Came to the comments to mention the hummingbird at the end like so many others. I had to pause your video serveral times to add more plants to my wish list. It's so great to see how they perform in your garden. Thank you for taking the time to put the names on the screen.
I smile every time you say crick, then often restate as creek. I grew up in a very rural area and decided that the distinction is that a ‘crick’ has its banks stabilized with old rusted car bodies. Takes me right back. Yours is definitely a creek, however small.
The color on the ligularia is stunning! For a dry year, a lot is looking really satisfying. Hope you will continue the strolls as the year advances. So enjoy your style!
It's Barbie on my late husbands account, beautiful even through hardships. Hummingbird at the window box at the very end makes me want to rewind and see what it's feeding on. Thank you for taking the time to inspire us.
Erin, I believe this garden season was a hard one. I’m in Maryland and this summer was extremely hot. I do have some annuals who made it to fall and I got a few new ones who are doing great right now. I’m looking forward to next season and now I’m planting more perennials. Thanks for the tour ,you’re doing great job.
Loved the garden tour. Your tours can never be too long. I always learn a lot and wish I had more room and time to grow a garden as beautiful as yours.
Erin garden tours are never too long for me!! So many wonderful plants to enjoy and so much inspiration - I have such a long list of plant material for late fall planting if I can find it or for next spring for sure.
I enjoyed the tour. I’m also dealing with jumping worms, so I was really interested when you talked about deeper rooted plants doing better. I had noticed that some plants seemed to do better than others, but I didn’t know why. I guess that explains it. Thanks again for your information.
Thanks for taking the time to give us a garden tour. It is never too long. Always interesting to get your take on how things are growing for you. I always get plenty of ideas from you.
Thank you.....lately I have been finding myself going through impatient gardener withdrawal! I search every day for more ! LOL!! I know you can't do that, but I can' help myself.
So excited to see you got the red leaf hydrangea you talked about last year. I got one this spring because you introduced it. Thank you for your real life garden talks. I don't feel so bad about taking plants out. I either give them away or move them to another place. I live in an urban inner city area and have place un-wanted plants in paper bags with note on care on the corner for passer bys.
I've been having a lot less deer damage using 100% coyote urine on some green Terry cloth rags tied low on my hydrangeas this year. Also less bunny damage.
Loved the hummingbird at the end of your video! All your plants are looking very lush and beautiful! Love banana #2-it’s so huge! Your hydrangea are still white or pink and gorgeous while mine in 6a are brown and ugly! Michigan/Wisconsin are the perfect place to grow hydrangea. I think! Enjoy! Old man winter will be here before we know it!!!
Verbena 'Bampton' has perennialized for me (4a, sandy soil)! It is such a good plant! I have tried for YEARS to capture it on film. It just does not photograph well. Love the Heuchera 'Autumn Bride'-- it is such an underrated coral bells! It definitely makes a statement in the border and is growth-y unlike a lot of the newer cultivars. The Sedum 'Neon' and Queen Tut Papyrus IS a good textural contrast!
Thank you Erin for the tour...the shared garden hedge is looking really great. I love boxwoods in their natural shape✨ I love the layering look growth of the Haas Halo.
I have a question, probably unrelated to your current video. I remember you talking about how you have an insulated area you store all your bulbs and tropicals in. Did you use the rigid foam insulation in an area to protect from freezing temps? I need an area in my garage for cold hardy plants but in pots. Attached garage but not heated. Gets below freezing. Thanks for your help. I'm up in Appleton and enjoy all your videos.
Good memory! Yes, I use our well pump room which is in a corner of the basement, as a place to store dormant tropicals. We put in foam board insulation both to control light (I want them dark) and to keep that area cooler than the rest of the basement. In the coldest part of winter I open the doors (or one of them) to prevent it from freezing in there (which would be bad for both the plants and the well pump).
Your videos are never too long...always just perfect! I'm looking forward to seeing how you deal with your banana plants this fall. I have 4, much smaller, but I want to make sure I do the right thing for them!!
