That's hilarious !!!! My last dog - an Aussie Poo would attack the cat every time I sneezed. It would be a scramble of dog and cat every single time..... Now I sneeze - and my new dog doesn't flinch and the cat - looks at me knowingly with the Thank God expression....
Oh no your poor cat! We were just on a vacation without the dog and we're so used to disguising our sneezing, that we unknowingly continued on vacation. Gotta love our furry friends. ❤
Erin, I enjoyed this video immensely! You are so-down-to-earth and honest, showing both your successes, as well as the not so wonderful gardening misfortunes. Gardening is an adventure that lasts a lifetime for those of us who are passionate about it. There are always things we wish we had done differently, and Mother Nature's mood swings are beyond our control. Your stock tank water garden is a fun addition to your vegetable garden. I love it! Now I need to get my rear in gear and go plant tulips and daffodils! ~Margie
Urban cucumber! 😆 Seriously, your gardening "fails" are still inspiring because it goes to show us that it can happen to all of us. Life happens. As long as we make the best of it and keep on gardening, it's all good. 💚🌿 I absolutely LOVE your stock tank pond, btw. 🥰
Love your veggie garden design! The pumpkin vine is beautiful, making her own statement! I'd stick that cocktail tomato in a Bloody Mary with celery 🤪! LOVE your water garden and those type of water lilies and pads. Beautiful .. Cheers! 🦋 nice music
So much I can relate to here! Thanks, Erin, for sharing the real life of your garden. Your garden is so beautiful and you are an inspiration. I sometimes get weary watching others “plant some seeds and look, perfect results!” because it so often doesn’t work that way for me. This is closer to what I experience in my own garden, so I feel like a more resilient gardener when I am reminded that everyone has successes and challenges. It is beautiful and rewarding even when it’s a little neglected or didn’t come together as we’d hoped. Love your content, thanks for continuing to share with us!
I actually gave up my vegetable garden a few years ago, everything ripened at the hottest time of the year, all at the same time, with bugs and rabbits and we just don’t have enough time.......I like vegetable gardens, but now only grow one tomato plant which is more tomatoes than we can eat. To be honest my gardening love is in my flower beds 🌸🌸🌸. Love your videos!!! Even the vegetable garden! 🥰😌😉
Holy basil!! What a nice harvest. I am glad you are enjoying your stock tank pond! That's really what we garden for!! And I am in agreement with you regarding that amaranth. The brown one! ☺ always enjoy your tours, Erin. Thank you!
I love watching your videos, I dont know how you work full time, and have a beautiful garden and flowerbeds. You are my favorite gardener. I learn so much from you. Bless you and stay safe.
Thank you Erin for all of your great videos this year!! I refer my fellow WI gardeners to your channel for all of your dahlias expertise as this was the first time for me growing dahlias and I am completely smitten!!! Please continue sharing your garden with us - we love it!!!💜💜💜
Erin, I love how you garden. It's like I would if I had the space and lived in a place with trees and a bit more rain. I started watching your channel about a year ago. It wasn't your garden that caught my attention, at first, though I love it! It was your accent. My dearest and best friend sounded a lot like you do. We lost her to a stroke almost 4 years ago. She was here in Texas with me 4 years ago today! It was so important for her to get here. See, she was born and raised in Upstate New York in a small town called Phelps. It's just south of Rochester. She got transplanted to Texas because she wanted to go to college some place that had a good music program and was completely different from where she had been living. Well, she found it! I'm in the Texas Panhandle and it's nothing like your beautiful tree filled, crick running, lakes and, well, we're not the same at all! She always kept her accent which she argued, in fun, that we had the accent down here, she didn't have an accent! Haha!!! Anyway, she and her family moved back to NY in the mid to late 90s. I didn't know what I was gonna do without her?! Our lives were very entwined from working a small business together and I helped her home school her daughter and and and.... We could go shop at Wal-Mart and have a blast doing, together. Well, I survived the move because We could still talk on the phone and I was truly happy that she was back home. We made a trip up there in 2008 and spent a week with her. It was perfect and we had such a great time together! Then, after her being here 4 years ago, in early December, she had a stroke and died within hours of it! I was devastated, again by her loss on this earth! I had figured out how to deal with her being up there, but, Heaven is even further away than Upstate NY and even though I know that she's alive and feeling better than best and with our Lord Jesus Christ, I've been pretty changed by her not being here. Erin, your voice and attitude are similar to Anne's and it brings me joy and peace to hear you and see what you're doing in your garden. Anne loved to garden and she she had flowers and veggies and horses, dogs, cats and other critters, too. It warms my heart and brings me joy to see the new postings. Thank you for being you and sharing you and being real! Blessings to you from a dry, windy and thirsty land! ❤🙂
You are awesome! I really appreciate your honesty and how true you are. Thank you for all the hints and tips. I ALWAYS look forward to the next video. Be well.
