I often tell people that my secret to happiness is to lower my expectations:)

[@verawallace9055]

Sounds good to me 😊

[@teresaswanson1850]

I agree!❤

My boyfriend often says, “that came out better than i thought it would” lol😂

[@kimberlyking1062]

In your garden walk thru with Roy he made a great statement. He said sometimes you just have to tell certain areas “sorry guys. I’m just not getting to you this season.” That was a lightbulb moment for me. Really helpful.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Yea I loved that!

[@karunald]

Yes!!!!

[@krybastian2611]

What a breath of fresh air to hear inspirational gardeners such as you describe the difficulties in keeping things going. I think we all need to figure out how to “do” less with garden tasks. Last year I was watching another of my favorite KZbinrs who was growing tired of working in the heat and she started to say, “this is the point where I have to just (and I thought she was going to say, “get out there and get it done.”) Instead she said, “just let some of this die.” 😂😂😂 I think of that phrase often❤️

[@jenperry427]

okay who was this amazing gardener that speaks to my soul? :D

[@kristywhited8857]

I garden on a much smaller scale and I feel overwhelmed too. It's that feeling of "never-ending" when all I really want to do is reach the finish line. And I don't mean stop gardening finish line, I just mean no new beds, no new plants (unless something needs replaced) and getting to a point where maintenance and care-taking is all I really need to do. I want to get to know each and every plant and give it what it needs. I don't want to be an expert on every plant, just the ones in my garden. I just turned 60 and I've come to realize the more you create, the more you have to maintain. Low maintenance is my buzz word these days, along with deer resistant and zone hardy 4-8 minimum....since I'm zone 6 and some plants didn't survive this very cold December. I have broken my gardens into 6 different areas (zones) and I only work on one at a time. That has taken a lot of pressure off me....just focusing on what I'm doing and not all the rest that still needs to be done. Hope you get it sorted out and show yourself some grace. Gardening should be fun....but it certainly can be back-breaking work too.

[@jefwalte76]

We love you Erin! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your garden with us.

[@sharonmcentee8615]

Erin. I love watching you. You’re so down to earth and FUNNY. “ If you watch Laura, of course, you do everyone does!!!” Hahahaha

[@sharonmcentee8615]

Had to laugh at the Fargo comment too😂

[@lainyjane4581]

i smiled and nodded yes throughout the video because i have experienced exactly what she was sharing or something so very very similier. came to same conclusions.

[@sharonmcentee8615]

@@lainyjane4581 oh me too.

[@klhwalker]

I love that you frankly share what's happening in your garden. We too are overwhelmed this year both in the garden and in pretty much every other aspect of life.

[@patriciathome7857]

So refreshing that you share your real feelings about how overwhelming gardening can become. Some KZbinrs make it look so easy to manage huge gardens which is a disservice to us out here who are looking for support and advice. I love that you are leaving the need for perfection behind!! Yay! Based on your recommendation for solar lights and edging tool I ordered and am excited waiting for delivery. Thank you!❤

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

I think I figured out why everyone seems to be burnt out by working in their gardens. During COVID, no one could really get together and enjoy life as normal, because normal had significantly changed. There were no weddings, no parties, no graduations, no trips to the beach, or anything much to do. Staying home was the name of the game, and working in the garden became a respite for many. There were no other distractions. Now that things are starting to go back to pre-Covid times, we find ourselves torn with multiple choices and priorities. Compared to other activities, the garden is on the list, but often gets delayed for other fun gatherings. We've been isolated for so long, it's hard to pass up getting together with friends and family. The garden will always be there, but family and friends are first.

[@klk12399]

We are on the same page. With age comes wisdom and knowing your limitations. I've been working very hard in my garden the last few years trying to make it more maintenance free by planting more trees, shrubs and groundcovers. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel to a more maintenance free garden where I can putter and not "work" so hard.

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Love your new “mellow” attitude! And you’re right, probably most of us are there with you. I’m definitely not perfection either, nor do I strive to be. Let’s age with having fun in our gardens with no stress or grand expectations. I love your videos, Erin. I must have missed the walkway video! I will find it and enjoy. Thank you for always sharing with us!

[@fayebarnes4756]

Thank you! You are so easy to 'relate' with. I have been in this garden for 35 years, I was working full time until 5 years ago. I finally feel like I have some direction. I have learned much and enjoy your ' honest' gardening. Not at all pretentious, and that's refreshing! Hands and knees of a gardener should have dirt on them!

