- Erin's mom's homemade deer repellent:
5 eggs
1 tablespoon powered red cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon black pepper
Put all ingredients into a jug and add water to make 1 gallon. You can add a drop or two of dish soap to act as a surfactant, although my mom usually skips this. Original recipe says to further dilute the mixture with 4 parts water to every 1 part egg mixture, but my mom usually does half that. Shake it up very well before use. She punches holes in a spare lid (usually she uses an old laundry soap jug) and shakes it onto plants but you can also use a watering can.

Holy cow, it's easy to see where you obtained your passion and skills for gardening. Well done Erin's mother!
Thank you so much for showing us your mom’s gardens. So beautiful. I understand now where you get your passion for plants. We try to equal our mom’s beds but somehow she win at every turn. 😂 So many years of experience. Tell your mother that we simply love what she is doing in the garden.
That lake view is spectacular! I hope your mom enjoys some time on a lawn chair admiring the views. That’s a huge garden for one person. Truly beautiful.
Wow, Erin, your parent's gardens are extremely gorgeous and so well maintained. You must have been inspired by your mom's love of gardening. You must be your mother's twin when it comes to surrounding your property with beautiful plants. Please tell your parents that we thank them for allowing you to share a glimpse of their lovely property with us. ~Margie
Hello,
how are you doing?
Wow. What a wonderful piece of property and beautiful gardens. I don’t know how old your Mom is but I am encouraged to think that I can keep on building gardens even though I am in my 60’s. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful garden. Kudos to your Mom! I do everything in my garden too and I love every minute of it. It’s where I lose myself. That’s the beauty of gardening.
Erin, thank you and your parents for sharing this amazing inspiring garden space!
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your mom’s garden. Clearly, the apple 🍎 didn’t fall far from the tree. Would love another tour later in the summer.
Hello Kate..
How are you doing today?
What a beautiful, beautiful garden! I would sit out on the deck with my coffee every morning! Love it! What a great place to grow up!
Magnificent Spaces! I”m so envious of that gorgeous view!🤩
So, so lovely. My mom also believes in packing her flower beds to choke out weeds. Always a good plan!
Erin, thanks for taking us on a tour of your parent's garden. Always fun to visit new gardens and get ideas that fit our zone/sun/shade areas!
Thank you Erin for showing us such a beautiful garden!!! I can’t get over the lake Michigan view 😍😍😍
Such a beautiful garden, how sweet of your mom to let us see. I would love to see it again when other things are blooming.
A garden field trip! 👏👍👍
Holy Cow! What a view. I think I'd move back home for that alone. Seriously, I can see why you're so inspired. Thank you for sharing this labor of love!
So beautiful!!! I would like to see more of there garden as the seasons move forward. Tell your mom she’s awesome in tending to her yard beautiful!!
Wow Erin! Thank you for this tour of your parent's lovely garden! It's so beautiful! God bless your Mom for maintaining it all so beautifully! I envy that level of energy!😂
Yes! I for one would enjoy revisiting to see other plants in their glory! Enjoy the rest of your summer!!
😉🌻🐝🦋🌳🌞🙋♀️❣
Hello Linda...
How are you doing today?
She has gorgeous gardens and I bet her fall color is wonderful as well. It’s always fun to see other people’s gardens. Thanks you so very much for the tour. I really need a crabapple in my life. Lol. All the beautiful gardens I see has a crabapple or two. Hers is one of the prettiest. Take care and thanks again. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
Thank you for the tour of your mom's garden, gorgeous. I can't imagine how she maintains all that lushness.
Hello Diana..
How are you doing today?
WOW Your Mom's gardens are gorgeous!!!!!
Absolutely majestic! Next time include your mother because she's quite an amazing gardener! Thank you for so much inspiration. 🌿🌺🌿💐🌿🌹🌿🌻🌿
I did ask and the answer was a firm no but I'll see if she can be persuaded in the future.
@@TheImpatientGardener
Tell her she can wear a paper bag on her head! 😍 I know we would all enjoy seeing your interaction together. 😍 Or you can interview her while she's crouched down digging with her back to us. 😄 She's obviously a National treasure so do try to convince her! 🙏🌹🙏
👏👏👏Thanks, Mom! Your garden is lovely.😃🌸🌿
I love the mod architecture of this home.
