Ohio Native Plant Gardening Like a Pro

[@jenniferormes5489]

I just found this video today 8/24/2023. Your parents are lovely. I hope that you and your parents doing well!

[@GardenGnome11]

Just came across your video today. 3/1/24. It was a pleasure to learn about your gardens. Ohio neighbor ❤

[@douglasstoll7520]

This is one of the best videos I have ever watched on KZbin. Thank you to you and your parents.

[@flowerluv-xh6kn3jl8l]

Beautiful landscape of flowers and beautiful vegetable garden, also.

[@lillpita]

Thank you for making and posting this. I am saving it because as a person in Ohio, I want to plant things that help the world here. I am going to reference this a lot as I start to plant in my yard. (nothing but grass in there now but soon, no grass.)

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

It's hard to find videos for our area! I'm trying to brave up and do gardening videos, I put a few up but really want to stay connected to other locals. Any video ideas that would help? I'm new to this but have researched a ton this past year and am so excited to get growing!! 💕 🙏

[@xaviercruz4763]

@@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783how is it going now both of you Ohio garden girls?

[@TrangNguyen-wo4nk]

Can u do another update on your parents garden please?

[@Jakovian]

• Yellow Cone Flower • Rose of Sharon • Autumn Joy Sedum • Lupine • Purple Cone Flower • Black Eyed Susans • Bee Balm • Joe Pye Weed • Ironweed • Milkweed Thank you both! It helps so much to see these plants full-grown and to hear their various needs and attributes.

I loved this entire video, my one complaint... I wish it was longer! Just set them up with their own channel, PLLEAASSEE

[@Ce_Joy_Grow]

Youngstown Ohio! was searching for native easy to grow plants, thanks for all the info!!

[@chey705]

this is great and gave me good new plants to put in my native ohio garden! Thank you!

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

You should make videos on your garden! I'm looking to connect with others in the area, i made a few videos and an trying to get more done, what would you find helpful?

[@blessedisshegroup]

Thank your parents for sharing their knowledge and expertise! I plan to start my own next Spring, and need all the info I can get!

[@Martha0217]

I love the random cats in the background lol very good video

[@bunsenburner6645]

Your garden is incredible, and is my dream garden! Love the happy birds, bees, butterflies and kitty cats :) Happy place :)

[@lanialost1320]

Lovely family all round! Your mum and dad's gardening skills are truly inspirational, and wish more of your neighbors' yards could be as welcoming to the senses and to the ever-depleting wildlife and insect populations. I've native gardened in Massachusetts for the last 15 years, and it is the best decision I made in my life. The wondrous beauty of dragon flies, native bees (there are so many varieties!!), insects galore, birds, (including lots of hummingbirds), bunnies, deer, chipmunks, frogs, toads, snakes, etc that have made our yard their home is such a pleasure to be surrounded by. Yes, I include snakes, deer and bunnies that are unfairly maligned by many gardeners.

[@knitterscheidt]

you can see who else loves gardens...cats, they look so happy and content when they appear

[@kevinw9073]

Very cool. I have been native and veggie gardening now for over 5 years. I love it Great informative video.

[@zacharyevans2028]

Dude! This video was super inspiring! Inspired me to take all of the guidance from your parents and apply it to my own life, and from your example, on how to make a quality, informational, and clear cut video full of knowledge, wisdom, inspiration, and beauty all around. Look forward to growing all of these that you guys showed us, and more native plants as well! Thank you brothers and sister!

[@oddopops1327]

This is super helpful and very cute to watch. I live in Ohio and I love Cone Flowers and Black Eyed Susan's'

[@countrygalinthecity]

This is what I plan on doing around my house.. we have 5 acres but a lot of it is for our goats and chickens...I've started several medical and herb gardens close to the house and really want to add a lot more of th ed natives .. thank you so much for sharing! Your garden is beautiful! My husband has vegtable gardens on the property as well...we haven't had to do any real grocery shopping for 5 years now because I can and make fermented veggies as well.We also started a small orchard on the other side of the pond...haven't gotten any fruit yet but hopefully this year. Again, thank you for your inspiration!

