I think that there is only one thing a gardener likes to do besides garden, and that is showing off their garden, and talking about their plants. When they exhaust their friends, they create a UA-cam channel
I know and third best is listening to another garden friend talk about their garden so I really like these casual strolls. I swear its my new favorite thing
Brie said to sow them around Thanksgiving time when it is cold I did from a cheap pack I bought at the dollar store, it also self seeds and I was afraid of moving them, am going to collect some seeds and put them where it is needed
I enjoy this video a lot more as there are more long or wide shots and it showed the garden and design. Love seeing the layout and design of a garden in the property as much as seeing the plants
Love your garden strolls! How have I missed putting in alliums?!? And yes, the Japanese beetles have made it up to Canada too, Zone 4b. They always head for my rugosa type roses, but never bother the 2 'Canadian Shield' or the Explorer series 'John Cabot'. If anyone wants to have success with a rose, I highly recommend the 'Canadian Shield'. Lovely deep red tea type flowers on a shrub/climber. It's very hardy, flowers early, profusely, and until frost! Even the deer leave it alone. [Didn't mean to sound like an ad, but this one is the most rewarding rose I've ever grown!] Happy gardening!
Wow, Japanese Beetles in zone 4b. I wouldn’t have thought they reached that far into CA. I live in the US/Mass zone 6b and they showed up last week. I’m sure theres lots of damage to come.
I am a Midwestern gardener, used to seeing verbascum growing along roadsides. I was very surprised to see it featured in the beautiful gardens of Chatsworth in England. Maybe you could let yours live on in your space?
I laughed out loud to see gardeners world oohing and ahhing over pokeweed one morning. I'm ok with them taking it. I'm still salty about all the ivy they gave us
Hi Erin, thanks for all your gardening wisdom. I'm in z5b/6a Massachusetts so a similar climate. Please consider doing a favorite plant portion in each of your garden strolls, or at least seasonally. Maybe your top 3 performers for early spring, spring, early summer, etc. This sure would help me select plants to use in my limited space. Just an idea.
Really i think your problem with the sweet potatoes is simply they love high heat and humidity and you have been cool and wet. For me in michigan the ornamental ones I use in containers really dont do much til mid-end of july and august is when they just explode with growth, September too if we continue to stay warm
Those Poppies and that first Dogwood in the video are just breathtaking. Erin, you don't need to edit your garden strolls - just post them because the plants speak for themselves - so stunning!
I put my big white mop head hydrangea in a playpen 😉 I put a wire leaf composter around it a few years ago and that holds it upright nicely, with the green wire disappearing as it grows taller.
Just love walking around your garden. Being unedited feels like a friend touring together. Feel like getting a coffee or depending on the hour a glass of wine. Enjoy your day and good luck planting. 😊
Everything is looking so good Erin!. I have been seeing a difference in what UA-cam shows me. It is not always my subscriptions, Thanks for the tips about liking and commenting. Happy summer to you.
Ooh that double pink Poppy! 😍 I don't know if you filmed removing the Ensete Maurelli last Fall , I'll have to go back and see. Oh how I love these but Boy are they a chore pulling to over Winter! I have 4 of them that get planted in big square containers out front (underpanted with chartreuse sweet potato vine). I don't know about you but I was laid up the next day after removing these from their containers. LOL Their root ballsl are massive! Been doing it for 4 years now. After I remove all the leaves I peel off the layers to make the bulb smaller ( yes just like an onion). I figure that those layers won't ever produce leaves again so I remove them. I then place them in 12" pots with promix and bring them indoors. I do keep them alive. I learned after putting them in dormancy in my basement one year that it setthem soo far back the following Spring. It took them forever to get going so now I just keep them alive inside. I remove leaves through out Winter. Then in April I let the leaves go. I Don't place them outside until 3rd week in May here in Rochester NY. Then get placed in there big square containers 1st week of June. They are some work but do enjoy them. I remove them on a Friday so that I have the wknd to rest. 😂 I submitted my garden space to GA 'beauful gardens' feature and Laura loved it. Such a proud moment to have my frontscape shown across the world via YT.( my 15 minutes of fame. 😂 ) I really enjoyed your garden tour. Thank you.
Right now in Z5a, WI the mosquitoes are Really Bad! Sooo much rain! I can’t even get outside because of rain or mosquitoes or both. Wearing a head net, glasses and sweating is not a fun thing. Today the sun is trying to peek out but there is rain for Sunday to Wednesday. Glad for sandy soil. I could handle gardening in the drought over gobs of rain and there were no mosquitoes. We need sun and some wind to get rid of them. So when I see shrubby areas I cringe 😅. Love that dogwood and not sure it would survive just north of you-sigh. The J beetles are appearing in two to three a rose. I was hoping there might be less this year as I’m seeing less potato beetles and others.
We have Japanese Beetles every year in Baltimore 8a, I don't do anything, I just let them take over for the time that they're active and then the plants rebound for the rest of the summer. Love the garden strolls Erin!
I grow sweet potatoes in 10 gallon grow bags. Mine this year looked like that at first. I just kept watering everyday with a hose now they finally started to grow. I blamed it on the cicadas. Everything was slow this year. I am in northern IL.
Okay my takeaway is to plant more penstemon!! And to get all the straggler unplanted plant materials sitting in huddles in the shade into the ground by July 4th!!!
Funny you were talking about racing! I was in Chicago last weekend and was inspired to go to the Chicago Botanic Garden. All because I started gardening during the pandemic. But while at a wedding reception on a private beach in Rogers Park, a bunch of boats were racing back to Chicago from Waukegan. Evidently not your race. And last night, my daughter raced in the annual Around the Islands race in Bayfield with a record time. They finished in 7.5 hours. Last year it took them around 30 hours. Just a windy year all around, I guess. Sail on!
Your planters are perfection! I love the mix of plants you use. The bird sounds like a Carolina Wren. Tiny birds with a big voice. They nest in unusual places. (On a shelf on my deck.) Thanks for sharing the beauty of your garden with us!
this is the best format. I enjoy the realty of it all. let us know if you solve the rabbit issue. if that size dog doesn't scare them, I don't think my old lady will.
It’s their home, too. At least that’s what I tell myself. (Of course I also have city rats) I actually got tulip bulbs to survive and bloom-was it from cloaking them in hot red pepper flakes? I do make a hot pepper tea and spray the plants in the spring. I think it helps the curious ones to avoid the plants.
I love your poppies. I planted one poppy this year and it slowly wilted away. I'm sad. Next year I'll try in a different spot. I'm seeing lots of earwigs this year. They are chewing holes in everything. Your lilies are going to be gorgeous when they bloom.
Midnight masquerade penstemon perhaps? I have a bunch and love them! Your dogwood is sooo beautiful! I would love to find a place in my garden for one. Everything looks beautiful! I have to watch the video through again and take some plant notes. I love how you use clematis…a definite add to my garden.🩷💚
Hi Erin! I don’t know if this interests you as a topic, but I would love to hear about where you buy your large containers, how you get them home, cost if you’re comfortable sharing, etc. I am thinking of adding several large containers and would love to know your thoughts on sourcing. Also, like you I’m in a cold climate (zone 4b/5a) so keeping them safe in winter. Love the tour as always!
Love the garden strolls! I’m in de Michigan so a little warmer than you but we would grow the same garden! Being frustrated with animals eating my plants. We have deer chipmunks and groundhogs! Even eating coneflower and lantana!!!
I love your unedited garden strolls! They’re so real, and I appreciate that. Your gardens are beautiful, as always.😍 What I cannot get over is the fact that you are wearing a long sleeve; I’m in zone 8a, hot, humid Mississippi, so I’m a little jealous right now.😂🥵
Love these garden strolls! I think we all are better with less editing and more “life as is.” Thanks for all your efforts to keep us updated, Erin. Your garden is stunning!
LOVE your strolls. We don't need perfection just inspiration. 💕 This year is a new experience for me. My husband and I moved to another state. Our son said I could garden in his front landscape bed. BAD soil (clay) and in ground sprinklers. Such a challenge. Plants in but not growing much. Fingers crossed friends. Love looking at your hosta. Had hail here last week and my son's hosta look terrible. I'm taking them out next year. Learning experience for sure.
On your slate and gravel walkway, there is a non toxic sealer (spray), non- skid, you can spray on to keep the little stones in place. I saw it on a You tube short where someone did it over their commercial bark mulch & also stone. I used the leftover Behr concrete sealer in high gloss that we used on our front patio (surrounded by plants) on a new sloped walkway we made that looks exactly like your configuration: slate slabs with small rounded pebbles. It looks amazing!! We just poured straight from the jug into a sprayer--easy!
My takeaways from this video: I need more poppies in the garden and sunscreen on my eyelids 😁
🤣
@@TheImpatientGardener
And PSA: sunscreen on the neck right down to the t-shirt line. You'll thank me when you're pushing 60. 😊
😂😂😂😂😂
Same with the poppies, I only have a orange looking colour ones ❤
That rosey teacups dogwood continues to be a stunner!

