Thanks so much. Making spaces for all of us to enjoy is so important. We have so many new species this year with the added sunshine along with the older trees. I appreciate your comment.
OMG, that apple tree was amazing! Not only the blossoms but the branching structure of it is eye candy as well. Kudos for having such a large percentage of pollinator friendly plants.
@@JoAnnBlondin I agree. Please do more gardening videos. Garden Tours are great where you talk about what's planted, new ideas, etc. Love your garden and a fellow Canadian :)
Jo-Ann your garden is Just Beautiful. I see you like to garden like I do . I have a lot of the same plants as you do . I love your Pink table and chairs. I won't forget your name as I have a sister in Kentucky with the same name and she spells it just like you do . So until next time God Bless you and Happy Gardening my friend.
Joan, thanks for the lovely comment. It always surprises me that we can similar plants in parts of North America. Our Moms must have thought they were so original with the spelling. Happy gardening to you too.
Thanks for this comment. I'll make sure to add that when I start. I've done it at times but having it every time allows for new people to hear it right away. I'm close to Toronto so zone 5 to 6b. We get strong winter winds so I tend to buy for zone 5. Glad you enjoyed the tour and left a comment.
Beautiful! Very enjoyable tour. I love ranunculus as well but no success growing them. I do have a ranunculus-like flower that's more wild that does well. But I have had zero success with the traditional ranunculus and I have tried many ways.
Kyra that's interesting to hear about the ranunculus. I'll let you know if anything happens. I'm thinking those white pots would look better with hens and chicks and succulents. It was fun to try growing them from dried corms but next year, I will do cut ranunculus for arrangements instead.
The woman that said the ivory lilac only blooms twice a year probably prunes off the blooms every other year. They should always bloom the same time every year
What is your state, to have 22 degrees in Spring, and have such beautiful blooms. I think I watched your vid awhile back,when you had a big party in backyard, and told us how to line (with personal female product) in your coconut liner. Going to subscribe again. Tfs cheers
Hi Victoria. Thanks for being a long time watcher. Yes, that was my son's wedding events. So delighted you recall that. I'm in Toronto Canada which is a Zone 5 garden with Lake Ontario giving us humidity all summer and less intense cold in the winter (but lots of ice, rain and snow mixes). Thanks for subscribing.
Unfortunately, the dogwood will not bloom after it's leaves out. And I found out one thing about them they bloom very little or not at all if you fertilize them. I do love your garden.
@@JoAnnBlondin I stopped fertilizing mine last year and this year I was thanked with a few blooms. Hopefully next year I will see more. Am lucky though, my neighbors behind my home have some and they are covered in flowers.
What a gorgeous garden! Love those beautiful tulips, the pinks and the burgundy :) Could not help but noticing you have mulch put down, can you share about your experience with it over winter? I also garden in zone 5-6a, in Europe, and I am a bit concerned, this is my first winter since I also added woody mulch to my garden and I am starting to see fungal activity, which I think is normal, but I am concerned whether it could affect herbaceous perennials, or spring bulbs which I a plated under the mulch
Thanks Ruby. That exactly why I like the pink...reminds me to not be so serious. I embrace colour and with our long Canadian winters, that pink brightens up dull days. That said, I debated painting it black or white this year but decided to stick with the pink for the fun element it provides. You never know...it may change again. It was dark green before.
Hi Hope. It is my hubby and me who do all the work. He helps moves dirt, does the lawn and watches me water by hand. I plant, weed and harvest. Team work.
Very lovely and peaceful. I'd be out there all the time...coffee, wine or just chilling :) My garden is finally coming along too. It's really late this year due to rain. What planting zone are you in?
I'm in northern Ohio, Cleveland area. Zone 5. It's been cold and rainy here for too long. I'm hoping to finally get all my plants in this week. Fingers crossed!
Where your pink table and chairs sits, that round enclosed areas, is the ground tile? Concrete? And pebbles on top or is it dirt, grass and pebbles on top? No weeds no grass I like that.
Previously it was grass under the walnut tree that didn't look great. We put down landscape fabric and pea gravel as we needed the rainfall to go to the tree roots. Long term, that's better for the environment as there are more places for absorbing water. And it was cheaper 😊🐬🌻
Jo-Ann Blondin thank you!! but do you have problems with weeds growing through the landscaping fabric? And how many layers of fabric and how many inches thick of pea gravel did you use for your area. I have grass and am emphatically DONE!!!!!!!!!!
Yes we still get weeds but they are easy to remove. I usually use a rake (the back of it) about once a month to keep the weeds from getting big. We used one layer of black thicker landscape fabric, overlapped it with about 3-4 inches between the rows. We added about an inch of pea gravel and add more each year where it gets bare. The area started small at first. My husband jokes that my mission is to have no grass eventually. With the tree being cut there, the sawdust has left new dirt for more weeds. When it's all gravel, it's not a great environment for weeds but the extra dirt will have me raking more often.
Jo-Ann Blondin well I’m convinced it can and will get done. Your place looks so beautiful it’s such a wonderful idea. I need to take out the heavy chairs when my husband wants to mow. I’m so done with this never ending task.
I'd have coffee out there every morning! Beatiful!
Absolutely...except when it rains. I need to figure out how to make an area that stays dry.
33:40 Gorgeous capture!! You live in a beautiful nature paradise!!
What a great garden and tour. I've done my April and now looking forward to doing my May 2020 English garden tour. Thank you for the tips.
I am watching this nearly a year later....enjoyed it so much!

