The obelisk did there job perfectly. Looks great Kimberly. There’s always something under construction here too😂 more truck loads of mulch coming today & installing storm doors is our current projects 💐

Beautiful garden, ur hydrangeas look so healthy and full of blooms. I noticed that the Japanese beetles are all over my hydrangea blooms and munching on them. Few more weeks of headaches, then we will be free of them.

Definitely one of my favorite tour 😄 🌸🌸🌸

[@martinemaud3635]

Wow! So many gorgeous hydrangeas. I hope they continue to perform as you hope they will. I love your obelisks, Kimberley. Happy gardening from down under 😊

[@cynthiachronister4082]

Your garden is so Beautiful! Loved the pots on the fence too! It’s all so, so pretty! Tu for sharing, have a wonderful day!😊

Really lovely. Interesting the J beetles don't care for the red & orange Roses that much. Yesterday they moved to my Crape Myrtles. We had a good down pour this morning, I wish it would just quietly rain all day.

@@TheRoseGeek I have 2 tall 2 still pretty short, so the shorties I look after. To be honest, I never noticed before. I bought a beautiful pink bloomer cheap end of season last yr, put it in a huge container, so it's still manageable. The other shorty is about my height, 5' 5, also easy to hunt them down.

The garden looks very beautiful👍😊💜🌸

My fire lights did great and were a pretty pink when the week of over 100 hit then were brown from burn but after I cut off the burnt blooms new ones came.

[@TheRoseGeek]

Oh that is great feedback!

Totally enjoy this tour. You have mentioned that Aborescens hydrangea flower earlier than the paniculatas. I just want to ask if their foliage grow at the same rate and then they flower at different timing. Greetings from Melbourne.❤

[@shanelpaige2152]

Love the obelisk idea. I should have done this. My panicle hydrangea needs it but its in its second year here and the blooms hang so far down when it rains. Is it too late to add an obelisk to an existing hydrangea?

[@estrella1717]

In regards to the pink panicles browning, I’ve heard from several hydrangea experts that it can take a few years before they properly pink.

[@yougrowgail]

I have experienced this personally with hydrangeas and other flowers. Seeing them not following their true characteristics until they are well established plants, taking several years sometimes. For me hydrangeas have been the most obvious in this behavior. I almost always have new hydrangeas turn brown the first year.

[@melissawyatt8639]

I recently found your channel when I was searching how to get rid of Japanese beetles. Do you live on a lake or the ocean?

[@ambercurry709]

Your trees are burning too by the firelight so def. Is a water issue. Firefights need cool nights to turn pink so if you are in a humid climate they will stay more white.

I was listening to a radio program on the CBC quite some time ago and I had made a few notes.. I think it was Brian Minter of Minter Nurseries in B.C., Canada. He mentioned a product called Beetlegon for Japanese Beetles. I believe he said the active ingredient of this product is Bacillus thuringiensis galleriae. I assume that since this is a bacteria; this would be a natural product of sorts? He also mentioned that the nematodes Heterorhabditis bacteriophora & Steinernema carpocapsae will kill Japanese Beetle grubs in turf.( possibly found in products called Lawn Guardian or Grub Begone) I know that you prefer to avoid interventions & keep things natural, but I was curious if you had heard of these products. Not aware of toxicity of these intervention for pets, humans, helpful insects or the environment. I'm sure that your own interventions work quite well too.

[@scheduledrest4316]

@@TheRoseGeek Thank you for your reply. I haven't actually had to deal with Japanese Beetles so far. If I do, it's good to know something which is specifically for them and therefor less likely to harm beneficial insects.

For the love of god - you need ornamental grasses - so your garden does not look a static wax museum. Pennisetum Hameln and Carey rose and some Miscanthus like red chief and MUHLENBERGIA CAPILLARIS