Love all the gardens here - it's idyllic!!
Beautiful - thanks for sharing.
Yes please to another tour.
Really enjoyed seeing your parents garden....your mom is some lady to manage all that.
Loved seeing your parents garden. It's so nice to get videos this often
Gosh, I love your mom’s garden!!! It is just beautiful! I’d love to see it at various times of the year.
what a stunning garden ... one you could wander all day long !!! beautiful plants, trees, shrubs, etc. - thanks to your parent's and to you for sharing this beauty with us ... inspirational for sure !!
I'm gonna have to try you mom's deer repellent !!! I've also heard old milk/water mixture (or buttermilk) works to deter the deer as well ...
Oh. My. Goodness!!! I see where you get your talent from! Your mom is amazing, this garden is one of the best I've ever seen and I frequently read all the library books about the great gardens of the world. Unbelievable and stunning! I am like her, I do it all myself and PACK PACK PACK the plants in! :) It's the only way to go. Well done and THANK YOU for this tour!
Good morning Hobbit..
How are you doing today?
My goodness..yr Mom is really hard working n clever too..beautiful healthy plants..I enjoy yr video so much...
Yes, that fringe tree is beautiful as is everything else. Would love for you to give us another tour in the summer. Thank you for this one.
I can see where you get your Love of Gardening from. Beautiful Garden. I would love to see periodic Tours of her Garden.
Thanks for sharing your mom's garden with us. So beautiful and serene, especially the view of the water. Thanks mom.
She has some great layers in there and Even had me thinking about placement for plants in my own yard!
Hey Erin! Love this sharing of your parents garden. A tip for your mom on the turkeys (bc we have lots in our yard here in TN) they probably ARE after the worms but they also like to roll in "dust bowls" to keep the bugs/ticks off. So two things she can do, she can buy corn and black oil bird seed, they will eat anything really but if she puts it in a place well away from the garden they will most likely go for that first and just toss it about in or near the woods no piles needed and 2 - if she can put a large pile of sandy dirt or mulching near a tree base (again not near something she likes) they will use it to take their dust bathes. They really like my mulch around my fruit trees, I keep replacing that mulch but they stay out of my gardens! Hope this helps :)
OH ERIN....this was STUNNING!!! I see where you get your talent from. Please follow up this fall with another tour.
Omg amazing Garden and that view is spectacular, could sit and stare at that view all day was hoping you would show more of it. :)
Your moms garden is absolutely beautiful! Your mom should consider have an early turkey dinner. 😳 God bless
Erin!! OMG 😱I now see where your inspiration and passion comes from. First of all the setting right off the lake is storybook just a gorgeous backdrop.
What a treat sharing such a lovely garden and the architecture of the house is just spectacular. We can’t thank you enough.
Please DO NOT make this the last tour of your parents garden. 💚💚💚💯
Erin your parents garden is fantastic and the view is breathrakingly beautiful. Yes it would be wonderful to see it thro the seasons
Yes 👍🏻 definitely give an update tour as the season progresses. Such a peaceful area in spite of the road. Love the view of Lake Michigan. I need to look up the fringe tree to see if it takes part shade. You can never have too many hostas! ☺️
Wow Erin ,your mom’s garden is beautiful,she does what Claus does pack out your garden and leaves no room for weeds.What a great place to have grown up😊
Thank you for showing us your parents' garden! It's a lovely space and I can definitely see where you get some of your inspiration!
I’m in a zone 5 so I like to watch videos specific to my zone. Thanks for the tour.🌿🌿
What a beautiful space. Glad you added the drone shot of the water. So many marvelous plants.
Wow, you and your parents have an incredible amount of energy! What a gorgeous property, thanks for sharing.
Thank you and your Mom for sharing this lovely garden with so much inspiration, just like yours! I too love very close plant placement. Get to use many more plants and hardly any weeds. I have been gardening for over 40 years and am always ready to learn new things and enjoy others gardens. No worry with the hosta garden in the winter...it will be covered with snow.
Wow! Like mother, like daughter. Such a gorgeous location and amazing beds. Thank you for sharing.