Your yard looks beautiful! Im glad you post what works, and what doesn't! They really aren't failures, it's how we all learn. 🌾🍁🌾 What was the name of the long skinny cucumber?
I love the layout and structure of your beautiful vegetable garden!! Some years are more productive than others for every one, but if you don't plant you get nothing. Thanks for sharing yours with us!!
Slugs were a big problem for us this year too. What's to hate about the stock tank pond?! I love it. Anyone that gardens for long knows you win some and you loss some. Have a fab weelend!
I learned that I can't tackle too many areas at one time, I neglected the veggies and they reflected that but I also learned a lot. I'm going to scale back my veggie plans for next year because I will still be working on new gardens and infrastructure. I need to limit variety and focus on what we really eat a lot of. It's so great to see how the Belgian Fence is coming along!
Rabbits? Try beaver... Last year they sawed off a beautiful oak. Wrapping the birch and weeping willow this year with hardware cloth as I guess they are a favorite. I could have cried! Then they didn't even take the damn thing! Love the realness of your gardening. I put rubber snakes by my shrubs as I heard bunnys hate snakes. Even a hunk of covered wire bent can work! Gardening can be a crapshoot but so rewarding if it works! You have so much energy! I could watch you all day. Appreciate the time you take to video for us. Greetings from northwestern Wisconsin. Zone 3a
Loved your video. I think your garden looks great. Loved all the updates on the climbing trees and vines. Also, loved your comment on Garden Answer about Aaron and the AC/DC music. lol
I totally get how the veggie garden got behind because you had another huge project underway. We can only do so much with the time we have. There's always next year :) I love the pond. I'm trying to visualize how slugs got in there.....
I love this garden. I want to latch and unlatch that gate; i would put a bench in front of the Belgian fence so i could admire it daily while smelling sweet peas and snacking on tomatoes.
Don’t apologize, it looks lovely and gives comfort to those of us planning big gardens when we don’t get everything done in the time we had hoped! The winter squash are a huge success. Love your style and casual approach!!
I really love your whole set up and asthetic.. the pergola, fencing, raised beds, that stock tank.. All of it. Do you have problems with mosquitoes around the water? They're horrible in Oklahoma.
The veg garden is looking great. I love Sunshine squash. As good as Buttercup. Curious for the cucumbers your growing. They look good and the stock pond is fantastic.
Thanks for sharing both your successes and your failures, it was a similar story for me this year. Also love that you make it beautiful by adding in the roses and boxwoods. What can I say? I love a garden with “balls”! 😆🟢🟢🟢
I have a surprise pumpkin in one of my front barrels, the seeds must've been in my compost but I actually have little white pumpkins! I love surprises. My beans looked great but did not put on any beans, so weird, I grow them every year so I haven't a clue what went wrong. My cucumbers have been outstanding too. Loved the tour. I just got two more raised beds for my veggie area.
Erin, I love your vegetable garden!! There are things in there I didn’t even know you had! Please don’t forget about it again!! The Belgium Fence looks awesome!
I planted the English cucumbers from Renee's garden this year and they are wonderful. So tasty and I also made refrigerator dill pickle spears with them. Very good. Thank you for your inspiration.
Bless you (you sneezed)!! You are a very talented gardener!! Love seeing your garden come to fruition. Always something new and interesting. Thank you for providing inspirational and educational videos.
Thank you for sharing how things are not always perfect. I live in central Illinois and with the explosion of rain my tomatoes burst and split. I just lost my energy with them too. So it is ok too.
Your garden is wonderful Erin. It's always fun and interesting to see someone else's garden and it's funny how others see past all the crummy stuff we dislike about it isn't it? Slugs were my #1 nemesis here too. Everyone seemed to be having issues with them. I vote they get pest of 2020! Your pumpkin was what I experienced with one of my cucumbers this year. It was planted later than my regular cukes and then too it's sweet time and I managed to fett one cucumber off of it just barely and the smoke we had here in Portland took the plants down. Oh well...there's always next year. Love the Envy Zinnias and sweet peas. That green Love Lies Bleeding is fabulous. Green flowers add so much interest to cut arangements. Youb are right about needing the right color of flowers to use hot biscuits. I was thinking how something the color of or maybe even pumpkins themselves would look work with it. Then the creamy colors...oh gosh, I'm going to think about that one. I bet some perennials out there have leaves and flowers that would work very well as they tend to come in tones more suitable to use with that color. There is also dying the blooms...tint them with floral spray dye. Love a Good color challenge. The Belgian fence is looking so good. That water tank...let the haters hate, what a wonderful idea and having water in the garden like that is really good for pollinators to drink on those hot days too. Beautiful water lily.
