I love the Pagoda trees in the planters - man o man! Great pivoting!
I love seeing you do your work in the garden unlike a lot of blogs videos...I would just like to look that good all the time your hair is beautiful in on the Hair Designer and your make up looks nice too and your clothing of course
Love it! This was a true blessing in disguise. This is why I normally don’t like to grow rose bush. They never do well in my area.
I love it! Thanks for the "pivot" laugh too. I think I am going to like the tree in there much better. Lots of height and a screen too....kinda peeking thru a view is nice to me. Love it!
The pivot is such a good point to make... but love the other point about investing in pots. This is necessary and valuable encouragement to drop that coin. Thanks!!
I used to have trouble with roses, too. Then I discovered the Canadian bred Explorer series roses, which were bred specifically for surviving severe winters without any protection (some down to zone 2) There's a handful of varieties, look them up and see if you like any!
2 seconds in I’m dying. PIVAT. Can’t wait to watch.
Love those dogwoods! I might try this at our cottage
Very interesting idea. I do Love Dogwoods . Thanks for sharing
The dogwoods look fantastic in those pots. I agree, the height was needed. I love blue lobelia. The blue just glows. I have it mixed with euphorbia at the base of my potted clematis.
I can tell we’re in the same general age bracket (I assume) b/c you cannot say ‘pivot’ to a Gen X’er without an angry Ross popping into our heads 😂
“Now that’s a 🔪 knife!” (nod to crocodile 🐊 dundee) 💚🌱
Oh that would have been perfect to drop in there. That is such a handy movie quote.
Well done, you! 👏 The new planting is lovely and those trees look perfect in their new home.
For roses, check for canadian explorer roses. They resist extreme cold. Roses in container are sometimes a struggle. The shrubs are very nice in your pots!
Lovely combination. Really 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh my gosh you are too funny, first cup of coffee and I am Laughing Pivit! Good advice sometimes you just can't keep swimming up stream and we need to rethink the plan.
Great one, Erin! I love that pivot! I'm sure they will be gorgeous. I have wanted roses for my garden for so long, but our deer presence here is so heavy, I have shied away. We use Bobex every 2 weeks religiously, just to keep them at bay. Love the pot tip! I'm pretty picky when it comes to pots, and will pass them up if not the right shape or color. I'm going to read that blog, and try it!
Great pivot indeed!! Such a lovely tree, I'd plant it too if I had a proper garden (not just containers) and lived in a cooler climate. It looks perfect in that spot.
Have a wonderful weekend!! ☺️
I LOVE the trees in the containers! They seem perfect for the space. And yes "PIVOT!" seems the way of life lately and the way in a garden lots of times. Thanks for the inspiration, the chuckles, and the information!❤
Pivot!!😆🤣 I love it! The pots look great! Good shift from the roses 👍🏼
Just moved from zone 7 to 9, and there’s no plant I miss more than my pagoda dogwood. Very envious. But the trade off is that our roses will thrive as soon as we fence out the deer! Beautiful combination as usual.
Fun, I love when pivots turn out for the better. Such encouraging words.
They look amazing!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Beautiful, love the pots and the plants🌾🌾🌾
so pretty! love that dogwood.
Ooh those came out very nice!
Really love those containers!! Looks beautiful!! 💗
Those look stunning. Sometimes we just need to admit that what we want from a plant/space just isn’t what is happening and make a change.
Love the trees, the flank the driveway beautifully!
I have two favourite trees , my first love is for pyramidal oak trees and my second is pagoda dogwoods. I have looked at buying large over wintering pots, but just haven’t been brave enough to spend that kind of money. I should put it on my Christmas list 🤔. Thanks for sharing , your dogwoods look great. 👍❤️😊
You make so much sense with what you say. I’m fighting an unhappy plant location now. Mother Nature will win, so I should just do what makes her happy, and I will be happy. Your trees are beautiful there. I absolutely love what you did. 💕🌸💕
That looks really good
Can’t wait to see the dogwood bloom, the video was informative and I love the layout of your property
The plantings look great!
Really nice demo! Think the change was great! And love the pottery!
They turned out so nice! 💜
Love it, the pots, the plants, the Virginia bluebells and the pup of course 🥰
Its amazing how just planting up pots can make such a difference. Its looks awesome Erin!
Always a great learning video while visiting with you. Thanks a lot.
Well done look very nice with the tree good choise love it 😀👌
Absolutely gorgeous!
