Its Planting Day | Grasses, Lilac, Russian Sage, elderberry, Beardtongue | Gardenaddictz

[@GardenAddictz]

Hi friends. 3 things: 1, I have no water source on this side of the yard. I’ll show you all in a dedicated video how I plan to water with a rain barrel and a pump. Just like a regular drip irrigation but from a rain barrel instead. 2; since the recording ofthis video, I feel much better. 3; I know someone is going comment on how I look while in the garden. Now that my children are getting older, I have more free time to tend to myself. So yes, I love to look fabulous on and off camera ( do you follow me on Instagram?)…. 💞

[@TaraSwiger1]

1. I can’t wait to see how you’re gonna use a rain barrel - we’ve been hoping to figure it out! 3. I love how fabulous you look! It encouraged me to not hold off painting my nails just because it’s planting season!

[@GardenAddictz]

@@TaraSwiger1 sometimes I wear nitrile disposable gloves under my garden gloves to keep my nails clean. Especially if it’s freshly painted. Maybe try that and see how it work for you.

[@roslynholcomb]

My husband wants to experiment with rain barrels. I’ve been skeptical but it’ll be interesting to see how it works for you. You’re going to love that lilac. I had one at my last home and loved it so much. Unfortunately it doesn’t get cold enough here for one. They need cold weather to set bud.

[@thisisatrium]

Who says you can’t be a diva while in the garden. We should be gardening with 💎 on! And, I wear nitrile gloves also…keeps nails clean!

[@TaraSwiger1]

@@thisisatrium I have gloves but I always end up removing them! I gotta feel stuff with my fingertips 😂 Especially with seeds but maybe later in the season I’ll keep them on.

[@evelynnellis7903]

I really like where this beautiful space and the other beds are going. Can't wait!!!!

[@brixandblooms]

I just want to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel and it's in my weekly rotation of videos to watch. Since I'm caught up with all your videos I started watching since discovering your channel, I decided to go back and watch the earlier ones. I love to support and you're truly an inspiration! Thanks for great content!

[@diannenaworensky6698]

I love watching you work while I drink my morning coffee. You are a real asset to the plant community. Properly instructing us on how to plan a garden. Thanks !! P.S. I Love Your Hair !!

[@brandieshaw9484]

I love how you showed the way you work through design choices. I will plan out a whole bed on paper and then end up with something very different once I am out there with plants and a shovel, so it felt good to know I am not alone.

[@bluebirdhomestead]

I just subscribed! I can’t wait to see everything in bloom, it will beautiful 😍 We are in the process of establishing new landscaping beds all around our house so this gives me some great inspiration, thanks!

[@sabrinamyneni1455]

I should have my husband watch this video so he can see that I’m not the only one who debates and calculates and moves things around a bunch in the garden 😄

[@stephanieb.7992]

Same here! 😆 But I enjoy the process 😊

[@TheHeartfeltHoney]

I love the way you plan out your garden. And it's your daughter swinging in the back for me! Love it. Mom life at it's best😊

[@melissaallenmainegardener4574]

This is exciting! I once had a neighbor ask me why am I always moving plants around 😅 and i said it doesn't look right, and she said just leave it, they'll be fine and in my head I'm like I won't be though lol chasin the vision is part of the fun,

[@jeanniemesserschmidtz1954]

New subscriber… just beautiful….. love finding clearance items at the garden center. I love to “ rescue” plants and bring them back to a greater life! You have chosen a great variety. We love our lilac and Russian sage in our side secret garden. Such texture, such colours. The fragrance from both….amazing.I can’t wait to see your upcoming videos.

[@kmagslove3983]

I LOVE clearance plants!! I always joke Uncle Clearance is my favorite!! End of season deals are the best! I've filled my garden with beautiful things like Lavender, sage, roses and peonies for a handful of change.

[@peggyjk]

Just when we think the garden is perfect…….something grows to big, dies or just doesn’t perform…..that’s part of the fun of gardening! Never ending changes! Take your time, just enjoy!!!

