Great video as always. By planting in the hellstrip, you have just guaranteed that the city will repave your road. 😂 But it will be beautiful till then. I'm interested to see the salt tolerance of some of these plants.
Thank you for including the prices and the amount of plants that you use. It helps to get an idea of how much you may be spending. Everything looks just lovely as usual 😊
I was watching a couple videos last week and found myself wondering what the projects would cost, so I figured it made sense for me to try including that kind of info.
Love your videos ESPECIALLY that you mention the grow zones. So many have wonderful videos which are useless for many of us in a ZONE 3. We are so limited it seems but your tips are valuable. Alberta 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Only thing I’m wondering is if you get deliveries to your front door? You didn’t leave a pathway through your bed to the sidewalk. Rural carrier so it caught my attention
Our carrier is on foot, so arrives via the sidewalk or driveway. In front of the walkway to the house, I only planted creeping thyme (flanked by the daylilies), so that will in theory create a path. So I was considering access from the street, but I may need to adjust later. Thanks for making sure we’re considering some of the more functional aspects.
Is cerastium also known as snow in summer? If it is, it will s-p-r-e-a-d quite quickly but is beautiful in bloom, after blooming it's quite raggedy so i have to always cut mine way back.
Holy cow!!! I can't believe how much you ha e planted! It will look beautiful and I can't wait for your updates. It is always such a pleasure to watch your videos you go into such good detail Thank you for being on RU-vid I look forward to all your videos I will be sure to keep watching
Thank you for creating content that talks to the average person. Enjoy your detailed comments and explanations.. Now, if I could just get my pots to look as lush and full as yours.
Corey, I can't wait to see how this area looks in the next few months. It will look better and better with each passing year. In our little municipality, the homeowner does not own that part of the property, however, we are responsible for keeping it up. Most cities and small towns are the same in that respect. I'm following your example by adding sedums, daylilies, and other salt-tolerant plants to that area of my landscape.
The Angelina Sedum used to get planted at the cemetery where my Dad mowed in Alpena, MI. When my Mom went to plant some at home my Dad refused to let her plant it because of the way it spread. :) Old flower memory.
Really enjoy ur videos! Can you do a video on water gardens? I live by the lake and need some ideas on utilizing my permanent lake water garden and make it look nice alongside my metal dock? I do use papyrus grass, and cannas close to shore on either side of my dock but I’m getting bored with that and need some other ideas? Can you help me? My shores mucky and not sandy too.
Unfortunately, I have zero experience with water gardens, so you'd be able to do a better video than me. There must be some good water garden RU-vidrs out there, right?
I'll water them when they are dry, but that's been rare -- the cardboard is acting like a dense mulch, so it's staying mostly wet and keeping the moisture in -- it's already broken down to the point that it rips apart if I handle it, yet it's staying put and keeping weeds from coming up.
Your street would be so beautiful if all of your neighbors would plant all of their strips as well. Perhaps you could offer to share your knowledge on this project. Really enjoyed this. Thanks
It will be interesting to see the results of the experiment. I am wondering what the purpose of the cardboard is. I usually see it used to cover grass when creating new beds.
It’s for weed/grass suppression. That’s the original soil with most of the grass pulled up, but I didn’t get all the grass roots, and that grass tends to pop through the mulch every time we plant. I’m hoping this will keep it at bay. 🤞