Oh the monarchs! Love them! Great video as always, and so funny too! We can all relate to the ups and downs of gardening! I'm SO interested in that cloud pruning you were talking about! "We'll hope for balls all stuck together sometime" LOL!!! That creates more than one visual in the mind!!! =D
I loveee Zinnias. I grew ours in late August and now seeing some blooms. They're by my mailbox area. Hottest and hardest part for me to grow anything in but they're taking off 😀
I had a good tomato year in western ky. actually still have some green tomatoes on the vine. Some of the things I make with my tomatoes. Rotel style tomatoes, Green tomato salsa verde, Green tomato ketchup, ( which is awesome). Ive put some in the freezer to can later too.
You got a lot from your garden this year, I think and I cannot believe your Apple tree is bearing this year. Love your water pond, that Lilly is beautiful🍁🍁🍁
Fried green tomatoes and a relish made with green tomato and onions, basil, or whatever herb you enjoy. A few things to be done with green tomatoes. Great garden. Wish I had a water pond like yours. Virginia in Ohio
I love the way you have it fenced in, its neat and tidy looking. I don't like raised beds or container gardening for vegetables. I've tried several times and it just doesn't produce good fruits/veggies. I'm going to do this next season but I'm just going to grow my veggies the old fashioned way in the ground but I may steal your fence idea so it looks neat, LOL.
Your garden looks amazing. Tomatoes are incredible. I'm in Ga and the tomatoes have been gone for 2 months. I made marinara with all of mine- Am on the last jar of that ! I, too, love tomatoes !
I love your veg garden. I also will grow veg this year again in raised beds. The little pont is great and it is good for bees and co. You need to try potatos again. Could be yours did not have enougth water or you did have to much plantfood in the ground. Than they make lots of growth on top but not much potatos. And try different kinds. I am doing at least 10 different ones this year. In the beds and in bags. I really like blue and red potatos. Beans and potatos grow good together. Runter bean " Princess Diana ' is a great one. And a tip for the 🐌 . I use sheepwool. I lay it on the ground just behind the rim. Slugs hate to go over sheepwool and it is a great longtime plantfood and stores water. You can get Sheepwool and sheepwoolpellets online. Or you can put a coperstrip around the top of the beds. They hate to go on metal. It is like burning them. Good luck with your veg this year. I will grow lots of new veg this year and lots of old goodies. 🙂
Oil cure your cherry tomatoes & plum tomatoes. Roast in oven. Cool pack them tight in jars. Add herbs of choice and garlic. Fill entire jar with olive oil. Use a knife around sides to make sure you don't have any air pockets. Oil must complete cover the tomatoes. Put the lid on. Store in the refrigerator. Use all winter long. Make sure they're always covered with the oil so they don't spoil.
How the heck can rabbits get up into your raised beds?! I'm going to hire someone to install skirting around my low deck and put hardware cloth behind it to keep critters out of there. My neighbor has seen bunnies, cats and I recently saw a mouse scurry under there in the daytime. I grew that same tower basil, in a large container with parsley and rosemary. I should have cut it way back because it's living up to its name. I love the smell when I brush up against it. It even perfumes the air when I water my garden and the spray hits the foliage.
IDK how much you spent at petco, but you can get whole pannels (16ft for $50) at your local farm supply store and cut them down as needed. Hog panels will have larger grid, but goat/horse panel looks like that, just larger :) Not sure if you need that much, but figured I'd mention it just in case! Dana T.
Thanks for your tour. You are very entertaining and I love the Belgium fence. Could you snap a picture of the tri-colored beech for Instagram. I love those trees and I’m curious on how your new tree is doing it’s first year. Thanks for all you do!!
You may say you don’t know water gardening but a couple tips I got from you last year are the black pond dye and the solar fountain. The dye was a game changer for hiding the mechanics and the fountain just made me smile. However the deer ate the leaves of the water lily so the are small. I have overwintered hardy water lilies successfully numerous times by putting them in a garbage bag in my basement crawl space.
Commenting in hopes that they, or Erin, will remind me, too... Thanks for asking. I was gonna do that but you did the bragging on how amazing it's doing better than me. ❤😃
Deborah Pellerito you can cut away the brown parts to green wood and they should fill back in, assuming you’re not dealing with something like boxwood blight.
Your garden is beautiful! Love the structure of your garden and always look forward to your videos. I like the look of your compost bins, where can I get one?
I love the leg kick sneeze. My Welsh Terrier becomes psychotic when our family sneezes. We've had to become creative with our sneezing techniques 🤣
That's hilarious !!!! My last dog - an Aussie Poo would attack the cat every time I sneezed. It would be a scramble of dog and cat every single time..... Now I sneeze - and my new dog doesn't flinch and the cat - looks at me knowingly with the Thank God expression....
Oh no your poor cat! We were just on a vacation without the dog and we're so used to disguising our sneezing, that we unknowingly continued on vacation. Gotta love our furry friends. ❤
Shari Glasser that IS so Terrier. 😂
@@sarahr2498🤣 haha. I've come to learn they have soo many quirks

