    A little hint to help plants survive transplanting: Soak the plants in a basin, kids wading pool or something and let them all get a good, long drink. Dig a little wider and deeper than the root ball, throw some mulch and fertilizer into the hole and then water deeply. Then put the plants in and gently but firmly press the soil around them. Water the topsoil and then mulch.

    • @michelepaccione8806

      It also helps to form the surrounding soil into a little "wall" around the roots of the plant, so when you water the water won't just run away from the plant.

      Yeah ditto, let's us viewers support the good DIWife couple to get some hands on training with a guest horticulturalist. They definitely need to learn more about how to plant. Those plants aren't rocks. Think of the savings in plants, and they'll love gardening eventually. All gardeners can vouch for it getting under your skin and overtaking down time coz it's enjoyable, relaxing and REWARDING. cheers to all

      How you placed them before you planted them is the way to do it. Remember to tease the roots when you take the plant out of the pot. Make sure you water the new plants until they are established. Get the kids involved. Good luck!

    I’m an avid Gardner. Just a couple of tips for future planting. It makes the plants establish roots growth to use Espoma starter fertilizer. When the ground is that dry you should put water in the hole before you put dirt in then be sure to tamp the dirt in to not have pockets of air. All in all I love the selection of plants. Makes that space look amazing. Good job!

    Love the landscape design and your plant selection. Please saturate your new plants and flower beds with water because some of your root balls appeared to be dry. Then your drip irrigation will have a great start. Add some starter fertilizer so plants have established root system before we have a freeze. Dean you will need to dig up the crepe myrtle roots. Just trust me on this one. You can plant the roots out back and next year you will a free beautiful crepe myrtle. Fun video. Thanks see you next week.

    What an inspiring and practical for anyone looking to elevate their curb appeal. The flower bed design ideas shared in the video were not only visually appealing but also accessible for DIY enthusiasts. The transformation showcased in the front yard makeover proves that with a bit of creativity, even the most lackluster spaces can be turned into vibrant, welcoming areas.

    Can I just say how much I love playful Dean? These videos are always so lighthearted. I'm still a young adult but already I feel the pressure to be quiet and fit into the norm, to not catch any attention especially as a girl / woman. So next time I'll have a little shopping cart race or dance to the music in the supermarket I won't feel ashamed anymore😊in these times, everyone needs to have these small moments of joy or we'll all go insane. So I hope everyone had a great day. And if not, there will always be a new day to start over or just reset. Also you're not alone!🥰

      Advice from a NOT so YOUNG ADULT, If you want to sing or dance, enjoy yourself, dont let the presence of strangers strangle your fun (dont let anybody spoil you fun). I bounce around on space hoppers., sing, dance, etc
      I dont know these people. I'm not hurting anyone, and it brightens their day too.

    Good job!!!! Trial and error is almost all of our landscaping and DIY chores. Then you go to UA-cam and find someone to learn from. Even with experience things fail. After losing our dogs to old age we are being infested with deer. They have eaten every new plant and landscaping efforts I have installed this year after a hard freeze. Even in Oregon we are experiencing a new climate and planting zone. It is always a challenge to be met.

We have the pea gravel like you do too, although ours is in a flower bed because we have a 4 foot over hang, so nothing grows. Love all the plants you picked out, and those pots with the mums! I love them! Fall is my favorite time of year! Good job, it looks beautiful!❤
