April Container Garden Tour - Shady Garden Inspiration

[@aprilanywhere3879]

WOW! Not enough words, just WOW❣️ I would stay out there all day! As my grandmother would say," you really have a green thumb!" Just beautiful ❤️

[@17m2garden]

Aww how kind of you to say that 🙏🏻💗!

[@marthaslater318]

I'm gardening on a much smaller balcony than yours, in Southern California, so I'm working with different plants, but you are such an inspiration! I learn something every time I watch you. Thank you!

[@17m2garden]

Now that's truly the best possible feedback 💚 Thank you so much, I'm happy to hear that these videos are helpful!

[@gillswift274]

What a difference a month makes and your balcony looks so beautiful and is a credit to you and your green fingers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊

[@17m2garden]

Right 😍? The garden is getting more and more lush with each passing day! Awe you're too kind 💚

[@valoriegriego5212]

Good day, beautiful garden lady! 😃 Your enchanting garden has fully awakened, and it's lovely! It looks like your second clematis was just waiting for something to climb on. It's really taken off! Your first clematis is stunning...wow!😃 I hope to have room to add a Japanese maple to my garden someday. I'm attracted to the green one.😃 Thanks for the tour. Love your green shirt, and you look beautiful as always! 💕

[@17m2garden]

Hi friend 👋🏻! Haha it really has! It will take over this entire arch 😅! Maples grow pretty slowly so if you pick a smaller one you can enjoy it for many years before it outgrows it's space 🍁 Thanks so much and have a great day 🌸!

[@mypreciousgarden]

That hosta Halcyon foliage is bautiful, and your clematis too !

[@ninad9626]

So pretty, I like how you have a bit of everything mixed together. Those tulips are amazing!

[@17m2garden]

Thank you! Trying to make it feel a bit more like a garden and a little less like a balcony ☺️🌿

[@goctalis3064]

It is a little paradise you created there. Thanks for sharing. 💚💚💚

[@YearAroundBlooms]

[@17m2garden]

Hi! Thank you so much, and welcome to our little container gardening community ☺️🪴

[@philee2020]

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love the Clematis montana ‘Mayleen’🌸 and the Japanese Maples🍁!👏🏻They add lovely vibrancy to your balcony. Also love the ‘Halcyon’ Hosta and the rest of the little shade garden 🥰.

[@17m2garden]

[@mariapatriciachavez214]

❤❤❤❤😊

[@Krisztina1978]

Absolutely stunning, as always!❤ When did you sow the Forget-me-not seeds?😊

[@17m2garden]

Thank you! Last summer, cause they are biennials, they bloom in the second year. You can find a tutorial on my Seeds Sowing playlist ☺️🌸!

[@LimitlessHomestead]

It's nice to see the changes each month. Thanks for sharing and giving me inspiration. How long did it take for the clematis montana to get to that size. I am looking into buying a already Rooted Starter Plant in the next few days.

[@17m2garden]

My pleasure! Thank you for your kind comment 💚! Clematis grows really fast! I planted Mayleen in the summer of 2022, it was tiny, but it grew at least 2m in the first year!

[@user-qs7rp5vt7m]

I like the pine cones topping a plant pot. I'm going to try and find some for my own pots. Thank you! P.s. you have a beautiful garden.

[@17m2garden]

Aww many thanks! Pinecone mulch is the best! Not only it looks pretty but offers many great benefits to your plants ☺️👍🏻

[@Leentjhuuu]

What are the benefits of mulch?

[@17m2garden]

@Leentjhuuu I have a whole video about it, don't hesitate to check it out 😉! You can easily find it on my playlist called "Balcony Gardening For Beginners".

[@patriciablancopena4581]

Great video! I really enjoyed the tour and the names on the screen were very helpful, as well as the info about your balcony at the beginning. Would you consider the balcony a dry shade or a wet shade? Thanks!

[@17m2garden]

Hi! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Dry or wet shade depends largely on the type of soil you have in your garden (sandy, loam, clay), how well or how poorly it retains moisture, and the presence of other plants in the area - for example large trees that will compete for water with other plants in that particular area. We can't really talk about dry or wet shade in containers, especially when the plants are planted in separate pots. In containers you choose, you can create a custom potting mix, sandy and well-drained or rich and water-retaining, tailored to your plant's needs ☺️

[@patriciablancopena4581]

@@17m2garden great! Understood! Thanks!

[@Milly_in_denmark]

I have a big garden space to plant all the plants I want, but it’s a new area so we have no trees and it gets so windy here in Denmark. Therefor I have most of my plants in containers and you are such an inspiration 😊

[@17m2garden]

Aww that's a pleasure to hear, thank you 🥰!

[@SharonKloss.]

Thanks for sharing!! I have a similar balcony garden, may I ask what fertiliser do you give your zonal geranium? (Any recommendation is welcome, whether it's homemade or store-bought. I watched your video about that flower before, I'm wondering what fertiliser you use on it this time of the year. thanks x)

[@17m2garden]

Hi! I shared my updated plant care routine earlier this year. I explained in detail what I use it and how I use it. The video is called "My Plant Care Essentials For Container Garden And Houseplants", you can easily find it on my Soil and Fertilizers playlist 🌸☺️
