hi everyone I’m Eric and I’m Christopher and we’re grow Forme gardening today we’re going to take you on a full June Garden Tour Welcome to our garden here in Upstate New York Zone 5B 6A we wanted to take you on a full June Garden Tour this past week we are experiencing extreme temperatures in the upper ’90s with extremely high humidity and finally today the storms came through the humidity broke and the temperature is now in the mid 60s so we went from the extremes of high 90s 97 998 99 to today down to 65 so if things look a little wet and things look a little worse for the wear that could be why but there’s a lot of really pretty beautiful things we’re excited to share with you and the first thing on that list is our Oho easy peasy Row the landscape row of the Year from Proven Winners color Choice shrubs these were planted this spring as bare roots and you can see that color is vibrant and intense and it compliments well kind of contrasts the color of the trumar Blue Spruce behind it perfectly when we extended this bed this spring we knew that we wanted this to be a showcase moment when you entered the garden up the east side underneath the gothic Arch we knew we wanted something here to really wow the visitor and I think think this color combo does it what do you think Christopher I love it and you know what I also love is that we tucked an Anna’s magic ball right in front it’s true all of this is brand new within the last month because this spring we extended this bed out so there’s an Anna’s Magic Ball Evergreen here is a grouping of Let’s Dance lovable hydrangeas and these are one gallon size So eventually they will get about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide and they’ll just look like a giant bouquet we saw these shrubs at their maturity in The Proven winers color chy shrub trial Garden in Michigan last summer and they were absolutely covered in flowers so I’m really excited to see how these mature and they are in full sun for us in our Zone they bloom on old wood but they also Bloom on new wood so that’s part of the breeding that Proven Winners is really working on is that reblooming later in the season so if this did get bitten by a frost or got eaten by deer or we accidentally pruned it which I don’t think we ever would but you never know drunk pruning or something drunk pruning that we would still get flowers on it later in the season behind that as an annual kind of backdrop because we didn’t really know how we were going to rework this bed to merge the old front of the bed into the new front of the bed so we kind of left stuff for now until the fall and decided to use annuals as the transition and those are Let’s Dance playing the Blue Salvia and newly noar kolia switch actually are starting to bloom so we’re going to have to dead head those I noticed that um in all our applications of that this year newly Noir is starting to put a little Bloom on yeah they’re Shing to Flower Way earlier than they’re supposed to um right here are some other annimals this is a kfia and that’s an agaki um a brand new teeny tiny little neat ball boxwood this is a sample that Proven Winners sent us so that’s exciting to be able to try it for them we do some verbina bananis seedlings that we transplanted from over there they had reeded themselves from last year’s flush of verbina bananis we put them here to grow Eric I’m distracted sweet romance Lavender is bloming this is our first time really trying Lavender in our garden uh on a bigger scale there’s a small hedge of 10 when we’ve done Lavender in the past uh our garden has been too moist for it so it hasn’t thrived but Christopher before we get too much further I wanted to take take a moment and appreciate the Jensen n this is a compia International N called the Jensen n and it’s on the Greenwich pedestal and this n is 30 in wide and I can’t remember the height of the total pieces together but I think it’s a very decent height has a lot of nice weight here and inside of it are four fairy Trail green Cascade hydrangeas that is a rebloom by the way that is a new Bloom yeah so that looks a little white but when we first planted them they had a lot of green on them uh blooms and we’ve since pruned those off only because you know we had that heat wave and they kind of melted uh around that is super tunia Min Vista Indigo and in the center is meteor shower verbas and looking beyond that you can see that grassy texture that is nasph veratu Jiles that is I think part of the Rainbow Rhythm line I believe so but it’s also buding up and we’re pretty early for that it’s very early I mean it has been a really Bonkers season quickfire Hydrangea Pinky Winky hydrangea quickfire again that’s an emerald green arborite along the fence just kind of to add a little vertical interest and you can see that reddish bold foliage waving in the background those are the Castor beans that Christopher Grew From seed this winter and we wanted those large structured f Fage with the dark color I thought this this border could really use that this is where we added in the lar ascending this is a new rose for us it’s a David Austin Rose it’s going to get quite big over time um but again cuz this is a new bed and we’re still playing with how these perennials are going to move or transfer we’re not quite sure how but so we just figured we wanted to get in the ground we have three of them we’ll come across the two others later in the tour uh quadr quartet quadruple a quartet of Fire Light tidbit my favorite little panicle hydrangea and these are just tiny babies first year in the ground but this one is a little bit more established Autumn Joy Sedum Serendipity alium already has its buds popping up the north winds Prairie Grass that’s what it’s called right Christopher you’re much better with the grass names than I it’s north wind panicum oh I was so close it started with a you were very close very close this right here is pink profusion Salvia this is Magic Show pink potion it’s not pink profusion Salvia why did I think that because we have been calling various salvas pink profusion but what we realized very recently is that we don’t have any pink profusion what is this one again is Magic Show pink potion we divided these and transplanted them and they looked rough came back great rough and right behind those is um blue fortune aaki and then crazy Fortune agaki is the variegated one that’s a really cool one um and in front of that is some Lambs Ear two different types of Lambs Ear there’s a little bit of earwig damage on that one we’ll have to bait for oh I put the Sluggo out earlier today and I missed this spot I hope the rain didn’t wash it away uh along the fence is lemony Lace Elderberry really living its best life back there next to a quartet of Jag Manti ey white birches that we are really hoping will get nice and large and uh just cast its fluttery shade all over this area that we really really enjoy Crown Princess Margaretta on the Square abelisk trellis from Gardener Supply another drift of serendipity alium part of our thinking for putting the Serendipity alium and the lamium here is to protect it from Deer to kind of make it less appealing to Deer and H it’s kind of working we do struggle with deer and we struggle with rabbits we’ve been using a lot of bobx we’ve been using a lot of deer scram we’ve been spraying a lot and it seems to be working but if we let up they kind of come right on in this is a stand of baptisia um it is raspberry lemonade decadence Deluxe pink lemonade I got the lemonade part right you did you can see in the back corner there is some Cinderella milk weed how beautiful okay we planted one two years ago and this has very happily receded and it’s welcome to back there yeah it’s really really pretty and I’m happy to have that there for the pollinators because we do also have a bunch of B bomb back there getting ready to bloom we have a white variety a purple variety and a pink variety and when those get together it’s really really pretty and I love the smell of bbom and again I hope it kind of deters the deer with its strong scent there’s there’s a Pinky Winky hydrangea in there getting ready um a winter Berry uh sweet shrub sweet Spire right Henry’s Garnet sweet shrub sweet shrub this is a trio of um hardy hibiscus it’s Evening Rose there’s a Candy Crush and then there’s o what is it Christopher it’s very awesome very awesome our first one this front one is the very awesome they look wonderful this year we limed up this bald cypress quite a bit last year because the Evening Rose had gotten completely lost back there so this is a nice showing so far this season it really is uh in front here is some flocks this is backlight white flocks so there’ll be a Pure White Fox bloom in front of it is our newest Evergreen this is an ice breaker Korean fur and it gets about 3×3 at maturity and that is the color of the or pops against those flocks yeah and it’s a totally different texture which is really cool faded shuber ey alium blooms which we’re just going to leave cuz they’re so cool I think every garden needs shuber ey alium this was our first time trying it and it was a huge success yes and in front of that is a hedge of mini maette hydrangeas and to cap it all off we have a winter gem boxwood underneath our bald cypress tree so let’s start right where Eric started and go the other direction you can see we really focus on repetition with the east border again we have quickfire Pinky Winky quick fire more of the castor bean over here you can see it a little bit better those leaves are gigantic they take on a bit of a bronze but they have really almost fire red stems I don’t care for the blooms that they put out but I really really like the structure of that I think they’re kind of cool it kind of looks like a muppet coughed off a coughed up a hairball it does it is kind of a hair ball of a muppet down here is a pretty big stand of fall in love sweetle anemy this has done very well this was probably five plants it’s not a big spreading an enemy it’s a little spreading an enemy so it can do whatever it wants there it’s got more than enough room again more lambier more Serendipity alium this is a peie that’s been cut back the wine and roses white Gilla did beautifully for us this year it’s been in this spot for a couple years now it’s going to eventually get to about 5T tall by 5T wide and I think it’ll be nice as a contrast between the hydrangea the gold cone Juniper which Eric have you noticed how junky I love it the gold cone Juniper’s got some meat on its bones now I really like it you’ll notice the roses have all been through their first flush James L Austin Mary Rose