Hi Dawn! It has been a strange summer here in zone 8B-too hot and humid followed by lots of rain and humidity and so many flowers and plants haven’t been happy! It was too hot to garden or plant anything new; just maintain what we have. Your garden is soooo beautiful but you too have had weather to deal with. Saw your new video up on your channel and I will watch it now since catching up with you. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your garden and home!
Hello Janice!! That does not sound like fun. I really do not like summers like that. We had a pretty good year with lots of rain which most plants like. Hopefully next summer is better for you.
Yes I love a mix if annuals and perennials. Obviously the perennials out number the annuals by a lot. But I do enjoy changing things up and annuals are the way to do that. Some I grow from seed too.
I love your gardens. We have been getting lots of rain here in zone 6b high desert in north eastern New Mexico. Many of my plants are spent like my yellow yarrow , nepata and salvia. You inspired me to re-design those plants and I’m looking forward. Thank you for posting your beautiful garden.
Thank you so much. I am so happy to provide inspiration. You are probably much warmer than I am so I can see you why some of your things are probably done. Summer just goes by so fast.
I am in Minneapolis Minnesota zone 4. And you are right, it did seem to rain every other day. But not at end of July not as much rain and we could use some. Your gardens are beautiful.
I love your garden . Always looking forward to your videos. I live in the Pacific Northwest Zone 8b. It's summer and my roses are in full bloom and the daylilies. We have had a very hot summer this year and I am constantly watering the hostas and hydrangeas. Looking forward to your video of the coming garden tour.
I'm in New England and we have had weeks of very hot very humid weather. Not a ton of rain. I have needed to water daily. My little limes are just about ready to bloom. I also saw my first dahlia pop open today.
Absolutely breathtaking ❤️I found it very interesting that you burn the prairie. Can you do a video talking about it. I would love to see you do it. I think it would be interesting if you could explain it and share that with us.
Great suggestion. I was thinking about doing that this year but was not able to get the video. Unfortunately, we only burn every several years! But with photos and information I might be able to put something together. Thanks again for this suggestion.
We take a gallon of water, jalapeno, whole garlic crushed, chili powder, Chyenne pepper and simmer it on the stove for 1hr. Strain let cool then mix in 2 beaten eggs. Set in the sun for a 1 or 2 days. Put in sprayer and apply to hostas or flower that the deer like. So far it been working. Reapply after a rain. Got this recipe from a fellow gardener
Oh my gosh, I have them here too! I think it’s because of all the rain is so wet!! Occasionally I’ll pick up a damp towel in the house and one will be in there. I hate it.!!
Thanks for taking us on a tour Dawn. I love your garden. You should be very proud of of the beautiful results of your hard work. In Alberta Canada we had lots of rain this spring for a welcome change but have to get the hose out now in the heat. Im thinking of adding so many perennials after seeing them in your garden. I think the moonshine yarrow is top of my list to find. Good luck with your open day. Wish I was closer.
Thank you so much for the nice comment. You would love the moonshine Yarrow. I just think it is such a great addition to my garden, especially paired with the Stachys Hummelo! Hope you get some rain and a little relief from the heat soon!!
Gorgeous as always! Everything is so lush! I'm in a pocket of very dry and hot weather in southern PA, just a few miles from western MD. Our yards are crispy and brown! I have to constantly water my gardens with a sprinkler! Thank you for sharing the beauty you've created!
Thank you so very much. I always find the weather so frustrating. Some parts of the country are getting no rain and other parts are getting way too much. Why can’t it just get spread out evenly? I know what that brown lawn looks like!! And I also can appreciate the amount of watering one has to do when you’re in a drought. Hang in there. Hope you get rain soon.
Gorgeous gardens! In Kentucky, it was nothing but rain in the spring but since early June, it’s been extremely hot and very dry. It’s definitely been a frustrating year in the garden but that seems to be the way of the weather anymore. We just have to make note, and edit to keep up with the weather changes.
Hello and thank you. Yes agree it’s been such a strange gardening season so far. We had rain every other day up until just this week. Now, I wonder if we’re in for the hot and dry month. But you’re right what you gonna do!!
Absolutely stunning garden! We have had a shocking summer in Scotland so far so a lot of plants are struggling and stunted but hey ho, there is always next year!
i LOVE your camera work of the gardens - beautiful gardens! when you go around, can you point out/ name more of the flowers clearly? I'm a novice and trying to learn names for what I see. --thanks! Natalie
Your garden is beautiful! I always look forward to your garden tours. Here in Minnesota we have had a lot of rain too! Everything in my flower gardens are doing very well, but my vegetable garden doesn’t like all the moisture! It will likely be drier in July. Thanks for sharing!!
