Welcome to Horticulture Geek. I love gardening, horticulture, homesteading, & nature. I grew up on a family farm/homestead in South Carolina. I have a Horticulture degree from Clemson University but outside of my personal garden I do not use it professionally. Gardening, can be an expensive hobby, so I shop around, look for bargains, check out the clearance racks, and do a lot of DIY to make my garden shine.
My Family and I live in Central Arkansas (Zone 7 B) in a regular suburban neighborhood. While I do not currently have the land or space to homestead or garden on a large scale, I do have a thriving potager garden. We do hope to one day buy a larger property to set up a proper homestead and raise more produce and get into Animals but until that comes please join me as I visit other gardens, Horticulture areas, and document my own garden throughout the year. Hopefully it will inspire others to get out, get their hands dirty, grow something, and go appreciate nature!

Beautiful project Sir! Beautiful backyard! Thank you! Great job!❤
Wow, Ray! Thank you for the wonderful tour of the beautiful gardens. You guys are so lucky down there. Kind regards. :0)
Nice job. Thanks for the ideas.
Wear gloves!
I shared this with my daughter today. She says she's gonna be your neighbor, but in the mountains.
I have planter that has an outside light pole in it. I managed to get the plant out of the container I am still left with some hard roots. Is there anything i can put on them to kill it so I can replant in the pot. It is extremely hard to get it out. I’d appreciate your input. Thank you
I use Stump and vine killer from Bonide. It’s available at most big box stores and works well. I also use a hand saw in these situations to cut the roots out of the container.
When you drill clay pots ,soak in water before drilling. This makes it easier and want break.
Thank you so much. Your son is the best!
You are so kind
Would a larger clay pot be better for stability? Just wondering.
The stability is really based on the shape of the pot and how much bottom surface it has. If the pot is too heavy adding water would be a challenge. But a larger pot that is a good stable pot would work well. The size of the fountain can be whatever fits your space. Hope this helps.
This was really cool!!
Ordered $20 worth of tea seeds (about 20 seeds) and not one seed germinated.
Sorry to hear that.
I didn’t know we could grow agave outside here.
They had several species around the property and they were beautiful.
This is exactly the video tutorial I have been needing!! Thank you so much for uploading, loved all the info and it wasn't too long! Gonna order my liners today 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
Great job, and a beautiful garden!
Thank you
I recommend getting a solar pump
You can prune and grow tea on a slant also. Think the side of a slope versus a tabletop. This will increase your yields by about 25%
Great tip. Thanks!
I loved this video
I love this plant . Am looking to cover a dead tree . I think it would be beautiful. I did this once in CA and it looked amazing. I am now however in Tx where the plants have to be Tx tough. Hoping this plant is tough enough to survive in San Antonio.
I've planted Supertunia's forever. Bubblegum is by far the most prolific bloomer. I usually plant my Bubblegum with Jazzberry and together they make a beautfiul arrangement. The new Saffron Finch also blooms constantly. I tried the new Hoopla this year and though it started off a bit slow, after a couple of weeks it just took off. One thing about Supertunia's is that they require quite a bit of water. No, you don't want to drown them and get root rot, but if you let them dry out where the foliage starts curling, sometimes you won't be able to bring them back to life. As strong as they appear to be, they don't like dry soil at all. Just something to be aware of.
Thank you for your tutorial. You back yard is amazing. I see lots of sweat equity. It is gorgouse. Thanks again
Hello ❤❤🎉🎉
I knew it! You’re an “onion-holic”. ;0)
I'm curious what you feed all your plants, I didn't realize that you need to feed annuals every week?
I use a water soluble fertilizer. I’m not picky about a brand name but I most often use miracle grow just because it’s usually on sale. 😁
Second comment…the music you use is just right for you & your videos. It fits & it suits you. 🙂 Kind regards.
Beautiful back yard Thank you I will do one for my garden. It looks beautiful in between the flowers
I like that you are easy to follow and just a normal family. So cute of your son oh and your dog. Love your garden as well. What a beautiful fountain.
Thank you so much!