Omg! Sooo, beautiful! Thank you, mom n dad!
Thank you for sharing your parents wonderful garden with the spectacular view. It was a real treat! 💜 Gives you so many ideas.
Thank you for sharing this video! What a wonderful display of plants trees and flowers ~. Kudos to your mom and dad for their thoughtfulness and creative design in their landscapes - well done ! It looks so inviting!
Love the swath of hakanechloa in the front of the house, and the bluff is just gorgeous! Beautiful garden! Love the message that gardens are always evolving and always a work in progress due to changing conditions, etc. :)
This was so fun to watch! Unfortunately I didn’t see the video until fall ….. which made me think of how wonderful it would be to see their garden in each season!
Wow, Wow, Wow!! I figured your mom’s garden would be a cute ‘little old lady’ garden. The expanse of it and such well thought out design of simplicity with pops of beauty is just amazing and inspiring. Those hostas! And that clever shade bed with pots and european ginger! Always love the videos of your garden so it was fun to see where your garden passion ‘germinated’ 😁
It's beautiful. I now know where you get your love of gardening and your green thumb from. Thanks to both you and your mom for sharing. Definitely interested in revisiting later.
That is just so darn beautiful! Makes me miss my home state of WI...and ohh that view of the lake!! Thanks so much for sharing Mom's beautiful gardens!!
Yes! Interested in more tours...perhaps slower, showcasing 1 or 2 beds to get the overall design features as well as individual plantings. Thank you!
I loved seeing your parents home and garden, so lush and pretty. I got my love of gardening from my Mom too, I really miss her - especially this time of year coming into spring.
So nice to see your parents' garden.
That pink shirt looks good on you!
I especially like the densely planted hosta garden - and the great big evergreens!
I'm sure Jumping Worms and Turkey Trouble is no laughing matter - but it sounds hilarious!!
The Asarum Europaeum is my favourite ground cover too.
I have a suggestion: how about planting those three pots up with some tall, lime green ferns - with the begonias around the edges?
I think it would look good with something tall against the wall.
Thanks to you and your parents for the tour!
Ingela, Sweden
Loved seeing your mum's garden. We see where you get your love of gardening! Thanks for sharing
I love this garden. I can’t wait to see updates!!
Hi Erin! Your parents have a beautiful place and view of the lake! Please thank them for letting you show it to us. I can see where you get your love for gardening and incentives from. I looked up "jumping worms" and what a big problem they cause. Oh my! Do you have them, too? I hope someone comes up with a way to permanently get rid of them. Yes, I'd like to see an update later on. Thank you so much for sharing!
Absolutely beautiful gardens..I could stay there all day. What an inspiration for conquering my shady areas. Thank you so much for sharing ❤ thanks to your Mom for allowing us a peak into this beautiful garden
Hello Stacey.
How are you doing today?
Lovely! I have watched this 3 times. I have loaded my beds too but one plant she is missing is the helibore, lenten rose. I got my first helibore 30 years ago and fell in love with it because it’s deer resistant and evergreen, shade loving, tough plant for New Jersey. I got my love of gardening from my Mother too. A Rutgers Master Gardener who kept gardening until she was 98.
Thank you. Your mom's garden is beautiful and very inspiring.
Hi K Turula...
How are you doing today?
What a wonderful treat! Love looking at other peoples gardens, but especially your moms, knowing where you received all your inspiration. ALWAYS FUN! Beautiful piece of property. I was excited to see her chairs at 11:55....we bought 2 of those from an estate sale, thought they were cool looking! :)
Thank you so much for sharing such an abundant garden. Though I don’t regret moving back to my home state of Colorado, seeing the lake, bluffs, and rich plantings does make me a bit nostalgic for the many years in Mequon, just a mile from the lake. (I’ll regain my sanity in January when our glorious sunshine takes away the snow in just a few hours!)
That view of the lake!!! Looks like an ocean.
Beautuful! I planted green giant arborvitae in my front yard 4 years ago when I moved in. Planted little trees to screen away the fire station across the street. Getting close to hiding it and creating a much better view.
