As always a wonderful nursery tour even with the rain everything is beautiful!

[@kathy5216]

Love to tour your momma’s gardens again

[@sharoncoon5439]

Good morning from Ohio! We’re expecting rain this afternoon! Always a good thing to have natures rain to water our plants and flowers! Have a wonderful weekend all!

[@sonyarogersmissmagic8587]

I'm waiting for my local greenhouse to do their cart sale. We get a two-tier cart and can put as many plants that they have out in their parking lot as we can on the cart without stacking for 55.00. Last year, I got so many proven winners' annuals. The back of my suv was packed full with the back seats folded down. Just really wish we could get some rain. You know it's bad when you have to water your sedum.

[@lindaga820]

Wow, that would be so much fun !!! I would definitely be there too !! Here in sw Pa. It's been the weirdest June I can remember. Cold nights earlier on had almost no rain. So hard on the farmers. Had to cancel their strawberry festivals. Hope you have a great day !

[@sonyarogersmissmagic8587]

@lindaga820 Yes, same here. We get up to the 90s and 80s, then drop down to the 50s and 60s at night, on top of the zero rain. I told my husband my plants don't know whether to grow or hibernate.

[@MeditationParadiseLand]

Absolutely beautiful flowers my friend have a nice day ❤️

[@carolhingle2664]

Jenny and Jerry...your nursery and home gardens are so lovely...I sure wish I lived closer...I am Gere in zone 9 Louisiana...your plants are so healthy...I love your enthusiasm...at 73 I am finding it to be more difficult to garden...started a new garden...after a move.. my husband recently had a stroke and watching your show & working in my own garden is my refuge...I love all plants ...I love the Japanese painted fern..not for my zone😔.so pretty as are all of your plants... 🙏

[@MyBackyardScience]

I just love that shade area amongst the trees! It looks so peaceful and beautiful! 🙂

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

It really is!

[@brendamorison8671]

Always love the episodes. I watch every day. Such inspiration! Charles St is a street in the French Quarter in New Orleans.

[@PaulaSwann501]

I have a large shade area and I love the Florida Sunshine. I went to my local Walmart and they were $25 each. I want at least 3. I decided to wait for now and then I go to the clearance section and guess what ….. 2 on sale for $7 each. I got both of them and an autumn embers and a bloom struck hydrangea for $10 each. Woo hoo. I brought them home cleaned them up and got them in the ground. They were all extremely wet and I think that was why the were looking kind of rough. I am so excited. I wish o was closer to Creekside but I am about 7 hours away from you.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Beautiful selection 🍃🌸🍃

[@tandy8388]

Chartres Street is in New Orleans and is pronounced Charter Street. Love those Coleuses!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thanks!

[@swankyclass8654]

This year I filled my troth with coleus’s because of the look of yours when you did it, I’m loving it so much. Thank you for always sharing. Always fun and informative 😊

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Wonderful!

[@RumduolAngkor]

Amazing garden you share I love it so much

I’m so happy to hear that!

Absolutely gorgeous surrounding!♥️♥️

[@melissamartin8208]

Ohio got rain this week. Yea!

[@Yvonne_ennovY]

The invincibelle sublime absolutely gives the most calming glow in person! I thought the pictures were amazing, but whoa. I regret only having room for 1. 💚 The green contrast between the foliage and the blooms is STUNNING, and the tiny pink (dot) center is the sweetest little detail. Love this hydrangea, thanks Jenny for showcasing this one!! 💮🌱

[@lindabenford7134]

I’m in Northern Illinois and no rain here 😅 love your tours.

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

So many beautiful plants in there that I'd like to add in my garden.

[@risalangdon9883]

OMG Jenny!! I so feel ya on the rain situation!!!!! Over here in 8b SC, and I swear, we had our average rainfall of 30 to 50 inches by the end of March!! Now we are working on the + portion of that average! lol. Everything is just swimming. My poor veggie plants need life preservers & floatation devices! I went out in the pouring rain the other day and dug some trenches trying to divert some of the water. It worked for a few hours, then it was back to the water not having anywhere else to go because the ground is just sooooo saturated. In the past 4 days, we've gotten EVERYONE'S share of rain! I think our neighbors are building an Ark.... I hope they let us in lol.

[@ledadill5923]

Today i have rose peonies with red geraniums and the other side pink geraniums with dark red mums in ca. Happy fall

[@billyjohnson230]

Jerry u winnin my boy 🙏🏾

[@emunahvillalpando4641]

Love coleus!!! Here in Lockhart Texas, mine have to be in the shade to part shade.

