As a kid behind our house was a sheep field. A house that once stood in the field was gone. The remnants of the basement was all that was left. Under the trees out away from the house crocus appeared all over, followed by narcisis and Lilly of the Valley. I plant bulbs every year because of this. The naturalized bulbs can outlive a house and it's owners. Beautiful!

@TheImpatientGardener 11 месяцев назад

That sounds delightful.

@titosrevenger 11 месяцев назад

I just wanted to say that I've noticed the extra effort you've gone through with the production value of your videos in the last few videos. The shots are perfectly framed and the editing is really tight! Nice work.

@TheImpatientGardener 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! I hate to say it but I think you can tell when the pressure of summer is off and I have a little bit of brain space for creativity. Thanks for noticing. 😀

@gayleschmidt6421 11 месяцев назад

Love how you garden...😊

@koltonhewlett 10 месяцев назад

I appreciate all of your videos. It's apparent that you put together these videos for a primary purpose: to educate and share your passion for gardening.

@lorettabrod4409 11 месяцев назад

We planted some purple crocuses around a dogwood about 20 years ago, the dogwood is gone but the crocuses come up every year. Plant bulbs.🌱

@michelefischer1759 11 месяцев назад

Dorothy stole the show for me. I had a newfie Gabby who was so wonderful when she wasn't spreading the garbage all over the kitchen floor. lol! Can't wait to see the spring show of these bulbs!

@christineoliver8373 11 месяцев назад

I love that you are in WI. It's nice having a local gardener giving advice for our area. Thank you. Can't wait to see this all bloom in spring 😍

My favorite bulb story: When I first moved into my home, the yard was a mess. My mom had an abundance of daffodil bulbs so she shared a bunch with me. I planted where I could but still had probably 50 left over. I put them in a bucket in the garage and forgot about them. The next year when cleaning out the garage, I figured the bulbs were a lost cause so I dumped them in a pile on the side of my house where I typically put dead foliage or cuttings. Those bulbs are the best bloomers of anything I have. Every year since, they are the first and longest of the spring bloomers. I never even buried these suckers! They bring me so much joy bc I think about the irony and beauty of the story.

@amyparker1762 11 месяцев назад

I can’t wait to see how this turns out. I’ve finally committed to planting bulbs again. I gave up for a couple years due to squirrels rearranging and replanting them 😂 but I’m ready again. Happy spring 2024 to all 🌷🌷🌷

@mdwalker3034 11 месяцев назад

Erin… you are looking particularly beautiful and happy these days! Love, simply love your videos.

@discolemonade8794 11 месяцев назад

Dorthy needs to make more featured appearances. Love her and the bulb lawn💜💛

@sheila1961 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for all the laughs! My new mantra - "we are chucking these things in the holes".... ! I'm bettin' this works with just about everything I've planted so far. 👍Love it!

@annwoleben5439 11 месяцев назад

Magnificent aerial view! I'm looking forward to your blooms in the spring. You and Dorothy have convinced me to experiment with some bulbs in an area on our lawn. Thank you!

@aliciaerickson6419 11 месяцев назад

I have a dream of a crocus lawn. Every year I plant hundreds of bulbs, every year the squirrels get them.

@Ladybugsandflowers 11 месяцев назад

All those bulbs will look beautiful next year. And Dorothy did a spectacular job supervising. ☺️

@cathybranly1839 11 месяцев назад

I planted over 1500 tulip, daffodil, and allium bulbs in 2019. They came up in spring of 2020 and brought joy to my neighbors as covid locked us down. So worth it!

@GardenKath 11 месяцев назад

I just planted 25 crocus in the lawn around my mailbox. Not *quite* as impressive, but I’m looking forward to them spreading. 😅

@sheilalefebvre8667 11 месяцев назад

Dorothy is just the sweetest!! 🐾❤️🐾🌷🐾💐🐾❤️🐾

@diannpavelka4505 11 месяцев назад

We planted less than a tenth of what you did today. You go girl!!

@audreycardwell6931 11 месяцев назад

The muscari and various daffodils that my great grandmother planted in the 1880s around their farmhouse are still showing up every spring ... well, maybe their decendent bulbs,. But it is a lovely connection to her still.

@dixiehedrick 11 месяцев назад

Dorothy is beautiful

@pamelacarroll 11 месяцев назад

Nothing says Spring is coming like the first sight of bulbs emerging!!!