So Beautiful Dawn! You are such a talented gardener. We are in a drought here in Virginia so we have lost some flowers and plants and the grass is brown which is unusual. Fingers crossed we will get some highly anticipated rain today!
Same here in Delaware zone 7B. We’ve been in a drought as well and just getting out of a week long heat wave with extremely oppressive humidity! 🥵 But finally got some rain ☔️ today, just not enough! Did you get your rain today?
Hi Dawn! Your gardens are absolutely stunning!! 😍 So wish I lived closer to WI so I could tour your beautiful property in person. What’s the variety of the purple salvia at 3:37? It’s such a deep purple…just gorgeous! Also, did you end up removing the burlap and cage from your new Eastern Redbud tree? I also noticed the root flare isn’t exposed or did I just miss it? I’ve learned that making sure the root flare is exposed and not covered by mulch is very important for tree health. Happy gardening! 🌿👒🪴
Hello!! The salvia is Wesuwe. Yes we removed part of the cage and burlap and rope. The root ball is enormous and heavy so the lower portion of the cage and burlap are still there. Otherwise we’d disrupt the root ball and that’s not good. I’m thinking it’s why they are telling people to leave it on. And yes definitely the flair is exposed. Correct very important!! Thanks for the comments 😊
Just beautiful. You are very talented. What type of phlox is the purple/blue garden phlox in the glass house garden? Please and thank you. I think that garden is stunning.
Dawn, you have done and always do an amazing job on the design of your gardens and containers. Watching this tour was wonderful and a feast for the eyes. Must be so beautiful to be surrounded by all of it. Would love to know the variety of the tall purple/blue phlox? Thanks for sharing 😊🌺
Beautiful gardens Dawn!! Love your design choices and hope to create a prairie like yours one day. Also, I'm getting my house painted this summer and love the color of your house. Do you know the paint colors? I might do the same!
Thank you so much! The color is a custom color I wish I knew. I’m so sorry. I do know that it’s a gray with green undertones to make it a bit warmer. I hope that helps some.
Yeah try egg yolk in water for your hostas I use three egg yolks in a really large size spray bottle and then water and shake it and you just have to do it like one time I have 30 yards at memorial Park in New Kensington PA and I've been doing it for years now and it works really good so try it they don't like that egg yolk it goes down into the pasta and that I think that's why you don't have to keep doing it sometimes I'll do it one more time but usually just the one time have a good day I love all to your show okay bye
Thank you very much. She spends Fall thru early December in the greenhouse then into the great room (house) right in front of those big floor to ceiling windows that face southwest. Then she comes back out into the Greenhouse late March early April.!
You have an amazing garden. I agree with you that plants have gotten so big this year. I’ve had so many of them flopping but my containers so as well. What’s the name of the allium in the garden at the greenhouse? Do you stake your hydrangea hedge?
Beautiful as always!! We are in a severe drought in my area, 6b south central Kansas. Question, do your Stachys Hummelo rebloom? Mine do not and have a very short bloom life. They are one of my favorites.
My Fad is in Wichita and they are dry too. I hate the drought. Sorry to hear that!! IF I deadhead immediately they will throw up a few more blooms but I have not found them to be strong rebloomers like my salvia or Nepita.
@@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn I’m about 45 min from Wichita to the NW and luckily they have received more rain than we have. It’s so bad here. Thanks for your response.
Hi Dawn…could you please tell me what plants you have included in the short bowl urns at 26:02? Aside from the verbena bonariensis, I couldn’t tell what the rest of them were and just love the combination you’ve created! 🪴👒🌿
Oh thank you so much. That recipe is a blue violet scaevola, white upright lobelia, superbena sparkling amethyst, Supertunia royal velvet, and the meteor shower verbena bonariensus. Happy planting!!
@@SeasonalDesignsbyDawn Thanks Dawn! I’m going to try that combination for sure! What’s the variety of the deep purple salvia you have in your garden? The ones that were blooming profusely in the spring along with your nepeta?
Thank you. Oh yes, I have a couple of large patches of black eyed Susans. The deer do not seem to bother it in my garden. They don’t bother the other things that I have in my garden either like Stachy’s, Nepita, Salvia, etc
Wisconsin and a lot of rain here too. We are heading into our first seven days without rain. Hard to believe. We’ve probably gotten rain every other day since May! It’s a lot of rain but man does it save a lot of time in the garden watering!!
Your garden is an absolute beautiful dream! You’re a very talented designer and gardener 😍
Thank you very much. Appreciate that nice comment 😊
You have a beautiful garden, and I enjoy watching your channel. Great mix of colors and textures.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!!
What a gorgeous garden ❤ Such a feast for the eyes!!!
Thank you!!
I love that with your greenhouse, you can enjoy so many of the colors even in the winter.
Thank you!!

