Your garden is so beautiful! I’m very impressed with how much you have in that space. The ground cherries are so yummy! I have 3 in my garden. 😊

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

Do you mostly eat them raw or do you do anything else with them?

@AJsGreenThumbLLC Год назад

Gorgeous! Just a riot of color! I am looking forward to the back garden.

@LindaLolaa Год назад

Your gomphrena looks great! My orange & carmine gomphrena are all floppy and disheveled looking after all the rain we have been getting. I have to now support them to get the stems to grow upright cause I am getting some wonky looking stems! However my light pink gomphrena is totally fine and very sturdy because I think it is a more bushier variety.

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

Omg yes! I noticed that last year, the pink and purple are much bushier and sturdier with shorter stems.

@patriciaanderson2955 3 месяца назад

Looks like butterfly weed.

@nancyhajeski3360 2 месяца назад

I'm a new subscriber and a fellow container fan who is delighted to have discovered your amazing roof garden vlog. I was wondering what you use to fertilize your pots to keep the blooms coming.

@ChicagoGardener 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much!! I’m not tied to any particular brand but what I use the most often is Fox Farm for my veggies and proven winners water soluble for my flowers. I try to remember to fertilize once a week but it’s actually probably more like every two weeks 😆

@michellefrance1165 Год назад

Absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤ love it!! Is the mystery plant milkweed?

@szilviakecskes3208 Год назад

Hi Bethany, are you going to make a summer flower tour in Chicago? I was in Chicago in April this year and loved the parks and gardens, it would be good to see how it looks in summer. Your rooftop garden is also beautiful! Greetings from Budapest

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

That’s a great idea! I’ll grab some video of the different gardens we visit this summer around Chicago.

@szilviakecskes3208 Год назад

I'm looking forward to see them😊 thank yo so much! Have good weekend!

@privateperson5769 Год назад

Are you kidding me ! The flowers have grown so much so quick Looking really awesome 🌸🌹🌺Love it so much. Well done you. I love the way you have them arranged , not just a big mess of containers and plants like at my place lol I wish I could get my zinnias to grow like that ..do you fertilise your zinnias? Love that salvia and the Gaillardia

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

Thank you so much!! I fertilize the zinnias with a bloom boosting fertilizer about once a week.

@lilacmile Год назад

Gaillardia (blanket flower), pentas (star flower) and ageratum (Mexican paintbrush or floss flower)? 17:51

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

Thank you!!! Screenshotting this so I don’t forget.

@michellejames5953 Год назад

It looks like maybe “blue horizon” ageratum

@qingaltaffer8432 Год назад

Love your deck garden! Absolutely gorgeous! Your strawberry plants are doing so well. What do you think if the strawberry leaves are curled up? Too much sun or too crowded in the planter… Anyways thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it!

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

Are the leaves still green or are there any spots or white powdery mildew on them?

@qingaltaffer8432 Год назад

@@ChicagoGardener it looks like they have white powdered mildew

@brixandblooms Год назад

You could grow vertically to fit more on the deck.

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

I’ve been thinking of adding a greenstalk! It’s windy up here but I’ve heard they can handle the wind.

@marilynruggeberg Год назад

Beautiful Garden. Your Blanket Flower, Guillardia? Is perennial.

@brendenrauch2631 Год назад

Hello Bethany! Fellow Chicago gardener here too. At 17:38 you show a pot. The orange flowers look like a type of Coreopsis and the one on the right looks a bit like Joe Pye. Annuals or perennials?

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

I think they’re all perennials for my zone but I’m going to treat them like annuals

@Sweetlady1916 Год назад

Omg, your garden has flourished.❤❤ Do you get powdery mildew on your zinnas??

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

I got it a lot on my zinnias the first year when I purchased the plants. I’ve had less of an issue once I only started growing zinnias I started from seed. I don’t know if there’s an actual reason for that but that’s what I’ve noticed 😆 This year I haven’t had any powdering mildew issues bc it’s been abnormally dry.

@josephburns8787 Год назад

Looking great. So much color. How often do you feed your gomphrena? Mine as so much smaller.

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

About once a week but I did start them indoors in mid-March!

@sheliafears591 Год назад

I love everything. Where is the herb stands from? ❤ It looks like it 3 tiered

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

It’s from gardeners supply!

@jerryp2790 Год назад

beautiful garden! do you pinch the apical meristem off of your zinnias when they’re young?

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I didn’t this year bc all of my zinnias are planted slightly closer together than recommended so I didn’t want to make them bushier. But I still get a ton of blooms throughout the season even when I don’t pinch!

@caracoates4834 Год назад

Milkweed ?

@adrianhall1045 Год назад

Love your container garden. Do you get slugs that eat your leaves? If so, how do you control them? Help, I'm trying to get my container garden going!

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

I don’t get a ton of slugs! I think being up so high helps. I’ve only ever found two in the years I’ve gardened and I think they came in with the plants I got from the garden center.

@susandavidson3610 6 месяцев назад

Beautiful 😮 Do you grow from seed or purchase plants or sets ?

@ChicagoGardener 6 месяцев назад

Most of the flowers I grow from seed. Veggies are usually starts I purchase because I only grow one or two of each!

@debbiewiseman1 4 месяца назад

For the petunias …do you have to always remove the dead ones?

@ChicagoGardener 4 месяца назад

Supertunias you don’t have to deadhead which is one reason I love them!

@susanherley8450 Год назад

Do you pinch your dahlias? I am trying both ways. One pinched one not. I also joined the American Dahlia Society MW northern suburbs. You sure have a green thumb with petunias. Mine get scraggly even if cut back

@ChicagoGardener Год назад

Do you grow the proven winners supertunias? They do the best for me! I pinched half of the dahlias last year and didn’t notice much of a difference so this year I’m just letting them be!

@latinlily2883 Год назад

Butterfly weed?

Eden brothers wildflower mix is NOT native. That company, like many others, unfortunately, knowingly lie to their customers about this. Cornflower and garden cosmos are not native to usa. (Timestamp around 28:00) You planted the Echinacea and milkweed which is native. Not that hard for companies to be honest. I have seen so many people throw those invasive wildflower packs from eden brothers into huge landscapes thinking they were planting native. Eden brothers wants people to do that. They share on their page of customers calling the regional packs "native" and they do not correct it! In the descriptions of their packaging, some are labeled only as "wildflower" (which is manipulative) and some ARE labeled as "native," which I think was a mistake on their part as that was the intended marketing but not something I think they actually wanted to post on their page. I used to get stuff from there but it's so hard to support them after learning about that.
