The first banana container two years ago was so good, we're doing it again, and this time I'm bringing in a motley crew of supporting characters.

Go BIG or go home!!! Please, please don’t forget to show regular updates; watching what happens to all the planter’s cohabitants this summer is going to be so much fun! Thank you, Erin! 😊

@zoreslavazinczenko1060 Месяц назад

Agree! Yes, PLEASE. Erin!!!

@kristinebyrne5021 Месяц назад

Banana #1 should be known as The Top Banana.

@sarahkay6560 Месяц назад

A possible name for Original Banana, What about "Dole"? You would have a Dole banana and a Chiquita banana. Just a thought

@lissapowell967 Месяц назад

Your creativity with planters is so much fun to. watch. You never do what everyone else is doing and I love that!

@samcarpenter4347 Месяц назад

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the breeze doesn’t uproot Chiquita before tomorrow morning!!!

@kristywhited8857 Месяц назад

"It's Banana Time!" LOL!

@jillsimpson8716 Месяц назад

Nailed it!!!! That is gorgeous. I’m embarrassed about my sad little banana plant, lol.

@junoharpoon Месяц назад

Oh la! la! My goodness this planter is going to be a winner this year.

@Liz-og9gc Месяц назад

Lol 😂 "Hang in there Chiquita". I love my banana plants in Texas. Looks great.

@gloriagibbons1744 Месяц назад

Erin, I love you and your gardening techniques in addition to your relaxed personality! You don’t appear to take yourself so seriously, but show a great deal of gardening knowledge and confidence ❤❤❤

@user-mh6fs4fo5j Месяц назад

You are the most creative person I've ever seen with planters...not to mention your gardens. Can't wait to see this in August.

@catherinemoran3325 Месяц назад

I watch your videos for this very reason. You come up with the most creative and unusual plant combinations in your containers. This one is going to be a another stunner!

@user-qk2bh7ks3e Месяц назад

Love how you throw in sailing terms into your gardening.

@mercury_rising Месяц назад

Love how chiquita looks like she’s waving at us with her fronds in the breeze 😊

@kristaself126 Месяц назад

Love this container too. All the different plants adds so much interest.

@shod61 Месяц назад

GO, Fiona! If she’s Fiona then #1 needs to be Shrek. Maybe you haven’t seen the movie? Either way, I’m rooting for them both to be glorious. Your container game has gone to the next level lately. I’ve always loved them and modeled some of mine after yours but this one is spectacular. Can’t wait to see the progress updates.

@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki Месяц назад

You nailed the colors with this one. Can’t wait to watch it grow up and fill out

@coneflower5101 Месяц назад

Your planters are always so fun. Not your ordinary planter. Super style. Love it. 💗💗💗

@Talula72 Месяц назад

My husband just walked by and said "Wow, that's a BIG container"! 😆

@cherylt6888 Месяц назад

So excited to see this planter progress! Grow little Fiona sunrise jasmine,grow!!!

@cindybohl9593 Месяц назад

Gorgeous!!! Love that banana and the bromeliads! Go Fiona Sunrise!!! Go banana!

@denisewade6439 Месяц назад

Yay Chiquita is back!,🍌🌱. She’s stunning and gets more beautiful every year! ❤

@colleenwhiteford8430 Месяц назад

Yay!!! Banana time! What a gorgeous planter you put together, and if Chiquita is anything like the other one, she ain't gonna be little, that's for sure. So fun! Thanks for sharing with us!

@nicholasryan5401 Месяц назад

Beautiful planter, chiquita banana, and the other plant selections, They are the bees knees.

@danakenoyer106 Месяц назад

Your container planting this year has inspired me to do some non traditional planting in mine. I am interested to see the progress of the banana and all its companions. The original banana was so interesting to watch thrive 🎉

@cindyscharr457 Месяц назад

Now that is some real 🐒business. Keep monkeying around! You are an inspiration.

@pocketsofmayhem Месяц назад

I love the dark purple-burgundy colors with the lime greens and peachy-corals❣️ 😘. I found a pot with two Abyssinian bananas in it last year and called them Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. They grew in the same pot last year and this year they are separated in the ground. 🙃

@lm8006 Месяц назад

Ha! Love that you mix it up in containers (and the garden truth be told). If you’re calling 2.0 Chiquita, I think 1.0 needs a name too. I nominate “Hannah”.

@donnawest866 Месяц назад

Go Fiona! Go Fiona! Looking forward to updates! Gorgeous at the get-go!

