@@SalimaHummatova hello! Thanks for popping by and saying hi! Welcome and happy gardening! 💚

Hello! Thanks for popping by my little channel! 💚

Greetings to you as well and thank you for visiting my channel from across the globe! I appreciate it! 💚

Lol precisely!

@@claudiagiselle I'm so glad it worked out so well for you! I love spotted bee balm and am trying to find the best spot in my garden for it too!

Thanks so much for watching! I'm so glad it was helpful to you! 💚

@@MeCom32 I love swamp milkweed! Not only is it a host plant for the monarchs, but it supports so many pollinators, and smells as sweet as candy! 💚 This is definitely on my favourites list!!

I know! I think mine are just taking a bit of time to find the right spot. I don't baby my new plants as much as I probably should. I also think that the shock of replanting after living in a bucket for years was too much for my one plant. I got smaller plants from @ontarionativeplants8411 (rather than a larger shrub I got from another nursery) and those are the ones that are happiest right now (the one in the wetter spot especially). I hope you have better success than me!!

@@PlantRelated I find it quite interesting how some plants hold their seeds like a little package and others release them without a chance to catch them (or for a critter to eat them up). These release them in such a beautiful way! I'm glad it was helpful to you! Thank you for watching and for the kind compliments! 💚

@@PlantRelated a great list! Many of which I need to add to my collection! Thank you for playing 💚

Oh, I will have to add this to my list! I have zigzag goldenrod and Canada goldenrod (I let a few volunteers grow each year), but not this one yet - I will have to add it to my collection! Thanks! 💚

@@kevanmarshall5795 love that plant! Great suggestion! And thanks for your support 💚 Happy 2025 to you too! 🎉

@@vhu395tgo lol it's my best angle haha

@@thegardenfix lol I better step up my game!!

@@squirrelsarepeopletoo6678 happy new year to you too! I can't wait! Hope you have some good planty resolutions!

Eek - garlic mustard actually makes the ground inhospitable to other plants - you may want to choose another plant to grow as a filler - or maybe some annuals. I also put pots of flowers around sometimes to fill in gaps as other plants grow or I move things around. Here's a clip for info - I put a ton of info in the description too ua-cam.com/video/HLYbhw-AbME/v-deo.htmlsi=JjHetnvK-ZIbuVq6

Cool, thanks! 💚 I did leave this one, so maybe next year we'll get some flowers!

I'm so glad my videos are helpful for you - that's exactly my intention: to see how each plant grows over the whole season to help plan, prepare, and identify each plant as they grow and develop. I'm so glad that's how you're using them, and so glad to hear you're expanding your native plant garden! I'm still learning as I go, but I'm hooked now! I have some great books to recommend if you're interested too - I've got a highlight in Instagram called "Good Reads" if you'd like some recommendations. Happy planning and happy gardening - and happy holidays too! 💚

Thanks! That's good to know - that's definitely been the case with this wee tree. I hope it does a bit better this year through the winter. It's clearly holding on, but it's definitely gone through some serious stress 🤞🏼

I hadn't until I found it at the RARE plant sale this year (@raresites) - I hope to see it spread out - I didn't get to catch it in flower this year, but the tiered seed heads look cool!

Interesting! Isn't it funny how the same plant can grow so differently in different conditions?! I have great blue lobelia in three different spots and it's like three different plants!! Obedient plant is one of my favs! 💚

Isn't it funny how one plant can take on different variations?!

@@PlantRelated aww, thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy them! I'm trying to be helpful and to help people see all the benefits of native plants and how they can definitely work in home gardens. I feel that some people think they are just messy and out of control, but there are so many that are well behaved, beautiful and have so many other benefits too (including great smell!). So glad that I'm preaching to the choir with you! I look forward to learning from you as well! 💚

@@PlantRelated ps. This is the video I'm most proud of, if you'd like to give it a watch 💚 I made it as part of my pollinator stewardship certification from pollinator partnership Canada - I'd love to hear your thoughts 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/Gj5EGji4HH0/v-deo.htmlsi=qNLFHk3Po7uirElY

@@PlantRelated thank you! They definitely have many benefits - including attracting fireflies! And it's SO easy - just plop it down and go! Lol I also find that it helps to build dimension and interest in the garden design (I hide spring bulbs behind them so they hide their foliage as they fade, etc). Thank you for the compliments for my garden - it's a work in progress! 💚

Thanks so much! That spot is my attempt at a "pollinator pile" where I do exactly that - throw spent stems in hopes that pollinators will make a home in them as they break down over time. I'm hoping the plants in front will hide them over time, but happy to hear that it looks purposeful! I've added a bunch of larger logs to add to the biodiversity too - and I think it looks nice! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comment! 💚

Agreed! 💚 I was so happy to find them!

@@thatclothgirl 💚🎶🐛 he's the cutest little thing!

@@thatclothgirl what would you like to know? 😊

@@thatclothgirl that's wonderful! The more native plants out there, the better! I have a little lending library too - I will totally do that too! Thanks for the inspiration! Thank you for watching and for the comment! 💚

Too funny! I will have to look that up! 💚

I'm so glad! I had a feeling, but wasn't sure - thank you for confirming!

@@thegardenfix part of me wishes for the same, the other part is very excited for some snow ☃️☃️☃️

@TheSuburbanGardenista yeah, I hear you. But, come mid january, that pretty snow gets a little old. 😄

Fair enough! 🥶

@@kevanmarshall5795 thanks! It's my incredible husband who sets it all up! 💚

You can thank mother nature for that - or the squirrels! I entirely agree though - I've snipped down the golden rod (rather than hauling out the whole plant) in hopes that it comes back alongside the great blue lobelia again next year! Thanks for watching and for the comment! 💚

@@thegardenfix Hallelujah!! It's a bully of a beast!

Interesting - I will have to look into this. I'm trying to stay chemical free - especially by the water source, but I will do some research and learn more. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my little video and for the suggestion too! 💚

@ understood but without some chems people will get frustrated with regrowth. And this is highly targeted use. U r literally just painted in the stump with a brush. Not a foliage spray. And it affects nothing around the tree or bush. Google it and u can see different ways people do it. Best of luck

This is super helpful and encouraging! I hope I can contain my buckthorn battle, and that yours is over and done with too! Thank you for the tips and for the suggestion on a new tool - adding that to my Christmas wishlist now!! It's always helpful to know what works best for folks - especially when I've pretty much inherited most of my tools from others! Thanks again! 💚