[@bethanyjohnson1305]

I love how you took us through your entire thought process of where you are trying to place things. I would suggest a weeping spruce of some sort for winter intrest instead of the arb!

[@claudiaceleste777]

I’ve learned to not doubt your eye at all, love the way you style - your placement and colour blend is going to be beautiful

[@darlenelee7327]

I love your new planting area, the stones are a great addition to your beautiful garden room!🌻🥀🌳

[@PeaceLikeNoOther_DeidreParker]

You’re a gorgeous girl with a beautiful family! YES, take time for YOU! 😂 Your Daughter is your twin! So cute 🥰 I love your garden and can’t wait to see the finished product! ❤️

[@monicadickens5887]

When the lilac blooms you will LOVE THE SCENT! ✅

[@nikkistump3480]

I love seeing your precious daughter mimic what you were doing! She’s shoveling like mama. Thx for the great vid. God bless y’all

[@sammysworld5485]

I have a mid size lilac tree on the side of my house. It smells amazing each Spring when it comes alive. You will love it!

[@carolcarvalho4873]

Girl I just love you to death, you are the best darn self made gardener I've ever seen. Kudos girl.!! I don't know how you do it with a husband and 4 small kids although your husband is a gem. Your gardens are fabulous I love and enjoy them all, love your vision and if course gardening is a journey. I am an avid gardener as well. Feel better soon.🙏👍🌺

[@claudettemasters6835]

I love your videos...you are so enthusiastic and I love how real you are to your community. Beautiful yard

[@laurenpatterson9287]

Tickled to death with this channel!! I LOVE how you piddle and work in your garden…it’s a real feel for how it all goes. Thanks!! Just found you and I’m hooked.

[@aspiringviolinist5732]

You work so hard in your garden, and I love your thoughts on gardening! Feel better! Congratulations on the twins starting preschool!

[@abigailserna4617]

The part when you said you need to plant all your clearance stuff so you can get more 😂 That’s like me sneaking in plants so my husband doesn’t notice. You should get forsythia bushes. They have yellow flowers All over the stems. Also some icy blue color so that it’s not so many different green color all over.

[@lindaga820]

OH, you sneak in plants too !!!

[@GardenAddictz]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jacquelineguzman174]

I love how raw this is. Thank you for being 💯 it’s all going to look beautiful! I cannot wait! I also can’t wait to copy some of your recipes lol I will send you pics 😊😅

[@rita_fuko]

loving the plan especially the lilac - I mean I'm biased bc that's my favourite scent + flower but I just know it'll be magical-smelling from tha pathway. also love the frog

[@CottageGardensonForest]

The arborvitae will provide a green backdrop for all your purple blooming things to stand out against the green. If you have to move it later it will be fine. It’s gardening not planting and forget it. I find that gardening requires us to be flexible and move and prune things as they grow into their full size. I plant heavy so that I don’t have empty space to weed and it goes with my cottage garden look. I’m so excited to see everything come alive.

[@kathyberal5623]

14:28 Baby girl is back there taking notes. They act like they are not listening but you know good and well that they are soaking it up. Watching and learning you go through your thought process….priceless.

[@Veronica-je9qj]

You've accomplished so much in just a couple of seasons. Your garden has come along in beautiful ways. I hope for you that you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor and vision going forward in 2022. Of course, there is always something to do!

[@wandagarrett942]

I love that you move plants; my mom makes fun of me because I move my plants around😑….sometimes they just don’t grow into the space 🤷🏻‍♀️. Your garden is forming & growing beautifully!!

[@GardenAddictz]

Plants are just like furniture in a sense. We have to move them to find the sweet spot and where they shine 😌

[@truthofthematter9409]

Lilacs do have such a beautiful sweet smell to them!