I planted a Prince Charles this May and to my surprise it pushed 5 blooms after some very rapid growth!
That dark red maroons poppy is awesome
Yes! I wish we knew the name.... I don't have good luck with poppies, but I must admit I haven't really tried them very much either.
Brie said to sow them around Thanksgiving time when it is cold I did from a cheap pack I bought at the dollar store, it also self seeds and I was afraid of moving them, am going to collect some seeds and put them where it is needed
@@verawallace9055 May I ask what zone you are in? Also: do you bury the seed, or just scatter them?
@@snu3877 Am in zone 7b New York , very cold in the winter time , just rake the soil a little and scattered them like mother nature would
The bird you hear is a house wren! Love the Rosey Teacups Dogwood, going to have to try and find one for my yard. Penstemon-midnight masquerade.
Thank you, was wondering 😂
I enjoy this video a lot more as there are more long or wide shots and it showed the garden and design. Love seeing the layout and design of a garden in the property as much as seeing the plants
YES!!!!
The poppies and feverfew. Perfection!!!!
I think that bird is a Carolina wren. Sweet birds, tiny but loud song 🍃🤗❤️
They’re one of my favorites, but my cat thinks they’re annoying 😂
I think so too!
Carolina Wrens are happy little birds
Most cheerful song ever!
Carolina wren
What’s to edit? Your videos always seem perfect to me and having more of your garden wisdom is really priceless.
Really enjoying these garden strolls and the format. Thank you!

