The video content was awesome. But my favorite part was watching your dog drink water. It’s the little things. 🤷♀️ 😂
I live in southeast Tennessee, Zone 7b, and a couple weeks ago I planted 4 Fluffy Western arborvitae, 1 Forever Goldy arborvitae, and a Gatsby Pink Oakleaf hydrangea. So Fun. I have an Eastern Snowball bush that I am waiting for her to drop her leaves so I can transplant her to the other side of my yard. I'm excited about that. She's about three years old & big so I pray that I don't harm her.
I think you will love the quickfire hydrangea. The stems are sturdy and the exploded bloom is beautiful. As most pannicals it has such great color when the nights become cooler. 😍
Planting is my favorite in the garden thing to do. My favorite out of the garden thing to do is to shop for plants 😉 Just picked up a Prairie fire dogwood on clearance this week, I am super excited to have something to add winter interest in a brand new space that was formerly a pasture.
Erin - GREAT video. Lots of good information. Really enjoy your sense of humour!
It looks so much better, just with the hostas gone! I've started the idea of "if I don't love it, get rid of it", in my gardens (and in the "stuff" in the house, too!)
I'm still planting. Just picked up 10 Emerald Green Aborvitae, 2 David Austin Roses, Supertunia Honey & Limencello LOL my neighbor actually drove by and told me to stop planting 😂😂😂😂🌱🌱🌱
I love the tricolor beech.
I just planted two hedges of sprinter boxwoods, Little Lime hydrangeas, and I am waiting for my black mondo grass to show up. I also salvaged a crispy lilac shrub for $1 from Lowe's. It has all new green leaves and is looking gorgeous. I love the clearance section at Lowe's and highly recommend it for buying plants on a budget.
When I'm done, I'm sure I'll start rearranging plants from here to there, a particular bad habit of mine.
@@gardeningjunkie2267 I need to get my claws on some boxwoods. I'm thinking of planting it in my mailbox area and cram some heat loving plants in them. I'm on the hunt for clearance hydrangeas right now LOL it's been a month since I hoarded 6 of them. Full of buds too! And it's only my first year planting and knowing anything about gardening. Eeek I'm obsessed over the clearance rack too!
Gardening Junkie Lowe’s clearance rack gets me in trouble. I can’t say no! My favorite spot to shop, and the source of most of my shrubs and perennials!
😃😃 I think your neighbor is right, but once you get started it's hard to stop
@@verawallace9055 😅😅😅😅 LOL LOL right! I need more land 🤗 my boys are tired of digging holes and chasing worms for me
Love the floating garden!! And the innocent pup ... ❤😊 Thabks as always!
I loved watching your dog drink while you watered your Buck eye!❤
I liked seeing you in your car with your hair pulled back! That is how I garden all the time as I focus better without hair in my face! I wear a ball cap n ponytail also.
Erin-- Mahogany and caramel heucheras would look great by the new weigela.
Joyce Fleischer Great suggestion!
@@TheImpatientGardener I was going to suggest the same and there's that pop of red you were looking for.
Yes! I was going to say the exact same thing!!! Cherry truffles, mohangony monster, wild rose is gorgeous!
@@Tee-py2uo primo black pearl is pretty nice too
Love my bottle brush buckeye. I’ve had it for 20 years. It’s awesome.
Hi Erin, thanks for another informative and entertaining video. I really appreciate that you are willing to share your vast knowledge with all of us/me! Your relaxed attitude and dry sense of humor add a fun twist.
Just found your channel and now I'm binge watching. Great content and beautiful property!
Claudette Townsend, Erin is binge worthy! Wait til you start watching in spring especially as it relates to dahlias!
Try garden answers also. I love these 2 vloggers. You will get addicted
I bet those hostas will return next year. 🙃 It turned out great Erin
We love our Rogers bottlebrush buckeye! They make such a statement, particularly in our Oudolf-inspired space... BTW Aesculus parviflora var. Rogers have longer inflorescences making the plant that much more amazing...
