Really cool shade item! I can't wait to see final look of the entrance once you've stained! It will be so cool with the crystals too ⚾️
Same! I’m excited!
I think once it's cleaned up and you have plants growing you won't notice the things that are bugging you. Can't wait to see your shade garden come alive! So exciting.
I hope so!
Great job Amanda! I like the shade sail. I think it is going to bring shade to the area. Once you get all your plants out there I think you are going to love it.
I hope so!
She;s a mad gardener, but she's also a productive one! Great vid
Thanks!
Thats a challenging problem but i think youve solved it for now. As the season goes on, you'll get more ideas for adjustments. I always look to see how the garden centers solve their shade situations. Its still going to be a beautiful space!
Fingers crossed! I don’t love it but it should help for now.
Sometimes us girls just gotta go for it! You did that!! See how it works and go from there. I love what you're trying to accomplish!
I hope it works for the time being!
Narrow side yards are always challenging. You are doing great keep cleaning up the area and do more planting the sail will disappear
Thanks!
I appreciated the installation of a Shade cloth. I have needed this but had no idea where to start. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
I think what you said once everything starts growing you will like it more 😊
I hope so!
Good morning. I think that your hydrangea needs some removing of the old growth from last season. For me and this is just me, if I was collecting things for my gardens and yard I would not put them or just move them from one spot to another especially if it is in an area that I am making into a specific garden. It would only make it become a dumping area and then my specific garden then becomes abandoned. Thus losing all interest in the great scheme of things. When pruning hydrangeas you need to cut the branch down to the strongest buds, Cut off the wispy thin branches and any branch that is crossing over other branches. You need to make sure that there is no dead, diseased or broken branches as well.
Hi there! These hydrangeas blooms off of old wood … if I prune them now, they will not have any blooms this year. But I do use that technique you described on my limelight hydrangeas as they bloom on new wood.
I don't think I could have done that by myself. You did a great job and I like the white
Aww thanks!
Never thought about making s shade garden. Om in zone 8b Florida with no shade. I'm going to look into this.
Make sure you pull tight n have a place for the rain to run off the cloth.
Thanks! The cloth is permeable so the rain passes right through it.
Hi Amanda. What about making the poles shorter, adding at least two more sets in the middle and attaching hoops to the poles to make more of a tunnel affect? I know what it is like when you are trying to achieve something and it does not work out. I have all the confidence in you solving the problem
I definitely think additional poles would help a bunch.
thanks for trying new things
My pleasure 😊
Amanda, your content is very helpful to me and my Dallas garden.
Aww thanks!
Yes the zip tie! or you could gather and secure with binder clips to tighten it up. You could hang some fringe or beads from the edges. It looks great to me .
I love some sparkle!
Good job Amanda!! Looks great!!! I may try that for an area in my garden! Thanks!! Blessings! 💙💙🦋🦋🙏🙏
Please do!
Maybe you can use those things you put behind that big container as the top
Maybe!
I think zip ties are the BEST tool to use for any project! Great job!
Totally agree! They are my go to!
I live in St Louis and I also use a large shade sail over my patio. If you get a lot of wind you want to make it as tight as possible. I have found that I need to use a smaller size than the size of the actual patio. Then you can straighten it with the ropes.
Oh, that a great tip on the size! Thanks!
Hmm😮- I will research this for my Pollinating Garden 30 x 9 & last Summer we were struggling…
Thanks for all the hard work. It helps me and I can go behind you as you garden. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Good idea. It will be interesting to see how it works out 😊
Fingers crossed!
Great job!
Thanks!
I have a shade sail that I purchased from Amazon that I use to cover part of my pool and it does sag a bit but it provides shade and the water underneath it the sail is much cooler 🤷♀️ and it does let the rain through 👍
That's a great!
I have a 9’x16’ deck on the E/SE side of my house, and I think about doing one of these every year!
Awesome!
I appreciate your resourcefulness. Try it; if it doesn't work; try something different.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your shade plants and yourself are going to love the sun ☀️ protection. On Amazon they sell them by (w x l) in one continuous piece. From experience a darker color really makes a difference. I’d recommend slanting, so it’s slightly lower on fence side away from the house so rain ☔️ runs down easier. Even though they are permeable a heavy rain will pool and buckle your structure with the weight. Maybe slightly heavier duty wood attached to your street side fence.
Oh that’s all good info! I’ll go look it up on Amazon, thanks! Your seeds shipped out earlier this week!
Great job. Like it.
Thanks!
Old branches make it hard for the hydrangeas to grow well and bloom well.
These bloom off old wood
I think its great
Thanks!
My thoughts on the shade structure is you made it look easy. 😅
Well then I did well on the video editing because I was out of breath and sweating by the end!
I’m probably over simplifying it but could you not just plant some vines on trellises (cattle panel is pretty affordable) to cast some natural shade over everything else. Or put a narrow columnar tree with a nice canopy that’ll naturally add shade in a couple of years?
I definitely think those are good ideas … they are just too permanent for me right now. This garden is so new that I want to see how it doesn’t before I create too many permanent structure.
I think you did a great job. I like the light color. A darker color shade might have made it too cave like.
I think so too!
Where did you get your hellebore plants from? I haven’t ever seen any in the places I’ve been to in my area around McKinney. Did you order them online or buy locally?
I go those from North Haven Gardens
Did you buy your Bashful Betty from Creekside Nursery?
I did not! A friend gave it to me!
What if you get two cute umbrellas🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, I think they would fly away in our winds.
If you shorten the rope will it tighten the shade sail
I’ve got it as tight as it can go.
What kind of mulch do you use? Where do you purchase it? Also, if you know, can the same mulch be used around the tomatoes and peppers? I have a large flower garden area -all containers and a smaller edible garden- raised planters.
The mulch is a cypress mulch … its natural color and does not contain any dyes.
How do you like your shade sail I used the shade tarp from harbour freight it has lasted me 3 seasons so far
Jury is still out on it but I’ll update in a few weeks!
Don’t cut your hydrangea stems you can see the buds from Canada haha love your shade garden area and all your collections lm the same metal head boards ,etc. l’m so jealous of your nice gardening zone to ,regards from cold and damp Canada Cathy zone 5🥶!,
I just cut off the 2 dead blooms, I left everything else.
@@shesamadgardener l wasn’t criticizing you l hope l didn’t offend you ,l think you’re an amazing gardener and you have sure have given me some helpful tips and Thanks !
I think the light color will start to disappear once you're out there every day.
I remember you put shade cloth over your raised beds one summer. Is that a useful product for over the shade garden? How intrusive is that to look at each day?
Funny, you want shade and I want sun.😁
I did put those shade cloths over the raised beds a few years ago … it was very stretchy and stretched more the hotter it got. But it’s a thought for the shade garden 🤔
Aesthetically it might look better if it were that medium dark green color. I think it’s mostly the color that doesn’t feel like a green space.
I’m thinking darker might better too … I want it to feel more secretive and to me that means darker.
