“One plant short of a hedge” is now my new go to phrase to replace not the sharpest tool in the shed 😂. And those superbeanas are absolutely amazing!!!
Yep I had been asking in comments too! I heard her address the answer yesterday on Garden Answer Highlights, and so nice of her to also comment about him in this video too. 🐱❤
Great to know you plant very late in the fall with success. I bought 25 new bare root roses from Palatine for delivery this spring. I potted them all up and planned to put them in the ground in the fall, when new beds were ready. The bed prep took longer than expected, and I missed my zone 5b last safe plant date of September 1st. I debated whether to overwinter them in the garage, but decided to go ahead and plant them all in the ground. Wish me luck!
I just throw some leaves on top.. I’m in zone 5 and I’ve planted iris this late in the fall and they were fine.. iris is tough as long as the drainage is good
I'd just throw a rose collar around them and fill them with a layer of wood mulch over a layer of compost (or clean shredded leaf litter). They should be just fine.
Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 Nice small plantings with little "Bloops" here and there😂 Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾👍 ❤Peggy❤
My favorite time to plant is fall. We get short springs that lead to hot humid summers that mean I'm out there fighting pests and hoping they're not drowning from the rain deluge that happens occasionally. I'll come home with discount my plants and my husband just smiles and says 'the blue bag'. Which means biotone and a shovel and he'll dig and plant where I want. I tore my ankle right before your mom broke hers and recently had a flare of an old should injury so he has been making sure I don't overdue it
@@lauragreen4899 heck yeah he is! It's funny but now he's starting to come home with random plant finds and says 'should I have gotten more instead of one?'. It's super cute
@@wandabrown508 easier said then done when I'm still harvesting tomatoes, peppers and green beans into October. Three years in this house and I'm starting to realize how short our winters are which means it's really easy to go go go
I need a tee shirt that says one plant short of a hedge! 😂😂😂 Beautiful plantings today, and great to check in with the kitties 🐈 🐈⬛ 🐈 Just love that little “boop” evergreen. Great way to start the week!
I’m enthralled with reblooming irises. I guess they have yet to “catch on”, although they’ve been around for more than a decade that I know of. The first one I saw startled me so much ( I saw it in my neighborhood in Boise while driving) I almost wrecked. We have had one in our yard for about 6 years. It took 3 years before it actually rebloomed. I have pictures of it blooming on Halloween.
My reblooming from High Country are all going right now in Colorado and it’s first year year they’ve been planted, never seen it happen this soon but I was so excited
If you're in Boise, you're not far from Sutton Iris! Have you visited them? If not, I highly recommend a visit during bloom season! I visited about 10 years ago after they moved there from California. Mike Sutton is an amazing Iris Hybridizer! He breeds a lot of rebloomers for cooler zones, now that he's in ID. I wonder if Laura's yellow iris is "Harvest of Memories?" It's a well-known yellow rebloomer. 😊
I'm just trying to get mine to bloom once! I got some"clumps" from a neighbor. Several rhizomes and healthy leaves, past blooming Season. I know they don't bloom the first year but this was the second and still nothing. I'm really bummed.😪
good to know! I have a couple of reblooming iris and I've never seen them bloom even once this year ! ok , may be next year then :) its very strange to me that fully grown iris that was blooming in the pot never gives any blooms the very next year after planting it , have so many that I bought last year and they never bloomed
Hi Laura, I love your attitude about the proper time to plant, up until you cant get a shovel in the ground! Your property is looking so good, I love following along your journey. I have learned so much from you over the yrs. and look forward to every mornings new adventure.
So inspiring to see Laura working away planting these beautiful plants. And I loved hearing Laura's creative process as she figures where to plant them. Thank you for taking time to show us tge beautiful October yellow iris: what a delight! The pond continues to amaze. Of course, Douglas & Russell were the stars of the video.
Ya know what I think is neat, Laura? When you ask us “What do you think?” about a placing of a plant and I think to myself “hmm, different.” And when you place it in a different spot I agree. Now isn’t that a success of your teaching us of good plant placement skills?! I love it! 😃
Oh Laura, you are my inspiration! I have watched your channel for years now, and I still get inspired by your work. I have planted items that I haven’t been happy with and thought I made a huge mistake that I would have to live with. But you have regenerated my mind to move the misplaced plants until I am happy. Thanks for lessening my anxiety for putting the plan in my head to fruition. Love to you and your family from South Texas!
