Watching in early April 2022. Always inspiring! I am at a new home this year, well it was built in 1920 so, new to me 🤗! I'm enjoying seeing what is coming up this first spring here. 🌷🌺🌻😁
It helps me to know things are "a bit messy" for you too at times. I get so overwhelmed but I love it! I am a widow and must do all the heavy work myself. It keeps me going that is for sure! You are my inspiration.🤗
Have you heard the ole wise tale , if someone gives you a plant dont say thank you? It won't grow. I just remembered that lol. I love peonys I have pink , white and scarlet. They are beautiful even if they dont last long.
I meant to comment on this video when you first posted it but it slipped my mind. It's amazing to see the difference between now and the previous flood video...wow! I also wanted to mention that I shouldn't think you would have any problems with that pussy willow and the very wet conditions you have there. They seem to thrive in quite moist conditions and grow wild in the roadside ditches around here. Gardening is still quite a ways off for me as the snow is only just starting to go down a bit but I'm beginning to see small pockets of bare ground in sheltered places. Soon...soon...sigh.
Hi Jeri. Hope its warming up in your neck of woods. I know this is an older video, but I do love the whole birthing of spring. So magical. Im a little envious of all your stacking stones. they are not found easily in Western half of Kentucky (near Paducah). I have a question. How do you deal with so many of precious seedlings that get crowded by mid feb with all the dead nettles and such. Sometimes I go to pulling all the lamium or dead nettle and its look alike and sometimes accidently pull plants that are so small to notice. I dont dare put down any weed suppressant such as cornmeal because I want my seedlings to pop up. I mulch usually at the mid- summer spring time, and not after seeds have dropped. sorry this is long.
I hate dealing with those pesky little weed seedlings. Generally, I wait till they are a couple inches tall so that I can get a good hold on them to pull out by the roots. It's a hassle to weed by hand, inch by inch, in order to save the "good stuff". but it's the only way I can think of in a crowded garden bed where the weeds are competing with the flowers.
Another interesting video that has me riveted!! You are far superior garden designer & gardener than I but I thought you may like to exchange some tips, as we live on opposite sides of the pond, so to spk. Question: I completely understand your enjoyment at cultivating & propogating seeds and the joy is obviously brings you. It's a huge hobby of mine too. I notice you do this with Larkspur too. Have you ever grown Delphiniums?? They are a close relation of Larkspur and looks almost identical but Delphiniums are Perennials. The flowers, particularly the blue ones and white ones are more densely populated on the stalk, so you don't tend to see gaps through the flower blooms. They need to be staked but I tend to use natural stakes made from dried Hosta flower reeds or even dried Allium stalks (You may need to secure several end to end for the really tall Delphiniums) They produce seed pods, which they will self disperse when dried or you can collect them beforehand and choose where the next additional plants go next year. They never fail to bring me great joy each year and you never see an English cottage garden without them. 💜
Jaylyn Oh how the Delphiniums struggle in our humidity and heat! For years I've tried to grow them and thought that I'd finally had some success with 4 young plants this Spring, but alas, they never made it past 10" tall. We grow the Larkspur in TN and Ky, as a poor substitute for the stunning Delphinium. I'm stubborn though, and I will persist until I can have a patch. I may try them in a shade garden next time....
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Ohh of course, I keep forgetting the difference in climate. You're much closer to the equator than us, so the heat & humidity must be much higher! We get a lot of rain and hot summers plus more rain usually at night in the summer months. I humbly apologise Jeri. Like I said earlier, you are a far, far superior gardener than I am, I just got a bit carried away & thought I'd exchange some ideas with you. I really hope I haven't offended you or come across as patronising or even condescending! I'd be horrified if that were the case and I am truly, truly sorry Jeri. ❤️🙏 💐xx
@@jaylyn7285 Heavens no, I'm happy to have any and all advice from fellow gardeners. Please don't apologize, you didn't do anything wrong, I love to exchange ideas with everyone. I really want to make Delphiniums grow here and will give it another go.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Thank you Jeri.😊♥️ Yes, do give the Delphiniums another go. You're extremely talented and I'm certain you will come up with an ideal solution. I wish you the luck of the Irish in your endeavour. 🍀🌹🍀
I just dearly love the garden inspiration you give me! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden ... especially during the beginning stages. It gives me such hope!! I have missed your garden videos so much. I look forward to seeing all the transition stages! And then the transformation that finally appears! It is sheer delight! Thanks so much, Jeri!
