    Omg, my Dane had the same type of cameo in a video my husband was doing for his business after a few shipments had to come to our home while the storefront was closed. There is something especially hilarious and goofy when a dog is giant! Oh.....loved the rest of the video too. 😋

      Lisa Walters It can be really frustrating when containers don’t come together the way you envision them. Is it just that the plants haven’t grown much yet or do you think that it’s not going to get better? Personally when a container has gone wrong for me it’s usually one of two things: too many plants fighting with each other or an issue with the texture and sometimes they are one in the same. Bold texture contrasting with fine texture almost never goes wrong.

      @@TheImpatientGardener I do think it's both. Lady at the nursery talked me into using tall rosemary as the height instead of a small evergreen like I wanted. Put your chosen plants with it like you want, she said. 🤬 who is the bigger fool, me or her? ME! We are camping this weekend but come next week I'm tearing them out. I dont even like rosemary! 🤦‍♀️

    It's lovely! Can't wait to see it filled in. I have a trio of terra cotta pots ranging is sizes grouped at the start of my walkway with a double Shepard's hook in the center with hanging baskets, all have periwinkle bright eyes, yellow stonecrop sedum that cascades and the largest pot also has a white ruffled clematis and red cypress vine that climbs the Shepard's hook, with a few zinnas in the center. I've repeated some of the same flowers in large pots that flank the steps at the other end. On my porch (which is mostly shade) I have hostas with impatiens and ferns.

    I can only garden in containers, so thank you for the inspiration. I'm working on my "gradient/ombre" jungle, so I have dozens of containers with various plants (climbers, shrubs, bulbs, seeds and just a few annuals) of similar colours, and I think (and hoping) it'll be the first year it'll actually show!! I was also hoping I'd film everything for my channel, but technology totally let me down, so I'll at least try to have some tours...

    I love your window box and choice of plants. So pretty together. I too 💕 containers...have way too many. We are on town water so a drip system would cost a fortune. I have lots of rain barrels. One of my favourite and you are right doesn’t look like much at first planting is a 3 tier combination I do for a shade area. I pile 3 pots kind of inside one another only planting in the outer rim, hard to explain. I usually use inpatients 2 different colours in the bottom 2 tiers then the top coleus, but the magic happens mid summer as they grow and bush out...looks like one big ball of flowers, you can’t see the containers. That is just one of my favs. Love your channel btw...you are down to earth girl!

    Love this combo (and love your Newfies - big fluff balls 🥰). Why no window box on the other lower window? I have 2 hay rack window boxes. Since they are mostly in shade I used a begonia with double flowers in coral, a white single flower begonia, a white impatient, coleus, sweet potato vine and a variegated ivy on either end. The ivy and impatient have green leaves, coleus has green with purple veining and the rest have purple/bronze foliage. So far I like the combo.

    • @TheImpatientGardener
      @TheImpatientGardener  4 роки тому +1

      Two issues with a window box on the other window: 1. That window is much lower than the window where I have the window box, so I'm not sure how that would look. 2. The bigger issue is that our cellar doors are right there and when opened they reach to right underneath the window so there's probably no room for another window box. I'd love to have more though!

    I have a window box on my porch. How to deal with the water dripping on my wood floor? Suggestions?

    Oh Gosh! That previous window box was gorgeous - it looked so beautiful with the plants underneath it!
