Go BIG or go home!!! Please, please don’t forget to show regular updates; watching what happens to all the planter’s cohabitants this summer is going to be so much fun! Thank you, Erin! 😊
Agree! Yes, PLEASE. Erin!!!
Banana #1 should be known as The Top Banana.
Your creativity with planters is so much fun to. watch. You never do what everyone else is doing and I love that!
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the breeze doesn’t uproot Chiquita before tomorrow morning!!!
Oh la! la! My goodness this planter is going to be a winner this year.
"It's Banana Time!" LOL!
Nailed it!!!! That is gorgeous. I’m embarrassed about my sad little banana plant, lol.
A possible name for Original Banana, What about "Dole"? You would have a Dole banana and a Chiquita banana. Just a thought
Lol 😂 "Hang in there Chiquita". I love my banana plants in Texas. Looks great.
Erin, I love you and your gardening techniques in addition to your relaxed personality! You don’t appear to take yourself so seriously, but show a great deal of gardening knowledge and confidence ❤❤❤
Love this container too. All the different plants adds so much interest.
Yay Chiquita is back!,🍌🌱. She’s stunning and gets more beautiful every year! ❤
You are the most creative person I've ever seen with planters...not to mention your gardens. Can't wait to see this in August.
Love how chiquita looks like she’s waving at us with her fronds in the breeze 😊
Love how you throw in sailing terms into your gardening.
My husband just walked by and said "Wow, that's a BIG container"! 😆
I watch your videos for this very reason. You come up with the most creative and unusual plant combinations in your containers. This one is going to be a another stunner!
You nailed the colors with this one. Can’t wait to watch it grow up and fill out
Your container planting this year has inspired me to do some non traditional planting in mine. I am interested to see the progress of the banana and all its companions. The original banana was so interesting to watch thrive 🎉
GO, Fiona! If she’s Fiona then #1 needs to be Shrek. Maybe you haven’t seen the movie? Either way, I’m rooting for them both to be glorious. Your container game has gone to the next level lately. I’ve always loved them and modeled some of mine after yours but this one is spectacular. Can’t wait to see the progress updates.
Your planters are always so fun. Not your ordinary planter. Super style. Love it. 💗💗💗
Nothing shy about that planter! Wowza!
Yay!!! Banana time! What a gorgeous planter you put together, and if Chiquita is anything like the other one, she ain't gonna be little, that's for sure. So fun! Thanks for sharing with us!
Erin I bought a banana plant and now I need a bigger pot😃 love your ideas💕💕💕
Love those bromeliads! So fun to see some out-of-the-box and adventurous planting!
Awesome Erin, looking forward to seeing this pot explode with growth and color! 🤩
Return of the Bananas!
👏 Anxious to know where you’ll put #1
C’mon Fiona 👏💪
Now that is some real 🐒business. Keep monkeying around! You are an inspiration.
So excited to see this planter progress! Grow little Fiona sunrise jasmine,grow!!!
Gorgeous!!! Love that banana and the bromeliads! Go Fiona Sunrise!!! Go banana!
Welcome Chiquita! Looking for forward the progress on this beautiful pot arrangement!
I LOVE this combination of plants!! Will be exciting to see how it all grows over the summer. Should be a bright spot in your Sunday strolls through the garden. 😊♥️
Chiquita Banana in that gorgeous planter with view of climbing hydrangea in the background equals chefs kiss if I ever saw one.
Someone in the city of Menomonee Falls must have seen your banana plant as I saw 3 banana plants in the median strip on Appleton Ave. When I saw the plants, I immediately thought of you.
Chiquita and Fiona 👏👏👏 Thanks for sharing 👍❤️🙂
Beautiful planter, chiquita banana, and the other plant selections, They are the bees knees.
Chiquita Banana looks spectacular! I hope you’ll show us the planting of Top Banana soon.
Those colors are stunning Erin, and I don't know where you find all those amazing plants with such different textures but we sure don't have them around here. Chiquita is going to be one big, flat-out gorgeous woman by Fall. Thanks for sharing.
Ooo such a tropical flair with the banana and bromeliads 🤩 love it and all the foliage colors!
What a fantastic combination! Looking forward to seeing how this grows. 💚😊💚
Love all the textures along with foliage colors. Will enjoy following its progress.❤
You have taught me to have fun with containers. Can’t wait to see it fill in around beautiful Chiquita. I planted a sunshine ligustrum two years ago in northeast Ohio and it’s doing great.
Really enjoying your much increased presence this season.
Go Fiona! Go Fiona! Looking forward to updates! Gorgeous at the get-go!
I love Missy Chiquita ♡♡♡ You're making me want a banana 😂
Ha! Love that you mix it up in containers (and the garden truth be told). If you’re calling 2.0 Chiquita, I think 1.0 needs a name too. I nominate “Hannah”.
I love the dark purple-burgundy colors with the lime greens and peachy-corals❣️ 😘. I found a pot with two Abyssinian bananas in it last year and called them Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. They grew in the same pot last year and this year they are separated in the ground. 🙃
Erin, you might have to temporarily stake that banana. Colorful! Excited to see that pot grow. My banana is smaller, but will grow! ❤
Absolutely gorgeous. Even while you were explaining what you were going to plant my brain was going hum not sure about this one. But MY WORD ... STUNNING ..
