Does anyone else hit the like button at the beginning of these tours just because you know they are going to be fun and wonderful?
Yes!!
lol! All the time :)
Literally just did that 😂
Always
Yep just did it❤
Love your videos! Your gardens look amazing, and they inspire me to plant more color and variety in mine. Thank you for keeping it real!
“I just call it pretty”
Yes that.
In addition to gloves, add another barrier between your skin and a plant you're allergic to by covering the plant with a plastic bag before pulling or picking up the cut pieces (if it's larger). This will also help contain some seed or oils.
Love ❤ love these tours!!
I say planted up. It’s like dressing up. Making things pretty.
My hands are looking bad. I just don’t like gloves. If you are pulling weeds you need to be able to feel the roots. And planting too… I like to know what’s going on under the dirt.
I love the way you garden…when I garden I look like hell but I don’t care because it’s my passion and I work hard.
Always love your unedited garden tours…keeping it real!! Bet they would be even more fun AFTER a few of those gin and tonics😉!! 😂😂😂
LOVE those hanging orbs with fire-it . So cool.
Love the sip & strolls. It makes me feel better about how I look in the garden😊. I love clematis roguchi. I have one growing up a white climbing rose on a red arbor. However- left to her own devices mine will get 5-6 feet across. She was definitely stressing to rose. I have to thin out the stems every year now. Love the way beas fall asleep in the flowers. Just look before you sniff
Dear Erin, please send those big storms my way. I'll take anything in the form of rain at this point. Raleigh NC thanks you for all that you can do to influence that! 🥵.
Wow! Great send ins on the postcards!
Thank you for doing your part on normalizing dirty gardeners hands. Lol, I get it…got them and adore the opportunity!
It takes a full soaking to making them spotless. 😂
Your unique plant choices inspire me!
Wow Erin, your garden is looking fantastic and those hanging planters with the dome top. You have to know fairy lights on them in the winter time gorgeous. I have to ask the clematis that you had that was like a wine burgundy you love the colour I swear to God it looked just like a purple sandcherry. Congratulations on a beautiful garden and thank you for my so much for taking us along.👍❤️🙂
I'm 20 miles up the road from you and yesterday I messaged my sisters that my penstemon, Bell flowers and catmint are twice as tall as they have ever been before. But, it could stop raining for a while.
Love your garden
Hello Erin! Do you still have oak leaf hydrangeas? I never see them in the garden strolls. Chears. Love the noise of the ice cubes.
I have itea and it looks chlorotic every year. Not sure why 🤷♀️ I’m not great about fertilizing but I’ll throw something on it soon. Of course the area I planted it is no longer wet and with the dry summers we get anymore it probably isn’t so happy.
Avon Skin So Soft oil spray to keep away mosquitoes
Good lord that purple clematis 😮
Erin,
Did you plant Banana 1.0 w/out filming it or have I missed a video? 🤔
I did. It was fairly anticlimactic
Ya know, we, the Banana Minions, wanted to see it, right?! 😉
Nettles - - - Me Me Me ...... but im in lincolnshire uk, can you put me up for a couple of nights, love dogs and especially ginger cats, willing to work for gin and tonics! Hx
Where did you source your sanguisorba seeds?
I’ve never grown them from seed. I always buy plants.
Sip and Stroll videos are my favorite. It feels like I’m visiting your garden. (I also like seeing someone else gardening without styled hair and makeup.) This is our new Sunday morning thing to watch.
I agree, Jennifer. I love watching videos where it's real. I don't know how others have full face makeup and hair done. Umm, not me. I look like a mess, and sometimes, like, i just came out of a water hole. l😂
Love the SIP and stroll. The clinking of ice makes me smile throughout your video 🤣 These strolls are giving us a fun real-time progress of your lovely garden. Keep them coming!
I have said it many times before but I love these garden tours. They inspire me to keep going in my own gardens.
Love the sip and stroll and the postcards. I just came back from church, so no dirty hands right now. I did, however, pull weeds in my pj's earlier as I did my morning garden check. Oh joy! I saw a hummingbird on my zinnias this morning!
So glad I’m not the only one who strolls through the garden in their pjs and pulls random weeds. I always think I’m going to run out and check the garden real quick but then find myself lost in the moment. Pjs, weeds and coffee.
New Zealand is magical. I went there last fall (add a day travel from Washington, DC- I was relieved my 70+body was able to,straighten up after finally getting to NZ. ) but it was worth it. The 360 degree beautiful landscapes brought me to tears. The forest walks were like fairy lands. Was dreamlike. Hard to imagine a country that has thousands of penguins coming out of the southern tip and then has rainforests in other areas. The gardens have plants that are monstrous in size and gorgeousness. Trip Worth every saved penny(gulp) and every moment in living out of a 15 pound suitcase for 30 days. Ha. Highly recommend people visit if they can manage it. I was black and blue from pinching myself that I was really there and the scenes were not a mirage.
