2021 August Garden Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lujJEGO5X0
Hello! My name is Bethany and I grow things in my rooftop container garden in Chicago, zone 6a. In this video, I’ll show you what my garden looks like at the beginning of August.
Everything is blooming, I’m harvesting more than I can eat, and my garden maintenance is the longest it’s every been. I love every minute of it.

Your flowers are beautifully. I really love the orange zinnia mixed with the pinks. They look super.
Yay! Your spider plant is producing so many young plants, once upon a time everyone had one of those in their houses here in the uk. The 1970s and 80s were very popular times for them. The sunflowers are brilliant and its great to see pollinators on them. V cool.
Your potted herbs are looking great. You have talent and greenfingers for sure. Fully watched 👌 GREAT video.
absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed the tour.
You’re an inspiration. I’m a new gardener in Western suburbs and I love container gardening. It amazes me how you can be in the city and have a beautiful lush outdoor space.
It all looks so lovely. Great 🌻 sunflowers love the deep dark colours.
Hello! Thank you for an interesting video. Wonderful petunias and dahlias. Today's walk was exciting. I wish you and your loved ones a nice day/ See yoo❤️❤️❤️🌻💐👍👌
Everything looks so beautiful and lush. Great job with your design and planning!
Try dwarf strawflowers, less height. And I saw given away shishito peppers from CBG
So gorgeous, I aspire to have a garden like yours one day! Have you gotten any blueberries yet from your blueberry bushes? Not the hanging basket varieties.
Tiis is a gardener's heaven. Great job.
Beautiful garden!
Now I'm adding asters to my seed wishlist! seeing the sweet alyssum everywhere makes me smile… I love it and diamond frost euphorbia as like a backdrop type plants, if that makes sense. I can't remember if you ever had thrips on your dahlias? Im dealing with that now 🤬. I'm assuming not bc they look too healthy

I love your container garden. I always take notes when watching your videos. I'm getting so excited about doing this next year. I have a front and back porch. I'm sure you mentioned it, but I may have missed it, do you use all seeds for your garden?
Your herb container gardening set up is goals!
Can you do a video about spacing in container gardening? Or what is your general guidelines? How do you determine 1 plant per pot vs multiple in one pot?
Use the young leaves from your lemon tree to make tea! Lots of vitamin C and delicious.
Breathtaking! I don’t know which one I love more, the red Sunflowers on each side of the cart or those gorgeous pink dahlias! I think I’m going to try those next summer. The grasshopper bait seems to be slowing them down a little, fingers crossed.
Beautiful ! Love…Love the petunia and zinnia box.
Bethany your balcony gardens are beautiful. You should be so proud. PBH
Wonderful tour…I absolutely love the herb garden! You have such a wonderful variety of plants….a true urban oasis!
Your garden looks amazing.🪴
I really like the herb garden in the terracotta pots. You might make me switch mine from grow bags!
Beautiful garden.I love that you have a little bit of this and some of that! 😍
How do you store your dahlias over winter?
Very nice
Beautiful!
The sunflowers are beautifull.
I love it! Where did you get your herb cart again?
Love all of your garden especially the herbs!
