Hello from Portsmouth, Virginia! We are new to native gardening and just found your channel! Your garden is lovely! Looking forward to watching more! When our plants are new, especially trees and shrubs, we use a bucket system…take a plastic bucket and use a nail or drill bit to place a small hole close to the bottom. Place the bucket next to your plant, fill with water, and adjust water trickle to desired location. This works great to water your plants deeply without runoff! Water your new shrubs often when first transplanted! This has worked great for us and hope it will help you as well! Can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos! Thank you so much!💕

[@TheSuburbanGardenista]

Thank you so much, Claudia!! That is quite the compliment coming from such a fabulous gardener yourself! Not to worry, I have lots to share! 💚

[@thegardenfix]

your garden looks fantastic! Great job! 🙂

[@TheSuburbanGardenista]

Thank you! I appreciate that! I can't wait to see what it looks like in a few years - so many of my native plants are just wee and getting started - it'll be nice to see them "all grown up" in a few year's time! Thanks for watching and for the kind comment! 💚

You had me at the start with the Lupins!!

[@TheSuburbanGardenista]

Aren't they just gorgeous?? I wish they could rebloom for me all summer long! Thanks for watching 💚

[@ninetypercentnative]

The gardens are looking fabulous! I think I need to try lupines next year!!! Yours look so good!

[@TheSuburbanGardenista]

Thank you so much! I can't wait for a few years when things are much more established! Definitely get some wild lupines - they are the fantastic 💜💜💜

My favorite native plant is Robins Plantain. It's a native aster. It's an amazing plant, it grows in sun or shade and it sometimes only grows a few inches tall before it flowers and other times it grows 2 or 3 ft. tall and then flowers. I also have anise hyssop, from one plant it has self seeded and I have 9 plants at last count and it's just starting to flower. Also this year from out of nowhere native yarrow has appeared I don't know where it came from since I don't see any in my neighborhood. Although my garden will never be all natives, I've gotten rid of all the invasives. By the way, I love your garden hope you're having good weather we're having a good balance of rain and nice days so my garden is looking pretty good this year.

[@TheSuburbanGardenista]

Thank you so much for sharing! I had never heard of Robins Plantain and had to look it up - it is lovely! Reminds me of smooth blue aster. Very pretty! Thank you for the recommendation - I'll definitely keep an eye out for it! That's exciting about your anise hyssop! I have seedlings that I fall sowed last year that I just planted in the garden - fingers crossed they do well and I have the same experience as you! I planted a whole bunch on my property, so I'll see what takes (fingers crossed for them all!). I have yet to grow yarrow, but I hear lots of people recommending it - I'm going to have to get my hands on some of that too! Is there a thing of having too many natives?!?! The weather has been a nice mix of sunny and rain, which is a wonderful change from last year's dry dry dry summer! So glad to hear that your gardens are enjoying this mix this year as well! 💚

Hello there! Thank you for sharing your channel with me the other day. Making my way through these videos and this is exactly what I was looking for! Just a question about your fall sowing: did you sow them right in those pots? Or did you do the typical winter sowing method with the covered containers etc.? I recently got two long totes (for under a bed but without the wheels) that I am going to put holes into and then try to zip/clamp one on top of the other so there is enough depth..but I have also been accumulating pots as well so I can more easily fiddle with the placement of things before I commit 😂. I also like the labels you use in your gardens. I might get some of those for next year. Right now I'm just using little 3" white labels I got from Amazon because they were cheap. I also got a sharpie that's for garden use but those labels are fading already and it's supposed to be UV resistant.. What gives, Sharpie?! 😂 Alright enough rambling for now. Thanks again! -Dawn

[@TheSuburbanGardenista]

Hi again! I actually fall sow my seeds right in the pots. I use pots that I don't mind if they crack, because they often do over the winter due to the development of ice. Definitely keep that in mind for anything that you're going to keep outside through the winter! I got the labels from Lee Valley and they're awesome. I also used a garden marker (also from Lee Valley), but not the sharpie brand and things look good so far! Sounds like you have some fun plans in the garden! So glad we've connected so I can learn more about your gardening adventures!

[@wrightselections]

@@TheSuburbanGardenista so you don't cover them with anything to keep the squirrels etc out of them? Hardware cloth seems to only come in giant rolls (or I'm not looking in the right place lol). I'm not "handy" so the easier the better!

[@TheSuburbanGardenista]

@@wrightselections I just leave them and they get stirred up a bit my the squirrels, but in general, it's worked very well!

[@wrightselections]

@@TheSuburbanGardenista well ok then! Thank you! ❤️

[@TheSuburbanGardenista]

@@wrightselections good luck! 💚
