Garden Q&A + sneak peaks + postcards

[@vickikeeler2597]

I’m here for you Erin-following you now for almost 2 years. Appreciate your “real” life that includes your garden; and like MOST of us, we have jobs that don’t involve our passion for gardening. Look forward to any videos you post, and whenever you post them, they don’t need to be at a regular time or day. Thanks for sharing your passion with us and making the effort to do so.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Well said and I co-sign!

[@pandasrose]

Thank you for how real you are in the garden! Showing the good and the bad is so helpful. I really enjoy your content.

[@patriciasanders-perez9215]

Love your videos. So real. More like what I go through in my life as a solitary gardener. I have learned so much.

[@alcg3981]

I ❤ that term Solitary Gardener!😊 Describes me exactly, working away on my garden and hardscaping projects and creating MY garden for ME. Sometimes I post IG or fb pix. The other dwellers in this house have no interest whatsoever in it. That doesn't phase me a bit though, I'm a Happy and Content Solitary Gardener😸🦋😻💜🍓🌹♀️🐝😺.

[@olga7934]

Erin, you are so down to earth and I love it. What you see is what you get and the same goes for your garden. I know what a garden looks like coming out of a long winter (Lake Erie, ON Canada) and working like crazy to clean and tidy and plant). Let's enjoy this glorious springtime as much as we can. 😎🥂

[@M2TC]

Check the edit on the last minutes-looks like some cuts got left in🙂love your channel-favorite gardening content

[@mimlauj6869]

Lol I thought I was accidentally tapping or hitting the back/rewind 😂

[@susanrieske4258]

It's a blooper reel.😂

[@lindaphillips7936]

So happy you show us your garden when it's not at it's best. That let's us know that ours are ok when not perfect. Sometimes I get frustrated when I see a wonderfully manicured. 🙃 thanks

[@poppyowen4634]

Thank you, Erin. I look forward to your videos, whenever you are able to post them. In fact, it’s more fun when they’re unexpected!

[@ruthdoucette1841]

Erin, I like seeing your informative videos. I admire your honesty in sharing realistic work in the garden. I never accomplish my tasks on the "to do" list items. I am either overly ambitious or deluded. Anyway, I always learn something helpful in your videos. Keep on with your good work.

[@alcg3981]

Cheers to being Deluded and Over-Ambitious😊😅!

[@ogadlogadl490]

That was a very interesting story about the lady about amending her clay soil with nothing but leaves! Would love to hear more tid bits about gardens you’ve been to that are useful or interesting as many of us will never make to all of the places you’ve been to.

[@VancouverIslandgirl]

I personally look forward to all your videos,because you have great content and your garden is so relatable to our gardens ! Plus you are still working a day job , I’m retired now work in the garden every day, wondering how I did all this while I was working. So Kudos to you.

[@Eric.Mercado]

Erin, I love the channel and authenticity you bring. ❤ I'm fairly new to gardening but it's surely becoming a passion. You are one of a few YT gardeners that inspire the passion and have taught me so much even though you're in a totally different world than me timezone wise(9b). I still tune in and learn something new every time. I appreciate and thank you for being authentically you. Just so you know, even if YT isn't showing me your new content, i manually search for your channel. Yours and Jim's channel are the only two I do that for, all the other popular ones get watched if they get recommended.

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

I'm so glad you mentioned the Garden Conservancy. It's a great organization! Last year I visited 14 gardens and I sure put a lot of miles on my car. This year I have signed up for many as well. I'm so excited this year to finally got tickets for the Garden of Bunny Williams and the Garden of Page Dickey. Erin, thanks for your videos. Not only are they educational, but also very entertaining!

[@courtneysediblegarden518]

I see all your videos because I subscribe and when I go to watch videos on KZbin I click on the “subscriptions” section which actually still shows you all the videos posted each day by the channels you subscribe to. I think some people don’t know the difference between the subscriptions section and the regular home section.

[@aalejardin]

Congrats on over-wintering the banana! What a magnificent plant.

[@Cnature2]

Love your channel, Erin! Wouldn't want to miss any of your posts because of a KZbin algorithm. Thanks for all that you share!

[@mdwalker3034]

Not sure when I started following you (2020/Covid?), however you are one of the most informative and “real” gardening channels I follow religiously. You provide valuable information & inspiration to so many gardeners, especially to us on a budget. Keep doing what you do!

[@heatherw.2751]

I just love these videos! Feels like old friends chit chatting in the gardens together. Have a great day everyone!

[@pamelafrydman4429]

I love my new Sneeboer trowel. Bought from the Garden Tool Company. Great, friendly service. And a garden knife from A.M. Leonard. I learned about both on your channel. They bring a greater fluidity and ease into my gardening almost daily. Who knew? Thank you 😊

[@JJ-fm3hr]

"Rough and Tumble Gardening" perfect name!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@tarawatterson4188]

Signed up for all notifications on this channel. Erin you and your garden are a rare delight.