I know you do not usually like to repeat plants from year to year but I have to tell you that sparkling amethyst there takes my breath. OK it has been so beautiful throughout the whole summer and now we’re in October and it’s so beautiful.. how old you have to think twice before not planting that again because it’s just too good. Thank you for sharing your videos with us I particularly like the hedge of the hydrangea.
I knew that blue glass wouldn't last long in the fireplace! 🙂 Lovely choice! You have an amazing sense of balance and colour. Greetings from a sunny day in Germany!❤
I didn't realize that you could see the Hartley from the pond area. 😮 I guess when I am watching your videos, I just see the area you're working around and not the surrounding areas. So, no matter where you are on your property, all you see is a beautiful landscape. 😊❤
No worries on tagging flowers before blooms are lost. I know you have videos of every row.....already. Your whole land has been wonderful to watch as you & your whole team has transformed so far. Please add more drone shots, and before & afters.
Lol Laura has already switched out the decorative blue fire stone, I totally knew she was just being nice but I think we all knew that was outta there asap! Haha😂
Besides loving all your content, watching your vision come to life and your precious family (including Paul & Bethany and all the animals), I so deeply appreciate the music that is used in your videos. There are some channels that I just can't watch or I mute because of the music. Ken and/or Aaron pick such soothing, pleasing music for the videos. I am also amazed at how much the property has transformed since you purchased the south garden. It truly is amazing! We are in Texas Zone 9 and it is torturous trying to work outside around here, especially this past summer. I would love to live and garden in a Zone 6, 7, or 8 and without 98% humidity! Watching your channel, I get to see how pleasant gardening can be in a milder climate. Your channel provides a peaceful, pleasant start to my day after my Scripture writing and prayer. God bless you all!
Like how comfy Russell is with the new chairs by the pond. That totem pole panicum is nice to hide behind during gusty winds. Got to remember that birch... neat contrasting dainty leaf structure.
Hi, love your channel! Have you thought to maybe replant the extra Sumac that you we’re planning to thin out in the south garden and move them into the new pasture property? It would be a great use of them and would probably go well with what you want to do there with the border. 😊🌸 thanks Vicki
This series in Chicago has been fantastic. From the Pond Head Quarters to the private homes. But of course, the most gorgeous one was the one you too were in awe of. We have never seen such a beautiful creation before. Shocked to see it in Illinois. That certainly surprised me. Washington, Oregon or maybe even my home state of California. The entire experience you shared with us has been amazing.& filled with inspiration. Thank you so very much. Cathleen
Have you gotten new Tulip Bulbs you will be planting? My huge order started arriving 2 weeks ago but the final 4 crates left today. I enjoy watch you do the Tulips and Daffodils! I am in Ohio, zone 6. I'm always so very happy when I get up, deal with all the Corgis (5 Corgis) and kitty chores,(7 outdoor cats) and can settle back with my first cup of coffee and watch and learn from you! I thank God every morning that I am able to tune in a always learn something NEW! Have an awesome week! Be Blessed.
Good Morning Laura !!! This is off topic Butttt!!!! I'm hoping you take us along when you cut back the over grown Sumac at the back of the south garden. My OCD is patiently waiting for that video 😂
Good Morning! 🍁Since I started watching you, I have changed the way I garden! I follow you on using the starter when I plant! My gardens are thanking me & look so much better! I am in love with the pond area, a wonderful sanctuary to go & relax! 😃👍🌿
Crazy Iris in October! I also have one iris that decided to wait until late September to start blooming, and is still going into October. Not just one or two blooms on one of the "reblooming" iris, but dozens of blooms on two plants that have been in constant bloom for weeks now. I divided most of my iris this year, but not this one which is situated among other iris that bloomed normally. I will definitely want to watch and divide this very odd, super late bloomer next year.
Laura, love your videos, now that we have moved into a new house in Eugene, I love to see the Oregon plants, though we are a different zone. Thanks for the ideas. Planting now!!
Now that the weather is changing, it will be nice to see how the garden goes to sleep, but you still have so much happy color throughout the gardens. 😊
Good Morning Laura, Aaron and the Garden Answer families near and far. I'm from chilly zone 6b in Northampton, PA. I picked up two Azaleas last week. So glad I can still plant them. Excited to see what they will look like next year.