[@janc8763]

Yes! Well said.

[@QueenAnnesLace13]

Erin, you do you; and that's why we watch, learn, and enjoy. Thank you for being you!

[@franthomas5867]

I wholeheartedly agree!

[@lisajelle714]

Don’t let the haters get you down- you’re the Impatient Gardener, for gosh sake!😅 I’m impatient, too, and I love the way you do things. Don’t ever change! ❤

[@carolkelly638]

Less is best! I feel the same way you do. I don’t work a full time job but I still don’t have the time or energy. I love watching your videos even if it’s the same old garden or a new one.

[@alice_rabbit8345]

Yes, I’m 63 and work part time. My small garden is half shade and now has hostas, ferns and other shade plants which are low maintenance!

[@kjrobinsontelusnet]

Don’t sweat it girl. You are perfectly imperfect. I love your philosophy and your wisdom. You really don’t need to apologize to any of your true fans. We love you unconditionally.

[@daiseegray9110]

I’ve found gardening with a friend helps get things done faster. I’ve been over to my sisters twice this year and it makes gardening more enjoyable 🌼🐝

[@SF-qu6kp]

My motto is to leave myself room for improvement. I meet my motto multiple times each and every day. Like hope, grace is free. Thank you, Erin, for sharing your passion and self.

[@chrisrfan]

Eeeekkk! You read my postcard! I sat here with grins ear to ear!❤ The Cotswolds are beautiful any time of the year, but the Spring was especially pretty!

[@carollochridge1898]

Thank you so much for your videos, Erin. We don’t care about the weeds. Just show us the pretty things in your garden over and over. A moment on a video repeated doesn’t seem repetitious. We go outside to look at these things in our yards as often as we can. So we like to see them and hear your talk about them as often as you have a mind to do it. I know this is time consuming though. I wish you had more help. We all do don’t we. Please thank Mr. Much More Patient for his role in bringing all of this to us. We are grateful for all of his help. Thankfully we’ve had rain in Tennessee to get a break from the watering for a minute. ❤

[@LB-vl3qn]

Bless your little cotton socks, my garden is kicking my butt, too. My guess for your choice to plant at your office is... a banana! If not, why not? Take a breather, my dear. ~ Lisa P.S. Edited because my cat posted before I was finished writing my comment.

[@tammydeschenes4857]

I feel you Erin! So overwhelmed here in NB, Canada . Trying to build a greenhouse(with my 78 yr old father),helping daughter out (with her 3 yr old eldest ) who just had a new baby which lives 4hrs away(not to mention driving back and forth due to false labor episodes🤦‍♀️). And soooo much rain. My gardens have been on back burner and are definitely showing it. Weeds, insect pressure… Finally the GH is up and about ready to plant in although still a few touches to finish on it. Daughter is finally settled with the new family and I feel I can breath again and am yearning to get back to my garden and serenity. I never expected building a greenhouse would have been so much work. But I will appreciate my time with my dad and cherish it forever!

[@cyndi_acrossthelake]

I love your honesty. I walked into my garden and found my hydrangeas were in bloom. What? HOW? What? How can they be in bloom when I'm still planting? Summer snuck up on me! In other words: I can relate.

[@jennypatterson6660]

I am chuckling, I watch "the impatient Gardener" religiously, as for "Garden Answer" I think I have watched maybe 3 or 4 times.

[@Tracy-zj4sr]

i have a huge garden, consisting mostly of very deep mixed borders. My beds are mostly perennials, with about 460 dahlias tucked into the 4,000 sq. ft. I plant up 20 huge pots of annuals and have a few large raised bed for succession planted vegetables, as well. It's....a lot. For the first time, I've hired a very skilled and hardworking nursery employee to come and weed, edge, and dead head two days per month and let me tell you, it has made ALL the difference in how much I can enjoy my garden. I still have plenty to do, but now I have the time to make about ten bouquets a week and fiddle with roses, tie climbing vines, and just enjoy it. Think about it, Erin!

[@j.m.7056]

Thanks for being so transparent and honest about your gardening experiences. We all are experiencing many of the same things along with you! Looking forward to seeing the privacy planting progress.

[@catherineslavin7324]

Overwhelm affects us all. I wouldn't blame age, though. I'm seventy and still doing all my own gardening and even some hardscaping. It doesn't have to slow you down. We moved and I started a brand new garden five years ago and sheet mulching was an integral part of making it happen.

[@dennisfeldman7799]

Great attitude. Life is too short, and we're only here for so long. I'm enjoying my very imperfect garden.