[@suedalebout7582]

Thank you for keeping it real !!! I feel like a normal gardener!!!

[@sarahlovesdonuts9601]

Erin, I just have to say that I love your style! Be it in the garden, around your home, and of course your wardrobe. Your hair is always perfect, and you can easily skip from a garden bed to the deck of a boat. What we wear only works if it suits our life and personality. I wish that I could be cute everyday, but I have dirt under my nails, so khaki shorts and a button down it is. Love ya!🌸💗🌸

[@HowsItGrowing]

Great video Erin! Always love to see what you’re doing! 💜

[@cherylheard1969]

Didn’t get a postcard but when we went to Longwood gardens this month for my birthday I realized that Chanticleer was nearby! We went because You said it was so inspirational and boy were you right! Didn’t even get to see everything but even my friend who grudgingly went was inspired! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@lindis2660]

Thank you. Garden realist/Garden comedian. You capture both. It’s appreciated.

[@evanorvell8368]

I LOVE your tree border! I'd love to be able to do that! I've been watching your videos for 6 or 7 years and you inspire me to have a real flower garden where I can plant what I want. (You inspired me to plant dahlias years ago, and I loved them.) Thank you!

[@SteveL2012]

Love everything about your channel. The post cards are a great touch-inspiring me to get out and see public spaces!

[@samcarpenter4347]

My parents used to scour the woods for fiddleheads every spring. They used to eat them with butter & drizzled apple cider vinegar onto them.

[@wagnerab1958]

I love your channel, you, Northlawn Flower Farm and Flower Hill Farm are my absolute favourites. I've learned so much from all of you. Thank you for keeping it real!

[@jamesandsusanshortill8713]

It's expensive, but ohhhhh, that fork is GORGEOUS

[@megjarvi5666]

I like your videos because you’re so authentic and informative!

[@victoria-louisevalois1323]

I enjoy your videos. I especially like the fact that you tell the unvarnished truth about plants, your successes and failures, likes and dislikes. It's so refreshing. Thanks for all you do. You go girl!!

[@vickiek1804]

I love your videos. There are a handful of gardening channels I like, most of the time I don’t get notifications for new videos, but I will manually go and check, and your channel is one of them. ❤

[@iimoreno29]

Those ferns are unbelievable.

[@jenmcd2456]

Did she ever share what variety they are??

[@tammyhoushour8070]

We like you and we like real and we have garden's that are not perfect and it's honest work in process. I appreciate how you make us feel like friends and not visitors. 😉😎✌💖

[@lynettedaniels1236]

Wow! Paul is so neat when he spreads mulch. I always wish I could use an auger to plant when I see you use one. It can take me 45 minutes or longer to dig a hole for a small shrub because it’s so rocky here. What a lovely video!!!

[@theannateodorovic3767]

I am a super fan Erin. I really love your real and frank personality. I love to hear about what you like because you have similar taste as me. I’m in love with your Belgian fence and the cloud boxwoods in front of the garden! I’m trying to do the same!!

[@englishcottagelife8121]

it was such a long winter and cool spring in SW england. Yesterday, I had to wear a wool cap and jumper to be in the garden. Summer is behind here. Last year at this time we were suffering from living on the top floor in an overheated old stone home.

[@coricardinale7440]

Keep up the great videos and be so genuinely you! I am inspired to be me. You are awesome!

[@anncunningham2702]

Love the videos. Please keep posting and giving us great tips and information.

[@sivlow264]

I love Patagonia clothing. An environmental company that gives back. I have been a “Patagoniac” for 40 years!

[@lindaannb]

Thanks for explaining the roads and lots in your area. I thought it was probably something like you described but still had a hard time visualizing it. I always feel more grounded (no pun intended) if I understand the lay of the land. I love your shopping method because I do the exact same thing! 😅

[@mariemcgrath8681]

Love your personality also, & the garden, of course. So different from my semi tropical garden in Northern Australia.

[@marykennedy3351]

I literally just got done pulling all my bluebells out. I just can't take all that foliage. Same with my Alliums. I didn't get them planted deep enough and half were just lopsided bulbs and all sticking out.😂 I yanked the rest and trasplanted deep into a better spot. Hope they come back next year. I'm totally with you on the fashion police. Ppl probably think I never wash my clothes bc I buy 4+ of everything I love to wear. Same with my shoes.😂 I had no idea ferns could get that huge. Oh man if I only had a place for those gorgeous beauties. Thanks for sharing Erin and thanks for always keeping it real.🤗

[@jeffhingson159]

Watching this is so interesting to me, I'm also 5b and my Siberian Iris are in full bloom.