I can't believe you are not proud of that garden. I hope my garden looks half as good as yours next year. Keep up the good work!
Love your veggie garden design! The pumpkin vine is beautiful, making her own statement! I'd stick that cocktail tomato in a Bloody Mary with celery 🤪!
LOVE your water garden and those type of water lilies and pads. Beautiful .. Cheers! 🦋 nice music

It looks pretty darn great to me! Thanks for inviting us in for a peek! 👀🍅🌸
I am so impressed and excited about the espalier trees along the fence!! Way to go. I will love watching the progress, thanks
You’re “failures” still look pretty good to me., the garden is beautiful and I love how you always try new things!
It makes me so relieved to see that your tomato plants look like mine.
Love your vids Erin... real gardening ❤🌱.
🤣🤣🤣 balls all stuck together!! That sounds like a party!

I like how the butternut squash look like their sleeping
That is the most beautiful garden I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love it ! I love the pond and the Belgium fences !
I like your attitude about the water feature. We all need a spirit of fun and experimentation.
Erin, I love how you garden. It's like I would if I had the space and lived in a place with trees and a bit more rain.

I just love watching your videos, wish you were able to do more of them, but I realize you have a FT job as well. Thank you for the ones you do...
There's so many things that are successful in your garden , don't be too hard on yourself. It's always good to know how other's have problems.
You are awesome! I really appreciate your honesty and how true you are. Thank you for all the hints and tips. I ALWAYS look forward to the next video. Be well.

just found you. Love the relaxed natural presentation and gardening in the real world. Thanks
Rabbits? Try beaver... Last year they sawed off a beautiful oak. Wrapping the birch and weeping willow this year with hardware cloth as I guess they are a favorite. I could have cried!

