Nice plant selection! Have you ever considered a stepping stone path in your front garden? Great way to divide the space.

There is never a final plant purchase. They bring such joy.❤️

I was struck by how happy you looked in the thumbnail. You've worked hard last fall and this spring summer and your garden looks gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Your yard is already beautiful!! You’ve done a lot!! Love how you mix your beds with trees, bushes, evergreens, and perennials flowers!! I live in northern Indiana and have been gardening 30 to 40 years and you have taught me to mix my borders with all the above. Thank you!!🩷🩷

Thank you Matthew. You’ve done a tremendous amount of work creating new gardens and it’s bringing your property to life ! Everything looks great well almost everything looks great we all have our trials and errors plus one NEVER knows what has happened in an area on our property previously . The soil could have been previously “ damaged “ somehow especially in a new construction area or in my case previous owners could have buried something, back in the day they buried trash which I’ve been finding . I live on an old property and as I dig I find broken bottles and random parts from old farm equipment. Sometimes kinda fun to see what was buried and not so much fun when I cut myself on glass. Thank you again and enjoy yourself when you come to my stomping grounds ! 🌺💚🙃

I've been watching you for awhile and when you mentioned Burns garden center and Grandma's garden and Natorps I was so excited because I never realized that you must live so close to me. I also shop at these places. They are incredible places to get plants. I must recommend Allison's gardens. She has the most beautiful plants and her green house always have the best discounted plants. The down fall to this is, she closes and reopens for a short time in the fall.

Never final plants! I am trying to pay off some bills and so hard not to buy plants! I said that I will not and everytime I start shopping I take them out! Soooo hard! But as soon as I am done, will shop for plants!:))

Oh that echinacea ♥️ I love them all ♥️ I added a bunch.. about 2 dozen to my garden this year.. white swan and paradise mix.. from seed 😊 I have a dew that are forgoing to give me a small bloom but I’m patient and am thrilled with their growth this year! Last plant for the season? Hmmm.. maybe that should be a challenge 😊😂 I am intentionally avoiding nurseries and garden centers. I have a dozen or so plants from spring/early summer that I still haven’t planted. Geums .. have you seen them before? They are gorgeous plants. Your gardens look amazing.. it’s crazy to think you’ve done this all in an about a year!

I was lucky enough to visit the Proven Winners test shrub garden this summer. Stunning! I was so impressed I have been reworking my garden with PW shrubs! I’m quite fortunate to live in Grand Haven near both Spring Meadows and Walters Garden, their products are available at local nurseries 🌼🐝

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to fast forward several years to see what our gardens will look like in the future? I know I sure would like to see mine more mature, everything in my garden is small and right now it looks messy to me but I know things will look much differently in the future when everything matures. 🌺💚🙃

Hi Matthew! Your gardens are so beautiful They've done so well this year. It's too bad the marguerite daisies aren't doing well. They were very pretty earlier. Your shrub bay has some really pretty plants in it. I'm looking forward to seeing where you plant everything, and to any more plants you add. It will be fun seeing what you do with the swing set area. Thank you so much for sharing!

With all you’ve done so far this season, I have to smile when I look at your shrub nursery. It seems to keep growing and growing! Seriously, I admire and am just a bit jealous of your energy and enthusiasm. Your gardens become more and more beautiful each time you post a new video. Enjoy Michigan and don’t break the bank!

What if you do a veneer of wood to stain and apply over the existing beams? Then you wouldn’t have to strip them. You could stain the veneer before you put them up. The kitchen has turned out so beautiful!! 😊

❤Sales are starting at Lowe’s for perennial plants since they’re getting in mums now. I need to split some herbs to move them around hoping to plant hydrangeas by them to trick the deer so they won’t make a snack out of the hydrangeas 😂. Honest, it’s all oregano, sage and cat nip.

I have those same yellow Marguerite Daises this year….they were stunners from May through end of July then did the same as yours…just stopped flowering and turned brown. I replaced in early August with Coleus and I’m glad I did

Hi Michael 👋 Everything looks pretty amazing. I love how the hydrangeas under the tree are flourishing! Loving your plant haul. Seems like every time I see your gardens they are even more beautiful. You have done a wonderful job in such a a short period of time. Thank you for sharing.