I have both varieties in my garden 😍 love them! and they are NOT easy to find
@@jchampagne3609 I think this plant is really gaining ground particularly in landscape design circles and therefore, increasingly being grown. The challenge IMHO is finding a small independent nursery that sells them at an appreciable size - #3, #5 or #7 - to those outside of the trade.
Great video, and love your no-nonsense approach to planting. That buckeye is beautiful and wish I could use it as a border plant in my Zone 9 garden.
Odin steals the show!!! Sweet boy!!
I love your videos, Erin! Now I want some red buckeye! Thanks for sharing the good and the bad,
I can’t believe you continue to plant hydrangeas even with all the deer you have! I recently moved and planted Bobos and a Little Lime: all nibbled on consistently by deer I didn’t know I had. I’ve been spraying, but it doesn’t seem to work. Now I research everything before planting and no more hydrangea for me! (Would have loved an Oakleaf.) You’re a courageous lady, Erin.
Try a different repellent. I do believe some work better for different deer herds than others. The deer here don’t seem to care too much about the hydrangeas until fall and winter.
Heuchera would be beautiful in the low garden and there are so many colors now. Loved the video and the dog! Stay safe. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
I always fill up my holes with water too. I don't see that very often on the gardening channels I watch. We are kindred souls 😊
I love those shrubs. I see them around my area South Jersey. I was just going to say I never see that shrub in any of the nurseries. You are lucky to find them. That's great! Can't wait to see them grow in your yard.
I´ve actually bought two hydrangea penniculata because of you - in one of your recent videos you talked so enthusiastically about your limelight that ended up being it´s owner... well done! 😊
I just planted three Green Velvet Boxwood, two Little Giant Arborvitae, a Weigela Minor Black in addition to planting three Huecherella Pink Revolution and moved a small broadleaf Hydrangea, two Hosta, two Huechera and several Stella D’Oro daylilies. This time of year, I get very frustrated with how the garden looks while things are beginning to fade and prepare for winter after working so hard all spring and summer to keep them healthy. I’m in Zone 5b Upstate New York (Saratoga Region). PS very nice touch sending Garden Answer those beautiful cupcakes celebrating their YT achievement.
Good tip about watering the hole first!
The tranformation once tou took out those hostas...wow! That's going to look a lot better! Can't wait to see it in fall!
Awwww, doggo drinky. Love your videos!!! Thanks for all you do. I start my days with your new videos!
I can't stop watching your channel Erin amazingin your a doll keep up the good woke im learning so much from you 👷
Erin when will you be posting something new about your hydrangas
Don't want to miss it😊
I I have 10 so far and im so in love with them💓
Hydrangas
Awesome video packed with so much info as usual. I tend to use different descriptors. "Wild and crazy" to me means: Natural and dramatic// "spready and outta bounds" to me means: bountiful and overflowing. LOL I love your style which to me is romantic and lush with a little overflowing. ;)
I am looking out for some great deals at the local garden center as the season comes to an end. This past weekend I filled my pots and window boxes with mums and asters. Loved your video!
Delighted to see a new video from you. I was so inspired by your post the other day featuring a fellow gardeners’ photos of shrubs- great time to get out and plant!
LOL! I never stopped planting because I never stopped shopping for plants!
@ Karen Neal That's me, too! Most especially spring n summer!! I always think the neighbors will be thinking "Does she ever stop buying plants n flowers!!??"😅 Then I shake off the false guilt!😂🤣
Fun video Erin! I just now revamped a corner in my backyard that already had a flagstone path. I pulled out some horrible barberrys and two leafy, trailing evergreen bushes that always went out of contol. I tilled it all up and put in two pinkish panacle hydrangeas (one is Mega Mindy), 3 Robust Male ferns, and bordered with groupings of 3 heuchera colors: obsidian, gold zebra foamy bells, and more orange-green ones (no tag name), plus a Sedge Evergold perennial grass. Then red bark mulch. This is under two bright green Japanese maple trees and surrounded by more mature bushes, some flowering, deciduous. Looks wonderful so far. Though I mostly shop my local plant nurseries I purchased all these at Lowes because I was there and all their plants were beautiful and healthy!