and gerw J I’ve cut them back pretty hard it’s going to be time to give them some nice fish first fertilizer s seaweed fertilizer just to get them recharged for them to start their next cycle of blooms there’s a very very happy and Tall lavender Mist theum which is actually going to be at least 9 ft tall this year once it blooms and let’s see here the uh Eastern red bud doing its Whimsical beautiful thing casting a nice shade that one branch is a might be borderline too with whal this is a this is this is Whimsy this is quite Whimsical there is Dark Side of the Moon is still be kind of a little river of that going through here it’ll get a nice fuchsia pinkish Bloom on it over the dark foliage which contrasts so nicely over the tough stuff hydrangeas if there was a hydrangea that would Dethrone Pinky Winky for me it would be tough stuff this is the original tough stuff not tiny not aha just tough stuff I really love this plant over its shoulder you can see some banana cream Shasta daisies are coming back very nicely we almost pulled these Eric we were going to divide them change them up and they made decision I did divide them you did I divided them yes well they didn’t do it naturally Eric did a beautiful job of transplanting those I think yeah they look so good I’m really glad that you did that that’s so funny the heavenscent polonium or Jacob’s Ladder is doing very nicely in front of that it had its beautiful purple blooms that smell like grapes now we’re just getting that beautiful Fern texture what is that grass back there I can never remember the name that is Blackhawks blue stem that’s right which is a native and as that gets more sun and gets bigger it will be a dark purple very reminiscent of the winecraft black smoke bush we coped this to the ground took it all the way to the ground and it looked dead and it looked dead a lot longer than I hoped it would but when it started to refl flush it did exactly what we wanted it reshaped itself in more of a I don’t know would you call it like a perfect more of a V shape more of a yeah perfect vas shape so that’s doing exactly what we want we won’t get blooms this year because we Copus but we’ll get more intense foliage color that’s up against magic show ever after this is the show of the season in in our garden as far as I’m concerned we get the blue with that Vivid green foliage and then you compare it to peachberry ice hooka it is the most perfect pairing in the garden well it needs that winecraft black behind it to really make it pop it does it really pops and then there’s a mugo pine over here that gives it a little more green Evergreen texture and it is a dwarf so it won’t get too big exactly and then the kinsley’s ghost honeysuckle with that eucalyptus Leaf it’s interesting so you’ve got kind of a similar Leaf shape but very different color then you’ve got similar green colors very different Leaf shape so we’re playing with texture and color and trying to layer these things together to make the garden interesting the first container we’re going to show you is second Jensen we did already did one um it was very hot and humid and it was kind of off and on raining so we weren’t getting out here to do any spraying and that’s what BT is for that basilis thog genis fun worms have taken this entire hoopla Vivid Orchid superia down look at that I did come out and spray earlier today with BT I’m hoping that the rainstorm that came about 2 hours later didn’t completely make that for not but I’ll probably come out and give it a quick miss tomorrow morning it probably washed a bit of it off I also would say that this is a really good example of how you can pair things like a Lantana and a super beina with a supertunia so if you do get a budworm you still get color in your container and these are also ready to be fertilized after the heat wave so this will be a mass of beautiful yellow and purple color let’s see oh what about that heliotrope down there this is austa lavender heliotrope this is something we saw last year at the Garden Center and it was pretty but now that we’ve got it in our own garden this could be a must have Bobo hydranges we have two bobos that flank the gothic Arch this one’s from Gardener Supply you know we love this because it’s 6 feet wide and 8 ft tall this has a generous Gardener rose on either side from David Austin as well as a Betty Corning Cletus it smells so good under here right now the first flush of the Rose cut back I actually cut back quite a bit of the Claus too because it was just getting weighty and we need more up upward growth I would say by you know I’m already seeing New Growth all over the place on these canes oh yeah very very short order let me just show them the new growth color on generous Gardener it’s that red it is really really nice so this will be touching it’ll be all the way up to the top I bet you in a month and a half hopefully or so so keep backing up keep backing up we need the wide angle of our hyd Ranger room this was a big project we did last year of course nothing from about where I’m standing forward existed on this fence line This is a combination of five Annabel type hydrangeas incredible all white incredible blush alternate across the front then there’s Invincible Ace and invinci Sublime hydranges so we have this mix of the plum lace hydrangea with the little white fettes on the outside the really intense lime hydrangea and then I mean the white the blush and then here is invincibelle Ruby which is smaller than the other ones and we have it kind of tucked towards the front for a little more intense pink moment the first season of having the in the ground they’re getting kind of beat up by the rain by the weather but they’re they’re going to be incredible Sublime and Lace are both going to be 5T tall they’re really really big so the idea there will be no standing here I would say maybe next year the year after this is going to be a solid mass of giant puffy blooms well what’s interesting is the back row the sublimes and the lace those were all one gallons when we planted them last fall they were only one those were one gallon shrubs when we planted them and then the front row were two gallon shrubs so they’ve got another year they’ve got a year Head Start but they’ll catch up okay that makes sense and then last on the fence line very newly planted is a bath Sheba Rose from David Austin it did a beautiful small Bloom of course being such a small plant but again new growth lying out of this shrub and we’ll keep it tied in the goal is to have one cane or some canes going north or up not north towards the sky towards the sky and then bringing other ones in a horizontal fashion and each one of those horizontal canes will give us the laterals and those laterals are what going to give us all the flowers hety columnar Juniper is kind of that Evergreen at the corner of the house here that stops the eye and provides us a little bit of privacy from the street looking into the backyard I love the structure of junipers I love the berries on the junipers the growth they take very well to pruning and trimming they’re kind of something that we repeat a lot in our garden and they’re deer resistant which is really important in front of the hsy columnar Juniper is a stand of invincible Spirit to hydrangeas that are pretty flopped after the recent storms this week and I’m totally okay with that because I know that if I prune these back they are going to re flush with a second set of blooms it’s not going to be as amazing as this first flush but I can cut it back make beautiful bouquet bring them into work give them to friends and later in the season I will get another set of flowers on the Invincible Spirit 2 poking up behind those is our quick fire standard hydrangea so it’s kind of like a quickfire tree We rescued that from Lowe’s clearance rack probably 5 years ago it was $5 very tiny very sad looking and with good water good care good pruning it is now just a gorgeous component of our garden bed here it is beautiful afrodite sweet shrub copass in the spring and it’s a little wind blown right now but you would be wind blown too if you had foliage this size look at the size of that foliage the leaves are really nice they’re very glossy tremendous if we had not coped this it would already be blooming by now but this blooms on old and new wood so we forfeited the first flush of blooms and we’re going to get blooms later in the season and they look like purpley red Magnolia blooms and they smell a little bit like pineapple and I think it was well worth compassing if we hadn’t compassed it I think it would be blocking the view of the hanging baskets up there and those metal hanging basket baskets uh I bought online I can’t remember where but I’m sure Christopher can put a link in the description and I remember they came in the color rust and so I bought black rustoleum and I spray painted them and they are planted up with The Proven Winners Double Dutch recipe which is double Delight Primrose Bonia double Delight Apple Blossom Bonia and large Blue Wave terenia in the center and they’re really coming in they enjoyed the Heat they put on a lot of growth during the heat they certainly did and then we gave them a little dose of fertilizer and all of a sudden you see that blue popping out it’s going to be a really really nice mix and I think it’s going to age well over the season I think so too my only gripe with the Bonas in the hanging basket that I totally forgot about is they drop their pedals everywhere and it’s right above the sofa up there so we got to keep that in check but let’s keep going and check out this gorgeous starting to bloom winecraft gold smoke bush growing well above and beyond the 4×6 tag size it is now I don’t know I’m 6’2 I think it’s 12 feet tall twice the size of me so I love it though I don’t want to prune it at all I think it’s such a great golden bright fun I just love the proven winter smoke bushes because they maintain this one in particular I think we locked out it has such a beautiful shape it does it’s not getting you know wonky branching that we want to get rid of we just want it to be happy and keep doing its thing yeah underneath that is a hedge of invincible Ruby so those are repeating from the hyd ranger room again they did get rained on there a little floppy don’t judge them based on this video I love smooth Le hydrange just so much and one of the most ask questions on Instagram is how do you get yours not to flop ours flop why do they flop and generally our proven winter smooth Leaf hydranges do not flop this is really our first experience with the major flopping and I I’m blaming it on the weather