At around 15:20 I misspoke and called my coral bells (aka Heucheras) Canterbury bells. Innocent mistake since I just spoke about Canterbury bells. So much to remember. 🤪

@jillkeim3587 Месяц назад

I knew what you meant. So many plants, so little time ☺️

@lindasisk5420 Месяц назад

"If we blink it's going to go away," spoken like a TRUE gardener. It looks GREAT!

42 minutes of a video from YOU is a DAY MAKER!!

I love your garden tours! Your enthusiasm is contagious! We moved into our new home last Fall, it was a rental property and not one thing was planted by the previous owner! Not one thing! Having left our country property after 30 years I’m starting from scratch with this blank slate this Spring. I started with two panicle hydrangeas and a Royal Raindrops Crab Apple. I’m filling in the emptiness with a few perennials and raised bed vegetables, and annuals for color. That might be all this year, then plans for next year and beyond. I’m 62 years old and still looking to the future with my yard and garden. Thank you for sharing, you keep me dreaming!

@rrano6331 Месяц назад

Peony…may also be buried too deep…the transformation of you property has been wonderful, thank you for taking us along on your life journey.

Everything is looking so good Laura! This spring has been so kind to the garden. The plants truly appreciate each Season! Can’t wait to see what you have planned for the front 🥰

@diannedolha2318 Месяц назад

Your garden is looking spectacular and it's wonderful to hear how pleased you are because us gardeners know the thought and effort it takes to get to this!

It changes so fast. Good that you made this video now 👍

@annwoleben5439 Месяц назад

Never bored when taking a tour of your garden! It is so beautiful and intriguing - a glimpse of heaven perhaps. Thank you for showing the "life" parts, too. It makes me feel better about the interior of our garage. We live in a heavily wooded area, no grass - just moss - primarily shade plants. We have squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, deer, and a lone coyote - always having to contend with these creatures. That's one reason your garden is so peaceful to me - love the sun you get, too. Thank you for resuming your tours now that warmer temps are here! {Coastal Virginia 7b}

@Trishthegardener Месяц назад

This was an amazing video! Everything is so beautiful! After seeing this, I now realize I NEED alliums in my garden!!

Thank you! I’m so surprised it grew so fast. Time flies! 😃💜

@AJsGreenThumbLLC Месяц назад

Gosh your Benjamin Britten is looking really good! The petals have a sheened/ jeweled effect. The color is amazing. I guess it's a climber although looking on David Austin's website only lists a shrub rose. This was a fun tour!

@mygardeninbloom Месяц назад

Your garden tours are such a joy. Do you remember where you purchased the urn by the front gate? I really love that one! ❤💜❤

@chrissheets4865 Месяц назад

Everything is looking so pretty! That boxwood hedge is great. I remember when you planted those little babies. So many favorites-that columbine, the alliums, lobelia under the lollipop trees were a favorite last year, YAY! Thanks for the tour!

@HowsItGrowing Месяц назад

Thank you! 💜 seems like not long ago and now is huge! Thank you for being here for so long. 😃

Everything looks so beautiful!! I might take your advice and get rid of the allium foliage in my garden as it does look terrible. You made me laugh out loud when you thought the stick was a snake. LOL! Patti-Bensalem, PA

@emkn1479 Месяц назад

We get mystery irises too! I have no idea how that works either 🤷‍♀️ yours is gorgeous 🤩 PS Allium christophii I think. My favorite! They sparkle!

@snu3877 Месяц назад

Yes! I was going to tell her the name of the allium as well.

@JAYNEmM1962 Месяц назад

Happy spring flowers.

@susanschellberg4509 Месяц назад

Oh, do I empathize. I've been battling cordata for several years but finally feel like I'm getting ahead of it. I pretty much used the same approach you did but know it will never be completely erradicated. I've also been trying to grow columbine for years. I love them but they never return so I end up putting new ones in every year. I have the same variety you have. Your garden is gorgeous.

@gardenvistas Месяц назад

Thank you so much for the garden tour!

@ashlatona Месяц назад

I wish I could just copy and paste your garden into my yard-- fixtures, statues and all included 😊 Love your garden. I need to step up my spring blooming plants game! Also, I live in zone 6 in western NY, and I can't get my bloomerang lilac to bloomerang twice either lol

Your garden is so interesting and inviting. You have such a good eye and your placement of plant specimen is spot on..I love this garden space.

@anavelasque604 Месяц назад

@bonniejackson7476 Месяц назад

I think Erin Impatient Gardener said she cuts her allium foliage back. I’ve not grown allium but I think this coming year will be the year.

