May Back Garden Tour! :: Supertunias and Superbenas are Looking Amazing!

Welcome Gardeners! Join me today for my May Back Garden Tour! The garden is in its peak and everything is growing in nicely. One of the things I love most about these garden tours is it gives me the opportunity to think out loud about the progress of my garden. It really does help me decide where I’m going to go next so thank you all for giving me the opportunity to do that! 😆 Enjoy!

I can remember as a kid going across the road and pulling the honeysuckle flower and sucking the juice out!!

[@susanlowell4759]

slugs: crush egg shells to about a 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch size, make uninterrupted ring of the eggshells around the base of the plants. This works because the shells can cut the slug's outer skin.

[@pamelacarroll]

Janey! When you Grimm those sweet potato vines, pop the ends of the cuttings in soil or in a jar of water. If you put them in water, the very next day you will see that they have already pushed roots!!! Magical!

[@itsmewende]

Absolutely beautiful, love that pink cashmere. As wonderful as the garden tour was, the strawberry story of Stanley was tops 😊

[@sviatlanavolhina]

Hi, beautiful garden. Question for Q&A . Could you please share "exact recipe" what you did with your piones during winter months, how much ice you put , how often, how long. Thank you.

[@simplybloom]

So funny about your strawberry thief! You could make a garden cloche out of bird netting or chicken wire to go over the strawberries. Or you can just let him enjoy his treats 😂

[@melnelo3875]

So beautiful Janey. I would love to see how you get your plants to run up the trellises on your walls.

[@liliethshaw6782]

Most beautiful garden l have seen so far 😍 great 👍 job

[@ruth8268]

Incredible Janey! I remember when you planted the pots, the three white and then the 5 by your pergola. Wow!!

[@debrasmith33]

Same for me with the birds! I have switched over to sunflower seeds & little birds such as finches love it.

[@careneicke6785]

It is always good to be inspired by someone else’s work, looking forward to see your way to do Q & A video.

[@vickimiracle5077]

Thanks for sharing your garden. You sure have a beautiful home

[@Cynthia-zz1vi]

Beautiful place, really enjoyed, hope you get the few issues you have worked out, to my eyes it’s 100% amazing 😊

[@DanikaBasista]

Quick fyi, if you’re growing tomatoes like that where they’ve got lots of space, you don’t actually need to prune suckers-it’s more for close gardening and to help air flow and an easier way to support their plants that people prune suckers (you’ll actually get more fruit per plant if you leave more of the suckers) Love the backyard progression! Really interesting about the apricot color from a distance

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Ooh great tip Danika! Thank you!

[@sydneykasmar]

Youe backyard is beautiful Janey. I love seeing how all the new plants are doing and seeing the growth in those that have been around a bit. The Honeysuckle looks bigger than ever and so does the Bouganvilea. Also, your two new additions in the pond suit the space perfectly. I bet your daughters love them.

[@meganpalmieri8408]

Change the bird feed to sunflower hearts. I had the same problem and now the birds are happy and I'm happy. Love your channel!

[@raton_garden]

Hi. So amazing cultivation. Good share. Thanks for connect with

[@Doxie1914]

Beautiful everything.! Yes I agree on the Supertunia Persimmon…mine also growing aggressively like a vista. Your backyard is a quaint and comfy space, very nice.🌸

[@kittyrascherranger6062]

There is feed catchers that attach to the feeders that catch the extra feed that they drop. I just switched to only sunflower seed for my feeders. Also if u put a bunch of pavers together with containers on the pavers under the feeders the pavers could keep the seeds from seeding in the dirt and the small birds will clean up the feed. I have mind over jade containers and driveway and the birds do a great job cleaning the feed on the cement with any feed I give the birds

[@KadenceX]

So many beautiful flowers

[@marcy6951]

Designed Mind, Determination & Dedication = BEAUTIFUL Outcome.