the storms have been intense this past week uh Pink Shu lamium underneath here oh I almost forgot to mention I think this is really working this is the yard Defender from uh orbit and it hooks up to your hose it’s got batteries in it and it has a motion and heat sensor that at night time if it senses motion or heat it it sprays them with the sprinkler like a large uh a heavy scary spray of water that makes that ratcheting sound that a ratchet sprinkler makes and I think it’s helping this area in particular because we have had deer damage elsewhere in the garden and I would think that this would be like a delightful Buffet so fingers crossed I think that’s what’s working I I want to check the batteries on that as soon as this video is over and also I believe the spray is a 35 ft radius which is pretty much exactly walking through the arch or walking up the side of the house so I think it really does Target exactly what we need and we’re going to add another one of these uh over by the sublimes which we’ll show you later in front of the invincibelle rubies is another like echo of this chartreuse color and this is the pistachio and ball gown versions right yes it’s two dressed up ball gown and pistachio Ambrosia y two they alternate uh they only had three of one and two of the other and we thought well we’ll just put them together there’s a little sunburn on them which I find interesting because they are supposed to be full Su of shade so I think this heat wave that Came Upon Us really did him in but I think they’ll rebound nicely our Bruna is looking spectacular these are two different types and if you asked me which one was which wouldn’t be able to tell you but I bet Christopher could one of them is a silver bug gloss I believe unbranded and the other one is jack of diamonds all right there is some earwig damage on these two which is okay we’ll wait for those I did sprinkle over here great uh and there’s a mix in our shade garden underneath our dappled Willow and this dappled Willow has been poed which means that there have been branches taken out and there have been branches stripped of their growth so that they only grow at the very tip and it’s just a nice uh aesthetic that gives you a little more architecture underneath it allows a little more dappled shade underneath and you can see like the bright pop is this chartreuse I know it’s not Hudson Bay is it that’s Coast to Coast Coast to Coast you’re so good with the names Christopher we’ve got Coast to Coast we’ve got we Mouse ears yep Blue Mouse ears Neptune Neptune is Virginia in there over here there is a Miss Piggy Virginia and those are actually two Diamond Lake hosta which I really love the fact that the way they’ve grown it makes the tree look like it is popping right out of them some hore foliage that’s really grown and another uh bug gloss this right here is Limelight Prime Limelight Prime is an improved version of Limelight and what they consider improved is they’ve kind of made it a little bit smaller it blooms a little earlier the color more intense and it’s less prone to flopping so I think all of those are nice attributes a hokei Cypress that we just kind of found and popped in here and I threw in a um painted Fern which I thought would be a pretty contrast and next to that Christopher compan right over it is a new uh weed bit innocent hydrangea from Proven Winners and it’s bred to be very small in stature it’s a very small big leaf hydrangea that has pastel colors so it’s going to be either pastel pink pastel blue or pastel purple depending on uh your soil composition to my left Christopher Royal Frost Birch just have to mention it every time we pass it because it’s one of my absolute favorite trees Royal Frost Birch back over here lime Ricky hydrangea this is a discontinued variety it’s been replaced by Sublime but I really really enjoy the color of the blooms and I really like the size of the foliage it’s a very very nice plant I really like that bold foliage this is Spearman HRA down here um there is a sprinter box would Buri it underneath here which is going to be fine once this all dries out we’ll get in there and kind of Tidy Up and prune it out and see what’s going on this new lunar colus is doing like a little bit better than the one back there it doesn’t get as much sun do you think that’s why it is I also deadheaded it it had a couple little yeah but I mean like it’s beefier yes it also has a better color yeah I think it’s more shade protected here uh Surefire Rose Bonas which I thought I would like the color of more in this spot I don’t know if I love the color of the Shire Rose Bonia Oh see it’s a little neon for my face it’s a little Neon but we are lacking in red over here so that kind of tricks your eye into thinking there’s more red yeah neon red um columnar Scotch pine which we planted here anticipating it filling up that void of siding which I think it is doing that job uh small hedge of check mark Trilogy which might need to be pruned back a little bit teasing Georgia is on our jardan Tower Obelisk now in front of it and I want you to remember this we can do little comparison is Let’s Dance Sky View but in shade so here are some things we noticed this is a we have a trio of Le and sky view in full sun this one’s in shade first of all it’s pink the other ones have a are purpley blue which means our soil is different it didn’t Bloom as early as the ones in Sun and it’s not as full as the ones in full sun and I’m not sure like at what point big leaf hydranges can’t take full sun but we’re in zone 5B 6A and they seem to be okay for us in full sun um but I’m really impressed with how early these Bloom it’s very impressive because normally our earliest blooming hydrangea was our Oak Leaf followed by the smooth leaf and this one is right up there with the oak leaves and smooth leaves very very early there is a little underplanting of rosan geranium underneath Gatsby pink which is a stunning Oakleaf hranger this one’s probably 5 years old it’s pretty well established it is it’s doing beautifully exactly what I wanted it to be look at that foliage shaped like an oak leaf it’s going to turn like a leathery reddish brown in the fall and this the trunk is just gorgeous and like looks like it’s peeling and these blooms will start turning pink at the base and the they’ll go all the way up so you get this mix of pink and white together it’s it’s just got a wild habit too which I really enjoy a wild habit and anyone that I fell in love with last year is the campfire marshmallow Bens so I tucked a whole bunch of them down front underneath the vanilla strawberry hydrangea I love them they’re like little daisy flowers they’re so pretty and they are starting to bulk up a little bit which I’m very excited about I’m hoping this is just one big white cloud kind of lifting up the hydrangea there’s a double play Blue kazoo Spa here which has gotten quite large and is already done with its first white flowers um but I do love the combination of colors that you get on the new foliage the Olympia Claus growing up so nicely my little Trader Joe’s purple Claus I think it’s so funny and over here the newest tree that we’ve added the red fox katsur which I really love the way that it comes out with these red foliage moments it moves into this greenish blue goes into more of a darker green before you get a whole Kaleidoscope of colors and the best part about this tree is it will release a chemical as the foliage dies back that smells like burnt sugar so we’ll have a whole cotton candy like Moment In the Garden which is going to be I mean who doesn’t want marshmallowy smells in the garden under the Heritage River Birch down at the front Island the we white hydrangeas have finally started to bloom the these have been here about 2 years now they are not on drip they are actually overhead sprinkler only they’re doing so nicely they’ve created like a pillow yeah in full sun with no protection yeah and so they’ve done very well you’ll notice throughout the garden there’s C mint which we cut back to the ground not very long ago and it’s already flushing back last weekend if you can believe it yeah about seven days and this is what it has already done so it will be back in full bloom by the time that we have our garden tour towards the end of June and then July July sorry wrong month um the green or winter gem boxwoods I gave them up kind of pre prune early in the season but I think there it’s time for a little um clean up on these woolly boogers back here at the foundation bed we have we white hydranges that have been with us a year earlier or two years earlier than those yeah o i maybe two years longer two years longer these are lovely they age to kind of a Tanish Brown and then we’ll sort of snip some of them out but the overall effect is so stunning we pair them every year now with blue artist floss flower or ageratum this year we did make a big change we brought the front of this bed out a little bit so we could continue you the blue artist floss flower all the way around can I just point out one thing about the wi whites cuz I love them so when they first Bloom they’re going to be this like pinky color right you see that pink flush and then as they age they get very bright white and then they’ll fade so you kind of get this Trio of colors on them it’s lovely more of the blue kazoo which again has such lovely color I do want to cut them back just a little bit tighter up it is the foundation bed behind that are not even a full year old invincibelle Spirit 2 hydrangeas these are so nice this is going to be really big and fluffy in the next couple years yeah again planted last fall as two gallons so I think they’ve done very well they’ve done very well Fire Light tidbits these are much larger specimens we’ve had them for quite a while here so when these Bloom this whole area is just going to be a mass of gorgeous flower more cat Min that’s been cut back the Vanessa Bell David Austin Roses have all had their big cut back they’re a pretty vigorous grower so I take them down pretty heartily and they’re underneath the tricolor European beach hanging out so beautiful love this color it really is cool oh will you show us the containers on the front porch please I absolutely will do that so up here in the covered area are these really awesome containers that Eric painted two Shades Darker than the door and then sunk in them is actually a 5 gallon bucket that was cut to fit perfectly in there so whenever we want to water these we lift them out put them on the sidewalk and it keeps the drainage from uh messing up the carpet and all that it’s a newly Noir colus which does look really