CONGRATULATIONS on the article featuring The Impatient Gardener in the Summer 2024 issue of Midwest Living! You deserve it IMO!

Thank you! 💕

It's Heidi from Garden Crossings in Zeeland, MI who says SunPatiens don't like fertilizer. They are an online and retail garden center. They always grow a large drift of SunPatiens in their backyard. And they are beautiful! They just did a video and planted many SunPatiens in their Signature Garden. Looking forward to seeing your flowers in the pots grow throughout the season.

I actually think I remember reading that right in the description online after someone mentioned it to me last year. Well I've got little experiment going now.

@jeannesmith1761 4 месяца назад

Can I watch the rest of your show and that's what you came up with a curly Willow that was good

@ladikmk 4 месяца назад

Those Curly Willows are beautiful; very unique look and fits in so well with your gardens.

@lindaga820 4 месяца назад

Erin, I absolutely love what you've done with your containers, beautiful !!

I love these containers, the inspo photo and style of this video. Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to see it grow! I think I need a curly willow myself!

@peggymalabuyoc9150 3 месяца назад

So gorgeous, love your choices for these containers! Many thanks for your tips and information as well. Very enjoyable to watch. 👌🪴🥰

We planted two curly willow trees about 12 years ago that we started from pencil size twigs out of a flower arrangement. They are now about 30 feet tall and about 2 ft dia at the base. Have to prune them hard every year. Good luck with them.

@brookemontes3816 4 месяца назад

My fave pots I am doing this year are small gold mop cypress in center, peach coral bells, bronze sweet potato vine, and dusty Miller

@rbrown2746 3 месяца назад

Love this combo

@GardenerPhyl 4 месяца назад

Those curly willows are magnificent. One doesn’t really need trailing plants when your pots are so lovely. Looking forward to seeing everything fill in.

@wardm4 4 месяца назад

Ending with "I can't wait to show you what's next." All of us: Please be the banana.

@TheImpatientGardener 4 месяца назад

It's not the banana :) I feel like it's still a touch on the chilly side for it so I'm working my way through a few other containers first. But the banana is going to be GOOD. :)

@graffic13 3 месяца назад

Chartreuse started in my garden with apple green coral bells... and moved to the hostas and now it's pretty much in all the planters😂😂😂😂😂

@lindis2660 4 месяца назад

Yay! I love your view on not always needing a trailer. The “rules” not followed are usually the newest trend. Love your channel and your view on gardening.

@eileenlafever1983 4 месяца назад

Cut Irish spring bars into chunks and put around plants. Makes Deer stay away. Lasts all season. Found out the year the deer ate 75 hosta (first year they looked good) tried everything else, only thing that worked

@eileenhugelier4095 4 месяца назад

Love the curly willow! A few years ago I used curly sticks as decoration in a pot, they rooted and now I have a TREE! In the landscape! Ha!

Greeting's from Ireland, Great video and beautiful curly willow's. We have fifty eight pot's and four flower beds in a small front garden and out back there is a glasshouse and no dig garden bed's. My wife has no interest in gardening and has told me the front garden look's like a mini garden centre. Fifty two pot's are perennial's and six are for annual's for the front windowsill's. My project for next autumn is a no dig flower bed. I have lot's of perennial's in pot's that I can split. I make my own compost in a three bay system and should have enough for extra flower bed's.

What a fun and beautiful planter combination. Love it!

@lynnharrington9202 4 месяца назад

Hi Erin! Beautiful container. You need to watch a video Janey did today from Dig, Plant, Water Repeat. It shows good practices for helping your body out when gardening. Hip hinge is what you need while planting these😂

@christinestefanides2494 4 месяца назад

What pretty containers, Erin! Unique look with great scale.

@FernsAndForest 4 месяца назад

Erin, this is a great video! It addresses the same challenges I've had in finding/choosing plants. The combination of plants for your driveway pots is gorgeous, and I look forward to updates as the season progesses. I am choosing to do lots of pots this year, and raised planters, partly to avoid (hopefully) dealing with jumping worms. Like you, designing containers has become a passion. Thanks for bringing us along!

@newt52864 4 месяца назад

So funny, when I saw them I thought of the pots in town near Swarthmore College, PA, which is around the corner from me 😉 And then you mentioned seeing them in PA 😁 TFS, so cool 🤩🤩🤩

@emkn1479 4 месяца назад

We have a curly willow tree and wow, does it grow fast 😳 it’s huge and I absolutely love it! I think willows in general are fast growing. PS THE EXPANDING FOAM IN THE POT LIP IS GENIUS 🤯

@laurieanne9712 4 месяца назад

Always love exposure to a new shrub--curly willow! Loved the whole look you went for!