I LOVE your galvanized tank pond!
I am so excited to see what happens with those boxwood. I am obsessed with this look.
Loved your video. I think your garden looks great. Loved all the updates on the climbing trees and vines. Also, loved your comment on Garden Answer about Aaron and the AC/DC music. lol
I totally get how the veggie garden got behind because you had another huge project underway. We can only do so much with the time we have. There's always next year :) I love the pond.

I have to say I do enjoy watching your videos

You are an awesome gardener and enjoy your channel very much!!
My eye went to those box hedges before you even mentioned them- that is going to be so cool!
Thanks for the update on your garden, Erin. I enjoyed it!
Don’t apologize, it looks lovely and gives comfort to those of us planning big gardens when we don’t get everything done in the time we had hoped! The winter squash are a huge success. Love your style and casual approach!!
You have a Great vegetable garden, love everything about it, better luck next year
I really love your whole set up and asthetic.. the pergola, fencing, raised beds, that stock tank.. All of it. Do you have problems with mosquitoes around the water? They're horrible in Oklahoma.
Oh this is a beautiful garden! I’ve been looking for inspiration on a good layout and this may be the best one I’ve seen💚 Thank you for sharing!
The veg garden is looking great. I love Sunshine squash. As good as Buttercup. Curious for the cucumbers your growing. They look good and the stock pond is fantastic.
Again living the music (share info) was and your garden!
Thanks for sharing both your successes and your failures, it was a similar story for me this year. Also love that you make it beautiful by adding in the roses and boxwoods. What can I say? I love a garden with “balls”! 😆🟢🟢🟢
God Bless You ERIN!! 🥰🥰
Wow! The herb bed was amazing!

I absolutely love the design of your veggie garden. The high raised beds are a must!! Showing it to my husband so he knows what I want!!
Beautiful vegetable garden! You did great Erin! Thank you for sharing!
I love that garden gate.
Bless you (you sneezed)!! You are a very talented gardener!! Love seeing your garden come to fruition. Always something new and interesting. Thank you for providing inspirational and educational videos.
Love that water lily💮
Thank you for sharing how things are not always perfect. I live in central Illinois and with the explosion of rain my tomatoes burst and split. I just lost my energy with them too. So it is ok too.

"Balls all stuck together" lol!
Would LOVE for you to share how you are preserving your basil (and other herbs)!
I loveee Zinnias. I grew ours in late August and now seeing some blooms. They're by my mailbox area. Hottest and hardest part for me to grow anything in but they're taking off 😀
The garden looks great and happy to me
I had a good tomato year in western ky. actually still have some green tomatoes on the vine. Some of the things I make with my tomatoes. Rotel style tomatoes, Green tomato salsa verde, Green tomato ketchup, ( which is awesome). Ive put some in the freezer to can later too.
In my mind I was already trying to figure out what Urban Cucumber was. LOL! Thanks for your vidoes! :D
Oh give yourself grace!! The garden didn't look that bad!! I enjoyed the tour!! 💗💗💗💗
You got a lot from your garden this year, I think and I cannot believe your Apple tree is bearing this year. Love your water pond, that Lilly is beautiful🍁🍁🍁
Really excited to see how the cloud balls turn out, I just picked up some boxwood to topiary
Thanks for sharing 😊 You can only do so much. I think it looks nice 😁
That garden looks great especially for end of the summer season.
Fried green tomatoes and a relish made with green tomato and onions, basil, or whatever herb you enjoy. A few things to be done with green tomatoes. Great garden. Wish I had a water pond like yours. Virginia in Ohio
Your. Eve table garden set up is my Dream. I absolutely love it
It is definitely my dream veg garden! I spent a lot of years designing it in my head before it came to be.
I love the stock tub!!!! That is a beautiful Lily. Mine have all quit blooming even the tropical.
I love the way you have it fenced in, its neat and tidy looking. I don't like raised beds or container gardening for vegetables. I've tried several times and it just doesn't produce good fruits/veggies. I'm going to do this next season but I'm just going to grow my veggies the old fashioned way in the ground but I may steal your fence idea so it looks neat, LOL.
I said bless you when you sneezed lol. Garden still looks great!
Thank you! 😀
Your garden looks amazing. Tomatoes are incredible. I'm in Ga and the tomatoes have been gone for 2 months. I made marinara with all of mine- Am on the last jar of that ! I, too, love tomatoes !

