OMG She is so cute. I love how she just ignores 99% of the zingers and just keeps focus on her mission. Keeper

[@catherineengle4196]

I absolutely love how excited you get talking about your flowers. I am the same way. I have a son who is a government contractor and he came home last weekend. I was so excited for him to see my little flower beds 😊. I used to have a house with 13 acres and tons of flower beds. I am just happy to have what little I have and my son was snapping pictures the whole time 😂. You put so much of yourself in your plants and it shows sweetie. God bless 😊

[@coleneritchie5625]

I love your husband’s sense of humor.

Your garden is beautiful. My lavender all died this year too. They were five years old !🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ only one out of seven came back. Your not alone .

[@patdelaney191]

Red flower is a potentilla. Your gardens are beautiful 👍

[@gwynethlaptop]

The red flower that looks like strawberry leaves could be a potentilla or a geum. Your garden looks fabulous. 😍

[@keengardens3987]

I would say Geum.

[@kaystinebrink1220]

Thanks for sharing your problems with your climbing rose. Sometimes garden programs are all about what is great about a garden and miss those plants that just don't work.

[@marilyngandy2299]

Love your gardens! I think the shade garden is my favorite. I remember when gypsy moths first came out, I would walk around and knock them into soapy water. Felt like hundreds of them. I have a Festiva Maxima that is 65-70 years old.

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

🌼🐝🌻I’m back for another update of your beautiful garden. It’s amazing to see the changes in your plants over time. I love watching my garden grow a little each day, that is my favorite part of gardening. It’s so fun to have the growth documented over the season to look back at and see your progress. I love that about being a garden KZbinr. Let’s learn & grow more together! 🐝👨‍🌾🌼🐇

Try Denim and Lace sage in place of lavender. works great in my 7b garden and gives you that beautiful purple color.

[@dangit9439]

[@nancyleeper3113]

Thanks for the tour! Your gardens, as always, are stunning! Gypsy moths are definitely brutal up here too!! Between them, the deer, the bunnies and chipmunks it truly is a battle! Ya…you can add weeds to that list also. I did have a couple of perennials that suffered from the winter..oh well…guess I’ll have to go shopping!

I have a peony doing that too .mines called Callies Memory is yours an ITO . Love your garden this morning I feel the cool damp atmosphere from the trees xxx

Oh I just love clematis! All of your gardens are so pretty. Thanks for the tour.

[@Dzakku]

Your peonies are incredible! Wish I had the space to grow so many!

[@MK-wm6gu]

Thank you for sharing so much! You made my Saturday, even though I watched your video in segments. I’ve worked in my own gardens all day, but every time my back started screaming, I’d take a break and watch part of your video. I absolutely love your peonies. I’ve never grown them, so I’m enjoying them vicariously through you. Your clematis is also beautiful. I really love the deep pink/ fuscia flowers on one of them. You are just amazing.

[@gardenvistas]

Thanks so much for the nice tour, just subscribed!

[@marysmith9361]

Your garden is gorgeous! We're 100 to 110 degrees here which I hate being a Yankee transplant because my flowers are looking sad even though I water every day.

[@coleneritchie5625]

I would definitely have to spray for those caterpillars. We had trees lose all of their foliage one summer.

[@athenathebunny]

I so enjoy your enthusiasm! I’d love to have a ground cover tour sometime!

[@vutsup1]

Beautiful Garden!

[@amyhoff1501]

I love 💕 all your different Clematis, so beautiful 😍, the peonies,too . My Peonies were done flowering fast this season because of our high temps last weekend here in Western Massachusetts ( Springfield area)

[@Hlegzudas]

Tree and shrub control against caterpillars. Mix with water and pour around the tree trunk.

[@laurahiggins4712]

Bummer about the caterpillars. I read the hairs and droppings can cause an allergic reaction in some people. Some people spray BT on the leaves and when the caterpillars eat them they die. They sure can do a lot of damage. Your gardens are beautiful!

[@thomasschrader8272]

We have been having less of a problem with Spongy Moths this year in Schenectady compared to last year. I am grateful.

