How do you tackle your container plantings? I do mine by groupings. This is a container garden corner in front of our studio outback. Every year it changes up a bit… This year it is going to be heavy on scented geraniums ans pelargoniums. I’ve included some tips on:
1. USING OLD POTTING SOIL
2. SLOW RELEASE FERTILIZER
3. Why I am planting smaller rather than larger Boxwood this year.
4. How I am using cut Nandina trunks as supports.

I realize this is a year old, but there is plenty of inspiration and information for right now! Proof that a beautiful plan for spring never goes out of style!

@jylhobbs3038 3 года назад

I love geraniums. Every spring when I was a little girl I would accompany my mother to all her favorite greenhouses. Our car was saturated with the scent of geraniums and tomato plants on the way home. My mother worked very hard in the public and her garden was her haven. I learned so much from her. The fragrance of freshly tilled rich soil takes me back. My mother died in April 21 years ago. My precious friend, who is a florist designed the most beautiful casket spray of snapdragons, roses, tulips....a beautiful tribute!

@gaylestegall7239 3 года назад

What a beautiful story. My mother loved Geraniums, too. I understand your love for them.

@beverlyhughes552 3 года назад

When I pot up a new plant I always put old newspaper in the bottom of the pot and then put fresh soil on top, plus slow release fertilizer. When I need to move a pot it’s not so heavy. My plants thrive.😊

@tammymcleod9860 3 года назад

The encouragement and satisfaction of your gardening tips are such a boost! We are slowly replacing plant loss from the Texas arctic freeze, having to select different shrubs and plants due to unavailability. At the same time, I am loving some of the fresh, young life to our landscape. Stewart makes me laugh, which we all need! 😄🙋‍♀️

@pinkfrangipani5131 3 года назад

Thank you, Linda and it’s definitely not too long - I don’t mind the details. I was surprised that you were able to place both geraniums in that one pot. And what a bonus to add that vibrant heucharella in the same pot. Just gorgeous. Love from sunny Sydney, Australia.

@marcusseidel6824 3 года назад

I have also many scented geraniums for many years. I overwinter them at the attic. These days I give them completely fresh soil. Cut them back and re use the clippings as cuttings. A nice give away to friends as a remedie against mosquitos. I have about 5 different varieties but 15 plants , big ones in total. I display them at the roof terrace ...in full sun ... they are happy there.

Hi Linda! I never thought of using scented geraniums. But now ........I am going to give them a try!! Thanks Linda for all your tricks and gardening ideas!! See you tomorrow!! Hi Stewart!! Hugs!

@jeanieh9386 3 года назад

I love geraniums. I have had a few scented geraniums over the years...they are very hard to find! I had a really beautiful one that I combined with some pretty trailing plumbago and I really liked that look. I love the idea of a connoisseur of scented geraniums! I think your garden is going to be different this year. A softer look somehow. What a joy you are to so many, dear Linda. I used to love red geraniums but I adore the corals and oranges and pale pinks this year.

@melissagannon5711 3 года назад

Geraniums are my favorite plant. I got my first grow light in order to keep them blooming over winter. I take cuttings and they multiply. The problem is I keep buying more and just need more lights!

@Smallsizedgarden 3 года назад

For the first time this year i overwinter geraniums, because they are my favorite. I replanted them a month ago and I was so happy to see new growth!

Hi Linda, I just love my pots and recently saw a tip for planting. Take the plants out of their pots and plant the pots firmly in the new container.then just twist the planted pots gently to remove and plop in the new plant . While the plants are waiting I just send them to the plant spa ( bucket of water) for a few minutes. Thank you for all the lovely ideas just need a little bit of your sunshine here in N.Ireland. Sheila

@johntucker845 3 года назад

Only just discovered you on youtube and have been so enjoying your advice & inspiration. One container tip my mother-in-law passed on to me, and that you may have already mentioned in other videos, is to fill the bottom half (especially when filling a large container) with broken pieces of styrofoam packing material. It is extremely light weight, fills up space and (if it's broken up into smaller pieces) does not inhibit drainage. It makes it really easier to move large pots and is FREE. I save it up all year for use in the spring when I'm filling new containers. Thanks again, really enjoy watching!

@janecurtis5726 3 года назад

Love that Heucherella!! Gorgeous and looks great at the feet of the scented geranium. I used to collect all types of Pelargoniums and grew species types from seed. Too bad pollinating insects don’t care for them. Some good sources of scenteds, (cultivars that maybe your friend, Monica, doesn’t have in her collection) are: Goodwin Creek Gardens in Williams, Oregon and Sandy Mush Nursery in North Carolina. Most large mail order herb nurseries have an extensive listing of scented Pelargoniums.

@stephaniesharkey3538 3 года назад

Perfect video for me as I am strictly a container gardener Zone 6. That viburnum against that blue sky!!!!!!! I am really loving all the new plants/colors - sorry for the reason why, but you are doing a great job changing it up and trying new things and I am inspired. Really love the bright golden greens with the pinks. Really can't wait for your QVC show. You have something unique - putting collections together that will look good once you get it delivered!

Love this informative video! Especially the tips in putting together groups of pots! I was also rather relieved to see how you are reusing old potting soil. You actually are doing exactly what I have been doing for years, mixing new soil with old soil and adding compost or fertilizer to it to up the nutrition a bit. That just always seems like common sense to me but it seems you hear everyone else saying you should never ever reuse old soil. I agree with you, if the plant that came from the soil was healthy then there's no reason not to use the old soil. Thanks for showing us real life, down to earth but beautiful garden tips and tricks!
