Hi, there! I just found your channel and have watched a few on shade beds. The one plant that really compliments a Hosta bed is Solomon's seal and I never see it mentioned. It is so hardy and easy to maintain. I am in zone six in Arkansas and they do very well. They multiply each year, plus you can break the rhizomes into several pieces to plant in different locations. Check them out, you'll be glad you did.

Glad you enjoyed it!

So glad!

Awesome, thank you!

You are so welcome!

You are so welcome!

That is heartbreaking

Sooo...what is planted in your prayer garden? Is it texture? Flowers? Scent? Is it hidden, a nook? I actually want to create a little private area for that somewhere in my garden..interested to hear your thoughts...

Predominantly, l have hosta, ferns, coral bells, bleeding hearts, jacobs ladder , ruby red slippers hydrangea, asiatic lilies. Planning on adding brunnera this year. Tried adding Toad lilies & cyclamen last year but the squinnies dug them up. We hang boston ferns also hand have a nice seating area with 2 rockers. Not a lot of sent but looking to add that hopefully this year. The garden runs the length of the back of our house and is about 25 feet wide. It was dirt and very steep incline to begin with. We have added tons of dirt and compost and big rocks. There are levels and raised beds with rock walls between two paths. We put a wooden fence with an arbor on the end facing the Gravel road for privacy. There are bird houses and hummingbird feeders here and there. I would send pics but don't know how to attach them to this. I am so excited to create this spring in the prayer garden and memory garden and maybe even create a new one this year! It's my passion as I can tell it is yours too! I look forward to your videos and think of you as my long distant friend! Blessings!

Why..thank you☺️

I have some, but not as much as I used to at my other home.

Welcome to our little community!. Thanks for watching!!

Glad you enjoy it!

So nice of you

Wonderful!

Welcome aboard!

I will think about a solution for you when I do my "what would Michelle do" series 😀

@@gardeningTLC thanks.

You are so welcome!

Noted! We will see if I do that....

Glad you like them!

You are so welcome!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoy it!

Any time!

You are so welcome Brenda😃

Yeah, I originally had ferns in the video then took them out...they can be invasive under the right circumstances...and I have a lot of beginner gardeners that watch. I did not want to create a nightmare for anyone. So I erred on the side of caution. I have planted plenty of ferns, but all in dry shade or enclosed areas where they could not get away. They add great texture to the garden.

You are so smart! The ferns never come back exactly where they were planted.

😇

Sorry 🙁

Because you are not a communist.

Welcome!!

Haha

Wow...I have never had them eat mine and I do have rabbits...It is crazy how things are so different in different places. Thank you for that information.

I don't have a lot of experience with it....but let me try and address it in the "what would Michelle do series"

Yes. They actually want to be divided every 4-5 years

Thanks for the question. I will address that in my series in March. "What would MIchelle do" so stay tuned....great question, you are not the 1st to ask it.

No...not yet

Are the listed names not big enough to read? It was one of the reasons I started listing every plant I talked about.......just in case I talk too fast.......which I know I do

Oh no....Deer are fickle things and adapt from region to region...I'm so sorry about your bleeding hearts
