Charming Cottage Garden Tour (Early June)

Hello Everybody,
Welcome to our June Garden Tour! It's been a beautiful month, and I'm so happy to walk around the garden with you. We have foxgloves, peonies, clematis, roses, nepeta, geraniums, daisies and more to explore today! Hope you enjoy :)
xoxo Anna

Lol pee on these...😂 Sounds like the coleus was getting more sun than it was used to but since you gave it more water too, that could have made it easier for the green baby 💚🌻🐦🐝🦋💚 some plants will curl themselves over for protection from the sun..

[@francineh.7825]

Wonderful garden tour!! Despite the caterpillars everything looks so beautiful. As always your expressive descriptions make me feel like I'm actually there in your garden 💚

[@OurCottageGarden]

That makes me so happy! :)

[@BeautifulGardensExplorer]

Love your garden so much! 😍 Beautiful photography/videography also!

[@OurCottageGarden]

Thanks so much! 😊

Who gets to live in a fairy tale forest? Yes , I have garden envy, and I make no apologies! That opening shot is just dreamy. I was just in my little suburban garden with traffic driving by , while I planted. Came in to get some peach ice tea and see this. There are no words to describe the difference. But I am grateful for my little piece of the world. I have a white picket fence, lanterns and bunny statuary, topiaries and lots of large boulders and stones in my little garden. I really just wish I had that vista of forest to surround me. I think Disney movies, when I was a child, always made the forest seem enchanted. And yours truly is. BTW.. what is the light colored shrubs that you were standing in front of near the peonies. Love that pop of lightness.

[@OurCottageGarden]

Oh that's an Ivory Halo Dogwood. It's my favorite shrub, and I have them all over the garden! Thank you so much for your kind words. Your garden sounds dreamy :) And we all have our things. For me, I may have a lovely woodland backdrop, but I also have neighbors that shoot their firearms sometimes when I'm gardening, and scare me out of the garden. Grass is always greener xoxo

[@lianeabeyta4515]

@@OurCottageGarden ok... shooting firearms wins! haha

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

It is looking enchanting Anna! My cottage garden in the UK is alittle further ahead than yours: the foxgloves are going over and the roses are just finishing their first flush. I have had a problem with slugs nibbling off flower buds this year

[@OurCottageGarden]

Aw I'm jealous :) Yes, our slugs are very much out!

[@cinaluzharris7210]

I looked it up under bug infestation. "Aphids, thrips, and whiteflies These bugs can cause a variety of damage, including curled leaves and stunted growth."

[@OurCottageGarden]

Thanks! I haven't seen any aphids, but I'll check for thrips tomorrow :)

[@MargrietS]

thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us, Anna 💚💚💚

[@OurCottageGarden]

Aw thank you for being here :)

[@krishanchetan4496]

When you said 'Digitella scandi flora' (hope I'm pronouncing it correct) Is it the scientific name of that plant/flower? It reminded me of my aunt, who used to be a Botany lecturer and she used to mention scientific names for all plants and trees around our home. Sadly she passed away six months ago and she means a lot to me. I love jasmines a lot because when they bloom they make whole Surrounding beautiful and pleasant with its scent. Happy gardening Anna 🌱🌼🌷🌺🌸 god bless you

[@OurCottageGarden]

I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt. Yes, that's the latin name of the soft yellow foxglove, Digitalis Grandiflora :)

[@lanabisson2675]

Your garden is so dreamy. Its what I aspire to achieve. I battle so many invasive weeds here that try to take over my garden. We live in Western Ky. I have massive flower beds. Im 60 yr old but still tackle it all. Lots of hills too. I love love love your yard and all the whimsical touches. Your fur baby is precious.

[@GEORGIOARCADE]

Wow Anna your cottage garden looks like a fantasy land 😁🫶🏽✨🪷🌺💐 They have blossomed into such a beautiful color and they exude life and peace. I can see why you would spend hours out there. It would be cool if you did some reiki videos out there this summer. I'm happy everything is working out for you. Have a blessed day my friend.

[@OurCottageGarden]

Awe!!! Thank you so much, Georgio!!!

[@kimkassy5817]

I wish more garden vlogers would say their zones when they start their videos. You have a beautiful cottage garden, thanks for sharing your dreamy paradise ❤

[@SingBlueSilver-m7t]

The garden is amazing! To be fair, if I was a bunny, chipmunk or a bug I would want to be there too. 😂

[@SherryFaerie]

I love what you did. For rust, or powdery mildew just sprinkle some baking soda.

[@Chuv777]

Thank you for inviting us into your beautiful space! And simply stunning it is too.Food for the soul. I am in the process of removing my foxgloves (which is nigh on impossible since they self seed as you know) but I can't take any chances of my geese and wee duck munching on them! Fab wellies btw! ❤

[@OurCottageGarden]

Thank you! Aw that's quite a chore! Good luck on it :)

[@lisacarbone7792]

You did a phenomenal job! Thanks for sharing your paradise 🦋

Big hugs!! :)

[@Joy-zp5lv]

I can´t get enough of your wonderful garden. I´m a bit jealous - you have so much space. My garden is so very small. Wow, the caterpillars are hungry. This year they are nice to my plants - unlike the slugs. From about 20 cosmos there are 2 left. My petunias are struggeling to grow faster then they get eaten. It´s so wet - the slugs having a party every night. You have created a paradise! Hugs from Germany 😅

[@OurCottageGarden]

Oh no! That's so sad about your cosmos. I'm glad the petunias are fighting though. We have to pull slugs off of ours every day! :)

[@elenahajda9291]

Your garden and you are just so glorious ❤

[@whiterose1972]

You do a wonderful job of keeping the weeds out of the beds but yet everything still looks natural and full and cottage like. ❤️

[@OurCottageGarden]

Aww thank you! :)

[@barbarafrenchvegan]

Peonies, my favorite !! Yours look so marvelous :)

[@OurCottageGarden]

Thank you! :)

[@tedfarmer8510]

Hey quick question… I noticed a pretty miniature tree / shrub right beside your large pink foxglove … I love it,…. what is that?