[@saraw8503]

I have a festiva maxima, and yes! The smell! Dreamy! Mine bloomed a month ago…zone 8, coastal NC.

[@alw5101]

Great lesson on pinching.. a lot of people don’t know about this easy trick to take advantage of for Extra Blooms!👍✨🤍

[@williamtaylor2412]

PEONIES CAN LIVE FOR 50 YEARS OR MORE IF YOU'LL KEPT THE WEEDING AROUND THEM AND YOU ARE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB WITH YOUR GARDEN'S

[@Doxie1914]

Love your garden... I have my trees sprayed for Gypsy moths through a tree preservation company. It can be managed.

[@itsmewende]

Your house is going to smell like a garden, for pete's sake =^) You could replace your lavender with russian sage, that may do better in your zone. I inherited my mom's place, old gardens here, Peonies are at least 42 yrs old, still going strong. You guys have a wonderful weekend.!

[@janetn1925]

Loved the tour! I always learn so much and I love when I see the the same plants I have represented in your garden. I have Josephine Clematis and it's one of my favorites. We are also both in the northeast so it helps me compare. I'm sorry about your Lavender. So grateful mine were ok. We didn't have that ice that you did this past winter. What variety is that first Bee Balm you showed? Mine has powdery mildew already. It had it last year at the end of the season. I treated with Neem Oil and I will treat again but if it keeps coming back its history and I will try to find another variety with better mildew resistance. One other thing that helps me about your videos is how matter of fact you are about the insect issues. You have a great attitude. It helps me because I tend to get worked up about things. We have Browntail Moth here in Maine and they cause a horrible rash. I've lucked out so far this year and haven't seen any. Thanks for the tour!

[@lisac.9406]

I'm in NH and can't seem to grow lavender either. Looks beautiful all summer then just doesn't make it through the winter. I happened to see the phenomenal variety and am giving that a try after your suggestion. Did yours come back? Your gardens are AMAZING and you're such an inspiration. Thanks for the videos!

[@santahampton]

You have worked so hard on your beautiful floral and garden beds. Maybe it's time to spray them with something organic.

[@williamtaylor2412]

THE DEER LOVE HOSTAS

[@jessicabradshaw3365]

Yes they do along with smooth leaves hydrangeas!☹️

Lots of work to do but lucky that you not in Australia. Nothing like to grow =)

[@margievaughan2456]

So many beautiful gardens ,I love them ,hopefully the caterpillars don’t harm your beautiful shade garden that would b heart breaking

[@GuidingGreenThumbs]

I’m stressing for sure about that!

[@coleneritchie5625]

They were pretty invasive for me in Michigan. They even came up in my lawn, and I did like the lady’s mantle up until then. It was quite shady where it was so maybe that was part of the problem..

[@donnaswells3939]

At 45:22 I think it is salvia?? it fell over and you said you need to cut it back. How far will you cut it? I have same issue going on :( Your garden is coming along nicely.❤

[@truthofthematter9409]

All of my Coreopsis is laying down also. I'm about to throw them out! My Lavender is always a pain in the arse too. Sometimes I can keep them for a couple years but they seem to hate MO, zone 6b a lot! Botrytis fungus is likely what's on your Peony. It will blight your buds. "What makes a flower smell?" A flower's scent is created within the petals where essential oils are stored. When there is warm weather, the oils combine and evaporate, producing a unique scent for every flower to attract pollinators. Everything is looking so lush and beautiful. Hope those stinking caterpillar don't get to the plants.

[@GuidingGreenThumbs]

Thank you! I never really thought about where the scent comes from! So glad you spelled it out for me!! Love it! And I’m glad to know it’s not just me with these plants! I hate finicky plants… may have to choose something else. I’m kinda over them…

[@truthofthematter9409]

@@GuidingGreenThumbs Yeah me too. One mound had crown rot this year and the others are blooming their little heads off but so floppy and frankly, ugly.

I think that is your pugster. Mine came back like that.

[@SouthernYankee]

Gorgeous garden I love it!!! Question you mentioned strawberries are heavy feeders what do you feed them with??