Erin I just love the way you garden ,you are so knowledgeable,I watch all your videos!!❤️
I'm still planting too. Just planted a vanilla strawberry hydrangea in our front yard. There was never really landscaping in the front from the previous owners. Haven't fully decided what I am putting in. I am also cleaning up underneath our lilacs so I can out in bluebells and heucheras.
Loved the video. Especially the Bottlebrush Buckeye part. I'm totally jealous you were able to find such a large one to plant. I've gotten 4 different ones online but only one is truly thriving and it's still tiny compared to yours even though this is it's second season. However I also did manage to snag one of the Rodgers variety. BTW, that variety's full moniker is "Rodgers Serotina" I can already tell that it's growing at a much faster rate for me than the regular variety. I got it online from WoodlandersDOTnet. I just now checked and they currently only have the regular one for sale, so you're right, the Rodgers seems to be a little hard to come by.
Big fan. Thank you for all the info. Always look forward to your videos. Be safe.
Your Newfie is adorable!
I’m planting 13 limelight hydrangeas, 8 boho hydrangeas, 8 limetta hydrangeas as well as some perennial plants like hollyhock and shrubs blue flax that I started from seed a few weeks ago.
Love your garden. I see you planted a rose and a hydrangea. Do the deer eat them? They eat mine and they decimated my snow ball bush last night before I could get out of my chair the yell at them. I would love to plant some roses again.
@@sheilanokes3047 I'm sure this comment was probably directed to Erin, but I do have hydrangeas and roses in my garden as well.
I think deer will browse anything if they are hungry enough. I can't speak for Erin, but I live in a rural area, so they have more available to eat so they leave my hydrangeas alone. With roses, I personally plant David Austin roses. They have wicked thorns. I saw a deer nibble on one of my David Austin Roses. That was the last time that ever happened. On the other hand, I had a thornless hybrid musk rose they loved to eat. I sprayed it will deer repellent and that seemed to do the trick.
Eager to see the new shrubs as they mature! I had a hard time with you throwing out hostas! I just can't do it. My yard has plenty of shady places that are in need of some weed control that thick leaved hoastas can help with!
Thanks Erin. I totally love the planting best of all the fun gardening stuff.
I love your beautiful amber pottery, it looks very old.
Beautiful shrubs! Thirsty plant, thirsty dog!
Love love love my bottle brush buckeye. It was one of the most asked about plants when my garden was toured by the Kenosha 4 Seasons garden club. The butter yellow fall foliage is an added bonus!
Hey Erin..so glad you showed the bottle brush shrub. We had a hurricane the beginning of Aug that wreaked quite a bit of damage on our property. I had 3 giant pines come down and crush some forsythia bushes which I'm kinda glad they did because I never liked them. I'm going to try the bottle brush shrubs there. I too have heavy deer pressure so these should work in that spot. Love your videos!
@@creativelady7 Oh my gosh, that is so scary! So glad you didn't suffer any fire damage. And you're right, it is like starting over. I was going to work on the areas before winter but I decided to wait until spring. Not really up to it right now! Stay safe!
Fall is definitely the best time to plant shrubs, and other perennials. They will start growing in the spring before the soil can be tilled. Plant in the spring and you could be watering all summer. Then bells ring in the water department because they think I have a leak in my water line. I'm in zone six along southern Lake Erie. Glad I found you.
Virginia in northern Ohio
I’m just going to say this summer has been so hot and dry, we’re had 35 days of 30+ degrees. Rain I wish , so garden took a beating.
On the other hand yours looks great, thanks for sharing your plantings 👍❤️😊
Every fall I buy Emerald Green Arborvitae at Lowe’s for 70% off and have almost finished our north property line. So far they have all survived. I water regularly, apply anti desiccant and then deer repellent.. They get a little fertilizer in the spring.
I just planted two new hydrangeas (Diamond Rouge and Strawberry Sundae). I fell in love with hydrangeas just a couple of years ago after planting a native variety in my wildflower garden, a Pinky Winky, and a super showy Vanilla Strawberry 👍🏼
Wow, you have early access to the latest Quickfire Fab! We have to wait until spring 2021 to buy them here in Canada. Will be waiting for updates to see if it lives up to the claims on the PW website. 🙏😍🌸🇨🇦
Thank you for highlighting another native option! Sometimes it's challenging to figure out how to place the lesser known natives in an attractive way, so this was very helpful to see, especially for my woodland setting!