[@patriciamoran9143]

I'm so happy to find your channel. I've had a cottage garden for over thirty years and have been vegan for close to forty years. I'm so happy to find others who embrace both. Are you in the US? I'm in Michigan.

[@innatelyindigo]

BT (bacillus thuringiensis) is good for caterpillars, moths and worms. It is a biological control. Bonide makes a good one that is sometimes labeled as BT and sometimes it's called Thuricide.

[@DebateDeliberate]

Do you recall the clematis variety growing between the window boxes? It looks incredible.

[@martystevens2313]

The dark pink peony might be Karl Rosenfield. Its a pretty common one found at all the garden centers in the fall. I have 3 of them. The white might be festiva maxima.

[@jonathandrummond8313]

Beautiful. Your darker pink peony looks like a Karl Rosenfield due to both the colour and what seems like a double bloom

[@georgelee7514]

Your garden is magnificent! Quick question: do you happen to know the name of giant green hosta at 45:08?

[@lindafaierson6030]

Love your garden. It's alot of work to keep it up. Thanks for sharing.

[@ulises3219]

It's a work of art 👏

Would you ever consider doing a garden theme Q and A video?! 💐✨ Your garden tours are my absolute favorite and I dream of having a garden even half as beautiful as yours! Would love to hear more of your wisdom and experience! 🌹

I just came across your video. Your garden is my dream garden 🥰

[@snapshot1386]

Wow wow wow! I love your garden. I also have put foxgloves in my garden, but they haven’t grown as beautiful as yours. Your garden reminds me of Mona’s garden in the Monalogue KZbin channel. You both love your garden so much it shows in your gardening. Looking forward to seeing herb and vegetables garden. Also, some recipes would be awesome. Thank you for sharing! 👏🏻

Hi Anna - love, love,love your garden! It is so peaceful and tranquil. I just tried planting Foxgloves for the first time this year. Did you grow yours from seed? Seeing if I can let mine reseed naturally. I also am trying Hollyhocks - but think it will be next year's show. I didn't know if you knew about Neem oil. I dilute a small amount with water and it helps against many pests and problems(not a harmful pesticide- natural). Love Georgie- I had a dog just like her growing up- she's so sweet. Just found your Reiki channel and been having the best sleep ever. Thank you for sharing - wishing you nothing but positive good vibes and blessings!🤗

[@OurCottageGarden]

Thank you so much!! That's great, and yes Georgie's the best. I'm very lucky. I planted a lot of my foxgloves, and then we found all of those foxgloves at the end of last season on sale for $1 so we stocked up! Although they were kind of duds, if I'm honest :) I have heard of Neem Oil for powdery mildew. Have you used it for that? The Hollyhocks here are about to bloom, I found some first year bloomers, so I'll share those with you when they're in their full glory! Thanks for watching xoxo

[@CorinneE-vv9zx]

Hi Anna - I have used Neem oil for powdery mildew and for Japanese beetles. I'm in Michigan and they usually love to eat my Virginia Creeper. Not sure about other pests but possibly worth a try. I would love to see your Hollyhocks- I planted some Excelsior , Foxy, Camelot, and Article Fox Rose Foxgloves. I'm hoping for some good displays next year. Would love to see more of your gardening videos :) Hoping for a garden half as beautiful as yours!

That combination of the beautiful light blue floral patterned dress... with the army green rubber duck🦆 boots is truly striking and eye-catching in its dichotomy. 😄😉 I tease, but I truly love these garden tours. I wish I could plant the way you do, but our 1.3 acres is largely unfenced and I'm limited in what I can plant so as to not poison the neighbors' free range dogs and cats... or the cows in the pasture that like to stick their heads through the barbed wire and nibble from our flowerbed. (Irises are highly toxic to cows, apparently. 😮) Still, doing what we can with what we have 😊 with inspiration from you and Bert.

[@Jim_biis]

So very pretty ❤😊

[@OurCottageGarden]

Thank you, my friend :)

[@patriciamoran9143]

Anna, for phlox to prevent powdery mildew, I pinch out branches in spring so that the leaves didn't touch each other early on, and there's is plenty of air flow between the branches. As the plant grows it will fill in, but it helps prevent an environment that mildew likes. Each plant suffers from a different mildew specific to the plant, but they all respond to products with sulphur.

[@vanessab2726]

You need to have a shit-load of money to do this. Gardens don't spring up by themselves.

[@labellecongolaise]

I’m also going to add estate sales! I’ve gotten so many of my plants and containers from estate sales. The containers they sell already have plants in them, for so cheap. Double win!

[@OurCottageGarden]

Dividing plants and starting flowers from seed is a great way to garden on a budget.

[@Blitzorgo]

Time and patience my friend not lots of moolah

[@garywilliams7454]

@@Blitzorgo Nobody makes a garden like this without lots of money

[@cherievallee646]

A great way to get lots of perennials is to grow from seed. Now is the time to start them and plant in the garden this fall.
