- When you find a plant sale there's nothing to do but buy what you need, am I right? I picked up "a few things" to help fill the gaps in the circle garden.

“I’m just being honest . “ I hate mulching …… I just don’t like doing it”. AND this is why we love you ! Your honesty is refreshing 😂😂😂❤
Can I just say how refreshing it is to find a channel using an actual shovel? ❤ You're an inspiration.
😂😂I know right
Thank you for ur honestly on ur way of gardening. I get upset with myself because I feel gardens should be perfect. U have made me understand that gardens aren't perfect but to enjoy all the steps and to have fun .... thank you so much ..love ur videos especially especially
..lol..what do they use?
Yes! Luv it! Gardening can be some healthy work for body and soul🎉 Digging with a shovel is high on my list!!!!
Erin, pop off a piece of your watermelon coleus and put it where you need more it in a pot temporarily to grow it on. I couldn’t find enough of the one I was using and with daily water my cuttings took off within a week! Thanks for the plant haul video ❤
It really works.. have done it in many pots 👍💯
I finally got a metal shot glass in ounces and metric, dedicated to the back yard where the fertilizes is kept.
Love your Channel. Retired Nurse, 5 ml is 1 tsp. 😊 ❤❤❤
@@marilynruggeberg Thank you!!!
@@TheImpatientGardener 60 years ago, when I was in grade school, we learned that the US was going metric soon!
As a Canadian I agree 😊
Wish we had plant sales like yours.
I also caved and bought some 50% off lantanas and dark sweet potato vibes at Bayside. I also bought some big salvias. I just love the fill a cart sale! It’s just so fun! Even if the price was higher than the $60, there’s something fun about it!
Love my lantana…love full sun all day and heat tolerant. Finally blooming-many bright yellow blooms. Enjoy!!
Thank you for saying the name of the nursery!
My local nursery sold locally sourced (NH) bulk leaf mulch this year. It is so beautiful- finely ground and lightweight but doesn’t blow away or disperse in heavy rain, and it will easily decompose. This is the first year I have not hated mulching!
I’m lucky that my husband is obsessed with mulching and edging. If I had to it would never get done because I hate both.
Our nurseries all had their plant sales but its been 103 for 3 weeks and no rain so i didnt indulge . Just struggling to keep everything alive for another month until we will drop into the 90's! So just enjoying watching your filling in holes and sprucing up ! I needed that ! Thanks a bunch .
I love mulching! It's like putting icing on a cake, I love the look and the benefits are awesome!
My complaint with mulch is when landscapers create volcanoes around trees and plants. The mulch should never touch the stems of the plants.
@@marcellacoblentz8433 That is a high crime of a different level. Landscapers who do that must be the same ones who sell people new trees after thru die from suffocation.
Every time I see those volcanos it drives me crazy !!! I would think any true landscaper would know better ??? !!!!!
Hey Erin, now I don't feel so bad buying a mandevilla at 50% off last week. I see its soft peach color every time I look out our bedroom window. Just lovely and just for me!
Erin, thanks for keeping it real I agree mulch stinks.
I buy Land and sea compost to top dress. That stuff is gold for the gardens.
Not familiar with that compost. Sounds good.
Just what i needed before bed 😅
I just bought a Fizzy Mizzie online from Home Depot. It was clearance priced and the shipping was free!!!
Yay for a trunkful of plants!
That was fun, thanks! 💚 I love to mulch (use either compost or “soil conditioner “), but only because the end result looks so good! I plant & manage flower beds at my church & planted those zinnias & they’re just gorgeous (hope the rabbits give you a break!)
The midnight sun weigelia is so, so good! I wish it was evergreen but I might have to get one anyway. I’ve been looking for a red foliage plant that stays on the shorter side and this might just be the ticket!
I love your videos so much 😂 So honest and fun to watch!
Loving these late season refreshes!
Oooo good finds!! I totally guilty of buying at random, but with perennials for a sunny bed that I just expand and fill in here and there every year. I don’t feel at all bad about it until I under water them and my husband points out how sad they look 😣
Yes! A requirement 😂 love what you picked !
Refreshing to have someone honest. 🍃🌿💚
What was the name of the you tube channel you mentioned. 🍃🌿
OMG! You have flip flops on. I dropped my Felco’s on the top on my foot pointy side down wearing flip flops. Let’s just say I had to go to the medi center. 🌼🐝
Love seeing what other people buy !!!
