I also love using sticks and branches in my design.

I love your focus on creating a way to forage for your family ❤️

[@jessbordeaux9845]

I would love to see how you go about creating your trellis and garden structures. Your garden is so whimsical and very similar to my space. I'm in year two and gradually adding plants I love.

I am in the middle of creating Eden climbing rose support for the front of the garden. Will post a video soon.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Thank you! Yes, this is the time of azaleas!

We enjoy your videos very much Olga! Your gardens are beautiful and you're inspiring so many to do the same in their own little landscapes! God has given you such a wonderful talent. Thank you for sharing with us.

Your garden is so gorgeous Olga. Beautiful job! I can't wait for mine to mature to this level!

[@OlgaCarmody]

Thank you! In no time your garden will be bigger and better! Enjoy!

I just planted a Charlene De Monaco rose shrub that I fell in love with at the nursery. It's a hybrid tea rose with chaliced blossoms in a beautiful shade of powdery, shell pink.

[@denisecarvill4705]

Very beautiful! Your garden will be even more fabulous when fills in.

[@OlgaCarmody]

I think so, once all those shrubs mature.. Thank you, Denise!

[@kristineobrien8878]

Very helpful ❤ I’ve been working on framing my garden entrances and planting undergrowth this Spring. I’m also looking into companion plants.

[@OlgaCarmody]

How I love all this stuff! Enjoy the process!

[@bjones8354]

It really looks nice!

[@sheilalarsen9558]

So pretty! And great explanation of your future ideas!

I've found honeyberries have a super short growing season and pretty much stop growing by mid July in our area. Planting them in part shade helps keeps the leaves from getting really bad sunburn but they always looks a little ratty by the end of the season. This is especially true of older cultivars like berry blue and borealis (mr/mrs. honeyberry). Some of the newer varieties and the ones with Japanese genetics stay lookin fresher longer-- they can handle heat better. Cant wait to see how this garden room progresses! As always wonderful videos.

How are honey berries with the harvest? Wonderful message!

[@Roman-jl7xe]

@@OlgaCarmody unfortunately my bushes are still only 3 years old so I'm not sure what their harvest are really like. I think I should get about a pint this year off my oldest bush. Last year I got a handful of berries off of "Mrs. Honeyberry" and the taste was fantastic. They remind me a lot of a "blue raspberry" flavor.

Just beautiful! ❤️

I love the idea of Garden Rooms. Do you ever watch Claus Dalby on KZbin? He also applies this concept with stunning results.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Yes, I know him, beautiful garden he has! And I love his accent.

Beautiful garden room. What is that gorgeous white shrub to the right of Generous Gardener arch? X

[@OlgaCarmody]

That is my azalea, which I wouldn’t recommend, since after blooming it is covered with brown aged blossoms and I have to manually take them down.

[@Mrs.S-UK]

@@OlgaCarmody thank you ❤️

I'm a little confused. I grow Honeyberries and you need two different varieties and they both produce fruit. I don't need a "male" plant. I bought plants about same size as you have and they produced huge crop 2nd year and every year since. They are flowering right now and covered with bees - you will have plenty of berries for your children with 4 plants.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Honey-berries do need male and female plants to produce a crop. Maybe some of your neighbors have male plant growing... I can't wait for the crop to come. My front ones are still babies.

[@cynthiahamblin-perry5880]

@@OlgaCarmody I don't have any close neighbors - live out in country. I bought these plants locally and . Honeyberries require cross pollination because the male and female reproductive organs develop at different times, so you need at least 1 to 5 different varieties for production of berries.

[@OlgaCarmody]

@@cynthiahamblin-perry5880 hm, interesting, I really don’t know. I will keep this story in my mind and will ask or research it.

[@nativecaterpillarforbabybirds]

Honeyberries are indeed hermaphroditic, having both male stamens and female pistils within the same flower. The plants are not dioecious. The confusion might have stemmed from the fact that honeyberries are genetically self incompatible, thus needing pollen from a genetically distinct individual of the same species to set fruit. In a sense they are similar to most apples, pears, and some sweet cherries. So it's normal to observe fruit on both honeyberry bush.

[@YeyaM86]

I also have multiple varieties and they all produce fruit.

[@John-wr6yo]

I was considering planting honey berries because i would imagine they are an easy alternative to blueberries. So far my blueberries are doing well. Rabbits come out and around the yard,but they have yet to chew them. So next spring ,i will try honeyberries.

[@OlgaCarmody]

You must have very acidic soil, John, or did you condition it for blueberries?