[@juneelliott8655]

How come my new peony plants Did not bloom this spring? Brought them from nursery! In sun. Plants are still green. Virginia zone 7

[@Hlegzudas]

Maybe water with Tree and Shrub control from Bayer against the ash borer.

[@margaretnewett8960]

I'm watching your June your and your lavender was dying..Lavender is a Mediterranean plant. Hot and dry. You have it planted at the bottom of a sloped bed. It's getting all the rain water run off. I struggled with too. The only place I've had success is at the top of a blocked stone walled raised bed. Hope that helps.. just move it..it will come back.

[@jodiv2928]

i had a 20 year old peony that i tied to try and keep from flopping and it molded like yours.. cut it down and didnt have it for the rest of the year and being it wasnt fall I didnt know if it would die on me. it came back fine the next year

[@SouthernYankee]

My lavender never does well here in virginia it’s too wet for it and lavender likes to dry out in between watering and virginia spring kills a lot of it we just get so much rain.

[@GuidingGreenThumbs]

Didn’t even replace this year! I’m tired of the inconsistency. I’ll grow it as an annual if I ever decide to buy it again 🙃

[@robinblackshear2631]

BAYER SYSTEMATIC WORKED FOR ME.

[@jhadz7507]

Tried to watch…voice of the guy & his comments …wow no thx. Your plants look great. Good luck

[@karlaplatt5538]

The plant you were unsure of the name; with red little flowers, I think it kind of looks like a Geum. I have Geum Totally Tangerine and leaves look similar.

[@donnasmalley3713]

The pink is the rootstock below the graft blooming

[@anitabrown2022]

What do you use for snails etc on your Hostas to keep them from biting holes in them?

[@Mary7Jean]

Your garden seem so far ahead for early June. Blooming zinnias? Did you start indoors? I direct sow and it's too early for me to even pinch them yet. And strawberries already??! I'm a little north of you zone 6b

[@Mopoppy]

Love your hostas. Is it possible using a blower to clean them?

[@LindaDochod]

So I found this perhaps this is what it is? My peonies did this last year. I think there is something you can treat it with. Hopefully. Botrytis blight is the most common disease of garden peonies and is prevalent in damp, rainy seasons. Young shoots rot at ground level when they are 5 to 8 inches tall. Stems often have a water-soaked appearance. Leafy shoots wilt suddenly and topple.

[@amyhoff1501]

Your bee balm looks so contained, mine is all over the place , is yours a more bushy and contained plant ?

[@loriraymond8021]

I lost over half of my lavender this year. 8 plants total. I am in mid Michigan and we had a pretty mild winter. I am 😞

Hello front florida.🇺🇸👍👌👈

Question for ya - since you have “The Mother Load”of Hostas..... LoL I am having severe issues with bugs Eating holes in my Hostas!! I’ve used Captain Jack’s dusting powder on them and I have A (Beautiful!!) Golden Retriever and a few cats- so,would this product bother them kinda being around it? And what else can I do to prevent the wholes!!

[@alw5101]

Holes!

[@lovelight9164]

The Henri white clematis is a clematis that goes sideways on its own. Very pretty but needs to be planted deep.

[@Thehomeandgardenguru]

Looks like a belly button, hahaha. It's been a bad year for lavender, I had 5 plants die this year also.

[@josiemaves8828]

I have watched all your videos and I love your garden. How do you water your plants?

[@GuidingGreenThumbs]

I use a hose when I need to. Most of these gardens are established and need little watering. Only in periods of 3 weeks or more drought or with newly planted plants do I water. The vegetable garden gets watered by watering cans more often.

[@josiemaves8828]

@@GuidingGreenThumbs Thank you!

[@bvintage316]

Now that the house is stained are you going to do front beds or a walkway bed?

Maybe look at Botrytis blight as a possible affliction for your peony.

"keep talking with your hot air" ..."so our house is gonna smell like a funeral home all summer"... he asks her if she will put herself on an invasive species list... well I guess she ended up with this dude it's her choice... something is really wrong with this relationship right before 42:12 he says again that he is tired of HER buying the plants, so I'm guessing she doesn't work and make her own money and spends his money on things he doesn't like? What a weird relationship.