[@Ted99701]

I love the channel. Whatever videos get posted

[@tyeteames7192]

So enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@joycemoulis4392]

Love your channel...love the way you garden. You are a gardener's gardener! Feel like you are my garden buddy next door. Look forward to every new post! Happy gardening😊❤😊

[@susanrieske4258]

Like! "Comment"! Lol Thanks, Erin! I finally got brave enough to pull out my beloved bluebells with you. My garden looks so much better.

[@christinek1322]

This video made me laugh when you talked about your wardrobe. I always tell people I buy plants like some people buy shoes. I have no sense of style as far as clothes go but I have lots of beautiful plants! Love your videos and appreciate your not always perfect style and your ability to see the beauty in your garden even when it's not "complete."

[@dotmiller6382]

Love your videos, keep them coming 😊

[@brookemontes3816]

I watch you on rerun!!!!❤

[@jamesandsusanshortill8713]

Plus, that Banana IS NUTS 🤣

[@carolfield8803]

I am happy to hear you too chop off the allium foliage. It is not pretty at all. And yes as soon as my Virginia bluebells start falling over I pull them out and they still come back . I love your gardens and I love how real you are. Your videos are like listening to a good friend. Onward and buzz buzz

[@daiseegray9110]

I’m always excited when I see you or Ydoyougarden have a new video. I always watch 🌼🐝

[@marilynruggeberg]

I love your Videos. I have the Bell rung so I am notified when you post a video. I am so excited when I see that you have posted. Love the down to earth, real garden advice. And a Beautiful Garden.

[@klk12399]

Thank you for sharing your garden! Also love the postcards.

[@debbiedebc]

Thank you for talking about Sneeboer - I love their tools but have been having trouble getting them in the U.S. I will try the places you mentioned. Thank you for your vlogs - you keep it real!

[@reader649]

Always enjoy your videos Erin. Really like your informal style of talking to the camera (us) like today's video. Your garden and property is beautiful. Take care and hope things slow down a bit for you to take a well deserved breather😊

[@irma_brenton]

Wubbie.. warm hoodie 🥰

[@seedsaverdiane5636]

I’ve had Haas Halo for about four years. It is lovely it does flop too 😢. I support them with a decorative metal peony ring. That helps some

[@deborahpowell-rickard9090]

Enjoy your videos. A wealth of info, and you're fun to listen to.

[@tiaturpen6508]

Love gardening with you! ❤

[@jodigurley3098]

Thank you for taking the time to do your video's .i Look forward to watching them and think your channel is truly one of the best out there.😁😁❤❤❤❤

[@helenacathcart1698]

Hi Keep up the good work I enjoy watching you From a very sunny Ireland

[@zarsepehr3315]

That's why I do check my subscriptions every once in while to check on any videos I may have missed.

[@annwoleben5439]

Always informative! Thank you!

[@betsymaltby6788]

Hey Erin, your channel to me is more about quality & content than quantity. It sucks that the algorithms don't recognize that. And just as you don't have the time to post daily, we are gardeners too and don't have the time to watch repetitive content where we are sure to learn nothing new. I subscribe to you and others like you (Y Garden, North Lawn Flower Farm, Hortube, Flower Hill Farm, You Can't Eat the Grass) because I know I will always walk away learning something new that I can incorporate into my own small garden. Here's to keeping it real! Cheers!

[@jcpendleton992]

Erin, if KZbin doesn't feed your videos to me, I search for your channel and watch the newest videos. Good Luck and keep up the good work. ❤🌺🌼🌴

[@lorindachristine3291]

During my last visit, I noticed that Butchart Gardens also cuts off their allium leaves. You're in very good company! 😁

[@monicarutkovskis6945]

Wow your ferns are amazing. I grow them here in MA but they only get about 4 feet tall for me. Love your garden!

[@lorihanby6733]

Love your Q&As. So excited for you and your banana plant! It’s incredible! Those ferns are amazing too. When you stood next to them I couldn’t believe how tall they are! Do you think they’d ever survive in a zone 6 dry climate like Utah? Cousins eat fiddle heads in Maine, I didn’t realize they were the same as your huge ferns.

[@rosemownow]

Oh Gosh I love this unedited form!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@denisewax5396]

We will watch your videos whenever you can get them out😊 enjoy your life and hobbies and garden for how it suits you👍

[@jenniferolson7296]

As usual a great video of real gardening! Even love the unedited last few minutes so we heard you repeat but worth hearing a second time! 😂 You mentioned getting your garden ready for tours. Are these public tours or having friends over to see the garden tours? Nirvana would be seeing your garden “for real”! Thanks for tool recommendations. Always looking for new tried and true tools. 🥰 PS Appreciated the geography lesson so we know why you are not lake side!⛵️

[@altheab.8907]

Sad that YT messes around like that. I usually click on Impatient Gardener every few days if you don’t come up on the general screen. I have several channels I follow and I have to say that you are the most real. Your videos feel like you’re standing a few feet in front of me just talking to me as we walk through your gardens. It’s nice that you reply directly sometimes too….like with the Siberian iris suggestion. You give us a lot of helpful information…we like to help you too. That’s what gardeners do. 💖😊🦋🕊

[@cathyorth7457]

Hi Erin, I love your videos. I especially love your no nonsense down to earth gardening. You are very inspiring with not having to do everything so perfectly and yet your garden always looks so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!😊

[@juliebeirne4544]

Thanks for all your hard work!

