The pink dogwood tree has the definite wow factor and the spring bulbs are incredibly pretty. Couldn’t agree with you more, blink and spring has passed you bye, I’m so focused on catching up with jobs I often forget just to stop and enjoy the moment. Your foxglove seedlings are looking brilliant, mine have just germinated so I’ve got some catching up to do.
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind note. I have been enjoying watching you add to the Quarry garden. You will laugh when I tell you not one primrose seed germinated this season. Go figure!
I love to watch how your garden has developed over time, its spectacular! I am enjoying watching my garden come to life also, it brings me such peace and joy 😊
Thanks so much. I am amazed how quickly things change. It reminds me to appreciate and love the journey of creating a garden space. We are so lucky to have gardens.
Love, love your sooting, inspiring videos, Sue. And I also love your devotion to your mother. There is nothing greater than caring for those who cared for us. We’ve had a lovely spring in Kentucky too. I can’t wait to get in my garden each morning. I begin with a walkabout, looking for something new. I pull a few weeds and make plans for what I want go accomplish that day in the garden. It is my peace.
Hi Peggy and thanks for your kind note. Your garden routine and morning walks sounds exactly like how I love to start my day. Kentucky is the most beautiful place.
I agree about Spring.. once I became a gardener, this season in particular took on a whole new meaning. Where I am, we don't get a "big" Spring, as Winter hangs on every year and then we slam into summer temps. But I do enjoy it, with all it's activity & hope!
Happy Spring. I hope you get a chance to enjoy it before the high temperatures come. It's amazing how quickly things change in our gardens. Thanks for your kind note.
Isn't it incredible how many shades of green you can find in your garden? And they are all beautiful. Thanks for your note and reminding me to keep my eyes peeled for all that green too.
You’re right-there’s so much to see in the Spring garden, including the stubborn weeds poking through, attempting to blend in with the plants. Thanks for the reminder to enjoy our garden spaces! Enjoyed your video! 💕
Hi Sue, Everything is looking so fresh and beautiful in your garden. Spring goes by very fast where I live too, and everyday I make a point to take time to walk around my garden and see what’s blooming and what’s coming up. I also enjoy all the little critters that find sanctuary in my garden. I love how alive the garden feels with all the plants and animals and it hums with their song. Thank you for sharing. Happy gardening.
Welcome back!! Now my Spring is in swing. I adore your videos with a good cup of coffee. I enjoy every little thing about your videos. Completely perfect. I don't have the vocabulary to explain the joy you give me with your garden and your mom. I thank you for sharing and caring enough to share. hugs and best warm thoughts from 6a Pennsylvania .
Thank you for another wonderful tour of your gardens. I feel a similar philosophy of gratitude for our little piece of land and the gift of being able to work with nature to make something beautiful. Your videos always inspire and calm me.
I am located in zone 6A in Nova Scotia Canada. Your garden, also in zone 6A, is so far ahead of us here in south east NS. Hard to believe we are both in zone 6A. The leaves are not even open here on May 5 on any tree species. Forsythia is in bloom now. Daffodils just bloomed last week, allium not bloomed yet. Tulips were all eaten by deers. Dandelions are in bloom, lol. Always enjoy a tour of your garden, it is truly beautiful and inspiring.
Isn't it amazing how the timing of plants is different even though we are both in Zone 6A. You are much further north. I bet it is absolutely stunning in your area. Happy Spring to you!
Glad to see your native plants are doing well. I added native spring ephemerals to my native yard, last fall, for the first time. It’s great seeing them all coming up, when everything else is still sleeping.
I have a few natives in the front garden that are also starting to make an appearance. I am happy that I added these to my garden. Thanks for your kind note.
Thank you so much! I am trying to soak up all that Mom time. Time just goes by so quickly. We both love gardening so it is a lot of fun to do the seeds together.
Thank you for sharing your Garden Tour. Being from California it’s always so interesting to me to see the way dormant gardens wake up in the spring. Even with our pretty consistent warm weather, your gardens really burst forth with growth much faster than mine. I think it’s because of the big swings in temperature. Here in California we have been wet and cool this spring and last. So things have been slow to take on much growth. Thanks again for showing your beautiful garden.
Thanks so much for your note. It must be wonderful to garden year round. I have to admit, I enjoy the winter rest and it makes Spring that much more exciting. I appreciate you being here.
Sue, your garden is so beautiful and inviting. I love the paver walk tour (at 3:50) with all of the enchanting spring blooms and foliage as well as the native woodland walk. After watching your video, I am smiling and ready to go outside to lose myself in my own garden ☺
Thank you. Don't you just love those forget-me-nots? They do not last long, but boy are they pretty. I go look at them every day to soak them up while they are blooming. The blue color is so pretty.
Thank you so much! This was the first year I did a seed starting challenge and it was so fun! I will definitely try to do it again next season and I hope you can join us.
Happy spring from the Skagit Valley in Washington State! I also love wandering the garden. When it's too cold or wet, I'm gazing out the windows dreaming of what I'll do next. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your sweet mom with us. Makes me weepy every time I see her. Mine has been gone for a few years now and seeing your mom touches my heart. Enjoy the moments. Sending love and well wishes from Sedro Woolley Washington!
