A walk around my garden | Post-vacation weeds | Lots of lilies in My Carolina Garden

Come with me to take a walk around my garden post-vacation. Let's look at the weeds, see how the irrigation held up and check out lots of lilies in My Carolina Garden!!
You never quite know how your garden will hold up when you go away on vacation. What will you come back to? Will pests or insects have eaten everything? What flowers have started blooming since you last saw your garden?
My name is Nicole Roggeman, and I am a gardener in zone 8B in coastal North Carolina. Gardening is my passion, and I like to try new combinations of plants together, I plant for fun and try not to worry too much. Since My Carolina Garden is in Wilmington NC, we have hot, humid summers, and have sandy soil here. These are all things I keep in mind throughout the growing season. If you like my video content, please subscribe, and stick with me as my gardens grow!

Thanks for showing the real thing. We all loose plants, but mostly everything survived & is looking great. I like seeing you with the plants but which ever I’ll b happy with. Don’t get too hot when dead heading. These temps are brutal 🥵

[@mycarolinagarden]

@margievaughan2456 thank you for the feedback! You're so right, it's hot!!! I also appreciate the support. Have a happy and safe 4th!!

Everything is looking beautiful and seems to have held up nicely! 🌞🌺

First, glad you a wonderful holiday! Your back safe and sound! Your garden looks amazing! It always amazes me how much the garden grows while being away! 🪴👒🪴

[@mycarolinagarden]

@pattyvalinote4612 thank you very much for this sweet message! 😊 You're so right - it IS amazing how much a garden can grow while being away! Have a great day! 🌺🌞

[@christinabrancati2459]

For being away from your garden for a while your garden looks excellent. Just a little dead heading and your back on top. I like the videos both ways.

[@mycarolinagarden]

Thank you so much for your feedback! It really is helpful! 😄 I am pleased with how the garden did - deadheading, here I come! 😅

[@nicholasryan5401]

Beautiful looking garden, its the bees knees.

[@mycarolinagarden]

Thank you so much, as always! 😁

[@lajoyceneafus3021]

So glad you didn't lose a lot of plants while away. Everything seems to be healthy and growing well. Thanks for sharing. I really do not have a preference in the camera shots. Although it is good to see the expressions on your face while enjoying your lovely plants. See you next time.😍😍

[@mycarolinagarden]

@lajoyceneafus3021 thanks so much for giving me your thoughts on the video style, it's helpful to have that feedback. I appreciate your support, and hope you have a beautiful day! 🌞🌺

[@goctalis3064]

I like long videos, such a treat! Happy you enjoyed your trip, the garden looks so nice, the oleander is so impressive , but the other plants too. Calla lilies don t like warm weather, but they are not dead. They will start to grow and bloom at about 21 degrees Celsius. 🥀🌻

[@mycarolinagarden]

Awe, thank you! I'm never quite sure how long is "too long" for a video, but this one just flowed so easily 😄Yes, I am super impressed with the oleander!! That's good news about the calla lilies, this is my first time with them. So I guess I'll leave them in the ground and see what happens! Thanks again! 🥀

[@goctalis3064]

@@mycarolinagarden It is never too long. Yes, forget about the calla lilies and they will surprise you when the weather cools down. I am not sure if they like full sun,, you will see.

[@stefanischilling6401]

Hi! I am glad you had a great trip. Sounds amazing! I like both styles of filming. I’d watch whatever you put out because I really love your channel. I will say though, it was nice to seamlessly walk through your garden with you. Take care!

[@mycarolinagarden]

@@stefanischilling6401 thank you so much for this feedback! I always like it when the gardeners are in the video because it helps to get to know them more, but I have to say this was easier 😂 Have a wonderful, safe 4th of July! 🌞🌺

[@stefanischilling6401]

Very true! Maybe do a little of both. Happy 4th!!

[@soniewhitten4844]

enjoyed the video, love the garden. i'v lost a few plants also. thanks for sharing with us. hope you have a great 4th. be safe.

[@mycarolinagarden]

@@soniewhitten4844 I appreciate this. You have a great and safe 4th as well!

[@user-bu4jk2jq4l]

Great job! Things are looking really good! I'm a big fan of dipladenia, to me they are my new petunia! Love you in the videos! By the way, have you thought about sending in a video to Dig, Plant, Water, Repeat?! We need some southern gardens like yours!

[@mycarolinagarden]

@user-bu4jk2jq4l thanks so much for this message! I said the same thing about Dipladenia being the new Petunia! 😂 No, I hadn't right about sending a video in to her. Hope you're having a great weekend!

[@wesleyhackney]

You should be glad for how well your garden performed. How long were you in Scotland. Would love to see some private gardens over there. On KZbin lots of private gardens in UK that ate amazing

[@mycarolinagarden]

@wesleyhackney I'm definitely happy with how things held up. You never know, especially in the brutally hot summer, not being around 9 days can make a difference. Definitely way different in the UK, but came home with some inspiration!

[@caroldavis3497]

Beautiful gardens, at least you have irrigation, I don't have it and it's hard to go on vacation and leave my flowers, I hate having someone come to do all the watering, it takes quite a while, I do have someone come and water my potted plants around the house. Either way you want to do your videos is fine with me. Could you tell us a little about Scotland? Would love to know about the country, especially since some of my relatives are from there, Thanks!

[@mycarolinagarden]

@caroldavis3497 thank you for your message! I hear you about leaving the gardens without irrigation. I'm new to irrigation, so many times I've left and worried or prayed for rain. I would absolutely love to share about Scotland! I think I will make a video about some of the beautiful sights, gardens and castles ❤️ Probably have it ready in about a week or so.

[@caroldavis3497]

That would be awesome, I think everybody would enjoy that!!

[@summerofstacey6676]

That weed over by the boardwalk looks similar to the spurge we get in Texas. Does it have one main stem under all that? I like how you do your videos where you put the tripod out and then you’re able to be in the shot. But, a lot of the tour videos I watch are like what you did today. I like both. 😊

[@mycarolinagarden]

@summerofstacey6676 yes the weed sure does have 1 stem under all that. Maybe it's the same thing. I hear you, most of the garden videos I watch the people are not in the videos, and that's OK, but I feel like being in them helps people get to know me better... then maybe understand my gardening style more too? I guess I'll play it by ear, as not being in it is way easier lol

[@summerofstacey6676]

@@mycarolinagarden it’s definitely easier to be spontaneous when you just pick up the camera/phone and start filming; I can tell you’ve planned more bc setting up your shots is a lot of work!

[@mycarolinagarden]

@@summerofstacey6676 haha, yes! Thank you, you have made me feel seen!! ❤️
