Do you have any plans (or dreams) to put in a greenhouse?
Hi, Erin 👋 I’m so excited to see how the Banana tree is going to do. I was so impressed by it’s growth! Thanks, as always for your abundant knowledge. Have a Blessed Day. 😊
Love your question and answer segment. I am removing a 75 year old black walnut tree. Last year I picked up 12 wheel barrels of walnuts and the squirrels are driving me nuts (pun). What can I plant in that area once the tree is removed? I know the tree is toxic to some plants. I am in Southwest Michigan Zone 6b.
Ok I bit and picked up a few Bananas 😅😅😅. The bananas are the Dwarf Cavendish variety, 220cm in height and 120cm spread. Not too ‘dwarf’😵💫. They are 2’ tall with 3-4 sets of leaves and in 6” pots. I’m wondering if I should transplant them or just leave them be until they get planted into the xl pots outside and what if anything I should fertilize them with. Any suggestions?
Thanks, 4B Alberta 🇨🇦
Thank you for showing the humungous bloom that my granddaughters and I saw when visiting Ann Arbor Michigan. My YouTube Channel is Mary Born, ND where I focus on gardening and health. I forgot to mention the name of my channel. I am going to be 80 in July and my gardening has changed through the years. When I was in my 30's and 40's I used to plant about 100 flats of flowers every season. I make use of elevated beds now that my knees aren't capable of kneeling for more than 10 minutes at a time. This portion of my channel is called, "Gardening with Granny". I also have a health focus called, Health to Home. I've learned so much from you and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.
This spring we plan to visit Keukenhof garden inThe Netherlands. Even more spectacular all season is the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, Canada 💕🇨🇦👍
When you give the bucket list, please list them so I can see the spelling. I'm a newbie.
Butchart Gardens in British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦 should be considered for your list.
LOVE Chanticleer. They do the coolest designs and pots. I hope to visit it some day.
Dow Gardens in Midland, MI is a wonderful place to visit. When we lived in Midland, we went every week or two since it always looked different. And they had wonderful art installs in different seasons that changed every year
If the BH&G story never gets published can you get copies of the photos to see how they turned out??
Erin – Can you name an annual or perennial that you start from seed that performs really well when planted out ??? Like the best of the best. Anybody’s favorite would be great!!!!
reach back out to the photographer and see if he'd give you a copy of the photos he took.
wondering if a diluted hydrogen peroxide on the soft spots would help. or even pouring some between the leaves
Hi Erin….Its' pronounced blow dell. I live just south of Vancouver, BC Canada and that is a common name in these parts. (a lumber family who has done well and given back to the N W in many ways)
St. Louis Botanical garden is a must see!
Thoroughly enjoying the Q&A’s as well, and the post cards are wonderful. I was sitting here thinking about the gardens I’ve seen and walked through in my life, and can honestly say that my “favorite” garden is the one I’m standing in and seeing at that moment. There’s always something wonderful, magical, or personal to reflect on and it’s just so cool because you can really get an idea of who that person is as a gardener. Thanks for sharing and stay well.
Look at you, all tan….dang ya!
OMG! Erin, navy blue is totally your color! It brings out your sparkling blue eyes so beautifully. I know I've seen you in that navy jacket before but I think having your hair pulled back really does it. Very elegant. Or elegantissima, as we would say in gardening parlance. And so striking.
Bloedel Reserve is pronounced like blow-dell, with emphasis on the second syllable.
The Rotary Botanical garden in Janesville, Wisconsin is my favorite.
