- Thanks for growing with us!
It’s time for a garden check in! We want to keep sharing the changes as they come each week for the Spring. This week we are seeing more daffodils and leucojem blooms, so many plants waking up, and so many things still to come. After our walk around we have a really fun new tool to share.

Again, need to comment on how very much i appreciate showing the names of all your plants! Thank you for being this precise for us.
I could not agree more!! I often take screen shots of plants I might want to add to my garden and I sometimes forget to add the names in the caption. That is never a problem on the Grow for Me channel and I find I take lots of screen shots here because they showcase so many beautiful plants! 💚
Yes i do too APPRECIATE💚
I'm trying to keep up with it. I think it's helpful
Thanks.... I'll be honest, in a few weeks we have our big shipments of plants coming. My fingers will be on fire from adding all the names!!!! hahaha
:)
14:40 Christopher's face when he said who needs grass 😊😇 The new curving lines look great! The dry creek bed idea will be a really wonderful addition there, the river birch is such a pretty tree in winter!
Definitely one of the best trees we have
Spring is wonderful! The way you guys can recite every single plant/shrub/tree is amazing!! ❤
We might have trouble after planting starts.... there is a lot coming!
I can’t wait to see your hydrangea room come to life!!! 😍
Me too!!
You guys have been busy, especially reconfiguring beds. I love the curves you've added.
Your garden looks really pretty, despite the wildlife pressure you have. I have deer, rabbits, squirrels, moles, sometimes voles, and slugs and snails.
Thankfully no moles for us, but those critters are annoying
Love the aerial shots! Looks fantastic!! It’s amazing what you have accomplished in a relatively short amount of time. Very inspiring❤
Thanks a ton!
I'm so glad to see you two again, Spring time!! zone 9b San Francisco Bay Area
We are so excited to see it all wake up
I love love love the new shape of the beds!!!!
Thanks!
You’re most welcome fella
Hi Guys! That was such a clever idea w the 3 trillis supported on the vinyl fence hook.. why didn’t I think of that?!! I have a 9 ft trillis, also zip tied together against my fence. I laid tall heavy cement blocks in front of it with heavy potted plants to support up instead. Love your channel & garden. Such creative inspirational ideas! ❤❤
It's really working well for us
@10:00 Grass growing underneath the fence... We make clay bricks (we have red clay about 8 inches down) and fill the holes to the top of the fence. The are porous so they drain and don't hurt the fence. We also put flashing about 18 inches vertically so critters don't dig underneath and go into the orchard, market, veg and potager gardens. So, you do what I do... yeah!
ooh that's a lot. We have been stuffing bricks in front of the grass with moderate success.
I love your videos & I'm excited to see your hydrangea room in full bloom!
I became a first-time homeowner in September '23, you guys inspired me to plant hydrangeas in my front flowerbed last fall. Now, three out of the five are beginning to sprout. 🥳Spring, is that you?
That is awesome!
Beautiful green and structure !
Many thanks
The curves in the garden bed and lawn as you walk from hydrangea room into the back is impeccable ❤❤❤❤ I loooove it
I'm very proud of that swoop
Everything is looking lovely as always. Looking forward to seeing the weekly garden updates. Beautiful just beautiful 🌷
Thanks so much 😊
Happy Anniversary. Cute gift❤
Thanks... it was in October! We had them in the laundry room all winter while we decided where to put them
So happy to see your garden from the beginning of spring this year. It’s such joy and inspiration. Going to Skye Hydrangea event this weekend so excited to learn from her.
The Queeeeeeen!!!!! We love her
@@growformegardening she had so many great things to say about you too. Enjoy the travels upcoming together. Sounds amazing!
The event must have been wonderful!
Oh i cant wait to see the dwarf blur juniper!! One of my favorites & I plan to add one to my landscape this yr🥰 thank you guys for putting this tour together!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Your garden just looks stunning!!! I look forward to each and every one of your videos - I am constantly inspired to try new things in my own Cape Cod garden. Thank you!!!
Well we love Cape Cod gardens...we are going to the hydrangea festival!
@@growformegardening That is amazing. It is so much fun. If you need a place to stay, please let me know. Or if I can help with any recommendations, I would love to help. I am heading up to Poland NY in July, and have put the garden center Faddegons on my stop list. I loved your Christmas visit there.
Thank you. We are all set for where we are staying. There are some events we have already planned but there will be lots of time to check out gardens!
