Come take a walk with me in my yard and see the new landscape and some cool new additions including Czechmark Weigela, native azaleas, and Japanese maples!
Good morning. It is Sunday morning, April 13th, I think. And here we are in my yard. I just had not come on here in a really long time. So, I wanted to show y’all what was going on here. We’ve been doing a whole lot out at the nursery and getting in tons of plants. This is my blueberry bush. And so, of course, it’s been a long time since I’ve gotten onto the channel and said hey to y’all. So, I just wanted to do that this morning. We’ve added in and taken out a ton in our landscape. So, I wanted to talk to y’all a little bit about these plants. These little guys here on the end are called jukebox. They are very much like a yopon. They’re from Proven Winners and they are the cutest little things. They stay about one to two feet tall and wide. So, I explained it to somebody the other day that they’re one of these little plants that stay the size that you wish that they would stay. Really small and cute. On the back here, we have some podacarpus, which I’m going to make into a wall at some point. And then here in the center are another proven winners plant. This is a Laura pedalum called Jazz Hands Variegated. You can see that the leaf is already getting that variegation and as it continues to age, it’s going to have really really neat like pinks and creams all in the leaves. But they come out and they’re this wonderful plum color. Now over here in the back corner I have put I think this is called a snow fountain cherry. So it’s a weeping cherry tree and it just got finished blooming out white. Love this tree. I had to go all the way up past Atlanta to find it. And I don’t know how it’s going to do here, but I wanted to give it a try. We’re a little bit hot and humid for cherry trees just in general. But I also put in a snow goose cherry right here outside of our bedroom window and it bloomed out a beautiful white. So, I did just want to give them a try because they’re so pretty. So, we’ve got the jazz hands variegated. And then on our first tier, we have the touch of gold holly. And that is a little shrub that stays about 2 feet tall and it will get probably about 3 feet wide. I put in some chameleas in between these two boxwoods outside of the sun room and some sunshine lagustrum underneath the porch. Spring is here and we are so excited at the nursery and we’re getting in all kinds of annuals. So for these back pots this year, I used Dreamsicle, which is a Proven Winners’s little Superbell, Caliber Koa. Super super cute. And I mixed it with the rising star caliber koa by Super Bells. And then of course a little foxtail fern. So, we’ve been talking about shooting some videos from out of the nursery. If y’all would be interested in that, we can start doing that soon. This is the Super Bell’s Holy Cow by Proven Winners. And then this is the cutest little bakopa pink. And it’s and it’s a Proven Winners as well. It’s called Mega Copa Pink. Um, so then this for my Thriller, this is also a Proven Winners’s plant and it’s called glow stick holly. So it’s like a sky pencil holly, but look at this green bright chartreuse foliage that comes out. So, we’re going to have our 2-year anniversary at the nursery in June. And I feel like it’s taken me this long to get to where I can start doing more videos on YouTube because I have had every intention of doing it, but y’all, it’s been so busy that it’s just really hard to find the time. So, I’d love to know if y’all are interested So here you’ve got the mojo pitisporum. This is a southern living plant and they are absolutely gorgeous. I’ve literally never trimmed these and I’ve had them in the ground about 2 years. So I’ve fertilized them twice, I think. So, I’ve basically just ignored them and this is what they’ve done. This is a great plant if you have a space kind of near like a sidewalk or somewhere that you don’t need for something to get just huge or maybe even under some low windows. And it has a really pretty little variegated leaf and the new growth comes out bright green. So, it’s got a nice nice color that it adds. These are my mountain laurels that I let die unfortunately because they were really cute. But I do have some things back here that are looking really good. So this here is a native Aelia. This one’s called Mushant Tanio. And then in the background, we’ve got a blood good Japanese maple that a pine tree limb fell on and cut in half. But it’s still pretty. Then my ver I think is how it’s pronounced Japanese maple. And we do have these at the