Move the lamb's ear to be with your purple and pink flowers for a pretty contrast. Though many folks don't love the stachys flower, I can't help but notice how much the bees love them in my gardens. I'm all for supporting our pollinators and the flower has so many clusters for the bees to easily move on. They are lovely to touch when not blooming, so maybe close to a walkway. Just found you recently and for me, watching your videos is a fun/peaceful respite. Lots of great tips and items, and your crew is awesome. All of you have such a friendly nature. Thank you for providing this content for us all!
I’d divide the blob and plant 2-3 more along the same brick wall. The contrast is stunning.
Exactly what I was thinking. I see one nice large spot, for sure.😊
Agree
I agree. I like the contrast.
I like the lambs ear idea, as well:)
I agree. it pulls the light grey color from the house.
I love the contrast of the lambs ear and I’d repeat some silver through the bed.
Agreed. Some more lamb's ear or artemisia or dusty miller to punctuate the expanse of green/reddish foliage.
YES USE blues and silvers to diverse the colors.
Linda, I think lambs ear should go. It doesn't fit with the other plants. Your place is beautiful. Love to ya pat ❤
I really like the gray plant but just add a few more along the wall so it blends.
I would leave the lambs ear , put a couple other clusters of it along the brick wall area . I think planting a silver falls to drape and cascade down the wall in several areas would look stunning ! The lighter color / smooth texture, like the lambs ear , would off set all the other plant foliage texture you have along the wall. It will actually lead your eye through the garden to where your other lighter shade color plants are, hydrangeas,. Also trimming the flower off of the lambs ear will definitely give it a different look that you may like better.thanks for your videos, it’s my zen to watch. 🥰
Question of the Day: I would split up the lamb's ear, and distribute the smaller pieces along the wall. I think the contrast is lovely.
I love the lambs ear i would add more along that wall i love the contrast breaks up all that green
Exactly what I thought!
Don’t grieve sis , it looked like an old nest. The rain just cleaned up for you. 🦋💖
The lamb's ear is a beautiful contrast color to all the other plants. I don't really like the blooms, but the pollinators sure do!!! I vote to leave them.
I think the lamb’s ear looks great against the gray bark of the hollies. I am a fan.❤
I love the lambs ear. I imagine the kids (and adults) walking by would reach out and touch its velvety softness. The garden is blooming beautifully!
I like the Lamb's Ear, especially in front of the tree behind it that is also kind of silvery gray. Another boxwood just seems blah to me.
Another vote to add more Lambs Ear. I like how it breaks up all of the green, and think adding 2 or 4 more would be a nice touch. And, speaking of touch, what a lovely plant for people to pet as they walk by on the sidewalk.
Rather than relocating it, I agree, repeat it several times thru the bed. Lambs ear and I are BFF's.
Keep the lamb sear. I’d intersperse it to form a lovely contrasting pattern.
I love the lamb’s ear … looks fab in the current spot. 😍
I like the Lamb’sEar where it is now and ,as it spreads it’s nice for your neighbors to observe as they pass by that area.
Lambs ear is a nice contrast
I like lamb's ear in a border, but it does need to be divided to keep it in check. I would also think the neighborhood children would enjoy touching it too.
Hello! Nice to meet you. I like growing plants and gardening, I find peace and relaxation. Life is increasingly stressful, only the green color of trees can create for us the most relaxing environment and best health.
I love the lamb’s ear, and would vote for adding some more throughout that line of sight so that this one chunk doesn’t stand out so much. ❤
I like the color, it’s a great different color mix with all the green.
I also like the texture of the lambs ear against the smaller leaves in the shrubs. it even brings out the bark in the tree.
🌿💗💐 Regarding the Lamb's Ear, I offer two options. Option 1 is to divide it into 3 total pieces and evenly distribute it along the wall. (I have the same issue with the silver plants. They are too bright for my taste but they have exploded for me. It is counterintuitive to add more but distributing it evenly makes a positive difference). Option 2 is to relocate it closer to the corner which eliminates the disruption it is creating for you (of the lush greens), but helps anchor the corner and ties in with the dusty miller on the other side of the front walkway. 😅 💗🌿
Adding a deep purple next to the Lambs Ears,may give it a new stage!
Beautiful garden Linda🙏🏼😇👍👌💯🌹
I say move the blob! 😊
I’d divide the lambs ear into small chunks so you can create rhythm and contrast along the brick wall. I’m thinking about six to eight feet apart but it’s hard to tell scale on the screen.
I’d even continue it all the way back to the gate if/when you have enough. Plant them next to the wall and they’ll drape just a bit.
Then I’d put something red behind the lambs ear where the original clump was to break up the green around it.
It will be gorgeous!!
I would keep the gray it looks great breaks up all the green
Love your videos. Have you ever done a night backyard tour with your string lights on? I bet it is beautiful at night.
You can relocate the Lamb’s Ear to my house! I love it, love the color.
I like the lambs ears where it is, I would add more to a different nearby area.
