Hey friends welcome to Gardening with Creekside today we are going to take a winter garden tour of the privacy berm behind me if you have been a faithful watcher of Gardening with Creekside really for like the last year you have seen this space develop and grow and just absolutely Thrive
If you are new to gardening with Creekside I want to give you a little bit of a history um tell you why we created this space and the whole little bit of a back history on it and why we did what
We did and how we did it it is a privacy burm it is raised it’s a little bit hard to tell uh with the elevation but what we wanted to do was to create a beautiful um natural kind of a
Privacy screen between our house which you see on the left and then the retail Garden Center which is over here on the right so what we did is in created this bed this whole entire space
Before was just one big field so it went all the way from the road that goes to the nursery all the way up to the flower bed that has the crepe myrtles and the day lies closer to the house it
Was just one big giant grassy field we came in and we created this space that has uh natural curves it is obviously going to be wider at the top than it is at the bottom because we wanted
To incorporate the two maple trees into the BM here so really that’s why we had to go as wide as we did to have those maple trees in there and then as it goes down closer to the creek it does
Kind of EB and flow and has some curves to it and gets a little skinnier down there towards the creek side we put the split rail fence in that will divide that so that way uh we don’t have any
Visitors walk you know through the flower bed and go from the flower bed you know across into the houseside we welcome and encourage our guest here to come and explore the nursery side of the
Privacy burm and then on the house side we just asked that you stay on this side of the fence and you can you know look over glance over and then U that’s what of course these videos are for is that
You can see the house side but we did plant this it has just now hit its one year mark we started the construction of the the BM because we had to of course bring in tons of soil we had to create
The bed that was an I believe late October and we did not start planting the trees and shrubs until November so we planted last November November of 2022 through the beginning mid of December we planted the trees and the shrubs then spent all winter right here and everybody did great we did
Lose a few of the shrubs due to the Arctic blast that came in last year right before Christmas um and those were some of the more um heat loving plants that that had not yet had time to get
Established like some lure pedum um so we did lose those but then come this spring what we did is we put in tons and tons of beautiful perennials that our friends from walters’s Gardens sent
Us so on this side the nursery side of the burm it is only um trees shrubs and perennials there are no annimals on this side of the BM on the house side my husband does enjoy loads of color and we
Have nice big open spaces for tons of gorgeous annual color if you will remember what we did uh this past summer is we loaded it up with super Tunas so we had these beautiful Mass plantings of
Super Tunas on the house side that just gave us massive color all season long so what we’re going to do is just kind of walk through and give you an update to show you what this space looks like
In Winter we are officially in Winter now and we have had very cold nights we’ve gotten down to 19 degrees 20 degrees multiple times and so everybody is in their winter dormy and just kind of take you
Along for the ride up here at the top of the burm on the nursery side we do still have a good bit of leaves in here that have fallen either from um the maple tree and we have a these beautiful Oaks
Tons of Oaks right here um on the other side of of the driveway and so some of those have blown in and I’m just kind of leaving them my sedums I am leaving the heads now for some interest I will
Come in in um late winter early spring and just snip those off as with the Russian sage I like to leave my Russian sage alone until the heat begins to come back because the these are they just love
The heat they love it and so I have found for me that they do better if I just leave them alone and then I can trim them really far down come late winter early spring and really almost like more
Early spring and then I’ll just cut them down to the ground in the back you will see that we have uh Mimi and I came in here the two weeks ago week and a half ago and just kind of cleaned up some of
The perennials we had the agac the eonia um amson is exactly where Brena is standing so all of that has been cut down to the ground I do leave my perennial grasses for the winter that way I
Have really pretty interest gives me some height it gives me some structure and uh I leave these alone so I have them planted on both sides of the BM this is the Niagara Falls from proven Winters
As you can see it’s a very upright grass really nice winter her interest and so what will happen is probably end of February I will come and I will gather up this whole Mound right here gather it
Up and then just Shear give it a flat top down to the bottom you want to cut your perennial grasses um before they begin to send up new fresh growth that way you can when you cut out all that old
Growth then the new growth has a plent PL of room to come up and shine you can trim it after you start to get some new growth it is harder and then when you cut that new growth you’re probably going