Jennifer Blalock yes, even more difficult to find straight native species. I have the same woodland property, just planted 7 bugbane (black cohosh) I’m hoping to fill in an area with these beauties. Added 2 spicebush also.
I love that you garden in your flip flops.. I should do that more myself.. otherwise,, my feet are bright white and my legs get tanned.. But Mr Safety (aka the spouse) would probably lecture me on how unsafe it is.
Be a gardening rebel! 😀
I love the bottlebrush buckeye! I saw them in a local arboretum in WV and they’re HUGE. Good to know about the sun flexibility, maybe I can find a spot for one yet 🤔 I love that you feature off-the-beaten-track plants 👍🏻 I just picked up a clethra, a few boxwoods, and a limoncello barberry on super clearance, I can’t ever say no to a cheap shrub 🙈
I, too, am redoing some flower beds. I planted a bottlebrush buckeye at the edge of our woods. It's now 5-6' tall and wide and the flowers are beautiful. The new shrub I'm excited about is Fire Light Tidbit. The nursery I work at got a bunch in, of course, I brought 2 home. I'm excited to see how they do. NW IN zone 5a/b.
Erin, I love watching your videos! It tickled me seeing you plant a Buckeye. Being born and raised in Ohio, I am definitely a Buckeye fan...whether it's the buckeye cookies or the trees or the nuts or The Ohio State Buckeyes football... I hope you enjoy your new plants as much as I enjoy watching you. O-H🌰
How funny, my cat drinks from the water hose!😄 yea! No deer! Love the rose. I can’t wait for it to stop raining to see how much dirt I have left in my garden! It’s been pouring pouring. I’m not sure how long it will be before I can even dig!😮
Just planted up this week Birchleaf Spirea ‘pink sparkler’ and Panicum Virgatum ‘prairie flame’. Great colour echoes. In zone6.
Hi Erin , Your Puppy was thirsty too, so cute, never heard of Bottlebrush Buckthorn before, it looks beautiful in bloom, good luck with it
I think amending the soil depends on where you live and how old the community is that you live in. New subdivisions out this way have subsoil as a base for their gardens. Horrid growing without amendments. You guys have wonderful soil! I have adobe for the most part.🤪
I'm loving your gardening flip flops. My go tos are Chacos. Big dogs are the best, ours is a Berner.
Bob Louie I was a Chacos loyalist for several years but then Olu Kai won my heart. Our next door neighbors have Berners so every once in a while they end up in the background of a video,
Some wild rose heuchera would look great intermingled with the hosta! Also, my Newfie drinks from the hose too which makes watering take twice as long but twice as much fun. Thanks for always inspiring and sharing!!!!
Erin,
I raided the Lowe's garden center this weekend and picked up 3 weigelas a little worse for the wear, but only $5 each. SCORE!!!! I am north of you in the Fox Cities so here is hoping for 6 more weeks of good weather!
Barbara Perez Great find!
Totally agree with your decision with the hostas. I’m always telling people if they really don’t like a plant get rid of it and let the space just be. The fun part is looking for the new plant. Maybe some dark leaf penstemons? Great video 👍
Bottlebrush buckeyes are very popular here in Georgia. My neighbor has one that borders our properties and it’s stunning. In spring the flowers are so striking and then it turns a brilliant yellow in the fall. I planted a baby one a few years ago and to say it’s a slow grower is putting it lightly . I have big hopes for it though !
Some beautiful shrubs!! Love seeing the sweet Newfie!! 💗💗
I so hope you do a video of you cleaning up that bed and how you go about doing the edging. You know anything you video we love!