[@leslieshields280]

Loved that you said that we don't need to see another video of planting annuals in containers!!! Confess that the best thing I got from Laura was a link to you. I really appreciate your style an attitude and interest in real knowledge - not just PW propaganda. Thank you

[@jcbfree]

HI Erin. I'm with you on feeling overwhelmed. 4 weeks of traveling makes for really tall weeds. I don't know where to start. Also I don't tolerate heat or humidity at all so I follow the shade around our property. It takes a lot out of you dragging hoses around. I want to put in drip lines. We are on the same wave length Love your site. Thanks for all you do.

[@allisonsnz]

Oh my gosh Erin, I love you for "keeping it real" it's exactly what I needed to hear today! Such a goofy season here in Northern Illinois plus all the craziness that life brings. Thankful for moments of escape in the garden. In the future you will receive my postcard from New Zealand, (once it is unpacked and I send it😮 - keeping it real 🤩) . Have a most amazing July 4th! PS: Growing up Mitchell Park was my neighborhood park - I grew up thinking all Gardens needed to be planted in elaborate designs😂

[@susiescott661]

'Don't let perfection be the enemy of progress' is definitely something I came to with age. Glad to see you might be the same Erin.

[@adz5bneweng589]

Always love your videos. So funny about plant name pronunciations! I have one too: instead of fillipendula, I always say flippin-dula.

[@sherrillgagnon6758]

My husband and I have been working like crazy the last few years making our 5 acre property in Ellenburg NY beautiful with gardens and fruit trees and vegetable/ berry gardens. July 2nd torrential rains flooded our property and destroyed a big chunk of it. I am devastated and feel overwhelmed with starting over but am trying to stay optimistic. Luckily our house was untouched and just minor flooding in our garage. Many friends and family has reached out to offer help and a local garden center has offered to give us perennials to replace what I lost. So thankful for such kindness ❤

[@jillsimpson8716]

Thank you so much, Erin! I love Laura from Garden Answer, but appreciate your more approachable and realistic style of gardening. And you’ve introduced me to the magic of Roy. He’s wonderful. Keep on keeping on and remember to slow down and appreciate all you have done. Love your videos! Iowa zone 5

[@sbarton291]

Jim Putnam just said on Sunday "it doesn't matter how you pronounce the word, at the end of the day does the person understand you". Of course there was more funny dissertation but he was making the point it doesn't really matter. Love your videos and thanks for taking the time to do them when you're finding it difficult to spend time in your garden. Time, if only we had more of it; rather think we just push ourselves to do more instead of relaxing.

[@irma_brenton]

Love you Erin! Thank you so much. You have inspired & MOTIVATED me more than I could have ever imagined. My goal is to one day have a garden as fabulous as yours 🥰🫶🏻🌺🌸💝💘

[@Yeseniav09]

You are the few of the "real" gardeners out there, where you are honest with yourself and others on what you will and will not put up with in the garden. I could not see myself being like this a few years ago, being a new gardener myself. Now I am totally headed in that direction 😂 keeping things visually interesting, but also simple maintenance is key for me.

[@Jermboy1980]

"Send in pictures of your bananas" was the best thing I heard all day! Thanks for the great vids!

[@atomicwendy]

I adore your accent. don't hide it.

[@dees.1686]

Erin, you've started a trend - everyone's going bananas 😂!

[@rebeccanisley8709]

Erin, the wildfire smoke we are all coping with really does wear us down.

[@alaine57]

I think your hilariously honest, like that best.

[@user-bb2jo5ch2v]

I'm also in that 1-2 seasons away period and chafing at the bit to get there!

[@clairechurch3192]

Hey Erin- l live on the edge of the cotswolds and you are welcome to stay with me, near Broadway. We are 30 minutes from Hidcote, Sudley., Batsford and Westonbert. I think you would really enjoy our arboretum, as you have so many trees. Hope you can make the trip one day.

[@mitzi605]

Beauty in imperfection. Letting go is freeing.

[@suzannebartow6390]

As for your path, my opinion is that first this a natural area and "perfect" would have screamed formal. And what you did was form meeting function which was perfect for this naturalistic path. So I loved it and as you said the plants will soften those edges...so no worries.

[@maryannferencak3799]

Wow. I know what you mean about working so hard in the garden. I've become a slave to my garden. It's hot, dry, I'm old, and my first priority every morning is watering everything by hand since I don't have drip irrigation. I even schedule my appointments around my dang garden! I feel like I'm running a race sometimes to get my beds completed. I'm tired, too !

