  • I don't often talk about how I got started with my love of flowers. I figured since there has been a lot of new followers I should share a little more of how I started here at Garden Crossings. The Bloomables garden is looking great still so I wanted to give you a short tour of that and I wanted to share with you why we decided, for now, to plant grass on our new drain field.

    We day tripped to see your garden center just yesterday & so enjoyed our visit! Gardens exploding with blooms, lots of fluttering in the butterfly house & beautiful stock still available; we didn’t see a thing that looked tired or past it’s prime. I picked up a Lemonjade sedum I couldn’t find in my area, along with a beautiful mum & something new to try in our garden. Staff was helpful & recommended a nearby spot for lunch (it was delicious). 100% worth the 2-hour drive!❤

    I have learned so much from your video's. I tried several new varieties of plants this year that I saw on your channel. Some have done well, others not so much, but I now know what to plant. My fox glove did the exact same thing that yours did. I was so surprised how beautiful it is right now. I can't wait to see how my garden does next year.

      Plants can be trial and error. We all have different planting conditions. We all learn from what works and what doesnt.

    Heidi, you have a God given talent in describing the plants and the beauty in them. I could literally listen to you and see all the beautiful flowers with my eyes closed. No one on UA-cam can compare when it comes to your way of describing each and every aspect of the plant. Sending much love from Alabama.

    Those plants in the Bloomables are gorgeous. Just so you know, vermillionaire is NOT deer resistant nor is the Jacob’s ladder. I learned that information the hard way.

    Thank you for sharing. I wanted to know if you have ever heard of the plant "Four O'Clocks"? I have not seen them on any of your tutorials and that could be because they don't grow in your zone. But wanted to know what was your take on them. Your gardens are always so beautiful, thank you for sharing your knowledge on everything landscaping.

    • @gardencrossings
      @gardencrossings  18 днів тому

      Thank you for asking. We do not grow four o'clocks. They would be an annual in our area. I looked them up and they are pretty

    Heidi,you share so many of our stories. I also became a gardener,after losing my healthcare career,d/t health changes post 2 car crashes in close succession. When I was enough healed,I learned to plant with my feet,giving the neighbours some humour in their days. Through good days & bad, I get out there when I can move better, and the garden is such a mental boost !
    Thanks for delightful videos which have boosted my planting confidence,to bring compliments from many passersby. Good health to all 🌈

    I noticed your plant markers I have plant markers and have used Avery clear labels with a laser printer. The laser printed plant label has lasted so many years in my gardens. I mean probably 15 or more years. Most gardeners would not know about that. Thought I would share. I enjoyed your video. Porterweed is a great plant for hummingbirds to drink nectar.
