Welcome to Horticulture Geek. I love gardening, horticulture, homesteading, & nature. I grew up on a family farm/homestead in South Carolina. I have a Horticulture degree from Clemson University but outside of my personal garden I do not use it professionally. Gardening, can be an expensive hobby, so I shop around, look for bargains, check out the clearance racks, and do a lot of DIY to make my garden shine.
My Family and I live in Central Arkansas (Zone 7 B) in a regular suburban neighborhood. While I do not currently have the land or space to homestead or garden on a large scale, I do have a thriving potager garden. We do hope to one day buy a larger property to set up a proper homestead and raise more produce and get into Animals but until that comes please join me as I visit other gardens, Horticulture areas, and document my own garden throughout the year. Hopefully it will inspire others to get out, get their hands dirty, grow something, and go appreciate nature!

What a cool idea! Looks so good.
Thanks so much!
What a great idea! And the fall display with the bench is lovely. Definitely gives me some ideas! Good to see you back on UA-cam. Kind regards to you and Mrs. “Geek”. :0)
Thanks so much! 😊
Love the fall display! So pretty and fun!
thank you so much! for the detailed instructions and ideas ( orchid pot, feed bucket brilliant. ) Canada needs an Ollies, lol
Burning bush is invasive here, still trying to get rid of it all
Very nice, but why play old time country music from the Tennessee/Kentucky region when this is a Japanese garden? 🥺
Because that was the best option I could find on the copyright free soundtracks. 😂🤣
Thank you! What is it about Japanese gardens that make them so peaceful and tranquil. PS maybe use Japanese music next time. LOL
Thanks for sharing. Will definitely need to visit. You were in my neck of the woods. I’m in Galveston Texas.
How fun, I love Galveston.
Thank you for the beautiful tour, Ray. It looks very relaxing. :0)
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you , thank you, thank you. I reached the same conclusion, but I was not confident . I hope it works on bamboo roots
Hey Ray, hope all is well with you and your family. Miss your videos! Hope you will be back soon! 😊
Yes we are fine, thanks for asking. I hope to have a video out this week. I planned to film one this weekend and it rained all weekend long.
How charming! very entertaining and lots of great detail.🤩
Second comment…. Are you and your family okay? Your videos are missed. No pressure. Just hoping all is well. Kind regards.
Yes we are thank you. It has been so hot here and I had other things going on and I just got behind in the garden. I’m hoping to have a new video next week.
@@HorticultureGeek Totally understand. We’ve got dry, hot & windy in WY. You’ve got the humidity. Hope the pool helps. Kind regards.
Great Job, A+
Garden is looking great! Love the outdoor living room and patio lights!
I love your garden, beautiful, how do you, over winter your plants, like Fren? I live in GA,
Thank you! I bring all my tender plants into my potting shed over the winter with heat.
Great Job, it's just beautiful.
How do you over winter it
Yes it stays out in the yard in its container at all times. This particular variety can handle my winter temps. If we ever get an abnormally cold spell I throw a sheet or blanket over it.
Can it be grown in a big pot?
Depending on your growing zone yes. The general rule of thumb is that a plant needs 2 zones of tolerance to survive in a container over winter. So this clematis is rated for zones 4 to 9 for in ground planting which means you need to be in a zone 6 or higher to safely leave outside in a container. Hope that helps.
@@HorticultureGeek Thanks! I'm zone 8 so it should be okay. I hadn't known that advice about containers, but it's very helpful, not only for this clematis but for other plants I'm thinking of growing.
Beautiful project Sir! Beautiful backyard! Thank you! Great job!❤
Wow, Ray! Thank you for the wonderful tour of the beautiful gardens. You guys are so lucky down there. Kind regards. :0)
Nice job. Thanks for the ideas.
Wear gloves!
I shared this with my daughter today. She says she's gonna be your neighbor, but in the mountains.
I have planter that has an outside light pole in it. I managed to get the plant out of the container I am still left with some hard roots. Is there anything i can put on them to kill it so I can replant in the pot. It is extremely hard to get it out. I’d appreciate your input. Thank you
I use Stump and vine killer from Bonide. It’s available at most big box stores and works well. I also use a hand saw in these situations to cut the roots out of the container.
When you drill clay pots ,soak in water before drilling. This makes it easier and want break.
Thank you so much. Your son is the best!
You are so kind
Would a larger clay pot be better for stability? Just wondering.
The stability is really based on the shape of the pot and how much bottom surface it has. If the pot is too heavy adding water would be a challenge. But a larger pot that is a good stable pot would work well. The size of the fountain can be whatever fits your space. Hope this helps.
This was really cool!!
Ordered $20 worth of tea seeds (about 20 seeds) and not one seed germinated.
Sorry to hear that.
I didn’t know we could grow agave outside here.
They had several species around the property and they were beautiful.
This is exactly the video tutorial I have been needing!! Thank you so much for uploading, loved all the info and it wasn't too long! Gonna order my liners today 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
Great job, and a beautiful garden!
Thank you
I recommend getting a solar pump
You can prune and grow tea on a slant also. Think the side of a slope versus a tabletop. This will increase your yields by about 25%
Great tip. Thanks!
I loved this video
I love this plant . Am looking to cover a dead tree . I think it would be beautiful. I did this once in CA and it looked amazing. I am now however in Tx where the plants have to be Tx tough. Hoping this plant is tough enough to survive in San Antonio.
I've planted Supertunia's forever. Bubblegum is by far the most prolific bloomer. I usually plant my Bubblegum with Jazzberry and together they make a beautfiul arrangement. The new Saffron Finch also blooms constantly. I tried the new Hoopla this year and though it started off a bit slow, after a couple of weeks it just took off. One thing about Supertunia's is that they require quite a bit of water. No, you don't want to drown them and get root rot, but if you let them dry out where the foliage starts curling, sometimes you won't be able to bring them back to life. As strong as they appear to be, they don't like dry soil at all. Just something to be aware of.
Thank you for your tutorial. You back yard is amazing. I see lots of sweat equity. It is gorgouse. Thanks again
Hello ❤❤🎉🎉
I knew it! You’re an “onion-holic”. ;0)
I'm curious what you feed all your plants, I didn't realize that you need to feed annuals every week?
I use a water soluble fertilizer. I’m not picky about a brand name but I most often use miracle grow just because it’s usually on sale. 😁
Second comment…the music you use is just right for you & your videos. It fits & it suits you. 🙂 Kind regards.
Beautiful back yard Thank you I will do one for my garden. It looks beautiful in between the flowers
I like that you are easy to follow and just a normal family. So cute of your son oh and your dog. Love your garden as well. What a beautiful fountain.
Thank you so much!
Save some to chit for next year. Maybe they’ll grow better.
Great idea about the food dish. That’s exactly what I need!
You’re garden is spectacular. I’m so glad your video popped up today. I’m taking a little break from yard work and saw this. I was just telling my husband I want a small fountain. This is perfect!
Thank you very much. I’m glad you found me. I hope you enjoy my other videos as well. This small fountain is perfect, I still love mine.
Pump is too small can’t even hear the water flow
It’s not that type of fountain. This type of fountain is more for the appearance of flowing water and a light trickle sound. To get a loud fountain you have to have a water drop. The pump is actually perfectly sized for this fountain and it could actually accommodate a fountain spray head if more sound was wanted. However a larger base would be needed to catch the excess water slash. Thanks for watching.
Great job. We’ll be making one soon ❤