Thanks Kimberly, Sometimes we need to see a garden when it looks so barren and naked. I love before and afters and am often surprised at how quickly things change in such a short time. I'll be working on that Cutting garden next time and hope it will inspire you to plant a nice variety of hardy annual seeds, perennial, roses and bi-enniels. Also, the tulips have started to bloom, must film that!
Since you have mentioned seeds in a few of your videos from the past, i sowed some seeds just recently. I am so looking forward to seeing if they come up. I feel so blessed that i “stumbled” upon your channel! Thank you for taking the time to share with us. ♥️🌸🦋🌺😁🌻♥️
What a great idea with the wire hanging basket form on the porch, I never thought to do that with mine, but now I surely will (filling them with bits and bobs). Cannot wait to see your gardens in full bloom. I like the wire mesh cloches over the brassicas, too. Two years ago, I planted some red tulips on the side of the shed but the squirrels dug them up and moved them elsewhere (no idea where). I've replanted some pink and white ones in their stead and am hoping they will make an appearance this year.
I'm terrible with hanging baskets, so I gave the wire container an alternative use. Those sneaky little squirrels may have a tulip garden up in the branches!
What are those plants cover called? Could you tell me what they are called I’m watching your show and thought you were British. So wish my flowers would grow. Third time my hollyhock haven’t grown. Even had grown small but I guess they didn’t work either And does catmint work around a tree when it dark under the tree?
Cat mint likes the sun, but does okay in partial shade. The plant covers are wastbaskets turned upside down and wire Hanging Baskets turned upside down.
Love seeing the beginning each year. I say the freshness and strength of the first ones up- they deserve celebration for all the relief of winter and excitement of spring that they provide. SO much beauty just in this. Thanks so much. 👌🌷🔆🌿👏
Walking thru your gardens is never boring.....a cup of coffee and watching you describe your beds just is so relaxing and very inspirational....do you plant irises? I have a purple garden with regular and Japanese iris, blue ground geraniums and then I add pots of chartreuse potato vines......my favorite flower bed.
Carrie, yes indeed I plant Iris! They remind me of our neighbors yard when I was a child, the scent of spice. That is a very interesting combination with the Potato vines... it may work well with Bells of Ireland... about the same color.
Great video...an empty garden is a garden full of possibilities... I love your white daffodils, we have only been on our country property for three years which was very neglected. Last fall I planted tulips, and this fall I am adding daffodils... And I now know I want the white ones, they are so beautiful! I am adding Potager gardens this spring as well... I can't wait for the snow to be gone.... Dale from Canada
I just found your channel and I am so excited to watch the rest of your videos! I am sooo ready to start working in my flower beds! I live in upstate South Carolina and it is starting to warm up but we are still having frost so I am holding off on planting annuals right now. Your gardens are a dream!! Now I’m off to binge watch your videos!
I'm about to do a video on Hardy Annuals that actually like the colder weather (to get a head start). You may be able to plant them sooner that you think. So happy to have you here in Hopalong Hollow.
I love your comment everything waking up.. spring is a beautiful time of regeneration for everything. Thank you for sharing your spring garden waking up.
Jerri, I have planted alum for years, never had any to come up. I`ve planted deep like the package says and shallow, never any luck. I am in zone 8. What am I doing wrong Jerri ?
Such a lovely video 😊 thank you for taking us around your gardens 🙋the spring bulbs are lovely & it will be great to see your Summer Gardens xxxshaz 🌱🌷🌸🌱🌼🌱
So nice to see your garden springing to life. Mine is still under a foot and a half of snow. Such a shame about the bulbs that rotted out. Take care -Marcie
Everything looks just lovely! It’s nice to see the structure & bones of the garden this time of year! Thanks for sharing...I look forward to seeing the cutting garden video😃
Hello Jeri, You really have a wide range of talents with filming and narratives as well. I am always delighted to see your videos. You have built such a beautiful homestead 💖 very inspiring ☺️💗💕💜❤️💖👍 As always, thank you for sharing, take care and God Bless, Chris-Raleigh NC
just love your cottage garden my back garden is more tropical but my little front garden is in the cottage style, i love holyhocks but i always suffer with rust on them do you suffer with the same problem?
Many, I bet the Cottage garden is a lot more carefree? Yes, I do get the rust on my Hollyhocks, It must be the rain, it happens every year, but not so badly on the Dwarf Zebrina Hollyhock
Wow! we have so many of the same things coming up at the same time and we're a world apart as to miles. Love it. Adore the stone wall too. Is that stream part of your property. It is so lovely. Yep, we too have had a huge amount of rain in the last two weeks and horrendous gusty wind and gales. We got off lightly though as far as the damage goes. Your garden is full of promise.
