Some Space To Grow
United States
Приєднався 14 бер 2024
Hi there! My name is Nick and I garden in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains in Zone 5B. I have been growing things my entire life in tiny apartments all around the United States, but three years ago my fiancé and I purchased a 1947 cottage on a corner lot where I finally felt like I had some space to grow. Join me as I turn my little cottage into something truly beautiful. Whether it's a new must have plant, tips on how to grow flowers and vegetables better, or steps on preserving your harvest I hope you learn something new along the way and are encouraged to find some space to grow no matter how big or small.
Planting Clearance Bare Root Shade Perennials in Terracotta Pots (Hosta, Toad Lilies, and Brunnera)
Today I'm planting clearance bare root shade perennials in terracotta pots. I have always loved the look of terracotta containers especially as they age. I have hosta, toad lilies, and brunnera. I've never planted toad lilies before so this is new to me. I really want to grow these shade perennials underneath my covered back porch in an area that we normally junk up. I got everything from Tulip World and Holland Bulb Farms on clearance. I always place a clearance plant order every summer because the prices just get too good lol. Hope this encourages you to add some shade perennials to your garden and to not be afraid of purchasing clearance bare roots.

Can you believe it's time to start seeds again?! Today I'm starting pansy, viola, kale, and cabbage seeds for fall containers. I can't believe we are at this point. I feel like I just got done starting all the summer seeds and now it's time for fall. This season is passing by so fast, but I hope this encourages all of you to start some seeds for your fall containers to save money in your garden...
I Found a Stone Patio Under My Lawn!
Переглядів 7249 годин тому
Well I found a stone patio under my lawn. In a previous video while trying to plant some Irish moss I noticed that every time I dug a hole there was stone at the bottom. I knew there was a pathway here but never realized it was a whole hidden stone patio. It's not in the best condition but I'm sure we can recover it. I think this patio will be so nice as it'll give another space to sit and rest...

I wanted to share with you how I fertilize my vegetable garden. Truly I just find the cheapest granular organic fertilizer I can find for the purpose I'm using it for and follow the instructions.

I also find granular fertilizers to just be easiest when it c...

Today I'm making a recycled discreet trellis for the front of my house and planting a Jackmanii Clematis on it.

