbor keeps asking why their beds get eaten to the ground and ours don't. I tell her it's cause I'm mean as hell and the rabbits can sense it! LOL
I have 2 Red Prince that are in full bloom April 1st here in NE Texas. They are planted on the NW side of my house, doing well there. They do require a lot of supplemental watering in our hot hot summers. I prune mine by 40% right after the blooms drop in mid April to keep them at a manageable height, they do not rebloom much. They grow about 24" every year.
The music is too loud, annoying band very unnecessary. Why do RU-vidrs think they need music? Competing with annoying music…why bother? Don’t you watch your videos before posting?