@mistygeller3193 11 месяцев назад

Oh my goodness I cannot wait to see the updates in the spring!!! I love the looks of bulb lawns!!! My dad has always planted little wildflower meadows around his property and it’s just beautiful 😊

@theleefamily6446 10 месяцев назад

I guess I have lived under a rock because I was not aware of bulb lawns. I just watched and told my family, "I found our next project!" 🤣

@lorisovi9598 11 месяцев назад

I am so excited to see this bloom in the spring! I'm inspired by you as always, Erin!!❤

@daiseegray9110 11 месяцев назад

I ❤️ how you garden, dig a hole, throw the bulb in, toss fertilizer, and they will be beautiful in the spring! 🌼🐝

@briannamacdougall8955 11 месяцев назад

Cannot wait to see what your bulb lawn looks like in the Spring! Love your channel 😊

@ConnieGrundhofer 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for helping the pollinators by providing food for them in the spring.

@Mountainside.Gardening 11 месяцев назад

Love the drone footage. So glad to see Dorothy, love her!!!! I can't wait to see the bulb garden!!!! Have a great day!!

@marciaboone8085 10 месяцев назад

I love gardening! But am now 77 yrs old & not as physically able to go gung-ho as past years. I have become a throw & go gardener to help the environment & pollinators. I have 2 properties I maintain & also love to let nature take it's course. Fingers crossed I can get some bulbs to plant for future generations. I love, love, love your practical approach & experimentation! ❤❤

@marcishacklock 11 месяцев назад

Glad you had a hubby helper. I couldn’t imagine you doing this all by yourself. It’s going to be such eye candy in the spring.

@Andi_K715 11 месяцев назад

"900 teaspoons" 😆 I appreciate learning stuff I didn't know I needed to learn.

@cathybranly1839 11 месяцев назад

Planting bulbs is always a big job, but so worth it when the flowers come out in the spring. It should look beautiful!

@juliafiore120 11 месяцев назад

I thoroughly enjoy your videos, Erin and, seeing Dorothy at the end was a bonus. She’s beautiful.

@bethtousey5244 11 месяцев назад

Can’t wait to see the show in spring! Hopefully the squirrels don’t spoil it! Thank you!!

@laurahiggins4712 11 месяцев назад

The grass is always greener over the septic tank! Maybe the bulbs will grower better, too. This is going to be a spectacular display in the spring. Love the drone shots and the music! Hi Dorothy!

@karenczerniak3925 11 месяцев назад

I love that you were using one of the PW compostable pots as your fertilizer spreader! Great idea!

@kristiosborne3 11 месяцев назад

I am a gardener so of course I like your content, but I keep coming back because of your sense of humor!

@kathille 10 месяцев назад

That bulb lawn is going to look spectacular!

@spinknits 10 месяцев назад

My grandfather used to plant rows and rows of gladiolus and sold them to flower shops and anyone who wanted to buy them. I remember running in between the rows with my sister.

@leneb1912 11 месяцев назад

Can we just fast forward to Springtime to see all of this glorious bloom? ❤😂😂😂

@karenpentz4160 11 месяцев назад

I don’t think I have ever planted that many bulbs in one go. Wow

@nothingpersonal878 11 месяцев назад

I planted 600 Hyacinths, in a 10’ diameter circle, under a Tamarac tree last fall. Let me tell you, the effort was 💯 worth it! In the spring the show was gorgeous and they lasted for weeks and weeks on end.

@suebohn5573 10 месяцев назад

I loved the drone footage at the end. I lived my entire life ( 70 years)in the north east and just moved to the deep south of Alabama. I miss the fall colors. So pretty!

@kathleenwilliamson174 11 месяцев назад

It will be beautiful next year. Planting bulbs makes my heart happy. To see them happily pop up after a long dreary winter to announce spring, yes!

@JRP58 11 месяцев назад

Beautiful drone shot at the end. You live in a gorgeous area. I can’t wait to see the spectacular display next spring. Dorothy’s enthusiasm made me smile.

@RedorGreen100 11 месяцев назад

Inspired! Now I have to convince my husband to let me do this to "his" lawn.

@didisinclair3605 11 месяцев назад

In dreary late February, I will smile, thinking of what a show you'll have in the spring!!!

@kelseroo1 11 месяцев назад

I am obsessed with bulbs! I just planted 100 tulips, 100 crocus, and 50 daffodills today.

@PeggyPippitt 10 месяцев назад

WOW, can't wait to see this area in the spring! I fight with voles eating my bulbs, but I keep trying. Dorothy is a beautiful attraction to any project.

@jacquiequam5791 11 месяцев назад

I love this idea of planting bulbs in a natural spot!! I can hardly wait to see them in the spring!!

@laurieanne9712 11 месяцев назад

LOVE bulbs & the expectation! Loved the song at the end, too!