Just a thought but maybe aerate like a lawn to dry out and maybe even pour some sand in the holes for drainage or a berm

Love my tri color beech. But in direct sun it does tend to be a bi color beech. Prettier in dappled light i think for color. Love its early coloring in spring best. Look forward to seeing the scarlet fire dogwood bloom . Garden looks good. Enjoyed the video.

Our weather is VERY similar, I live in SW Michigan near Walters Gardens. I haven’t been outside to tend to my garden in several weeks due to the heat and humidity and I think that today is the day I can actually enjoy myself working in my new garden bed ! 🌺💚🙃

My heart may not be able to take how beautiful your yard will be next year. I mean, it’s beautiful now, but next year it is really going to be a showplace. Good choice on the Brackens Brown Beauty. I’ve done tons of research on magnolias and that one is just the best in all categories. Speaking of magnolias, I ordered 3 Stellar Ruby Magnoilias from home depot I am excited about. I think they’re a cross with Magnolia and banana bush? They’re rated as hardy down to zone 7 but I watched a video Jim Putnam did with the inventor who said his had done fine when the temps dipped below zero a few times in his zone 7 yard. In another video, Jim said he really thought they would be hardy in lower zones. Just thought you might be interested since you are brave that way. 😎

@TheSouthernersNorthernGarden 3 ай бұрын

That is pretty! Where did you end up getting it from?

@Debbie-ni8bc 2 ай бұрын

I had to double check - I got them online from Plants by Mail. They are located in Loxley, Alabama down near the gulf. Jim Putnam has done several videos on site there and it seems to be a huge nursery. I think they sell to other nurseries but also have the online store. I don’t know about all that for sure, but I do know I have been very pleased with the plants I’ve ordered from them.

Margerite daisies are more of a cool weather plant and don't do well in heat. So no an error in location or water.

@TheSouthernersNorthernGarden 3 ай бұрын

Not sure I believe that with this variety. They performed flawlessly a few months ago, which was our hottest time of year.

@nancykulp8545 3 ай бұрын

Matt, your garden is amazing, your hard work ethic is top notch! I live in SE Pennsylvania, and have planted verbena for the last 2 years, it's so pretty. But, I've noticed that when it's July and the hot, humid weather is upon us, it dies back, but afterwards, a few weeks later, it has a new flush and performs until frost. I do deadhead the spent blooms, too.

@barbaragrogan1112 3 ай бұрын

So glad you’re keeping the swing set. Have you contemplated painting it? I think a coat of dark Rustoleum would truly elevate the area.

@TheSouthernersNorthernGarden 3 ай бұрын

I’ve considered it. I think it would use a ton of paint, but it may be worth it. I’m always concerned about flaking or other issues with spray paint on surfaces like that which would make it look worse in my opinion if that started.

@peggy-ann1961 3 ай бұрын

I agree Matthew. Although these surfaces can be painted for sure, weathering is always an issue after a couple years. Learned the hard way! 🇨🇦

I rarely plant annuals in the ground, mostly because I just don’t think about it. Your sunpatiens look beautiful, so I may try a planting like that next year. Lovely! (zone 6 central Indiana)

@LULC0759 3 ай бұрын

I’m so looking forward to Natorps fall hours. I’ve done online pickup 3 times since they closed. I have several Coneflowers and Blackberry Lilies (which are gorgeous tall for the back of beds) to get planted right now. I’m interested in the Polargreen Elephant ear. I hope I can find it next year.

I ordered these online from Jung Seed in the winter and they shipped in Spring for me. It's the only thing I've ever ordered from them and they came in very healthy.

I like your opinions on the annuals. I'm giving up on ones that don't perform well and seeing ones that did well for you helps me out. Where did you find bidens? I haven't seen any locally and would like to try next year. Everything's looking beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Stockslager's carries two varieties I believe - Campfire Marshmallow and Campfire Flame. I only purchased Marshmallow this year, but I'm getting both next year with how well these performed.

Do you plant your pines and evergreens high? My clay soil holds so much water, I'm worried about the evergreen shrubs I planted in late June.

Is the Brown's Nursery that you're talking about the one that's north of Phillipsburg? I picked up my final Natorp's order last Friday. I was going to go to Natorp's on the 29th, but I don't trust myself to not make impulse buys.

It’s by a brand called Sunday Afternoons. I was looking for the best hats a month ago for sun protection and found them. Absolutely love them. So many neat “features” for hats and so many options and colors.