good in here too Eric it does look good um this is a miniature colus pink lamium or pink chab lamium and this is a selenia yellow Bonia right yeah I’m surprised how well it’s doing in the shade cuz it’s supposed to be like a part sun to sun such a good like lemony yellow more pink shab lamium in the head Planters love those and then we move to the big planters these are our new orbino Planters from CIA International in the color Nero noovo noovo the centerpiece of these is rise up lilac days which there are some flowers on the other two that we can show you it’s been a very healthy well performing climbing rose for us but it’s a miniature climber or a short climber at least so when I cut these back to from the first flush I cut them right back to the orb trellis that’s in there we’ve repeated the same annuals in all three of our containers we just kind of started the pattern at a different place to mix it up we have the super Bea sparkling amethyst super tunia saffron Finch super tuna mini Vista Indigo and we have luscious Royale P colada where’s a good Bloom there’s a there’s a good is there one on over here over here is some yeah here’s the Luscious Royale Lantana oh and a lilac days and a lilac days really beautiful rolls so as these are intermingling and starting to give us the effect especially this these two together love that cuz all these super beas have a little yellow dot in the center of their little mini flowers so very successful on these we’ve got the three of them that are identical when you’re driving up the street you see these super Tunas way way way Far Away really really gorgeous repeated the ageratum underneath another winter gem boxwood definitely needs a bit of a haircut that’s okay um it’ll get there Gabriel Oak Rose also cut back with the cint you can see we really like to repeat the theme with the cat Min and the Roses so I guess it’s a good thing that we cut them back at the same time our Jane Magnolia is growing incredibly vigorously this year we have some decisions to make on pruning and lifting ing the canopy because it is growing out and growing out means you can’t mow underneath it and that’s very important part of gardening you got to be able to clean up more Fire Light tidbits underneath the weeping white spruce now the thing with weepers they normally weep but every once in a while you get one branch and it decides it’s going to be the leader so I’m hoping that that hardens off so I don’t even have to stake that one it’s cool right it really is it’s a really nice weeping Norway spruce it did a very nice has a nice growth pattern on it I’m happy with it it’s doing very well oh we have flowers on the Let’s Dance can do let’s dance can do look at this new growth moment that’s happening right here really really awesome rose rose hydrangea this hydrangea is known to be one of the fastest re Bloomers it just blooms its head off once it gets cooking and it just started cooking so this should be a bloom Factory for us for the rest of the season and it blooms from the bottom of the stem to the top this tree makes everyone smile this is the Shiloh Splash River Birch and it’s either a very large shrub or a small tree depending on how you want to prune it what really sets it apart is that bright creamy yellow variegated foliage there’s two shades of green on there and a nice buttery yellow and I couldn’t be more drilled with this addition to the Garden it takes very well to pruning it handles full sun very well it really loves this spot underplanted with another Limelight Prime hydrangea another drift of recently planted in the fall fall in love sweetly uh anemy so that is going to be a late summer early fall Bloomer of really that just really pretty traditional pink anomy some more Lantana in front this is a giant drift of Catman that’s been cut back but believe it or not when it’s in full bloom it fills this entire space a Hollywood Juniper because again junipers are very reliable for us this is a columnar White Chiffon Rose of Sharon so that’s a nice vertical accent as it gets taller P foliage going bananas dayy which day blooming this is very early for us but I’ll take it and behind that is our wabisabi Japanese maple that we just planted this spring the wabisabi is a hybrid between a Korean and a Japanese maple to improve its cold hardiness and it’s just a really nice weeping structure with the new growth having green stems nice Lacy foliage to my right is this stunner this is a vanderwolf pine this is one of the first trees we planted in our garden so I’d say it’s probably 5 years old at least and it was probably a seven gallon one we planted it was ball and burlap I remember that it was ball and burlap and it was in a container and it was so rootbound but it has Thrive mhm look at the shape it is supposed to be a pyramidal tree right it is and it’s it does everything right in my book I think it’s really awesome um down here’s another a little bit of repetition of some of the annuals from other places in the garden including the Augusta lavender helot Trope uh the Min Vista uh to go there are some Virginia and another hosta what’s that Miss America Miss America my new favorite hosta it looks like it’s been painted with watercolors it’s really cool uh coralbell that I don’t remember the name of sorry that is dressed up prom dress oh prom dress new this is Clare Austin Clare Austin came to us struggling as a rescue from a clearance and she this is the best she’s looked she’s very slow getting established but um you know what’s going to happen is next year the year after that this thing’s going to blow up and that’s what happened with Crown Princess Margaretta remember We rescued her too and she was very slow to establish and now she’s just blowing herself out of the water besto pesto mugo pine underneath the Dack purple Obelisk Beach that foliage is amazing really nice this is a stand of uh baptisia blueberry Sunday blue bubly blue bub I think it’s blueberry Sunday blue bubbly what I think is interesting about this variety that’s different from the one in the back is the uh they’re curved the flower STV I don’t know if that’s just happened this year because of that weird Heat Wave or that’s what they do I don’t know I think that’s pretty interesting Ember waves Arbor VY that’s going to have that gold color all season long I we really wanted that bright pop on the side we love using a chartreuse and we love using a deep dark purple because when you have that color combination it makes everything else kind of Pop blue feathers hinoi Cyprus or Juniper hinoi cypi Cyprus blue feathers this one’s really cool look at all the little foliage they look like little stars I saw that texture and I thought it was really really cool and these dark foliage sticking out of the ground is uh I always say it wrong wrong it’s economus yukus yukus but this pineapple Lily pineapple Lily this is Purple Rain it’s also new But Eric I didn’t tell you look inside the foliage there are P lies and there’s five plants and there are five lies coming is so interesting they’re going to be really cool to see grow I’m interested to see how they do there’s a drift of soggy sad saffron fines that are half run soggy and sad being eaten by budworms but I think a quick cutback a treatment and they will be re fertilizer and they’ll be totally fine Emily Bronte has been hacked she’s a beast of a rose nice and Tall covered in flowers um but we gave her her big prune back here’s a little tough stuff top fun hydrangea starting to put on some flowers that’s exciting this is the red tip Blaze Norway Spruce we have it here yes it will get to be a large tree eventually but it’s so teeny tiny we’re just using it as an evergreen accent for the time being some more agaki this is a small drift of Ringo double pink rose our Parkland pillar Birch it’s flopa really struggled in these storms I’m really surprised at that I didn’t expect it to look like that I wonder if it will ever rebound that’s a very good question I actually tried taping up some of the branches and I taped them or tied them up and branches above where I taped still flopped yeah I don’t know if it will recover the top looks great but that’s a problem for another day let’s keep going on this tour I’ll finish up this corner this is a trio of pufferfish hydrangeas which we’ve never grown before I’m really excited to see how they do this is another one of those little tiny meatballs right here on the corner showing off its really cool foliage is the Carolina sweetheart red butt on the other side of the West Side here on the fence we have werton old Hall on this trellis and you can see this we’re going to try to do the same thing with basba on the other side with these directions but look at the blooms this is the final spray I think it’s the final really good spray of roses in the entire Garden from the first initial flush I couldn’t be happier with this so pretty it’s like it’s peachy but it’s almondy and there’s cream and it smells good so that is doing beautiful below you can see maybe the budworms are attracted to hoopla Vivid Orchid maybe isn’t that funny they hadn’t made it all the way up here but this was completely covered in flowers at the beginning of the heat wave and we’ve mixed it with another um mini Vista and there is the newly Noir colus let me dead head those little flowers on there and this is a silver lining artemesia this is a perennial it doesn’t spread the same way as other emesia do but I really really like this I know for a fact he does not like very wet conditions and this is kind of a wet area in hindsight so this might not be the place where it ends up living but I also kind of have an idea for for where it could go yeah I think it’s doing well though it it’s doing all right we have a Hudson Bay hosta tucked back there and a crested surf painted Fern another Sprinter boxwood and that’s the little corner bed here with oh emerald green Arbor VY notice how tall this one is compared to the other side this is a wetter area than that but look at this the Limelight hydrangeas are healthy and growing and they’re going to be Perfection this year we look underneath we did have a pretty bad mic problem last year we treated it it was not pretty but now these are going to be 78t tall this year we can get back to the expert pruning technique that Eric has mastered to get these perfectly shaped as a wall of clear white flowers that will eventually go to kind of a dusty paint it will be so incredible this year I’m very very very very excited about it double triple vares before we do a little shade area over there let’s talk a little bit more about Sun stuff the Diana contorted