I love that you don’t fast forward through everything. I like hearing the actual gardening sounds and hearing you talk while you do chores. It feels like we are actually in the garden with you.
Your garden is very beautiful and very neat! Thanks for the leaf blower tip, the quick joiner for hose, mentioning all the variety and tool names, and mixing 5 gallons at once in a bucket. I think a funnel and a helper would do the trick for the bucket pour.
Hey guys! Your Garden is so gorgeous! The shot of Eric cleaning the fountain - you can really get a sense of the plant diversity and garden artistry you both have created. I paused the video just to admire!
Well now I will be doing a much better job fertilizing my containers and flower beds thanks to you two! I so enjoy watching you both in your gorgeous yard.
Hello Janette, lovely idea. Do not give up hope of the pond etc being used. I was observing my pond one evening and a frog and newts were busy crawling out of the pond and back in again 😊xx
You just blew my mind. I’ve been hand mixing can after can of water soluble fertilizer. That ends now. Off to Amazon to get that. Chapin wet/dry sprayer. Always learning from you both.🌸🌼🌺🌼🌸
I absolutely can not wait to get moved to upstate NY to get my garden started. For some reason I’ve noticed plants seem to grow so much better up there than here. I don’t know if it’s the soil or the zone but it’s so beautiful there. And for deer I grow super hot peppers then make a solution and put in my sprayer. Essential a pepper spray the police use lol.
Your guys’ garden is immaculate!! ❤ Every time I see how clean and beautiful yours is it motivates me to go out and pull a weed or deadhead something 😂
Your garden is gogorgeous! Unfortunately, here in South Texas, we are about to hit with a tropical system, which could be a tropical storm or a cat. 1 hurricane. A cat 1 will be fine . I've been through 5 hurricanes already . We survived Harvey's wrath . Cat 5. It's depressing to think how my yard will look afterward. That's why l love your garden. It's always impeccable! ❤❤😊😊
Thanks for the tour. I think I need to purchase a motion sensor to deter the deer. I appreciate the info you give to help me improve my garden spaces. See you next time.
Re: deer repellent sprayer, check with Rod & Heidi with Garden Crossings. He demonstrated one they like quite well, or Erin with the Impatient Garden also has one she uses. Definitely nasty spray but very worthwhile. I’ve not heard before to feed hydrangeas with fish emulsion. Interesting.
I have had issues with deer as their path is through my yard. This spring we set up the Orbit yard enforcer and it works like a charm!! However, the bunnies are now taking over the damage. But it’s still so much better then what I had to deal with over the years. We don’t even need to spray anymore, I have 8 enforcers haha
Just found your page and so glad i did. You two are wonderful with the teamwork. Now this beautiful garden, I would never go indoors. I"ve already gotten lots of ideas for my garden. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning Eric and Christopher, we are doing the same chores as you! Already have been out there this morning for an hour and a half before the onslaught of the terrible heat ahead here in Northern Virginia. Stay cool guys🌞😅
@@growformegardening that’s great, gardening with such heat is daunting, hopefully today we will have some rain, it has been very dry. Thank goodness a large portion of our gardens are in the shade.
Just came home from Home Depot. The one by me (Utica) has all shrubs, and roses 50% off! Worth a check near you! I made out like a bandit 😅❤ Hydrangeas, yew, arborvitae, boxwoods…and I was able to snag more popcorn drift roses to enlarge my drift. Everything was like $11-$15!!
We also fertilized our potted flowers today! Only we did it before I saw this video. Unfortunately we have been using a watering can this year mainly because our Miracle Gro system broke over the winter. As soon as I saw your Chapin I showed wifey and we ordered it. Thanks so much for today’s video. I learn something new every day. See you Saturday!
