The trees you planted between you and your neighbors have grown so much! The hemlock is so pretty!
Love all of your dahlias ! And those bananas 😮
Hi Erin, your garden looks amazing. Such a creative eye for combining plants. I planted four aronias and they look like yours. Such a disappointing shrub. Also you are looking beautiful, I think you have lost weight. Super dry summer here in Virginia too.
I love the beauty of your garden. You filled my heart with inspiration! Thank you for this wonderful tour! You are so loved!
Loved the hummingbird at the end of your video! All your plants are looking very lush and beautiful! Love banana #2-it’s so huge! Your hydrangea are still white or pink and gorgeous while mine in 6a are brown and ugly! Michigan/Wisconsin are the perfect place to grow hydrangea. I think! Enjoy! Old man winter will be here before we know it!!!
What kind of banana plant? Anyone know for sure 🙂
What about a couple of the willows instead of the Japanese maple near the creek, once you're done with them in the containers? Hardier, might not need to be containerized? Or would the willows be too aggressive? Might look more natural than the maple, not that that necessarily matters….
Always fun seeing what’s going on. Thanks!
Thank you for the tour! Your garden is just so peaceful and lovely. Loved the hummingbird!
Great tour, your garden is so varied and well planned.
Renting space in a greenhouse this winter? Interesting… tell us more.
Orange Fields are lighter more reddish orangy color, I wish it would be possible to add a photo here. I have them planted with heleniums. Also Cornus mas berries are very healthy food, as all sour berries like cranberry etc. It is very popular for making jam in South Europe and Central Asia. I just bought a sweeter sort and can’t wait for some berries next year
Never too long Erin. Thank you for sharing your journey.😊
Such beautiful gardens!! Thank you for taking us along.
Beautiful! Everything looks great! Crossing fingers for some rain soon!
Which greenhouse are you going to take your agave too? How does that process work?
LOVE seeing the hummer behind you at the window box during the outro!!
Erin,
Till I saw you standing in front of it @ your opening, I couldn't believe how huge Banana 2.0 had grown–WOW!!! 😯😯😯
Erin, I believe this garden season was a hard one. I’m in Maryland and this summer was extremely hot. I do have some annuals who made it to fall and I got a few new ones who are doing great right now. I’m looking forward to next season and now I’m planting more perennials. Thanks for the tour ,you’re doing great job.
Thanks!
Verbena 'Bampton' has perennialized for me (4a, sandy soil)! It is such a good plant! I have tried for YEARS to capture it on film. It just does not photograph well. Love the Heuchera 'Autumn Bride'– it is such an underrated coral bells! It definitely makes a statement in the border and is growth-y unlike a lot of the newer cultivars. The Sedum 'Neon' and Queen Tut Papyrus IS a good textural contrast!
No not too long. Really enjoyed it. I think I was most impressed by the shared. It looks amazing considering it’s only a year old. Good job!
the neighborhood service berries are all almost completely leaf free and look terrible. mine looks terrible but again it is 22 years old.
Have you tried growing hypericum shrubs? They ad lots of color and are low maintenance too. Love your garden and videos.
Erin,
Is the "Fiona Sunrise" jasmine winter hardy in your area?
I really like the liguilaria to fill in by creek. A cool look. Also, curious why some of my Dahlia's are just barely blooming. Love the tour!
Love the hummingbird in your outro
Thanks so much for sharing your garden! I love the 'Wild Magic' basil and so many other things in your garden 😄 Where do you get the seed for 'Wild Magic' basil?
Your outro was so sweet with the hummingbird hovering near the window boxes. Great tour Erin, thanks for sharing!
So excited to see you got the red leaf hydrangea you talked about last year. I got one this spring because you introduced it. Thank you for your real life garden talks. I don't feel so bad about taking plants out. I either give them away or move them to another place. I live in an urban inner city area and have place un-wanted plants in paper bags with note on care on the corner for passer bys.
Love the humming bird over your left shoulder in your summary.
The willow in your planter: will you use the dried branches in arrangements?
Where did you find your HS First Date tubers? I bought some this year and the quality was so poor only 1 of 6 even grew.
Is it possible that banana #2 is bigger because the soil in the pot get hotter than in the ground ? Expected you to have moved the new hydrangeas to the middle of your window. While you were planting them I was trying to push them to the right! 😂
Beautiful, Erin! Wanted to see more about your hornbeam hedge. Am currently into learning about pleaching and I think hornbeams are good for this?
Erin garden tours are never too long for me!! So many wonderful plants to enjoy and so much inspiration – I have such a long list of plant material for late fall planting if I can find it or for next spring for sure.
Please do not be the least concerned about how long your videos are because I love every minute of them!
Does this banana make me look small??? Wow! What a Beauty 💚🙌🌿
A-CO-NI-TUM instead of A-CON-Ti-UM
Fun fact on the HS Dahlias…it means Happy Single.
Beautiful gardens! How do you get all this work done? You are amazing! 😮
Wonderful tour! Everything is so beautiful and things are filling in nicely 💚💚💚
Brilliant Erin 👌
Deer! I hope whoever reads this comment, tries this.
I scoured YT videos to find help with deer and landed on a comment that has helped my garden tremendously this year. It’s simple and cheap.
A farmer commented that he keeps a radio in his field. The deer won’t come around because they can hear people talking. He said they got used to the music and but they stay away from “people”, he swore by it.
I experimented, I put on someone’s YouTube video playlist for 8 hours every night, leave my Bose speaker on my deck. It’s not up loud, just enough to appear like someone is chatting in my yard.
It’s been working. One night, I intentionally didn’t put out any noise, to see if they would come and they did. In fact, my security cameras picked up 3 deer, 4 raccoons and 6 skunks. All mamas and their babies.
They ate several of my hydrangeas, a thorny rose (shocking), phlox, Lillie’s and vinca. Oh and they ate an entire row of my neighbors peppers. I felt bad that I tested this because the garden looked so awful the next day. I also felt good because my garden fed some families (not bad enough though) I tested this twice and now I’m settled on keeping noise in the garden all night.
I love how thoughtfully every garden is planted.❤
Really enjoyed the tour around your garden, as usual! Lots of cool plants to try. Did you say in another video that tassel flower re-seeded for you? I planted some this year in a hot border and they are terrific. If anyone has had any luck with the lower-growing cultivars of aronia, I would like to hear. I have tried Ground Hug and others in various different conditions in my Zone 7 NY Hudson Valley garden and, frankly, they have struggled and look pretty pathetic unlike the fothergillas, clethras, diervillas and other native shrubs I have planted. Are they one of those plants that seems like a great idea but doesn't actually perform well in gardens???
