About this video:
Lets visit a plant fair! Each year in the first weekend of May, the Sakonnet Plant fair takes place in Little Compton RI. This is the 2nd time I've attended. Nurseries and plants people get together to offer unique and rare plants for sale. Its a fun fair to attend as there many likeminded gardeners around. Your bound to have a couple of great conversations about plants and gardening. Once I got home it was time to tackle planting some new perennials into the garden. I am trying to keep up with planting my plant stash this season. So far so good! Lets see if I can keep it up. Also, an update on my gomphrena, and some other garden happenings. Thanks for watching - Steph (Gardening in Massachusetts zone 6b) #gardening #gardeningtips #plants
I feel so relaxed listening to you talk. You have a really nice voice. You and your husband make a great team.
The Dawn Redwood was actually growing during the time that dinosaurs walked the Earth. Scientists thought that they had been extinct for over 10,000 years. Explorers found a grove of living Dawn Redwood in Vietnam. Unfortunately, the war broke out at that time and they had to leave quickly. After the war they went back and fortunately found the grove of Dawn Redwood still standing. They collected seeds from the Dawn Redwood and planted them around the world in various places. Some were planted at the Los Angeles Zoo. They are growing near the Avian cages.
Great video Steph - The Azalea you were gifted is beautiful and I absolutely love the concrete basket planter!
I loved the vibrant energy you brought to the plant fair! 🎉🌺 Your excitement about each new discovery was contagious!
Thank you so much!! I can't contain my excitement around plants 💚
Love the Solomon seal you picked out and learning about plants new to me. The ogon redwood tree is gorgeous.
We have three Ogon Golden Dawn Redwoods. They are beautiful and no problem at all. The golden leaves stay that way until they turn a burnt red in the fall. Everybody that comes to our garden, loves these trees. A very neat tree and growing in a perfect slim pyramid. I think, the only thing to be aware of is that the tree could get to be 100 feet tall and 15-25 feet wide. This will take time, of course. The lifespan of these trees is 100 years.
Hi Steph! Next time you are at Briggs nursery if you stand with your back to the building looking in the left-hand corner there is a very large Dawn Redwood. You can walk under the canopy. It is pretty magical!
Good morning! I also planted the Heirloom variety sweet peas. I’m in zone 8b (now) and planted the seeds straight in the garden. They were doing beautifully until the worst case of aphids I’ve ever seen on any plant occurred. Be on the look out. They were planted in my dahlia raised bed and I took them out as I was afraid the aphids might attack my dahlias as well. Come to find out, there are many different types of aphids and my dahlias may have been safe anyway. I didn’t realize. I’m going to try again in the winter. 🤞
Thank you for telling me I need to fertilize my garlic. This is the first year growing garlic. I really have no idea what to do as far as fertilizer goes. I’ll put some blood meal on today. Gomphrena, mine look about like yours. This is also the first year I have planted it by seed. I so enjoy your videos. You have inspired me with different varieties of plants, container planting and I so enjoy seeing your woodland plants-so pretty. Keep up the good work.
HAHA, just like me. I planted the bulbs last year; they look nice. But when the Garden centers start selling plants and you see the ones you want and know where they will be good, you need to move the bulbs. Living in Upstate, it's like there is no spring. Spring seems more like winter than spring, and then summer hits. I want to get those new plants in the ground so they can work on roots.
My gomphrena also didn’t do well. None of the seedlings made it. Thanks for sharing always a pleasure.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and for watching 🥰
So many unique plants! I planted 2 Dawn Redwood trees. They are both in their 3 growing season. The gold stays beautiful and bright chartreuse all summer. They are deciduous conifers. Majestic and beautiful bark. Plant with plenty of space for them to grow. These are the trees I hope someone will enjoy 100 years on 😊
Went to a Master Gardener plant sale this past week and picked up some goodies 😉 TFS
I love seeing how you are developing the pollinator bed next to your new raised bed garden! So many beautiful specimens! And how fun to start to plant some things into your new Vego beds! Happy planting!
Thank you so much Susan 🥰
Shishigashira is a must have for Japanes maple collectors. I just got one and love it. Great video.
I agree! As soon as we can decide on a spot for one, its getting added to our collection🍁
You will love it.
Excellent tips❤, thank you George for showing us the right way❤ And Thank you for the ride to plant sale, showing us plants and back to your garden❤
I've been really enjoying your channel ever since I came across it, but this video just seems even more fun & informative than usual. Maybe it was your sharing the history of the azalea that your dad gave to your grandma, & her to you, or maybe it was the little earthworm that photo bombed your nasturtium transplanting when you sped up the footage LOL
It’s lovely that you have your grandmothers azalea. It’s very pretty.