[@kjones7966]

Great tour ! Loved it. Made me want to put on a pretty dress and hat and drink lemonade while I watched 😂 I hear the love and adoration of your flowers in your voice. I just planted a delphinium in my garden . Love it ❤ the blue is SO vibrant . Yes! Do a Q & A ... great idea. I will start my list of queastions 😂

[@doreengastringer2674]

We had the same problem with the bird seeds although now we only give them sunflower hearts and viola problem solved. Love love your videos!

[@jeannettejohnson2572]

Absolutely love the wall of supertunias ❤

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you Jeannette!!

[@jeane561]

Janey everything is just beautiful. My hubby and I were laughing about your dog eating your strawberries. We had a Basset Hound years ago that ate our blackberries😊 Your planters are all just gorgeous. Happy Memorial Day. Love and blessings🌸🌺🌼

[@sarahmalcom394]

Honeysuckle is invasive in my area, but I always love it when it's blooming! The air is so sweet smelling. We have acreage and a "wild"woods area by a creek on the east side of our property, the honeysuckle is all up in the woods and we just let it do it's thing. Your yard is just lovely, thanks for sharing!!

[@ShufflingYogi]

Everything looks beautiful ❤

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you 💗

[@KP-gw5zv]

Thank you for the tour. For me the apricot color blooms look really beautiful in the garden and I love it. The bouganvilia looks like it needs to get out of the pot and into the ground. I think it would do much better. Thank you once again for the tour. Loved.

[@denisewyatt1877]

I have Supertunia Persimmon, Royal Magenta and Vista Fuchsia and the Persimmon is quadrupole the size of the others and it’s beautiful!

[@jeannettejohnson2572]

The way you feel about the apricot color foxglove looking dead is how I feel about a lot of yellow gold foliage plants- they look dried and dead 😂!

[@colinmcknight9605]

The rear garden looks amazing. thanks for sharing it. I started watching your channel because I had seen a photo of the front of your house on another channel, and I was taken by your ivy espalier. I wanted to see how that was done. Ironically, since I've been watching, I have never seen you do any maintenance on the ivy. I'd love to see a video in the future about that iconic part of your garden.

[@Lealelan]

Soooo pretty. I'll def ask my nursery re: pink cashmere. I just received supervene sparkling rose. They are soooo beautiful. Much like Pink cashmere but with more defined markings. Love your garden! Thx for sharing!

[@ButterfliesNBirds]

Love that you planted native milkweed for monarch butterflies! If you ever have a chance to plant a stand of 5 - 6 plants, you will increase your chances a female monarch will lay eggs and you will have enough milkweed for hungry caterpillars. 😊 Good luck with your pollinator raised beds!

[@mindyd952]

Beautiful! I have found that hydrangeas want waaay more water than you would imagine-I'd double up on their water to keep them from scorching during the summer heat.

[@Mason-du7fm]

Hey Janey. Just need to say that you are an inspiration to us all! You have grown so much as a gardener and it is such a pleasure to watch you continue to grow between giving garden tours, speaking in front of large groups, live planting presentations, being part of “the garden tour” and now designing gardens for people…its just amazing to watch!!! Sending lots of love. Keep on growing!!! 💚🌸🌻🌿🌺. Oh and for the corner where your bench is…maybe adding layers with a few tall plants (fence height) in the back might bring it together and feel more cohesive with the rest of your beautiful garden. Maybe more cozy too. Enjoy your day Janey!

[@lorrainemcwhorter2796]

That’s funny with the dog! We are building a side garden with a gate to keep the dogs out because the first year I planted squash, our dogs were digging up the plants and eating the roots, 😂. They would be eating the blueberries and strawberries too. Also, the bougainvillea grows really well in the desert of AZ. They less water they get, the more massive the blooms are. You can probably do without any water on the bougainvillea at all. Maybe you can put trays under your pots to catch the water runoff. Your yard is so gorgeous❤❤❤ I really love how your shade corner is now💕

[@williamchampagne2684]

Beautiful

[@peggy-ann1961]

Just beautiful Janey! I enjoy both styles of filming...when you’re alone and when Jason helps you. I’ll be looking for that pink cashmere verbena next year for sure! Thanks! 👏🇨🇦

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks for the thoughtful comment Peggy-Ann! Maybe it’s good to mix it up 😊

[@tlcgarden2300]

Beautiful yard! I use only black-oiled sunflower seeds in my bird feeders and the little birds love them! So much better than the messy bird seed mixes. Also, consider a nyger feeder for the finches. 🐦M

[@wh4t0n34rth]

I interplanted an herb like oregano with a climbing rose and lettuce in a bucket (forgot what it is, sorry), and it acts exactly like that strawflower! But at least it protected my lettuce from cabbage worms🤷‍♂️. The idea of grapes growing on the pergula is 😍🤩. The vervains are amazing, especially Pink Cashmere!

