Cathy's Eclectic Garden
United States
Приєднався 6 тра 2021
Hi! I am Cathy and I live in NW Ohio, Zone 6a. I like to grow perennials and vegetables, but my passion is native plants. My urban gardens are over 90% native. They are spread along the north edge of our property line and most of our backyard totaling over 3,500 SF. Vegetables are planted in raised beds, Greenstalk Vertical Planters and large pots. Hopefully all who view my content will be inspired to plant more natives and grow their own food.

I always enjoy your videos and click as soon as you load one !
I appreciate that! Thanks so much.❤
Cathy it has been a strange fall. I also had a major wheeler honeysuckle it never did anything. Well it grew a little but not like it should have. It is gone now. I use cardboard too it is great. Just weigh it down so it doesn't blow away with the winter weather. I enjoy seeing what other people are doing I their gardens. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for commenting!
Looking forward to seeing you make this new space. Love that bee balm.
Thanks
I love that you created a brush pile with that dead tree area. Great for the wildlife! Can't wait to see this area as you build it further.
Thanks! I appreciate your support.
Probably you have blooms because the weather is so crazy your plants think it is still summer. We haven't had any good rain in quite a while. I will say it has been warm.
I enjoyed it, Cathy. I still have blooms in Kentucky too. Been busy mulching the beds with shredded leaves.
Same here. Thanks for commenting.
Great Vedio Thank You
When should I start growing this plant ? Summer?
We planted a Blue Fortune Agastache plant this spring on our front raised bed. How best should we winterize and protect it in zone 5? Thanks for all your information.
Ok then where do you leave these jugs ? Outdoors ? Do you water them? Do you mulch around them? Il in south Missouri zone 7
I guess I planted mine in the wrong spot too 🤦🏽♀️ I had no idea it would get so huge, but it is absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to see mine look like yours!
Ceanothus represent! I have three different species native to the West Coast (bc I'm in Oregon) and I love all of them, they are great plants. I had heard the blossoms could be lathered up like soap! One of mine is Ceanothus velutinus, Snowbrush or also called mountain balm and its leaves are aromatic and make kind of a soothing tea if you have a cold.
I’m in zone 6A as well and want to overwinter my Vermillionaire. Have you tried this and how would you do it?
yes, your garden name is great!
everyone tends to want early blooms, understandably, but even experienced gardeners often overlook late season flowers... the asters & goldenrod asteraceae cousins get tarnished for being so hardy / resilient, get called a weed, but they are such beautiful flowers + important for pollinators. Best from Zone 6 Cathy, enjoy your "offseason"
Thanks for commenting. I have many plants in my garden that some would pull as weeds.
We have many wild asters in our rural area, Cathy. I have the mild mannered Stokes Aster in my beds.
Thanks for the comment. I have some short bushy blue asters that were just labeled 'asters'. Also have several ew England Asters that didn't do well this year.
Looks so interesting!
It is! Thanks for commenting.
GOD's Creation! Much love to you!
Thanks for commenting.
It’s a banner year for this in my yard in nj ! Bees LOVE it
Seems to be the same here in NW Ohio! Thanks for commenting!
I have what i think is bee balm its the first year and o blooms but the leaves don't have the smell. but it looks like the ones here.
Hopefully it will bloom next year. Thanks for the comment.
Showy goldenrod is so amazing!
Yes it is. Thanks for commenting.
Thank you for the video. Some goldenrod came up in my garden last year. It must have been the canada goldenrod. I pulled it up. I was afraid it would spread all over.
Thanks for the comment. There is an app called "Picture This" that will identify plants. I use it a lot.
I love goldenrod, our state flower.
Thanks for commenting. 😊
Really loved your video. What would you say is your favorite goldenrod? Mine is stiff goldenrod because of the velvety leaves
I like the Showy. It doesn't get quite as tall and I like the shape of the flowers. Thanks for commenting.😊
5:14 I can tell just from the number of bees that this is showy golden rod. It must produce so much nectar!
Thanks for commenting I didn't know there were so many different bees!😊
So many bees!
It's astounding! 🐝
Yes indeed!😊
Why wouldn’t someone want a mantis?? They’re so good for pest control! I was so excited to see some in mine this year and even more excited to discover an egg case
Yeah, they get a bad rap. I had one living in a small Nine Bark by my front porch all summer. Thanks for commenting.
Love water features
Thanks!
Very nice!
Thanks!
I love water in the garden too. I put down a big pan since it has been so dry in hopes an animal can get a drink. I have a bird bath too. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for commenting. I also have several bird baths and a small pond.
When can I pull the pod off to obtain seeds? How do you store the seeds?
Pull pods when they are light brown and dry on the vine. I keep mine in a small paper envelope in a cool dry spot. Thanks for the comment
When can I pull the pod off to obtain seeds? How do you store the seeds?