Larch is growing its head off love this tree below that is another panicle hydrangea this is little lime punch stays a little bit smaller but gets a Hawaiian Punch intense pink on it this is another lar ascending of the three that we planted normally we plant three of everything together but this particular Rose is known to get so big we thought that might take up too much room and we couldn’t buy just one no we had to get them all now look over there Eric it’s purple illusion that is the Salvia we thought was pink profusion we divided these and put them over here again doing we started with three and now we have 1 2 3 4 5 six seven and they’ll thicken up they’ll keep doing their thing this is a purple pillar Rose of Sharon it is foliage to the ground this really is giving us a really nice pillar effect Illuminati Tower or illum I think this is Illuminati Tower Mack orange which bloomed nicely for us this will also give a bit of a vertical feeling notice we do have some rest in the garden these are some Iris that may or may not be hanging out say rest I say room for hydranges you know there’s look at all look at all this empty space people say how are you going to fit anything else in that Garden well we’re GNA you watch over here we have spilled wine weila these had a really rough transplant they got cut back pretty hard they’re flushing lovely they even bloomed nicely I’m going to reach over here we have our first alpen glow zenas I grew these from seed they’re one of the floret Originals they’re so nice they come out and they have these little sort of apricotty colors and they get a lavender in the middle which makes them very unique pink mink Claus is a very um Second Story looking plant this year it’s decided to grow straight up and not bloom till the fourth rung there’s some that’s interesting but there’s some buds down here so I wonder if it’s going to bloom and then Bloom lower too I don’t know we planted this last year so this is kind of our first time yeah seeing it we’ll see how it goes Sugar Shack Button Bush that plant has grown so nice it’s a really nice statement center of the Border I mean back of the Border but it would have to be a very deep border it’s putting out its blooms the little pom pom balls those are really cool this is a ruby ribbons grass I like it because it gets the Ruby ribbons on it it’s kind of unique there ‘s a trio of USTA VI roses that also had that rough transplant but they’re doing well they bloomed wonderfully and they have a ton of new growth in just a few days since they were cut back those were transplanted last fall and then over the winter they died to the ground so this is all new this year that magical sand of fox gloves it did finally die back I left a couple of the shorter stems up so it’ll recede itself come around over here Eric we have the Dalia patch I was really you grew from seed I did these are another um fluet you can see we’ve had these heavy rains it’s exposed some drip tubing I’m so excited to see what these do for us this is a spider wart are we going to skip right over this gorgeous tree right here I was going to go to the oh okay sorry well this is Web Master spider wart this is going to fill in and be much more dense it’s newly planted so it’s a little bit um tattered check out over here this is the tickled Creek white bark Birch I love this tree it’s got a very cut Leaf almost reminiscent of a Japanese maple but it’s a Himalayan birch that will just droop and only get about maybe 8 feet tall did it even how wide did this get six tall four wide oh that’s not that big at all compared to over here that’s a sting arborite that’s going to stay about a foot wide and shoot up 20t so we’re going to have some really interesting height variations going on oh right below me the third Lark ascending oh and there’s a flower I’m going to go to the other side it’s a very spent flower let me oh you can get the effect I like this one cuz when it’s in the light it glows from behind really really nice wait show us again closer to the camera close there you go yeah it’s really pretty and it’s nice and open for the pollinators oh it is fragrant right now I wasn’t sure if it would still have fragrance this is the group of Hol Hawks that I grew from seed it’s the same one we had on the other side of the garden last year it’s the double champagne majorette so it’s a little bit shorter it’ll get about maybe this tall not 8T tall nice creamy champagne color it’s going to look good up against these which is four of the invincibelle place I like how it’s plumy and then you get the little cream rosettes on the outside yeah and the pollinators love that too the crop coup often people say what’s the crop coup for what’s the little metal house well it has corn in it we finally planted this up with an Eden corn Eric picked that up from Johnny seeds this past spring so we finally got around to it it’s a 75 day corn it’s on drip irrigation fingers crossed that we’re going to have some corn from our blue perennial Extravaganza I’m very happy to report it is on the blue side of lavender this is Fascination veronic castrum but it’s also known as Culver’s root it really likes the water so this is very happy and the fact that it’s blooming already it’s just gotten planted really cool no it reminds me that color reminds me of um magic show ever after it it does the verbina bonariensis this one shot straight up and started to bloom this will not stop blooming till October yeah but look at this this is the standby me lavender Claus it’s a bush Claus so it does need staking we have it on the 36 in jardan bird cage this was a plant you may remember that we said we were pulling we did not like it it didn’t perform well for us I don’t think get going anywhere this year it redeemed itself so this is its third year so maybe it takes three years for it to get established and worth the wait but look at how cute the tiny quickfires are they are the smallest panicle hydrangea on the market I believe they’re just precious I cannot wait till these I mean what are they going to get a foot and a half foot and a half I think yeah maybe a foot and a half by a foot and a half and that one to your left Christopher that’s the one that got busted with the hose but it’s rebounding very nicely it’s rebounding nicely and this was something we picked up when we were up in Vermont a the boir they called it a bird bath but it’s kind of a bee bath or a butterfly bath and we need to find a stone or something to put in it so they have something to sit on these are our elevated planter box garden beds from Gardener Supply they are Cedar we went ahead and we stained them with a polyway stain so it’s food great safe the color was called charcoal it took about three coats they have nice little feet on them so they don’t sink too badly into the gravel every single one of them is attached to drip it’s a garden grid that Waters them um we have little accessories for them the jardan uh bird cage is just to be pretty these are called the Spacemaker pivoting trellis these are the 2×8 Garden arches with the extenders on them and I really like how it raised up the arches so that we can not only does it look gorgeous but we can grow things up at these are the Jack Little Pumpkins I think it’d be really fun to have pumpkins kind of growing up here this is a Cypress Vine we just got some seeds from from a local Cypress Vine what is that how I would say it yeah we just collected seeds uh some beans the all of this needs to be fertilized uh it’s really in dire need of some fertilization but but just with all the rain and the Heat we had to hold off uh these are potatoes and then everything is repeated again in the other 2 by8 bed so that’s all the same stuff over there right here these are are these strawberry gem those are black strawberry black strawberry Tomatoes little eggplant coming that’s cute oh it’s so cute I did have to pull quite a lot of leaves off this it doesn’t grow that wimpy looking the big leaves were not looking very healthy in the heat yeah I don’t know if it’s too much water I don’t know what’s happen but we’ve got to kind of we’ve got to play around with it and figure out what’s going on with it but it’s fun either way for us to grow vegetables and fruit because you know we do this part for fun this isn’t like our passion this is the fun part Christopher I wanted to show you over here before I forgot Malin Hills this is a rambling rose that we planted be root we shared with you on a video how we trenched in here and hooked it up to drip and dug back and gave it its own little protective collar around it um and I think it’s doing very well considering what it looked like when we planted it heading over to this bed we have cut back that cat Min on the corner so normally that entire corner is filled with cat Min Still Waters Claus is a gorgeous flower something’s happening to the left of that I’m not quite sure I’m going to cut the entire left side out because it’s not looking so hot yeah I don’t know what’s going on with that is that what they call Claus wilts I don’t know that something to look up we’ll have to look into that and see what’s happening Ancient Mariner Rose there are some fresh blooms on it still which are so pretty really got a big cutback there are definitely some little nibbles happening but you know that’s gardening you cannot fight Mother Nature it is the season it sure is here’s a little stand of tough stuff top fun hydrangeas that they’re all a different stages so I’m interested to see how they progress throughout the season in the middle here though is a trio of quickfire Fab hydranga which is the new improved quickfire it has a more intense color uh how else would you the bloom is totally different it’s not as like the bloom is more of a true panicle it doesn’t have the Lacy effect of quickfire yeah but it still blooms very early we’re repeating the Let’s Dance play in the Blues here and look at this shining bright star gorgeous Monty Blue Spruce it’s a dwarf blue spruce it get about 8 ft tall 4 ft wide which side should I go to stay on this side let’s stay on that side for right now Sprinter boxwoods weeping white spruce one of my favorite ornamental Evergreens tottering by gently Rose first flush is done getting cut back this is midnight wine shine weila just dandy hokei Cyprus super cute little miniature hoki Cyprus right there with lemon Coral Sedum surrounding our ornamental Rock Sprinter boxwood look now if you remember earlier in the video we showed you the let’s Dan Sky View that was in the shade these are the let Dan Sky views in full sun totally different experience with them I’m mad for