nursery. So, inside this natural area here, I’ve put in a pretty good number of native Aelas, Japanese maples. Over here is a tamukiiamyama Japanese maple. And then over around this pine tree, I’ve kind of put in a mixture of encorelas. Those are that’s a twist autumn twist. I believe there’s a pink one. And it might be Autumn Majesty or Autumn Royalty. I’m not sure, but excuse my shadow. It’s come a long way since we moved in. I think I’ve added in a few things back here as well. I’ll show y’all the thing I’m most excited about here in a second. But here’s another autumn twist. This is a white encore. So, this is I believe uh autumn moonlight or an autumn angel. I think it’s an autumn angel. Okay. So, here we have the golf course. And so what I wanted to do was try to recreate Augusta National Golf Course hole number 12. No, I didn’t. Hey y’all. Morning. I’m doing a little YouTube video. Um, so that is a phantom hydrangeanger that’s going to get like eight 8 ft tall and wide. Sorry y’all. I’ve got golfers. Okay, so I’ve got a little bit of huker in here and I’m planning on adding to it. This is the caramel huker that I love so much that I’ve talked about. Okay, but back to my Augusta hole. So, the hole at Augusta National that is so famous for its beautiful Aelas, I thought what a good opportunity to kind of channel that. So, I don’t know how good of a job I’m doing, but Going to shape that one up a little bit. Okay, now let me show y’all something that I’m really excited about. [Applause] This is a check mark trilogy wila by proven winners and it’s not in its prime bloom right now but just a couple of weeks ago it was stunning and it had multicolor blooms white to light pink to hot pink. So so pretty. And it gets about five feet tall and wide. So, I got two more from the Proven Winners website that I ordered, and they came in looking great. They’re a little small, but they’re going to grow. And this entire area here is going to be check mark trilogy. Okay, so we’re coming along. Hope y’all are doing great and enjoying your spring. And I will talk to y’all soon. Let me know if you would like to have any videos from out at the nursery. We would love to feature some plants that we’re getting in, some new things that are really exciting. So anyway, I’ll talk to y’all soon. Have a great Sunday.

Welcome Back!!! Missed you! Hope all is well with yâall & your nursery!
Megan, I am so excited to see you again! My, how your plantings have changed at the back of the house. Your original dream for an English garden has been transformed into a whole new genre. I'm glad to hear that your nursery venture is doing well. I hope to see more of your home garden videos as opposed to nursery videos. Nursery videos are relevant to local customers, but maybe not to many of your viewers outside of the Dothan area. Once again, it's so good to see that you are well. You have been missed.â€

Its great to see you again and 2 years has certainly flown. I wouldn't mind a tour of the garden center occasionally but agree that it's gonna be geared more to locals. I live in NC. I always enjoyed your thought process for design and the walks through the yard.
Those mulched beds with a bounty of beautiful plants, shrubs and trees are a vision – So Pretty!!!!! It's completely understandable why you haven't had time for filming, but when you do have time I'd love to see your Nursery.
Your beds and lawn are looking beautiful! Itâs great to see you again. Iâve learned so much from you. I would love to see videos of the garden center. Anything you do is so well done and educational.
Yes, please share what is available at your garden center. I almost missed the variegated pink lemon that I am obsessed with! It is good to see your yard again, it's looking great!
Hey Friend! Youâve done so much work in your yard and it looks spectacular! Great choices. Hope to get to the nursery soon but in the meantime, Iâd love some videos showing all the great things you have. So happy for yâall!
Hi, it is my first time on your channel, and I have just subscribed to your channel, thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work.đâ€đ
Always interested in more garden videos – especially for coastal gardening. Love your Spring landscape!
Aww, Megan, It's wonderful seeing you again! Your property is one of the most gorgeous ever on YouTube! I love seeing the changes you've made over the past 2 years. Your beds are so beautifully manicured and tidy, yet completely natural looking, and the Jazz Hands variegated Loropetalum is just dreamy gorgeous.
I'd love a tour of your nursery!! Please come back again soon!!