Okay you two your videos sound just like PBS Victory Garden! And your garden rivals any ever on that program. No matter when we watch it feels like a lazy Saturday. ❤️
Hey guys- I got my hands on the PW supertunia Tiara blue here in Ontario Canada at Home Depot!! It is so beautiful!! and how you paired it up with the double chiffon! Its gorgeous!! 😍
Thank you for this video. Exactly what I needed to learn! Had been confused about fertilizing (what, when, how). After trying the time-consuming method of using a watering can and measuring scoops of fertilizer, my annuals looked worse not better. Will buy Proven Winners fertilization products & equipment today. Appreciate you sharing what goes on behind-the-scenes to make your gardens so beautiful and healthy. Your leaf blower trick was brilliant, by the way!
Good strategy, Christopher. 😆 "Eric, you are so good at pouring the deer spray into the sprayer!" Future applications, it becomes Eric's task because he's "so good" at it. 😆
I’m So happy to know the Orbit Yard Enforcer is working for you. I use it and suggested it; perhaps other viewers did, too. I’m adjusting the sensor piece (lower) to see if it will sense the rascally rabbit( first time chewer after 44 years on my property!) that is eating my snapdragons.
Loved it, I got tickled when Eric got sprayed , I have to admit I giggled sorry. Good job and everything is looking amazing!! Your hard work is really paying off. Very educational that gadget looks like it might just do the trick! And, that new orbit hose looks like I need one. Happy July 4th!
The provin winters plant food has chelated iron in it with eddha in it. If you feed your plants with iron and the still look like they need more iron use this eddha. I live 30 miles from Garden Answer. They use this all the time. They sell this eddha iron. I use this all the time. It works
So, for the tour, will you put up name placards, so people will know what they're looking at? Of course, most gardeners will know. But some may not, especially variety names.
Thank you for the tour, guys. Great tips and I love your garden! When you get a chance, can you talk about your wicker patio furniture? I like the style of it. ❤
Great Job guys. It has been hard to trying to do my garden chores. The heat, humidity and bugs are not making it easy. Even though I work from home iv been so busy. Mom & I can't wait to see your garden on Jul 20. Will we be able to take pictures?
Chris when you speak you can barely hear what you’re saying but when Eric speaks it’s super loud. It’s been like this the last few videos.. my volume doesn’t go up anymore!
Your garden is gorgeous! I'm in zone 5b Colorado and you've inspired me to try Panicle Hydrangeas, fingers crossed :) On order from Proven Winners to plant after heat has passed. Question on your mulch. Is it compost mulch or just compost that you spread as mulch and where do you get it? I see this on Garden Answer as well and it looks beautiful.
Thank you! We have compost delivered in bulk from a local supplier and spread it just like we would mulch. We've done it for a few years now with amazing success.
Great video with a ton of detail. How often do you have to spray the deer repellent you used at the end of the video. The deer are eating the new growth on my hydrangeas so badly. What is the name of what you used. Thanks so much!
Erin at The Impatient Gardener has a backpack sprayer which she recommends. Perhaps she can give you some insight regarding its ease of use without clogging,,
I use the PW fertilizer but I’ve always just used a big watering can and refilled multiple times. Watched this video Thursday and thought “game changer”! So I went to the store, bought the same hose end sprayer and followed your instructions….but I must be doing something wrong because I believe I just watered over 100 annuals with water only 😩 I thought it was odd the water was clear, although in the container tank I knew it was mixed with the fertilizer. The mixture in the tank never decreased. I removed the top, double checked the suction tube, basket and settings, still just water. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? (I tried calling the company but they’re closed on Sat/Sun) Thanks for any tips you may be able to provide.
@@growformegardening 🤷🏻♀️I will try calling the company again on Monday. Should the amount of liquid in the “tank” decrease as the fertilizer is used up? I have another hose end sprayer I use for herbicide and it empties as I go. But it’s a liquid concentrate so it pulls the set amount and mixes with the water as it’s dispersed. I appreciate you responding to my question. I know as your channel grows you won’t be able to do that, but it sure is nice for now😊Happy gardening🌸
I loved the idea of the Chapin sprayer and ordered one from Amazon. I’ve tried 2 different chapin sprayers but both clogged with the proven winners fertilizer and it never seemed to draw the fertilizer up and dispense. The color never changed. Curious to know if yours has held up for you with all the fertilizing you do in your absolutely beautiful gardens. I wanted it to work so badly!