these there were some that were this really nice sky blue color I do think we must have some alkalinity going on because we’re seeing a little bit more of a Rosy lilac moment so I think we might need to pop in a little more aluminum sulfate let’s back up quick I think we missed this one corner earlier and then we’ll keep going that way but when you come under the garden arch Christopher is walking towards the garden arch if you for a little perspective when you come under the garden arch you’ll see the pagota Dogwood to my right there are some really nice beautiful delphiniums that have flopped in the storm and those all Reed themselves from one a color ladies mantle very floppy Flo Arina mantle um but it’s due for its cupb soon anyway there is a Drinking Gourd hosta down there I really like that shape of the foliage where it’s like a cup Empress woo hostas humongous enormous foliage I’m pretty sure that that is is that about 5 feet wide I have I don’t know boom chocola geraniums almost done with their first flush and we’ll just chop them back to the ground and they’ll come back nice and fresh the weeping Ruby Falls Red Bud that foliage is enormous and gorgeous and purpley red and exactly what this corner needs and you can see this beautiful hedge of invincibelle sublime hydrangeas right here way cut back like no luster no nothing I mean it looks M right now our Fountain Our Lady of shalat roses got a huge hack back the cman has been cut all the way back it’s like we’re all the way back in April now it almost looks like it is it’s kind of a flash more midnight wine shine but you know that’s why you have so much in the garden so that everything has its turn to shine um oh I forget the name of this Fox Glove Sutton’s apricot Sutton’s apricot underneath our Black Gum Tree a trio of Sprinter boxwood these are the seti yeti viburnum which have put on a ton of new growth and you can see there are more flowers coming which is really neat they bloom all and log they’re double file VI burum over here we have reminisent pink rose which did get nibbled by the deer early which I bit off their buds so now it’s kind of like out of Bud cycle but it’s okay because look at all the buds that are coming covered when we have other roses that are faded this one will be blooming and that’s pretty awesome here in the back corner we have added in that Dry Creek bed it’s not a very dry creek bed lately with the rain it’s been a full-on creek above it though we have five is no one two there’s six Atlas roses here one is actually In Bloom these got a big cut back cuz they are newly planted so I’m going to keep their size in check so they don’t get all spindly and weird this is a tater tot Arbor VY as the centerpiece to this container with the double chiffon super bells and this is the um Violet KN alysum which looked so bad when we planted it but it’s rebounded and it’s looking really really good here are a big drift of 10 reminiscent Crema roses I will say this is even if it wasn’t my favorite flower I would say this is probably the most impressive Rose I’ve ever planted the leaves are huge the blooms are huge the plant is a foot and a half tall really really compact but big big impact so this was very enjoyable already sending out some new blooms cannot wait to see what that does the River Birch is River birching it is River reaching all the way out creating lovely dappled shade look at the paper bark maple it’s shaping itself out when we first got this it was pretty short it’s put on some nice height below that are the Moonlight African maragold and the blue or tall blue planet floss flower I grew these from seed and we did them in this Square pattern along with the square beds and now that they’re blooming I really like this I’m not a huge maragold fan I will not lie but I like that these are more of a clear yellow and not like The Buttery orangey kind of color so it’s working out our Black Lace Elderberry growing like a weed it’s as if the whole time we could grow one and it was just that groundhog that has not been bugging it and now that it’s not bugging it it’s growing so who knew who knew I think the groundhog moved on to the little lime hydranges in front of it they must be tastier this is the red Obelisk Beach it is the Obelisk it is red definitely doing its job great color great foliage the viburnum this is the is it a double file it is a double file day but it looks like a snowball it looks like a snowball this has put on tremendous amount of growth and I’m wondering if we should make this into a bit of a tree form to give us another little feature area below I kind of love this mush together look it is it’s really cool it is really mushy it’s really nice though we are back over on the west side by the Carolina sweetheart red bud and we’re just going to show you a little bit of the shade area on our way up to the Terrace down here our little path to get to our hose there’s a green velvet boxwood with some more Walkers low capint another midnight wine shine and look at that bright pop of blue that is a newish bleeding heart from Proven Winners I couldn’t tell you the name though I believe that is pink diamonds oh that does sound familiar back there flopping on the ground unfortunately right now it’s Gatsby Moon Oakleaf hydrangea the flowers on it are so gorgeous and full and Lush but what that also means is they catch the water and I think as they dry it should rebound hopefully fingers crossed Morning Light Miss canthus check out these Meadow R this these are this is a trio of lavender Miss Meadow and they are really tall what do you think 10 feet at least and you know I grew these from seed in the winter sewing method and they’re just I love the meow R because it’s it’s that Airy Whimsical feel it’s tall but it doesn’t block your view and wait until you see the flowers on these they’re really really pretty to die for Sun King aelia living its best life right here nice and bright golden yellow which means it’s getting a lot of sun it’ll be a little Greener if it got more shade coming up the steps you can see this is a Thunderbird mangave which is a newer addition to the Garden it’s a hybrid between a agave and a Mana fra man fra man fra this one is night owl our Bonfire Patio Peach is getting some Peaches on it but that is underplanted with super tunia Min Vista Indigo superina sparkling amethyst and saffron Finch kind of just like the containers in the front we’re doing that purple and yellow theme here’s that Augusta lavender heliotrope in a container where I think it really shines nicely it does I I’m starting to think that this is going to be my favorite container of the Year this one with the selenia Bonia this is the same one that was in the shade on the front porch doing equally as well here supertunia Min Vista ultramarine and here are the moon glow African Daisies this is a yeah it’s a pretty little combination uh back here underneath our mfet blue juniper we have the Violet night alysum more saffron Finch more Moonglow African daisies and more suun minisa Indigo our lemon tree got upsized we had to upssize the pot on it and it’s looking really happy there’s about 13 lemons on there happy about that one’s starting to turn yellow and oh really oh yeah I see that that’s awesome um in this container this is a mmart beach got a little treeling one winter I ordered it on Etsy it arrived dormant it was probably like this big in a tiny little root on it and I’ve been nursing it for two years here in a container some subina or some not subina some verbina banerian seedlings had fallen in and I figured why not leave them that’ll be fun yeah it’ll be beautiful up here right uh these a lot of people ask about these these are our Haw watering cans that we got at gire down in Windom which is a cool little shop if you’re local our Trio of shade containers this is the Wisteria colored double aapco impatience yes something like that and then inside is a Bonia which is doing what I thought it would do it’s popping out popping through thank goodness Boston Ferns this is the same recipe that’s in the hanging baskets behind me it’s the double dutch recipe um with the double Delight Apple Blossom double Delight Primrose which I love this and then the Blue Wave terrania which is really really nice these are part sun containers and there’s some things have really surprised me about them there are uh some colus in here some more of that selenia Bonia the double chiffon super bells are looking great so these are those same containers up close I really like this color combo it’s a really it’s bright it’s somehow it’s Unique I don’t know bright but soft you know what I mean it is really cool and also I forget what those are called carabiners I don’t what are they whatever the spinny thing you put on there it’s great but it makes watering them really easy and then because the sun rises in the East over here I can you know rotate them around if one side’s growing more towards the sun on the table in front of us is a trio of proven winers Leaf Joy house plants I know this is an alakia called zabina Alasia they call it jungle cat which is really a fun name for it this is a type of Fus do you remember the specific name Christopher you know these are going to elude me I apologize it’s getting a little dark out but this has this really awesome olive color on the new foliage and then the Calia OB spolia I’ve been practicing that one I actually have one of these at work and it’s really really big and I love it the other fun thing we found at the Garden Center was they were selling these living lace deina ferns right yes that’s what they’re called just double checking danana and they sell them in these cute little baskets and so we just got these um viny siding hooks that slide up underneath and hooked them on there and I think it looks really cute I agree I think it’s really nice in the corner back here we have a nice elephant ear underplanted with some impatience and we just kind of end up right here this is a type of fig I can’t remember exactly the name though do you I could not tell you I really couldn’t tell you but as another Proven Winners Leaf Joy plant so we kind of decided in this area because this is the living room area of the outside space that we’d bring the house plants outside and I think that’s a really fun thing to do in the summertime is take your house plants outside let them get some fresh air just like we get to do thank you so much for joining us today on our full June Garden Tour we can’t wait to show you what’s coming up in July again I’m Eric and I’m Christopher and we’re grow for me gardening thanks for growing with us [Music] [Music]