Saying potted up is absolutely grammatically correct!! I have a degree in English and know this!! You were wrong about one thing…..you said the garden is pretty but it’s BEAUTIFUL!!!
I so enjoy the postcards. Anyone with clean hands does not garden. Thanks for keeping it real.
If I could only keep the fingertips from wearing thru in all my gloves. They become “driving the riding mower gloves” once the fingertips have gone!
We work hard on our gardeners manicure
I absolutely love the two hanging baskets and old fire pit planter. What a wonderful idea - it certainly is an eye catcher. If I didn't have such wind by my tree I'd certainly try something like this. Love your sip and stroll videos - thank you.
Absolutely love the new format. You’ve always posted content that was totally relatable to home gardeners. However, the new format, with drink in hand, dirt under your nails and little piles of yanked weeds laying on the grass outside your borders definitely drives the “relatable” point home and unequivocally identifies you as a kindred spirit to most of us when it comes to gardening. As always, thanks for keeping it real. Please keep ‘em coming! 🌻💚
That rosy teacups dogwood is a real winner!!
Thanks for the garden stroll, always enjoy it.
I am enjoying these unedited garden videos so much! My neighbors wouldn’t know if it was truly me in the yard unless I had a sweatband on my head and was covered with dirt or mud.
😅I stopped by my nearby Lowe's when I was clean and presentable. They did not recognize me, as i am usually dirty and sweaty.
I love that Rosey Teacups Dogwood. Happy to hear they bloom for so long.
Had to get my banana bread in the oven before watching, now relaxing with a cup of tea as I enjoy the stroll!
❤❤❤❤ love your not afraid to show those garden nails ! YOU are the real deal and make me so proud to be a fan 🎉 ! ps. they match my nails.
Here in eastern PA, my penstemon has exploded this year. Love that plant for interest all year. Don't know what variety I have, but loved your comment, "I just call it prettty." As for the dirty hands, "I just call it busy!"
We WERE all whispering "astrantia"in your ear 😂
Mine has been bloomung for weeks. So lovely
I started volunteering at my local botanical garden to spend time (and get ideas) in other gardens. I have a new appreciation for gardeners who work full time in these gardens, especially in the heat and humidity.
Awesome walk about … I also struggle sometimes remembering plant names! But today was just funny… you can name all plants with the hard names, but not the easy ones to say 😂
Stunning! I can't grow a lot of these things, but I still watch, wish and enjoy! I have never heard of that anstrantia, but it's gorgeous! I am glad you forget the names of the plants too...that makes me feel better...lol!
You are absolutely right about seeing other gardens in your area to gain inspiration. Also being able to see mature plants thriving and being able to ask the gardeners their tips and tricks on growing them.
You need one of those gimbal video stabilizer things cause I got a little sick but other wise nice to see!
Everything is beautiful! Where do you get the Cheer Blue Delphinium? I can’t find it.
Clinking of ice and remember plant names. I have never watched a more perfect video!
I love your garden, and you have helped me a lot in mine,I started looking at it like a stranger to the space, and it helps me see how far it has come and to appreciate the season it's in.
❤
Erin love your impromptu videos and yes I had just come in from the garden. My neighbors cows got out this AM and into our vegetable garden. Ate the corn and beans. I hate picking beans. Thanks to the cows. Have a lovely day.
I like your ideas BUT your video skills trigger my epilepsy! Your impatience really shows in the way you handle your camera. Just a bit of constructive criticism. I hope you keep it in mind… or not. Cheers 😊❤😊
You can slow the video by going to the settings on your device. I speed some others if I don't have time to watch in actual time.
Always great to see a friendly face in the garden! Thanks for the tour!
Loving the Sip and Stroll! Your garden is looking fantastic. Your container combinations are stunning.
love your videos and real gardener hands. enjoy that g+t
in 1986 I mailed a post card from Kenya addressed: Aunt Martha Winter Harbor ME USA it got there!
Erin, that allium in contrast to your gin and tonic is stunning!! LOL, you crack me up. Love your style. Everything looks great ❤
I'm enjoying your garden strolls! We did a cruise up the coast of New Zealand and thoroughly enjoyed visiting all the gardens we could. It is indeed a beautiful place!
Nothing like a cocktail
perhaps "planting up" comes from the days when everyone was canning and root cellar storage was called "putting up" for winter
PW Midnight Masquerade penstemon. Just walked my yard after lots of rain in north west Michigan. My Onyx and Pearls penstemon is tall and needs staking, which I’ll do soon. I use the metal frames from political signs, they are sturdy yet unobtrusive and give just enough structure.
Wait! You can grow bromeliads outside???