White flowers pretty fragrant in the spring pretty good size
Where did summer go?!?! I bought a couple of Wichita Blue junipers and a Vanilla Spice clethra in early summer and I finally just planted the junipers... the clethra is still waiting very patiently in its tiny pot! I, too, think that planting is the best part of gardening! It's been a rough summer because we're also in the midst of a kitchen remodel so all of my garden dreams have been put on the back burner, so to speak. I think my husband is happy it was a slow year for planting... less for him to mow around! He's always telling me, "quit planting stuff!" I can't help it!!! Maybe I should just start moving the stuff I have around... that might work...
...til I see something new at the garden center... =D
Hey, I think some Cherry Truffle sedums would look pretty by that weigalia! I planted several of those earlier this summer and they did so good! Very pretty purple foliage all summer (I have them in full sun, zone 4) with dark pink flowers that the bees are loving right now, while the weigalia isn't in flower! Plus, it would be a nice contrast to your yellow fall colors there! Also would be easy to cut back and move from that spot too, if/when you need to.
Great suggestion! Thank you. Good luck with that kitchen remodel.
I love my tricolor beech. However two weeks ago during the derecho storm a tree fell on it. It was stripped of all it’s lower branches and the bark of one side. I hope the injury will not kill it ....it’s my favorite.
Hi Erin i would have taken those hosta's off your hands. I love hosta and felt sad when you dumped them. How are you still gardening in shorts and flip flops i have not been in the garden since Sunday been so wet and cold in Milwaukee. I forgot where, but i know you are in some part of Wisconsin.
Love your property Erin
I’m glad to see someone else gardens in flip flops. 😁 I’ve recently planted a Little Quick Fire hydrangea, and I’ve got a Heptacodium miconioides (Seven-son flower) coming soon that I’m equal parts excited and nervous about.
Its sometimes helpful to soak plant in water for several hrs before planting in hole already well soaked.
Anthony London Yes! Great suggestion!
Loved seeing Odin, too❤️. You could make a whole video of him, and I'd be happy.😁
I really like the Bottlebrush buckeye. They're going to be striking along your driveway. I recently planted a Vanilla Spice Summersweet Clethra. The pollinators love it. I'm also still planting perennials. Looking forward to seeing how things have grown in the new garden!
What about using them hostas down by the creek ? Tucked around the wooden bridge you made ? 😁 just an idea 💡
Yes, hate to see perfectly healthy plants killed for no reason. If there's no place for them call a few neighbors... I bet there's someone that would love to give them a home.
Just subscribed to your channel and I am hooked! I even forgive you for being a badger fan. A hardy hibiscus could be a pretty focal piece among the green garden!
Erin, I love all the new shrubs that you planted! I added several of them to my wish list for next year. I have three Japanese maple trees, and the dwarf ginkgo tree, Mariken', that I need to plant. I also have four hydrangea shrubs (one Incredibelle Ruby, and three Lava Lamp panicle hydrangeas), and a small reblooming lilac that needs to go into the ground. We finally are in a cool down and are getting rain. We had been in a severe drought and in the upper 90's until Sunday when the weather shifted. It's in the 40's today, and it has been raining, thank God, we desperately needed rain. What is the name of the Japanese Maple behind you at the 26:50 time stamp? I love the beautiful foliage! ~Margie
Green Thumbelina Oh wow you are adding some great plants. I’m envious of that ginkgo! The tree behind me is a real looker: Acer japonica Aconitifolium.
@@TheImpatientGardener A ginkgo tree should thrive in your area, most are hardy down to zone 3, but I'm sure you already knew that. I tried to find a narrow ginkgo tree, but on most sites, the prices were outrageous. I got my four trees from Mr. Maple, they are small but arrived in excellent condition. I'm anxious to get them planted.
Green Thumbelina I have a couple but ‘Mariken’ has been on my list for awhile.
@@TheImpatientGardener He is a cute little guy!
Hello, nice job! Loved seeing you in action for 1st time (for me- newby)!! Hoping All grows healthy & thrives! I'm rookie just learning from RUclips's experts & appreciate all good advice- but I do live in AZ zone 9-10, so I can only enjoy some plants thru channels like this one!! Nice garden, best wishes
The bottle brush buckeye are beautiful in bloom. I know they get huge but I didn't know they colonized. I admired an old and very established planting at a local garden center and was considering planting one a couple of years ago...definitely would not have been a good placement for the space I wanted it for 😬. They are going to look stunning on your property line!