I leave the pods on the vine until they start to dry out and turn brown. Pull the dried pods. Split them open and remove the beans/seeds. I usually spread them onto a paper towel on a paper plate for a couple of weeks to let them dry good. Just store them in a small envelope or jar with a tight fitting lid. Thanks for the comment.
Isn't that hollyhock?
@@yolandazach Nope it is Tall Mallow. I planted it from seed a couple of years ago.
Love this plant/tree! Do you think it would be possible to split one of these when planting, to get two trees?
I don't have an answer for your question. Sorry. Your county extension office may be able to help. Thanks for commenting.
Cathy, I found you by searching button bush and have been binge watching this evening. I love your videos and your garden looks amazing. Do you do garden tours on here? I may not have found it yet if you do. I love how you showcase plants, and would also love to see how your garden is laid out. I’ll go see if you have a garden tour video.
Thank you for your kind comments. We don't do many garden tours. We live on a 62x120 foot lot and what isn't covered in buildings is covered in gardens. Our neighbor politely asked us to not show their property in our videos and we try to respect their privacy. Hope you found the few garden tours I have done. Also, I did a video on the garden plan program I use that includes a copy of my Garden layout. It has changed some but I will try to remember and put up a current copy.
Nice tips on scarification, I will have to try that. Something interesting i learned about stratification. I saved cherry seeds and kept them in the fridge over winter, planted then outside in the spring in a marked area. Nothing sprouted. However, after being buried for a full winter outside, many sprouted the following spring. Maybe some seeds need a freeze to fulfill the stratification requirement?
That's a strong possibility. I know False Indigo seeds can sometimes take 2 or 3 years to sprout. Thanks for commenting.
My goldenrods are juat seedlings. First time growing them.
Give them a couple of years. They will surprise you!! Thanks for commenting.
Love to see it. My gray goldenrod attracts swarms of the tiniest micro-bees. They’re fascinating. I should get a few more varieties of goldenrod.
I am always amazed at the number of tiny bees in my garden! Thanks for commenting.
So many bees!
They are EVERYWHERE
My GT has become quite huge over the past 4-5 years. 😳 I think I’ll have to divide it in two in spring 2025, same for those New-England aster patches! I swear I deadheaded everything in late fall to keep its seeds from forming and two of them appeared last spring! I wish I had more gardening real estate!
My GT did well this year. I had Sea Holly next to it and they played well together :) I wish my New England Asters would spread some. They keep dying on me every couple of years. Look great the first year and by the third year they are gone. I keep replanting in different areas thinking they just don't like where they have been planted. I had one that I planted last year that came back and was looking good until the Goldenrod flopped over on top of it and I didn't notice it until it was too late. Hopefully it will come back next year.
Cathy thanks for the video. I take pictures so i can see the difference from year to year. I love your water feature. Please do a video on that . I sure wish we could get some rain.
Thanks for commenting. Yes, I will do a video on my Fountain. We could use some rain here also.
Cathy would you sell seeds from the flowers in your collection? I'm trying to get as many flowers as possible to keep the hummingbirds happy. The hot lips salvia and Jacob's minarda been looking for
Thanks for commenting. I don't have seeds for the Hot Lips Salvia. It is an annual for me and I usually get plants from a local nursery. They haven't had it for a couple of years. I can try to get some seeds from my Jacob Cline Monarda and send to you. Email me your address and I will try to get you some...no charge. My email is cathyseclecticgarden@gmail.com
I just found your utubes, Thank you!!!! 😄
THANKS!
😊 I forgot to ask, what do you use to spray for mildew, please??
3 Tbsp Baking Soda and 1 Tbsp Dawn dish soap in 1 gallon of water.
Heath aster and frost aster are two different asters. Heath asters only get 2 feet tall. Frost aster is very valuable to biodiversity. No native flower is invasive, and certainly not a weed.
Thanks for commenting and providing this information.
Thank you for this video- I'm in NW Ohio too and have Awful Powdery Mildew every year. Will any of the remedies here hurt the native bugs?
Not that I know of
Very interesting video
Glad you liked it
Sounds like my jerusalem artichokes 😂
@Lady-yo6xh 😂 Thanks for commenting.
Oh dear, I know I have started these. My soil is dry in the summer so maybe it will be ok. I didn't know they would be so aggressive. Thanks for the video.
@sannaericditsler4034 If the are in a dry area, you shouldn't have a big problem. It will help if you cut them back before they go to seed. I usually leave about 18" of stem for hibernating insects. Thanks for your comment.
I have always felt that there is a place in gardening for nuclear weapons!
@@SMElder-iy6fl 🤣 Love your comment!! Thanks
