Your garden is looking beautiful. Everything is so colorful and bright. The foxgloves are going to be gorgeous with there height and color in your garden. Love cleome. All the roses are looking amazing. The clematis are growing beautiful. Thank you for the garden tour. Jeff great job with the filming!
Amanda you've outdone yourself. And a Jeff is fantastic with his camera! You are a natural in front of the camera, and I just love how you explain everything so perfectly. You've inspired me countless ways, and your channel is right at the top of my favorites list!
I should really walk through my garden and videotape once in awhile, it's great to see the garden "live!" Thanks, Jeff, for showing your collaboration in your wife's passion and for sharing her with us. I'm looking forward to the recap tomorrow!
I wish I had the time to sow seeds and watch beauriful flowers grow like you do. You are very organised and strategic. Love watching your progress in the garden. ❤
Wonderful April garden tour. Everything looking good. My favorites are that climbing red rose and the clematis. The weeping willow has grown so much since I first starting watching your channel. It's gorgeous.
In Love with your climbing rose Don Juan and clematis dr ruppel so beautiful ❤, and the shade garden is gonna look so magical when everything comes to live ❤, love it 😊
Amanda your Don Juan Rose is perfection. So many beautiful plants in your garden. I enjoyed all of your garden tour. Can't wait to see your other Roses in bloom. Thanks for sharing.❤❤
I am so envious you have roses blooming already. My zone 8 garden roses won't bloom until nearly June. I had always passed over Don Juan but now I think I need one!
I’m amazed by the overwintered maiden fern. I’d love to have one survive. The begonias, delphinium, lupine, foxglove and roses 😍! Good job Jeff, thanks for the close ups.
Everything looks so beautiful! I'm striving to have my garden areas covered with flowers as well. Thank you for teaching n showing us how we can have a beautiful n full garden. This was my first year winter sowing. I have so many flowers I need to put out and start more seeds. WOW! This brings me so much joy! Thank you for all you do!😊
Amanda, your garden is absolutely beautiful, I’m in the south also so I take big inspiration; I’m not as much of a cost effective garden but I’m definitely learning perennials, bare roots, bulbs is where it’s at for all seasons; we have nothing but time.
So far I have no luck with clematis. Yours are looking so pretty. This is such a fun time to go out in the garden every morning to see what has grown and what is popping up.
Jeff does great doing the video. You are great at the narratives and teaching. You must be a great team. Your gardens are really beautiful. Your seed starting/growing series this year has helped me have more confidence and to be more adventurous with my seed choices. Here in Indiana I do many winter sowing jugs. This year’s winter weather must have been perfect for germination. I have perennial flowers and herbs germinating that never did before. Same seeds for four years but This is the year they decided to germinate, old or not. I am so excited thinking of where to plant them. I do mostly containers so this is an exciting prospect. Spring is the best.
Love the rose garden 🌿🌹🥀 they're so resilient I also have a climber it has beautiful white roses am training it over an arch this year and planted 5 bare root roses all different colours I also took the labels off so will get a nice suprise when they flower - all my tulips are really small this year 🤷🌷 am growing Dianthus Zinnias Lavender and Ageratum they're in small pots in my porch I'm waiting for warmer weather (hopefully from next week) ☀️ to get them all planted out 🌺 my son sent me some money for mothers day so I bought a pink Camellia my first one I love it 🌸🌸🌸 I absolutely love hydrangeas I have 9 dotted about the front and back gardens 🌸🌸🌸 I need to invest in some triple planters 🌿🌺🏵️🌼🪻🌻 love from UK 🇬🇧
I enjoy your videos. Don't worry about your BREATHING! That's the craziest complaint I've heard! You work hard and it's natural. I really enjoy your method of teaching. ❤️
I was glad to hear you share how your bulbs have struggled. I planted a bunch of daffodils for this season, and some didn't come up at all. I had very poor growth from daffodils that were planted in previous years. I'm in Wilmington, NC, zone 8b also. We had a pretty mild, very dry winter. I planted some daffodils in pots and they are just starting to bloom. We'll see how that works out. I feel my area has gotten hotter and dryer just in the past 5 years. My yard is definitely hotter because hurricane tornadoes ripped out all my big old trees. But mild winters don't allow for enough cold to allow long time planted bulbs to bloom. Oh well, what's a person to do?
Yes, my daffodils just weren’t the same this year. And all of the new ones that I planted over the winter have just started sprouting … I doubt I get any blooms from them with our warm weather. Hoping next winter is a little more consistent!
It’s been a little while since I have looked on Utube. Always enjoy your videos. You have so much more since I have seen it! Lovely garden rooms you have created. So much hard work has paid off for sure! Have you grew Columbine before? I have so many of those coming up from seed. Like your dress and really cute boots! Thanks for the tour, beautiful plants and flowers.