[@grace2garden403]

Hello! I love the excitement. I am waay late, you commented on one of my videos 9 months ago (me and technology), But so glad I found you!! Where do you get all of those amazing seeds? I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Keep up the great work? That lilac is going to be beautiful.

[@daisygurl3601]

Your enthusiasm is infectious! It’s gonna look spectacular! So glad I found your channel. You never cease to inspire me! Blessings... daisy

[@elizabethsmolens2752]

OMG so reassuring that you are struggling with plant placement. I am going through the same thing. I agree with you, arborvitae should go in the back area near fence line.

[@sonitaalicea3877]

Feel better, I think your amazing, I'm a gardener just like you, I do the same things in my garden, I keep moving things around until I'm happy.

[@beatriceanderson9745]

Glad your feeling better? Take care of yourself, I love your garden!😊💖🌸

[@nikkiholton6318]

You always looked great to me !! We do what we can !! Love your videos ...can't wait to see your rain barrel

[@ericamartin368]

My girl said I’m not feeling well and still puts in work! Love it. Thank you for letting us see your process and I love that you give your self to be a flexible as you want! “If I don’t like it, I can always change it” that same lesson can be applied in so many areas of our life. 🥰

[@lindabaker4038]

Great job!! It's going to be soo beautiful. It's already beautiful! Your daughter is such a little doll. I bet she had tons of viewers waving back at her!! She looks at you with such love in her eyes!! Can't wait to see everything green up and bud out!! 💚💗🌷💚

[@jeanniehall1440]

Love the boomerang, I think you did a wonderful job .. us gardeners have been waiting a long time for winter to subside., this morning we're having snow ❄️ again in Michigan.. but at keast my Helebore are doing great .. Power on girlfriend..your doing super!!

[@msdee2905]

I can’t wait to see this garden area in full bloom. Thanks for sharing

[@michellehammitt9765]

Your videos got me back into my yard and garden. Loving your hair, you always are such an inspiration. Love your ideas for this new section in the yard.

[@lynettelewis5688]

'How you look while in your garden?' Honey, you are beautiful anyway, and most of us would have to put in WORK to catch up with you on your 'regular' day! You put in overtime so your garden can look beautiful- you're entitled to glam up and feel as beautiful as your garden. I'm no garden professional either, but I think the hydrangea standard would look good in a big terra cotta pot (or in-ground), surrounded by petunias or something, next to your sitting bench. The Arbor vitae should be replaced with a grouping of tator tot arbs or boxwoods, if you have them on hand, then underplant the rest of the area with the beautiful phlox and veronica for color and varied height interest. The grasses and elderberry are perfect and will provide great interest and sway beautifully in the wind. The frog and eventually some kind of sculpture would be pretty too. Whatever you decide will be gorgeous!

[@verawallace9055]

The grasses swaying in the wind brings me back to my childhood, it was a beautiful sight that stays with me forever

[@ruvimbonyakurimwa1281]

I'm loving everything especially that you have the sweetest little helper...blessed

I love to see your thoughtful process on the placement/removal of plants when you are planning your next steps in the garden! I can’t wait for the next phase and see it all come together. I feel your excitement coming through 🤩Love from NJ 💕

[@nedarahimian1086]

Your daughter is so cute participating with you! Good mama:)

[@marylisageorge8739]

The middle Bed evergreen will create peek-a-boo corners in your garden. I did something similar and it was the best decision I made in the design.

[@theacripps8099]

I love the direction this bed is taking! I’m in zone 7 too and will be particularly excited to see how the Lemony Lace Elderberry performs for you. Total side note I adore your Sailor Moon tee! Love your daughter hanging out and helping out too.

[@GardenerPhyl]

I really appreciate how you talked us through your thought process in developing this space. It encourages me to rethink what I want from my garden spaces. You are always gorgeous! 💜🌱🌺

[@arelettebreaux938]

That lilac is gorgeous! You are doing a great job! I hope you feel better. You are the clearance queen! Your beautiful daughter, looks just like you! Take care!