  1. Hello Eric and Christopher, I watched this a second time, I never tire of telling you how gorgeous your garden is and you two are delightful😃fantastic tour, keep enjoying the gardening journey .

  2. You might be able to protect the early macrophylla hydrangea buds w frost cloth (1.0 per oz or more). That way you would have blooms at the top & bottom of the shrub.

  3. Beautiful yard! I think you might be right about Hoopla Vivid Orchid attracting budworms. I've never had them before, but I'm fighting them on the Vivid Orchid that are in the ground. The ones in the pots are fine, as are all my other Proven Winners petunias.

  4. Also, I cover the deers fav plants wlight frost cloth every night & remove it after they have past through my yard. It has been 100% effective. It did blow off some hostas last night so I lost a big sum & substance. I’ll be sure to tack it down better tonight. (Light weight would be .55 oz). Not sure about the meaning other than .something is lighter than 1. Something.

  5. I saw that you are going to Cape Cod next week. We just returned this morning after a 3 day getaway. The hydrangeas are the most stunning color blue and they are everywhere. Enjoy! PS if possible, get in there very early, the traffic can be challenging.

  6. Wow!!! Your place is absolutely stunning. I wish I could be your neighbor 😊 I garden in Tampa Florida and I can’t have those beautiful hydrangeas of yours. Your garden shows a lot of love and dedication 🫶🏼