To have some brown tips on the edges so optimally you want to prune it before any new growth starts to come up in a perfect world that’s when you do it but as we all know life happens and so
Just do it when you can some people don’t like the perennial grasses in the winter and they go ahead and cut them now so that really is just a personal preference you will see throughout this flower bed
That I already have my daffodils are starting to come up and I have tons of daffodils in this BM um I just absolutely it’s one of my absolute favorite plants and they are starting to come up y’all just
Leave them alone they’ll take care of themselves I it obviously is way too early for them to uh begin blooming leave them alone don’t worry about them they will be just fine here we have Platinum Beauty there are three of these These are from Southern Living and they are an evergreen um
Lack of a better word a grass and y’all these are gorgeous plants I have them surrounding my thunder head yes I have a th Thunder head and I have a thunder cloud this is the thunder head this is that black pine black Japanese Pine and so with that Platinum Beauty putting around the
You know the three of those around there just really accents really nice winter interest and lots of fun in there for sure I have my hydrangeas these are panicle hydrangeas back there it is the quickfire Fab and you can see that I’ve already given them a little bit of a haircut uh because
I had time like I said Mimi and I were in this space and we are going to be hosting one of our employees weddings in end of May May it’s going to be a crazy time so we were in here we had the
Time we went ahead and gave them a little bit of a snip they’ll be fine it is all good if you’re in the garden and you have the time to do it and you know that your spring or whatever whatever time
Ahead of you is going to be you know challenging and difficult um go ahead and get what you can to get done right every little bit helps and makes a difference one thing that I am absolutely not
Going to touch right now is my kotas so here we have three really beautiful healthy plants this is the Beyond pink kopis kopis is a beautiful heat loving shrub that really performs its best like it
Really shows off in the late summer early fall this is like my Russian sage I am not going to touch it until this the heat begins to return so that could even be you know March mid-march
Depends on it and then at that time you’re going to give it a really good strong haircut um so right now just leave your kopis alone and they’ll be fine right it still gives you some structure
In there uh for your garden uh with day Lies We just cleaned them up you’ll see the little green uh tips they have not been DED have been they haven’t been fried all the way back I should say
So we just clean them up a little bit that is all of Blood Sweat and Tears a new dayy from Proven Winners so you can see where they have that swoosh that goes all all the way cannot wait to see um
Them in all of their Glory when they are blooming now what you cannot see is back here behind the Blood Sweat and Tears there are three summerific Holy Grail hibiscus went ahead trim them on down to the ground as well um proven winterers recommends that you not prune them until you’re
Coming out of winter and you’re going into spring I’ve been growing summer rics for years and years and years and before I saw that information I for years had just cut them down to the ground just
Like this because I did not like the sticks in my garden right I just was like GH I just want to get rid of those so I just cut them down to the ground because it’s a perennial hibiscus and they will
Come back from brand new growth so they’re not going to come no growth is going to come off of last year’s stems um but Proven Winners recommends waiting in case you know water gets down in the
Stems and they could possibly rot I’ve never had an issue with that in my North Carolina zone8 Garden but you can make that decision for yourself so um proceed with caution however that you like
To do that the I have three W jillas here this is Veno Verde and they are complete sticks they look just almost very much like a hydranga right now uh Villas of course are deciduous Veno Verde is
Really fun because it is a by color um with green and almost near black foliage they will Bloom and they bloom on Old growth so I do not want to cut these right now because if I do any chance of me
Having flowers is going to be completely gone if I want to prune these it would be after they bloom and I probably would come in and just shape them up a little bit cuz you can see like this one is
Probably you know it’s a little uneven so I’ll come in and just give it a nice gentle shape after it um blooms and then there we go Daisy M no excuse me these are spune silk look at those beautiful Shasta daisies look at that gorgeous green growth this is completely normal for the
Shasta daisies here in North Carolina to keep this nice beautiful Mound um whereas your EAS yeah not so much this is the fuchsia is bright completely dyed back have those in multiple clumps through here and then as throughout the garden I repeat things so we have more of the Niagara Falls grass
Uh here we have manard in the back we just kind of cleaned it up a little bit Monarda will be very similar to the Shasta daisy as far as you will be able to see um some of the foliage throughout the
Winter completely normal and then the chartreuse on the loose NEPA bright chartreuse color does it look spectacular right now no but is it giving me some color interest it sure is and I’m very happy
With it so I am going to leave it alone when I am going into spring I will come back in and give it a nice trim of a haircut the sensation honeysuckle I have two of these um on the fence
