Here is what my back deck garden looks like in early June! There is still a lot of planting to be done on this deck and I think some plants are dying.

Very beautiful colors and collection. Trying to put my colors and collection together. Frustrating with this heat. 🥵Thanks for sharing.

@ChicagoGardener 23 дня назад

The heat came much earlier and had been so intense this year! Both my plants and I have not enjoyed it 😆

I admire your garden so much. I found your channel a couple years ago & I thought I had subscribed but then I stopped getting your videos. I recently found you again through Janey’s channel, & thought oh, I remember her. It was then that I realized I was not subscribed. I am now! I have a small 35x20 ft courtyard east facing back garden, full sun. My front garden is even smaller (full shade), just lining my walkway & a small bed against my neighbors house. I loved seeing how you positioned your pots. I love your bucket planter, it’s on my wish list. Oh, I only do container gardening. I’m excited to see how you are gardening in a small space. 🪴❤️🪴

I’m glad you found your way back here!! What are some of your favorites your growing in containers this year?

@tracythomas343 2 дня назад

@@ChicagoGardener each year I have new favorites. This year I’m just loving echinacea and the alliums in the spring were spectacular. ❤️🪴 Of course I have many others that I just love. 💕

The deck garden is looking great. Thank you for sharing. Soil Ph can impact the availability of iron in the soil. If you find yourself constantly adding iron, then you might want to check the soil Ph. Iron availability is lowest in soils with a pH between 7.5 and 8.5. My wife and I discovered this when we were adding soil acidifiers to help our "blue' hydrangea regain the blue (now pink) flowers. Lowering the Ph had the bonus of also fixing the chlorosis issue.

@ChicagoGardener 23 дня назад

Thank you so much!! I’m going to check if I keep having to add more iron.

I have fire light tidbit and let's dance rave (both at least 2 years old, both containers, both morning sun only). My let's dance rave broke dormancy in mid Feb and my tidbit in the beginning of April. My tidbit is currently forming it's panicle buds. I think tidbit just starts later. I'm zone 10, no frost, so our plants start earlier than other zones with frost.

I’m a new subscriber from the NW suburbs of Chicago. I so love your roof top garden. Your hard work pays off of how beautiful your garden is. Where is your go to garden center in the Sheffield area? When we use to live in the Roger’s park area in the late 80’s I go Gethsemane Garden which was just across Edgewater Hospital that closed a while ago. I hope you don’t mind, but you look like Princess Kate Middleton of Wales. 😊

@ChicagoGardener 2 дня назад

I have been told I look like her before! Gethsemane is my go to even though it’s not in the Sheffield neighborhood just because of how large it is. A good one close by us is Jayson Home and Garden.

My Fire Light Tidbit is just starting to set buds. It’s planted in the ground in full sun. It’s in its third year and has bloomed very well and so impressed with its bloom color even in its first year. I’m located near Niagara Falls so similar zone.

I started flower gardening during Covid. I never got into because I am scared of spiders and bugs but I have slowly become better. My question is how do control spiders? I moved my bench’s out of my patio because with all the plants there are lots of spiders.

@ChicagoGardener 7 дней назад

I can’t promise this will work for everyone, but gardening has made me less afraid of the insects I used to be afraid of! I would run from bees and spiders but now they don’t bother me at all. A poisonous spider would be a different story though…

@uglypieceofcrap 23 дня назад

Just discovered your page and I’m in love with your garden. I will have a small patio backyard garden and the vision I have is exactly what you have! Absolutely gorgeous and fun for a small space garden. I’m so excited for what my garden will look like. ♥️ what are those little black pads your pods are sitting on? Can you please share!

@ChicagoGardener 23 дня назад

That’s so exciting, you’ll have to let me know what you end up planting! The black pads under the pots are lifts to keep it from sitting directly on the wooden deck. I get them from Amazon: amzn.to/3VVOqYN

Thank you for sharing!!! I can’t wait. 😊😊😊 I will definitely be watching you for more inspiration. Your garden is so dreamy. 🤤

I planted white & rose gomphrena next to one another. Now I have a blush colored gomphrena blooming. Go figure?

Where do you get your plant supports? The ones in the dahlia pots look sturdy. I'm always on the lookout for the perfect plant support.

@ChicagoGardener 16 дней назад

Those are from Home Depot and they are my favorite! I swear if I get similar cages anywhere else, they aren’t as good quality. If you google “Home Depot 19” plant cage” it should come up

Hello ! I ‘d like to know what doyou do with your perenials during the winter ?! , in Chicago ?

@ChicagoGardener 21 день назад

Some stay outside if they’re cold hardy enough. My raspberries, rhubarb, coneflowers and rudbeckia have all survived winter on the deck uncovered. Anything more tender that I care a lot about gets moved to the garage. What happens once those plants get to large to carry down, I’m not sure 🤣

@rebeccaandro8910 23 дня назад

My begonias really suffered in that heat wave, too- the ones in more sun anyway. My dragon begonias in the shade did better than the ones like yours. I had to rip out one begonia plant because the stems were complete mush. :(

@ChicagoGardener 23 дня назад

They were definitely not prepared for the heat! Luckily it’s been a bit better the last week or so and they seem to be recovering.

@Lemons2050 23 дня назад

Beautiful garden. Have a question, I have planted a dwarf hydrangea and in another pot a at last rose, can I leave them out thru winter, I live in central Iowa? Thanks so much

@ChicagoGardener 23 дня назад

What is your growing zone? The recommendation is not to leave perennials outside over winter in containers unless they are hardy two zones below your growing zone.

I overwinter covering the plant with fall leaves and in spring I do a hard pruning and gives me plenty of blooms to appreciate every summer.

I might do the black eyed susan vine next year instead of the morning glory. If the morning glory doesn;t bloom, she is OUT of my 2025 garden!

That’s what I’m thinking for next year too 😬 my morning glory has never bloomed consistently.
