The wind chimes are so cool! I’ll be in Charlotte, NC (from Baltimore, MD) visiting my new baby niece and I’m dying to squeeze in a visit to your nursery. I’m a huge fan and it’s also my birthday weekend!
I am not far from the Espoma company in south NJ and still can't find very much Espoma products. Will you ship the wind chimes? Love the bee and the dragonfly ones. Thank you for enlightening us about the plants and how to care for them.
I also wanted to comment on the Espoma Land and Sea...I was able to get my hands on some and used it today for the first time in my fall garden. I swear, the plants seemed to respond instantly. That stuff is great!
Confessions of a new gardener... I don't know if you recall me asking about one of my Hibiscus not blooming??? It was a division given to me by a friend about 2 and a half years ago. It has never bloomed for me. I was out weeding around it yesterday and got to looking at it closer. I realized the leaves were really large and they had tiny buds at the base of the leaf stem that meets the stalk. It's a darned big leaf hydrangea! I've been trimming it back every late fall! No wonder it never bloomed. I was cutting my buds for the next year off! Needless to say I have no clue what color or kind it is but I'm more than sure it's a hydrangea! I feel so stupid but hey she told me it was a hibiscus. After she divided it in half her plant died (she had just bought a new home and I assume she didn't know what flowers were in her garden!). I'm relieved but feeling a bit foolish!
Camellias can be grown a little up north too. I'm in NJ and have 3 camellias that are doing beautifully and survive my 7A winters. I did have to order them online because they don't sell them here. There's nothing quite like seeing a gorgeous camellia in middle of a drab winter. Gardenias are my favorite flowers too. They are sold here as annuals, but the Frost Proof does very well here all year which nobody here seems to realize. I am experimenting now with the August Beauty which I bought in February and it's doing great too but I want to make sure it really likes our winters, before I buy several more to make a gardenia hedge.
I hope you see this!!! Struggling in Greenville NC. My hedge of little limes I planted earlier this year had yellowing leaves close to the base and have now fallen off. They are on drip but as you know in NC it's feast or famine. We did not receive rain for 3 weeks in July with 98 degree temps. Should they be watered multiple times per day? Thanks in advance if you can reply : )
Hello! Sister I TOTALLY understand what you mean about “feast or famine”. First off, as long as they are still alive you’re ok. Going forward I would increase their water to 2x a day during those “famine” times. It’s almost impossible to overwater a hydrangea during the summer heat. Make sure you trim them back by 1/3 of their overall size in late January/early February, and then give them a great all purpose fertilizer (I use Plant-tone) around the first of March. Then just keep them well watered in the heat of the summer and you should see a dramatic difference! It takes about 3 years for them to really become established and thrive. Hope this helps, happy gardening❣️
@@GardeningwithCreekside Thank you for taking the time to respond. Fingers crossed for my little limes. If I were closer I'd take those stunning hydrangea standards off your hands!!! I have not come across any at our local nurseries. I am always grateful for you and your family's dedication and positivity : )
Thank you for your channel. I appreciate all of your hard work teaching us about plants and sharing their beauty with us. I can't believe you don't have many more subscribers than you do. Soon! Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you so much! We've only been on YT for just a year now, and have really started cranking out videos in the Spring/Summer. Feel free to share our videos with as many people as you like! Happy gardening!
When hydrangeas flop it is due to their stems not being strong enough to support the blooms. You will need to trim it in order to encourage stronger, thicker stems. Here is a video we did about hydrangeas. Once you know what kind it is you can care for it accordingly. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dQ--JzOsjcA.html
The plants are beautiful. In my area it was very difficult to find the Espoma Land and Sea compost. Wish I was closer to you. Love your videos because there’s always such good information we all can use.
I was waiting for you to talk about the Abelia when close to them on this video. They are an amazing pollinator attraction and I absolutely love all the varieties of which I have five! I am sure you have touched on them before though.