So many annuals. You must love planting. Beautiful gardens!

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing..
You are so welcome!🤗
Beautiful, Dawn love your color combinations. I had one lupine with 8 blooms, I can't imagine having a meadow full. So beautiful.
Thank you Beverly!!

Love your gardens as always! I need some of that Rainbow Marcella. Wow!
Thank you. I love it too. It has such a unique coloring to it.
so beautiful thanks for sharing
Thank you 😊
I'm in New England and we have had weeks of very hot very humid weather. Not a ton of rain. I have needed to water daily. My little limes are just about ready to bloom. I also saw my first dahlia pop open today.
I’ve heard that!! Hit and humid but dry…that’s the worst. So sorry!! Yea for the dahlia!!
So pretty. Love your perennial combinations!
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous 😍
Thank you! 😊
Very nice !
Thank you very much!
The garden is absolutely beautiful, but I have to admit the GREEN HOUSE IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME ❤

Don’t the eggs plug the sprayer?
@@user-wn3wg9hn3u beat the egg well. I used an empty deer resistant spray jug that I hadn't pitched and didn't
have a problem.
Lovely gardens!
Thank you 😊
Flower Garden beautiful.. 😘😁💐🌹🌺🌷🌷🥰👍😭
Thank you 😊
So beautiful! I’ve been struggling with earwigs in my garden, so frustrating!
Oh my gosh, I have them here too! I think it’s because of all the rain is so wet!! Occasionally I’ll pick up a damp towel in the house and one will be in there. I hate it.!!
Your garden is so peaceful. I love all your plant combinations.
Thank you so very much. I appreciate your comment.🙏🏻
Beautiful gardens - love seeing them.
Thank you 🙏🏻 😊
dry, dry, dry in the southeast, no rain at all, your garden is gorgeous, I'm sure alot of work but worth it
Ugggh dry is so difficult…. Even more work!!

Yes I should have done better. I named them all in my spring tour but really missed the mark on this one.
Your garden is beautiful! I always look forward to your garden tours. Here in Minnesota we have had a lot of rain too! Everything in my flower gardens are doing very well, but my vegetable garden doesn’t like all the moisture! It will likely be drier in July. Thanks for sharing!!
Sooo much rain. Compared to the drought last year I like this year better. Were you dry last year too?
Yes very dry last year
Beautiful!

Swoon-worthy garden! 🌸❤ What do you do with the Bird of Paradise in the winter?
Thank you very much. She spends Fall thru early December in the greenhouse then into the great room (house) right in front of those big floor to ceiling windows that face southwest. Then she comes back out into the Greenhouse late March early April.!
Hello dear friend, absolutely stunningly beautiful, love Heather ❤
Hello Heather!! Thanks so much!!❤
I’m struggling with black and green aphids and also ants 😢 it’s been a rough season.
Ugggh fun. You know the ants are bad this year here too!! What is going on with ants!!
You have an amazing garden. I agree with you that plants have gotten so big this year. I’ve had so many of them flopping but my containers so as well. What’s the name of the allium in the garden at the greenhouse? Do you stake your hydrangea hedge?
Thank you 😊 That is Summer Beauty Allium. And no staking for the Bobo Hydrangeas 😊
beautiful garden could you share where you get the stachys
Thank you. From a local garden place. You can search for Stachys Hummelo online too as garden centers will ship as well. Good luck!
Soooooo schön🤩🤩💚💚👍👍

Beautiful gardens. May I ask if the lupine was planted by seeds or plugs? Thanks 😊
Thank you. Everything in the prairie was originally planted from seed including the Lupine.
What a lovely garden! you have a lot of coreopsis and echinacea, but not black eyed susan, is black eyed susan not deer resistant? thanks
Thank you. Oh yes, I have a couple of large patches of black eyed Susans. The deer do not seem to bother it in my garden. They don’t bother the other things that I have in my garden either like Stachy’s, Nepita, Salvia, etc
Beautiful gảdeb could you share, where you get the stachys
A local garden center but if search online for them you could potentially find a grower that ships!
How do you keep your stachys growing/ blooming? Mine do well in spring/early summer then peter out, even the foliage.
I do deadhead which can help and I do not let them get dry.
Thank you so much. lot's a rain in KS. Where do you live?
Wisconsin and a lot of rain here too. We are heading into our first seven days without rain. Hard to believe. We’ve probably gotten rain every other day since May! It’s a lot of rain but man does it save a lot of time in the garden watering!!