@carmenbailey1560 Месяц назад

Chiquita and Fiona 👏👏👏 Thanks for sharing 👍❤️🙂

@juliefurman1978 Месяц назад

Absolutely gorgeous. Even while you were explaining what you were going to plant my brain was going hum not sure about this one. But MY WORD ... STUNNING .. LOVE IT🎉

@lorihanby6733 Месяц назад

I LOVE this combination of plants!! Will be exciting to see how it all grows over the summer. Should be a bright spot in your Sunday strolls through the garden. 😊♥️

@pamelavalente3731 Месяц назад

What a fantastic combination! Looking forward to seeing how this grows. 💚😊💚

@sandydavidshofer1204 Месяц назад

Welcome Chiquita! Looking for forward the progress on this beautiful pot arrangement!

@helenpecoraro9096 Месяц назад

Erin I bought a banana plant and now I need a bigger pot😃 love your ideas💕💕💕

@janzatovich6677 Месяц назад

❤😊 excited. it's Banana time.

@bluesky7226 Месяц назад

Erin, you might have to temporarily stake that banana. Colorful! Excited to see that pot grow. My banana is smaller, but will grow! ❤

@ladikmk Месяц назад

Those colors are stunning Erin, and I don't know where you find all those amazing plants with such different textures but we sure don't have them around here. Chiquita is going to be one big, flat-out gorgeous woman by Fall. Thanks for sharing.

@user-cp5ht1th6i Месяц назад

Go Fiona Sunrise …. LOL on the banana series I’ve been watching for a while and the bananas have a mind of their own. 😂

@carlas872 Месяц назад

You have taught me to have fun with containers. Can’t wait to see it fill in around beautiful Chiquita. I planted a sunshine ligustrum two years ago in northeast Ohio and it’s doing great.

@kathy5216 Месяц назад

Love those bromeliads! So fun to see some out-of-the-box and adventurous planting!

@martinlugus5499 Месяц назад

Really enjoying your much increased presence this season.

@emkn1479 Месяц назад

Ooo such a tropical flair with the banana and bromeliads 🤩 love it and all the foliage colors!

@JRP58 Месяц назад

Chiquita Banana looks spectacular! I hope you’ll show us the planting of Top Banana soon.

@paulacothren3591 Месяц назад

Chiquita Banana in that gorgeous planter with view of climbing hydrangea in the background equals chefs kiss if I ever saw one.

@jcking6785 Месяц назад

Nothing shy about that planter! Wowza!

@betsymaltby6788 Месяц назад

Thanks for mixing it up and giving us new ideas for our planters. I don't doubt there is and/or will be a run on banana trees at the local nurseries and big box stores because of your videos! 😊

@staceyk3080 Месяц назад

Excited to see how Chiquita does! Enjoy your channel

@thebuddinghomemaker Месяц назад

I actually love Mahogany Splendor Hibiscus and Ligustrum for using in cut flower arrangements!

@mireillewilson5911 Месяц назад

Banana time! WOO-HOO

@ginnysulya9805 Месяц назад

Awesome Erin, looking forward to seeing this pot explode with growth and color! 🤩

@tammykuhar4420 Месяц назад

I love Missy Chiquita ♡♡♡ You're making me want a banana 😂

@JAYNEmM1962 Месяц назад

Alright, mine wintered over good. I have an old cast-iron cauldron in my yard I planted it in. Looking forward to seeing Chiquita #1 & 2. Happy planting.

@sandistolle4874 Месяц назад

Return of the Bananas! 👏 Anxious to know where you’ll put #1 C’mon Fiona 👏💪

@brendabraun5522 Месяц назад

I was hoping to see the backside of the container 😢. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses. Very interesting combination.

@maureenlarkin3495 Месяц назад

I love Chiquita!

@cyhomer Месяц назад

OMG! Erin, those bromiliads!!!

@janicehackbarth394 Месяц назад

Someone in the city of Menomonee Falls must have seen your banana plant as I saw 3 banana plants in the median strip on Appleton Ave. When I saw the plants, I immediately thought of you.

@mollycottontail Месяц назад

Your yard is beautiful. Great place for a wedding or a garden party.

@pamhouglan4710 Месяц назад

Chiquita is a big girl!

@jayneteal-jeffery6283 Месяц назад

That’s one fun planter. Loads to look forward to. Exciting!

@lobstahchowdah8920 Месяц назад

Summer is officially here when Erin brings out the bananas! Loving all the colour in that planter. So fun. I am stealing your “recipe” to brighten up some of my planters - I need something that will show up in our Nova Scotia fogbank. 😂

@MyFocusVaries Месяц назад

Wow! You packed in so many interesting plants. It's so lush.