Nice to see such enthusiasm. Don't mean to be negative but from one gardener to another...cardboard no dig can be a great way to go...landscape material ends up being a nightmare most of the time 😢. Hope you are the exception to the rule tho.❤❤❤
I appreciate the advice Sandi. I try to use landscape fabric only in areas where I know I will never plant (like under this hedge). Cardboard would not have been enough for this particular situation as it’d break down in a season or two and I’d have to be hand pulling weeds as I wouldn’t be able to spray near trees.
Good thing you found the spade. Definitely the best tool for the job.
So you are in N Co. I live on Western slope. I know we have 2 different planting soils, but just found you and going to be a new . Can’t wait to get caught up on previous videos tfs cheers
Yes I am! Thank you so much! So glad to have fellow Coloradans here 🤗
You are telling us you have never seen non green leaved plants thriving. Lol. Comeon man.
All pink leaves on pink princess do not thirve, they die pretty quickly as they don't have chlorophyll. Just google it....
Lift the low ones up and put stone and sand pack it down good looks great😊
Thank you that is definitely the plan! 💚🙏🏽
Love, love, love! You are inspiring me to try and grow my own garden, thank you!
Thank you! Glad you’re getting inspired 😁💚
Simply beautiful. You're the flower whisperer. You have a cat, too?
Yup her name is daisy! Thanks Mary! She’s my oldest pet 11 old. I have/had 3 mini schnauzers maxwell 10 years old who died of complications of diabeties this past weekend (he was my sweet boy still hard to even type it) Oliver is 9 years old and is white and Ella is the black and white schnauzer she’s 2.
So much to learn from you. Thank you. Kisses for your dog 💋
Thank you so much Mary! And Ella loves all the kisses 🐶
Love your garden ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate it a lot!
Its flagstone 🤗
I'm too excited! :)
😂 Thank you for the garage can struggle portion of the video.
It was a true struggle! Can't wait for my fiancé to get back to move it to the street lol!
I’m jealous. 😂❤
Can I used it on my peppers when they start flowering
Yep! Same exact way, apply every three weeks. Can also be used on berries, indoor plants that bloom, veggies, flowering bulbs and roses, as well as any other outdoor blooming plant.
Nice, and now you have a free space to enjoy. Love it. 🌷🌹🙀🌺🌸
Thank you 💚🙏🏽
Hey from Kentucky! I love, love it! So glad you found it! I'll be waiting for more.
Thank you! I'll definitely update you all as we refurbish it and hopefully bring it back to its once glory!
How exciting! What a great find!
Thank you!
Nice plants! Give and it shall be given, pressed down, shaken together, running over..
Beautiful fountain 👍🏽
Thank you!
Looks beautiful!
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Your plants are beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
I am curious on how long the sealer will hold up. Gorgeous fountain.
Thank you! Honestly it’s my first year using it so I’m not sure but I’ll definitely do an update video next year when I open the fountain for the season cause I’m curious too. I’ll probably be applying the sealer every year to try to keep this fountain running for as long as possible!
Thank you for all the tips, especially on the products! I’ve been looking for a safe sealer for my concrete bird bath that absorbs the water. I can’t wait to try it! And yours turned out beautiful!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽 glad you found it helpful!
Could you do a video focused on your process for creating the greenhouse cabinets? BTW, love the video! Plus, you are too cute!
Thank you so much! Absolutely! I’m so glad someone’s interested 😅 those greenhouse cabinets were a bit of work getting together and took days of frustration 🤣 but so worth it and have had 0 problems with them since. Honestly I think it’s why a lot of my plants are alive because during the growing season ignore my houseplants a lot but the extra humidity keeps them happy.
@@SomeSpaceToGrow Like minds! In my case, I want to get a wall-mounted cabinet to make a greenhouse for an anthurium and possibly a begonia. I also want to be able to put plants in their that need a little extra TLC that I am in serious danger of killing. I have not seen anyone on UA-cam do a wall-mounted greenhouse project, though. Have you seen that anywhere?
I haven't but truly that sounds really neat! My cabinets take up so much floor space and I bet tons of people would want one that is wall mountable.
Welcome to CO and it's wind that makes having nice things like greenhouses and gazebos very hard! I'm in Fort Collins. Just wanted to give you a heads up, that grapes will Take. Over. Something no one really talks about. Maybe it's because we don't actively prune them as they're growing, but we literally have a Jumanji situation where the branches/shoots are trying to enter our front door. I cut them about 1x a week. We cut them down to hardly anything in fall, and by the end of summer, there is a wall of greenery that takes half a day to chop back and bring to the brush pile. When the frost hits, the leaves die and they look like a haunted house landscape til the leaves fall off which takes a month or two. Maybe you know all this all but if not, start reading up on how to prune them as they grow, it's a whole thing which my brain absolutely cannot deal with. Although ours are wine grapes, we've never had clumps that ripen all at once. They ripen, but only a few at a time on each clump, so you have to sort of pick them like blueberries, finding which ones are soft. Just don't want you to get your hopes up like we did when planting ours. Our friends have table grapes and the bees and hornets are a permanent fixture on them when they're ripe fyi.The fruit isn't big like it is in stores also, but they are very sweet.
😩 noooo don’t crush my grape dreams lol jk. Honestly thank you for preparing me! Maybe I’ll plant a clematis there too on the inside of the arch just in case that grape has to go 😅🤣
How inspiring! 🤩 Your shipping method is simple yet professional!
Thank you!
❤ this! Can we please have another house tour? 🥹 I very much enjoyed the first one. I’m planning on planting a bunch of tulips in honor of my Nan this fall. I’m in zone 8b, so I hope they do well like yours!🤞🏽 ps I too got caught buying two rose bushes on clearance today ($10 each, couldn’t refuse!😅) AND a clearance order from holland bulb farms! Let us know how your order turns out when you plant! 🫶🏽
Thank you so much! Omg those tulips will be so exciting I hope they do well for you too 🤞🏽 I’ll be doing a full garden tour by the end of the month (I’m pulling weeds and mulching this week to make it pretty for y’all 😅). I’ll definitely show you my order when I plant them out.
this is so cute. i can’t wait tell i have so many plants i can start propagating 😭
Thank you! It happens quick 🤣 once you get into plants they just start coming home with you or at least that’s how it went for me 😅
Very nice garden!
Thank you so much!
Don't forget to share an update as to its progress to mature vine. Good job.
Thank you will do!
That’s a great idea!!
Thank you!
I have that exact plant and I have it on my front downspout also. Have had it there for 25 years. You will need wire to the ground for sure so the plant can find it or it will grow on the ground or latch onto other bushes by it. I think you will need another piece on the top also. lol. It is a beauty! Enjoy it!
Great minds think alike! Thank you for the tip! 🙏🏽
get some morning glories growing too
Honestly that’s a great idea since it’ll take a bit of time for the clematis to establish. Definitely going to do that! Thanks
That is going to be pretty. Love your fountain.
Thank you so much 💚☺️
That was a great deal and they are going to be so pretty.
What a great idea! Nice job. Good little project.
Thank you so much ☺️
They look very healthy and what type of soil do you have. Happy gardening.
Thank you! 💚🙏🏽 I’d say we have clay loam with lots of rocks in it. It’s not very well draining and is very hard to dig in when it’s dry but I’ve noticed so long as I have drip irrigation on most things and plant high, not many things have minded it.
Great job! Inspiring!
Thanks so much!
Looking really good.
Thank you so much! 💚 🙏🏽
damn imagine if you had plants with black leaves in that black soil. damn. that would be dope.
Beautiful!! 😍😍
Thank you so much 🙏🏽
Good luck with your channel. beautiful job
🥹 omg thank you so much that means a lot! My very first comment ❤️
@@SomeSpaceToGrow You are certainly welcome. I love tulips, unfortunately I have a big deer problem so I don't plant into the landscape. The last two years I have planted them in large terracotta pots and have enjoyed them that way.