So good to hear your garden is right on schedule too. Yes, that stream runs all along our property and we dragged those stones from everywhere to build that wall. It gets a little taller every year!
Good Morning Jeri Love seeing your sweet cottage gardens* how fun that you already have flowers* I can't wait to see flowers starting in my garden* deezie
It is so Beautiful to see when the garden starts to wake up isn't it? 😊🌷 Have a Wonderful Spring Jeri looking out for the fruits of your labor. Thank you for bringing us along!😉
My problem is the free range chickens. When I sow seed in an open garden, I cover them with light netting until they germinate. Also, sow poppy and larkspur seed in the winter.
Lovely! I still have tons of snow and cold but by the end of April hopefully it will look like that! We have very short Springs here so enjoying seeing what you have going on - gives me hope!
Thank you for another beautiful video of your artistry! My gardens are not as beautiful as yours but I have faith that as the years go by they will get better and better! Your pansies are pretty. Have you ever planted the Johnny Jump Ups? They are tiny pansies and they self seed and come back year after year. I love 'em! Your tulips are looking good. The squirrels have done a number on my tulips but the squirrels are so much fun to watch that I can't begrudge them a few flowers. The tulips that are left were planted 5 years ago. And I have loads of jonquils and hyacinths that were planted at the same time as the tulips. I strew bone and blood meal over my bulb gardens a couple times each year and they are doing beautifully! I'll sow larkspurs and poppies this week. Have you ever seen the BLACK pussie willow? I have seen them at the wholesale flower market and have tried to root them. They are not as easy to propagate by cuttings as the giant pussy willow. I have actually rooted some of the fantail pussy willow and am looking forward to watching it grow. Thanks again! Love your site...
Randy, I bet your gardens are just as nice as mine. I do love those Johnny Jump ups, anything in the pansy family makes me smile! You can never have too many narcissus and hyacinths, they just keep on giving. Never saw a black pussywillow, but it sounds intriguing. I hope your poppies and larkspur do as well as mine are doing!
I just found your utube channel and have been binge watching from the beginning. I love your videos. I do have a curious question for you. Why do you never look at the camera once in awhile. It’s so much easier to relate to someone when they speak to you even if it’s only for a quick hello. Thank you for your inspirations. Love them all ❤️
Hi Hilary, thank you for watching the videos. I wondered when someone would ask me that question, a bit camera shy is the partial answer. Also, I film the vids as I'm walking around and only recently acquired a good tripod that could be left in place as I record. Maybe I'll pop in sometime, although I dislike being on film.
I totally understand. I’m not loving having a picture of me floating around. But you are so beautiful you need not be shy to just pop in once in awhile 😃
Hah! You got me, yes, those are wastebaskets from the dollar tree, $1 a piece. The fence is a barricade to keep my dogs and chickens out of that garden. It is cattle panel with twigs woven in between the metal.
I ordered the plants in December to be shipped at the proper planting time for our area. I did the same last year, planted roots in March and they bloomed in May; I think it depends on your zone..unless I just got lucky!
Jealous of your alliums. I spent a fair amount last year on buying a diverse range of allium bulbs but to no avail; none came up. Apparently they need a bit of cold and frost which we don't get here in Metung, Australia. I wish the Nursery where I bought them had informed me but I realise the buyer has to do their own research. Why it is always the thing you want is the one thing fails. Thankfully there are a lot of other things.
Flower, Wow, so sorry about those bulbs. I'm surprised the garden center sold them in your area, they usually are pretty good about informing the buyer about growing conditions. It's so true, we often want to plant the very thing that fails in our area. It took me years to get my lavender plants to survive our humidity and rain, and I still lose a few of them every year; But I just plant some more, despite that.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Yes, I was surprised as alliums were bought from a very good nursery where I have purchased a fair amount of plants. On the subject of lavender, when we lived on Magnetic Island and Townsville (Nth Qld) I quickly found out that lavender was a no-no but rosemary was excellent. I very much like R. Tuscan Blue for its straight structure. Here in Metung I thought I had a perfect spot (on paper it is!) for lavender so I planted 30 L. Grosso 3 rows of 10 - failure! I then replanted 30 but again failure (I have a few sorry tiny speciments which survived).
@@flowerfairy1950 If we only had a dollar for every plant that has failed us...( I used to say "every plant that I killed", but it's really the other way around) Funny you should mention Rosemary, I Never have any success with them, unless I plant from seed.
Everything is so pretty, I love seeing everything coming to life! We still have three feet of snow around our house and the gardens are covered in snow.

