Hard to believe that it’s a rooftop garden, it’s sooo lush and vibrant with colors…truly admire your love of gardening and great love of one of God’s beautiful creations…Flowers ❤

[@ChicagoGardener]

Thank you so much!!

[@covenant4115]

I clicked on epic gardening video thinking it was your channel, but it was a featured video of you! Congrats!

[@ChicagoGardener]

Isn’t that cool!! It still doesn’t seem real to me 😆

[@aspiringviolinist5732]

Oh how I missed watching your beautiful garden!! Wow!! It looks absolutely beautiful Bethany!! The powdery mildew almost decimated my hydrangeas, I caught it just in time. The gomphrenas are stunning! Im trying to catch up on all the content you posted. The dahlias!! Mine aren’t so happy…

[@michellefrance1165]

[@ChicagoGardener]

I love supertunie bubble gum This year I have them for the first time and I am satisfied ❤

[@ChicagoGardener]

I love how full they get!!

[@familyrussell1488]

So beautiful!

[@carollewinson1555]

So very beautiful! Your garden is exquisite!

[@ChicagoGardener]

Thank you so much!

[@alice_rabbit8345]

My chocolate mint is struggling this year, I think it may need to be divided. Love the flower cart this year!! I may grow the Black Eye Susan vine next year. I have an old tall wooden ladder it would look great on! It’s Tower *Shamee*(pronounciation)!!

[@kouturekitty21]

silver falls dichondra would look beautiful and should should keep up with the bubblegum.

[@ChicagoGardener]

Okay literally going to do this next year, thank you!!!!!

[@4nikkimay]

Gorgeous ❤🎉❤

[@ChicagoGardener]

Thank you!!

[@stanleystone49]

Morning Bethany your garden is beautiful.greeting from my butterfly garden in ft Lauderdale 😊

[@ChicagoGardener]

Good morning!!!

[@JacquiQ]

Love the Holyhocks 💛 . I so wanted to grow some this season ( Down Under) but decided they would get way too big for my small garden . Are yours dwarf ? Tower "Chamois" is DEF pronounced the way you pronounced it - its French, and you pronounced it perfectly 💕

[@ChicagoGardener]

They are a dwarf variety and the bloom in the first year!

[@timothyjohnson5580]

You mentioned starting your Rudbekia and Echinacea in the fall. Did you start them from seeds or a plant

[@ChicagoGardener]

From plants last fall!

[@CarlinTran]

I'm really enjoying growing gonphrena this year for the first time. Where all did you get your seeds?

[@ChicagoGardener]

Most are from Johnnys seed and then I got some from Urban Farmer as well!

[@karenneese5820]

I also have a light pink gomphrena I did not buy seeds for also? Very odd?

[@ChicagoGardener]

That’s so strange! At least it’s not just me. Do you know what variety it was supposed to be?

[@karenneese5820]

@ChicagoGardener Yes, Rose gomphrena from Outsidepride seeds. I did get some beautiful rose colored but then I got a plant with very light pink.

[@tracythomas343]

I have been obsessed with Echinacea this year. I just bought more to plant this weekend. I’m running out of room in my back garden for containers. I’m going to have to start filling up my little narrow side yard. 😁🪴

[@ChicagoGardener]

Which varieties did you get???

[@tracythomas343]

@@ChicagoGardener none of the nursery pots identify the variety. They just say echinacea. I bought a light pink, med., & a dark pink. I also bought an orange one.