What a gorgeous environment for man and insect. Thank you for housing our bees. It’s a wonderland. Tfs. 💕👏🏼💕

wow I very like your garden. like #323

Thanks. We have been working on its structure. Appreciate you noticing. Spring is a lovely time in this garden for pollinators.
I adore your garden, I was wondering when you’ ll post again! you should do more gardening related videos, not just monthly ones🌸🌺🌷
Great idea. Any topics you would like me to cover or see more of? And thank you for comment.

Olá boa noite querida! Jardim maravilhoso
Love your garden!
Thank you so much. Happy gardening!
Your garden is so beautiful!!!
Thank you for taking the monthly tours. I appreciate your comments.
Very pretty garden! I’ve never seen tulips like you have- gorgeous! You could try WD40 to take off the label from your pot....works on mine.
Thank you. My garden centre had all different kinds of tulips last fall. Great idea on the WD40 I'll try that in the morning.
Wow. Looks great!
Major garden envy! I do wish you'd preface your videos with your growing zone, or at least your general location.
naturemomma87 Yes, please. I completely agree. Knowing the zone they are in is very helpful information for the rest of us.
Thanks for this comment. I'll make sure to add that when I start. I've done it at times but having it every time allows for new people to hear it right away. I'm close to Toronto so zone 5 to 6b. We get strong winter winds so I tend to buy for zone 5. Glad you enjoyed the tour and left a comment.
@@lucis6586 I'll be sure to add that in future videos.
Beautiful.
Thank you.
I love your garden video and the explanation of what plants you've got as well as all the details you've provided...new subscriber!
I forgot to ask where you garden? Zone?

Thanks. That's good to know. It's too high for me to trim them off so glad I didn't try. Let's see if it blooms this year too.
Beautiful
Thank you Martha

Beautiful garden very well maintained, may I ask how you water your plants, by irrigation system or you do it by yourself.
I love your garden.

Beautiful garden! A suggestion....I would repaint the pink seating. Your garden is seriously nice and the pink is not that serious.
Thanks Ruby. That exactly why I like the pink...reminds me to not be so serious. I embrace colour and with our long Canadian winters, that pink brightens up dull days. That said, I debated painting it black or white this year but decided to stick with the pink for the fun element it provides. You never know...it may change again. It was dark green before.
Jo-Ann Blondin Leave it pink. It is so romantic!

Your garden is amazing. Do you have help on keeping up with it?
Hi Hope. It is my hubby and me who do all the work. He helps moves dirt, does the lawn and watches me water by hand. I plant, weed and harvest. Team work.
Very lovely and peaceful. I'd be out there all the time...coffee, wine or just chilling :) My garden is finally coming along too. It's really late this year due to rain. What planting zone are you in?
I'm in zone 5 or 6a...just out side of Toronto. The rain has been brutal this spring. How about you?
I'm in northern Ohio, Cleveland area. Zone 5. It's been cold and rainy here for too long. I'm hoping to finally get all my plants in this week. Fingers crossed!
Your garden is beautiful. Where are you gardening? What zone?
Thank you Bernadette. I'm close to Toronto Canada so Zone 6a using Canadian zones or 5 using US. I buy my plants hardy to zone 5.
Where is April 2021 tour girl?
I'll be doing part today as the magnolia is in full bloom. Then we have frost. So expect the April one end of month. I appreciate you asking