I have it just a couple of panels down but you’ve got some nice structure here I will have to come in and help tie it up just a little bit because it while it does climb and Twine it’s not going
To be one that is an aggressive Twi it’s it’s not an aggressive twiner is that I know I’m making words up but y’all understand what I mean and the fact of that you really have to kind of
Attach it some and then kind of tell it where to go otherwise if you don’t I have found in my garden it’ll just lay on the ground and just act like a ground cover so I have to help it
Climb and attach it a little bit very similar to like a climbing rose if you have climbing roses where you have to help attach it and then it will it will go on and do its thing but man beautiful
Traditional honeysuckle flowers on it love that one and it brings me some interest on the fence right so it’s something that’s attached to the fence and it’s climbing on there if you need to
Prune it you can do that um after it blooms uh I’m I have not pruned it at all and it’s doing just fine one of the plants that I have been so super excited about is this brand uh nope sorry sweet
Talker VI burum the Sweet Talker is a beautiful Evergreen viburnum that is definitely more of a southern plant and it will get nice and Tall it is as you can tell it has a more of an upright habit
Than wide y’all and I have another one just right down on the other side of the plum tree this sweet talker was one of those plants that got completely fried and defoliated from last year’s Arctic blast
North is just this direction so that wind if you remember that wind was so intense and so sustained and it just came and it just pummeled this vium they were new they had only been in the ground you
Know what at the maximum two months and um much much smaller than they are right now completely lost every single leaf on the plant and I was like oh my gosh they’re gone but immediately like
Within almost like two weeks they started pushing out New Growth so I felt like I was safe this is how much they have grown in this growing season is this not amazing I love this viburnum Sweet Talker gets its name because it’ll do um early flowers this little sweet pink little flowers obviously
Has a delicious fragrance to it so that’s why it’s called Sweet Talker little lime punches right through here have been trimmed now this is the daisy may you can see how nice and beautiful those Mounds are just leaveing them alone this whole area right here are the pugster Pinker
Butterfly bushes and yes they look rough they’re butterfly bushes at the end of the year so you can see though that they do have they will and they will keep this green foliage that they have right
Now they will keep that basically all winter long I’ve had numerous people ask me you know when do I prune my butterfly bushes how do I do that I have found from personal experience also what Proven
Winners suggest is you really don’t want to prune your butterfly bushes until you begin to see new growth in the spring I have in the past cut them you know um a little too early and then inevitably
We get that late Frost um in the springtime that late hard freeze and it just set them back even more so I’m going to leave mine alone until I begin to see some new growth popping out so that
Could be sometime in April at that point cuz your butterfly bushes all Bloom on New Growth at that point you can depends on the butterfly bush puers are only going to be like a 3X3 I will probably
Still take it back by you know like somewhere between that 1/3 and 1/2 size of the plant and give them a nice hard prune because man they will come back with a vengeance and be happy
And beautiful um but you can see like all of that black essentially on the FL on the shrub itself were all flowers so all those little black things are the old spent flowers and just absolutely um
Covered in beautiful flowers I do have the purple plum this is the uh Thundercloud purple plum and it is still holding on y’all to some leaves this tree has held on to more leaves um that I believe
Any tree that I have in my entire Garden of course it is keeps that beautiful nice dark dark foliage um those nice beautiful dark leaves it keeps this color all year so when the leaves come
Out this is the color and it is a full sun tree and it looks like when it blooms in the spring it very much reminds reminds you of a cherry tree so it’s nice because we have cherry trees on the
Other side that I’ll show you in just a minute so we have that beautiful spring interest with the flowers and then of course that nice dark foliage throughout the entire growing season and really I
Mean like you can still see it has leaves on it at the end of the year it’s just crazy I love it and we have some orange pillar barberries around the purple plum and they are doing well just it brings
Me some fun pop of color there’s three of them in there and very very nice nice different interest in there and um yeah so love that uprightness of that orange pillar and then we start to repeat
Again right so we have that sweet talker viburnum we have three more of the Niagara Falls we have still have dayes here but they are different dayes this is I want to say king of Ages I’m losing my
My tag on here um agaki we we have the um Holy Grail again so we have three holy Grails in here um so I I kind of take those plants and then I just repeat them all throughout yes there are
Things that are like bare spots because those plants have gone um dormant and that does not bother me one iota now one of the plants that again absolutely blew me away because I was not
