  • I'm so excited to finally be planting out my first round of summer annuals I started from seed inside. In my back raised beds I'm sticking to a color scheme of pinks, oranges, and purples. Some of these plants are favorites from last year and some are completely new to me!

    I grow celosias also. They dry gorgeous for a dried floral arrangement. And speaking of drying my dehydrator is a Cosori and I love it. I believe Walmart or Amazon is where it was purchased.

    Love this. I’m looking for an elevated garden bed. I like the new ones you just put together. I certainly know to add wheels. Will you please give a review of different ones. I like the ones made of wood.
    You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you.

      Gronomics and charming bench company are the other brands I have beds from! I like both of those a lot as well.

    Hi from Denver! Found your channel and love your garden! 😊 I've been gardening for years but mostly beds... we moved and now our deck is at our main level, so it'll be easier to keep up with vs. going down to the lawn. 🤪 I planted squash in my one garden bed downstairs. Herbs, flowers (trying zinnias!), and yellow pear tomatoes are on the deck. Can't wait to see how yours progresses! 🌻 Loved the blue suade flowers you planted last year... Since I'm newer to container gardening, do any of your plants keep for the next year, or do you fully replant? Thanks!

      My raspberries and rhubarb come back each year even leaving them outside without any protection. I also had echinacea and rudbeckia come back! I bring hydrangeas and roses into the garage to overwinter because they didn’t late completely outside for me in winters past.

    I love your spreadsheet idea. Side note… what is hose that you use for watering? Do you have an Amazon link!

      It was the most recommended flexible hose and so far I really like it!

    What potting soils did you not like for your outdoor pots and raised beds? I have had great luck with Coast of Maine's Bar Harbor blend but it's pricey when you have a lot pots and beds to fill. I've looked into Kelloggs container and raised bed mixes because they are almost half the price of Coast of Maine.

      Vigoro is the brand I avoid bc I had a bad experience, but I know other people like it. I heard different batches come from different places.