@joannemcnaughton9604 11 месяцев назад

Brave lady, I'm sure my hubs wouldn't let me plant on our septic mound! I will live vicariously through u LOL. I'll be showing him how beautiful it looks in spring and maybe just maybe I'll convince him.

@rosemaryolchawski8631 11 месяцев назад

If hope the bulbs turn out well. The counting of the bulbs was hysterical! Made my day!

@SuzanneBundrick-u1n 11 месяцев назад

I would love to make a bulb lawn in my back yard. Beautiful. Dorothy living her best life!💕🌷🌹🌸

@MisBunnypics 11 месяцев назад

I swear by Bulb-Tone it really makes a difference. This is going to look fantastic, can't wait to see how it turns out.

@carmenbailey1560 11 месяцев назад

I can’t imagine planting all those bulbs, but you know come spring I’ll be looking for a beautiful display. Thanks for sharing. 👍❤️😊

@jennifertucker107 11 месяцев назад

I love bulbs. I often forget exactly where I have planted them even though I think I will remember. It's a nice surprise in spring.

@SmallHoldingAtHillhigh 11 месяцев назад

I had no doubt that you weren't place each individually... ha,ha... this is why I enjoy your videos! seriously, who has the time or patience for that?!?!?!

@BarbeeDoll77 11 месяцев назад

Love that. And here I thought planting 200 bulbs was rough !!! Can’t wait to see it in the Spring!! ❤️❤️💜

@bethheerten1132 11 месяцев назад

I love bulbs coming up through the grass. It is so lovely to see each spring.

@lynnthorson1349 11 месяцев назад

I can hardly wait to see the bulbs blooming in the spring! It's going to be a great show!

@debihall263 11 месяцев назад

I think this is going to be amazingly, beautiful! Love this...and Dorothy's appearance!

@pamelafarmer9675 10 месяцев назад

Great video! Every year I add more bulbs to my flower garden beds and every spring I smile at their beauty

@Cynthia-zz1vi 10 месяцев назад

Well you did everything to ensure the best turnout of the flowers, thanks for having a contest. I can’t wait to see in the spring all the beautiful color 😊❤

@lauramclennan7287 11 месяцев назад

Your naturalized bulb mound will be gorgeous 😍 That's a lot of bulbs!!

@Michellemybelle1996 11 месяцев назад

Love your music choices- lol at Eminem during the power planter part. Can’t wait to see the spring show!!

@kimbailey742 11 месяцев назад

Love Dorothy as a co-host! Happy planting people, may the free bulb God's shine upon two of us lol

@ernestturman706 11 месяцев назад

I love seeing Dorothy, that dog is beautiful, I digress, I started bulb laws a few years back, one in particular a crocus lawn. Every year I add around 4,000 or so. Can’t wait to see yours!

@melaniedale-sutton9801 11 месяцев назад

You make me laugh ... measuring out 900 teaspoons 😂 - super cute doggo!

@melissaHouseOfPink 11 месяцев назад

The drone footage at the end was spectacular! I cannot wait to see your bulb lawn next spring-its gonna be gorgeous!

@colinmcknight2590 11 месяцев назад

I love naturalized bulb plantings. I cant wait to see this lawn in bloom next spring.

@shesamadgardener 11 месяцев назад

Love the idea of a bulb lawn … can’t wait to see how it turns out in the spring!

@whiny-topical-beehive 11 месяцев назад

Now I see why people do bulbs! Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

@judyrhine234 11 месяцев назад

One of the easiest ways to have a beautiful spring. Can’t wait to see it.

@karenm5681 10 месяцев назад

You’re inspiring me to go plant some bulbs! 🌷🌷🌷No room in the garden? Doesn’t matter…plant ‘em in your lawn! All good!👍🏼

@optionalgamer9137 10 месяцев назад

I love the idea of a bulb lawn! How beautiful that will be in the Spring! Can't wait to see it!

@francesbarnett-bl8tz 10 месяцев назад

You are so fortunate to have gotten all of those bulbs in the ground! I know it will be gorgeous in the spring. I attempted planting a few bulbs this week, however, we are in a severe drought and with my red clay soil it was more than I could handle. I only got twenty five bulbs in the ground and gave up, waiting for rain before attempting bulb planting again. Love your channel!

@marcellabrubeck1582 11 месяцев назад

Now I want to plant two thousand bulbs in my lawn!

@natashawilliams2575 11 месяцев назад

The idea of a bulb lawn is so charming! I’m very excited to see how this emerges.

