Hi Erin. Thanks again for a great video. I have learned so much from you so this type of content is great. I garden in zone 5b western MA. I love your choice of native and unusual plants - that speaks to me. I also love the music you use in your videos 😂❤❤
I'm currently recovering from a total knee replacement and can't be working in my garden so I am glad to be able to watch someone else garden! Thanks, Erin!
this is my other knee. August surgery will keep me out until clean up in fall so I will have lots of little surprise plantlings next spring. that's if the rabbits don't clean me out.
There is a bed outside in my SW Washington, zone 8b, garden that needs exactly what you have done in this video. You have inspired me to get after it. Thanks buckets.
Thanks for introducing us to "new to us" plants; the "same old" gets repetitive. I may not incorporate your selections in my zone 6b/7a garden, but it opens the door to new ideas...which is the main reason I keep watching your channel and others. Anyway, sweating buckets here in NJ, just a little jealous of that fleece you're wearing. 🥵😎
Erin, I personally prefer the more unusual or uncommon plants. Some plants just really get overused. To me those overused plants just makes one's garden boring.
I'm jealous. It is too hot here in the Philly area to be able to do stuff like that right now. Obligatory gardener's weather complaint. If it's not one thing, it's another.
Brilliant Erin 👌 It is this kind of video that inspires me and I think lots of others! To see you potter around and spruse up an area will make me think; Oh yes! That is like … part of my garden. I need to go out and do that too! To learn to see potential instead of neglect (well in my garden it is 😂) BUT NOT Boring at all 🙌
That weed looked like motherwort, which is incredibly prolific in the edges of our woods. It's pretty, but definitely a weed in gardens :-) I planted my first little bluestem this year and I'm loving it!
I added tassel flower to my winter sowing. I didn't get great germination but I did have a few plants and they are doing well in the garden. Winter sowing is so much easier than growing under lights I think I will do these again but just sow more. I hope it re-seeds in the garden. I "temporarily" planted many of my winter sown seedlings in a raised bed in the potager and of course they are still there and the beds are bursting at the seams. Who knew all those little tiny seeds would grow into big plants -- haha. Thanks for the fun video!
Very refreshing. I weeded this morning until about 11AM and changed cloths twice. I’m in Humid country…… it’s nice watching you in a much friendlier climate
The sculpture is very cool and certainly pops in that area right now. Maybe you need just a few red foliage plants in there to add contrast? I’ve never heard of the June gap before but it makes sense. Succession planting and blooming combinations are hard to find information on and seems like an opportunity for growth in the gardening world
Thanks for the id on the plants, I see some from DIgging Dog Nursery, I just ordered from them this year and was very pleased with the health & condition of my plants.
Thank you Erin for trying so many new things. I’ve had both a more structured garden and now more less detailed garden. I’m loving them both. Your more relaxed and yet attention to design is so fun to watch. Thank you💕
Thank you for the fun and fascinating video!!! It inspired me to check on my Silphiums that I purchased as seedlings last summer after work as I started watching on break and just finished after the day ended.
Lots of great plant inspo Erin! You helped me improve my beautiful garden in Michigan and now looking for ideas for my new gardenless home in KY. Cudos to Mr Much More Patient for the photo bombs!
Wow, Erin, this came at just the right time. I was just thinking the foliage in one of my gardens is all fine along with grasses and needed some large-leaved foliage. Sounds like Prairie Dock is the ticket with some supervision or just foregoing the flowers. Thank you so much. I always look forward to your videos!
I can tell already that the Prairie Dock will be an attention grabber. I was hoping my Rusty Foxglove would reseed, but I guess when you mulch with leaves, it doesn't always work. All great additions to your garden.
Hi dear Dorothy❤. Gosh Erin I adore your Hakonechloa macra Grass. It's so beautiful how it weeps down over the mounds. I failed when I tried it here in Reno, Nevada, but it was because of my own fault, I didn't get them in the ground due to life issues, and then it was too late.😭.gonna try again in fall .
Love it! I just planted Prairie Dock this year (a bit smaller plant) for the same reason! Those leaves are wonderful and a great texture. Love that kinetic sculpture too! That invasive plant at the 2:50 mark is Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) - it's a wonderful herbal but SOOOPER invasive (and prickly -take care when removing it). I have it everywhere and it's maddening.
