Flowers and Gardening are my passion. I’m hoping that I can share with you what I am learning and help you avoid the mistakes I have made. I’m trying to keep it real, and offer information that is applicable to anyone! My first plant I bought died because I didn’t realize that annuals died in the winter haha. I’ve come along way and even completed my Mater Gardener Certification. Thanks for joining me on my journey. My yard still has a long ways to go 👍🏻 and the transformation is so much fun.

Many can handle these conditions as long as they get watered throughout the gardening season. I added fine-mulc...

Ooops I have planted my bulbs late August hope they will be OK in the uk weather 😮
I’m sure they will be fine! Just make sure they don’t rot from to much water. What’s your weather like?
@@FlowerFanatic lol well, in england you can get anything weather wise, but not too extreme either way, we've had a wet summer, about 20 degrees at the moment. I've planet my bulbs in 3 layer sections to give them a chance of getting a variety of the year, and to increase survival rate, am fairly new too gardening, so still learning, thanks for your reply.
It's been a year since you planted these. Any updates on the growth?
Hello Yes it’s been along time. Hope All is well. Your channel has grown as it should. Your always have great content. My channel grows in spurts. 😆 The hydrangeas are gorgeous💚
Did it work???
Why are they called Stock Flower?
Wear some gloves
Can I transplant my bleeding heart bush now in August? Or should I wait?
It's glyphosate!!
I know
Thank you
Could they take sunrise to 11 am sun in 7b? Thank you for the info
Yes
Can I just some in a spray bottle and cut them spray instead of using a brush?
A couple of my Incrediballs have had stems that just die while the rest of the plant looks amazing. Have you had this happen? I can’t figure out what’s going on.
Well I haven’t had that issue . It’s possible it could be the partially breaking in wind or rain and than it slowly dies. That happens with my stems in different plants. I can be aggressive sometimes and not realize I broke a stem or two.
Thank you!
Liar
I disliked this comment. Haha. 👎
Well, next year I will know what to do.🤭🫤🤔😅. I didn’t throw them away, but they smelled moldy after I took the wax off. I peeled back the covering AND the next layer!😮😮. I sprayed them a few times with antifungal spray, a copper mix, and then a growth promoting one, potted them up and spray watered the pots to damp. They were put by an indirectly bright window, and began filling out and plumping up almost immediately. (All dead matter was removed, and since it’s the middle of July, there was a lot.). Visibly, they look ok and I will keep a close eye on them, but I can only hope they will be ok and start taking root. I’m pretty worried about peeling back that outer layer. 🤨😕🤷🏼♀️ They were potted in a Miracle Grow mix with a layer or two of bark. Maybe they will be ok. What should I have done? (Maybe, I already know.). Live and learn.
Did that one time. They all took off for parts unknown.
So bueautiful Hydrangea!
The only reason I would buy that just to have the pet
Highly invasive! Why are you promoting this?
@@rangedeliveryn it’s not invasive in my climate and I even say in the video it can be invasive in other climates so check your own. I like to promote it where I live. It’s great over here in northern utah. I haven’t had any issues with that.
@@rangedeliveryn plants can be invasive in one climate and not another all the time.
Beautiful!
That’s pretty cool that you can water your plants from the river right next door. 🚿
So cool! I LOVE the river. I’m so lucky.
Hi! I recently found you channel and it’s been fun to watch your videos! I live in Northern Utah too and you’ve given me some great ideas. Do you happen to know the variety name of your geum? I love that color combo!
I’m pretty sure it’s forever red! Not one hundred percent. There are so many red Heuchera’s out there any of them would look good.
It's going to look so good when it fills in. I hope you uodate us when you out the pavers in.
I will. Thanks! I can’t wait for the pavers and Irish moss. It will be magical
OMG lady get to the point women holy crap
You’re welcome for my free time. Oh my gosh practice patience.
I bet you’re going to enjoy this tip.
@@FlowerFanatic I will lol
Where did you buy the tree ? If you don’t mind me asking. Currently searching for one too
My local nursery.
Can you transplant a lilac from the ground to a pot?
Yes if it’s newly established. I would do it in early spring .
How many times do they flower and does each plant have only one flower stauk?
They flower once. They get multiple blooms with time. And they naturalize
What about when you mow the grass, will it kill the mantis? I have grass hopper swarms in my yard Denver. Dont want to use chemicals
I don’t know about that. Sorry! I actually haven’t seen my praying mantis stay around.
Great video. Thank you .
Glad you liked it!
How often should you water after initial planing? Daily for a couple weeks? Thanks for the great video...
Twice a week
That would be good. Check the soil. Make sure you’re not drowning them though.
This video is a godsend because I have the same issue with periwinkle and it is starting to invade my neighbors yard! I was told to HAND PULL!! That is impossible. glad I found this video.
Glad it helped!
Your penstemon looks spectacular, you have magic thumbs! I just brought home my Red Riding Hood today in 4" pot and NO flower yet (still a baby from local nursery). Will plant it soon, I hope it will be as gorgeous as yours 🌺
It will. They take off fast
Put a 6" saw blade on your weedwhacker. Sounds dumb, but is safe if you're not, and highly effective at removing things normal cord cannot.
Thanks for the tip
Thank you for your video, I’m having the very same issue!! !I just don’t see any slimy residue on them, I think it’s ??? We don’t have grasshoppers, not sure about earwigs? What ever it is they are destroying my dahlias and eating my hydrangeas
Aah!
😊
“I’m a project girl” your daughter did more work on this project😂
Was that intended to be rude?
If so please leave that comment to yourself. I would appreciate that.
I just got a Japanese Cherry Blossom and it’s no more than maybe 18” high and a sapling. Should I keep it inside in a large pot until it’s bigger?
No you can have it in the ground or container we. Whatever you prefer
Can you sell some to me? All our grasshoppers are gone and my cat loved catching them? I'm in Toronto
I love so many things in that bed. Do the deer bother your tri color beech? Or your yew that your growing into a hedge?
They haven’t touched mine, but In really heavy deer country when they are starving they have eaten yew. But they recover. Overall they tend to avoid the yew over here. I haven’t seen them eat a tri color yet 👍
Beautiful flowerbed, Its the bees knees.
Thanks! Haha
This was a suggested video in my stream. Just beautiful! I was in 6b but it says 7a now.
Thanks! I do the videos to share the beauty to enjoy with other gardeners, so I’m glad you found joy in flowers from this video.
Doesn’t this take 5yr to begin blooming?
It can take awhile. Climates are different and often they have a mind of there own, but in my climate it takes around 4-5. It takes patience, but the foliage is nice. It’s a slow grower in the beginning
Beautiful flowerbed, Its the bees knees.
Thanks! Haha
Wow. Everything looks so good! Your yard has really come along so much since I first started following you.
It has…thanks for the reminder. It’s been a process, but that’s the fun part.
I gotta ask do the bottom blooms stay beautifully frilly while the top ones grow mine looks like the ones you showed as an example as it just started to bloom but the blooms are tiny I’m not sure how it’ll shoot up to look this tall and grill + more blooms how is that possible 😮
It’s crazy. Mine started out small to and over time turned into these. I was so surprised!
Those roses look fabulous.
Thanks! They are so pretty, they don’t seem real. Dave austin roses are incredible.
Just looking for some good options. Thanks for the advice.
No problem 👍
I have some other good options too. I’m thinking about doing another video. I have learned so much since this last video
I bet your 80 year old neighbour didn't advertise his shoes when explaining what to do
There’s a lot of critics on CZcams.
You’re welcome for the tip.
Are some of these invasive in the Northeast? Thanks!
I like this tree
It’s a cool One!