@shanamatteucci3980 Месяц назад

Love all the textures along with foliage colors. Will enjoy following its progress.❤

@tinah8065 Месяц назад

I can’t wait to see this one grow together! It looks beautiful already! I have totally been into the “sunset/sunrise” colored plants the last 2 years! I am crossing my fingers for you and that banana today though! This wind is brutal! I found one of my favorite plants snapped off. And an oriole nest fell out of its tree. 😢

@graffic13 Месяц назад

Lolz i have a dwarf that will make bananas ... and a normal one that lives in the house... the house one literally is like a baby from the original that grew to be 6 foot tall before i rehomed it to a store I would have just left the jasmines in their cans and buried the cans ...they'll probably grow faster if they get root bound and grow roots out of the bottom of the can. Just letting you know ive bought and lost a lot of jasmine over the years Stephanotis is so hard to kill and blooms like non stop! Pink star is really hard to get going and to get to bloom but it smalls amazing! I've bought several types those 2 are the best

@venusgarden959 Месяц назад

Wow nice❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@lisag6796 Месяц назад

I'm excited to see the progress of this planter!!

@upnorth21 Месяц назад

I sure enjoy your videos and enthusiasm. Looking forward to another great container. Love the variety of plants!

@juliafiore120 Месяц назад

My goodness, Erin! 😳😍😍Gorgeous planter.

@terrivance8750 Месяц назад

Thank you, Erin. 😊

@karenbrower9952 Месяц назад

I use Sunshine Lugustrum in my southern garden as an accent plant. I have them in a very sunny border about 15 ft apart in with mostly dark green bushes and roses and dahalias.

@elijahkrause2972 Месяц назад

Erin You have the best music selections !!

@kfaulknerstudio Месяц назад

Little Chiquita 😂🍌

@ninawill8053 Месяц назад

Love the container mix, it is so colorful and fun!

@dellablair5854 Месяц назад

Love this planter. Going to find a Fiona sunrise

@carolsabo187 Месяц назад

Wow, you fill a pot 👍💕💕

@jondebbiegraff6492 Месяц назад

Hi! I'm in Oklahoma, zone 7. I also grow red mohogamy hibiscus. I take cuttings of mine before the first frost. They root easily in water and the cuttings bloom indoors for me!

@PleasantPrickles Месяц назад

That is a wow wee planter! Love it! 🌿🌿🌿 🍌

@christiensgarden3325 Месяц назад

Absolutely here for the banana plant love the Chiquita. I’ll have to find a name for my banana plant and then of course we need updates as well as we need the video on when you bring banana one out.

@gwendolina4491 Месяц назад

Fantastic sunrise coloured planter 🌞

@pearly9979 Месяц назад

Love the bromeliads. They are stunning grouped together. Love how you got the colors nailed with all the plants. And I love your choice of music. It's fun, which is what gardening is all about.

@brandiehuck3381 Месяц назад

Oh!!! Stunning!! I LOVE IT!…… Hands down best so far,.. and let me tell you i was a bit skeptical,… I should have known not to doubt your mad skills!

@Mklockhart Месяц назад

Erin I did those same colors in the front of my house. 😂 It looks beautiful! That pot is going to be stunning! Can’t wait to see it in a month! 🙌🏻

@MelindaBrooks-vj3fr Месяц назад

Beautiful pot! Colors are striking!

@anne-9374 Месяц назад

Can’t wait to see the planter in 1 to 1 1/2 mths. It will be quite the look! As for the bananas… should we call them The Banana and Chiquita?

@Gardenmimi1950 Месяц назад

Can’t wait to watch this fill in

@claris1755 Месяц назад

Name for banana one? Top Banana, of course!

@kaval1er Месяц назад

You inspired me to have a giant cedar planter made so I could attempt to do something similar. Not sure I'm too excited about the surrounding plants though. I kind of just used all my leftovers. I like your choices better.

@Jpatmeadowbrook Месяц назад

Jim Putnam calls bagged potting soil “death in a bag!”

@neirishsmiles8005 Месяц назад

We need a Bananna cam 🎉

@MyGardenEvolution Месяц назад

Really loved the color combos and textures ❤

@altheab.8907 Месяц назад

Seems to me this banana is larger than banana #1 was when you put it in this container. Will be watching to see how big this one gets. I remember when you took the other one out of the container that fall. Yikes! Brave girl, Erin. Container looks great.

@TheImpatientGardener Месяц назад

I agree. Definitely bigger to start with.

@judymckerrow6720 Месяц назад

Thanks Erin, I can’t wait to see that container fill in ! 💐💚🙃

@gardenextra7415 Месяц назад

Love the tropicals 😊

@ivayork6178 Месяц назад

That’s going to be fabulous!

@jenniferolson7296 Месяц назад

Erin, when you started showing the additional plants all I could think of is a clown car!🤡 But I guess that huge container can handle it! Love the color combinations and looking forward to following its progress over the summer!🍌🪴 I ordered my clematis from Brushwood , in fact I ordered a Indigo Sapphire and it is blooming! Hope Fiona loves her new home. I will have to keep my eye out for her next year.

@debbierodriguez7368 Месяц назад

I always enjoy your videos they're so cool.

@darleneoldakowski4966 Месяц назад

You may have outdone yourself this year! Love it and love all your "experimentation" with your pots this year. Going to be so fun to watch them "grow up"!!!