Now 22.31 pm in indonesia see ur video before im sleep.
That's nice!
Did I hear spring peeper frogs in the background? That is one of my favorite sounds in nature!
YES!

So very pretty...❤️
Thank you Jeri for sharing the wonder of your garden in March. It's so exciting, anticipating all that beauty to come into bloom.
I loved this and seeing it again. Thank You Jeri so much for your faithfulness. Stay healthy and stay strong. Blessings!!!
Lovely little blue or purple muscari.

That was a lovely walk through your gardens! It is so exciting to see what spring will bring!🤗💐
Whatever we lose in the garden God gives us something new.
Soooo you don't get snow in your area?
What planting zone are you in?
We do get snow and freezing rain, indeed we do!
Thank you for sharing your tour through the garden enjoy it.
Martha, Wish it could have been more colorful, but it soon will be full of pinks, purples and blues.
Thank you for sharing. I always walk away with something new. You truly have a magical garden.
Happy to know I can impart something new to inspire a fellow garden lover!
Those metal hanging baskets on your porch are lovely!
I picked those up a country fair one year, my problem is that I'm terrible with potted plants.
Absolutely lovely!!!
Thank you for taking the time to watch, I know it was a long video... that's why I had to stop before I covered the other 4 gardens.

Love, love seeing your garden......glorious spring....so much beauty to look forward to....Happy Spring
Even the animals are excited to feel Spring in the air, I think we all love it.
I never tire of seeing your garden. It has great structure and lots of interesting things to see.
When you have those garden elements to look at in the dead of winter, it makes the lack of gardening more bearable. Structure is so important.
Jerri, I have planted alum for years, never had any to come up. I`ve planted deep like the package says and shallow, never any luck. I am in zone 8. What am I doing wrong Jerri ?
Try Drumstick Allium and only plant about 2" deep. Cover the ground with chicken wire... maybe the squirrels are digging them up?
Such a lovely video 😊 thank you for taking us around your gardens 🙋the spring bulbs are lovely & it will be great to see your Summer Gardens xxxshaz 🌱🌷🌸🌱🌼🌱
Thanks for walking along with me, I do wish I had more color to show... I'll give it a week or two.
Exciting 🌸🌹🌺🌻🌼
which poppies are easiest to grow? Do u plant these in fall?
Shirley poppies grow great, sow in the fall or on a warm winter day.
So nice to see your garden springing to life. Mine is still under a foot and a half of snow. Such a shame about the bulbs that rotted out. Take care -Marcie
Marcie, It was weird to have so many missing bulbs. I just wonder what surprises await you beneath that snow....
In what state and zone do you garden?
East Tennessee here!
I love to see the gardens when things are just emerging and am looking forward to seeing it as it progresses😊🌷😊
Jean, it's amazing how quickly everything revives,:it seems like the plants have grown 5" since I posted this video!
Good morning Jeri! I just put in a few peonies! They are so gorgeous!
Oh Those Peonies, they can live up to 50 years! That's what I call a good investment.
Thank you for this wonderful garden tour. I look forward to seeing your Spring garden showing off it's cheery color's.
Hi Wanda, We Had a few pink blooms open today, sweet!

So good to hear your garden is right on schedule too. Yes, that stream runs all along our property and we dragged those stones from everywhere to build that wall. It gets a little taller every year!
I'm so excited to see your garden... spring is my favorite time when all is new!♡♡♡
Pam, Spring and Autumn... I can never decide which is more lovely.
Seeing your garden gives me hope! Love the pussywillow bush! Thanks for sharing. 💗🌷💗
Linda, Where there's a touch of green, there is hope!
This is just so lovely, it just warms my heart and is such an inspiration! 😋
Good Morning Jeri
Love seeing your sweet cottage gardens* how fun that you already have flowers* I can't wait to see flowers starting in my garden*
deezie
Deezie, Hope your blooms will appear soon!
It is so Beautiful to see when the garden starts to wake up isn't it? 😊🌷 Have a Wonderful Spring Jeri looking out for the fruits of your labor. Thank you for bringing us along!😉
It"s a search and find mission; always a surprise when you see that your plants actually returned from last year!
you are so lucky that the birds don't gobble up your seeds, i have tried poppy, and other seeds directly and I get nothing.
My problem is the free range chickens. When I sow seed in an open garden, I cover them with light netting until they germinate. Also, sow poppy and larkspur seed in the winter.