Do you think the fish fertilizer draws raccoons to your yard? I bought fish fertilizer but after getting it home I was afraid to use it because we have raccoons and I sure don't need to draw them to the yard. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I love your videos. You have a beautiful garden.
I am in ohio zone 6 and I am looking at your garden and comparing with mine. I have some of the same hydrangeas and roses that you have but mine look pathetic. I think I am learning the importance of fertilizing. I always mean to but hardly ever get to it.
Our plants & trees are so overrun with beetles that green leaves now look like brown lace. You're not having this issue?? (We're in the same upstate NY zone.)
I am spraying often with Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew... and we are very lucky that. neighbor put out the beetle bags...it is just far enough away that we aren't getting hit too bad
So I would love to pick at both of you garden minds I have a long front white vinyl fence that I have planted little lime hydrangeas and also at last roses also have some echinacea but I am looking for some more shrub ideas to plant with them and I am stuck have been thinking about it for weeks I also have Veronica and nepata the cats Pj please help with a small idea I would sooo appreciate it I just love how you both have put together your garden I am stuck please help Happy 4th of July
hydrogen peroxide does the same thing but ba lot cheaper and those who have aquatic plants in their fish tanks use it to control algae and its safe for fish
Do NOT buy that Chapin wet/dry sprayer. I bought it because of this video. The sprayer was leaking like crazy. The nozzle to choose the different options was loose. It was very cheap plastic. I gave it 2 days of proper use to test it out - even had my husband try in case I was doing something wrong. The dry option didn’t disperse the fertilizer at all. I had to change it to the wet option on the highest level to get the thing to disperse anything at all. Waste of time and money.
Good morning Eric and Christopher, we are doing the same chores as you! Already have been out there this morning for an two hours and a half before the onslaught of the terrible heat ahead here in Northern Virginia. Stay cool guys🌞😅
I love that you don’t fast forward through everything. I like hearing the actual gardening sounds and hearing you talk while you do chores. It feels like we are actually in the garden with you.
I try to cut out long stretches where we aren't talking, but I love the sound of our pruners so I leave lots of that in
The garden view as Eric was scrubbing away. So gorgeous!!😍😍
It's a real labor of love, but it's worth it to have such a wonderful space.
Your garden is very beautiful and very neat! Thanks for the leaf blower tip, the quick joiner for hose, mentioning all the variety and tool names, and mixing 5 gallons at once in a bucket. I think a funnel and a helper would do the trick for the bucket pour.
Oh yeah..the funnel is coming
Wow! From the porch/fountain, the yard looks so lush and beautiful. I would spend all my time back there. It's only going to get better with maturity.
We can't wait to see how it matures!
I love the tiara line 🥰 19:17

We generally don't need additional iron beyond the plant food. Our soil is pretty neutral. It does give the leaves a little extra boost of green
So, for the tour, will you put up name placards, so people will know what they're looking at?
Of course, most gardeners will know.
But some may not, especially variety names.
For long tours I put up as many plant tags as I can
Can you make a future video on how you prune your more particular roses like Vanessa Bell? I’m still learning!🤓
Once the next flush comes we will talk more about that. The general rule is to go back to a set of five leaves.
Thank you for the tour, guys. Great tips and I love your garden! When you get a chance, can you talk about your wicker patio furniture? I like the style of it. ❤
At some point we will have to tour the terrace srudf

How often do you fertilize your annuals? They look fantastic!
The back containers have only been fertilized once! In the ground we have been doing weekly feeds
where is your urn and pedestal from? it's all so beautiful!!
They are from Campania International!

Never! Keep them well watered!
Use a funnel with deer fertilizer.
I finally ordered one!

If you use compost as mulch every year, it will begin improving your soil so that fertilizing isn’t as necessary
@@growformegardening I built my garden with no dig beds using compost. I added compost around all the plants this year again.
That's a tough one then. We have had plants that just say "I hate it here".
