  • On this episode of Guiding Green Thumbs we check out our largest shade garden in Early June 2021. We show the many different shade-loving plants & perennials every garden should have. This tour shows off our best growing hostas, new hostas we've added and perennials that thrive in dry shade conditions. The video is labeled with plant names for your convenience! Come along for the tour!

    OK, I have to give props to your husband for his attempts to bring the dad humor into this... As a fellow dad and husband I fully understand the need and desire to unleash the pent up dad jokes that are almost impossible NOT to say when your given the right material to work with. So, this one's for you, husband behind the camera guy, because no one else will appreciate your humor! 👍😏

    Every morning right before my coffee I take our dog out to potty and walk my entire garden. I have to see what's happening to every plant in every spot every day! I agree the Bleeding Heart is gorgeous but can be a bit of a bully in the garden "I'm a pansy, will you pet me?" Brian is a mess and adds so much to your tours

      I LOVE morning walks... every day I do the same! Bryan may not see the difference everyday but i can spot them in a second haha... and yes... he cant wait to add his two cents in where he can! Thanks for the comment!

    Here it is a year later, and my Ferns, Heucheras and Hostas have popped up. Wasn't sure they would due to many small snows and severe cold we had. I had to put up a make shift fence due to a new puppy I took in. He isn't a digger, but a grab and go dog with MANY of my plants, I lost a lot. No pond yet, but I may get it in towards mid Summer. I'm also starting a ton of Heucheras from seed. Looks easy and much cheaper then the over 2000 grand I spent last year, (Never spent so much on plants before)! Most plant stores and nurseries have little selection of Hostas and Heucheras. So I sent away for 1200 mixed seeds of Heucheras. Your videos are an inspiration. Thanks so much!

    What a beautiful garden..Love Hostas!! My neighbor has Hosta Liberty and they don't look like much in the pot but man when they get bigger they get Amazing color.A true showstopper!! I am sooo happy you pointed out your Hydrangeas hardly bloom in NY due to the late frosts. Same thing happens to mine here in Illinois by Chicago. I've had my hydrangeas for 7 years. Every year no blooms but because of the warmer temperatures this spring my 5 older varieties have blooms. My endless summer ones usually will get maybe 3-5 blooms but this year I have like over 15-30 blooms on each plant old and new varieties.

    • @GuidingGreenThumbs
      @GuidingGreenThumbs  3 роки тому

      Yes!! Its going to be an awesome year for hydrangeas! I am SO excited! Enjoy them and take lots of pictures! :-)

    New subscriber here. I just found your channel today, and I loved this video! It reminds me of a gorgeous hosta garden I had planted at my previous house. All of the hostas and ground covers there came from a grocery bag full of hostas and ground covers I grabbed from my grandma’s house when they moved. They grew so well, they filled my entire 1/3 acre lot on 3 sides and under trees!