I always take something away from your videos! I must have the taper. Still thinking hard about adding a Clematis to my climbing rose, I jotted down Betty Corning Clematis to research. Also looking for something blue in my fence border bed, so looking forward to seeing and hearing about the blue spruce hybrid you’re getting. 😊
I chose Betty because it was recommended by Brushwood Nursery. Look them up!
Brushwood Nursery sent amazing healthy clematis. I will use them again!
@@BloomThereItIs I like how they ship too. You can see the roots clearly and know how healthy they are
Thanks again for the weekly update in the garden.
Our pleasure!
They are on repeat at my home all the time trying to attempt replication or similar garden views
@@BloomThereItIs That's wonderful!
Placing the brick under the fence is a great idea. My neighbours don't cut their grass or weed, so I have difficulty keeping up with their weed in the edge of my garden *sigh*
It helps a little
Wee White & Bobo are our 2 smallest Hydrangeas in 5b/6a, west suburban Chicago.
We love them both! Tiny Quick Fire is our tiniest. It's really cute
I love it. "Who needs grass".😅
Not me!
Awesome drone footage🎉love your idea of the hooks on fence for3 the trellis and that max tapener fast & easy so good!. New Plants selectios are beautiful can't wait to see the new planters thanks again for this tour💚🌱😊🌄
Thanks 👍
Looking forward to seeing your garden this year. ❤
Can't wait!
I love your garden tours!! You guys are the best of the best!!!❤🌸🪴🌱🌹
Thank you so much!
Tiny tidbit.... Pruned my double orange flowering quince two weeks ago and brought the branches in to see if they would bloom. I now have beautiful stems on my mantle which are blooming a creamy pale peach color! They are absolutely beautiful!!!!! So happy.
That's a wonderful idea. It's a great way to clean up wayward branches and not lose the flowers!
Really enjoying your videos! Many thanks from the UK.
Thanks for watching!
Your yard is beautiful. Thank you for the tour. Also I appreciate you providing the names of the plants and shrubs you talk about.
I'm trying to add them as much as I can
Im always in awe of how quickly my gardens change. This time of year its daily. Im also in 5b/6a coastal southern maine..winter was really odd this year. I have a celery plant that overwintered! My fall mums from my favorite nursery overwintered. I seem to have lost a few echinacea .. which is weird.. although they could still come up.. lost a wigelia, a baptista and pretty sure my butterfly bush is dead. I always loose a few.. but these few suprised me. Oh I also FINALLY overwintered heather! One of my favorites that I usually by as an annual.. they just dont like our winter. I have a bunch of columbine that has spread, my Mondara is growing like gang busters.. I was actually pulling creeping Jenny and didn’t recognize the mondara in places I found it coming up.. so exciting!! I may have even pulled some with the creeping Jenny (DONT plant this 😂) Hummingbirds love it! Your gardens are stunning! I just love everything about them! Look forward to seeing it grow thru the season! Happy Gardening!
It is amazing how some years we lose things that make no sense
The rabbits decimated all of my spirea. My largest one too. Your garden is at the same stage as mine. Exciting times
Those boogers
So that’s who’s been (probably) eating my lilacs! They just never seem to fill. We went and bought that deer spray you talked about in one of your videos and the sprayer that can be carried on our back (well, my wife’s back; my back still isn’t healed from a T12/L3 compression fracture in Feb.), We’re having a chicken wire fence built next week because I’m so frustrated with our little “visitors” using our garden as an “all you can eat Atlantic City buffet - David Rose”!
haha! I'm glad you are trying the spray. It may be the worst thing I have ever smelled but it seems to be working
The edging really looks great guys!
I use brick under my fence, it works holding back the grass. Unfortunately, it will not hold back aggressive root systems, such as, raspberry bushes(my particular yearly battle) or most ground covers.
I hope the deer leave your Philadelphus alone so you can smell the glorious scent. You'll love it!
Oh they better. I think the brick method is going to be the plan
Very exciting seeing everything coming in, it's going to be beautiful!! I have a Mock Orange that was here when we moved in and the flowers smell amazing enjoy!
I am so excited to see ours bloom
Another great tour! Thanks
Thanks!
I wish I could share the potted plants I just named in honor of your channel! You both have taught me so much! Maybe I will try and message them to you!
That's so cool!