Very beautiful !!! 🌻🌹🥀🌷⚘🌻🐞🐝 Love your channel, new friend, subbie and big supporter of your channel. 😍
Hey Gabby, Three Cheers for that and thank you! I hope you will visit often....
Lovely! I still have tons of snow and cold but by the end of April hopefully it will look like that! We have very short Springs here so enjoying seeing what you have going on - gives me hope!
Cynthia, I really feel for you, that's such a long winter. I bet you can grow fabulous Delphiniums up there.
Thank you for another beautiful video of your artistry! My gardens are not as beautiful as yours but I have faith that as the years go by they will get better and better! Your pansies are pretty. Have you ever planted the Johnny Jump Ups? They are tiny pansies and they self seed and come back year after year. I love 'em! Your tulips are looking good. The squirrels have done a number on my tulips but the squirrels are so much fun to watch that I can't begrudge them a few flowers. The tulips that are left were planted 5 years ago. And I have loads of jonquils and hyacinths that were planted at the same time as the tulips. I strew bone and blood meal over my bulb gardens a couple times each year and they are doing beautifully! I'll sow larkspurs and poppies this week.
Have you ever seen the BLACK pussie willow? I have seen them at the wholesale flower market and have tried to root them. They are not as easy to propagate by cuttings as the giant pussy willow. I have actually rooted some of the fantail pussy willow and am looking forward to watching it grow. Thanks again! Love your site...
Randy, I bet your gardens are just as nice as mine. I do love those Johnny Jump ups, anything in the pansy family makes me smile! You can never have too many narcissus and hyacinths, they just keep on giving. Never saw a black pussywillow, but it sounds intriguing. I hope your poppies and larkspur do as well as mine are doing!
I just found your utube channel and have been binge watching from the beginning. I love your videos. I do have a curious question for you. Why do you never look at the camera once in awhile. It’s so much easier to relate to someone when they speak to you even if it’s only for a quick hello.
Thank you for your inspirations. Love them all ❤️
Hi Hilary, thank you for watching the videos. I wondered when someone would ask me that question, a bit camera shy is the partial answer. Also, I film the vids as I'm walking around and only recently acquired a good tripod that could be left in place as I record. Maybe I'll pop in sometime, although I dislike being on film.
I totally understand. I’m not loving having a picture of me floating around. But you are so beautiful you need not be shy to just pop in once in awhile 😃
@@TheHilary49 I'll try to...
OMG are those trash cans turned upside down to protect your plants?
Also can you tell us about your short fence where you have sticks placed in it?
Hah! You got me, yes, those are wastebaskets from the dollar tree, $1 a piece. The fence is a barricade to keep my dogs and chickens out of that garden. It is cattle panel with twigs woven in between the metal.
Loving your vids
Peonies need to be planted in fall...you may not get blooms if planted in spring
I ordered the plants in December to be shipped at the proper planting time for our area. I did the same last year, planted roots in March and they bloomed in May; I think it depends on your zone..unless I just got lucky!
Jealous of your alliums. I spent a fair amount last year on buying a diverse range of allium bulbs but to no avail; none came up. Apparently they need a bit of cold and frost which we don't get here in Metung, Australia. I wish the Nursery where I bought them had informed me but I realise the buyer has to do their own research. Why it is always the thing you want is the one thing fails. Thankfully there are a lot of other things.
Flower, Wow, so sorry about those bulbs. I'm surprised the garden center sold them in your area, they usually are pretty good about informing the buyer about growing conditions. It's so true, we often want to plant the very thing that fails in our area. It took me years to get my lavender plants to survive our humidity and rain, and I still lose a few of them every year; But I just plant some more, despite that.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Yes, I was surprised as alliums were bought from a very good nursery where I have purchased a fair amount of plants. On the subject of lavender, when we lived on Magnetic Island and Townsville (Nth Qld) I quickly found out that lavender was a no-no but rosemary was excellent. I very much like R. Tuscan Blue for its straight structure. Here in Metung I thought I had a perfect spot (on paper it is!) for lavender so I planted 30 L. Grosso 3 rows of 10 - failure! I then replanted 30 but again failure (I have a few sorry tiny speciments which survived).
@@flowerfairy1950 If we only had a dollar for every plant that has failed us...( I used to say "every plant that I killed", but it's really the other way around) Funny you should mention Rosemary, I Never have any success with them, unless I plant from seed.
Everything is so pretty, I love seeing everything coming to life! We still have three feet of snow around our house and the gardens are covered in snow.
Hi Abby, The consolation is all that great snowy wetness will seep into the earth with a single warm and sunny day! And then Wallah!, Instant garden.
