Hi, I am Pamela and I garden in the mountains of Northern California. Though I am in Zone 8, I have a short growing season and many challenges that I overcome. I love to talk gardening and share my small, compact, and jam-packed gardens with everyone!

I sure have missed your videos and what a great one. It's a good way to explain it about. The color wheel palette and how to utilize it in your garden. I never looked at it that way, let alone thought about like that. I'm definitely going to reconfigure some things in my garden next year. You gave me a great idea of something I want to try to do. Great video. Thank you.❤❤
I am so glad you found it helpful. I am also trying to bring a bit of cohesion to my gardens and make them a bit more calming. I love the wild look, but I think I am going into a peace and meditative phase. It is so wonderful how flower gardening is so flexible and easy to swap up when your mindset changes.
Good morning Pam!! Yay! So good to see you this morning. You have been missed! Happy you were able to take a much deserved break.
Always enjoy your videos ❤ I agree with you; gardens can be a form of art! 🦋🍄🌸🌻🍀
I am glad to be back and I still have that trumpet vine. I will get back into the swing of things and we can arrange to meet up so I can get it to you. 😉
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse aww 🥰 I would love that! Thank you! Maybeeeee we can meet up in San Andreas, grab a coffee ☕️ and go to Hilltop before they close for the season 🤗😁🦋🍄
@@teinahenderson4182 Great idea! I have been wanting to get some pansies for the fall.
Those gardens had a lot of green to subdue the mixtures-very nice.
What were the thriller white flowers in the baskets? They look like fireworks. 🤩
Large graceful groupings look very nice.
It’s hard to achieve behind fenced in beds and I have to have the fences or I would have nothing or a ragged mess from wildlife.
Thanks for sharing and glad you had a nice trip.
Good point to use plants that like your garden conditions. Would love to plant this acreage in large swales but the restrictions for water and fencing limit that idea. We have drought once again and it’s been abnormally frying the last two weeks. Last rain was 8/30 and temps in 90s. Our first frost is 9/25 and we should be in 70s.
Yes, so much unnecessary amendments, ect being sold with the promise of growing better plants. I recently was thinking of how large scale farmers and backyard gardeners differ. The farmer doesn’t coddle their seedlings, buy numerous amendments in costly tiny bags or have the perfect soil-many have rocks 😅. I believe it is timing, fertilizer, watering and variety that they can turn out great vegetables. Fertilizer is a key component from seedling to field. Knowing the timing of when to plant, fertilize and water makes a huge difference and a variety that can withstand the rigors of field planting.
I actually laughed recently when I thought about how they slam their seedlings in the rocky soil and backyard gardeners are coddling theirs 😅. Farmers don’t prune and tie up everything either 😅.
The thriller plant was Gaura and it took me by surprise too as I had never considered using it this way in a container! 😁
Thank you so much for sharing your gardening knowledge and experience. I always enjoy and appreciate your videos. Your advice and encouragement came at a really perfect time for me as I’m feeling like some of my choices for the garden just didn’t work well for where I planted them and So I moved a lot of them around over the past couple of weeks. Also I have been feeling a bit discouraged and pondering which battles I want to continue to fight in the garden next year. In my case it’s been a very large population of deer, groundhogs and squirrels. Also the slugs were horrible this year. Black spot on all of the roses which most are newly planted this year. It’s been a lot of keeping after and expenses with repellents.
I did try to grow several blue delphiniums for the 1st time this summer because I noticed some growing in one of my neighbors yard and figured that the deer must not eat them. surprisingly they did incredibly well. I think that they are now one of my favorites and hopefully they come back next year. I’m really looking forward to your suggestions for fertilizer to help support them. I had no idea what or when I should feed them this past summer.
In my garden I typically add compost this time of year as a mulch and the litter from my chicken pen and that acts as my fertilizer. I also rake up all the leaves from the neighbors around me and layer that in thickly and it breaks down as a leaf mould which is a soil conditioner. The key to lovely healthy plants is great soil, which is what I am for with the mulch, litter and leaves.
Explanations very interesting.
I hope it was helpful, I had to do this video 3 times and just couldn't seem to get it right. I finally gave up and just posted the latest and went with it!
Thank u
You are most welcome.
