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

@TheImpatientGardener 24 дня назад

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.

@ladikmk 25 дней назад

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

@brookemontes3816 25 дней 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

@lindaga820 25 дней назад

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

@lindis2660 24 дня 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.

@afriendofB 24 дня назад

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.

@jeannesmith1761 23 дня назад

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

@GardenerPhyl 24 дня 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.

@peggymalabuyoc9150 16 дней назад

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

@saiburravocc 18 дней назад

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!

@rbrown2746 16 дней назад

Love this combo

@lynnharrington9202 25 дней 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😂

@eileenlafever1983 24 дня 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 25 дней 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!

@snu3877 24 дня назад

How cool is that?!

@annamaria54321 23 дня назад

What a fun and beautiful planter combination. Love it!

@vickyroberson2441 25 дней назад

Beautiful!! However, I was entirely unsuccessful in not laughing when you were standing between those two 6’ trees! I didn’t realize you were so short! 😄 love your channel!

Fertilizer will give you more foliage

@nicholasryan5401 23 дня назад

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.

@FernsAndForest 25 дней 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!

@christinestefanides2494 25 дней назад

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

@wardm4 25 дней назад

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

@TheImpatientGardener 25 дней 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. :)

@laurieanne9712 25 дней назад

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

@newt52864 25 дней 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 🤩🤩🤩

@dylan8285 23 дня 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

@emkn1479 25 дней 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 🤯

@valjalava1951 25 дней назад

Oh whoh these containers are so beautiful just love this look

@michellefrance1165 25 дней назад

Very pretty and unique containers, that's why I love your garden style!!!

@patrinamason8164 24 дня 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.

@lindabergman932 24 дня 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❤

@barbkenas5663 24 дня назад

Gorgeous!

@kathleenhall3868 25 дней 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.

@CTR6067 24 дня 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!

@sandistolle4874 23 дня назад

I love the curly willows! So pretty. Honestly, the birch muti-trunks were nice to.

@kaystinebrink1220 25 дней назад

@MariMari-vq8hl 25 дней 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

@lorihanby6733 23 дня назад

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!

@Goosesillyduckgardens 24 дня назад

I’m really digging this stretch into the bright and tropical colors!❤

@heherttu 24 дня 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 24 дня назад

Great tip!

@KP-gw5zv 24 дня 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.

@jillsimpson8716 25 дней назад

Gorgeous! I love this combo. Perfect video to watch with stormy weather here in Iowa.

@juliafiore120 24 дня назад

Good morning, Erin☕️ I think the Curly Willows looks fantastic! Have a Blessed Day 😊

@5262janna 21 день назад

Love the mixture! Can’t wait to watch it grow!

@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki 25 дней назад

Erin, these should be so pretty as they grow up. Love your unique style ( even if this was inspired elsewhere)

@angielyons2146 25 дней 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😂🤭

@reginaneufeld1092 24 дня назад

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

@vickijackson9115 24 дня назад

Love the containers. Especially the Curly Willow. Really enjoy watching your videos. ☺️

@lindawhite3238 25 дней 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!

@carolrose4784 24 дня назад

Love the curly willow…I’m going to copy your plantings! ❤

@salimorton641 25 дней назад

I like the Sun patients and the bright pop of yellow. Looking forward to the next video!

@DevonSmedley 24 дня 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!

@TheImpatientGardener 24 дня назад

Thank you for sharing that!

I have heard the same about sun patients,I could be Wrong but I think it was P Allen Smith ,but last year I used Bio tone that I use on everything because I forgot they were huge and tons of blooms 🌸🌸🌸🌸 oh I also had in ground and in pots ,it does Wonderful in the south 🍃🌿

@eileenlafever1983 24 дня назад

You can hang bars on deer paths too

@seedsaverdiane5636 25 дней назад

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.

@gardengatesopen 25 дней назад

I feel like the thumbnail of this video shoulda been more like a 1940's newspaper headline: BIG SCOOP ON CURLY WILLOW!! Seriously tho, those are going to be awesome pots!!

@sandraeriksen9818 24 дня назад

I can never keep sun patients watered enough in containers 🫤

@discolemonade8794 24 дня 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 24 дня назад

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

Possible option for chartreuse- Nepeta- Chartreuses on the Loose

@annesedgwick7303 25 дней 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 25 дней 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 25 дней назад

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

@kathy5216 25 дней назад

Do deer bother curly willow!?

@TheImpatientGardener 25 дней 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.
