Thanks so much 😊

[@cfong7392]

One of my favorite garden tour out of ao many on you tube. One that i have viewed sevwral times already.

[@edgygardener2826]

That means a lot. Thank you so much

[@wandajohnson5947]

Everything is beautiful

[@anniemarques460]

Golly, gorgeous (pool toys and all)! Beautiful backyard! Enjoy your summer! ❤✌

[@AtHomeWithSheree]

What a gorgeous collection of flowers! Wow. I’d spend all day on that patio.

[@karilovelace8327]

I have searched for a garden you tuber in my zone that I enjoy listening to and enjoy their style. Well howdy neighbor from iowa . I just subscribed to your channel and I look forward to seeing more videos!! Super envious of the pool!! That is my dream!!

[@edgygardener2826]

Welcome aboard! Glad to share the zone with you

[@jewellittle2048]

Just beautiful

[@danicacase3390]

Your favorite coleus - I put it in the ends of my hayracks and they are gorgeous! I am in love with it as well!

[@GrandmaSandy]

I am Shelly good morning to my sweet friend thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden with us I love seeing what you’ve put together it is so pretty hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy thanks for the invitation to tour your beautiful garden

[@hishamkamal7340]

That’s beautiful. You have done a great job. Love the “work in progress” garden 😊, especially the coleus, petunias and hydrangeas! Oh, and the sounds of the dovesa And other birds 😀

[@deloresajacobs9551]

We have what is called a play pool. Deepest is 4 and a half feet. I like you garden around the pool. Unfortunately like you I have to deal with basketball hoop at one end and floaties all around. With the equipment I built two fence panels on each side of filters to hide the cleaning tools also. As long as the kids are young and at home you have to find compromises, you'll get it back when they move to their own homes.

[@edgygardener2826]

I do feel like I am making conscience compromises for other people to live around my garden areas 👼🏼 and I am hoping that those items will eventually just become a part of the scene and not eyesores to me. And, the thing is, my kids DO have their own homes! So this is for them and the little babies they bring with them. I chalk it up to the cost of having them close, and when I sit and watch them giggle and splash in the pool, it's all worth it!

Thank you for the tour! Your yard and garden are beautiful. I think Garden Answer said foxglove blooms the second year. I love your coleus wall!

[@edgygardener2826]

I got the idea for these Foxgloves from Garden Answer! The Dalmation series is supposed to be able to bloom first year. I think it's users errror

Very pretty! I’m also a central Illinois gardener so happy to see what works for you!!

[@edgygardener2826]

Let's stick together then!

[@ElyRyger]

Wasps have a rep, but they are the ‘wolves’ in the insectworld, and are so good for pest control when you grow organic!

[@nangel270]

So peaceful. Great layout.

[@MarciasCottagebytheSea]

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful garden 💖

[@kathleentwyman7010]

Beautiful garden, happy gardening!!

[@TheSweetpea73]

❤ so beautiful garden

[@khzvaleriesmith6428]

your foxgloves are fine. they are bi-annuals that grow the plant the 1st year and send up lavish flower stalks the 2nd.

[@donabellahardeneravlogs790]

Wow very beautiful garden!

[@mooreacrestxgardenening4979]

Gorgeous! So jealous of your hydrangeas. ❤️

[@edgygardener2826]

So nice of you

[@vklewis400]

You have a beautiful garden! I love all the Coleus😍🌺

[@lisawilliams9980]

Your yard is very lovely! I have a suggestion for your pool items. How about removing the sage and perhaps some of the plants to the left of them, fill in the soil area with more of the pavers you have down, then add a large storage bench to put all the pool items inside. You probably will have to build it to accommodate the pool noodles. You can keep your pole behind the bench. Just a suggestion! ☺️

[@TheWoodlandGardener]

Hi Shelly! I'm new to your channel. LOVE your garden, so pretty and colorful. Love how you not only have flowers, but also use foliage for color and texture. Just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing 😊 Angela

[@helenpruzan6970]

You said it right the first time.Clematis

[@DH-qz2so]

Pool Stuff Storage: you have a lovely garden... your property that is behind the pool, behind the black metal fencing,.... you could build a small cute shed to match your house...and create a pool storage shed, for all the toys, pool noodles, floaties, and scoops/nets... put in windows with window boxes filled with flowers on it...a little 'cottage'...

[@edgygardener2826]

I love that idea - however our subdivision covenants do not allow for extra buildings. But that has been a dream of mine. Great tip!!

[@LindasFlowersandVegetablesGard]

Avery cozy patio garden！

[@glendayelverton1676]

Your yard is amazing!

[@edgygardener2826]

So Sweet. Thank you

[@candicespencer2021]

Very beautiful!

[@ednajensen3164]

Thanks for sharing. You have an awesome garden.

[@michellesolheim9984]

Most Foxglove are biennials and thus don't bloom the first year. Hopefully you'll see blooms next year!

[@New-Hat-Gardening]

Incredible design sense!

[@edgygardener2826]

That's a wonderful complement. Thank you

[@sandrabooker6491]

Hi Edgy Gardener New subscriber. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden. Such an inspiration. Enjoyed the tour. Peace and Blessings always.