Beautiful. Watching this while trying to get motivated to go work in my yard which is probably 1/10th the size of what you have there. Bought a couple of those new smooth hydrangeas,Flowerfull, like those you planted recently. Bought via Amazon but shipped UPS from the nursery I think. No blooms but in very good condition. Thanks for the tour!
Orange Fields are lighter more reddish orangy color, I wish it would be possible to add a photo here. I have them planted with heleniums. Also Cornus mas berries are very healthy food, as all sour berries like cranberry etc. It is very popular for making jam in South Europe and Central Asia. I just bought a sweeter sort and can’t wait for some berries next year
Wow, so much information in a 40 minute video! Planning Spring 2025 already. Dreading the fall breakdown next month here in zone 4 though, ugh. Thanks for all your videos.
Hi Erin, I always look forward to your garden tours. We are suffering through a drought here in Indiana too. I spend a lot of time watering to keep the shrubs I planted this year alive but that is not why I am writing. The Soft Serves.... I think they will surprise you with the size. There is a house I pass whenever I go into town that has three staggered rows of three Soft Serve Cypress out near the road on each corner of their lot. I think their plan was to block the vehicle headlights at night from sweeping across the front of their house. They live on a sweeping curve of a fairly busy state road. Anyway, to get to the point, those trees are 15 to 18 feet tall and probably 8 to 10 feet wide. It also appears that the deer leave them completely alone, which is the real bonus.. It really is a stunning planting.
Dahlias! I thought it was just me. Such a warm summer this side of the pond, but half my dahlias are still not in bloom. I've been trying to decide wether to overwinter them or not, since they were such lazy beggars. But i guess I'll be giving it a go. And i shall amp up my fertilizer game next season.
Everything is looking gorgeous and the 11 foot banana tree, amazing had to send a picture of it to my daughter who has one amazing again thank you for sharing 👍❤️🙂
Yay! Love the strolls and tours! Was looking at your garden from like 3-4 years ago (which looks closer to my garden now), and your garden has really glowed up, and your pots are always my favorite! ❤
Hi Erin, your garden looks amazing. Such a creative eye for combining plants. I planted four aronias and they look like yours. Such a disappointing shrub. Also you are looking beautiful, I think you have lost weight. Super dry summer here in Virginia too.
Here in SE MI all the crabapples, hawthorns and serviceberry trees pretty much look like your service berry tree from the insane amount of rain we had through the spring and summer. Now of course since the last week of Aug we’ve had zero rain, clear skies, windy the ultimate combo to just dry everything out it’s so dry now
First of all your pots are at another level, it really shows this ain’t your first rodeo. Secondly that espalier is getting bigger, and the way you’ve put it against that chimney, the tree really stands out
Thanks so much for sharing your garden! I love the 'Wild Magic' basil and so many other things in your garden 😄 Where do you get the seed for 'Wild Magic' basil?
Beautiful! Everything looks great! Crossing fingers for some rain soon! Which greenhouse are you going to take your agave too? How does that process work?
Really enjoyed the tour around your garden, as usual! Lots of cool plants to try. Did you say in another video that tassel flower re-seeded for you? I planted some this year in a hot border and they are terrific. If anyone has had any luck with the lower-growing cultivars of aronia, I would like to hear. I have tried Ground Hug and others in various different conditions in my Zone 7 NY Hudson Valley garden and, frankly, they have struggled and look pretty pathetic unlike the fothergillas, clethras, diervillas and other native shrubs I have planted. Are they one of those plants that seems like a great idea but doesn't actually perform well in gardens???
Beautiful gardens,I just love the mangave they look just perfect with the othe flowers with them,also what are you feeding your banana tree,also do you feed your climbing hydrangeas
Dang your side of the house bed had very few Nicotiana but that is where they used to be so many! Me too, though, some biennials just go away when it's dry it seems
I'm torn on the banana leaves 😂. No, seriously, I like the tattered look toward the end of the season. That banana is regal and has earned it's scars. Plus, the leaves kinda remind me of fishtail palm leaves, my absolute favorite houseplant palm.

