Photography. Great way to remember where everything is planted, and journaling what was planted where and what varieties were planted. I keep a three ring binder with clear sleeves in it that can hold photos, bed diagrams, and plant tags for reference. Works great!
I really do love and appreciate your videos. I live vicariously by watching your videos. They bring back great memories when I had many gardens at a former home. So, thank you. ❤❤❤
This Q & A was excellent! Great questions and answers. Love the corresponding photos for your responses. Love your sense of humour and exuberance during this video. I just found your RU-vid videos in February and have thoroughly enjoyed each one. Love your landscape plans and all the plants you use. I live in Northwestern Ontario Canada in a Zone 3 hardiness location so would love your incorporation of Zone 2 and 3 hardy plants into some of your future landscaping plans. Looking forward to your further videos. ❤
Enjoyed the info and picks. Yes to a regular schedule as I think it helps everyone including yourself. Many suggestions on locating bulbs-thanks everyone! About deer and rabbits. My area has a lot of cedar, oaks, stuff wildlife doesn’t like until they see the gardens. I have to fence everything as they will eat anything except-so far-foxgloves. We are the salad bar. We have been in severe drought and they definitely eat anything green just like they eat everything in harsh winters. It’s a bummer we have to fence, but I can’t afford to feed the wildlife or time to wait for things to regrow. 😅we also have 4 roosters that like to rearrange woodchips as they think they are helping and for trade they help themselves to the Sweet Williams.-They are rascals😅.
I'm in zone 6b and actually have a rabbit who lives in my backyard and has been there for almost a year....i also have a heavy deer presence and lots of liatris.....none have ever been touched in case this helps anyone
I fortunately bought a Japanese maple tree on sale. Where should I plant it, sun ot shade? The information tag was gone. Could I plant it in a bed with 2 Lemon Thread False Cypress, 2 mungo pine, 1 abroviatae and 1 wintercreeper euonymus? Anything else? I have one big rock. I just don't know the best placement for these plants. I could plant them in front of a shed where they wouldn't get any western sun, but get morning and southern exposure. I'm in 8a SC. THANKS for your help.
Yes you can. Actually, if you seed them in place when it is warm, you need to soak or nick the seed coat. When winter sowing them, that is not necessary, though you do not want to sow them thickly, and make sure you transplant them in to their final homes asap. 🥂
Hello my fellow gardeners in Zone 5 - can anyone give me some suggestions - I have several 24 inch pots on the eastside on my yard I need ideas for ONE plant I can use to fill them - I am on a small budget - cannot afford 5 or more plants for each pot- thanking you all in advance 😊
Depending how much sun/shade each pot gets, impatien/sunpatien, petunia, begonia, coleus, calibrachoa, creeping or woolly thyme, zahara/profusion zinnia to name a few.
I bought 3 purple fountain grasses today for $3.50 each. They are small but I’m going to pot them up in a slightly bigger pot until I can put one each in my 3 garage pots.
