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

  1. 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?

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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 🤪)

  5. 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 ❤

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. Thank you for keeping in touch with us during the winter months, always nice to sweet face. P.S. Jerry too !!

  11. I love the blood sweat and tears and want to order some from you. Will they clash with purple pixie loropetulum?

  12. 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❤😊

  13. 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!

  14. 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. 😂💜🤍💟🌸