[@hillsideurbangarden1380]

How exciting! Love planting days😊🌻👩🏼‍🌾

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

It's coming along so beautifully! You are right...nothing is permanent in gardening. I think that's the beauty of it actually; but your arrangement is spot on!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@GardenAddictz]

Thank you 😊

[@janetn1925]

I love the idea you are going for of a secret garden. Love the plant choices too. You are working so hard!! Love watching your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@enriquet548]

Love the colors. The theme I'm getting is "Animals looking for places to hide." I think it's going to look very lush and green. I can see a few potted plants in the front mixed in too. Yes it's good to get those things planted so you can decide later if you want to keep them. Enjoy them for a while then take them out or trim them all the way down. Try some small ground rose bushes, they are very tough and you don't need to prune them too carefully just chop them with shears.

[@TheEnthusiasticGardener]

Loved seeing you sitting there considering what to do … could see your mind ticking over deciding. That’s real life gardening. And I just know it’s going to look fabulous, because everything else you do does. And yes, we’ll move everything to a different spot in a couple of years 😊 it’s all such good fun. Hope you feel better soon 😍

[@BeauteeInTheGarden]

I love it your new project is coming long beautifully I am amazed on how hard-working you are in your new space! I can’t wait to spring to see how beautiful those colors are going to highlight this area‼Happy Planting 🌺🌸 Plus, love the stone Border🥰

[@1lunarin]

love it all, i cant wait to see it one day with no clutter and junk or pots just beautiful beds !!!

[@richbishop7896]

Hi! It's Bonny zone 5b. Happy to see you planning for the future growth of plants. Many do not consider that. I grow the Bloomerang Lilac and it does get big. I've been following along as you have been doing your gardens. Great job! I've been working on my garden for over 30 years and still making changes.

[@promethea79]

I see ya with The Sailor Moon t-shirt! “By the power of the Moon 🌙 “ your garden is going to be AMAZING! Love from Georgetown Texas!🙌🏿 ❤️

[@GardenAddictz]

“I’ll punish you” HahahHa I grew watching it daily.

[@43grantct]

Okay this is what I go through when planting things. Sometimes I have a vision, plant and then change it up later. I am glad I am in good company! 😊 Final result will be your green thumb making whatever is in that space and look beautiful.

[@pamelacallaway3922]

You are such an inspiration! Get some rest! The bed is going to be amazing!

It’s going to be beautifully colourful and full of interest 💕 hope you feel better soon and take care xx

[@thatfameboy]

It's all coming together so amazingly. My boyfriend and I have been watching for over two years now (which we didn't realize until you mentioned your babies being born during the height of covid), and we're always entertained and inspired by all your hard work. On a side note.. we also were BLOWN away that we'd somehow missed your beautiful accent from a video or so ago. Absolutely beautiful and hope you aren't keeping it from the audience for any other reason than you WANT to. All the love and support from two loyal viewers from TN. ❤️

[@marymalady462]

It's going to look beautiful! Can't wait to see it in full bloom. Love your little helper too.❤

[@Kurt.2000]

I really like the rocks you have used, I am looking for something very similar but seeing your video has made me want it more!

[@KT-jy9oj]

I hear fire truck sirens in the background. City life. That garden you are creating will be a great escape and calming place for you to enjoy 😊

[@GardenAddictz]

HahahHa yes. If it’s not sirens, it’s the train passing through or a helicopter flying above

[@kinshowa17]

Your garden is so beautiful and I love watching how you're evolving it. A plant that might fill that arborvitae spot if you don't want to have to move it later on is a Himalayan Honeysuckle (leycesteria formosa). It is not an evergreen but tall w/in a year, very cool and easy-to-grow plant that bees love and is still interesting in winter with it's bamboo-like canes. It would echo the flowers from your 4 penstemon but with an unusual form. Another tall, complimentary option is Joe Pye Weed (eupatorium).