Was that your husband peaking over your shoulder at the end?😉 I love that you don’t use plants that are every nursery. Finding those gems is so much fun! I love to experiment and have been starting more things from seed. I love your garden and your channel. I look forward to every new video!
After over 30 years of gardening in a heavy deer,rabbit,groundhog,racoon,squirrel and Lord knows what I have gotten my garden almost(I can never say never) down to plants the deer wont eat. ......then..... they start on new things... I use to spray but what a pain for me and seriously it gets expensive and I can become lazy and forget.
Amen, I feel you. Between new insect pests every year, the ever-expanding deer palate, and the wildly difficult weather, I just want to walk away from it all some days 😭 PS I make deer spray following Erin’s (I think mom’s?) recipe…it works sometimes 🫠 but I think the young deer will try anything
I really like colour combinations like apricot knifofias and indigo delphiniums....oranges and blues are opposites on the colour wheel and really pop. Also white os so underrated as a great backdrop for other plants. I like how you use unusual plants like giant dock...i mean we see dock as a weed in NZ but the leaves on your plant are a real stand out. Do you plant any fairy tale fishing rod or diarama?grasses? They are quite tall and only flower a short time but are fairly hardy and I dont see many in gardens. Jo.😊
I have always really appreciate that you take the time to write the plant names on your videos. However, the cursive, very light colored, font you’ve used lately is difficult to read. I hope you’ll consider changing it for a bolder, less decorative font. Looking forward to seeing this part of your garden when the Orange dahlias are blooming.
Love this garden. You garden like I do. Does this garden have irrigation? I live in Holland Mi, same zone, but basically live on sand dune. Water is essential. I envy your memory for plant names. At my age , even though I've been gardening 40+ years, plant names escape me. Really enjoy your channel.
Unrelated to this video but have been wondering for a while… any impatient gardener apparel? I would love one of those Patagonia jackets with the logo ❤
Beautiful garden! But I have a question, why not leave a few mullein? It's a beautiful plant that pollinators love and the deer won't eat. Just wondering.
Eirn hello 👋 from Ireland love your blog! Could you recommend a company for plug plants near new jersey I want to send to my sister who lives there. Also have you checked out verbena Brampton it's a stunner and great self seeder!
Sometimes it might be helpful for those of us that don’t know all of the Latin names to say the Latin name and the common name ? That way the people who love the Latin name will be satisfied and the people who don’t know Latin names will learn the Latin / common name ? 🌺💚🙃 Pardon me, I did notice sometimes you give both names, thank you. 🌺💚🙃
Good comment, I feel the same, I try to read the script but it’s a script not easily deciphered and not on the screen long enough and I hate stopping and starting the video. Zones and plant care would also be useful info when talking about a plant 🤷🏻♀️
What is the name of the tall perennial that had blue blossoms on it. I have 3 in my garden and can’t find the tag. Plant ID on phone I know was wrong. Thanks
Instead of all your "exotic" plants you have, how about using plants we common folks use, to educate us better on how to grow them? I cannot for the life of me grow poppies or delphiniums, flowers I wish I could enjoy. What about gladiolus? I had so many I pulled them, dried them out then replanted in tubs this year, which barely flowered. Or how about flowers to attract hummingbirds. I tire of your tours, naming the Latin names for plants I have no idea what they are or find them not very pretty. God Bless!
While I’ll disagree that native plants or nativars are “exotic” (since it’s literally the opposite) I completely understand that we all have different tastes. My planting style is not for everyone, and it sounds like it’s not for you. There are oodles of great RUclips channels out there that have lots of information on plants you can pick up at any old big box store or the garden center around the corner. It sounds like that’s more in keeping with your personal style, and since you find me tiring, the great news is that you have lots of other options of channels to watch. If you really want info on how to grow specific plants like poppies, sweet peas, flowering tobacco and much more, feel free to check out the hundreds of videos I’ve made over the last four or five years or the articles I’ve published on my website. But if you really just wanted to vent a little, then hey, you’re all good to go now. I’m not southern, but bless your heart.

