April Garden Tour

[@kiwikatt12]

Oh my gosh. I always love watching your videos tho my partner would hate it if he knew. Every video I watch I find another plant to my wishlist. Your the best gardener closest to my grow zone. 4a. ❤

[@gardeningTLC]

Haha

[@barbarawill-henn9219]

Thank you for the tour! As a fellow Northern Illinois gardener it is nice to see a bed with some of same issues…weeds, grass in beds, plant loss 😢😢😢, and the joy of the plants returning!

[@gardeningTLC]

Thanks for watching!

[@Hydrangia6856]

Thank you for keeping every day gardening real. You have inspired me to create new beds

[@nancystapleton872]

Everything is looking wonderful! Question: At the end of the year can you edit these garden tours to a mash up your video so every season is shown? I would love to see the evolution of the garden as time changes it. I would love to see how you plan seasons in your beds and how to create every season interest. It is so hard to imagine the same view changing when I plant. I buy things knowing the plant changes from spring, summer and fall… however it is hard to truly imagine what will the view be every season. Sometimes things look great in one season only to look blah in the next. I tend to have to move things a lot. It is so nice seeing your garden and knowing the age of everything. It helps me decide what to buy or not ~ and what to expect. Thank you for sharing so much info! Love the videos & you have so much space ! I am enjoying following along on your garden journey! Excited to see what you do next !

[@SDGK-5]

Love this type of content, so helpful for ideas and planning. Please show again as seasons progress.

[@gardeningTLC]

I sure will 😀😀

[@PeggyMills]

We all have the good, the bad, and the ugly, Michelle. I think it’s good to sometimes see that. I’m looking so forward to all the plans for this year!

[@gardeningTLC]

Haha...just trying to keep it real....

[@Freedom38814]

What a charming house. The gardens look beautiful even though they are just waking up.

[@joanshute3384]

Oh Michelle your gardens are looking great.you Tulips are Absolutely Gorgeous. That is so nice that your Garden Center is near your house. Thank you for letting us visit you for awhile and I enjoyed every minute of it. So until next time God Bless you and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend. ❤❤❤

[@gardeningTLC]

Thank you so much!

[@stagrant8482]

Loved the tour.😊 I spent today planting vinca minor, mazus, and snapdragons in my front yard. We couldn't get grass to grow the past two years, just weeds which I dug out for the past two years 😝. This year I'm trying a variety of ground covers. I'm hopeful for a lovely result.

[@judyanderson8782]

I do the same thing about taking pictures of plants, their growth or non-growth. So I look at the pix and decide what to do next. I put in a new bed in February that I thought was a very sunny location in previous years. When the trees have now leafed out, it's shady. So I may have to move plants.

[@tanis1111]

Thanks for the tour things are looking great. Such fun. I hope you can cut and enjoy the smell of those fallen Hyacinths. Gardner's treat imo lol! 😉😃 And the tulips are just beautiful, right at their peak. So So nice Michelle! You just make me smile. 🥀🥀🥀

[@gardeningTLC]

So nice of you

[@meldog7925]

I can't believe you don't know what's in the red shed. I would have been in there right away to see if there's anything good. I hope you take it so long when you go through it. I'm curious.

[@gardeningTLC]

I did open it and peek in there when we first moved in.... it looked like a bunch of junk to me. But who knows? Maybe there is a treasure in there

[@Ontariogardenlady]

Wow I didn’t realize how massive your property is 😍 Beautiful 🌷

[@cinderellafan362436]

Absolutely beautiful beginnings! Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@gardeningTLC]

You are so welcome thanks for faithfully watching!!!

[@gingercashman3289]

Great tour. Thanks for keeping it Real! I can't wait to follow along for the transformation. The shed looks awesome painted.

[@gardeningTLC]

Thanks so much!

[@richbishop7896]

I planted 3 Lemon Lime Punch hydrangeas last year. Loving that tulip combination. Maybe you'll get your cottage garden done this year. There's always something you want to change or add in your garden. I've been working on mine over 30 years. Thanks for the garden tour Michelle. Bonny zone 5b Ontario, Canada

[@gardeningTLC]

That cottage garden will probably never be finished...lol

[@ChristinesBackyardGarden]

Great video! I can't wait to see all the beds in full bloom.

[@soniewhitten4844]

great video, and the grass is so pretty and green. your garden is beautiful also. thank you for sharing with us.

[@gardeningTLC]

Thanks for visiting

[@michellezentmyer4288]

Another great video. Thank you! Everything looks so fresh. Love your gardens🌸

[@gardeningTLC]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@listener62]

I also live in zone 5 b. My magnolia Jane had more flowers than last year however leaves showing curled and edges are crunchy. Is there anything I can do ? I love your garden, I’m always learning something new. Thank you!

[@gardeningTLC]

It might be the early warm up. Hard to say

[@listener62]

@@gardeningTLC you might be right, thank you for your reply. I was walking around in the garden and found out the young climbing hydrangea leaves showing some distressed. We had frost few days ago, I think the did it. Hopefully we can leave behind those days finally.

[@JetLagRecords]

Gardening TLC, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

[@gardeningTLC]

Thank you!!

[@kristywhited8857]

Nepeta Cat's Pajamas is the shorter and Cat's Meow is the taller. I only know this because I was recently researching them and deciding which I wanted for my retaining wall bed. I have two dwarf butterfly bush that look like your Coralberry. I already lost one, and the remaining two are naked! I'm also waiting to see, and trying to remember if they always start later.

[@gardeningTLC]

You are so right...totally mixed them up...I am going to cut the shrub back to the ground.

[@patriciakumar115]

Another awesome video! Thank you, Michelle.

[@gardeningTLC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@featherfreebird8083]

❤❤❤

[@peggyriordan9857]

The video was great. Walking through your gardens made me smile the entire time. I missed the Willow orb video, so I will go back and see that. Looks really nice. I'm wondering how tall your Weeping Norway Spruce will grow? I'm looking for one that will grow 10 to 12' tall. I just love those and have a spot in my yard where I think it will look beautiful. Will the magnolia grow really big or is it the type that will stay that height? They are so beautiful and feminine in appearance. Also, to me, they are a sure sign of Spring! I want to put my annuals in, but I am concerned that it is still getting to cold at night. My perennials are doing fine, so I am happy about that! Thanks so much!

[@gardeningTLC]

Th Jane Magnolia will get 10-15' tall and 6-10' wide. The Weeping Norway will get around 15' high.

[@peggyriordan9857]

@@gardeningTLC Thank you very much!

[@donnamoore6989]

Would you suggest using landscape fabric where wiregrass grows? It is impossible to pull out since it spreads by rhizomes that break when I pull it. I have used it successfully around my tomatoes in my vegetable garden.

[@gardeningTLC]

To smother yes...just don't cut a hole in it and know it could still spread and grow through. It would need to be heavy duty.

[@ozarkview928]

Day lilies aren’t my favorite flower either, they don’t bloom long enough.

[@AnnPull]

Do you have deer pressure

[@gardeningTLC]

Not really. I get some

[@bettyross4807]

Don’t your Hollyhock throw seeds everywhere?

[@gardeningTLC]

Not yet. They were 1st year plants
