Plus we haven't got any rain in about 3 weeks, finally we got rain yesterday 100 chance today and tomorrow tul about 3 in the afternoon. I'm jut to dang lazy to clean out some of my flower beds to plant them. God please help get up and get outside before it starts rain again❤

    Your window boxes look great, love the combinations. When I plant up any kind of pots or hanging baskets I put some mulch around the plants. It keeps the soil from moving around and spilling out, also helps with moisture loss and makes for a better finished look. I just started watching your videos I like the fact that you like color and are not afraid to go for it girl!😁🌷👏

    I just bought that polka dot plant last week. I also bought the same Colius at the same time last week what a coincidence that's just crazy! I love them. I can't wait to get them into my garden. But right now they're all potted up because it's just still too cold in the evening. I'm in Indiana so I'm waiting patiently but it won't be long. Your window boxes are absolutely gorgeous!! ❤

    Thank you for the informative video this morning! It’s good to know the sun and shade rules that you went over. I’ve also had questions about how much sun exposure or shade is needed for my plants to survive our always changing climate in Colorado. We can’t even garden right now. We’re still in the 20’s for lows at night. Heat wave today! It’s going to be 62! Yay! I’m chomping at the bit to swing into full on gardening mode! 🤗🌷🌺🌸🌷💐🐞🪲🌻

What a beautiful garden you have. Thanks for your channel.

    gosh I am so glad you discussed this topic! It’s always been a little confusing to me because of certain flowerbeds around my home. For example, the bed in front of my home is west facing like yours, BUT I have an Oak tree in front of it that covers a lot of that afternoon sun.. So after charting the sun exposure, found out Im getting like 3 hours of afternoon sun 🥴. I’m trying to find more sun or shade/ sun to shade plants now. Your window boxes turned out beautiful! Loved this informational and fun video!

    Those are going to look great! I am doing a lot of my containers this year & I'm soooo super excited about it! They're going to be primarily purple & like green, with a touch of white. & then I'm going to try to plant a couple up in a very tropical design/colors. I like how Casey @ The Lawrence Family Garden Farm plants her containers & window boxes look! They're so beautiful & tropical looking!

  • @marliesethomas
    @marliesethomas Рік тому +2

    I recently charted the sun movement across my areas because I really couldn't tell! The most confusing is my north-facing front patio, which is generally full sun (despite stereotypes about north walls), but some spots are more dappled/part sun depending on how the angle of the sun throws tree shadows. I'm in 8a Alabama, so that afternoon sun can get pretty harsh! I am verrrrry cautiously trying out some Proven Winners macrophylla hydrangeas there.

    • @esli44
      @esli44 Рік тому +1

      @debravestal1875 Рік тому +1

      I’m in zone 8b Alabama and my side yard (that needs landscaping badly) faces north. I have a fence running west to east. And part of the day it’s in shade then afternoon full sun. I’m also going to plant macrophylla hydrangeas ( nikko blue) the only spot it’s really shaded is up against the house, I have planted some climbing roses against the fence and once they reach the top it will be full sun. I plan on putting the hydrangeas in front of them. 🤞hopefully it will work out. The home I just moved from the Nikkos faced the hot south sun all day ,they grew beautiful but they did wilt at the hottest part of the day.