[@lucidoluxurytravel9739]

You and I live in the same area and my garden is also doing extremely well this year. I honestly think our gardens are flourishing from all the rain they received this past winter 💕💕💕

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

100% yes!

[@nicolechew1029]

I wonder if you could use your q&a videos as time logged towards your volunteer hours for the Master Gardeners. You're helping the community by answering the questions, even if we don't live in YOUR community, we're your KZbin community 🤣 I think your whole KZbin channel should count, because of how much you inspire everyone!! For example, one inspiration I took from this video (one of many) is the flower wall! How amazing!

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Love it

[@salimorton641]

Love the pockets! Please share the link again! I have a idea for my fence. No privacy and at least this would work for some.

[@jessicajohns750]

Hi Janey! I'm sure you've already thought of it, but when you said you wanted more blue tones in this shade garden bed I thought of pincusion flowers. Might be worth trying in that space! Mine in 8b do so so well and I got them from Lowes. :)

[@dinac7361]

So beautiful Janet ,k I’ll love ig all !!I would love if you show or demonstrate how u espalier the vines in your fence that I love !!I have a pvc fence I’m wondering what to use to attach the wires to it

[@MarigoldsintheGarden]

Oh Wow Janey! All I can say is I your magnificent garden. It is filled with so many gorgeous plant varieties at different stages of maturity, making your garden very interesting and pleasing to to the eye. You have a knack of floral colour blending without ever becoming too rigid in your choice of colour, texture, shape and size of your plants. You have a wonderful imagination Janey that has lead you to compose an exquisite garden, and you are not afraid to give something a go! Having lots of differing plant varieties is a great idea. Not only does it make it interesting to walk around and view, but it is also environmentally friendly to native animals.🦉🦎Did you know that plant variety also makes your garden less appealing to pests and disease? They have trouble locating the plant that they want; yes, it is quite confusing for them. I am sure that the birds, butterflies, 🦋ladybirds 🐞and especially bees, 🐝all look forward to coming to your garden every day. 🌻🥀🌳They must feel safe as there are so many resting and hiding places for them. Oh yes, I love your cute dog, Stanley. We don't see him much anymore. I miss him, but love seeing your rabbits🐇

[@lisarokusek8107]

I only buy the black sun flower seeds because I was having the same problem. My small birds still eat it 😊 you should definitely try it ..

[@augyannafacey7616]

Love your videos ❤ Bougainvillea is a heavy feeder and using a balanced fertilizer 10-10-10 , or get the fertilizer that’s best for bougainvilleas. Bougainvilleas likes dry soil and therefore blooms better when kept on the dry side. I’m from the Caribbean 😊 happy growing 🌺🌸🪴🐝🧚🏽🥀🇯🇲

[@marciafischbeck7653]

Could you prop your strawberry pot up and out of Stanley's reach? Maybe on an upside down clay pot? Funny little sweet tooth!

[@linakhoury6623]

[@lorrainemcwhorter2796]

Oh, here is a good FYI…diatomaceous earth is also organic and fight slugs and fly larvae. You can sprinkle it everywhere that slugs are a problem and you might have some around since it is used in pool filters!

[@donnabraam2660]

The little birds will eat the sunflower seeds to. You might get sunflowers growing instead of grass, but they are easier to pull or let them grow and have pretty sunflower blooms. Your garden is so beautiful!