Wooow your garden is so far along compared to anything in oklahoma, im in Chickasha. I still have daffodils and tulips. I would like to see a panned out view of your front yard, it looks so full. You've done a great job! I started my gardening addiction with seed starting. I had many plants before i ever went to an actual nursery for the first time. I dont have many shrubs or structure plants at all with mine though. Thanks for sharing!!
Just found your blog and I love it! I'm learning so much and you've inspired me to start more of my plants from seeds. Yes, love your garden boots, can you give me info on them? They look comfy, and I can't seem to find a pair that I like.
I took a few notes today to help me remember. Gorgeous Don Juan Rose. I haven't had much success with the Walmart roses except for one. Which I'll email that one. Do you have a video about growing and planting roses in containers and in the ground? Also beautiful were the Leopard Plant and Weeping Willow. Where did you get the cute metal trellises? Noted you use a lot of big metal containers. Where did you get those? I will be watching when you cut back the Spirea because I have one to do the same to. Looks like it's trying to die. Oh and great work Jeff. Great Job. 😊
Hi Mary! I plant all of my roses in containers and yes, there is a video about that on my channel. My metals raised garden beds are from Amazon and Vego. The vintage metals pieces are all purchased on Facebook marketplace.
Regarding the Magic Fountain Delphiniums, when you say you overwintered, what specifically do you mean? Did you keep them inside? Did you plant them outside in the fall? I want to make sure I understand what you mean. TIA! And thank you for sharing your garden with us! I am in 8aTX, just further west and north from you, nearly to Wichita Falls. I think my growing is similar except my soil is likely more alkaline than yours and I don't have the humidity you have. Temperature wise, I think we're very similar.
that climbing rose is stunning! I got a couple from Costco that are actually doing well! So I planted 6 dahlia tubers (my first time) and they look pretty dried out, but thought I'd try them anyway. I kind of forgot I had them! Ha! What do you think their chances are? I'm in zone 7b, clay soil of Georgia.
Love what you've done so far! And I compiled more plant ideas for my 'to buy' list... Also, I've never tried this but am curious to see if you have... Have you ever used the Weeping Willow branches to make rooting hormone for your plants?
@@shesamadgardener I think you can collect some branches and boil them in water, then use the solution as a rooting hormone. If it works... You'll have one less thing to spend money on and more money for plants. LoL 😂
I use the fish and seaweed I was fertilizering one a week I use I table spoon I have so many when I water from bottom I’m getting the to wet I don’t know what to do they either to wet are to dry .when tell me what to do it works thank you so much Judy
Hi Judy! For the fertilizer, just saturate the earth beneath each plant. If you are referring to seedlings, then fill your water trays up about 40-50% with the fertilizer and allow your seedlings to soak them up.
So many beautiful things! I was wondering if you could show us your lisianthus. I am growing it for the first time (thanks to you!). I am also in Zone 8 in NC. I put it into the ground a month ago and it just isnt doing anything. I think rabbits snacked on it. I put up a little fence to protect it but it is still just sitting there. Thank you!
@@shesamadgardener Thanks so much! I figured it might get going later. Just wanted to check. I put it next to my strawflower and that has already taken off.
Love the beautiful don won rose and the clematis’s. But I am confused, one of the reasons I clicked on this video was to find out what that big beautiful blue flowers were? Can you tell me what it is and why I never seen it in your tour?
After visiting gardens in Scotland and Ireland I pulled out the landscape fabric from my flower beds and started planting as many perennials as I could. I couldn’t get all the fabric out without killing established shrubs and plants. Those beautiful gardens I saw had no space between plants. Landscape fabric compacts the soil and ruins it. I wish I never used it in the first place. I actually have less weeds without it to my surprise.
Living mulch is great for weed retention! I have a couple of areas that have weed barrier in the back … I planted amaranth there years ago and couldn’t get it to stop sprouting, so I put down the barrier, which has worked greatZ
I’m having a problem with my Shasta daisies and blanket flower some of my corners looks brown and the way to the bottom of the stem wilted some say spray with baking soda and soap have you tried it I trust you help Judy
I’m guessing it might be a watering issue since they are at the corner of your garden. Are you setup on drop? Trying hand watering a little extra in that area for a week to see if it makes a difference.
It’s going to be different for every gardener because we all have different circumstances. I encourage you to check out seedlings every day and if they feel like they are starting to dry out, then water them. However do not allow them to totally dry out or they will dry. For fertilizer, follow the directions on the package and then cut it to half stength … fertilize at least once a month.