We have also had so much rain. 6” Yes, move the lambs ear.
Thanks to Linda on two counts today: 1) Removing male pumpkin/squash flowers to promote more females. That was my problem with summer squash last year! 2) Convincing me to pinch plants...with proof. And a belated hats-off for making me a believer in her backyard vision. Took me a while but I love it. Says something about ignoring the naysayers. Side note: I'd move the lamb's ear, as much as I love that plant, simply because there are no visible cool echoes along that warm stretch. Either take it out or mix in more silvers/grays. I'm for removing because, for me, that is a visual extension of "autumn's edge" with its warmer tones.
It should go
I agree with you Linda as far as the Lamb’s Ear not looking ideal in that spot. I have a great idea which I just did myself for my Lamb’s Ear, put them in pots!!! They look so good in a contrasting container color like black, and then you can move them anywhere you want to give extra contrast / interest to your “theatre” of potted plants. I find I’m enjoying them more this way.
Thanks for another great video as always and still making time for your “RUclips Family” in the midst of all your busyness! Enjoy every minute while your son is visiting as well!!!🥰
If possible, the lamb’s ear might be planted around the grey rock area farther down the side, to harmonize with the rocks, perhaps even added in a few pots near the bench.
If you're going to move the lambs ears, I'd put them over where you were thinking about putting the Dusty Miller on the west side. Otherwise, I do like it where it is and I'd divide it up and string it out along the wall.
Love the view in the front! Your garden is just so beautiful.
Yes , agree 😊
I laughed when you said you were going to hit a high of 90. Our high today was closer to 110 in the low AZ desert.
I like the lambs ear. Pollinators really love it. I vote leave it 😜
MY TIP OF THE DAY . . . I got a 5 foot standard/topiary red Knockout rose for Mother's Day. It is top heavy in its 20 inch terracotta pot. A tall wooden stake was not working. So, I had a 5 foot shepherds hook and I used it and it works beautifully. The design of the bottom makes for a firm grip and I wove the hook among the branches which helps to strengthen it. I tied it to the trunk of the rose with a soft cord. It is not even noticeable. Problem solved! --Sheila McDade in Chattanooga, TN
I love lambs' ears for my garden since they grow in very tough conditions. You do not seem to have the same challenges I do (deer predation and a rocky soil area) so you have the option of putting in a plant that better fits your vision. As for issues here, we seem to have more slugs than ever and are experiencing the dreaded spongy moth caterpillars.🦋🦋🦋
Do you have some birdhouses to help the birds in your extreme weather?
Move the lambs ear to where the dusty Miller was overgrown.
It will provide some gray and not block the view.
Leave lambs here matches the grey trunks of that tree. Has purple flowers looks nice I think
I love the Lamb's Ear, but I think you need more of it along that wall.
I love the lambs ear contrast just not the blooms but not a problem for a pruner maniac like you! lol I would keep and maybe add some in front of the red barberry or maybe tie it in with that gorgeous artemesia -
I would relocate it to an area where there are white flowers or pink, blue and purple flowers or foliage I agree with what you said Linda. It looks out of place with the shades of autumnal colours that you have in that section of your garden. 💚
Ill second and third and forth the idea of dividing the Lambs Ears and placing some throughout the garden
Why not transplant the lambs ear on the west side of the terrace near your neighbor where you wanted to put that "wacked" Dusty Miller .Some blue angelonia would be pretty along the east terrace street side wall..Looking Good Linda!
I agree with you, I think it should move into the back. Replace: boxwood would co tinue the look and frame it. If you want some color there, salvia it taller with color, gara is airy. You always make a good choice.......your pumpkin. You put last year? Lo e the idea so cute.
I so enjoyed seeing you on the Wednesday Walk About in the shade. I remember the first things you planted in the new garden were the trees. Good call. Linda, I truly enjoy watching you. Thanks for all that you do.
I would also say the lambs ears look really good and would probably look better repeated along the edge.
I understand that they don’t fit into your scheme of autumns edge, but they are a beautiful summer look.
Do they survive your winter? If not take them out for autumn and replant for the next season.
I would repeat the lamb’s ear along the same area, it just needs some companions. Everything is looking great!
The Lamb's Ear looks out place only because you need some more in that area to balance it out. Just my opinion. However if you move it, it would look great wherever you decide to put it. At the end of the day, it's YOUR garden, so do what YOU like. 😊
The gray blob should take a hike!! 😅
I think the lamb's ear is a dividing point between the boxwood and roses. I'd trim it, and divide it, keeping it smaller and in check. I think the contrast in color and texture is pleasing.
I love the silvery contrast.😊
I love the contrast that it gives to the garden. Keep it and possibly do a drift on down the wall and then find other places that need lightning up and use it there too. It will always be the gift that keeps on giving because it always needs to be devided. But it's a lovely plant!
Beautiful arrangement!