Sure how it was going to do in my garden was this Minecraft gold smoke bush y’all can we just talk about that it is every bit of close to 5T now yes it is you know it is sticks right now there’s one
Two little leaves barely hanging on but 5T worth of growth right here when I planted this last year it was a very small I want to even say it may have been a one gon I’d have to go back and look
No bigger than a three gallon right this thing absolutely thrives right here that winecraft gold is bright yellow chartreuse foliage on it nice and big obviously has more of an upright Habit to it I have the Holy Grails behind it so they just I mean they both just pop off of each other
But the reason that I put the winecraft gold down here is because it is a full sun plant so it needs that minimum of six hours to get that beautiful color to it but because we are in North Carolina
Um and with our heat and humidity I wanted to give it a bit of a break in in the afternoon and so in this corner of the bed it gets the shade first so it probably doesn’t start to get shade until
About like 3:00 in the afternoon but that seems to be enough and it is absolutely thriving love this shrub so much and then as we uh come down here to the bottom it is we have those day Liles
Is blazing Glory so I found my my tag so we have blazing Glory down here and that was um a little bit of Blazing Glory up here which is a nice bright yellow with kind of um burgundy edges
On it really nice and then of course our North Pole are verites these North Poles we put them down here on the end because I wanted to create a um Anchor Point because as you can see I mean
We’re on pretty this is a pretty good slope right here and to give the weight on this end of the flower bed so we have two four six we have seven of these North Poles they were 15 Gallons when we
Planted them I have done nothing to them uh this bed is on irrigation we would run it about once a week for about 45 minutes and these guys are just doing great they’ll get to be in that 10 to 15 ft
Tall and about three to five wide so the idea here is is that they will get nice and tall and they will create like a solid screen right here um because also when we’re when we’re sitting on
The porch way over there uh that will give us a little bit of privacy from the nursery so these guys are doing great I haven’t had to prune them I’m just leaving them alone and I am quite happy
With how they are doing in the garden um can you tell that this poor dog has been in the house cooped up after holidays and then we’ve had a bunch of rain so she is just so excited
To be outside and just running like a mad woman around here now here we are on the house side of the Privacy burm this is the area that you will notice we’ll have a big huge empty space that has
Nothing seemingly has nothing planted in it this is where the flower power comes in my friend so we’re going to start down here on the bottom and then we’ll work our way up to the top down here we
Have the this is is the golden Oakland Holly this is a holly tree from our friends at the Southern Living plant collection love this because it has really bright bright foliage on it now winter sun
And Summer Sun are quite quite different this has great color for the winter it is starting to get a little bit more green than it typically is in the summertime because of the way that the sun sets
This does not get a ton of winter sun summertime it gets lots and it will turn a beautiful uh bright bright chartreuse green now if you remember this past summer we had tons of Wicked Witch colus in here we had the senorita Blanca cleoma this space was just filled I am not going
To put I’m not putting the uh the colus back in here because can you see on one of my North Poles right here where I have a little bit of brown I’m not concerned about it it’ll it’ll be fine um but
I had a colus right here growing into that North Pole did not realize it and it was blocking all of the Sun for that so we’ve got a little bit of dead foliage that will come out and it will it’ll
Be fine it’ll fill back in So if I put anything in here it will be much lower and not anything uh quite as aggressive as that wicked witch now do I regret having that wicked witch absolutely not it
Was stunning and beautiful coming up we have got some chameleos these are the October magic Ruby Chamas these are sanqua from again our friends at Southern Living plant collection and sanqua Bloom in the fall and it looks like they are pretty much done blooming for this year so we do have
Three of them right here and they they do great these sanqua are full sun they are rated as full sun and they have performed great they they bloom really nicely so very happy with them and then I
Have some Cletus here I have three of them in this bed these are completely herbaceous Claus so I can I will cut them down to the ground and they will come back brand new growth and be blooming I just
Discovered right there beside a Brena is a lovely weed that is not supposed to be green everything’s supposed to be Brown in here and so when I see all that green I’m like you do not belong here so
We’ll we’ll take that out this hydrant between um in the middle of the Chamas that is puffer fish puffer fish of course will be in that like three to five I want to say size range big huge
Beautiful panicle blooms creamy white you can see that we obviously have not trimmed this this too had uh clei around it and got a little bit too friendly with the puffer fish will not do that
Again I want this to shine that is a great thing about annuals is that you can um use them kind as temporary fillers right so while you’re waiting on your trees your shrubs your perennials to grow