I love Sip and Stroll videos and can't wait for each to show up on my feed. I'm curious about your dahlias - how do you keep the bunnies from chewing them into oblivion? I have to fence each plant.
Love the sip & stroll❤
Did I miss a video? THE Banana is planted already. Funnily you simply passed by it with no mention.
Enjoyed this! May have to watch these later in day do I can join you in a gin and tonic!!!😊❤️👍🏻
Your pretty Penstemon is PW 'Midnight Masquerade' Beardtongue. I love the dark foliage and beautiful flowers. A favorite of the bees and hummingbirds so I have to grow it in my garden!
What a great Sip and Stroll! I just love the layers and layers of plants in your garden, Erin - it is so visually rich and interesting, and the colors and textures add to that. I ordered Carex plantaginea for my woodland garden after seeing it in yours - such a cool native plant - and it looks great in your garden. Thank you for a fun tour!
You crack me up with the gin and tonic because I'd likely be drinking and gardening at the same time too. And it's hilarious how you forget what the plants are the further you get into that drink. You crack me up. My drink of choice however is Gray goose, club soda, lemons and limes over ice. Tonic has too much sugar in it. I'm surprised you don't have a Chicago Hardy fig. I'm in zone 6b so maybe it has a better chance here. I also have a Dr Monticello fig and both are getting ginormus. And speaking of rain, we had no rain for like 10 days over here and I was watering my head off but finally last night it started thundering lightning and holy helicopters did it rain all night! My tomato plants are bent over and my hibiscus is looking like someone trampled through it but thank goodness for plant clips and chopsticks because I can stake everything
What a wonderful video. This casual stroll is like a wonderful visit with a friend. You and your amazing gardens inspire me. I have both sunny and woodland gardens in SW suburbs of Chicago. I love learning about your unusual plants. I am doing some research on Goats beard now. Have you ever thought to place a unique fallen log or driftwood in your young shady bed with the ginger and ferns? I’m trying to add more natural “garden art”, but have to find just the right piece.
Love your sip and strolls on a Sunday mornings. As I strolled our wooded area last evening, I realized I planted one too many of our PNW native goatsbeard resulting in a bit of over crowding.. Where to move it? Now -thanks to you-- I will add it to a shaded backyard bed. Shoutout to Seabright Nursery which is an hour away from our home. Went last week and picked up 3 varieties of bog tolerant ferns to add to the edge of our wetland. We have lots of lady ferns, but it was time to add some variety. Their plant variety and quality is outstanding. We are talking off tomorrow to visit a Stumpery in the Puget Sound area of Washington state. Looking forward to being inspired. I'll pick you up a postcard!
.
Love the three planters in the shade.
I just love walking through your garden with you. I have taken quite a few suggestions. Always take notes. Thank you very much.
My dad’s all time favorite cocktail ever a Gin & Tonic! He enjoyed one every afternoon when coming in from work.. cheers!
He liked Blue Sapphire
Hi Erin, I love the 2025 cuphea! I think you have Totally Temped Frosted Violets. There are 3 other new cuphea: Totally Tempted Richly Red, Totally Tempted Vivid Violet, Totally Tempted Watermelon Wine. It's a favorite of pollinators so I hope to buy it next year as I love to grow plants for the hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. The new cuphea is listed on the Proven Winners website, that's where I found the info.
PW has video about the new 2025 plants, so I don't understand the secrecy
I can’t believe the mosquitoes aren’t carrying you away! There bad everywhere in WI! I have 2 zappers going. Hope you made it through storms last night. We were lucky the tornado didn’t touch down, but the plants are leaning, the leaves look bruised and when I seen the oak do the hula I hid!
No thx I have my own nettles😂. I put a ton of saved seed over the area after beating it back. 😍that dogwood, but I don’t think they survive Z5a. My hydrangeas keeps talking a beating-maybe next year it will be fuller. Between wildlife, roosters and storms-🙄. Penstemon I grew from seed last year are just gorgeous this year and by accident they looked terrific around clematis. I just ripped up red poppies as they were too thick and we will have plenty of fungus soon with all this humidity and rain. Plus I don’t need that many reseeding as they had last year. Just had a Jimi’s purple haze pop. That and Lucille and Lauren’s grape will be cooking soon. Definitely have to dead head. And the Orange Butterfly Weed is the star attraction and spreading just as quickly as the poppies. They looked smashing with yellow primrose.
I went out briefly to tie up some plants before storm. Couldn’t handle the humidity and mosquitoes! I think that may have been another reason you stayed on the move 😂.
Try mosquito beater from bonide - it helps. I learned about it from Laura on Garden Answer.
If you love shasta daisies, try PW Amazing Daisy May Diasies! They bloom all summer and the stalks stay upright!
This is my fourth year growing DaisyMay Daisies. This year for some reason they grew taller and flopped on me. I wish I knew why. The previous years they were nice and upright. We've had adequate rain but not tons like Erin has gotten.
