    I love watching new gardens come alive. I've watched Garden Answer since the start of her RUclips channel and the progress they have made is absolutely amazing. I know yours will be also.

    • @TheSouthernersNorthernGarden

      Thank you! It’s a process, but I’m definitely going to try to keep it manageable to just myself. :) It’ll still be a lot of work, but I enjoy the process.

    No need to apologize, Matthew! As a seasoned gardener, I understand how important it is to have the infrastructure right before moving to the next step. You accomplished a lot in one weekend! The garden will be great!

    Real life gardening ... ONLY WAY for anyone to "learn". It NEVER is pretty to begin with BUT usually spectacular when completed. How exciting. 🎉

    @anythingsassy9005 2 месяца назад +2

    I giggled a little bit, when you said ,“ I don’t know if I’ll be able to move tomorrow” 😁. Gardening is hard work…That happened to me and that’s why I have a heating pad by my bedside. But it’s so satisfying when you see what you accomplished!

  • @sandyg8794
    @sandyg8794 2 месяца назад

    Hi Matthew! You really got a lot done. The front bed and the bed by the fence are looking good. I like the new plants you bought. The rose trellis by the house is so pretty, ad the posts for the roses look good. Thank you so much for sharing!

    Wow it's looking great. I know it's hard work, especially when you're doing it yourself, but you've done an amazing job. Yea for Mantis - I love mine. Oh, that rose trellis against the house is just gorgeous. Can't wait for the roses to claim it as their own. Take care, Matthew!

    Hey Matthew - just wanted to say your videos gave me a lot of inspiration when I was doing a lot of planting a few years ago. Since then I've been consuming less "gardening youtube" since everything is in the ground and growing. But the algorithm sent me your way, so I just wanted to say thanks and I hope you are doing well!

  • @kathrynmettelka7216
    @kathrynmettelka7216 2 месяца назад

    Establishing new gardens takes an incredible amount of work, as you demonstrated. Because I’m much older, I have to do sections each spring and fall. Then too life trumps garden planning. We had to make an emergency medical trip because a family member was in the ICU. Fortunately he is recovering, but some new plants are not, and I can’t find replacements. Developing a zen tranquility is hard though I’m trying.

    yay! What a massive amount of prep work you have done! As you say, it will be well worth it to have your fence free and clear into the future. 💜💙💚💫 Redbud is looking gorgeous. The roses will look fabulous on your arbour. The curves on your extended bed are so pleasing! So exciting for us all to be seeing you establish your new garden. Thanks for bringing us along. Love and Blessings.

    OMG the gooseneck loosestrife - at my old townhouse I bought a small $2 container of that, it was worse than planting aggressive mint. I spent HOURS digging it out of several beds. will NEVER buy that again lol. Watching the "it gets ugly before it looks good" is what I need.. I have 1/2 an acre with NOTHING but 3 mature spruce trees and half of the land is clay/rocks and weeds and I am discouraged. I will be doing the no dig method and try to get some beds going to feel like I am making SOME progress. Thank you for your videos

  • @shirleyvastine9328
    @shirleyvastine9328 2 месяца назад +3

    All that digging around that fence is a testiment to your youth! I'm aching just thinking about it!😂 Do you have a way to keep the grass from growing back under the fence line?

    • @TheSouthernersNorthernGarden
      @TheSouthernersNorthernGarden  2 месяца назад +2

      The other side is also going to be a flower bed of mixed shrubs and trees. So that won’t be a problem. :) I’ll start that process after I get all my other items planted in May.

    Matthew, since you like berries in floral arrangements, check out the Floralberry series of St. John's Wort (if you haven't already).

    • @TheSouthernersNorthernGarden
      @TheSouthernersNorthernGarden  2 месяца назад +2

      I had three of those at the last home. Interestingly, I’ve not seen them anywhere since I purchased them a couple years ago. I’ll have to keep my eye out.

  • @jennaandparkerstaggs1113

Great ideas you offer..

    Beautiful variegated dogwood.
    I like the new curve at the front entrance. It draws you into the property nicely.
    I always learn something from your channel as you are one of the only gardeners who research things before doing anything.
    Since your property gets alot of wind, it might be worth planting a windbreaker hedge where needed.
    Baby steps....
    😊Jo

    What kind of fertilizer do you use on your boxwoods?

    • @TheSouthernersNorthernGarden
      @TheSouthernersNorthernGarden  2 месяца назад +1

      I’ve not been in a habit of fertilizing with any specific fertilizer. I’ve previously used HollyTone as I can find it cheaply around here and it naturally brings down the pH of our higher alkaline soil. But I’ve also sprayed them with a foliar fertilizer in the past too.

  • @vickiemifflin2854
    @vickiemifflin2854 2 месяца назад +2

    You have such an amazing vision. It’s all going to be beautiful. Do you have Japanese Beetles on your roses. I’m in KY and I’ve just given up on roses because of them. I don’t want to use harsh chemical because of the wildlife, Bees, etc.

    • @TheSouthernersNorthernGarden
      @TheSouthernersNorthernGarden  2 месяца назад +1

      I completely understand! I’m not sure what it’ll be like on this new property. At my last property I had a really bad case of them my first year gardening. Everyone locally did. Then I didn’t have any issues afterwards. We will see.

  • @nicolemartins7577
    @nicolemartins7577 2 месяца назад

    Any concern about planting the holly in alkaline soil? Thinking about purchasing a castle spire but the ph has me worried.

    • @TheSouthernersNorthernGarden
      @TheSouthernersNorthernGarden  2 месяца назад +1

      I haven't checked the soil yet at this new home for pH yet. It's on my very long to do list. But, I'll also probably heavily amend the soil with pine bark as well. Hopefully both will be happy.

    I think that you got a lot done ! ! ! I hand dug edging today on a flower bed that hasn’t been edged before . Not too bad for a 70 year old. Of course I have several more spots that need edging but as you said baby steps. 🪻🌷💚🙃
