Final FALL STROLL Through Meadow House GARDENS - Ep. 286

[@carolfisch9750]

You and Saunder (and Joey helped too)have done a tremendous job transforming your land. So many projects. Deer fencing, gates, pulling out invasives, culling trees, creating new garden beds, grass pathways, creating the meadow house, etc. Its remarkable in a very short time. Cant wait to see what projects come next, inside and outside. Feel proud of your accomplishment.

Watching your videos gives me some kind of calmness and relaxation and my way of escaping the chaotic daily life..thank you Summer and Saunders ❤

Love the crocussus! Here in The Netherlands we even have a vacationperiod that is named after it, called; Krokusvakantie 😁

Saunder is very talented! Your videos have been soo relaxing to watch, and those edge lines are perfect (loved the orchard design also). Just want to shout out Saunder cause you two working together have really created a lovely space.

Oooh the rock garden video would be so cool I can’t wait for that. I love how communally involved you are. I bet the community love you guys and what your doing for the culture ❤

the garden looks good now. That will be a lot to defend against weeds for the next couple years. i see so many gardens that turn into weedy eyesores after the first year because people don't realize how much weeding is required to maintain them the first few years.

I may have missed it but next year consider planting saffron crocuses which bloom in the fall and of course has the benefit of supplying saffron. The transformation of this area has been really satisfying. Looking forward to seeing these bulbs in the spring.

You've definitely been busy. Wow, lots to maintain. I wish you all the best!

[@FoggyMooseBog]

I am so jealous of your weather, our ground has been frozen since Halloween 😢. All I can think about is gardening and there's nothing I can do about it 😅.

[@FoggyMooseBog]

Omg the fence line looks great! I can't wait to see it next year!

[@betsymaltby6788]

Wow! What a transformation! Have been following along, looking forward to the Spring Show.

[@Alwaysherethere]

See you in the spring with these gardens!❤

[@WilliamVitale-n9s]

Summer, I love your garden design.!I’m excited for spring in my garden.

[@KokoraLife]

[@alanFconrad]

Hello. I saw you mention that you had a few dahlias and the pollinators weren't interested. I grow 1000+ dahlias. The butterflies and bees go nuts for the collarettes or blooms that age to expose the pollen center. I can send you seeds from my patch that will be collarettes of all colors. Dahlias are super easy to start from seed. The plants will make tubers by the end of the season. I can also send you Mexican sunflowers. They self sow for me every year. Monarchs absolutely love them.

Hi Summer, I've been watching your channel for three years. Seeing your projects in full bloom has been a ray of sun in a very difficult time. Some thoughts for your rock garden, and for whoever designs and plants this garden. You mention "pulling it all up". I have some questions for your consideration while you prepare for that project, given that its such a big area that already has some plant diversity. Measuring seven times and cutting once should be taken into consideration when moving large stones. I think you can be more creative and strategic with your limited stones. Would it be possible to concentrate the stone you already have into pocket rock gardens for the first year? That would give you time to identify spots for future gardens when you or your neighbours inevitably need to remove shale? How can you phase the garden in? Learn from mistakes before you scale? What could you do lower the disruption, and take your time to understand the the plants that already thrive in the existing contours and soils? How can you lower the energy, fuel, and time needed to establish a garden, where some plants are already well-established? What about flattening out existing ledges and add your stones to plant between and around. How can you leave room for goldenrod in the garden? Where can you pull plants by hand? Where on your land do you already have rock garden conditions to transplant the plants that do well in this garden? Could any of them be sources for plants, seed, roots, and cuttings for this area? I'm very excited to see you bring more people on your land, and see how this beautiful place youve created flourishes.

Definitely we don’t have gardens… we have beautiful dreams ❤

The garden beds look like amoebas under a microscope from the top view 🦠🦠🦠

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Be careful with so much mulch/compost, if the soil gets too rich, many flowers don't like it and will have a shorter lifespan, it's something that Roy Diblik mentions a lot. Some perennials love a rich soil, like eupatorium, monardas, or some asters. But so many flowers hate it and will grow tall, flop over in summer, and then have a much shorter lifespan. It's the case for achilleas, eryngiums, echinops, botanical tulips, poppies, crocus, etc... I used to put like 10 cm of wood chips everywhere. But now in some places my soil is way too rich for many flowers and I regret it.

how are you watering everything???