Hi Laura, the iris isn't confused - there are many reblooming bearded iris varieties! I tend to go straight to the reblooming section of any website selling irises now, they are the most rewarding thing to see in the late autumn garden :) One of my favourite combinations in my garden is the white reblooming iris 'Immortality' planted next to the autumn colours of peonies and dogwoods.
Good morning, Laura ☕️ I do love the Hybiscus however, agree it needs to be moved. The row of Hydrangeas is going to be stunning! I love that little Mugo Pine😍 Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
Wow, talk about instant gratification with the hydrangea hedge! The small leafed birch is stunning by the pond/berm. I love how a breeze makes small leaf shrubs twinkle in the wind. It adds an element of whimsy to the garden.
You got lucky and got an extra reblooming iris! Once I discovered reblooming iris, that's all I'll plant now. It is so delightful to have a full crop of iris blooming again in autumn, and I'm lovin' it!
About the "confused iris" - my neighbor shared some iris with me that blooms twice a year - spring and fall. I wish I knew the variety, but alas I do not. Enjoying the new blossoms right now!
You guys have done such a great job, getting the pond and continuing on with the plants. 🌱 I watch your show on my TV, every morning with a cup of coffee. Love it.
Beautiful additions to your gardens. Thanks to you, I ripped out 2 perennials this weekend that just weren’t doing it for me. Always used to feel guilty doing that but now I can feel guiltless with your inspiration 😊. Next spring I’ll plant things that make me happy!
I’m with Laura, never too late to plant as long as the ground isnt frozen or waterlogged. Here in the UK I planted yesterday because the weather has been so mild and its always good to plant while things are still at their full height because you can gauge better how it will fit in. I notice you use biotone, in the UK thats like bonemeal, a root builder so perfect for autumn planting. Perfect choice of location for this plants today.
I always plant late in the Fall. And always add Hollytone to everything, together with peat moss. My plants always come up doing great in the following Spring.
Laura, you have such a good eye. When I first saw the Birch it really was not amazing…until you placed it in the garden! And I love the scent of Irises too…takes me back to my grandmother’s garden in Ohio. 💜
I’d have to go back and find the video of you planting the sparkling amethyst, but how many do you need to plant to get an effect like that. They’re beautiful.
Winter content request: I would love to see a series where you go back through photos of one bed or area in your house and discuss the changes you made year on year.
Yep, never have been disappointed with mugo pines as they are ulta-hardy especially living in Northeast Ohio where temp. can go way below freezing. Love your colorful hydrangeas with superbenas and the border must be an annual I would imagine. Your ornamental grass in the background is so pretty and thriving well. Thanks for some ideas for my borders and have a great day!
And since Laura never plants any bare root plants, it's worth reminding everyone it's the perfect season to do that until mid November. It's the cheapest and best way to get a nice hedge with very little outlay and of course roses. Don't pay for a nursery to put them in a pot and charge you 30% more 😉
No one has a whole load of plants sitting in containers all the time.. so it's not a question of whether they are better in their containers or not.. it's a question of whether people should be going out and buying plants and planting right now!!!
So glad you posted this video as I have wondered how late you can plant and you focused on smaller plants. I just moved to a house with a much smaller yard so was looking for solutions for planting a smaller space. My sister is going to help me with the landscaping and she watches your channel religiously. She does so well I am trying to get her to start her own RU-vid channel. We'll see how it all goes but, I am encouraged every time I watch your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Love the continued hedge! Looking at planting limelight hydrangeas in the spring in front of stone retains wall which is 4’ tall. How far from the wall and what is the pruning rule for these gorgeous plants? I am curious since you said you should have pruned them harder to protect for from heavy rains you had.
I planted Low Gro Sumac many years ago. It never looked like anything more than a weed. It was supposed to be fragrant but I’ve never seen any blooms. It’s so scraggly that other weeds are always growing in it (especially Rose of Sharon(another invasive weed!)). But I had to try everything in my one acre garden. Wish it looked half as good as yours.
Thanks for another fun video! In zone 5a, southern Wisconsin, I have always planted clearance perennials and shrubs into November and December with great success. Our soil has great drainage which helps. I also have Limelight Prime and cut some for arrangements because the rosy color is beautiful!
