I may or may not have squealed when a new video notification popped up

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Meagan!! Yay! I'm so happy you were excited to see my video come up. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for your support, and hope your enjoying the holidays!

[@LynnLouisePS]

Could you please do a step by step video on how you make your edging lay so perfectly? Love your videos. I’ve had lots of inspiration from watching your videos.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there! Are you referring to the cobble stone? If so, there is a little bit of an update in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apTdimWVorqahac We've been compiling footage of the work we've done in that back garden area, I will have a video on that process at some point by the end of the year. Thank you so much for your kind words, and for watching my videos.

[@serenababy6358]

Wow! You have such beautiful garden beds and a beautiful property. My husband and I can only dream of having such a beautiful space like yours. I've been gardening since 2016 and each year my skills improve BUT it would take me decades to get my beds/space looking like yours! You have a real gift so thank you for sharing and giving me inspiration. Can't wait for more videos and info!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Serena! Welcome, and thank you so much for your kind words. It true that each year your skills improve. I've been gardening for 10 years in our garden now and we started from zero landscape as this was a new construction home at the time. You can see that in this video I made that I'll post at the end if this comment. But it takes many seasons to build gardens and its a lovely and rewarding process. Keep going 💚 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2G7noqAnKllgLM

I just discoverd your channel. Your garden is beautiful 🥰. It would be great if you did a tour where you name the evergreens that you have planted. I find it hard to choose the right variety, especially if planted close to the house

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Andra! Thank you so much, and welcome!! I am actually planning on filming a full evergreens tour in the coming weeks. Stay tuned, and Thank you so much for watching.

[@NinoandLo]

Love your garden Steph, I’ve gotta try those Gomphrena

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there Nino & Lo! Thank you so much. Its a great annual, the gomphrena. Do try it =)

[@amandasides5033]

I need to try lambs ear again. I had a hard time with it when I first planted it here in Missouri. I thought it was maybe humidity. We have very high humidity.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Amanda! Maybe the humidity, although our summers are pretty humid as well. Perhaps try a different location. Sometimes they need some moving around until they are happy. Thanks for watching.

[@rhondaschenk5727]

Thank you! Love your videos! They’re so informative.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Rhonda, thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoy them. Thanks for watching 😊

[@SharkSandwich451]

OK here's the deal with marigolds: I learned to sow these in the ground @7-years- old from my mother (who learned this from hers - Pennsylvania): after April 23 pick a spot that's going to get full sun, dig a little hole, sprinkle seeds into that hole then cover it, go about 8" to dig another hole, sprinkle, cover then completely ignore. This is the best way to sow marigolds.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you!! I think its always great, and less work to direct sow. Thanks for sharing.

[@seeta5409]

A beautiful video to demonstrate how each of the garden beds transitioned through the seasons. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to put this together, Greatly appreciate it. The foxgloves were gorgeous. What was the variety? Maybe I should start lupin from seeds this spring.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Seeta! Thank you, yes it did take alot of time, about 26 hours worth of editing. Thank you so much for your kind words and for acknowledging that. I enjoyed looking back at the gardens transition throughout the seasons. The foxgloves were Apricot beauty, however there were some purple ones in there also. So I do believe the seeds vary greatly if they are open pollinated. I ordered my Foxglove seeds from swallowtail seeds. If you start lupine this year, you may not see blooms until next year. Seems to be the case with most perrenials from seed. They grow foliage first year from seed, and second year we get blooms. Thanks for watching! 🌱

[@missmrice91]

Ahh so jealous of your lupine I have been trying to get those to grow for years!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hey there! I had to try several times before they finally took. What finally did it was winter sowing them. I believe they benefit from a season of cold (stratification) to grow best. The first year they were tiny plants with only foliage. Year 2 they took off. Dont give up! Also, they like poor soil with no fertilizing or amendments.

[@missmrice91]

Thank you. I will try them again

[@SharkSandwich451]

Everyone’s hydrangea suffered. I know I lost 3 lace caps and hopefully the ones I think will snap back this year will actually survive. Just waiting to dig them out (after the dogwoods are pruned). Lots of heat damage. Live and learn.

[@HookedandRooted]

Sorry to hear about your lace caps. It really was a challenging year of drought and heat in the garden. Thankfully its a new year. Thanks for watching.

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Steph, that was a fun and inspiring video! Your gardens looked beautiful throughout the year! Have you ever tried germinating the seeds produced from your hardy hibiscus or Japanese, or Siberian Iris? I saved seeds from my dark foliage hibiscus and Japanese Iris and was able to germinate them using the winter sowing method. If you decide to try this, patience is required because both took a long time to germinate. I didn't see any growth until the first part of June (when I was about to pitch those water jugs)! For my 2023 flower beds, I will experiment with growing seeds I saved from lantana, gomphrena, alliums, echinacea, and Japanese maples. Have a wonderful week! ~Margie🤗💚❄☃

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Margie!! I haven't tried growing those varieties from seed, however, this year when I was cutting back my hardy hibiscus, I stopped and took notice of how large the seed pods were and the thought crossed my mind. But in all honesty I don't have a spot for a new hibiscus at the moment. I would have been happy to pass along the seeds though. I have never tried lantana from seed, but that one is a pretty one and a polinator magnet! And well the gomphrena, you know how i feel about that one, all the heart eyes!! I have a japanese maple seedling that grew from a seed dropped from one of the surrounding maples, so those do work. I'm just not sure how true to parent varieties they will be. I'm sure a pretty tree/sapling none the less. Thank you so much for watching and for your great comments! Happy Holidays!!