@@fleurjardin1012 I hope you feel better every day! 🌼
Hope you are doing well. My knee replacements were the best things I ever did. You will back and going strong in your garden in no time!
this is my other knee. August surgery will keep me out until clean up in fall so I will have lots of little surprise plantlings next spring. that's if the rabbits don't clean me out.
Wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery!!
A perfect day in the garden. Those are my favorites-just tinkering around and getting things done.
Love your garden and love your dog 💗 Look forward to seeing more of both!
Interesting plants that I have never heard of before now. Dorothy looks happy. Hope everything fills in nicely 🤞😊.
Love how you are infusing natives and introducing others to those little known plants!
There is a bed outside in my SW Washington, zone 8b, garden that needs exactly what you have done in this video. You have inspired me to get after it. Thanks buckets.
I love these types of videos!! Learning so much from these as a beginner
Love the gardens and love glimpses of Dorothy❤! “Sorry about the weeds on the path Dorothy” 😂 More Dorothy in the garden please

Prairie Dock--what a unusual, but lovely, Plant. 😊
Erin, I personally prefer the more unusual or uncommon plants.
Some plants just really get overused. To me those overused plants just makes one's garden boring.
Good video. As a master gardener I still need to be inspired by other gardening designs. Great cameo appearance by Dorothy!
It’s a crick Erin, 🤭🌺💚🙃
So funny, we call it crick where I live and I was like duh, it’s totally a crick! 🤣
Always always always make me want to go do more
I'm jealous. It is too hot here in the Philly area to be able to do stuff like that right now. Obligatory gardener's weather complaint. If it's not one thing, it's another.
I can relate. Raleigh NC here. So, summer, yeah.
95 in Trenton NJ.
Nice👍👍👍
Love the add ins and tweaks Erin. Hello to the beautiful Dorothy🐾💕
Love a day in the garden! So real!
Brilliant Erin 👌 It is this kind of video that inspires me and I think lots of others! To see you potter around and spruse up an area will make me think; Oh yes! That is like … part of my garden.

Nice to see new plants in your garden. Too hot here on Vancouver Island BC., Canada to plant. Up to 30C or 90F. Happy gardening.
That weed looked like motherwort, which is incredibly prolific in the edges of our woods. It's pretty, but definitely a weed in gardens :-) I planted my first little bluestem this year and I'm loving it!
Yes I believe you’re right! Thanks

I planted tassel flower, thanks to Erin, and it looks so nice with my blue eryngium!
I can’t get enough of butterfly weed either! I bought a flat of it a couple of weeks ago
Hi DorothyThis area is going to be so pretty in the autumn. I love the fireworks solidago, try it with a purple aster.
Erin, EVERY VIDEO should end with “A Moment Of Zen with Dorothy”!!!!
Very refreshing. I weeded this morning until about 11AM and changed cloths twice. I’m in Humid country…… it’s nice watching you in a much friendlier climate
Thank you for sharing your new plants. Hi Dorothy!
Thank you Erin! Your videos are always informative.
What a fun space! It rained last night so I’m pulling weeds today! 😊
Yay!!! 🎉 Always look forward to your videos.
The sculpture is very cool and certainly pops in that area right now. Maybe you need just a few red foliage plants in there to add contrast?