@chickadeecorner Месяц назад

There was a lot of head nodding from me during this one, yep, yep, me too, yep. I had to laugh at the end about the geraniums...I too planted from seed, and even though you gave a reminder, I forgot to pot mine up so they are still in the seed tray and I laughed because mine are the same size as yours. Just not our year for seed grown geraniums I guess 🤣 Oh and wanted to ask what the trees were along the fence by the lonicera, I tried standing close to my tv but couldn't tell 😁 It's also made me happy to hear about the use of natives in a garden, it helps break the misconception that natives are messy or can't fit in. The garden center I work at carries a lot of natives as the owners also have a wholesale native plug business... they were some of the folks 40 years ago who helped pioneer the native movement from a retail/consumer perspective.

@karinhamann5019 Месяц назад

Laura, you have given me inspiration to tackle my problem garden bed that is being overrun by wild violet (also spreads by runners),. I garden in zone 7b in Maryland. We have well water so I refuse to use anything but organic products. A couple of years ago I spread the area with cardboard and covered it with a thick layer of wood chips, but that didn't work. They still popped up! I wanted to cry too! You have given me the fortitude to get down on my hands and knees and just dig them out. Now that I am retired, I can keep up with weeding the area as needed. Thanks!

@aloras405 Месяц назад

I understand the frustration about the invasive growth habit plants. I’m fighting Virginia creeper in my blackberries. I’m allergic to it and it drives me crazy because it comes over from my neighbors yard because he lets it go crazy.

@alice_rabbit8345 Месяц назад

I mistakenly planted chameleon plant once. It made me cry too! Took me years to get rid of it.

@HowsItGrowing Месяц назад

Ohhh. Yes it’s so horrible. Totally irresponsible that nurseries continue to sell it. 😭

@RogerC12 Месяц назад

30:35 Maybe they hybridized with one in someone else’s garden a long time ago? That would be super cool.

@29:55 Duchess of Edinburgh clematis! Just received mines yesterday from Tulip World and I have to admit it arrived in an obscene state, but it watered and resting, and I will give it time to recover from the journey before I plant it. Great to see it displayed in your garden. It looks divine.

@susankahn7219 Месяц назад

You can dig a trench and buy bamboo barrier to put into the trench to keep invasive rhizomes from invading under the fence. I did that for bamboo to keep out of my garden area.

@barbaracole4314 Месяц назад

Maybe I will cuz I kinda gave up on veggie gardening, no success with that so now I just stick with flowers , annuals , trees, shrubs but mostly perennials, I'm very successful at that.

@kdeleon401 Месяц назад

I have the section of my yard that is very Sandy where we live and hard to keep grass growing.I actually need an invasive ground cover, lol 😅

@HowsItGrowing Месяц назад

You don’t want this. Trust me. It stinks and if left to grow, it will get waist high. 😭 try planting some dutch white clover or creeping thyme. 💜

@HowsItGrowing Месяц назад

Thank you! Those are Natchez white crape myrtles. They will get pretty massive 20-30 feet tall and create a nice screen of privacy above the fence in time. They are only 2 years planted here.

@lisamichaelalpert6228 Месяц назад

looks lovely!!!!! may I ask about the trellising on the fence?? so cool!

@denisemcnaught7784 Месяц назад

beautiful. what do you recommend for first time topiary plant? I would love to give it a try. ty

@HowsItGrowing Месяц назад

Hi!! I would recommend a boxwood. They are very hardy and forgiving. If you get a small one at the nursery they are pretty affordable and you can practice trimming.

@myriamfieulleteau7706 Месяц назад

your garden looks beautiful. Where did you get the hexagonal trellis

@HowsItGrowing Месяц назад

Thank you! I got them from Home Depot a few years ago. They still have them, but they are about a third the size now. I called the company and they said they reduced the size to save shipping costs. Sigh.

@bigl9478 Месяц назад

15:20 those are definitely not canterbury bells… they’re heucheras (coral bells)

@HowsItGrowing Месяц назад

Yes of course. I misspoke since I had just talked about my Canterbury bells shortly before that segment. Just a minor brain blip. 😁

@thisnthat2449 Месяц назад

If you don’t mind, what baskets do you use for your outdoor plants? They are charming, I’d love to know.

@HowsItGrowing Месяц назад

Don’t mind at all. They are all faux wicker. A stretchy pvc plastic material. I grab one any time I see them. They are mostly from lowes and Home Depot over the years and typically I’ll spot them in the house plant or patio decor section. Sometimes even in home furnishing sections for storage or organization.