You can get Sheepwool and sheepwoolpellets online. Or you can put a coperstrip around the top of the beds. They hate to go on metal. It is like burning them. Good luck with your veg this year. I will grow lots of new veg this year and lots of old goodies. 🙂
You made me feel better about my sad pumpkin this year. The deer ate the whole vine to the ground.
Oil cure your cherry tomatoes & plum tomatoes. Roast in oven. Cool pack them tight in jars. Add herbs of choice and garlic. Fill entire jar with olive oil. Use a knife around sides to make sure you don't have any air pockets. Oil must complete cover the tomatoes. Put the lid on. Store in the refrigerator. Use all winter long. Make sure they're always covered with the oil so they don't spoil.
Just beautiful beds😀
I just love all your garden design ,the plants ,it gives so much inspiration,thank you!
That gate latch 😳♥️♥️♥️♥️
You crack me up which helps me learn and remember!! I’m envious of your garden fencing and gate. 💜 My zucchini have been eaten by squirrels 🤨
try sluggo plus for snails and slugs. or copper tape on edge of the raised beds.
How the heck can rabbits get up into your raised beds?!
I'm going to hire someone to install skirting around my low deck and put hardware cloth behind it to keep critters out of there. My neighbor has seen bunnies, cats and I recently saw a mouse scurry under there in the daytime.
I grew that same tower basil, in a large container with parsley and rosemary. I should have cut it way back because it's living up to its name. I love the smell when I brush up against it. It even perfumes the air when I water my garden and the spray hits the foliage.
IDK how much you spent at petco, but you can get whole pannels (16ft for $50) at your local farm supply store and cut them down as needed. Hog panels will have larger grid, but goat/horse panel looks like that, just larger :) Not sure if you need that much, but figured I'd mention it just in case!

i appreciate the imperfections, makes mine seem less of a disaster!
That brandy Fred tomato looks obscene!
Thanks for your tour. You are very entertaining and I love the Belgium fence. Could you snap a picture of the tri-colored beech for Instagram. I love those trees and I’m curious on how your new tree is doing it’s first year. Thanks for all you do!!
You may say you don’t know water gardening but a couple tips I got from you last year are the black pond dye and the solar fountain. The dye was a game changer for hiding the mechanics and the fountain just made me smile. However the deer ate the leaves of the water lily so the are small. I have overwintered hardy water lilies successfully numerous times by putting them in a garbage bag in my basement crawl space.
So interesting to see a cloud garden in it's growing stages. Did you do an update on the hornbeams? I'm interested to see how/if you limbed them up.
WOW the Belgian fence is so cool! I have got to find a place in my yard for one! Can someone remind me what kind of trees were used to do it?
Commenting in hopes that they, or Erin, will remind me, too... Thanks for asking. I was gonna do that but you did the bragging on how amazing it's doing better than me. ❤😃
Bless you
I like it!! :) great job!
Erin I love your boxwoods mine turned brown in the middle after 7 years of being in my front yard they were so pretty
Deborah Pellerito you can cut away the brown parts to green wood and they should fill back in, assuming you’re not dealing with something like boxwood blight.
@@TheImpatientGardener Thankyou so much Erin I don't think it's blight
Your garden is beautiful! Love the structure of your garden and always look forward to your videos. I like the look of your compost bins, where can I get one?
I can Spaghetti sauce, zucchini salsa, peach BBQ sauce, plain tomatoes, and tomato jam. So many uses for tomato abundance.
Did you say peach BBQ sauce? Um ... yum!