[@edgygardener2826]

Many thanks

[@goinggreen757]

I’m a new subscriber and really enjoyed seeing your most recent video. Everything is so neat and manicured! One small suggestion would be that a higher camera resolution would really show off everything so clearly.

[@edgygardener2826]

Thank you for the tip. I am really trying to figure all the technical stuff out. Suggestions are welcome

[@victoriasagraves4343]

Really beautiful! I am working on a garden & well “ whew” it’s a lot of work & this year is the most beautiful I have ever seen it. I can’t stay out of the garden centers. So glad I caught your garden & subscribed too! Thank you!

[@edgygardener2826]

Wonderful! Stay cool out there!

[@tinac7921]

Hi from uk I’m a topiarist ur garden is fabulous

[@robinvalentine2820]

Maybe you could have a really cute, small garden shed/pool toy storage building built somewhere to keep everything in so you don't have to see it? Your backyard is beautiful!

[@ritasicari7518]

I was thinking a cute shallow wooden shed built into/against the wooden fence where the cannas and banana tree are.

[@autumnotto1974]

[@edgygardener2826]

Great idea about painting the pole! Thank you

[@KatI422-r3m]

Beautiful.

[@ma.estherhernandezreyes1498]

Surely you can get a beautiful used arch for your Clematis and some short fences for bordering in market place. Really beautiful. Thanks for share.

[@edgygardener2826]

great idea

[@carolinahernadez2473]

Waooooooooooooooooooooooooo❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ sooo beatifullllll

[@pollinateordie6399]

Wow, everything looks great! I can see why the Marrakesh Coleus is your favorite. I was reading the comments and the concrete decking stamped to look like wood totally had me fooled. The only thing I would have done differently is I think the decking would have looked a little better had the *boards* not have lined up with each other in so many places. I would have staggered the *boards* during the stamping process so things would have looked more seamless. I'm putting the Fire and Ice Hydrangea on my list of pollinator plants to acquire someday.

[@RibeyeSuze]

Gorgeous garden!

[@nangel270]

In front of your fence by the pool can you put up some free-standing lattice screens to hide your pool stuff? Say three separate footed panels made with 4 by 4's for frame with metal or wood lattice between the 4 by 4's. You could even grow clematis behind and have them climb through. Just a thought. You needn't do anything as it's all very beautiful. It's just that you mentioned not wanting to see the pool stuff.

[@nevaehluz4213]

New subscriber here. I love your garden, it's very beautiful and therapeutic to watch. I would do anything to have such a garden

[@idaniamorales6058]

Beautiful 😻

[@virginiaritter3862]

Beautiful! Loved it!

[@dolcedresses5940]

I would suggest building a small closet out of the same fencing and stain color to hide all your pool goodies, making it exactly the same height. It would most likely look like a bump out in your fencing, but definitely just blend right in and not be noticeable. Paint all your hinges and hardware to match the fence so it’s not a giveaway. Yard is beautiful!

[@stylewithcathyover50]

Gorgeous yard! Love your pool.

[@hollyb8993]

Oooo yes, the space between the pool and back fence would look spectacular lined with the cannas and elephant ear (maybe coffee cups variety) and maybe a Medusa sweet potato vine for a tropical vibe- I’d the banana hardy in your zone or do you have to overwork yet that inside? Love the arborvitae’s over by the hot tub And I love the nickname “hole digger” cracks me up each time 😂 Thank you again for share it your amazing space 🥰

[@edgygardener2826]

I do have to overwinter the banana inside. I actually forgot to pull it in this year, so am starting over. I have my eyes on soooo many cannas. I t hink you're right about the medusa giving me some tropic vibes

[@tobykeane6214]

Dear shelly, if you have not found the name of your un-named coleus, found it on another site, they call her MARAKESH I am enjoying your site as you speak slowly and distinctly and for that I thank you

[@southerncharm693]

Hiya Edgy Gardner! 🌺 New subscriber here an I just love your garden.🪴 🌾🌼🌸🌺🌹🌷🌳 Oh ya need a small shed or a few Keter 165 gal.resin outdoor deck box’s (Sam’s Club) to keep all your pool stuff in as they would fit right in your garden perfectly and they are so affordable too. 🌼🌻🌲♥️

[@edgygardener2826]

I'm thinking that's what I will do

[@eileenchang2173]

I’m also new to your channel, and I am a new subscriber. You have a good eye for colour and ‘styling’ and a great collection! Unfortunately I had to also take out my Beebalm because all I did was get downy mildew no matter how careful I was in ensuring water did not hit the leaves, and ensuring good circulation. It’s OK though because now I have a beautiful Miss Molly butterfly bush, which has a attracted Monarch butterflies all summer long! I have also pronounced ‘clematis’ the same way you do! Keep up the great work ! 🌸🍁❤️🇨🇦

[@GardeningGroomer]

