  1. My one and only Fire Light Tidbit which I planted last year is just the best – I am thrilled with the colour which will fully develop as the month goes on. It’s getting a little pink tint now just as yours is. I am thinking of replacing a few daylilies in one of the front gardens with Tiny Quick Fire – do you have any, Tracey?

  2. Thinking of adding some David Austin roses to my garden based on your selections. 😂

  3. Are you also finding the Japanese Beetles are not as bad as years previous? I don’t know what’s happening, but thank GOD!!!!

  4. LOVE your hydrangeas! I just added a Berry White hydrangea tree to my backyard. Love it so much and cannot wait until it turns that beautiful pink shade!

  5. Hi Tracy, I hope the boxwood moth /worm did not get to your rose leaves. On another note I am now conscious not to plan anything too close to a climbing structure as I did notice a squirrel leap onto my newly planted rose of Sharon bush a few years ago and broke the stems. 🌸❤️🇨🇦

  6. Thank you for your gorgeous garden video!
    My Fire Light Tidbit Hydrangea which I got a few months ago is turning one of my favorite hydrangeas.
    I admired your potted hydrangeas. What type of the pot and soil do you use?
    How do you winterize them?
    Please send me a link if you did a video of how to grow a hydrangea in the pot. Thank you!

  7. Hi Tracy, your garden looks beautiful as always!❤ I am also a hydrangea lover and try to propagate them for myself. Since you have such great results I would like to know if you cut the first and the only stem to have them get bushy? Thank you, stay well!

  8. Hi Tracy. Love your beautiful garden..do you fertilize those hydrangeas? My firelight tidbit got no blooms that was planted last yr..thanks

  9. Hi Tracy, what size planter do you have your hydrangea in? I ordered wee bit grumpy and want to keep it in a planter.

  10. Uhh! Gorgeous! Now please tell us all about your hardscaping. That looks beautiful too

  11. did you mention that you love the roses at this time of year ? lol. its lovely to see your enthusiasm for your garden! feeling inspired

  12. Hi from Melbourne ! May I know the name of your tree lily?
    I love your garden and how you use the vertical height of tree lily to emphasis the roundness of paniculata.
    My weather will not bring out the pink shading in the paniculata though we can plant it here but tree lily may do better.

  13. You need a bigger yard/lot🤣maybe time to move. All your plants are stunning.

  14. I'm new to gardening, i have a Bobo hydrangeas that's predominantly in the shade/partial shade will it survive? Should i be pruning while they are small? Would appreciate anyone's input

  15. Hi Tracy I have fallen in love with all your hydrangeas that I bought a phantom hydrangea paniculata and planted it in my front yard and so many people have commented on it hope it does well. I also bought a little quick fire hydrangea petite shrub and transplanted it into a large container can I keep it the container outside through the winter as I don’t have a lot of garden space. Do I have to protect it. I enjoy seeing your garden and all the information you provide. Thanks so much.

  16. Tracy you are killing me,how beautiful I am in Louisiana heat, heat, we need it but to hot summer,your garden is lovely. I do live in a retirement subdivision all pine trees behind my back fence and roots in my yard . I do garden in large 18-20 pots I am 78 so my husband helps me a lot. I love my hydrangeas but all I. Pots .I just enjoy your garden videos so much 🙏👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰

  17. How can you afford all these hydrangeas? How does your weather allows it? You must not be living in California
    I can’t even find one lime light or quick fire

  18. I almost can't take It!!! Your yard is absolutely beautiful! Do you spray your trees in the beginning and all for any kind of alphids or any of that do you ever get Beatles that you have to spray for?

  19. I noticed that too, less beetles and they are selective leaving most of my DA roses alone. I am in Woodbridge just north of you.

  20. Hello again, what does you yard look like before turning and after everything is done blooming? I would love to see that. Everything is beautiful!

  21. Hi there..wondering if you planted a Lime Punch? If so, could you show it in a video.. would love to see how it looks as it changes from white to reddish colour

  22. Beautiful! BTW, I think the yellowing leaves on hydrangeas is due to overwatering. Give them less water since the containers keep the water in longer