And develop because it really takes like three years for them to do that um put your annuals in there fill in some space make it nice and full because the remember the more plants you have in
Your garden the less room you have for weeds so uh that certainly does help in the flower bed directly behind Brena is one of my favorite butterfly bushes this is the uh Pink Cascade 2 butterfly bush we Tri this from our friends at Walter’s Gardens and had it um all the way in
The old display beds at the nursery I dug it up and moved it last year on the absolute probably worst day I could because it was sunny and it was hot and even though I did my absolute best to get
As much of the Roots out as possibly could I still never believe you break some and this poor thing oh she protested she got limpy and she wilted and she looked bad I kept water I did trim her
Um but she came back with a beautiful Vengeance and she is huge I mean the flowers on this pink Cascade too are just ginormous the butterflies were covering this plant I adore this butterfly bush again had clei right here and you can see with that how she’s a little bit lopsided right
So when you’re looking at the butterfly bush it is definitely Fuller on the front side than it is on the back now if I were to continue to plant annuals back here that would kind of take over
That butterfly bush then ultimately yes that could in the long run kind of mess up my form of that butterfly bush I’m not going to do that this year plus she’s going to get a hard prune so I’m not
Worried about it at all she will definitely fill in on the backs side this year because we’re not going to have anything tall on the back side even on the other side of the burn because directly
Behind her are the holy Grails so they two will be nice and low so they will all get plenty of Sun all around them and all will be well right so you just kind of keep that in mind when you’re
Going through and thinking about your flower beds what worked what didn’t work what do you want to change and so forth and next this is The Big Empty Space that we were talking about we have just go
Through here real quick we have two cherry trees they are the same these are yosino cherry trees they are ornamental cherry trees beautiful spring flowers just beautiful love them right and then they’re green for the rest of the season nice kind of that um silvery Gray Bark on them so they stand
Out quite nicely we have Sprinter boxwoods that are in um kind of inverted V shapes around the yoshinos we are going to change this now last year what we did is we had like I said the super Tunas
Were planted in each three of these big empty spaces we’re going to change the um placement of the boxwoods because we just ultimately we didn’t it didn’t turn out in reality like we were thinking in our brain we just don’t like it as much but we’re going to wait because uh
We showed you oh gosh a couple weeks ago where we planted thousands literal thousands of tulip bulbs in this space so everywhere that you see a blank space right here it is the super collider blend of tulips from our friends at color Blends so we’ve got bright yellow bright red and deep
Purple every square inch is PL planted in tulips it is going to be a stunning spring so between when the Tulips have finished blooming but before we put in next year’s flowers we will rearrange these boxwoods right so we’re going to move them we’re going to change the because I know some of
Y’all were like I just don’t like that placement and then the more we started looking at it we were like it just it didn’t work for us so we’re going to move them and just um we’re just going to put
Them in a different pattern in in the flower bed where behind Brena is there are three holy Grails on this side as well so we kind of repeat that back and forth so there are holy Grails on that
Side of the fence holy Grails on this side of the fence and then holy Grails up again so when you’re looking down on the Drone you’ve got three sets of holy Grails in here um the other Sprinter box
Woods the other cherry tree and then up here we have more perennials that um yeah are are doing just hanging in and just chilling out for the winter we have daffodils jonal in here as well so
They are coming up um in certain areas we have of course that is Niagara Falls grasses the Russian sage we repeated again we have the sedums again even though they are different varieties they still echo back and forth on each side one little tree that I was really pleased with this is the
Stellar Ruby Magnolia from Southern Living this is an evergreen um Magnolia not the typical Magnolia that you’re going to think of when you think of Magnolia in the South it is it is Evergreen
Like our what we think of a magnolia it does have some brown on it and I do believe that is just um from like those 19 degree nights I’m not overly concerned even if they were to drop which they
Probably will in the spring we still have lots of beautiful growth on it and it’s and it’ll be fine so even though you have some of the winter damage and then you look over here and everything is just
Fine but the Stellar Ruby gets its name it is also known as a banana tree because it will do these flowers that are Ruby colored but when they are fully developed the flowers are fully developed
They smell exactly like a ripe banana it is the craziest thing I have ever seen in my entire life I thought there is no way that a flower can smell like a ripe banana but they do it’s great so you
Can keep these either at as a nice large shrub or you could limit up to be a small tree either way I think I’m probably going to keep it more in the shrub situation at least for now and then if I
