Hi Michelle 😊 I swear that this channel is like having a bff that knows everything I need to learn with gardening 🙌🏻 Thank you so much for all you do to share this amazing channel. Congrats on hitting 25000!! 🥳🎊🎉
Not a shrub, but the Columbine in my garden is breathtaking this year! Started blooming two weeks ago, and they are still going strong. Zone 4, middle of Montana (Lewistown).
You are awesome, I've been gardening for 20 years and I'm still learning so much from you. You are for sure one of my favorite RU-vidrs to watch. Thank you so much for all of the helpful information : )
I have foxglove beardtongue (penstemon) that blooms gloriously for nearly 4 weeks from mid-May to early June with airy sprays of white tubular florets (or bells). I love watching bees go spelunking into the blooms and leaving only their fuzzy behinds visible 😂 I'm in southeast Indiana zone 6b.
After seeing this about weigela and my neighbor has this stunning older type(I think) with normal green leaves but such a vivid red bloom that I just couldn't help notice. So on a whim we went to the garden center and got 3 different weigelas on clearance 3 for less than the price of 1. Spilled wine, monet and minuet.
I love your informative videoes. Thank you. I have butterfly bushes, angelonia snapdragons that are still blooming besides the plants you mentioned. We're in a drought here and it's so hot that I've failed watering my garden due to health problems also. Your garden center looks great.
Thanks thats very interesting about the lupine. So I was gone when the seeds spread. I had lots of lupine now. It is red yellow not my pick but pretty. So if all the new ones are blue that’s fantastic. I also have one Texas bluebonnet blooming, winter sown only one survived.
Congratulations on your 250,000 Michelle!!!! That's great! You have an awesome channel with info I can use in my zone (NH)! Thank you!!! One thing that is wowing me through the lull in my garden flowers is a dappled Japanese Willow shrub!!! Its so pink and gracefully swaying in the breeze I LOVE it! (Cindy)
@@philisbramlett6890 just called dappled willows- didn’t notice last two years how pink they get on the tips- weather must have played a big factor in them, being perfect this year!
Fantastic video, Michelle! Your channel is my favorite gardening channel. The information you provide is always spot on and I so appreciate your willingness to share your vast knowledge and experience with us. Many thanks!
Congratulations 🎊 on 25K! I'm also in Illinois, supposedly now a 6a. I am loving your channel, and hoping to make a trip up to your garden center soon.
Hi Michelle, congratulations on 25K viewers!! I started watching at about 1200, and I am not surprised at the growth. Your videos are fun, informative, and approachable (if that makes sense). My Baptisia are just finishing. I have some gorgeous Dianthus still blooming. I bought them from the annuals section atthe nursery, so I thought maybe they were a less hardy variety, but they came back gorgeous!! They are in a spot where I need colour, so I always put annuals there. Nothing has ever done well there until now except Verbena one year (but not the next). I have tried about 7 different types of annuals, so this was a wonderful surprise. Are there annual Dianthus? I'm zone 5 as well.
When I moved last summer(to the next town), I dug up my Walker's Low catmint and they are doing so good! I am trying so hard to get my small backyard to look good but the vines and weeds grow so fast, any suggestions before I cry! I want to thank you for saving my tomatoes. I asked you what to do because I over fertilized and you saved the day♥
It is exciting to garden in a new area. BUT, get rid of the wèeds 1st!! Even if it takes until the next season and you prep the area by covering with heavy cardboard and compost, the long term is way worth the work and wait at the beginning.
Not well in my experience....they need good drainage. The ones I have were backfilled with compost and I conditioned the soil with gypsum. I also have ones I planted but made raised bed areas with compost.
Congratulations! I have some beautiful lupines that bloomed late May early June. Question: I cut the old bloom stalks down but most of the foliage looks more ratty after that for the summer. Is that normal?
I have zero luck with roses. I've had knockout roses, David Austin and big box store shrub roses. Every one of them gets diseases. How can I grow them successfully?!
Hard to say without more info..could be so many things....but. good drainage, full sun, consistent watering...and making sure bugs don't eat them up are probably the 4 most important things.