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

I just stared gardening last year, love it! I'm trying to get brave and make videos, I threw up a few the other day but I'm in your state. I'm looking to connect with others local and get growing! Should I do a video on what grows good here!? God bless

[@rebeccagustamente3676]

Wow and your Dad's vegetable garden is so beautiful.

[@jujub1264]

This is awesome I just moved to Ohio this helped me a lot cuz I'm trying to find out what plants to grow

[@speaklifegardenhomesteadpe8783]

Do you have videos on your garden? I'm putting up some for our area and hope to connect with locals so we can grow big! 💕 Any video suggestions?

[@jdy1054]

You can extend the bloom time of coneflowers by planting pale coneflower and purple coneflower. Pale coneflower blooms 3-4 weeks before the purple one.

[@embracingthehomesteadlife5701]

[@elizabethrichmond2934]

Your city garden is absolutely gorgeous! Being from Ohio it's hard to find videos and tips specific to our area. I recently moved and have a blank canvas to work with, but unlike my last home( where I had multiple native plants and butterfly gardens, several years invested). This new area I am in now is very damp with clay soil. I don't know where to start.

That is such a cute video I really enjoyed it especially your dad haha I'm your father

Beautiful, lush garden...well done! Please note that Rose of Sharon is not native to the U.S.

[@daniellehodnick7097]

Hey I'm from firestone park Akron Ohio!😀😀

[@sctvgirl]

can you list the native and non-native plants in the description?

[@markpellegrin417]

My understanding is that 'Rose of Sharon' is Not native to Ohio. Its native to Asia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibiscus_syriacus

[@LostInThisGardenofLife]

When she said it was native I was thinking to myself I really don’t think that’s true but OK. 🤣🤣🤣

[@S1D1T1DO]

Rose of sharon isn't native. Or am I missing something. All searches shows its native to Asia.

[@chriskline6488]

Unfortunately, many of the plants showcased are not Ohio natives. Zinnia, Rose of Sharon, Sedum, and probably the Cleome are introductions. Many of the plants she showcased from her backyard are native including the Joe Pye, Ironweed, and Butterflyweed. The USDA Plants database is a good source to check the provenance of different plant species.

[@angelacastanodiez3765]

I was going to comment same thing about Rose of Sharon, not only not native, but VERY invasive. Have them bordering all around the perimeter of my new yard and I am breaking my back trying to dig them out!

[@rexbrowns4777]

The Rose of Sharon is a type of hibiscus and is not native to Ohio. If one is looking for hibiscus that are native to Ohio, the crimsoneyed rosemallow and the halverdleaf rosemallow are native.

[@_LUNARVAEZ]

Please update if you can ♡

[@rexbrowns4777]

A great phone app that is available to check to see if a plant is native to Ohio is: Ohio Wildflowers. It is available for download to android and iphone.

[@ohnativeplants]

The rose-of-sharon is native to China and India.

[@kc8mwt]

how far is this from lake erie?

[@cheetachew5314]

What is your USDA zone or what town in Ohio is this?

[@ClimateChanged2020]

Zone 6a

[@twinsburggarden6066]

Beautiful, but not all "Native" plants....hibiscus/Rose of Sharon is from Asia/India. You could say "many natives plus plants I love". Love the coneflowers and the vegetable garden!

[@cmlorenz]

Why did you say that Rose of Sharon is native to the US? It’s Asian in origin and highly invasive in some regions

[@RealBradMiller]

Similar to forsythia, it has been here for so long, and does so well in colder areas. In subtropical places I didn't see it being available anywhere. Remember, we are on Ohio... The Bradford Pear is the plant I'm going after here locally! It escapes into the hills, shades out native plants, then breaks all to crap when an ice storm hits. 😂 Hope you have a great day!

[@njm8443]

🍀💚

[@alexialorentz2428]

Rose of Sharon and Autumn Joy Sedum are both native to regions of Asia, they aren't native to Ohio.

[@nancygiovanelli8212]

rose of sharon, zinnia, cleome, autumn joy sedum, and your lupines, are NOT native
