Repetition and Rhythm is such a great and important topic that you don’t hear much about.
🌲🌳🌳🌳 Thank you both so much for annnother great show! 🌳🌳🌳🌲
Grasses are the backup singers… ❤
Im here and every wear!😊
Love the musical analogies regarding repetition, variation, and structure!
My horror story. In the UK my average frost date is the 1st week of November so yesterday risked planting a viburnum. Nearly cried when this morning woke up to a totally unexpected frost! Hope I haven't killed it 🙁
Good beautiful but rainy morning! 😁🫶🏻🍁🍂
I stained pink concrete pavers gray. It has lasted for many years and made the patio cohesive with two other gray bluestone patios.
My dad planted about 200 baby Canadian hemlocks around the perimeter of his property. They were bought in the mail as sprouts. That was 1960. They were decimated by the wooly agelid and he did not want to poison his family to get rid of the pest. They all died and left a great void by the mid 1990’s.The perimeter is now bare of any shrubbery. Had he planted yews they would have still been there. Be careful what you are repeating in your landscape.
Rick, you have the best stories! The kind that make you chuckle even when a week or two have passed. I could listen to you forever because you always seem to inject humor into them, intentionally or not, that’s your gift! Thank you for sharing!
What if you have a small garden space and on a budget . Can you
plant one plant of many different plants . ?
INF🌳RMATIVE‼️
Black lace elderberry is more heat tolerant than it looks.
Great analogies! But as a piano teacher, I must correct Rick on one point. Beethoven's Fifth is in 2/4 time. 🙂 But your example is still well-taken!
I love TaterTot Arborvitae- but in the south they do require additional water, as they don’t show that they are thirsty, until it is too late. Mine has done well with this, on a bank facing the road that gets hot afternoon sun.
They look small and tiny now but you need a great size year for multiple plants that get to 3 ft tall and 4ft wide
Said this before. I'm a 5b now 6 zone in Ontario Canada they do terrible here. After this warm winter they bloomed amazing, now everyone wants that variety. We just don't have the climate for these. Wish we did 😢
I plant using the 12 bar blues genre. 🎵🎤🎸🎸🎹🎶
Question my yard is surrounded/wall by white pine, and mature. They are large and I want to make it pretty in front of them. I’d love more pines in front of them as focal points that are lighter in colors AND deer resistant. Any ideas? I have two tator tots and love them, those wld be great to help this but, I need the bigger plants/tree first. I have wanting to do this for years but never jump.
I have a 3 pink almond bushes (MI 5b) they are all flowering (3rd year). Which makes me concerned. They 'normally' flower in the spring. Is this a sign of disaster for these (much loved) bush? The area now has become a bit more shaded and we have just experienced a month long drought, but had a very wet year.
We love our Tater Tots but just noticed they’re brown inside. Is this normal for the insides to be dry and brown? We’re in zone 5 and we do water them regularly in their tall containers. We hadn’t noticed before because they look so healthy and green on the outside. Thank you!
I own 10 Tarter tots love that lil guy. I also have two of the Magic Ann Ball so cute
Love this video! Repetition of plants and bloom colors is what saves my garden from being a bit “too much” (is a garden ever too much?).
I LOVE Proven Winners Anna’s Magic Ball Arborvitae (north Georgia, zone 8A). I have a major deer problem, but if I keep these sprayed with repellent it’s not an issue.
Clever, Rick! Lol
You know, up until now, I'd never considered the correlation of music composition with landscape design, even interior design. That was a lightbulb moment for me, and I appreciate it! Thanks, Stacey and Rick!
You guys are so funny – love the show🤣