  7. Thanks for the beautiful tour! I’m loving your purple and yellow pots this year. Definitely going to need copying some of those combinations next year 😍!!

  8. Loved the tour of your beautiful garden. Can't wait to see the Hydrangea hedge in full bloom, it will be a stunner. Thank you. 💚💚💚

  9. I just got done bragging to someone about your garden in the comments of another video as if it was my own garden. 😅 I directed them to your channel, to see what a “Beautiful” well maintained garden looked like.

  10. Absolutely gorgeous- especially your hydrangeas room. You guys are so knowledgeable, inspiring and just a great pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge.

  11. Do you have any advice on deadheading or cutting the spent flowers from a proven winners let’s dance rhythmic blue hydrangea? The tag says reblooming big leaf and not to prune. Do I just leave the faded blooms go and wait for it to rebloom?

  12. Hi Christopher and Eric. Your property is gorgeous!! I love that you are in zone 5b-6a. I live in Nova Scotia, and in the same gardening zone. I have been gardening since we built our house in 2000. I wish I knew then what I know now!!! I’ve made so many mistakes and wish I had discovered hydrangeas back then but did become obsessed with hydrangeas about 7 years ago… I have at least 350 hydrangeas in my gardens now, my big leafs being my favourite. We have approximately 1 acre of our 2 acre property fully landscaped. You mentioned in your June tour that you put your big leafs in full sun. Mine in full sun will burn. I also have to wrap the big leafs during winter in order to get blooms. I get so much enjoyment from your videos!!! I so look forward to your videos. You are so knowledgeable especially since you just started in 2018. On my bucket list is to visit the hydrangea festivals in cape Cod!! I follow a few gardening YouTubers but you guys are my absolute favourites!!! My blooms are behind yours for sure but I’d love to send you some pics of my gardens when everything is in bloom to get your honest opinions/suggestions???

  13. Beware, magic ball arbs love to be eaten by deer. I had them in several beds as borders, and ended up replacing 40 of them with winter boxwoods. BTW, Love you guys!

  14. Absolutely beautiful! You have so many wonderful plants. I have screen shot a few that I hope to try in my Nova Scotia, 🇨🇦 garden 🌸

  15. Your garden is looking breathtakingly beautiful! 💚💐 Question – why do you have a border of rock around the foundation of your house? Couldn’t that also be planting areas? Just curious!

  16. You guys did such a beautiful job in just a couple years! I love how modern your garden looks. There's always something new n poppin everytime I watch!

  17. Your outside living room hanging spinning basket flower combo is SPECTACULAR! The colors are GORGEOUS! And I just LOVE the backets that are hanging against the wall. What a BEAUTIFUL garden you have. I was wonder about the very back elevation … it that yours too and does it run into a forest? I just found you today (July 6th) and I am grateful to have done so. I'll be watching ALL your videos.

  18. Great tour! I love that you show the name of the planet on the screen thank you good luck for that.

  19. I want to move where you live! We are still sweltering and the skies are just teasing. I love your garden. Bless you both! You have so much talent!!!

  20. Wow!! I just stumbled onto your channel and I'm so glad I did. Your garden design is perfection with the combo of colors, textures, heights. Love it!! About your banana cream daisies… did you divide them and just separate them a little to put back in the ground in the same area? I got some this year and I don't love the round glob appearance. Yours looked beautiful! Also, drunk pruning made lol.

  22. Hello!!!!! Question regarding your walkers low catmint – do you find the second growth is better to cut it way back like you did vs the chelsea chop in your area?
