What a delight your channel is. I have learned a lot! We live in Seattle and I've been able to compare with relative ease to our space here. Thank you!
Thank you! I heard about your designs and garden via Hardy plant society. I also live in Portland and going to PCC for landscape design. It has been so much joys watching your videos and finding inspiration.
I wish you had shown us you digging up those grasses. It would be helpful to see practical things like that as well as the beautiful design components.
Love your garden. Loved your process. What is growing directly under your blueberry bush? Also what sort of light does your blueberry bush get? Thanks!
Hmmmm.... The only plant that I didn't explicitly ID is an Epimedium x 'Rubrum'...perhaps that's what you're seeing? Here's a link: www.egardengo.com/plant/epimedium-x-rubrum
Good question! I'll try to do a video soon to talk about that. In short, I have an irrigation system but I try to run it very sparingly. I watch the garden closely and do supplemental hand watering as needed. I have some sections that use drip and other sections that use spray. Both ways of delivering water have pros and cons.
Loved the blueberry as a pretty landscape plant. Do you have any other examples of edible plants tucked into the landscape ? How long did it take to grow the blueberry to that canopy?
I don't have in terms of full sun but I grow a few edibles. I'm growing some kale here and there as an edger and strawberries in a big patio pot. I have several dwarf Raspberry Shortcake® Raspberry that are doing great for me in large containers as well.
Your garden looks great as usual. Thanks for sharing! Do any plants come to mind that can provide the evergreen structure you're talking about but provide more benefits to wildlife (or me) than the grass or boxwood? Maybe I could prune a sweet box into a tight shape? (FWIW, zone 8, mostly shade)
In general blooming plants (ones that will provide scent or fodder for wildlife) will be a bit more picky about pruning--the timing and amount taken would have an impact on the desired effect provided by said flower and/or berry. That said, I'm sure there are some others...I'll have to think about that a bit. Though do keep in mind that these plants were chosen for their small and malleable growth habit, leaving plenty of room for lots of other wonderful plants. For example, the hummingbirds adore the mahonia, abutilon, etc.and I adore the blueberry for its fruit and fall color. So I guess I'm saying that the trick is to not give up too much space to the structure-making plants. Maybe we *can* have it all :-)

Glad you found my channels. Good luck with your PCC studies!

I plant pretty densely and edit fairly regularly.👩🌾
I love to see what is going on at different times in the garden😊❤️😊
More to come!
I really enjoyed this!
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼

I enjoy watching the videos of your gardens, and the process of creating/editing them. In terms of maintenance, how do you water your gardens?

@@eGardenGo That's fantastic info and perspective. I'm sold. My garden and I thank you.
Do you get snow in your area.
We do, but only occasionally and *usually* not much and it doesn’t stick around for long. Ice storms can be an issue.
Yes it looks better without the grasses.
I think so too!
