Aren’t they fabulous?!? I wish I could share their scent with you too! Just imagine a pleasing combination of ginger and old lady perfume. LOL! It’s very sweet!
I live in Northern Indiana. We still have snow sometimes. It is so nice to see plants in bloom. I started from the beginning of your videos. I love the progress you are making in your flower beds. Can’t wait to see the next video!😃🦋🐛🐝
Thanks, Jane!!! I know that you’ve got to be chomping at the bit to get started gardening! I’m glad that my videos are giving you a bit of color right now! It’s amazing how quickly everything grows once the days get longer and warmer! I bet your garden is going to be sensational!!! I can’t wait to hear about how everything grows for you!!!
I am chomping at the bit! My flowerbeds are transforming as well. Are we ever done with our design?!! I don’t think so!! We change as we go along. New varieties of plants come out. So many wonderful choices! Have a flowery day!!🌹🌸🌻
@@janebrown7857 LOL, Jane! I never want to have my garden exactly the way I want it because what would I do after that? Dreaming up new things and thinking about what should go where and changing stuff around is all part of the fun of gardening. I just love playing outside, and I’m so glad that you do too!!!
Thanks, Jane!!! I got the rose arbor from bestnest.com It costs more now than it did when I bought it last year. My friend looked it up the other day and got sticker shock. It was damaged by a severe hail storm just a month after we installed it and the replacement parts were not super expensive, so that was fortunate!
I enjoyed your video so much, Rachel! I especially loved the pink flowering delicate salvia. It is so wonderful to see how much you are caring for the butterflies. Please keep doing what you are doing!
Thanks, Christina!!! Aren’t those salvias so delicate and lovely?!? I sure hope that I can keep them alive! LOL! - I sure do love attracting butterflies! I think they’re in my blood! Haha! I won’t stop. Believe me. Sometimes I get discouraged when I run into obstacles, but I keep on trying. I wanna be as tough as a butterfly because they really are tough and resilient!
I love your videos. I have three host plants but hardly any flowers with nectar for the butterflies to eat. I don’t know how you put them together but the look beautiful. I love your garden and appreciate your knowledge. Thanks for making videos.
Thanks, Nancy!!! That’s so exciting that you have host plants!!! I bet you with have butterflies soon! Super easy flowers to grow as a nectar source are salvias, zinnias, pentas, and vincas! And swamp milkweed (it has pink flowers) is everyone’s favorite!
Thank you, Susan!!! I’m loving getting to share it with y’all! It’s i credible how quickly things are growing right now! I can’t wait to stalk butterflies in the garden soon!!!
Hi Rachel, recently found your channel & absolutely love your garden ( and your hat). I’m in Southeast Fl. & just started gardening last year. Today I saw my first monarch caterpillars on the milkweed, I’m beyond excited. Happy gardening.
Oh, yay, Rebecca!!! That’s awesome! Isn’t it wondrous to see monarch caterpillars?!? I’m so happy for you!!! I cried the first time that I found monarch caterpillars. It felt like a direct blessing from God to have those tiny creatures to care for in my very own garden, and now you have it too!!! - Thanks about the hat! We have some great thrift stores here, and I’m always on the lookout for fun gardening hats!
Thanks!!! I love seeing what people are doing in the gardens! I’m nosy but also I wanna learn everyone’s gardening secrets! I’ll watch yours tomorrow!!!
Here in southern California on the coast the Monarchs love our Aesclepias Milkweed and they have started to spread from their own seed too! We have 3 caterpillars on the tiniest one and have seen others. I'm afraid that the birds and lizards go for them though so I need to do something to protect the little young butterflies. Btw: your front yard is a garden, not a yard. A yard is where machinery is kept; and your back garden is just marvelous! Thank you for this wonderful video!
Thanks, Michael!!! I hope you can raise your monarch caterpillars! It’s so incredible to watch the entire process! They are such tiny, flying miracles!!!
Love variegated leaves. Thank you for sharing your lovely garden. We are in zone 9 in East Mesa, Arizona. There are some tree collards, they live for a long time.
Thank you!!! I’m going to let that kale grow as long as I can! I had no idea that it could have such a long life and grow so stout! I really love the texture and color of it!!!
Just added this video. There is one more after that where my girlfriend Anne (whos talking) show off other varieties czcams.com/video/StQtw_9xQ84/video.html
Thanks!!! I love connecting with gardeners from zone 9a! I hope that we can share info about what works here and what doesn’t and tricks for gardening better in our climate!
I just found your channel and I’m so excited! I’m in Northern California zone 9b. I planted milk weed for the first time this year and it’s only 8” tall, but I’m so hopeful to bring the monarchs! I’m also growing dill for butterflies, but also for pickles! Have a blessed gardening week! 🦋🐝🐞
Yay, Denise!!! I’m excited about your new butterfly gardening adventure!!! It’s true if you plant it, they will come! LOL about the multi-use dill! You can plant some for them and some for you, very equitable! I can’t wait to hear more about your butterfly encounters!!! You have a blessed week too!!!!!
That wild passion flower is a native. And yes, the gulf fritillary butterflies love the native one. The fruit is tiny and has a black seeds like kiwi. You have to wait for it to fall off before you eat it. Nasturtium, makes a great tincture. I have a video from a herbalist on my comments that is worth the time to watch.
Oh, yay! I had a passion flower vine that had small red fruit on it at one time and then it didn't grow back, but that must be the one that is coming back and I'm so glad!!! - That's cool that you can make tinctures with nasturtiums! I would have never thought to do that!!!
Exciting to see your garden already rolling! I’m in zone 8a, Texas, and my salvias have a long way to go. We went to Dauphin Island last May, and your state is just beautiful!
Thanks, Stacey!!! I’m so glad that you got to visit Alabama at Dauphin Island! I love it down here on the Gulf Coast! I haven’t been to many places in Texas, but I love Austin, San Antonio, and Fredericksburg! - Don’t you just marcel at how resilient salvias are? I have one in the front yard that is 7 years old, and I have made about 15 cuttings from it in the past couple of years.
Thanks, Kristy!!! LOL! Yeah, I don’t want to do that much work! I just want to throw out handfuls of seeds and sit back and watch what grows! My husband keeps trying to get me to go to the gym with him, but I’ve been getting a better workout in the garden and I get flowers too. It’s a win-win for me!
Oh! I looked those Sugar Magnolia Snap peas up and they look gorgeous! I will definitely plant some in October! Thank you so much for the recommendation! I can’t wait to try them!!! Have you grown them? Do you have an tips for me?
@@gulfcoastbutterflygardening I've grown them one time 2 years ago. The best I remember they were basically like the regular peas. Just plant in potting soil and feed according to recommendations on pack and give them something to climb on. I would plant them thicker the next time I grow them for more colorful blooms and more peas. They are beautiful.
Love your garden. I seem to kill Thyme of any kind! Central Florida, zone 9B. Maybe I should put it in the ground in partial shade. Have killed it in pots!
Thanks, Janet!!! Oh, no, about killing thyme! Now that I think about it, the only kind of thyme that I ever grow is lemon thyme and now I have some creeping thyme. And I’ve had some that grew for a few years and then died for reason that I could see. I always grow mine the the sunniest, driest of spots, but I water everything at least every other day, unless it rains. I hope that you don’t give up on thyme! There’s gotta be one kind out there that is perfect for you!
Hello! What is the Salvia’s name under the arbor 2:24 and the bright colored grass in front of it? Simply wonderful combo. Love the bright chartreuse Mexican Heather. New CZcams friend. 👩🏾🌾👍🏾😍. Love your style. Yes there are those times when the spirit is willing and the fresh is weak. I usually ignore the flesh when that happens and pays the price later on but it’s so rewarding to get stuff done. I support the Monarch caterpillars and I have Milkweed in my Lambs Ear row garden. I’ve enjoyed this video.