[@lm8006]

I had to smile when you said that was “ALL” you got done, like it wasn’t enough…the planning, purchasing, planning again all counts, not just the final dig & plant (and I use “final” loosely). I actually think that last planning step is the hardest part! Testing what’s in our head against what is in front of us is hard…how the mix progresses through a season, never mind many seasons. At some point, you have the epiphany & you jump. It’s going to look great 👍 p.s. you reignited some of my past thoughts on adding a bloomerang & lemony lace…my current thinking:where to jam them in 🤔

[@GardenAddictz]

There is always space for more plants lol

[@bettystone8128]

Love everything you did, love your choices of plants. And the rocks around the beds look great. Nice your husband was able to help with bed. Hard work, but it will be worth it all. Much love friend.

[@thisisatrium]

All I can say is “YES!!!!” every time I what your videos! I’m a newbie flower farm, but I’ve always gardened, and watching you reminds me not to forget my own personal areas when planting for market.

[@KraftyKaren-7]

I just started watching your videos, it was recommended for me to watch and im just amazed in your energy and vision foe your garden, you're inspiring me to do the same in my backyard. Mine is basically a blank slate. Your daughter is so helpful and her interest I see is growing and a little helper for you. Take care of yourself, hope your feeling better. Can't wait to see more of your gardening ventures to come. Blessing to you and your family,

[@Lupo-ie4cu]

Gorgeous hair do! Just like your new garden will be. 🌿💚🌿

[@heatheryarbrough5255]

I feel that a garden is ever evolving. What makes you happy and brings you joy this year may not necessarily bring you joy next year or it may fit better elsewhere in the garden. I love how you move things around based on what makes you happy. Thanks😃👍

I am so enjoying watching you do gardening, we got snow last night here in Indiana so I am stuck indoors :/ I cannot wait to see all your beautiful shrubs and perennial on their peek this summer, this is looking amazing!

[@GardeningwithTill]

I'm so happy to see that you now also have a lilac in your garden. I adore lilacs even though the varieties that I planted grow enormous. Your variety looks like it is on the smaller side, so perfect for the area. You might need to size control it, though. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do :)

[@therapywithisabel]

Your uncertainty has eased mine!! I just don't have an eye for design of any kind - I always need to outsource that one. It took ages, but I finally got a design that was comprehensive, named the plants, how many etc etc. Started what I could last fall - all good. Went to the yearly bare-root fruit tree SALE just to get some more berries. I left with an 3-tiiered pear espalier (already have 2, 2-tiered, cherry and apple. Don't ask why!?! But I went on a bender, the man asked before I even got started if I was interested in Bees. Of course!! Told him to ring me up at the end. Meanwhile, I selected two dwarf plums, one peach, and an apple I like. Since it was still cold out; my mind was all - Winter Interest, two more large bare-root dogwoods, three thorn-less blackberries (we already have 3 and I have no idea what I'm doing) and 2 raspberries! *I said NO to the blueberries after gifting the 4 I had last year as they weren't part of the DESIGN I PAYED for plus were work and not producing. Not one single of these fruit trees, berries, dogwoods are in the design!! I put a plum tree close to the apple espalier thinking I would have to move it the next day for symmetry. Now, they've all blossomed out and its too late to move! You're right! We can always move them. *Significantly more work without help, but hey ;) I'm feeling positive with the ability to change it if it doesn't work ;) THANK YOU!!!

[@carolynmangipudi9898]

Thank you for another video! Love your vision! I agree, with your thought, the lilac where the Arb was positioned. Maybe because it is because the Arb has color and nothing else does, so is unbalanced in my eyes. If you had 2 Arbs would be a different vision. Your garden will be beautiful no matter where you plant..excited for you! I am in Traverse city, Michigan zone 5b. We have snow. All snow had melted from the rain and then someone shook the snowglobe 🙄😫 on us. Just enough to cover the ground..Excited to see green and flowers on the internet. We will ok to plant around Mothers Day is our time. Free of freeze time