I would definitely relocate somewhere on the other side of your garden.. I think Autumn Joy Sedum, Dragons Blood Sedum or so sort of Coneflowers would look Great there.. I have several dragons blood sedums through out my garden and I LOVE it.. Can't wait to see what you decide..
You’re absolutely right! It should go! It’s not natural looking there!
Let the grey go at the front,
you can plant it at the east-side near the bench or chimney…
I also like the lambs ear but what about another rose by it after you split it some. You have some other spots along the wall that are blank you could tuck in some more lambs ear. Everything looks beautiful though.
I love it just add more
You have a very informative channel and I certainly enjoy watching and learning. On the Lambs Ear plant, I would divide and place along the brick wall.
I’d move it to the spot where you want to move the dusty miller; same color and more mature.
Love that lamb ears contrasting interest!!!
Personally, I think you need more of that silver white to break up the darker colors. I would either divide that clump or move that dusty miller over to that area. The biggest thing for menon that side is the harsh edge of the brick. In my humble opinion, you need something to soften the edges.
To me, the lamb’s ear might best be moved to the other side of the garden.
I loved the tulip lane this spring, and I like the space you have allowed for that to be a strong presence every year.
Removing the lamb’s ear would give you more space for your always fabulous spring tulip palooza! 🌷
I think the lambs ear would contrast well with the orange rocket barberry.
Linda, with all the tornados in OK, where do you go for safety in the cottage when receiving a tornado warning?
Amazing yard transformation. Beautiful.
I love the silver gray of the lambs ear. when you look towards the tree, it works well and it's a nice pop of brightness along that mile of green plants. do your thing and pop a dusty miller somewhere further down the row so you see the silver gray again. I would not remove it.
Gorgeous
I think it needs to move, the cool tone of the blue grey is not echoed by other nearby plants. Or you need more of it dotted along the wall.
I would move the lambs ear..yard is scrumptious...love❤
I love the Lamb's Ear! I would keep it.
Want to add yes the lambs ear should be moved it’s to bright for that spot with your talent I am sure you will find the perfect spot👌🥰😎
When i find fallen nest I tuck them in planted pots among the flowets and add a ceramic bird. Its adorable!
I bought one of the aluminum hoses that you use. Love love it.
We've had a lot of rain this spring in New Jersey and my perennials are growing like crazy and my hydrangeas have tons of buds. I can't wait until they bloom.
Let it go Linda. Also I love it when Leah makes an appearance on your vids.
Hi, would love close ups of things Linda is pointing out…… wanted to see what powdery mildew looks like 😊
Put the grey silver foliage to the backyard. It would fit in there beautifully!
lamb's Ears should be divided and go to backyard Linda, they will add to your cool grey tones you like so much there, beautiful garden!
Love those cute little emerging pumpkins! 🎃🎃🎃
Add more 2 more lambs ear in triangle to balance original clump.Love grey in the garden. I always thought it gives a garden a special punctuation. A rest for the eye.
Stay!
Relocate them as they have the same light colour as the tree trunks and you have lighter areas inside. But it sticks out on the edge!
Please share the name of the yellow bushes in the front garden. Your yard is really pretty in all season. Thank you
Linda, I am in love with your backyard extension of your living space, I saw the vision you had, but it has exceeded my vision of what you where going for, also love the front 🥰but the back is my fav 👌what a great talent you have
I love the contrast and would divide the lambs ear. It is lovely when it has the clumps draping much like hosta leaves. It is strange that it is putting up flowers, I thought most were sterile. Although I too have a lamb’s ear covered in flowers this year. Out of 10 plants, only one has the flower spikes.
Yes, relocate the “grey blob.”
Overall, your garden looks so pretty!
Linda, I’ve read that yes, deer won’t eat rocket barberry, but as they pass by with deer ticks on their hide, the barberry attracts the type of ticks that carry lyme disease. The ticks make a home for themselves at the base of the rocket barberry.
I can’t give you the source of where I read that but I decided, with all the deer around where I live, growing pretty rocket barberry is not worth the risk of getting lyme disease.
You likely don’t have deer in your urban setting.
Beautiful garden that you know very well and love! You don't seem too thrilled with the location of your lamb's ears so I would remove them and maybe put some in a new location. I agree, I think a boxwood would look good with the others along the wall. I was going to do some installations today;hydrangeas,sedum, and add another heuchera around the tree in the backyard, mulch etc, but land is just too wet although indoor plants need to be taken care of along with cooking and garage could be neatened up! We have also had alot of rain in Indiana so contractors are backed up & the bottom of the shed looks like groundhogs are chewing on the wood. They'll get here one day! Thank you,Linda for your fun video & have a great day!
Lamb's ear out!❤
If you are not happy with the lambs ear, I say move it. Personally, I love the contrast and the texture of lambs ear In a garden. I really keep mine at bay though. They spread like crazy if I don't. Pretty walk about your garden. Thanks for sharing.
Whatever happened to the seeds you planted in back of the garage by the street? I love your 🧣 scarf. Thanks