Save some to chit for next year. Maybe they’ll grow better.
Great idea about the food dish. That’s exactly what I need!
You’re garden is spectacular. I’m so glad your video popped up today. I’m taking a little break from yard work and saw this. I was just telling my husband I want a small fountain. This is perfect!
Thank you very much. I’m glad you found me. I hope you enjoy my other videos as well. This small fountain is perfect, I still love mine.
Pump is too small can’t even hear the water flow
It’s not that type of fountain. This type of fountain is more for the appearance of flowing water and a light trickle sound. To get a loud fountain you have to have a water drop. The pump is actually perfectly sized for this fountain and it could actually accommodate a fountain spray head if more sound was wanted. However a larger base would be needed to catch the excess water slash. Thanks for watching.
Great job. We’ll be making one soon ❤
I love your garden and pool area. Gorgeous!!!
Thank you for highlighting the tractor seat plant. It's a very interesting variety, I have seen it in other videos but it wasn't named so I'm glad to know the name in order to research it further and perhaps grow it in my zone.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice tour! Lovely garden!
Thank you, Ray. Simple and to the point. 🙂👍
Thank you for this information on harvesting time for onions. Great examples! Your labor reaps many benefits. Your yard is beautiful, your shed looks great and your pool looks inviting! Glad you could harvest in the shade of your tree.
Using the irrigation pipe is genius!
We have an Ollie’s but I’ve never been there…..headed there today! Great job! 👏🏼
I love it! Wondering about maintenance.
I typically take mine apart to store it for winter so I give it a good clean at that point. Other than that it is pretty low maintenance. Since this is not a water garden with plants or fish I do add small amounts of chlorine to the water like a pool to keep algae out of the water.
IDE like a little more sound effect. Is there anything I can do?
You can add an extension of your pipe and a t fitting at the top to allow the water to fall and create the splashing sound but you would unfortunately be able to see that so it might work in a more formal garden space but if you don’t mind the look it will work. I have actually done this to mine before to get the sound but ultimately for me decided the sound wasn’t worth the look especially when I have other water features that do make lots of sound. Hope that helps.
Oh my goodness, don’t pay any attention to anybody who’s negative. I think you did awesome job on the video. Don’t let them people bother you at all cause they ain’t going nowhere,you accomplish something. God bless.
Fantastic job! Thanks for the money saving tips also. I’ve found an exact “kit” that runs close to $400 without the rocks ect…this will definitely save money!
Same oroblem here,but only the planter is narrow at the top,how do i go about to get ut out
Same technique. You are going to have to cut the root ball out of the planter one small piece at a time to get it out of the opening. It will be a chore but if you are careful you should be able to do it without damaging the container. Good luck.
Aye,will try again,the issue is,the plant has grown too tight at the top,don't know the name of it,but we call it ' mother in law tongue',so we cut the the plant down to the rim of the pot,but struggle to get to the soil,I thought of drilling holes at the bottom to insert a rod to poke out the soil from the bottom,but thanks for your reply.
Lovely tour, Ray! I find your videos relaxing and informative. Your presentation is friendly & neighborly. It’s you. Thank you & kind regards. (Binge watching, in the evening, all your old videos.)
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it.
I meant to ask you how your knee is doing. I noticed the wrap in a previous video.
It is doing ok at the moment. I have arthritis in that knee due to an injury years ago and sometimes it’s ok and sometimes it’s hard to walk without a knee brace wrap. Thanks for asking.
Gorgeous. Do giant lilies have scent. Are hibiscus perennials for your area. And is that a clementis by the blueberries? Thank you
Yes they do, it’s a mild scent. The hibiscus are perennial for me and that is a mandevilla. Thanks for watching.
Time to go swimming! That's all I was thinking on this one. Lol
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Love the string lights.
❤such a beautiful yard. So welcoming with all the various plants so wisely arranged. I'm a terrible flower gardener but you are very inspiring. Blessings ❤
Thank you so much!
Well we have missed you! Glad to see you back, hope all is well with you and your family!
Thank you!
OMG, Look at the giant lilies !!! Beautiful 😮
