Home Garden Tour July 2024

[@soxchica8840]

I love that you are okay with planting red flowers in your gardens. I noticed a lot of people don't like planting red flowers in their gardens. I think red flowers look beautiful .

[@gardencrossings]

I LOVE the red in our circle garden.

[@darlas4019]

I'm not a huge fan of red, but I saw a photo of two bushes growing side by side one red and one purple... it was just magically beautiful and changed my mind... ive since bought 4 encore azaleas in purple and red 😂❤💜❤💜

Bee balm and Yarrow, are a staple of the Colorado garden here in the mountains. The neighborhood I live in does not allow fences and therefore the deer pretty much have access to anything they want. Ground cover time and Veronica have proven to be great characters in the garden scape. Russian sage although invasive becomes a very nice centerpiece or border plant. You have to pick a lot of suckers. Lavender does well in this dry climate, and the maiden grass doesn’t get touched nor does the pampas grass. Even Karl Forester has a place in the garden and we have a few. Potentilla grows wild at 10,000 feet in Colorado and it does fairly well in the garden. Salvia has been a good performer, although it looks better at the beginning of the bloom than at the end. The Ice plant are getting nibbled by the deer when it flowers, but we still try to incorporate it. Lots of sedum ground cover is also a good choice although the dragons blood does get chewed upon as well as another newer date variety that we purchased. It’s hit and miss we had to experiment. I had some annual red salvia hidden within my potted Hyssops and the deer ignored them, thinking they were the same thing and did not eat it. We will also do things like shelter a coreopsis within plants that the deer don’t like to eat so that it might get a chance to bloom. Sometimes the Shasta daisies don’t get touched and then one day we will go out and they will all be eaten clean. There are some drift roses that will bloom but they get picked st by the deer. The fresh shoots don’t last long. It has been so fun to finally get it looking like I wanted it to, for the street view. We get lots of compliments for our efforts but it is finally paying off big time. I extended our garden on the other side of the driveway all the way down to the house, connecting a work in progress bed around our lamp post to two connecting beds made the year before. There has been much trial and error. We can’t have butterfly bush or daylilies, or Jupiters beard, but we have a great balance now of strong Colorado perennial bloomers.

Thank you for telling us about your garden. It sounds beautiful!!

[@MrDuffy81]

@@gardencrossings oh thank you. Your garden was such an inspiration. I was drinking my coffee and watching your amazing plants before going out and working on filling in the holes in ours.

[@faithlapp543]

Hello! I really enjoyed following along and hearing all the helpful tips! What a beautiful yard!

[@gardencrossings]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MichaelRusso-k9j]

Hi Heidi: I enjoyed your tour so much! Your butterfly garden is beautiful and as you gave the tour liked your decorative painted posts very much & the colorful post below the bird feeder as well. I can see why your bubble-gum supertunias were a great seller! Everything in your garden is thriving so well and your strictness to get outdoors & water made me smile! We are always watering here and just bought a 100 ft. garden hose sp we can water in the backyard! Thank you for your tour! Happy Gardening!

[@gardencrossings]

Thanks for walking through our garden

[@MrDuffy81]

You are right. We had to wait until July for our garden to really be in full show. I was waiting all of June for the Agastache Hyssop to bloom and they never did and they are my favorite plant. I’ve been working on it for a few years now and it’s in Colorado so it’s a deer resistant perennial garden. Two of our scotch room are starting to re-bloom in the back and I wish they were out front with the rest of the gang.

Beautiful tour of your amazing home gardens. Do you perhaps list your plants anywhere, because I can’t write the ones I like and want fast enough…or the spelling of some of them! Thanks! From a NJ 7b gardener with knees that no longer can kneel. Lol

[@gardencrossings]

When i do the garden tours I mention so many plants that it would take hours of extra editing to list them all.

[@susiehiggins4525]

[@ScaredOfPlasticBags]

I fertilize my supertunias every single week! It's a must. I use the PW granules. Your garden is so beautiful. I hope you'll share agajn when the bobos are blooming.

[@gardencrossings]

Be sure to subscribe for updates!

[@janeenclark8728]

All that beauty! Looking great Heidi. I’d love to be your neighbor.❤❤❤

[@gardencrossings]

Awe... Thank you

[@MrDuffy81]

Your coneflower look great. I wonder if I’m not fertilizing enough. We have a few varieties that I feel could be giving a bigger show, but the moisture is quite an issue as we don’t start watering until a certain date and it is up to mother nature to keep things at the perfect wetness through the spring.

[@gardencrossings]

It very well could be that they are not getting enough water.

[@bettymcgrady4261]

Delightful!

[@gardencrossings]

Thank you.

[@febakoshy8888]

[@paulamaher1633]

Hello Heidi. Love all of your videos. I'm in central Iowa and my bee balm bloomed very early. How far should I cut it back?

[@gardencrossings]

You can trim it back by 1/3 or more if you would like. In the fall trim it to 3"

[@JFrank-n1c]

How did your Bobo’s fare after the hard pruning you performed in a previous video?

[@gardencrossings]

They are beautiful. You are seeing them in this video.

[@sharonhendrickson9115]

HI Heidi. You mentioned the alstroemeria is no longer available. I noticed you had them for sale in your garden center in June. Can you please tell me why they are no longer available?

[@gardencrossings]

It is the Inca Ice that is no longer available. We have several other varieties.