[@Sycamore_Creek]

Hi Erin! I was wondering what kind of fern it is that you’ve shown in the video? They’re amazing!!!

[@terryrice2834]

I look forward to your videos. Down to earth and entertaining. Keep them coming!

[@folklover-405]

Love your channel, Erin, and your gardening style. Just an FYI, I have subscribed to your channel with the notification bell turned on. Each time you post a video, I get a message on my youtube home page, and since I have the youtube app on my phone, I get additional notifications there. The bell icon turned on may be the key for people to not miss anything. ps, Also love that you just posted the whole last bit unedited. Keeping it real. Go girl!

[@melissae.9842]

Love your content and have learned a lot over the years. You were the one who inspired me to winter sow poppies and it has been a huge success! Thanks, Erin.

[@dianegreiner4054]

Definitely enjoy the question and answer videos! Learn little tidbits I didn't know I needed along the way. Greetings from across the lake! 😊 🖐

[@agneslazarenko2653]

I'm jealous of the ferns❤

[@epidgegg]

Great post, Erin!

[@christinem7356]

Love your garden! I garden in north Texas and found your channel while helping my sister in southern Wisconsin with a little area in her backyard. Love your passion for natives and all the garden wisdom you have!

[@didisinclair3605]

Joining the throngs celebrating your wonderful channel. SO real, SO informative, casual, funny, all the good things!!! (and iced coffee is the BOMB!!!!). Thanks, Erin.

[@zoreslavazinczenko1060]

L-O-V-E your "working" Q & As!!! TOTALLY understand the multi-tasking with the sizable property you have as well as working full time. (I) don't mind at all !!! Always, always look forward to seeing more of your videos! (any more Wine & Weeds in the near future???). Quick question - any issues, advice on rodent pressure, ticks, and such? I'm hearing the ticks in my area (SW of Cleveland, OH) will be high this year because of our mild winter. Thanks for keeping it real !!!!!!!!!

[@tsquire33]

Here in northern MN (zone 3) admiring your beautiful spring garden! I love seeing real gardens, the weeds and the in-progress parts and the rest!

[@tracyehrenberg6074]

I love your rambling garden chores Q & A"s, so many excellent nuggets of info

[@emilywellington5007]

3:38 YES!!!! And sometimes I then do the unthinkable: leave my yard in chaos and go out to a garden center where I sometimes come home with more plants ?!? I’ve gotten better but still… too many plants grown from seed, divided, potted up, overwintered, otherwise propagated and my driveway is the plant equivalent of a crazy cat hoarding lady who thinks she’s a really benevolent animal caregiver and has no idea that PETA is on the way to my house😮

[@kathyszeremet7138]

Thank you for inspiring me! I’ve learned a lot from you. Happy Gardening 🌺

[@pconan1]

Totally love your videos ❤

[@ericbausman8195]

😍love your videos and your way of communicating.

[@dawndawn6946]

I learn something every time I watch one of your videos, Erin! Thank you! I’m off to search for Ostrich Ferns! You’re making me laugh with your repeating yourself. Makes me feel crazy!🤣 That doesn’t take much though. Say, “cut” or “take two”. 😜

[@privateperson5769]

Love u Erin 💚💚

[@sbarton291]

Erin I love your content and that you keep it real. I'm zone 5/6 as well, Northern ID, so we have similar plants. That being said, there must be plants that never cross the continental divide because I never see some of yours in the 3 nurseries I visit. On another note, I don't know how you're going to manipulate that banana tree to plant it. Be sure to film it as I'm sure it will be as entertaining as when you took it out of the pot. Thanks for all your videos!

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Every moment of that banana’s life needs to be documented, I thibk

[@suzanneb5229]

Erin, I love your videos and if they do not pop up for me in KZbin I search for you. I'm not far from you, just across the border in IL so I relate to your garden and conditions. I'm not near the water but a lot of your plants are common here also. Keep your videos coming no matter how often, we enjoy them and learn so much. 💚

[@PointofGardening]

Thank you Erin- I learn so much from your videos… even when you ramble :) planted my first ostrich fern this past weekend and I am hoping to get the same fantastic look

[@venusgarden959]

Fantastic amazing🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤
