Yes, I like your garden designs. Good juxtapositions of shapes, colors and textures. Here in southern Vermont we have the Dummerston Perennial Swappers club started some thirty -three years ago by two ladies who were tired of throwing their perennials in the compost pile when others wanted those same plants. We meet every two weeks at different locales, swap plants at 6 p.m. on the dot, put a dollar in the cookie box for the maps to the local home gardens we visit after the swap. We always get good ideas from one another, and advice from the more experienced gardeners. You don't have to bring a plant to swap if you are just starting out. People are very generous around here.
This sounds wonderful and so much fun! Thanks for sharing. As plants grow and need Dividing it's always so nice to be able to give them away or do swaps. An affordable and fun way to grow the gardens 🌱
Thank you for all the tips. I didn't realize you can grow Spirea from cuttings, I'm going to try that. I do love them. I bought a Purple Fountain grass one time and found out it wasn't hardy here. I'm in zone 8B.
Lowe’s and Walmart are great places to get clearance plants, never really see anything at Home Depot. When I go to Lancaster, PA there is a house that always is dividing plants and have them for sale $1.50 a plant. Also have a native plant nursery that has ugly plant sale and besides discounts on plants, some can be free. But every now and then nice to treat yourself to a plant you really like. 😊
Hi Terri, so satisfying to find good plants on clearance. Even better to get plant divisions from other gardeners. So fun to treat ourselves to a special plant, or wish list plant every so often. Makes it that much more enjoyable.
Pee uh nee - fun video. Your garden is lovely and you found some great deals! I would have lost my mind 😂 grab those deals . The sedum you can just snap off a stem and stick it in the ground. Your black eyed Susan’s are neat and a nice height. Mine are leggy ( I wish they’d stay in a mound ) I try to half cut them and stagger heights, but they want to be weeds amongst the shastas . I’m going to try harder because yours are beautiful !
You are so lucky to grow all the plants and flowers you are showing and I don’t see any fence to protect them because I Would wake up one morning and find them all eaten by the deer and I find this very frustrating……
Hi there! We have lots of deer and bunnies. I spray repellent every week or so. More often if it rains. I focus more in plants they are more likely to eat. These include daylilies, Coneflowers, and hydrangeas. It's a job to keep them away. I do my best.
Agree with the deer repellant! I get some on Amazon called Deer Stopper and so far the deer are being repelled. It’s not a good idea to spray on anything you’ll eat though!
Hi Vanessa!! I actually don't know. I had to pull it because it was too aggressive and required so much divisions to size control. My sister in law gave it to me. You could try Karl Forester grasses. They are much more compact.
You have beautiful flowers but what. Zone are you in? I live in zone 7 high altitude dry climate. At what point do you separate your plants to spread in your garden?
Hi there, Thank you very much. Its listed in the description section of my videos. Zone 6. After a perrenial is about 3 years old on average, its a good candidate to split. Some grow quicker, and can be split sooner.

Sharing plants is the way to go.
Great tips!
Thanks for watching Jay! =)

Thank you so much Dani!
Can you share some of your beautiful plants with me?! 😅 your garden is lovely
Thank you so much! 😊
I use Red Solo Cups! Collect them after a party and get your cups free :D
I love getting marked down or salvaged plants.
When you got those clearance plants, do you put them in ground the next season or are they better to be in ground right away? Thanks
What is that weeping tree that appears at 1:08? Thanks. Beautiful garden.
Hi there, Blue atlas cedar. Thank you!

I believe you said that you’re in zone 6…do you grow the fig trees outside or do you bring them in during the colder months?
What zone are you in? And when did you sow your dianthus in those pots? How long did it take for them to grow that much?
Hey! One season only! I seed started the maiden pinks indoor with grow lights in February. They were ready to plant out and bloom late spring.
What is the weeping blue evergreen at minute 1:14? Thank you, love finding new ideas from your gardens!
I have one of these beautiful ornamental trees. It’s a Cedrus Atlantica Glauca or weeping blue Atlas Cedar and I’m in zone 10a in CA.
Enjoy your vids. You say peony the same way I do.
Yay! I often have comments I'm not saying it correctly. But its how I say it, glad i'm not alone ;) Thanks for watching!
I’ve never heard peony pronounced like that.
Beautiful garden!! What type large grass is planted in your borders? I'd love to try it!
Hi Vanessa!! I actually don't know. I had to pull it because it was too aggressive and required so much divisions to size control. My sister in law gave it to me. You could try Karl Forester grasses. They are much more compact.
Thank you so much!! Smiles
When will you plant those hydrangeas? Also, when you start that spirea from a cutting, do you add a starter to the pot? This is a great video!!
Hi there. Once they have developed roots, they are good to plant.
@@HookedandRooted So just potting soil? Thank you!
@@karenschrantz2307 when starting in pot, I used well draining potting soil. Once roots developed, I planted in ground with some compost.
@@HookedandRooted Thank you so much!

@@HookedandRooted thank you for your response, separating, does this happen in the spring? Beautiful home by the way.
Where do you get your peach/ apricot strawflower seeds?
A friend shared some of her seeds with me. I believe Floret online sells them.
Wish I could get sedum to grow. I kill it every time I purchased a new plant.
Hi Kay! Sedum are like a cactus. They dint want wet soil or too much water. They prefer to be on the drier side. Hope that helps.
Note to self: Spirea 'Magic Carpet' (cuttings) why are my posts disappearing? Am i doing something wrong?
Very helpful! Thank you!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching 🌱