I hate mulching too. I usually do it when I plant but never seem to get into established areas to renew. I use our own chopped leaves and I know it would help improve the soil but it's still mulching.
You’re so lucky to be able to find such nice looking plants at this time of year! I can never find anything good right now.
Rabbit and Deer and Voles, oh my! Erin, I feel you there. They have eaten so many of my beautiful plants! My big learning lesson for this year was what NOT to plant lol. Rather, what to start indoors and/or keep protected. 😋
Warm greetings from metric Canada.🇨🇦
5ml =1 teaspoon
Might try Bluestone Perennials for the itea.
Love your videos, so amusing & honest, plus I learn lots of little Tips.
I really want some millenium alliums in my garden!
I have been carrying around the plant tag for the pink and white zinnia searching for it in every garden center I visited in 2024, no luck.. It's called Profusion Cherry Bicolor.
They were everywhere in 2023. I did find the standard cherry bicolor. However in 2024 there was a new Profusion orange with a reddish center. Now I want both in 2025. Wish me luck!
30 ml = 1 oz Love watching you, you always make me chuckle, and have taught me so much about planting. Thank you!!! 🌺🌼🌸🌼🌺
It makes me happy that other people have jobs they dislike in the garden. In Iowa = similar to your area and I have hit the wall. Once winter arrives I will want to be outside playing in the dirt. I suppose I will get up and get something done because it is beautiful outside and enjoy the weather while I can.
The view of the water droplets cascading toward the camera was cool!
Love your videos ~
We turned our old fire bowl into a very neat looking reflection pool using your tips of the black pond dye etc
FYI 5 ml is 1 tsp.
I love your honesty. It's heartening to see that it's not just my zinnias that are either eaten by rabbits or just getting started. I have one patch of zinnia that just didn't come up. Another patch of zinnia was supposed to be 10 to 12 inches tall. They are now anywhere from 2 to 4 feet tall and hiding the plants behind them. I have a patch of hollyhocks that I seeded. They came up ok and got attacked by slugs or earwigs. I treated for that. Then the rabbits found them. None grew taller that 4 inches. I do have some successes so overall I'm happy with the garden.
Erin,
Love the fuchsia tee--great color on ya! 😊
Thanks for telling us that we still have half the season less. I want to plant and buy more!
Great additions, Erin! I mixed profusion zinnias and Magellan zinnias and love the combo so much! Both have nice low mounding habit. One has cute small bloom/leaves and the other has big bold blooms and larger leaves.
I have to agree with you about mulch. It’s a chore, I tend to under mulch! My garden has filled in so much I don’t have a lot of bare earth.
You are inspiring me to head back to the nurseries next week to see what I can find. I was ill this spring so some of my pots and beds never even got planted up. Fortunately cleome, verbena bonariensis and some other things re-seeded themselves in front of the house -- it looks a bit wild but there are plenty of blooms. There are usually some great deals on hydrangeas as the summer winds down and they have done well for me with fall planting. We don't usually get a frost here until late October so, as you said, there is plenty of time left to replace what didn't work or just to enjoy some additional color. My car never comes back from the nursery half full! .
1 tsp is 5mls. 1Tbsp is 15,;So you're right.
How do you usually water? I don't see an irrigation system. Also, my husband and I have a going joke about leaving the "d** hose" out after watering. Haha😅 you're so fun! "Honestly" 😃
Our greenhouse Wenkes in kalamazoo Michigan has the same sale every year. Never miss it.
You cant go wrong with mulch and seaweed fertilizer.
That garden circle will look totally refreshed after a week or two of regular watering.
White Armerias are alot hardier than alyssum, if you want to try something new.
Due to their thicker stems, might make it through your winter, if you cut them back and cover in mulch.
Jo.😊
Love your channel. It’s very relatable and real in comparison to other gardening RUclips channels! Everything is looking tired down here in SE Georgia, but we power through. I definitely have to pile on the mulch down here to keep everyone alive. I also don’t feel like it haha! I’ve been buying plants for weeks knowing good and well I need a truck load of mulch instead 😂
Enjoy your weekend ❤
I NEED profusion zinnias in those colors !I randomly threw seed for the orange and a mix I got from BC seeds and they are the BEST filler in the garden ! ❤😊
Yes! Plant sales!