About 5 years ago I moved my variegated solomon's seal from a semi shaded area out into the full sun on the west side of the house in 7B Maryland and thought it would scorch and die, but instead it's thriving and has formed a dense area that keeps out all the weeds (except the occasional chinese wisteria that a neighbor planted). It's such a valuable ground cover to me.
That's wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your experience Sue 🌱
@@HookedandRooted I got the variegated Solomon's seal 3 years back from a plant sale organized by our local library. I planted it on the west side of the house and it receives full Sun. It does so well in that area that I divide it every year and move it to other areas of my garden. I garden in MA.
Oh I love cup & saucer vine! I hope you love it too Steph. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure
I'm excited to try it Linda 🌱Thanks for watching.
What an awesome plant sale Steph! 😁
Thank you so much Mary! I had a great day. Plant sale + Planting = Happy Gardener 🥰
The red wood variety does stay this colour but grows fast!Janet UK
Loved the video Steph
I tried growing variegated Jacob's ladder. The bunnies ate it to a nub. Yours looks really pretty.
Yay! I can hardly wait to see what treasures you find today. Walk in beauty. ❤
Thank you so much Terry!~ I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching 🌱
You sound like me, getting impatient and moving things, I've done that a few times this year but in today's case I have a pop star hydrangeas that just wasn't performing like it's twin so I dug into the ground to find it in standing water because we have had so much rain recently. I raised her up and backfilled with a bit of potting soil and compost. Hopefully that helps for now.
Hi Steph, what a beautiful azalea and a wonderful memory. 🌺
Hi Stef 🌺.These plants are going to be amazing in your garden and I cant wait to see the cobaea scandes full of flowers . The azalia looks amazing so pretty and this basket from your mother looks so beautiful . Stef plant camellia in your garden in protected area if it grow well in your zone . Happy Mother's day💐 and have a wonderful day .🌻🌺🌻
I have every type of Rue they are one of my favourites 🥰 wonderful selections and varieties 💞
Hi Jasmine! They are so pretty! I even love the foliage.
Hi Steph hope you had a lovely Mother's Day. I love Solomons Seal and I got a clump from a friend too. It did poorly the first two years and then took off and is blooming this year. It is the variegated variety which I agree is so pretty. The plant sale was so interesting, I saw many plants I had not heard of. George did a great job on the irrigation and the pvc pipe is a great way to protect it. I loved hearing your wind chimes when you were in the garden showing us the plants. Happy Gardening!
I have great success in winter sowing with Lubin, verbena and parsley and dill.
Again, great video, plenty of useful informations and instructions. Thank you Steph and George. ❤
I had a very hard time with Gomphrena germination too. I am in zone 9. I started mine in March as well. Maybe just some yucky seeds…. Idk.. our temps are already in the high 80’s.
Thanks George for the great tip !
Hi Patricia! You are so welcome. So thankful to have his help.
I always enjoy your videos so much; always informative and exciting to see what you're planting. I purchased six Astilbe and planted in my large planters on my front porch, today. Planting is so good for the soul. Thanks for your content!❤
Hi Steph, I love my pink gomphrena . I live in zone 7b and it’s been coming back every year.
Thanks Steph
That first nursery you stopped at, Cochato nursery, is right up the street from me! They specialize in unique hostas and other specialty plants, as you now might be able to tell from the plant selections you were looking at. The owner is a member of a Hosta society, and along with the nursery, they have a beautiful wooded Hosta display garden surrounding 3 koi ponds. It's a must-see. They have a website too, so you might want to check it out. But if you go, bring your wallet because some of their plants are quite pricey. I love it when you show local nurseries, too. Some of the selections you show are very inspiring. Keep up the great work.. and George does a great job too!
That azalea is absolutely gorgeous! 🌺
Hey Steph, love the black of your veg area. We also did black and I think it really makes plants pop. I have been looking for the varigated solomons seal for years, you are so lucky!
So nice to see that variegated maple tree 🌿 (I have this on my list to buy for my future zone 9- I read that it can grow there!)
Also, we came across a Dawn Redwood 🌲 and my husband had a “plant moment” at the nursery just this past Mother’s Day! I just wanted to buy plants and garden all day that day haha
He researched and found that it existed around the dinosaur 🦕 age and it was rediscovered in a small part of China and it was brought back to be propagated and grown in the States!
