When my mom passed away it was February in Ohio. I remembered mom telling me about a peony from my grandmother planted behind her shed. I had no choice, I dug ot out of ice and snow. I have it still today blooming every year

Greeting's from Ireland Twenty year's ago my wife's grandmother passed away and she left the cottage to my wife's brother. He wanted to use the tractor to bulldoze the backyard peony rose's included. But my wife's mother dug up the tuber's and gave one to my wife and her sister and kept one for herself. It was the first flower in our front garden which we bought around the same time. We planted it in autumn and it flowered the following summer. This peony is over seventy years old and bloom's every summer without fail.

Hi Danielle, you know, it's really nice to hear you paid twenty-five cents for a package of basil seeds! we would all love beautiful, lush gardens but it gets pricey to buy new plants and packages of seed every year. I love the fact that you buy what your budget allows and collect seed instead of having an instant garden, you have worked hard to achieve what you have done in your garden, I admire the way you have designed and planted your garden little by little and have experimented with what works best for you, You should be proud of yourself!!! I love the fact that you have your grandmothers peony now growing in your garden, this is what makes our gardens so special to us. I grow hydrangea because my grandmother did too! We are reminded of our loved ones in such a wonderful way. Thank you for taking your time to explain the steps of interplanting throughout the growing season, it is so helpful. You and Gracie make a great team! 😍

After my parents died, and before the house where I grew up was sold, I took peony and rhubarb plants from their gardens, and brought them home. And yes, it was like bringing the memory of my parents and my childhood home with me. (I’m almost 75.) My mother made strawberry rhubarb pie, and there were vases of peonies in the house. Here’s a question for you: What do you keep in your gardening tool belt? I noticed a large pocket… I carry my pruners in mine… Thank you for this video. An emotional one for me. I loved it. ❤

David Howard dahlia was the bloom that made me love orange in the garden too. It would just draw my eye and fill me with joy every time I saw it. Like you, prior to this, I was not a fan of orange. Now I am adding it more and more. I just put in what I call an Artists Garden and the color scheme is Purple and Orange. I also fill my garden with what I call Memory Plants and it just brings back fond memories of family members as I take my morning garden walks. You could put a plant with a comparable color of Saving Grace on the shadier side that does like it there so it can balance it out. Because if Saving Grace doesn't thrive over there it won't look right anyway. But you never know, it might work and SG won't mind the side with less sun.

I love the burgundy against the green of the dahlia foliage.l also love my single bedding dahlias. They are so giving & generally don't need staking, plus they self seed all over the place giving lots of different varieties & colours. Yes, the bees absolutely adore them. The main problem with them, though is keeping up with the deadheading.

Thanks Danielle, looks great. I always felt interplanting gave a more natural appearance, like in nature when more than one plant grows together. I'm so glad you were able to get that peony from your Grandmother's garden. One of my Grandma's loved flowers and we would enjoy them together too. I had a question about Feverfew. I have some seedlings started but saw in the Cool Flowers book that Lisa Ziegler said on the information page for feverfew that they repel all insects including beneficials and not to plant them by anything you want pollinated. I need to know where to put mine so would appreciate you comments on this. Will have various flowers and vegetable beds.

Quick thought on your shady side of your garden bed. You could tighten up that evergreen tree a bit and do like they do in Europe, take out a few select branches to let more light and airflow in. It would still be tall and keep the structure but just a few would make a big difference for that Saving Grace to get going. Worth a shot.

Hi Danielle, Permaculture principles are much better to work by as you said, fewer pests and problems. I did a course many years ago and still try to work with those ideas today. I love your calm, easy on the eyes colour combination of lemon, lilac and white. And the repeat planting is working so well. Your raised garden beds look easier to work around now you've allowed more space, in between. Jo😊 Im loving collarette dahlias more and more....i have a small, simple dahlia called "fancy pants".....and some anenome dahlias too. The dinnerplates are over-rated and look scruffy to me.

Thanks for all the interplanting experiments and ideas for experiments. This year I am attempting to interplant dahlias in my ranunculus beds. Then thinking being that the dahlias won’t start getting big until after the ranunculus have petered out. I’ve presprouted my dahlias a bit so they have some roots and sprouts so they are less likely to rot when the ranunculus get watered. I may not be able to save the corms if they rot from the dahlias being watered, but who knows.