[@robertandcathyhopper7849]

Love your videos. Our yard work is ahead this year compared to last year. I was on my own since my husband had surgery. It is so nice to have help again even though he is not at all speed ahead. Still recovering. Still feel overwhelmed though. After two years of devastating grasshoppers our plants are recovering slowly. Still weeding so behind on fertilizing. Love your honesty and being so truthful with no apologies on who you are and how you feel. Keep gardening and inspiring the rest of us. I love the walkway. It is unique and one of a kind.

[@TheGardeningMe]

Omg, Erin...it's like you are in my head. When you were talking about the overwhelm and eventually getting to 'routine maintenance'...That and 'tweaking' things.....absolutely my favourite part of gardening ❤

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Erin! I love how honest you are about things. Don't feel bad about falling behind, we all know how busy you've been. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@maureenreed3105]

Too many new projects! Too many new garden areas! Time to get to know your garden and fine tune it, play with nature, not just work at it. I am 76 years old and recovering from cancer and I love every minute in my garden.

[@katiedc8239]

I love how authentic and kind you are. You keep it real and your gardens are lovely, "finished" or not. Peace!

[@maryweyer8850]

Love your salty comment! This is why I love your channel, you share it all!!🥰

I don’t mean to start new gardens but I always do!

I'm a seed collector... And I also love to throw seeds in what I think would be a beautiful and appropriate place. Been guerilla gardening since 2001!

[@ladikmk]

Perfection is boring, and I don't do boring. Give me flowers, spontaneity and honesty and that's exactly why I enjoy watching your videos Erin - you keep it real. I've collected garden/flower postcards for the longest time and use them as bookmarks so they can bring back memories and the joy of seeing those gardens all over again. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@theresaodwyer2026]

Erin you are such a joy to follow! I found you a few years ago on your Wine & Weeds videos. Never disappointed with your topics and projects! I too have new banana trees. My neighbor has shared the new shoots with me. I have one in my front yard and two in the backyard in an area we have named “The Nature Walk”, a path in the woods for our grandkids. Thought it would be cool for them to walk under their long lush leaves! Incidentally, she harvests the leaves in the fall before the frost takes them. She rolls them up and freezes them to use for her tamales.

[@franthomas5867]

Hi Erin! What fun it was to watch this video. Its as if you were sitting down with each viewer over a cup of coffee just chatting! I loved it and watching it lowered my blood pressure! You can now add the role of "Calm coach" to your resume! Have a great 4th! Greetings from Seattle.

[@ClaudiaAitaCosta]

Great example of "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good". There's definitely a diminishing returns curve when it comes to gardening, especially if you don't have a crew. And, I agree with your light placement for those specific reasons. Looks great!

[@sbffsbrarbrr]

Oh my gosh, you are speaking with my voice today. I am done with expanding my garden and vegetable beds. This year and from now on I just want to divide and move and propagate and add something new here and there.

[@karenmorse7031]

I totally hear you. I’m 60 now and I have to get this garden (we just moved in Dec ‘21) to a point where it’s basically maintenance free.

[@judithmckenna2056]

Love watching your videos. You always keep it real! So nice to have permission to feel tired of the work. Yes, an feeling old😂 i really am, you are not but appreciated you acknowledging how we all feel at any age😀 Change is hard, the cottage being moved is a big deal. Love your honest attitude. You inspire me so at 76, I will keep plugging along at my own pace. Thanks❤

[@cathymccoy5360]

You are so down to earth and i love that about you!! Your such a joy to watch 😊! I have had 3 right hand surgeries this year and have been overwhelmed to get my beds cleaned and plants planted. My husband helped me yesterday and i am feeling much better. Just know “this too shall pass.”❤

[@angelasevier6520]

I agree with how your accent can come across stronger,,, Talking with people that still have that accent because they weren't misplaced.. Ha. I was misplaced. And occasionally my TRUE ACCENT COMES OUT . AS Soon as I start talking to family or friends from where I grew up, Suddenly, I'm a TRUE Southerner again. TY

[@amynelsongreen3243]

Great video, Erin! I love your gardens and your approach. The pronunciation piece made me laugh out loud! Especially after Jim’s Sunday &A. I love the inspiration to keep it real, take time to love it along the way and embrace the imperfections! Thank you!

[@robertparker8669]

Yes, beauty in the simple, imperfect things. KISS, Keep It Simply Simple!