[@pamd1861]

Steph your gardens look amazing at every point in the year!! Thanks for sharing 😊I want to try and order the Iris what is the name again?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Pam, Thank you so much! The one I believe you asked me about is "concertina"

[@monicamacauley3750]

Great video Steph! My lambs ear here in SoCal 9b is going bananas this Fall.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Monica! It really does grow FAST! I'm so happy to see how it rebounded and grew so fast after Dividing it. I can't wait to divide it again in Spring and spread it around. So fun that yours is also going Bananas! It's a great plant to have that happen too 💚

[@jessicaziemba3740]

I’m liking your videos! I just stumbled across it one day… at the 8 minute mark you mention you bought materials to tackle drainage in the garden bed… can you share? I’m having the same issue and don’t want to lose anymore!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Jessica! Thank you. We have the materials bought. Unfortunately we ran out of time and energy this season. We will be tackling this first thing this spring once ground is thawed. I've lost so many beautiful daffodil bulbs so its a huge priority for me. I will document the process, and share. Thank you, Stephanie

[@SnappyR]

I have the winter chill already and it will stay until Spring - this video reminds me of what to look forward to with your flashbacks♥ That purple gomphrena this year was stunning!!! I love your new River Birch and I'm looking forward to your project to help the drainage in the one bed - I have an area like this as well - so far I've just planted some shrubs that like wet areas....Thanks for another great tour 🙂

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Robyn! Thank you so much 🥰 I'm with you, I'm also already so cold 🥶 Spring will be very welcome! I hope to share that project about the drainage as soon as the soil can be dug up/worked in Spring. Thank goodness for water loving shrubs for these areas of ours. As always, thanks for watching. Happy Holidays!!

[@hylandgundy2698]

Loved the seasonal comparisons & how you've developed your property. Thanks for sharing.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much! One of the things I love about having these videos of my yard/gardens, is that it allows me to make these comparisons. Its hard to remember how far things have come sometimes. Thanks for watching!

[@emmaapplegate1970]

Beautiful choice of plants! Were the foxgloves in full sun?

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you so much Emma! Yes my foxgloves were in full sun from about noon until sundown. So full afternoon sun. They are said to do ok in part shade, but the ones I've had in sun have always outperformed the ones in part shade .

[@emmaapplegate1970]

@@HookedandRooted Great, thank you!

[@jolielutrario6930]

So thrilled to watch a new video, Steph! Always look forward to it. Watching you and your husband plant the river birch is making me want to do the same. I have a slightly wet area that can use a beautiful specimen. Also, your gomphrena's were stunning this year and so I ordered the seeds from Baker Creek Seeds. Cannot wait to see the blooms in my 2023 garden. Thank you.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Jolie!! Thank you so much!! 🥰 so far we're loving the heritage river birch. They are beautiful trees and I think would make a lovely addition to any garden. Wet soil areas are tough, so hopefully this turns out to be a good solution long term. Oh yay for the gomphrena, it's gorgeous! Thanks for watching, and happy holidays!!!

[@urchinsushi2041]

Hi Steph - great winter tour and recap!! I love the idea of the Japanese maple garden - I have started collecting them myself - 1 seiryu, 2 emporer 1s, 2 coral barks, and 1 crimson queen - but I caught the JM bug during covid and need more!! What is the Japanese maple in the opening shot of this video? I love the yellow and the shape of the leaf!

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there!! Oh those are gorgeous! I would love to add an Emperor one. The one in the opening shot is an autumn moon. It's beautiful 😍 look it up. We also have a Moonrise that is similar. Large leaves and beautiful color 🍁

[@amyhoff1501]

Still don’t have lambs ear in my Garden, I’m running out of space 😢.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Amy, You could always replace it for something that you no longer enjoy, or that doesn't do too well in your garden. If I have a plant that I no longer enjoy, I try to pass it along to another gardener who may enjoy it more. Then it makes more room for plants that better fit my taste, or garden conditions.

[@TheGardeningMe]

Loved the look back at your garden over the past year! The gomphrena was amazing....I'm hoping that next year, third times the charm for me 🙃

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Margaret, Its so fun to look back and see how things have changed. Fingers crossed for successful gompherena! Soak them overnight before planting if you hadn't done that last time. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for sharing your gardens. I hope to add lamb's ear to my gardens next spring as well as create a new garden bed. I will be checking Facebook Marketplace for supplies, again thank you for the idea. I've purchased the trellises you listed and I must say, I am very happy with my purchase. Love your channel. 😊

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Catherine! This variety of lambs ear has been great so far, and no blooms, which means less chance of it spreading too much. Thanks fir watching! Happy Holidays!

[@dora59]

I’ve really enjoyed all the tours and have gotten many good ideas. One thing I’m going to do in spring of 2023 is start paying attention to rainfall early on to make sure my Bobos and everything is getting plenty of water from start of the growing season. This year Southcoast was in mild drought by April. I think my plants didn’t get as much water as they needed early on they just could never make it up. Anyway thanks for all the good ideas. Happy Holidays

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Dora, absolutely I agree. Same here with starting to monitor water in my hydrangeas early on. And even going forward being sure to check plant water requirements. Thank you for your kind words, and for enjoying my videos. I'm glad to have you along! Happy holidays!!