LOVE IT🎉
Go Fiona Sunrise …. LOL on the banana series I’ve been watching for a while and the bananas have a mind of their own. 😂
Thanks for mixing it up and giving us new ideas for our planters. I don't doubt there is and/or will be a run on banana trees at the local nurseries and big box stores because of your videos! 😊
Your yard is beautiful. Great place for a wedding or a garden party.
Excited to see how Chiquita does! Enjoy your channel
Summer is officially here when Erin brings out the bananas! Loving all the colour in that planter. So fun. I am stealing your “recipe” to brighten up some of my planters - I need something that will show up in our Nova Scotia fogbank. 😂
This is the huge pot I've seen so far and it's absolutely beautiful with all the plants combinations! go go Banana Chiquita!
❤😊 excited. it's Banana time.
Thanks Erin, I can’t wait to see that container fill in ! 💐💚🙃
Love the bromeliads. They are stunning grouped together. Love how you got the colors nailed with all the plants. And I love your choice of music. It's fun, which is what gardening is all about.
Alright, mine wintered over good. I have an old cast-iron cauldron in my yard I planted it in. Looking forward to seeing Chiquita #1 & 2. Happy planting.
OMG! Erin, those bromiliads!!!
That’s one fun planter. Loads to look forward to. Exciting!
Chiquita is a big girl!
Thank you, Erin. 😊
I love Chiquita!
I'm excited to see the progress of this planter!!
That is a wow wee planter! Love it! 🌿🌿🌿 🍌
Banana time! WOO-HOO
My goodness, Erin! 😳😍😍Gorgeous planter.
I was hoping to see the backside of the container 😢. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses. Very interesting combination.
I think you nailed all the colors that are displayed in the banana leaves alone. It will be fun to see how everything fills out.
Wow! You packed in so many interesting plants. It's so lush.
I actually love Mahogany Splendor Hibiscus and Ligustrum for using in cut flower arrangements!
Wow nice❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You may have outdone yourself this year! Love it and love all your "experimentation" with your pots this year. Going to be so fun to watch them "grow up"!!!
I sure enjoy your videos and enthusiasm. Looking forward to another great container. Love the variety of plants!
Can’t wait to see the planter in 1 to 1 1/2 mths. It will be quite the look! As for the bananas… should we call them The Banana and Chiquita?
I use Sunshine Lugustrum in my southern garden as an accent plant. I have them in a very sunny border about 15 ft apart in with mostly dark green bushes and roses and dahalias.
Jim Putnam calls bagged potting soil “death in a bag!”
I can’t wait to see this one grow together! It looks beautiful already! I have totally been into the “sunset/sunrise” colored plants the last 2 years! I am crossing my fingers for you and that banana today though! This wind is brutal! I found one of my favorite plants snapped off. And an oriole nest fell out of its tree. 😢
Erin I did those same colors in the front of my house. 😂 It looks beautiful! That pot is going to be stunning! Can’t wait to see it in a month! 🙌🏻
Erin You have the best music selections !!
We need a Bananna cam 🎉
Little Chiquita 😂🍌
Love the container mix, it is so colorful and fun!
Beautiful pot! Colors are striking!
Fantastic sunrise coloured planter 🌞
Will be entertaining watching that box fill in. All my hopes and prayers are with Fiona Sunrise 😂
We’ve got your back Fiona 🧡 🥰
Can’t wait to watch this fill in
Wow, you fill a pot 👍💕💕
Love this planter. Going to find a Fiona sunrise
Absolutely here for the banana plant love the Chiquita. I’ll have to find a name for my banana plant and then of course we need updates as well as we need the video on when you bring banana one out.
Hi! I'm in Oklahoma, zone 7. I also grow red mohogamy hibiscus. I take cuttings of mine before the first frost. They root easily in water and the cuttings bloom indoors for me!
Name for banana one? Top Banana, of course!
My mind is blown that the root ball is so small with that size growth on the banana.
I live in South Carolina and my banana trees stay in the ground. They are very hearty and produce lots of new trees. When they produce bananas, they die, but you have the replacements growing.❤
Really loved the color combos and textures ❤
That’s going to be fabulous!
Love the tropicals 😊
You inspired me to have a giant cedar planter made so I could attempt to do something similar. Not sure I'm too excited about the surrounding plants though. I kind of just used all my leftovers. I like your choices better.
Lolz i have a dwarf that will make bananas ... and a normal one that lives in the house... the house one literally is like a baby from the original that grew to be 6 foot tall before i rehomed it to a store
I would have just left the jasmines in their cans and buried the cans ...they'll probably grow faster if they get root bound and grow roots out of the bottom of the can. Just letting you know ive bought and lost a lot of jasmine over the years
Stephanotis is so hard to kill and blooms like non stop! Pink star is really hard to get going and to get to bloom but it smalls amazing! I've bought several types those 2 are the best