Husband ended up buying an affordable one from Home Depot online and arriving 🔜! 📦 🚚
OMG Steph. I had the same issue with my gomphrena. Have now started three different sets of needs. I'm really hoping this set will get going?!?
I also had a Vovo! She grew a bunch of stuff and my memories of her are not of plants, but crochet. You reminded me of her. Thank you.
Steph, all the new plants look wonderful! Great job, and the garden assistant is really mastering his garden skills! Did he want you to bring the darling maple home 🏠 to him? 😂❤😂
Hi Barb! We have that maple already the 'Autumn Moon', its his favorite. He did say that next year he would come with me to the plant sale lol, I think he's getting the gardening bug. He did like the solomans seal I brought home 😉💚
Var. Solomon Seal does like 'moist' IMO. I have mine in a low spot and it's now around 8' diameter in short order. Another colony again in a lower spot that tends to retain water.
Another few stalks in Hosta bed, not wet - it just kind of sits there.
Just my experience.
Don’t ya just love sweet pease I having in three area of my garden and starting picking them last week they smell so good enjoy them so easy to grow
Thanks steph for the take along plant sale so much fun love your pretty bleeding hearts, jacobs latter is gorgeous🌄
Hi Patricia! Thank you so much!!
The white Bleeding heart look so pretty!
Wonderful video as always! I picked up a Kent beauty oregano as well this year! I was excited to find it and can’t wait to watch it grow. I’ll be growing mine in a pot as well on my deck😊
Hi Devon! I hope it does beautifully for us both 🌱
Great tips!
Great video, your garden is gorgeous ❤
I purchased a Kent Beauty oregano at a garden center an hour away and some how it never made it home. Sigh…😢 I’ll have to enjoy yours in your vlogs.
Did you add soil around your trees so you wouldn't run into so many roots? I just picked up a Jacob's Ladder plant today. My Solomon's Seal plants are planted closer to our house in the shade where the soil is moist. So far they are all doing well and the deer haven't found them. Have a great week!!
Hi Steph, Echoing to what you said (16:00),Ｉhad only 3 "Comphrena Globosa/Globe Amaranth" seeds germinated. And two of them died in transfer. :-) Best, Albert, SF, CA
Yes Albert, this year hasn't been great for Gomphrena germination. Thanks for watching.
thanks for taking us along. i got me a bleeding heart pink now i need to get me a white one. they are beautiful. your garden is so pretty. you got some great buys at the plant sale. i'm trying to plant what i buy so that i do not get so stressed out to get them planted. and again thank you for sharing.
Hi Sonie! the white is so pretty. I hope you find one at some point for your garden. I agree! I'm also doing that this season, trying to plant as I go so its not so overwhelming. Happy gardening!🌱
I’m on my third try for gomphrema too. They have sprouted but can’t get them past the two little leaf stage. I’ll try to be patient and hope they start growing soon.
Nice
you picked the plants that I would pick because i have some of them in my list lol. I already have 2 bleeding hearts but would love the white one. I tried bare root but never sprouted.
Hi Steph, thanks for sharing. I was wondering how did the Ascot Rainbow euphorbia handle the winter?
I’ll go plant shopping anytime
Love Little Compton and its been years since I have been. Lucky you get to go to a plant sale!
Hi Jo! Its a good one to visit. If even just to walk around and check things out. Lots of plants people attend so good conversations to be had. LC is such a cute town. If you ever get down there soon, the barn is a great breakfast spot.
@@HookedandRooted thanks for the response and you got some good plants.
That ginger takes years and years of time to look like anything. One plant would do almost nothing for a ground cover effect, even after years. My sister had it in NY, bought about five to begin with. I have to say beautiful effect, glossy leaves, but after five years it was finally looking like something, but not far and wide, just in the area where they had been planted. They were finally connecting.
You should get some woodland poppy..they are beautiful 😍
Thank you so much for the suggestion Lisa! I haven't heard of it. I'm going to look it up. I appreciate it! 🌱
Yea, I had a bunch of that salvia come back in zone 5 too…my variety is called Artemis though..I think?
Everything looks beautiful. I picked up some more plants this Sunday also and will be finding a spot for them. Happy belated Mother’s Day. ❤❤❤
Happy belated mothers day Maria!! Hope you had a wonderful weekend, and that your kids brought you some beautiful plants for your garden. How fun that you also picked some plants up. My guys brought me to Briggs to choose a couple of plants, and I got to have a lobster roll for lunch. I got spoiled 💚Hope you did too!