[@GrowingSouth]

Jenny thank you for introducing me to crested surf ferns in your porch planter video a while back! My autumn ferns in pots at the north entrance died in the arctic freeze this past December - they were very exposed unfortunately. I replaced them with these ferns this spring, and I could not be happier! They are absolutely gorgeous ferns down here in the deep south in deep shade and have been rapid growers as well! I highly recommend them!!!

[@hansonlegacyfarm]

Jenny, love your gardens! We are in Navarro County, Texas and received 75 mph winds on Wednesday evening. Unfortunately, very little rain.

[@christlyngrayson3850]

It is so relaxing to see the beautiful garden and to hear that unique tremble in your voice.Growing up their was a lady at church who sang with a tremble in her voice also.Every body loved to hear sing and no one else sang her song.I think Brinna is ready for her close up.Nothing like a stroll in the garden 😊

[@terresiagregg9326]

Jenny your plants are so pretty love them

[@judyrhine234]

We are so dry in Southern Missouri. I’m jealous but I hope you don’t get to much rain and start flooding

[@Realitytime2024]

There is a Chartres St in New Orleans.

[@brendaharbin6598]

Love it so much

[@alcg3981]

In France, Chartres is a city Southwest of Paris with a famous huge 13th century Gothic Cathedral. We pronounce it Sharh-truh, with that gutteral R 😮. As an American, a very tough word for me😂😊.

[@mercury_rising]

I know it as a street in New Orleans and the locals there always pronounced it “charters”. Obviously named after the city in France but Americanized over time no doubt. 😊

[@alcg3981]

@@mercury_rising Oh, of course ... and then different areas of the U.S. pronounce the same word differently! I'm Californian and went to Rochester, NY for a business trip way back in the mid-80s. A city there is Chili, so I pronounced it like Chili Beans. My NY colleague said it's pronounced "Shy Lie'' 😺😲. Sounds nicer for a town! Some ancestor along the line dropped 'e' at the end and added a couple consonants to our French origin last name. Same with the Dutch immigrants of our family.

[@KristiB73]

Who doesn't want to say I have a purple people eater 🤣😂🤣 Such beautiful plants 💙

You haven't toured your mom's garden in a long time. Are you considering a tour sometime soon?

[@tomcassidy3377]

Chartres Street is the main street in New Orleans French Quarter. It isn't said like the French, locals pronounce it "CHARTers" Street.

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you❣️

[@bohnnco]

I have a tonnnn of deer and they leave my coleus alone for the most part. YMMV with deer of course but coleus and caladiums are my shade color with deer. Torenia to a lesser extent. They will nibble in torenia in my yard but they recover.

[@ShadowNight-kt3dz]

This made me go out and shop for my shade garden today. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find many of these for my zone 9 garden in Louisiana. I did pick up some curcuma, gingers, aucuba, and bromeliads.

[@kathymatheny6336]

I gotta find time to get over there. Can’t find the Holy Grail or Coffee Cups here. Three hours one way is doable but tricky.

[@RealBradMiller]

Had a nightmare about Japanese beetles and woke up with a fright at two this morning. I'm in southern Phio now, amd dont know how bad they are up here. Still put out a trap with some JB oil, jic.

[@jodyeickhoff2237]

Another awesome tour of your shade loving plants. I would love to plant them all! Thanks for sharing them with me! Does Unique stone still carry the bashful little girl like you have in your shade garden by the house? Would love to have one!

[@bongabalos2648]

First here my dear friend. Enjoy and be safe still watching

Thank you so much 🤗

Any tips on how to keep the deer from eating hostas? I live in SC and they are devouring everything. Just moved here and trying to get some planting done.

Did I miss an update on the wheel barrow planter that you potted up at the entrance of the nursery?

[@juliknapp9270]

I have a terrible time with coleus snd mealy bugs. What do u use to keep them off ?

[@kimmkenney6809]

What about a koi pond in the circular area (Or do you not water that close to your house because of the kids)? You can have water plants and the sound of the bubbler from pump. Monrovia finally got on the GA bandwagon!

[@stonecottageadventures304]

Can we see a picture of your mama's shade pot that you told us about?

I wish you guys lived near by. I finally put a camera on the side of the house that has no windows. Its basically like your shade garden. Iv been studying the sun amount. It gets maybe close two hours morning sun and some mid day sun and dapple and one section gets full blast afternoon sun. Its basically not consistent. We our a corner unit in zone5b and that side is the street view. We really want to but up a fence using plants so ppl cant see us on our deck. Great development neighborhood but sometimes you don't want people waving at you when you enjoying the evening. Its been so hard to find shrubs that will like this weird spot. There are a lot of trees that have been trimmed 10ft-20ft up (To expensive to remove). We cant do firebush as its invasive here.