Thanks so much for your note. I am sorry to hear you lost your Mom. I appreciate your kind wishes. You most definitely live in a beautiful gardening area in Skagit Valley. Happy gardening!
I love your videos and reminder to enjoy the garden. Many times when I watch other UA-cam gardeners, I feel compelled I have to run to the nearest garden nursery store to get that exact same plant . Spring is the most beautiful time of the year and you are correct, it will go by in a flash if we don’t “pay attention” ! I start off every morning inspecting what came up or opened up ! 🥰👏🇨🇦
I love that idea of starting each day with a quick inspection of what came up in the garden. That is a great way to approach Spring for sure! Thanks for your note.
Hi Sue! Your garden is so beautiful! I am hoping to add some of the native chelone to my garden this season. Your silver sage looks incredible! I thought it was an annual. I'm so glad it returned for you in your garden. I will try growing this one next season.
Spring has always been my favorite time of year, even when I was kid. I had a blast making "mud pies". So sweet to see your Mom potting up seedlings with you. 😊
When you showed the woodland anemone I gasped because I can’t get rid of it 😅. There was one year those and pink spiderwort bloomed together and it was beautiful for a short time, but both can take over like crabgrass or those plantain hostas 😏. The sage looks like snow they are so bright. The neighbor has a nice flowering tree over the fence that looked neon. It has been a very nice spring that we have not had for a long time. I have a 5/12 frost date and I’ve planted peppers already with frost cloth and plastic on standby. Love the statue, it all looks very nice. Your mom must have been a great gardener. Say hi and a hug for your mom. Today would have been my MIL’s birthday. I think it will be a great growing season. Oh, I had a laugh about the robin. Ours built in the eave trough right over the drain 🙄 and she complained the ladder wasn’t behind the shed so the next best place was our house. I think she gets too hot there and hopefully not flooded. Those little shovelers figured out I have worms in the garden now😅.
What a great garden tour, you are absolutely right about taking time to be in your garden. This is my favorite time because everything is just waking up and it’s always so exciting to see. I am always in awe every time I see something coming out of dormancy. Thank you for another great video.
Hey friend, Thanks so much. I am amazed at all the seedlings you have growing this season. How exciting. You are going to have a busy Spring getting all those beautiful plants into your garden. How fun!!
@@GardenMoxie I’m going to plant some things out today. Hopefully they will be ok, I know from experience we might get one last frost, but I’ve been checking the ten day and it looks good. How are you doing? When will you be planting?
@@Marisol6975 I am going to start moving some of the cooler crops and winter sowing outside this week. I'm hardening off things as well. I think this season we are lucky without a lot of cold.
Another great video. So calming! Please keep making these. You're an inspiration especially since I'm in the same climate zone (just across the Detroit River).
We also went all in on trout lilies choosing white for our woodland spaces - bunchberry is beginning to grow as a groundcover - spring ephemerals proving more tricky but had great luck with trillium twin leaf and VA bluebells in some areas. Bloodroot is hardest to get going here in our New England garden
I could not agree more this is the time of year when I really appreciate the garden I had to work and wait so long for to enjoy. That first tree, the cornelian cherry is really a site to behold -- BTW I really found siting the turtle head tricky - too much shade, it can flop here in New England Zone 6 A.
Thanks for the tip on the turtle head. I will have to keep you posted on how this white bloomer does in the garden. It is definitely sitting in a shady corner in my garden. I appreciate your note.
@@GardenMoxie NB According to Tracy Aust Chelone will not bloom if Chelsea chopped - thereby controlling height is not so simple - and FYI with the relentless rain here, it not only flops but gets hit with powdery mildew particularly in shadier spots…
@@emmalavenham I am looking forward to seeing how the plant does this season. This will be the first full growing season for that native turtlehead. I will keep you posted.
I saw your other message where you watched my hornbeam video and got your answers. Thanks for watching the video. These trees have been a great add to the garden. They are higher maintenance because I need to prune them twice a year, but I love them. They were too big to manage, but we did dig the planting holes ourselves to save a little money.
They are the most awesome thing I have in the garden. I paid a welder to make them up for me. They are for my Annabelle hydrangeas which a terrible floppers in the garden. The supports work great. They are based on a standard peony support just much bigger.
Agree with everything you said--especially how important it is to take time from the work of the garden to sit in it, be still and take it all in.
I love to just sit and listen to the birds. Especially the finches. It's like having a secret get away from the crazy world. Thanks for your note.
Thank you for sharing another tranquil garden tour, and reminding us to take time to enjoy our hard work.
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. I am amazed how fast everything is changing over here.

Thank you. I'm sorry about your Mom. That is why I am trying to soak up every chance I can.
Peace and quiet truly one of the great joys of our gardens! Your garden once again is looking beautiful Sue! 💚
Thanks so much Cheri. I'm so glad it's garden season again.
Good morning, Sue! 😃 The garden looks amazing 💚

Thanks so much. I've got some serious grasses that are poking up all over this Spring. Happy gardening!
Sue, you do such a great job of beautiful design using natives, perennials, and other shrubs and trees. How inspiring!
Thanks so much. Last season was the first year I started adding a lot more natives to the garden. I am excited to see how they do.