[@lauraw4902]

I am delighted to hear that you also revert back to an accent. I was raised in the Deep South but moved to AZ at the age of 13 and lost most of my accent over time. An old friend of mine said, “Every time you talk about your mother, you develop a Southern accent.” Guilty! It also pops out when I get mad. Lol

[@lavinapoppleton1396]

Oh my word, I hear you about “enjoythe garden it doesn’t last long”. Last year was a gap year for me, crippled up waiting for bilateral hip replacement surgeries…finally had them and this year I was good to “get down and dirty”! I have worked like a woman possessed, and finally have things under control. Today for the first time I sat on my deck and just looked at the yard and smiled…really smiled! Such a great feeling! Your yard is gorgeous, I love your videos, your down to earth approach and I must be tone deaf because I do not detect an accent when you speak lol…at least not much of one 😂 Sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy your yard Erin!

[@heathermcelroy7171]

Thanks for addressing the level of "overwhelmed". Please don't stress about comments or posting. We all need to sit back and say thank you for having any videos from someone so intelligent and articulate. THANK YOU!

[@heidijones1516]

I loved your video today Erin, sooo relatable, so candid, so honest . . . Thank you!!

[@SMElder-iy6fl]

For lower maintenance I've planted a lot of native plants that take care of themselves.

[@barbarafritz2766]

I too love watching Laura and Aaron’s videos but love yours also! You are awesome!!!

[@SteveL2012]

I am one of the geranium “Rozanne” lovers. It covers the ground quickly and suppresses weeds, blooms continuously from spring through fall, has the most beautiful lustrous bloom color and also will grow back quickly from the clump if you prune it or give it space. It is a prolific grower, however, and will overtake other plants aggressively (like a vine on the ground) if you don’t prune occasionally. Like all others watching, I love Erin’s channel and content!

[@janereel1903]

you said exactly my experience with Rozanne. Zone 5-6a upstate NY.

[@roslynholcomb]

I totally get what you’re saying about large projects. When we first moved into this house I cut down a 20’ x 100’ row of overgrown privet with nothing but a machete. Those type projects are out of the question now. Thankfully we are in a better position financially so we can hire it out. There is something to be said about ‘good enough’. Not perfect, maybe not even the ‘right way’ but the right way for us and that’s a good place to be.

[@guntaweiland3428]

My kind of gardener. Thank you. Relax too❤

[@jilladcock5648]

I feel so much like you do. But my gardens are maturing and while I have some “bigger” projects for the most part I’m close to just doing the fun part of gardening. And you are still working! This is my first year retired and what a difference that makes. Everything will get easier and while you are too young to get excited about it now, do everything you can to plan on retiring when you are still healthy and can enjoy it! By the way, I love your imperfection. Yes, we all love Laura but you are much closer to the type of gardener I am and type of garden I have and you educate as well. Thanks for being you!

Great video. I love the Salty commentary. Comedy is the best road.

[@heidibentz390]

we used to live near Hidden Gardens and I loved walking there when my kids were babies/toddlers, because it was very stroller-friendly, but still had TONS of off-sidewalk trails through woods and streams for them to stretch their legs. HIGHLY recommend! And yes, it's an extension facility of MSU.

[@atlantagardener1]

[@kristaself126]

Another great video.

[@pamelavalente3731]

Hey, Erin, you just keep being you! I think I probably speak for most of us in your community when I say that. We all keep tuning in to listen to you because of what you bring to us as a "real" gardener. Doesn't matter worth a hill of beans what kind of accent you have. Personally speaking, I love that there are so many different accents in the world...makes life so much more interesting. And, yes, so many of us can empathize with you about the really slow start to our gardens this year. My daffodils usually emerge right after the crocuses, with tulips and hyacinth coming next. This year my daffs came up LAST. And the foliage from all of my bulbs seemed to hang on forever, making it difficult to plant new things in their place. So, yeh, I'm right there with you...feeling a little overwhelmed. Just have to keep on keeping on! (Does that last remark show my age?) 😂 💚😊💚

[@Talula72]

I enjoyed this video SO much. These Q&A videos are so fun and I always learn new things

Erin, you inspire me with your knowledge and creativity! It's good to know I'm not alone in feel the garden overwhelm! I loved the video with Roy and especially his comment about using the good ole garden hoe to cut down on weeds. I bought a stirrup hoe for my new beds and it is my new best friend! Thank you a million times over from Grand Rapids, Michigan!