Want to start to Limon up and make it like a small tree I can do that so it’s really just kind of what is your personal preference what is the look you’re going for and then of course you can always
Change your mind right um so this bed like I said we have been so incredibly pleased with how well it has done being in the ground for the first year it was absolutely stunning throughout the entire growing season I cannot wait to see how everything you know over winners inevitably we’re going to
Lose some things right maybe we have really wet winter and there are some areas where I have some eona and they just don’t do really well then I can come in the spring and I can take those out
And put in something else that’s a beautiful thing about gardening right a garden is never finished it is never complete you’re constantly changing and tweaking what worked what thrived what didn’t work you have an Arctic blast that you’ve never had in 20 years and suddenly you get something
And you lose a plant well that just opens up the door for new possibilities and new plants right so that’s the fun thing you’re always looking you’re always tweaking you’re always changing new plants are always coming out onto the market you discover plants maybe that have always been on
The market and you’re just getting to know them um so that’s just the fun thing about gardening and uh just keeping up with it and just in creating the space that you enjoy right um yes this side
Of the BM the house side right now is is pretty empty but guess what we’re not spending very much time on our front porch we spend all of our time on the front porch in spring summer and
Fall and that is when this beautyful uh shrub this privacy BM is absolutely thriving is then we’re not hanging out there on the front porch in you know end of December it’s a little too chilly so it’s perfectly fine that this is a little bit more bare in those winter months doesn’t bother
Us a bit but as always we hope you found this fun informative and inspirational can’t wait to see what next year holds for this Garden as always we appreciate you we’ll see you in the next video bye friends

So one thing I’m noticing and I noticed when you planted the berm is that you used groups of three etc. It looks wonderful for your space but I’m wondering if you had a much smaller space how you would do this? My flowerbeds are just not that big. I feel like my look is not cohesive. How can I fix that in a small space?
We really enjoyed watching you develop the berm! Even in winter, it is looking beautiful! It's go so much character! 🙂
How big will the Cherry tree get? I have heard conflicting reports.
👍
I planted a few of the PW Skyrocket grasses last year. Will these over winter or are they an annual grass? Trying to figure out if I should go ahead and remove them or wait and cut them back. Thanks!
Beautiful berm, glad you’re changing the placement of the boxwoods. XXX pattern might be nice?
Actually nothing to do with today’s video. I still have a petunia blooming on my front porch. The porch is enclosed on 3 sides, about 6’ deep. We have had temps in the 20s. I haven’t watered it either, just what rain the wind blows onto the porch.
Good morning Miss Jenny 😁. Jenny Jenny Bo Jenny, banana fana fo Jenny, fee-fi mo Jenny – JENNY. OK – who remembers that silly song ? ( hee-hee showing my age 🤪)
Jenny, your hairstyle, makeup, earrings and colorful clothing are spot on today.
I also cut back my Hibiscus in the fall here in the midlands of South Carolina! I love the berm, it added so much interest to your garden ❤
Wonderful advice today. Well, everyday.
We don't have much snowcover in Minneapolis, I'm not complaining at all. But it makes me admire my gardening work of the past season and I'm itching to start cleaning up.
I know. I know. Patience.
I’m glad you mentioned the viburnum defoliating with low temps. We’ve been unseasonably warm, and I see a severe cold front predicted, with low temp of 10F, in zone 8b. I’m planning to use frost protection on all my new viburnums and many other things. One viburnum is actually blooming right now. I know plunging to 10F would make it very unhappy.
Always a great video. Iv read so many places that Garden and owning dogs dont go together. We have two rough collies (Lassie), Male and Female. Even on the PW video they said if your plant died maybe your dog pissed near it. Did you train Brena not to pee or pee in your beds? how do you deal with owning a dog and your love for garden. I will say one thing I think having a female is better than a male since they like to mark everything.
Question: what size and type of emitters should we use for the arborvitaes? We planted some (15 gallons each) this fall but watered by hand and letting mother nature water as well, for now.
Thank you for keeping in touch with us during the winter months, always nice to sweet face. P.S. Jerry too !!
I love the blood sweat and tears and want to order some from you. Will they clash with purple pixie loropetulum?
Jenny, Totally off topic, but I have to compliment you on that gorgeous, vibrant blue shirt and navy vest. They pair beautifully together with your gold hoops and jewelry. They all look great on camera❤😊
Thanks Jenny. 🌲💚🙃
Love this bed!
The MOST Informative video EVER! Thank you for showing winter vs. summer stages and for letting us know, ahead of time, what to prune vs. what to wait to prune!
When you showed the clips of this summer’s mass planting of the house side of the berm, the mass of Jazzberry outlined with white looks like a giant Hoopla Vivid Orchid. 😂💜🤍💟🌸
Just a beautiful space! This was a wonderful video.
Thx Jenny
Is it ok to move Caryopteris the same time that it is ok to cut back in March or April? Virginia zone 7a