Dorothy!❤
I like that garden bed, I have a big native bed it reminds me of. Things can get wild and have to be tamed occasionally 😊
Erin - loving to see Dorthy! Added some plants to my wish list. Loved this planting video!!
The allium looks fabulous as does the lovely Dorothy! She is such a beautiful girl. Curious to see the growth on BP1 and BP2 in the coming weeks.
Great choices.
I took your advice on the tassel flower , I just love it. So easy from seed
Thank you for the fun and fascinating video!!! It inspired me to check on my Silphiums that I purchased as seedlings last summer after work as I started watching on break and just finished after the day ended.
Lots of great plant inspo Erin! You helped me improve my beautiful garden in Michigan and now looking for ideas for my new gardenless home in KY. Cudos to Mr Much More Patient for the photo bombs!

Hi dear Dorothy❤. Gosh Erin I adore your Hakonechloa macra
Grass. It's so beautiful how it weeps down over the mounds. I failed when I tried it here in Reno, Nevada, but it was because of my own fault, I didn't get them in the ground due to life issues, and then it was too late.😭.gonna try again in fall .
thanks Erin!🪴
Thank you Erin. 🌺💚🙃
Love it! I just planted Prairie Dock this year (a bit smaller plant) for the same reason! Those leaves are wonderful and a great texture. Love that kinetic sculpture too!
That invasive plant at the 2:50 mark is Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) - it's a wonderful herbal but SOOOPER invasive (and prickly -take care when removing it). I have it everywhere and it's maddening.
Best ever type of gardening 👩🌾
Love to get ideas from you!!❤❤
Erin, love your gardening style and Dorothy makes me smile. Gardening just north of you in WI 5a.
Dorothy ❤
Prairie Dock…all I heard was “bridge to terabithia” 🙃
Love those BTW!
I wish I could have gotten your mullein😮 it a great herb
Have great day. Big
Huggicates and smiles 12:48 😊!
Was that your husband peaking over your shoulder at the end?😉 I love that you don’t use plants that are every nursery. Finding those gems is so much fun! I love to experiment and have been starting more things from seed. I love your garden and your channel. I look forward to every new video!

I use to spray but what a pain for me and seriously it gets expensive and I can become lazy and forget.
Mine eat even the fuzzy things that I have to wear long sleeves to work with, like rudbeckia and zinnia. Nothing is sacred 😂
@@nataliedoesgardening Boo hiss to those deer.
Amen, I feel you. Between new insect pests every year, the ever-expanding deer palate, and the wildly difficult weather, I just want to walk away from it all some days 😭
PS I make deer spray following Erin’s (I think mom’s?) recipe…it works sometimes 🫠 but I think the young deer will try anything
I tried deer discs from Ace Hardware and they working so far

I just commented on another post how nice my new tassel flower looks with my blue eryngium!
I love the songs you play on your videos. Can you do a Spotify playlist??😊
Dorothy, best 'helper', in the garden. 😍 Any pics of the dahlia, with the dark foliage, in bloom? Thanks!
I have always really appreciate that you take the time to write the plant names on your videos. However, the cursive, very light colored, font you’ve used lately is difficult to read. I hope you’ll consider changing it for a bolder, less decorative font.

Hi Dorothy! Tell mama you a buddy.
Where’d you get prairie dock that large I could only find them in plugs this spring along with other native plant plugs
Unrelated to this video but have been wondering for a while… any impatient gardener apparel? I would love one of those Patagonia jackets with the logo ❤
I’m finding the plant names really hard to read. Thanks for the wander
Hi Dorothy!
I wish the prairie dock would self sow! zone 6b🤷♀
Beautiful garden! But I have a question, why not leave a few mullein? It's a beautiful plant that pollinators love and the deer won't eat. Just wondering.

And a cameo of Mr. Impatient Gardener and Dorothy. She steals the show 🩷😄 (What did you call him in a past video? Mr. Much more Patient Gardener?)