@idzneha 11 месяцев назад

Bulb lawn is exactly what I'm planning to do this year. My home is a new buy so my canvas is blank and I'm trying to add as many colors in it as i can. It's a lot of hard work but also very satisfying. I'm being super patient with growing plants from seeds and bulbs. Every year i add a few plants and then wait for next season to see the results. Gardening from seeds is real meditation. 😊

@jeanettebright3378 11 месяцев назад

Loves the beautiful drone footage of fall color. Thank you! Now we can look forward to seeing what will undoubtedly be a gorgeous display of spring blooms! Who wouldn't love more bulbs!

@agravinaude6586 11 месяцев назад

I can’t wait to see your bulb lawn! I know it will be gorgeous. I’m going to put bulbs in pots and hope that squirrels leave them alone. Cheers to the beautiful spring! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

@debrasweeney4957 11 месяцев назад

Yeah!!! I've been planting bulbs again these last three or four years.....love them so much. Something beautiful to look forward to.

@Margie1951 3 месяца назад

What a gorgeous Newfoundland nice to get a photograph with them with all the bulbs in bloom

@jillrenier3194 11 месяцев назад

Bahaha and I love Erin even more now with the auger song choice! Also totally here for the toss and go bulb method ❤️ it’s going to be a beautiful Spring show!!

@stephaniejackson4951 11 месяцев назад

I can’t wait to see the colorful show in March! Now we just hurry up and wait! Cheers to bulb season!

@joshuajohnson5125 11 месяцев назад

Can't wait to see how this looks in spring and best of luck fending off the squirrels!

@lisamatthiessen2456 11 месяцев назад

I love watching you, I grew up in Cedarburg and feel like I’m right back there when I watch your show, I’m now in Nebraska. I too have squirrels that love to re arrange my bulbs, but I still don’t give up on them, too pretty. Love Dorothy, my daughter has 2 Newfie’s, such good dogs, and will be my next dog for sure!

@snu3877 11 месяцев назад

I loved the Eminem song while you planted! That was one of the many songs I listened to today while folding/putting away laundry. I was bitter and resentful, since it was such a gorgeous day in CT, but alas.... the laundry was about to swallow the house. I still have around 6 plants to put into the ground, plus just a few bulbs, so I pray the frost holds off.

@rowergal4563 11 месяцев назад

That’s such a good idea for the mound. Good luck with the chipmunks though-cute creatures but so awfully destructive. Thanks for a chance at the giveaway.

@buckywill9322 11 месяцев назад

There was a field of daffodils behind a rental house I lived in while in college. I’ve always remembered it and have planted lots of daffodils that I enjoy in our yard every year.

@slomo1716 11 месяцев назад

Great idea to plant bulbs! Two autums ago I planted bulbs galore and the spring results was AMAZING. People would stop and take pictures of my teeny tiny little back garden so full of daffodils, tulips and other goodies. Spring #2 wasn't as spectacular. My only advice was DO NOT be disappointed when the bulbs are mislabeled, I planted what I thought were daffodils, labelled and mapped out my plantings, but the bulbs turned out to be tulips not daffodils. Thank goodness the tulips were beautiful.

@rachelprotzel 10 месяцев назад

Holy cow! That’s a lot of bulbs. Love the aerial footage at the end.

@MH-xv6ws 11 месяцев назад

Flowers from bulbs are a lovely Spring surprise!

@DigPlantWaterRepeat 11 месяцев назад

This is going to be gorgeous Erin! It reminds me of the daffodil field at Filoli gardens in Creekside, CA. When everything bloomed I couldn’t stop staring at it! Can’t wait to see how yours turns out. 💗

@triciacullum7577 11 месяцев назад

I can’t wait for spring to see your display. I think Dorothy feels the same. This is a great idea.

@boblisakolar4672 11 месяцев назад

What a lovely opportunity for beauty instead of plain grass!

@vickijackson9115 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely love watching you no matter what you are doing. Your personality is priceless. Beautiful property. Thank you for sharing.

@lorindachristine3291 11 месяцев назад

I wish I had the topsoil to grow a patch like this, but our bedrock does not mess around. Looking forward to living vicariously through you. And LOVING the music choices on the last two videos !!

@kmsch986 11 месяцев назад

I told my best friend I think I must have been ordering bulbs in my sleep this year bc I keep getting orders delivered by Holland, High Country, Scheepers and I was like - did I order these 😂 ? I must have forgot and then saw some I liked and ordered more- hundreds! Some people impulse shop clothes and drunk dial exes- I buy bulbs! I’m busy planting away before our frost. Can’t wait for spring.