@dylan8285 4 месяца назад

If u thought the birch was bad just wait for when u take these willows out 😂. I’ve bought the 6 pack impatiens and fertilized heavy and they became monsters in full sun here in MI. Like 3ft tall by 2 ft wide of course plenty of moisture was given too

@valjalava1951 4 месяца назад

Oh whoh these containers are so beautiful just love this look

@MariMari-vq8hl 4 месяца назад

I am now wanting 2 big permanent pots as show stoppers for your long/steep driveway (granted, it’s not as long as hers!) 😂 🪴 I’m going to feel fancy adding these

@angielyons2146 4 месяца назад

I live in Ohio and I planted a curls willow close to my deck because it had such great branches. It was in the shrub section at Lowes and the tag said it would only grow about 8 feet tall. That thing was either tagged wrong or it loved its location because it grew to be about 25 feet tall within about 3 years🤦🏻‍♀️ and I eventually had to cut it down after 10 years of it being planted because it was totally wrong for the space. Now I’m always second guessing what any plant tag says😂🤭

These containers are wonderful!! Love the pops of bright, cheerful color! The willows look great. Will be fun to see them grow and more fun to see what you’ll do next!

@lindabergman932 4 месяца назад

Hi Erin, I planted a Crawley willow in our front yard some 10 years ago. That bush turned into a beautiful 30’ tree , we kept it trimmed up so we could actually walk underneath it like a regular willow tree! We did have to take it down at that point because it was just a holy mess but that was our fault for letting it go wild. I bought another one and this one I’m gonna keep it in check at about 10 to 15 feet. They are absolutely lovely , I think you’re going to enjoy yours too❤

@vickijackson9115 4 месяца назад

I have 2 large immovable pots that I plant corn in. They look great, tall and green throughout summer and fall. I just leave the dried stalks in for winter decoration till spring when I pull them out and start again. Easy peasy!

@patrinamason8164 4 месяца назад

I’m so excited about the SunPatiens’ test. I grow a lot of them. And the more plants I have that need less fertilizer the better.

@kathleenhall3868 4 месяца назад

Puget Sound 8a here. I use licorice vine every year in containers, both the chartreuse and the grey. They can grow to 4 ft+; I tip prune early to get a bushier look but by October, some are still 3 ft. I often use in hanging baskets for this reason. Pest free. Not successful wintering over, tho; wish I knew how to propagate tender tip cuttings.

@heherttu 4 месяца назад

My trick for large containers is root bags. It is so much easier to clean up the pots when you can just lift them up from the handles and dump. Love your containers this year also! You are setting trends for sure.

@TheImpatientGardener 4 месяца назад

Great tip!

@reginaneufeld1092 4 месяца назад

That will be beautiful! Can't wait to see them in a month or so

@KP-gw5zv 4 месяца назад

What beautiful containers. Just a small note, for the impatients, I for one did not read the tag one season and I planted these plants in my north side of the townhouse. I water and fertilized these plants just about every other day. They became huge and thicker and taller then what they were suppose to. The comment that I got from many people was: " Where did you get those plants? I sure would love to have them in my shade garden." I had to laugh and then reply, " I have fertilized them every other day. They do not grow this way." My mistake more or less. They did last pretty much the whole season until the harsh frost. At the time I was living in a zone 5 now I live in a zone 7/8. Have a wonderful day.

@lindawhite3238 4 месяца назад

I have one of those in the middle of my front yard. It’s a little bit too big for the space so have been braiding some of the unruly branches together. Looks kinda cool. Thanx for all your videos. Love them!

@onegardenatathyme 4 месяца назад

Absolutely beautiful containers Erin!! I love using Sunpatiens, I find they do great with the osmocote and that’s all I give them the whole season. They don’t seem to like the water soluble or at least too much of it throughout the season. Love your channel so much!

I love using Sunpatients in areas that get not enough sun but then gets to much sun. I learned they fill in pots if given the room. I would of put just two in each pot.

@discolemonade8794 4 месяца назад

Love the curly willows in the pots! Would you please share what you used to stain the pots? I've been refinishing my containers this spring and would love some tips. Thank you!

@TheImpatientGardener 4 месяца назад

I just used plain old wood stain (Minwax brand). It’s held up surprisingly well.

@sandraeriksen9818 4 месяца назад

@annesedgwick7303 4 месяца назад

Hello! Do you ever root prune to keep trees and shrubs in containers longer? I’ve never tried it and wondering if you have tips?

@TheImpatientGardener 4 месяца назад

I have on a couple of occasions. It's a good method, and important to take a proportional amount of top growth off as well. Plants live for years in pots using that kind of method.

@annesedgwick7303 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much! I love your channel - seeing a video from you is always such a treat in my day

@kathy5216 4 месяца назад

Do deer bother curly willow!?

@TheImpatientGardener 4 месяца назад

My guess is that they would be interested in tasty those tender tips. I've had them go after pussy willows and the only willow I've found to be very deer proof is Salix purpurea. I'll spray these like I spray everything else.