Thank you, RB!!! I wish that I could tell you the name of the salvia, but I don’t know it. I’ve had the parent plant for seven years. It was in the yard at my old house and I dig it up and brought it with me. I’ve rooted cuttings from it for a couple of years and it grows really tall, then flops over and grows along the ground. The bright colored grass is Evercolor® Everillo Carex Carex oshimensis 'Everillo'. I got it at Lowe’s and had it in a pot with other stuff. It got scraggly so I took it out, trimmed it down, cut it in half, and planted it where it is now. I bet I will need to divid it every year, but dontcha just love being able to get new plants like that?!? - I’m trying to put more chartreuse in the garden because I love those pops of green! It’s like having extra sunlight shining in there! - You are just like me! I just tell that flesh to hush and I keep going. LOL! - Aren’t monarchs such a delight to have in the garden?!? And they require so little effort! I want everyone to experience the joy and miracle of them!!!
I had the same Salvia question. I thought it might be the "Big Blue" variety I grew from seed last year, but since she's had it for several years, it couldn't be that. I'm guessing it's one of the older, vegetatively propagated Salvia farinacea hybrids like "Indigo Spires" or "Mystic Spires". "Big Blue" is very easy to grow from seed, blooms the first year, and looks pretty much like the Salvia in the video.
@@ddgardner5671 I’m really frustrated to not know the exact name of that salvia! I do know that it is super easy to root from cuttings! - I did start some salvia from seed last year that I bought from Botanical Interests.The short blue ones in the circle garden came up from that seed and it’s called Blue Victory.
@@gulfcoastbutterflygardening This is a description of Indigo Spires from the Mississippi State U. site: _One of my favorite horticultural Web sites says, “Indigo Spires tends to keep growing and growing and then falling over under its own weight. Constant pruning and pinching will keep it in bounds, and removing the flower spikes after most of the flowers have dropped off will encourage more blooming.”_
@@ddgardner5671 LOL! That’s it exactly! Thanks for being the plant sleuth and solving the mystery!!!! My husband insisted that I cut it back under the arbor so that he can walk under it. Last year I couldn’t bear to cut it back, so I let it grow very thickly over the path and we couldn’t use it. So Indigo Spires it is! That is so good to know!
Hi Rachel. Do you have a growing season or is just continual all year round. Here in Northern Europe we have around 6 months to grow things before the days shorten and temperatures decrease. Many thanks for sharing your garden with us.
Thanks, Kim!!! We can grow things all year round here, but we have to grow things that like cold weather like nasturtiums and pansies and peas and kale during the fall and winter. My salvia survived several freezes and a week’s worth of frost every morning. But I can’t say that anything is predictable about the weather here. Although, I can promise you that it will be hot and humid during the summer! LOL!
Thanks, Kaewkarn!!! I’m so glad that you love it! My garden faces south and the back wall of the house stays warm during the winter when the sun shines, so it kept my passion flower from being nipped by the frost this winter. The only problem that I have is that the garage blocks the sun for a while in the morning during the winter, but it does help to block some damaging winds so it earns its keep. Haha! - That’s cool that you are in Pasco County! I love it down there! I go kayak at Three Sister’s Springs and Weeki Wachee at least once a year! And I try to go to a new spring every year. They are so lovely! - Oh! You are kind of near Wilcox Native Plant Nursery! My dream is to drive a trailer down there and load it up with all the native plants that I can’t find up here!
@@gulfcoastbutterflygardening Oh yay!! Happy to.here that you.enjoyed the area! I have not been to Wilcox yet, BUT there is a place in Tampa called Little Red Wagon. It is super awesome. They only have natives and abundance of Swamp and Aquatic Milkweeds! Again, thank you for your video and answering my question!
@@gailp218 Little Red Wagon sounds like my dream nursery!!! I would love to get my hands on a ton of native milkweed! You are so blessed to have that so close by!!!
Hey, Kat! I don’t have drip irrigation. We have a well that is attached to a sprinkler system, but the system is messed up. So I use a hose attached to the well pump and use just a plain old-fashioned sprinkled. It isn’t ideal because everyone says that plants shouldn’t be watered from overhead, but I don’t have enough time to hand water anymore. My soil is basically brown sand and very porous, so I water every other day when we don’t get rain.
Haha! I know! Dontcha love it?!? I wish it had performed better! I might not give up on it yet. Maybe I’ll give Sugar Daddy another try by the house in October!
I am so jealous of your garden. Beautiful!!!!!!
Awww! Thanks!!! I hope that I can encourage you to plant for butterflies! It really is worth it for all the joy that they bring!