New subscriber too :D. I am moving from a zone 7 to a 5A, so very nice to see your gorgeous place, great inspiration for what I’d like for our next place. We’re also likely downsizing garden size as well, here on 5 acres, I just keep filling it up with beds! Gorgeous but a lot of work to keep up with. Looking forward to your next videos :D

[@SusanMiddleton1]

A very nice garden tour. Your video was recommended. I’m also in zone 5b but in southern Ontario, Canada near Niagara Falls. You grow lot of the same plants I grow. Max Frei geraniums - I put in a few this year and they are still sporadically blooming and I’ve been deadheading. Do you find you need to do that to make them keep blooming? Ninebark - I have several in my driveway garden and they really cascade and look beautiful when in bloom. Right after blooming, I cut them back by almost half and take out old canes to the ground. This gives the shrubs time to put on new growth and set flowers for spring and by fall the branches are cascading again and look fresh. Removal of old wood is important to keep them in control. I have Tiny Wine which stay on the “smaller” side.

[@edgygardener2826]

Happy you found me Susan. Our zone is so large and has so many personalities. I have never deadheaded my geraniums. They are flush in the Spring, then kind of sporadic through the summer. I do find the older they are, the better they bloom. Good tip about the ninebark. I do need to shape mine a bit right now, and it just switched to its purple-plum leaf color. I am loving it

[@SusanMiddleton1]

@@edgygardener2826 If you cut back the Ninebark now you will likely not get flowers on the new growth. I’m not sure how late you can leave it before newer growth does not produce flowers. Our climate here is hot humid summers and cold winters with snow. But you never know these days.

[@douglaseisenman4939]

Hi, Everything is beautiful but I suggest a stylish shed for your pool stuff. I could put up with the noodles but not the stuff on the other side of the pool. Other than that I envy you!

[@judyvonderheide7341]

Beautiful garden! I love the pool deck. Is that stamped concrete made to look like wood? Very nice texture.

[@edgygardener2826]

Yes. The concrete was colored slightly then poured, another powder color cast was added then stamped and sealed. We really are enjoying it

[@mochitwa]

@@edgygardener2826 is it slippery when wet?

[@angiehylton9977]

Love the garden! It’s pronounced Cle-matis

[@tinac7921]

You could do with some zinnias in ur cottage garden they quick growth and flour all summer u can seed now and will get flowers for your vase too. That mold just dilute some milk and pour all over its Cus it’s wet no air getting through

[@jeanrae2171]

Very pretty area! Love that scrolled bronze fence by your cottage garden. Many Foxgloves grow foliage the first year and bloom the next. Hollyhocks are famous for getting rust on and dropping their lower leaves. It's recommended to plant them behind other plants so that doesn't show--looks like you've done that! Is your patio wood or wood-like tiles? It looks nice. Maybe Chelsea Chop the yarrow? Love the jumble of pots! Had the same issue with dianthus in the ground. I have had great luck with them in containers with free draining soil, though. I'm a sucker for their perfume! Awesome pool! The whole space is beautiful.

[@edgygardener2826]

Thank you for your comments. I think you are right, it's time to chop the yarrow back. The patio surface is colored concrete stamped with a wood looking form. It was somewhat experimental, and we love it!

Hi, I've enjoyed watching your video. I'm really interested to know whether the plants that are in your 'coleus wall', are they all in pots? They look beautiful together.

[@michelejoerres4165]

Beautiful yard! Great selection of plants and love your pool area! New subscriber just north of you in SE Wisconsin. Always looking for zone 5 garden videos! Just recently picked up a fire and ice hydrangea and trying to decide where to plant it! How old is yours may I ask! Thanks for the tips! Just gorgeous! Those baskets on your fence look great, but I've had the same ones for a couple of years and they dry out very fast. Time to replace as they've faded a lot too. Bummer because I love the look of them! Thanks again!

[@edgygardener2826]

Hello fellow zone 5 gardener! I believe mine is 5 years old. I figured I might have to spruce up the baskets on my fence with some black paint every few years. I've started just having the spray paint on hand now. I do wonder how easy it will be to find the coco fiber inserts ....

[@joysmythers5300]

New subscriber here too! We are putting in a pool right now and there is so much rock in our yard that it has been hard to get anything to grow in ground. I really like your grouping of containers and that has inspired me! Can I ask the dimensions of your pool? Everything looks beautiful!

[@edgygardener2826]

Sure. The pool is 12 x 24. It seemed very small when we were 'drawing' it out, but on 4th of July we had 16 people playing in it! I am very happy with the size.

I’m new to your channel it’s beautiful what you did. Can you talk a little bit about the sauna/hot tub. My husband won’t get one. He thinks it’s a lot to maintain and that we won’t use it much. Any regrets about getting one???

[@edgygardener2826]

Maybe I need to do a video with my husband to explain. He takes wonderful care of it. He tests it on Saturdays and he is the one to clean and empty it. We use it every week and all year. He is in it almost daily. He loves to turn the temp down in the summer and sit there and watch baseball. In the winter we will have coffee together on Sunday mornings and look forward to soft snowfalls when we can sit and watch the snow around us. He will have to talk about the upkeep. Thanks for your comment