Well that turned out to be lovely.
That is one of the best Friends episode ever! Those look amazing. I think you rocked it.
Love to see native plants used in the garden. And it’s a great tree.
Love the tree
The new trees look awesome!!
Love the change. I wish I could do dogwoods where I live. I just love them.💙🐝💙
Love them!! The pivot clips were gold lol
Fabulous idea!! I agree that the height was sorely needed and these dogwoods have such a beautiful habit that the effect will be gorgeous either in or out of bloom. Now - will you over-winter these in your garage as well? I’m assuming so...
And your sweet doggo with the blue bandana(?), lying there like such a good boy for the duration of the film. Mine would have been in and out of the pot, in and out of every bag out there, in and out of my face and would likely have knocked the camera from its tripod. 🤣🤣👍. Thanks again. Erin. Love your stuff.
I think that roses actually like a mild climate (Portland, OR, the city of roses: tons grow wild and most domestic need very little care.) In an earlier comment someone told about winter hardy bred roses...might be on to something...none the less, I think the dogwood is brilliant and wonderful!!
I love how they look and the pot staining tips, excellent. They make a great statement and I’d say meant to be. I still can’t give over pivat. 😂 Me and my friend Doug day this constantly.
thanks for the laugh! I've been working so hard on letting go of any expectations I had for where I would be in all my garden renovation projects, some days are better than others. The cold spring really has impacted many set flowers, it's been a strange season for peonies which are almost finishing up and all my early roses are slightly different colors. I love the dogwood choice and agree 100% about good containers, nice outlet find!
They turned out beautiful!
I like how simple yet the amount of impact these give. I've been thinking trees in pots myself since someone in my house doesn't want any trees in the yard 🙄🙄
I love how this turned out
That does look real nice to me. Can't wait for updates.
Beautiful!
Beautiful! I also love chartreuse color in my garden😍
Love it as always!!!
Beautiful! Love your plant choices and the height. Pivotal perfection 😁
LOVE it! Of course Dogwoods are my favorite tree!
looks great!
They look very nice 👍
Awesome PIVOT!!
Beautiful 🌷
YES! love those now :)
My type of container thriller!!!!!
great video with my morning coffee thank you
Love it!
Love them!
Pivot! Love it! Pivot away!
Many growers use a method called consolidation where pots are grouped outside and covered with a tarp, it may benefit you so nothing shocks coming out of a garage.
I really love how those trees look
I have a 4 or 5 year old single-trunk pagoda and it's 12 ft tall x 15 ft wide. Awesome trees/shrubs. Would highly recommend them for people up north. Never seen one in a container, might be interesting. For in-ground pagodas, make sure you give it room to spread out, because that's what it naturally wants to do. Will get very wide. Plus avoid pruning it as it looks best in it's natural state. You can prune, but only do it if you have to.
These won’t be long for these containers. I think three years is about the max they’ll be happy there and then they’ll get planted in the landscape, where I have others growing.
Love it 😍
Agree totally about roses here. I’m in Lake Country and have only had success with rugosas or the Canadian Explorer series, esp William Baffin or John Cabot. Some of these are thorny monsters so need lots of room and would not be good for containers but at least you have tons of rose blooms with disease resistance, hardiness etc. Oh to be able to grow a true English/David Austin rose..have lost too many even with elaborate coverings...
I have several David Austins that do well in the ground here. My William Baffin was a bore, very sporadic flowering, so he got the hook. And the Oso Easy roses also do well for me, but I don’t really consider them roses as there is no scent to speak of. As for roses in containers some do better than others but I haven’t cracked the code on why yet.
They look gorgeous Erin! It does all work out in the end doesn't it? I'm finding out that pruning the tips of woody perennials and shrubs stimulates growth and lessens transplant shock. The roots don't have to work as hard to hydrate entire plant. That is a beautiful entryway!
An excellent pivet!!! Love this look, will look great year round and you won't have to move heavy pots in and out of the garage. I thought both the pots and urn were cement, great job on the staining.
I'm desperate for some Pagoda and Venus Dogwood trees but trying my best to hold off until after I move. But what I am NOT holding back on is good pots! Those are always worth it, especially when moving. It means that prior to my house going under contract I can pull up another favorite plant and bring it with me =)
pretty!
roses tend to not do well in containers past a single season in some areas, the best option would be to keep them in the garage till they open completley or plant them int ground at the end ofthe season
i like it!!!