Your pop up for the My Monet said My Money and I mean it’s not a lie since plants take a lot of my money 😂
I know. It autocorrected to something a little subliminal!
Lovely!!
Hey. Hey. Hey I'm a Buckeye. OH IO !!! Go Bucks! 😋.
Just planted 2 Bobo Hydrangeas and several perennials. Thank goodness ground still warm cuz this week not so much warm air!! Brr. Hope everything survives 🙄😬🙄 BTW thank you for selling me on Japanese Forest Grass. Bought H. gold over the weekend. Just the right pop of light in my shade garden. Also, edged my hostas around apple tree.. looks so good. We got a lot done on a great long weekend. Would like to find one or two more shrubs yet but not much selection left. Will be planting bulbs in a couple of weeks.
Gorgeous garden and great info!
Go Buckeyes!! ;)
I bought a Pearlific viburnum on clearance a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been waiting for it to cool off just a bit and will be planting it soon. I hope to find that hydrangea around here. I’ve seen it online and it looks beautiful.
Vin ordinaire hosta! I'm using that term!!!
Love it Erin!🌿💚🌱 Keep the great work up!🌿💚
Hi luv your videos 🌻. Just have to say I'm a Buckeye from O-H-I-O! And yes Buckeyes (candy) are quite tasty . GO BUCKS!!!!
Awesome Erin. Watch Garden Answer and she showed the cupcakes you sent for 1ML subs. They are so cute, where did you find them? You are too sweet. Too hot and windy to plant in Portland OR, but we can dream.
I live in Gresham and just this week revamped a semi shade bed with a couple hydrangeas, ferns, and huecheras. (See my other comment) Though its hot and dry I still did it and think all will be fine if I keep the plants soaked with hose. I love hot weather. (But not fires!!🥺)
Be brave! 😅😉
I'm down here in Eugene & it looks like its snowing - but w/ ash! All of my Supertunias & containers/hanging baskets looked so good! Now they are just so sad! Wilty, droopy, saggy sad!☹ Tried to go out & hose all the soot & ash off of everything, but it just probably helped the new stuff stick to it!!!😬

Your gardens are so pretty, Erin! I live in Houston, Texas and love learning about your neck of the woods! Do you have an aerial view of your property? I would love to see one to put things more in context and perspective. I wish we could grow some of the gorgeous plants that you have up north down here in the south. Thanks for sharing lots of great gardening tips and some fun laughs! We all need beauty and good humor these days❣️ Linda
Hi Erin, once more😂 Im Ultimate Gardening(Emmanuel Arce) love the videos keep the great work up! You always have been a huge inspiration to me! Never stop! Thanks gor inspiring me and many others! Love the video! Hope one day we can collab! Maybe I have to grow a bit more😂 but maybe in the future! Happy Gardening🌿💚
Sincerely- Emmanuel Arce/Ultimate Gardening
Great info. Thanks for sharing. I just planted 2 different varieties of hydrangea and some spirea.
A fringe tree would work good there too
Dean Anderson I have one but it’s not been a great performer for me. They also need to be treated with a systematic insecticide here because they are the one other host plant for the emerald ash borer, which we have huge problems with.
@@TheImpatientGardener EAB, however, is unable to attack Chinese fringe trees according to existing studies. In our case, we went with a Japanese snowbell - that just happened to also have purple foliage! #Lemons #Lemonade
Your dogs are so adorable!!! Thanks hoping it cools off here soon in NW fl to be able to tackle weeds Remulch here & get my hands dirty again it’s just oppressive heat/humidity now😖
I would highly suggest getting the Root Slayer shovel from Amazon. We have a lot of roots and hard clay soil. It slices right through both of them, love love the shovel so much so I bought two of them lol. 🌱💚🌸🌲
When I had a variegated weigelia the tips of the leaves got regularly burned by the sun in summer. And it was in half shade. Hope yours fare better.
I still have to get a climbing hydrangea in the ground, having a hard time with location.