My skyscraper salvia was and is also a disappointment.
Love where you put the zinnias. Cherry Bi color profusion zinnia ☺️
Erin, I like the way you plant clearance shop. That Creeping Zinnia was a complete dud for me two years in a row. I gave up on it even though I fell in love with pics of it cascading out of planters, etc. It just doesn't want to grow. Those Alliums look amazing this far into the season; I'm tempted - lol. I might just make a quick trip to our large plant nursery near me and see if they have anything discounted yet.
I just don’t feel like doing it 😂 I can relate to this statement so much. I love buying and planting. But I hate mulching.
😊
Erin, reading and saying my secret thoughts …
Instead of looking for 2 more Fizzy Mizzy plants, have you thought about extending the Cherry Cordial color with a plant or two in that bare spot?
We never have these sales around here…or maybe I’m just not looking for them 😂
Hate to tell you Erin but the rabbits do eat the wire vine.
Love watching what you are up to in the garden! Is too late for me to cut back my lady’s mantel? I’m zone 5b.
You should get a commission for reminding us to get to the Bayside sale!
Where do you buy that Basil seed? So pretty! Great refresh to your garden!
This was so inspiring…I’ve got a bunch of holes too and could just use a refresh. Erin, any recommendations for nurseries in the SE Wisconsin area with a decent stock of annuals? I’m in Milwaukee and will drive for a good variety of healthy plants!
Boy those “sale” plants look better than the full price+ new season plants here. Unbelievable 😢 the sale plants here are almost dead/dead things you really don’t want anyway. It’s been so hot and humid here I have weeds up to my waist and I’m still not going out there. I’m 78 this is the hottest wettest summer of my life. Younger trees in my woodlands are falling over… this may be the end of my gardening life. 😢
Wishing your video was longer. 🤗 did I miss where you planted the yellow flowers? 😂 thank you always for sharing.
Inspiring
My rabbits eat my seed grown zinnias but never the profusions 🤷🏼♀️ They LOVE my yellow bidens 😑
Last few years I had a feral cat that kept the rabbits away and the bidens were beautiful. Ps -5ml is a teaspoon
Erin, do you have an in ground irrigation or sprinkler system? If not, how do you manage watering your garden? Do you think it is worth the investment? New gardener here 🙋🏻♀️
5-10 ml = 1-2 teaspoons but I’m sure a tablespoon would be ok.
(1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons.)
Does your Salvia Argentina winter over in your area?
where are you located i love your channel i am moving to galena ill trying to learn all i can about northern illinois planting
I could really use the moisture retention mulch provides, but doesn’t it deter self-sowing? Or is it ok if you apply it thinly?
5 ml is 1 tsp, 15 ml is 1 tbsp
We have a big lake near us that is clean enough for swimming and fishing, and no dangerous chemicals as far as I know. We have access to the lake for outdoor watering but I am hesitant to use the water on edible plants. For that reason, I shy away from mixing edible and ornamental plants together - I don't know if the water is safe enough to be used everywhere in the garden when watering is needed. As a master gardener, what is your recommendation about using lake water (not Lake Michigan) to water edible plants?
Can I ask why you dont want to use synthetic fertilizers in the flower gardens? Curious since you are not eating the plants.
I terrible about going for something specific and coming home with totally different plants . ... Ugh
Is it possible to over fertilize? I was using up some fish fertilizer on perennials and I think I damaged my sun king aralias.😔 The leaves started turning yellow and dropping. Then some animal started digging up the roots, maybe from the fish smell!! I am crossing my fingers that I can get them through the season and they'll come back next year.
Love those salvias you cut back. They're not perennials for you, are they? Did you start from seed? And the white and pink zinnias look terrific in the bed with the Wild Magic basil: also, did you grow from seed? If so, where did you get seeds? Gorgeous garden beds!
Could you propagate the coleus? Or not enough time?
5ml = 1 teaspoon
i thimk those itea will spread.
I love your videos. But it was kind of hard to see the blossoms on the flowers you shared.
Wire vine in open ground? Warn your viewers. Don't you think all those seedy chives distract from the choice plants in the bed?