[@sherriheebner9479]

I agree…. I like it best when you hold the camera. It seems more one on one, a little more personal.❤

[@THrEeMuNkEes]

Just a thought, if you remove those pots beneath the bougainvillea and replace with maybe boulders and other size rocks, or maybe other dry/full sun plants like cactus etc you’d still have interest there, and not the water issues. And you can put the pots near the bench along the fence for some more interest. Also, with the foxglove, and you’ll find this the more you mature as a gardener, you need other colors to set that color off. So if you surrounded it with a lorapetalum and hakonechloa, or planted a smokebush behind the bench, they would really stand out. Think about the colors on a color wheel. ;) It is looking great, keep up the good work!

[@kenndrathompson8985]

Hi! Love your channel and enjoy these monthly tours so much! Helps me keep my expectations calibrated for how much growth I should see in my container garden.😊 What is the name of the small flower with purplish blooms that was potted in with the Texas Privet?

[@The_Bunny_Cakes]

I was having the same issues with our bird feeders. I switched to a bird feed labeled "no mess patio mix", it's meant not to sprout - i think it has peanuts and shelled sunflowers? We got it from a local nursery, I think they sell it at pet supply shops too. We've also noticed a lot of different birds since we switched.

[@tangerinefusion1]

Janie, what are the bluish lavender flowers in your topiary pot trio? Those really stand out and are so beautiful with the pots and topiaries! The garden looks gorgeous!

[@kathleengray7434]

Can you show how you attached your lights to your fence please. Everything looks amazing!

[@Gtumrths]

When you put the apricot foxglove closer to the dark fence it would pop too!

[@rhondafisher72]

The back corner is looking beautiful. I agree the orange flower has to go, definitely more blue and purple is the way to go. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

[@RedCoin91]

I agree. Blues and yellows maybe. I visted a castlegarden one day and saw a huge flowerbed with only deep bleu and bright yellow flowers, You could see them from so far away, it was mindblowing!

[@judybrown8233]

Yes,use the black oil sunflower seeds! Very rarely do they sprout, and then it’s a sunflower. Easy to pull if you want to. Try nyger seeds very small and they don’t sprout. My problem in So Cal is squirrels!!! They fly from the fence, then they are swinging from the feeder. Make me crazy! I love watching the birds. But between the squirrels and feral cats hunting the birds I’ve given up for now.

[@KC-re1de]

It would look really pretty if you put a single feature plant under each trellis opening (the same plant). If you had the same juniper evergreen centred under each trellis opening under the honeysuckles that would look amazing, instead of the trellis and other stuff. The repetition would look amazing, Just a thought!

[@debiegordon3787]

What a GORG😊 back yard 🌿 Once in a while I use my home made COMPOST to my over 25 yrs old Bougainvilleas and NEVER water bc they are in the ground and find there own! They're going nuts like urz!! Tell me,is that stone Chattahoochee??

[@amandasides5033]

I had the same thing and use suet feeders instead. Then just use the feed they want. Black seed.

[@jenniferhanfield2290]

Love your videos! If you were to transplant those apricot foxgloves next to something with purple/blue blossoms, it might highlight the oranges in the foxgloves. Good luck!

Hi Janey. I’m from Australia and just wanted to let you know how we pronounce Bougainvillea. We say bogan-vill-ee-a. So that’s another way to say it. Lol. Love your garden tours. It’s beautiful.

[@DS-rf7si]

Can't wait for that Cashmere Verbena to come out next year. In regard to the bird seed problem. You can get safflower seeds or I've read that you can microwave the seed and they won't sprout. I just can't remember how long to nuke it.

[@delphinenyirahabimanam.d.8510]

[@ButterfliesNBirds]

For the bird seed I would recommend getting seed only for the birds you want to attract. For instance, only safflower seed for cardinals and house finches. I don't use black sunflower seeds because birds need to crack the shell and then there is shell mess on the ground below the feeders. Sunflower kernels (already shelled) work nicely. I feed lots of birds and I wonder where you get your seed to have it sprout? Big box stores sell combination bird seed that has a lot of filler in it that is a waste. I'm not sure the type of birds you want to attract, but a local bird store like Wild Birds Unlimited can help. Good luck! 😊