Finally got some rain in southeast PA so I’m extra excited to watch this garden stroll!
That’s where I am too, finally!

Yes! Mine have taken off like crazy after 2weeks of hot humid - that’s what they want!!! It’s just too nice in Wisconsin this year!!!!!😊
The bird is a Carolina Wren. New to us here in New Hamphire as of a couple of years ago. Such a beautiful sound in the garden!
LOve the wrens, Carolina and house.
Beautiful looking garden, its a pollinators dream.
"This portion of garden is perfect, right now, at least to my eyes" 🤣 that was so cute
Those Poppies and that first Dogwood in the video are just breathtaking. Erin, you don't need to edit your garden strolls - just post them because the plants speak for themselves - so stunning!
Midnight masquerade penstemon. Love the poppies!! And the Dogwood!!😍
Love everything but those poppies and feverfew combo is perfection!
Such a beautiful garden ❤ greetings from Poland 😊
My Blueberry muffin hosta looks great with its blooms. I could kinda take or leave the other ones but the hummingbirds like them
My experience with Sweet Alyssum is that it really excels in the autumn.
Love strolling with you in your garden Erin! Thanks for taking me along :)!
Loving these weekly update walk & tours! Thanks for the shout out 😀 Hope your eyelids heal 🩹👩🏽🌾🌸
I get notifications and never have ever missed a video 🎉
Never apologize. I love your garden.
That color is gorgeous on you

These strolls are the best! Love to see the changes. I now need clematis!!!
Would love to see a video for how you prune and train the honeysuckle onto itself! Love what you do, beautiful garden.
That job needs to happen this weekend!
Another great garden tour today as usual beautifully put together
It’s a Wren 🎶
such a beautiful garden. i envy your rain. i'm in the desert. 114.6 right now, before 11am.
Everything is looking so good Erin!. I have been seeing a difference in what UA-cam shows me. It is not always my subscriptions, Thanks for the tips about liking and commenting. Happy summer to you.

Beautiful 🌼🐝
The dogwood + your door color= on point! Did you plan that?
Let’s say yes. 😉

Nice video tour!
My 1st time to watch...lovely video!♡
Midnight masquerade penstemon? I love your garden strolls!
I grew the Mini Me Watermelon coleus with Cherry Cordial begonias and a red salvia in a container last year and it was wonderful. Great combination!

Fabulous!!
The bird song you commented on is a house wren. They eat lots of bugs in your garden!
Sounds like a House Wren!
My banana I over wintered like you did and just this week I'm finally getting good leaves. Michigan
I've been getting your videos on my feed but I watch them all pretty much lol
You are lucky. I cannot get poppies to grow for me to save my life! Lol
Also a huge fan of Etoile Violette. I have it scrambliing up a big tree -- some years more successfully than others. Thanks for another great stroll!
Sweet potatoes like it hot. The clematis is beautiful and love the Blue Prelude.
Absolutely beautiful indeed!
Thanks for sharing.
I must say your Sun kiss looks very becoming...😎
I have serious clematis envy! I just can’t figure out what they need in my garden. Everything looks lush and beautiful Erin!
Your bird is a house wren, they're tiny but they have a big voice!
Love your tours and unedited are the absolute best! Also, I need that Dogwood in my life!😊
