I'm redoing one of the most important areas of the garden. We pass this part of the garden multiple times a day, and we look at it from the patio, the deck and the lawn, so these plants have their work cut out for them.
My garden is in zone 5 but it's been a really cold spring so things are far behind other zone 5 gardens.

I am enjoying watching and listening to all your garden information which I find very interesting and informative, even though I can’t grow a lot of the cold climate plants as I live in the sub tropics in Queensland Australia., but in saying that there are plenty that can be grown, for instance you planted a Rockin Fuchsia Salvia, on your blog today and I actually bought and planted one today. Enjoy the walks around the garden. Barbara

@kyrad6543 5 лет назад

I wish your new garden much growth and success! I love bush clematis. They are so dainty and interesting. I had to use a circular wire support for mine because I didn't enjoy the flopping over. And you are right about that fuchsia salvia, the hummingbirds love it. I grow it with black and blue salvia with they also love. For mulch, I bought one of those huge cast aluminum ice scoops at a restaurant supply store. I use it to scoop and distribute the mulch. I also use it to scoop soil out of bags.

@pratherlara5321 5 лет назад

I second the ice scoops, been using baker's scoops of all sizes foe everything- soil, mulch, fertilizer- plastic animal food scoops work great in the garden also. the only way to kill any of them is to run it over with a truck.

Hey Erin! I am so happy I came across your channel! I too am from Wisconsin and I figure you are only about 2-3 hours from me! This year is the first time since we moved to our home almost 20 years ago that I am finally loving my gardens! I was always too intimidated by trying to figure out when, what, why, and how to plant. But this year I just did it! Thanks for all the great “real” videos! Have a great day in the garden!

Hi “neighbor!” That’s the way it goes with gardening sometimes, isn’t it? Sometimes you just have to get stuck in and do it. Your garden sounds great. Thank you for saying hi.

Lamb's ear. Silvery fuzzy soft drifts of foliage with pretty baby pink tall flower stalks that can be cut down low after they finish blooming leaving the silvery mounds of foliage for the rest of the season. They're perineal

I’m digging that chunk of root, wood burl thing, in your garden there. I loved that salvia, too! Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! .....ohhh, driftwood. Niiice.

@barbll000 5 лет назад

The garden is lovely. I like your choice of plants and how you explain why you are choosing it. I think I should add clematis to my garden for some vertical interest. Sedums are fabulous for rooting in, even their leaf will grow roots. Honey bees love the flowers which is great to feed them in the fall.

@TheImpatientGardener 5 лет назад

John Lord (an Irish gardener with a great RU-vid channel) says about sedums: you can throw them over your shoulder and they will root and he's pretty much right.

I actually planted five of them just a few feet away from this area of the garden earlier this spring. Can't wait to see them thrive. Thank you for the suggestion.

@starlakelsey2782 5 лет назад

I don't know if Crocosmia grows in your area but if it does you really need to put some out. In my 7b it doesn't need to be pulled up in fall. I tested it last year and it dd pretty darn good. But this year ... wowzer... it is a show stopper. Hummingbirds love it and the big sword shaped leaves are very pretty on their own. Keep us in loop with this area as it spreads and fills in. I think it is going to be really really pretty by summer.

@TheImpatientGardener 5 лет назад

It’s iffy on hardiness here but I actually did plant some in my “hot” border this year. I hope it does well because it’s a stunner!

@Camille-ft1fj 5 лет назад

Love watching your videos! Thanks for keeping us up to date on your new additions. I am interested in the dogwood... I planted a “radiant rose” dogwood this spring that is doing well, just not entirely what I expected. I hope yours leafs out soon!

@TheImpatientGardener 5 лет назад

I just went to one of my go-to online tree sources (Whitman Farms) and she (the sweet woman who runs it) says on her site she sees no difference whatsoever between Radiant Rose and Satomi. I have seen other sites that say that Radiant Rose is hardier than Satomi. I have to say, I have real concerns about what's happening with this one I planted. I think it may have suffered some tissue damage over winter, which allows plants to leaf out but then no more nutrients can make it through the vascular system.

