    I totally agree with Laura's desire to expand the garden beyond the strip at the fence. At our New Orleans house,, my husband looked at the backyard and asked, "Didn't we use to have grass back here?" I had planted a courtyard garden and, instead of grass, had a small ciircle of pine straw mulch for lawn chairs. Everything else was planted with roses, a lemon tree, some Japanese maples azaleas, etc. He hadn't noticed because he was plugged into his computer and music system.

    @PLuMUK54 3 роки тому +3

    I love your garden! It is so nice to see a garden that would not look out of place here in England.
    Hostas are so much more forgiving than people realise. A few years ago I decided my over large self seeded sycamore (basically a weed here) had to go. The tree surgeons worked in December, and trampled the area of my hostas to a similar consistency to concrete. Despite this, the hostas sent up shoots in the spring and put on their best show that year, despite having lost their shade.
    This year has been rather "moist" even for England, and they have produced the biggest leaves ever. They grow through a dense ground cover of geranium which shades their roots and prevents drying out and slug attacks.

      I have a hosta garden in a strip on the north side of my garage with crushed rock path adjacent to it.
      I enjoy playing off the myriad of hosta leaf colors and textures and punctuating with other perennials and annuals. I love the look of 'Sweet Tea' heucherella nestled with the bold 'Guacamole' hosta (or is it 'Stained Glass'?), finely textured rue anemone and begonias. But thistles keep ruining the show. Ugh!
      I planted 'Empress Wu' a couple years ago. It's taking it's sweet time getting as big as the tag shows, but then Laura advised us they grow in relation to the amount of water they get and my hose doesn't really make it to that end of my garden.

Live in Illinois, along the border of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri, zone 6b. The Mississippi River borders our town flanked by rock cliffs. We have horrible humidity. Anyway, you look fresh, cool and put together even wearing 3/4 sleeves, jeans and sometimes a vest. I would keel over from heat exhausttion! Admire your energy, knowledge, preserverance, follow ups and inspiration. Thank you for making it look so easy, but I in fact know that it is darn hard work and you are remarkable!!

      Could be why they purchased the new property as a buffer from encroaching neighbors.

      They were new to me this year, too. I was looking for tough, colourful foliage, evergreen if possible, shade plants and came across Bergenia in my research. Miss Piggy is nice but personally I prefer the colours of the variety I believe is called Winter Glow (although I have not planted these myself yet).
      I also found a shade loving foliage plant called Mukdenia (there’s a nice one called “crimson fans” I believe) and Mukgenia which is a cross between a Mukdenia and a Bergenia, eg Mukgenia Nova Flame.
      I’m in Canada (not sure where you are) so this website may not ship to you but just as a research tool to find unusual plants, I’ve been using a site called Phoenix Perennials. He sources rarer plants. Never ordered from him so can’t attest to quality (plants seem expensive for the size) but it sure was a useful resource to find new plants I had never thought of before. Happy planting!!! 🌱

      @@persephonespomegranate I am on BC. I do pre-orders of hydrangea from Phoenix Perennials, to get the variety I want. This year they were smaller, but all Proven winners in the white pots. Not potbound, just healthy. Last year I also bought a few peonies there as well.

      Another name for it is "Pig Squeak." Rubbing the leaves together does produce a squeaking sound. 🐷
      Mine has spread quite a bit. I thinned it out several years ago and left some pieces sitting on some dirt-filled gravel and that is thriving. I need to divide it again.
      I've always heard the pronunciation as "Brrr ghee na" (like the clarified butter) not "gee" as Laura says. 😊

    You are NOT the only one who sturggles with "packing it it" , but I always feel the method to this madness is MORE PLANTS. For example I have a shade border full of hydrangea and hosta and fern and this year a section of it has REALLY started to burst the seams: so now this Autumn I know I get to dig the hosta, divide and spread it down the border to make That bit more full. Hurrah, that is a fun Autumn chore.
    I'm a penny pincher too, so I pack a small area full allowing the plot next to it to be sparse KNOWING it will get the benefits of the over packed area when I dig and divide :) It's like 'shopping at your own garden centre' when they finally overfill the area ;)
    Another fun planting day with you :)

    I’m watching Laura run the drip irrigation, which I worked on this morning, and it’s not so easy for my 67 year old hands. I’m going to invest in a tool to insert the emitters. Warming the tubing with a lighter, helps, but….. Note to self, tubing is probably more pliable and easier to insert when Laura’s temps are 100+, compared to my 65 degree northern Michigan morning.

    Question could you do a video on recognizing what “bug” problem is causing damage and what can be used ? I have a hard time identifying what insect even when I see it ; what kind it is and then what’s best to use. Even bugs you don’t deal with but a lot of gardeners do? Your brain seems a vast knowledge well and I trust you to know! Also I miss your decorating videos like you did when doing a red; white and blue set up in the gazebo. Ones like that also!