Your parents garden is beautiful
Thank you for sharing your Mom’s (and Dad’s) garden. A lovely piece of heaven to enjoy. Please thank her for opening it to all of us. I can see where you get some of your inspiration.
Well, we know who you learned your love of gardening from…just beautiful!!!
What a cool house! I love mid century architecture and can relate to the huge eves that make it difficult to plant along the house! While mine isn’t as mid century modern as their house, I love my 1957 ranch/rambler in the north Minneapolis suburbs. When we first bought it three years ago, I was excited that the front of our house faces SW because I thought I could plant almost anything there. Then I realized that thanks to the huge eves, it actually does not get any sun until nearly 1pm. Then when it doesn’t, it’s the scorching hot afternoon sun that reflects off of the stucco house! I’ve found it’s not enough sun for some sun plants to thrive, but then it’s too hot for a lot of things that can handle a little more shade. And I have to water a LOT, especially in the hottest parts of summer because even if it rains, it doesn’t get into the front bed because of the eves. So it’s been a challenging. After two full gardening seasons, Im still looking for perennials that will really thrive to finish filling in the back! I’ve definitely found things that I won’t plant there again including Cosmos, and Zinnias that’s I had there the first year, both of those actually died by the end of summer! Not sure if not enough sun, or too intense of sun in the afternoon! I will say that super hot area seems to maybe allow me to cheat a bit on zone hardiness. I have a non-hardy in my zone (4B) Mum that is coming back for the second Spring now, which makes me happy!
Your parents have such a nice property! What a blessing to be able to visit and lose yourself in this garden paradise!
So nice to see where you got your talent. She is so talented.
Theres an art to hosta placement and WOW YOUR MOM ROCKS THIS
Beautiful garden. I tried to instill a love of gardening in my daughters but failed. Working on my grandsons now.😊 Your mothers garden provides much inspiration.
Absolutely lovely and soothing to the eye and soul...Loving all you share from North Idaho zone 6a 💚🌻🌿
Such a nice garden. You’re parents have a beautiful property! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. I enjoyed seeing your mom's garden. I would love it if you would revisit it later in the season.
Such a beautiful garden. Thank you for sharing your mom's garden with us.
Please thank your parents for sharing their garden. What a wonderful landscape! The gardens are just fabulous and it was great to hear about the changes over the years.
Your mom create a paradise in her huge yard , I'm speechless, is so beautiful and the lake view is amazing .
What a lovely garden; and the view of the lake from the bluff is wonderful.
Thanks for the tour. I would love to see it in different seasons.
Your Mom’s a talented gardener, and her gardens are simply gorgeous!!! What a beautiful oasis with a view to die for!
Great to see a garden in my zone
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR PARENTS MID-CENTURY HOUSE!!! The garden is lovely too. Thanks for sharing, Erin.
Tell your mom thank you for letting us tour her beautiful yard.
A lot of outdoor living spaces with great views.
Would really like to see it later on what a beautiful yard your mum has a green thumb just like her daughter
Oh my word, what a beautiful garden! I think the summer tour (that I would love to see!) could be at least an hour long.... yay😁🤞😅 I would love to see that garden in more detail, to get inspired in a garden design point of view. So to speak. (Sorry second language here) Thank you for sharing! 💚🌱🌻
We now know where your passion for gardening comes from! Thanks for this amazing tour. Please thank mom and dad too. 🌸🌸🌸🌿🌿
Such a gorgeous space. Thanks for sharing it with us. Would love another tour later in the season. I can tell where you got your love of gardening from 😊
Lovely area, including the lake!! I planted Virgins Bower this year, but on trellis, up my tree, which I learned from another Gardner!
I finally found my garden zone in my state of Wisconsin, I also am in SE Wisconsin, so this is right up my alley.
*pauses video 14 seconds in* ERIN!!!! I am SO excited to see your parent garden!!!!!! 😃😃😃 Thanks for sharing 💖
Yes please! I would love to see her beautiful gardens again! Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow, so inspiring and beautiful. Yes please for future tours. Thanks Erin!
Erin, I see where your love of gardening started. Your Mom's gardens are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing! (Love that water view).
Stunning! Thanks for sharing. Yes, please do at least one follow up tour so we can see how her garden grows through the season!