I wish I could plant a Banana, due to my tiny space it is impossible. I always love your garden stroll I enjoy watching many varieties and beautiful plants and flowers in your amazing garden. Thank you!
Beautiful tour! I didn't catch where you ordered the hanging basket frames. Can anyone share a link?
Those were very pretty baskets.
I love the dirt!
Awesome sip and stroll video! I love the darker astrantia (masterwort) and all of the different kinds of nepeta you have! The heat has finally quit here in Northeast Ohio. Picked up Midwest Living and loved the article about you and your garden. They need to come back and photograph your redone deck garden because it is stunning!
Thank God the heat is gone in NEO!!
Cheers!
Great tour Erin … fellow gardener from Westfield NY zone 6 b. …. At least that’s what they say !
BE🌳UT🎋FUL‼️
Fun tour- thx Erin 🌿
BTW, many garden channels say “plant up”😂 Never really noticed it until you pointed it out.
Love love my Goats Beard. Who doesn’t love a 6’ tall Astilbe?
So glad you started these relaxin strolls through your garden, I have learned so much..Thank you
Love Clematis Rooguchi and especially growing through your Dogwood! A lovely sip and stroll 🌸
Hi Erin! I love the hanging baskets (from Terrain). I feel casual because YOU feel casual! THANKS!
Erin, I think these videos are the best content on UA-cam right now ! I’m in zone 6 , Buffalo NY , and my Penstamon were the BEST they’ve ever been this year, but they are already done blooming ! The warm weather and lots of rain have been exceptional , Thank you for all the inspiration 😊 can’t wait for all the Floret seeds I bravely just direct sowed into the ground to bloom, I have about 6 dahlias from seed that are going for it and every zinnia seed I planted has germinated and is ready to be pinched ❤ ! Keep,up with the on the spot garden walks , Love it !
I feel ya Erin. I'm in the southeast and a couple of evenings ago I went out to try to get a couple of things done. But the knats and mosquitoes were so bad that I threw in the towel and said heck with it.
I've used Mosquito beater from I think Bonide. It does help. I heard about from Laura on Garden Answer.
I also received those storms. Howdy from Northeastern Illinois!! Love your content. Bummed I missed you at Northwinds. Go back.😊
Hope you were ok with the storms/tornados.... Chicago burbs here - Limbs/sticks and a messy roof but not bad. Boom - yea, still shit falling on my roof LOL.
💚💙 Me in Aotearoa NZ. yay , go kiwis ...and we're bl**dy good sailors ....right , haha !! We love u Erin 😉🌏⛵✈ Love your garden
Cheers! Enjoyed the sip and stroll, with an IPA ( not a cocktail). Greetings from NE WA.
Thank you! I actually relax watching your videos. Love the hands. Love the plants eaten up by slugs just like mine.
Cheers, Erin🍷 Oh my, that blue delphinium rivals the Himalayan blue poppy in color! 💙 I've given up on the HBP & think I even prefer the delphinium with all those blooms!
Sailing around in New Zealand was worth the travel.
Alliums and dogwood are still blooming there? June 23?
"You're probably all watching this with dirty hands too." 🤣🤣🤣 You have no proof!
Erin,
I don't mind you using the term (colloquialism?) "planted up." Personally, I think it's sweet. 😊 I'm Southern & we have many term that aren't considered the norm, so the next time someone gives you serious grief over your use of "planted up," you can tell them this southerner sends them a, "Bless your heart." 😉
Definitely watching with dirty hands :) I will come weed your garden any day. I can’t say this enough, but I truly am inspired by you, your garden, your personality. Thank you so much. Everything looks amazing and I am aspiring to get there as well
Slugs. This year I have enormous problem with slugs. I cut 30-100 every night and they eat things they normally shouldn’t like salvia or nicotiana or lambs ear.
Do you see that they changed their diet too? 😢
Your garden looks fantastic. Love the trio baskets you made up. Will add a nice pop of colour. The allium are beautiful. Enjoy your gin and tonic in your yard. 🌸🌿🌺💚
I love sip and strolls! I need to find that old video where you showed how to make your gin and tonics (I think) And the wine and weeds 😂 That teacup dogwood is breathtaking!! It's going on my list! Also a great idea to grow clematis through things. I may or may not have purchased two clematis and I have no more trellises left. 😮 Do you think I could grow one through a large viburnum? Thank you!!
at like 17:52 seconds you passed a white allium , not the nigrum… can you tell me common name?
miss wine and weeds but sip and stroll is awesome. love your gardens
So true about the dirty hands, just came in from gardening! My Itea Fizzy Mizzy is also showing chlorosis. Nothing else around it is. Love your poppies. They add a magical touch to the garden. Also love the Astrantia. Need to try that plant.
