I planted one Little Quick Fire. Love it! I only planted ONE, because I knew the deer would be a problem. I thought I could protect just one plant....but no. The deer are relentless. I am planning to remove it. So very sad! I loved the 787% humidity comment. I have been joking lately that i need to garden in scuba gear so I can breathe under all the water in the air. Your hedge will be gorgeous! Can't wait to see it in full glory!
Oh Kristy, deer are horrible with their love of hydrangeas. ☹️ I’m glad you bought only one (bright side?!?) Scuba gear is a great description! 🤿 Just standing outside, not yet moving, and my skin begins to glisten - at least that’s a nice way to say it. 🥵🙂🙃
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊 Here’s a video I did last August of the entire front yard: ruclips.net/video/Upl5SxEzyYs/видео.htmlsi=WOZBhF5jyAlL4dR6 Although I’ve added some plants since then, the video will give you a nice overview. Enjoy! 🌸🌳
Beautiful little shrub Laura! I love the textured leaves and that pink hue looks beautiful with the blue star juniper. I’m jealous of your Kramers Red Winter Heath!!! I was inspired by yours and did plant some this past Spring, along with some daffodils and grape hyacinth. Two of the Kramers Red look just okay, and the third is really struggling. I think I haven’t been providing enough water with the long stretches of heat we had this summer. Hoping for some pretty color this winter and into the Spring!!🤞🏼
Thanks Allison! 🤗 Don’t give up on the Kramers Heath - just keep giving them lots of water. It may take longer for them to settle in, with the horrible heat we’ve had. But once they settle in, although they still appreciate water they can handle less of it once established. Are you seeing any of the flower buds yet?
@@GardenSanityactually yes!! I looked this evening and the 2 better looking plants do have plenty of bright green. My sad looking plant also has some buds!!
Awesome!! Hooray for those tiny buds! 😀 I have a Kramer’s Red that had struggled for many years, but I kept it. It’s finally starting to look respectable. 🤣 Hopefully yours will improve and by next year will look like your others. 💜
Nice! You got me thinking about planting more hydrangeas. Maybe, you could do a hedge of Tiny Tuff Stuff right behind it under the maple tree? Or just one to see if you like it. I have a glass of cuttings sitting on my counter. Wish me luck!
Oh a hedge of Tiny Tuff Stuff sounds nice Will, especially if your cuttings make up part of the hedge! Yes I still have Tiny Tuff Stuff on my “list” as well as filling up the space around the maple tree. I keep thinking more hellebores for under the tree. I definitely want to tuck at least one TTS in somewhere. 👍
@willaerley7140 Thanks Will, but keep those for your own garden. 🤗 Since Tiny Tuff Stuff is a patented plant, it’s actually not legal to propagate the plants and share with others while the plant is under patent (similar to copyright). But no worries as I know I’ll add one…hopefully next year! 🤞💙🙏
Getting that fan! Will be great for sitting out on my deck also! More hydrangeas! Yes. Never enough as they are showy and low maintenance. Never a wrong time to plant as my addiction needs constant playing in the dirt. Actually heading out now hoping to find some sad plants on sale😜
The fan has made such a huge difference! I also use it to keep pesky mosquitoes away from my legs. 😳 You’re so right about these hydrangeas being showy yet low-maintenance. 🤗 Hope you find some plants today! 🪴🪴🪴
Thank you! 😊 If you watch the section on “pint-sized planting pots up close” at minute 2:14 - I covered where I got them and put it on the screen, and that they always have sales. Scroll up to the description area for the clickable table of contents called Chapter links. 👍💛🌸 PS - I love smaller plants too - much easier to tuck into the garden!
You already KNOW I love the hydrangeas - but the fan is genius...
🤣 Yes to you loving hydrangeas! That fan is my new garden buddy and has made gardening in horrible humidity actually enjoyable!
YAY!!!! You added more tiny quick fires 💛💛💛💛💛! Cannot wait to see them grow up and fill in that space!!!!
Hi Elise! I’m thankful for your suggestion to plant more in that spot! ❤️ Next year should be very pretty! 🌸🌸🌸
@@GardenSanity it was a joy to brainstorm & dream with you, Laura!!!!!! 💛
❤️🤗❤️
I think I need one or two of these little cuties ❤
They really are wonderful with their long season of color-changing flowers Lisa. 🌸 Hope you can find room for one…or two! 😉
That will be a beautiful hedge!
Thanks Jean! I’m looking forward to a flower-filled hedge next year! 🌸🌸🌸😊
Thank you for sharing it’s going to look lovely ❤
My pleasure Maureen! ❤️ I can’t wait to see it next Summer! 🌸🌸🌸

I planted to 2 quart size BOBO several weeks ago. They are thriving plus lots of rain from Debby.
I love the smaller size pots, and I love that your little Bobos are thriving! (I also love our plants getting watered from the rain too!) 🤗☂️
Thanks for Shari about the fan!
You’re welcome! It has been a total game changer for me this Summer. ☀️😀
Ty for sharing eould love to see all of you garden though, have a great week

@@GardenSanity If I get some roots, I’d be happy to send some. It’s my first try.

@@GardenSanity never thought about the mosquitoes!
@maryk1668 I can easily become obsessed with mosquitoes, usually after they become obsessed with me! 😂🦟
@@GardenSanity That’s a good idea! I have a mosquito zone and they don’t fly well into the breeze.
That’s what makes this fan so handy: lightweight yet rugged so I can carry it around but not baby it. I don’t do well with mosquito bites. 😬
Nice! Where did you buy those plants? I prefer small plants