@Camille-ft1fj 5 лет назад

The Impatient Gardener I picked radiant rose for its hardiness mostly (NY zone 6). And because I thought the color would be very pink. Right now the bracts are very very light pink. So a little disappointed so far. Was the satomi the tree that you showed us the root system of? Do you think it was the roots that were tangled that are the problem? Have you already asked the nursery for a replacement?

@peggyjk 5 лет назад

We use maple leaves for mulch and it does wonders for the soil, turns into wonderful black soil as it decomposes. I’m with you, I’d rather buy plants as to mulch! Thanks for the video!

@TheImpatientGardener 5 лет назад

Leaf mulch is the best! I usually mulch most of the gardens in fall with our leaves.

@TheImpatientGardener 5 лет назад

It's a case of a terrible common name. Globe thistle is not the weedy thistle you are thinking of ... just a case of a bad common name.

@debiulrey-crosby4520 3 года назад

I've just recently found your site and LOVE it all. I hope you still will get this question even though this video is from 2019. I noticed the small gingko tree that you mentioned near the end of your video but you didn't talk about it. Can you tell me the variety? Is it a smaller variety? I have a "typical" size (very slow growing), but I love them. I'm in zone 4b so I'd love to plant another one & love this smaller size. Thanks!!

@TheImpatientGardener 3 года назад

@debpotter7552 5 лет назад

looks great, will be interesting to see how it all fills out over the season. Are the fuzzy silver plants (sage?) also called "Lamb's Ears"? I like a mix of perennial and annuals as well, and I always shuffle the perennials around if it does not work out as planned, nothing is permanent in the garden :) tfs!

@TheImpatientGardener 5 лет назад

Deb Potter No, lambs ear (aka Stachys Byzantine) is a perennial, but similar in appearance, particularly when silver sage is young.

@dallastaylor5479 5 лет назад

Where did you find the dogwood (fancy name) in the beginning of the video? Thistle, really? Not the weed I assume?

@TheImpatientGardener 5 лет назад

I found the dogwood at a Milwaukee area garden center. And nope, not the weedy thistle. It's just a case of a bad common name. Echinops, aka globe thistle, is not pokey and thuggish like the weedy thistles most of us contend with.

@julieculshaw4031 5 лет назад

Can you tell me how you water all your gardens? do you have an underground system? or do you have to water this yourself?

@TheImpatientGardener 5 лет назад

Julie Culshaw Perennials, shrubs and trees only get watered for their first year unless they get really stressed. For a new garden like this sometimes I’ll set up a soaker hose and connect the hose to that to make it easier but otherwise I just hand water.

@maryknipp9623 5 лет назад

Totally random question, at 10:39 you show the steps up to your patio. I love the railing. What do you call that type of railing?

@TheImpatientGardener 5 лет назад

Stainless steel cable. They are becoming more popular so are probably easier to source now. When we did it we went to a sailboat lifeline maker (it’s exactly the same parts and construction) who was just launching an architectural line.

Do you prefer cats pijamas to walkers low? I have walkers low all over , I love it but it can get a little large

@TheImpatientGardener 2 года назад

They are so different it's almost like they are two different plants. Walkers Low is a great performer where it can mingle with other plants (that can kind of hold it up) and for farther back in the border. Cat's Pajamas is so small that it's a front of the border kind of thing. I do think it has better color though.

@HowsItGrowing 4 года назад

Hi Erin - question - Do you trim your dahlia in the early stages? I've seen some do this to cause more branching and blooms, and I don't want to make a horrendous mistake.

@TheImpatientGardener 4 года назад

How’s It Growing? Pinching back is a good idea when you’re growing them for your garden. If you’re growing them for cut flowers you generally sacrifice flowers for longer stems. I pinch them back early on and will do it later when I remember, which honestly isn’t often. Great growers really stay on top that. I also deadline all the way back to a node which I guess is a form of pinching back.

@TheImpatientGardener 4 года назад

I do, but not a lot. I should probably fertilize more than I do, to be honest, but I work hard to build the fertility in my soil and that seems to work ok. At a minimum, all hydrangeas, clematis and roses get a spring fertilization.