No garden tour of your beautiful garden is "too long". It's never long enough! 😁
Love the hummingbird behind you at the close!!!
Yes !!! how cute 🤩
Please do not be the least concerned about how long your videos are because I love every minute of them!
Impeccable timing little hummingbird right at the end 👍🏻☺️
@@emptynestgardens9057 Right on cue!
Banana tree looks great 😃
The trees you planted between you and your neighbors have grown so much! The hemlock is so pretty!
Love all of your dahlias ! And those bananas 😮

I really enjoyed the tour - it was especially sweet to see that little hummingbird fluttering around at the end!😂❤
I smile every time you say crick, then often restate as creek. I grew up in a very rural area and decided that the distinction is that a ‘crick’ has its banks stabilized with old rusted car bodies. Takes me right back. Yours is definitely a creek, however small.
Does this banana make me look small??? Wow! What a Beauty 💚🙌🌿
I love your banana plant It's HUGE. Thanks for the tour
Thank you for the tour! Your garden is just so peaceful and lovely. Loved the hummingbird!
Your garden tours are never too long. ❤
The color on the ligularia is stunning! For a dry year, a lot is looking really satisfying. Hope you will continue the strolls as the year advances. So enjoy your style!
I love the thick boarder it gives a nice privacy wall.
Very nice tour! It’s looking great despite our hot and dry summer.
I'm listening to music, got my coffee and sketching New England Asters that are blooming here in Cary, N.C. Forest Edge Garden.
Always fun seeing what’s going on. Thanks!
You have such skill in packing the beds, and I love all the foliage contrast ❤️
I like the look of the straight grass beneath the plecathrus and friends. Compliments the roundish leaves. Thanks for the tour 😊
I love the beauty of your garden. You filled my heart with inspiration! Thank you for this wonderful tour! You are so loved!
Never too long!!! Thanks for All the inspiration Erin - your garden it truly lovely and always interesting and inspiring ❤🙏🏻✨
Love that hummingbird behind you in the close.. great tour.
Hi 😊
Love the hummingbird behind you at the end. Well planned. 😆
Hi 😊
Love the humming bird over your left shoulder in your summary.
It's Barbie on my late husbands account, beautiful even through hardships. Hummingbird at the window box at the very end makes me want to rewind and see what it's feeding on. Thank you for taking the time to inspire us.
Thanks for the video! Love the wrap up at the end when you can see a hummingbird behind you at the peachy keen superbena. 👍🏻
Such beautiful gardens!! Thank you for taking us along.

Love the hummingbird in your outro

Your outro was so sweet with the hummingbird hovering near the window boxes. Great tour Erin, thanks for sharing!

Love the hummingbird keeping you company at the end of the! 😊
Even light on the flowers...the border is still very beautiful full of contrast and textures.
Thanks for taking the time to give us a garden tour. It is never too long. Always interesting to get your take on how things are growing for you. I always get plenty of ideas from you.
Thank you.....lately I have been finding myself going through impatient gardener withdrawal! I search every day for more ! LOL!! I know you can't do that, but I can' help myself.
No not too long. Really enjoyed it. I think I was most impressed by the shared. It looks amazing considering it’s only a year old. Good job!
I love how thoughtfully every garden is planted.❤

Great tour, your garden is so varied and well planned.
Your new shrub border looks really great, full of inspiration!
Oh wow the mangave! You are such a brilliant gardener
Wow!😍 Very beautiful!
Thank you Erin for the tour...the shared garden hedge is looking really great. I love boxwoods in their natural shape✨
I love the layering look growth of the Haas Halo.
Erin,
Till I saw you standing in front of it @ your opening, I couldn't believe how huge Banana 2.0 had grown--WOW!!! 😯😯😯
Always love to see your garden. The combinations you put together are always great! Thanks for the ideas!
Wonderful tour! Everything is so beautiful and things are filling in nicely 💚💚💚
The way you use nicotiana all over though, that dark wine red one is like ❤wow.
Mixed hedge looks amazing for only one year+ !!

Did anyone notice the humming bird behind Erin on the right hand side at 41.45 (time stamp) BEAUTIFUL TO SEE🐦🐦🐦
Everything is looking gorgeous and the 11 foot banana tree, amazing had to send a picture of it to my daughter who has one amazing again thank you for sharing 👍❤️🙂
Loved the journey throughout your gardens which are never to long! Made the green bean soup and it’s a hit with family! Stay green. 😉
✨💖✨
Very pretty garden!

I really like the liguilaria to fill in by creek. A cool look. Also, curious why some of my Dahlia's are just barely blooming. Love the tour!
Thanks so much for sharing your garden! I love the 'Wild Magic' basil and so many other things in your garden 😄 Where do you get the seed for 'Wild Magic' basil?
Very beautiful. Enjoyed so much.
Once more your video has left me inspired. Dry here too :( in Mercer county NJ
The willow in your planter: will you use the dried branches in arrangements?
Beautiful gardens! How do you get all this work done? You are amazing! 😮
The contorted willows grow super easy from cuttings. 😊
I like garden tours
I wnder if the burgundy ball is ivanetti a sort of cornel bronze, it is so good
thanks Erin! looks great 🪴
Beautiful! Everything looks great! Crossing fingers for some rain soon!
Which greenhouse are you going to take your agave too? How does that process work?

Beautiful, Erin! Wanted to see more about your hornbeam hedge. Am currently into learning about pleaching and I think hornbeams are good for this?
Dang your side of the house bed had very few Nicotiana but that is where they used to be so many! Me too, though, some biennials just go away when it's dry it seems
What do you use for deer??