I just hate it when I receive root bound shrubs. I am always afraid of being too harsh detangling them. It was a good tutorial seeing how you handled it. What is annoying is nurseries that sell them in this condition. Price them so someone will purchase them before they get into that condition.
Always have wanted a pagoda dogwood in our yard and planting one in a planter is a great idea. I looked up the zone and they are a 3a will you leave them outside for the winter? I garden in a zone 5 as well. Also what size pots did you use. Thank you 🙏🏻
I love it, I think it’s going to be stunning. Thanks for the tip on containers, I need to invest in some. Do I spy merch up in the corner of my UA-cam screen?!
Yep! :)
Now that's a great pivot! Love dogwoods! That was a great choice over having to mess with the roses where they couldn't be themselves without a lot of help. Being the dogwoods are zone 3, can you just leave them in the pots outside for the winter? I don't do much of any container gardening, but that might be of interest to me, especially because I am SICK of losing expensive plants to voles! Also, what material are those pots made from?
You crack me up.
Thanks for a great video. Will you have to put these pots in the garage for the winter?
I don't know yet. The dogwoods are hardy enough that they should be able to survive in the container, and I believe those containers are frost resistant, but they can't stay where they are in winter (snow removal issues), so they will either have to go in the garage or be moved to somewhere out of the way. I think I'd prefer to leave them out of the garage if possible.
Good Morning, How perfect to have you discuss Roses in pots. I have two climbing roses from Heirloom and want to plant in pots but not sure what size pot to plant them in. I was wondering if you could recommend a size pot. Love your show. Thank you
I have another video from a couple weeks ago in which I plant (other) roses in pots. I think 16” is about that minimum for a single rose but bigger is better.
Not sure if I missed the comment,, but will you have to bring these into the garage to over winter them like you did with the roses?
I was about to ask that too
Thank you for making this video - I am also thinking of growing the Pagoda dogwood in a similar zone (zone 5 in Toronto). How is your Pagoda Dogwood thriviing? I wouild love to see a new picture of it after a year. I don't have a way to store them so it will be out in the winter. Also, what are the stones? you use to prop the planter up to allow good drainage? Thank you - i am very new at planting but in desperate need of some green plant.
That bet you lost with Laura - did you make a video on what you had to plant?
Stay tuned.
Hi Erin. Love this! ❤️ What is the diameter of your pots? And were the trees in 5 gallon pots?
I believe they are 24 inches in diameter. The trees were in 3-gallon pots (I think ... definitely smaller than 5-gallon).
Great pot! What's the blue flowering plant behind you?
Virginia bluebells, aka Mertensia virginica, just about finishing up. When the blooms fade I just chop them down and they don’t mind in the least.
I was turned on to your videos by Laura at garden answer and I absolutely love all of your videos thank you so much for all the great information and your beautiful garden love all your Hydrangea
I just got my 1st Limelight hydrangea Standard
Now to find a good pot for it
Because at this time I'm not sure where it would go in the ground and I'm going to have a swimming pool put and and I would love to have a be around that but should I get a pot and put it in that in the meantime I'm very nervous leaving it in the container I bought it in
Do you have any recommendations for soil considering it's going in a container should I just use potting soil or should I use tree and shrub soil
It is about 6' tall
I would love your help...
thank you so much
I'm in Dallas Texas
It's hot and humid been raining a bunch and our ground soil is horrid clay.. Again thank you so much For sharing your awesome garden and knowledge
We had a 3 day freeze in April this year and it did a number on many roses. I had to cut them back really hard.
For me, since my last frost date is Apr 30th, a mid-April frost wouldn't be unexpected. It was the frost we got the second week in MAY that annoyed most of us.
@@Bamboo4U2 what a bummer! Those late frosts drive me nuts!
❤️
What are the tall blue/purple plants behind your right side? Can’t see it well enough but love the look of them.
Virginia bluebells, aka Mertensia virginica. They are just finishing up and will be cut off soon.
Have you tried PLANTSKYDD for deer? Wish it worked as well for the dratted rabbits!
I’ve found that the granular Plantskyyd is the only thing that works for me for rabbits.
How are they doing? Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous! Made it through winter looking great.
@@TheImpatientGardener glad to hear it. I'm considering putting a Dogwood in. Not Pagoda but just a white Dogwood -- 20ft. tall. at maturity. What do you think?