That’s wonderful. You should be spoiled! My day was also wonderful. My children got together and gave me the Birdfy for hummingbirds and my grandchildren gave me a beautiful hummingbird spiral wind chime. My husband’s the one that took me to this nursery in Attleboro and I ended up getting my Korean Spice Vibernium and a couple of beautiful Irises. Now I just have to find the right spot. ❤
@@mariacosta6086 oh that's great!! was it Briggs? Its a great nursery. I hope you love your Korean Spice Viburnum. I absolutely loved mine this year, it was the first year it was officially planted and bloomed (bought it last season). Its so pretty, and fragrant 🌱🌱
I knew I had spelled that wrong…lol! It was Evergreen Tree and Landscape in Seekonk not Attleboro. They have a lot of beautiful stuff also.
@@mariacosta6086 ohhh I'll have to visit that one! I've never been. Thanks for sharing Maria!
I got the same Sweet pea. The Salmon color. I am so excited to see them and how they smell. Mine is the same size as your.
I hope it does well for us 🌱
Everything is looking beautiful 😍 George has done an amazing job!! I cheated this year with gomphrena and bought starters from a local nursery lol 😊
Hi Michelle! That's great that you were able to buy some starts. That's a great way to do it! Happy gardening 🌱
The Jacob’s ladder looks so nice. Does it have a scent?
Solomon Seal is listed as deer and rabbit resistant…of course they will eat anything if hungry
Hi Kathy! That's great to know. The deer definitely sample them in my garden. I'll try a new spot closer to the house. Fingers crossed. Thank you for watching 🌱
Thankfully the deer and rabbits have left mine alone for 3 years. Hopefully they will continue to do so
Hi Steph, I, too, love cup and saucer vines. Just bought 2 last week. I have a question: Are the posts securing your cattle panel arbors in your raised beds black. And if so, where did you purchase them? Or did your wonderful husband paint them? 😊
Did George install the irrigation AFTER you filled the beds, even the ones where he had to run it from underneath? I ordered some Vego beds but am reluctant to fill them until I get the irrigation in place, thinking it would be too hard to do once they're filled. Maybe not...?
For my Pleactranthus, I take cuttings each fall to over winter as starts in the following spring. Kind of like coleus, why spend money on a plant you can save!
Thank you so much! That's a great tip 🌱
I love the backstory of your azalea. It’s beautiful. Do you spray it to keep the deer away?
Hi Tammy, Thank you! I usually do, but this year I forgot and I got lucky. They have eaten on it in the past though, same with my rhododendrons.
Thank you. I may have to start spraying. I miss having azaleas.
I also planted a Rainbow Leucothoe, but after three years, I yanked it out as it never grew and always looked like it had scorched leaves. So if anyone knows the best way to take care of those, I’d love to hear.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'll have to see how it goes.
Hi Steph
Please note that Solomon Seal can be very invasive.
Hi there! I wish it would be a little more aggressive for me. I have had a small clump for at least 6 years, and its never amounted to much. But yes, how fast and how much a plant spreads certainly can be dependent on the growing area and conditions. Thank you 🌱
My Gomphrena germination was terrific I started them 6 weeks ago and every cell took. How warm does it have to be before I can plant out? . I’m in coastal Mass and the long range forecast is all nights above 50 but not super warm during day ?
Great video! I winter sowed gomphrena and it's doing awesome! Maybe try another seed company?
Perhaps it was just something off this year. I have had great luck with it the last couple of years. I shoud still have enough seedlings if they continue to grow 🤞
💖👍🏻💖
How do you find out about these sales? I'm in MA and would have loved to go to this. Tower Hill Botanic Garden had one about 6 years ago but haven't had one since.
Hi Marty! I found out about this one through my garden club. They have a facebook page if your on FB and you can like and follow to get updates on the sale. This particular one happens to fall on the first Saturday of May each year.
maybe you need newer gomphrena seeds or a different brand
I do well at starting seeds and planting. Not so good at remembering to fertilize. What is a good practice to help me remember to fertilize and when?
Fertilizer Friday! That is how I remember. Each Friday, I fertilize 😉🌱
Do you need to worry about Jumping Worms in your area?
Yes, I have heard people in our area talk about it. The plants I purchased were from nurseries, so I feel fairy confident that the soil is sterilized/clean. However its definitely wise to take precautions with plant sharing/plant sales. Cleaning off all the soil from the roots, and planting in clean soil in your garden is probably a good step to take.
My gomphrena is coming up yet, I winter sowed in feb, 🥲