Wish you would allow a on site tour of your property ! 😊
We participate in the Garden Conservancy Open Days
Thanks! I love your videos 🌸💖🌸
Glad you like them!
Your so good at doing everything,love watching you both ,from Scotland so feel your pain with garden wake but looks like we’re ahead of you 🥰
It's so exciting
Wow, your garden spaces are awakening. Everything will be beautiful. I enjoy all the helpful hints. Thanks for sharing.
That's wonderful to hear
Looking forward to seeing those expanded beds getting filled up.
You asked about a solution to keep neighbors' grass from growing under the fence. I was just looking at Edge Right website for Cor-Ten metal edging for MY yard. The 4' sections come in 6" and 8" depths. Serious teeth on that product. 😁
That sounds ideal. I'm not sure how aggressive we are ready to be, but having all the options is great
Lovin the garden expansion plans!
Thanks!
It really is an exciting time of year!!! Don't get me started on neighbors yuck creeping over!!!
hahaha
Hi
It’s great to see so many plants waking up. Christopher- you mentioned you’d love to have a pink Black Eyed Susan, I’ve just purchased two Thunbergia Rose Sensation to grow up some trellis in my garden. I hope you manage to get one ( r more as one plant is never enough 😂)
ooh where did you find them?!
I’m in the UK so maybe easier to get here?
maybe. I found some on Etsy but they were a bit pricey for my liking. They grow so easily from seed, I'll keep looking
One video from y’all and now I can’t get any of my evening chores done bc I have to go back and look at y’all old videos🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️I love you guys! Can’t wait to see the hydrangeas!!!!
haha welcome aboard!
#1 happy anniversary.
#2 yes to removing more turf
#3 love all the interesting shrubs you are exploring!
#4 Stay real!
That’s the goal!
you guys are great
Thanks!
I’d love to know how you root your hydrangea cuttings. I’d love to try that.
When Eric was pruning the hydrangeas he saw some branches had been pinned down to the ground. They had set roots...so we potted them up and put them under the grow lights.
I have a question. Do you find rabbits eat your roses year round? I am just getting into roses since last spring and I have chicken wire around all of them. Will there be a day where my garden can look nice with no wire? Lol or am I at the mercy of those monsters?
Oh they are always annoying. For roses I find the spring the worst time though. We have a big roll of black chicken wire to start wrapping with. The black makes it much less noticeable
I have the exact same issue. I planted most of my roses in the same area and surrounded them with a small black fence. They can’t jump it.
@growformegardening thanks! Those buggers also ate half of one of my korean lilacs this winter too! Now I have to fence that off! Grr
My rabbits ignore my roses because they have a buffet of tulips, hosta and heuchera 😂. Oh and they chewed hydrangea and rose of sharon baby seedlings right to the ground and killed them over the winter 😢.
Jerks!
How about some Peach Drift Roses in the newly expanded area along the back? They get 1 1/2' h x 2' w 😁
I do love a peach rose. It will have to be a consideration
How do you remember all of the plant names?! I also really appreciate you listing names on the screen 😊
haha It takes time!
It will be fun to see how your garden progresses! I am not proud of my answer to the question of the day; grass under your fence; it was a combination of a trimmer and round up. I would kill an area ( slim strip) under the fence. This was in Illinois. I now live in NY where we only have decorative fence ( very little amount of fencing) and invisible mot necessary.
I'm not opposed! We have a bunch of bricks that we are stuffing up against the fence. At least it will hold it back until the hydrangeas shade them
Remind me what the stick/pocker is in your garden to deter deer and rabbits. You mentioned it before and I can’t find it. Thanks
Wireless Deer Fence
Is a fence to keep the deer out on the agenda or is that not allowed due to HOA or other regulations? Love watching your space grow.
We have considered it... but it would be very expensive and a LOT of plants to move
You need a border of tree peonies
If I try to add one more peony he’s going to kick my butt
@@growformegardening apologize later hehe
I like how you think
When did take your cutting? Did you put a dome for humidity on your cutting with artificial lights?
When Eric was pruning the hydrangeas he saw some branches had been pinned down to the ground. They had set roots...so we potted them up and put them under the grow lights. No humidity dome, just let them wake up as they like.
I'm thinking about a Kintzley's ghost. Do you love it? Would it do well on a tall obelisk?
It would do very well on an obelisk. It’s a very unique color.
💙👍🏻💙
