Planting A Vintage 3 Tiered Planter in the Shade Garden 🌺 || Shade Plants Begonias

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

A million children 😂 the reason you have so many towels. Love your garden humor

[@michellepollino4986]

Love the three tier planter. It’s going to be gorgeous in your secret garden.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you! 😊

[@sharonvanderpool4611]

I love ❤️ the vintage vibe your planter shows 😊😊😊

[@shesamadgardener]

Yay! Thank you!

[@antonianovoa6416]

IT takes a gardener to work outside of the regular box. The towel idea is STELLAR and the reuse of moss is wonderful! Beautiful planter! Thank you so much for sharing new ideas.

[@shesamadgardener]

Yes! Thank you!

[@kathleenvadney6217]

The use of old towels is great. I’ve used old soil separator as an inner liner but also to cover the drain holes in pottery. Keeps earwigs and ants out as well in my potted plants.

[@shesamadgardener]

Great tip!

[@susanschellberg4509]

Wow! The planter is spectacular and really has the secret garden feel. Love the cascading ivy and tuberose begonias are some my favorite plants. I have a similar planter that I also line with moss and black plastic. You've inspired me to redo mine. The landscape staples really help. Birds tend to pick at mine for nesting material. Excited to see this garden evolve.

[@shesamadgardener]

Yay! Have fun with your redo!

[@littlesaltyhomesteader]

I am loving your shade garden so much. It seems like such a peaceful spot.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much 😊

[@sandychristiansen1749]

The planter looks like a forest floor - I think it would be a true secret garden if you added a few fairies to dance in the plants.

[@shesamadgardener]

OMG! Why didn’t I think of that?!?!? I’m going to let me daughter go out there and set up fairies … thank you!

[@debbiet0719]

I love the “secret garden” look of your planter! It’s going to be so gorgeous when it fills out.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@annickaprevander9863]

❤❤ Hello from Sweden. so glad you planted Swedish Ivy. We call this one, run boy. Your projects are wonderful. Love ❤❤

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you! 😊

[@jenniferhannah4424]

Simply stunning! I can't wait to watch it grow and fill in!

[@shesamadgardener]

You and me both!

[@michelleloveless9123]

Love how you repurposed and it came together beautifully 🌸👒

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you! 😊

[@CindyWright-f8n]

That is just charming!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@sandratraugott6522]

Your begonias from seed are amazing, too, plus the ones you bought!

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad you like them!

[@grisespino5342]

Love love love that iron planter. Turned out so pretty.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks

[@mycraftroom6872]

Oh my gosh Amanda! That planter is beautiful! What a great job you did.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much!

[@vickiesecary7939]

I’m so jealous, Amanda! You’re able to plant in your zone 8 garden and are enjoying Spring while in Colorful Colorado we’re still in the 20’s at night! I’m so ready to start planting and my impatience is getting the better of me! lol! Love the planter with those lovely begonias! Thanks for sharing your secret garden with us! 🤗🌺💐🌻🌷🦩

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you!

[@barbaradickinson8314]

I love that plant stand. It is beautiful

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you! 🤗

[@sharonhart1232]

I'm so jealous of your shade garden :) I have one tiny little corner that is shade. The tiered planter turned out so pretty

[@shesamadgardener]

I’m pretty excited to have the shaded space.

[@patboyle267]

Wow 😮it looks gorgeous like secret garden surprise ❤ it!! 😍👏👏👏👏

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you!

[@michellefrance1165]

It's going to be absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤

[@shesamadgardener]

I hope so!

[@JerilynnSchultz]

The finished planter dies have a secret garden look, slightly wild and romantic. The sculptures and beautifully aged planters create that feel as well. Your shade garden is gorgeous. Looking forward to watching it progress. Swedish ivy propagates easily so you can over winter it. 😊❤

[@shesamadgardener]

I’ll definitely try to propagate!

[@marniroberson8980]

It is already looking fantastic!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@2BitRanch]

Very beautiful! Can't wait to see how they perform this year!

[@shesamadgardener]

Same!

[@kristinepeterson6761]

It is so gorgeous and magical!! I absolutely love the moss!! I’m a big moss fan anyway!!! Fantastic job!!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you so much!

[@AngieBrittHEC]

That's going to be so beautiful as it fills in! ❤

[@shesamadgardener]

I hope so!

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

The repurpose project is fabulous, kudos to you

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@heidijones1516]

Hi Amanda, that turned out looking SO fabulous, I love tuberous begonias. Great idea using that moss, its texture and color upgrade it from coir. I have a large basket that is the same style and vintage that I bought thrifting. I may follow your lead with the begonias and moss. P. S. I ordered the garden journal insert from your Sis yesterday.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks so much! 😊 I hope you love the inserts!

[@gillbrown3523]

I just love that planter 💖

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@vickijackson9115]

What a fun area. Can’t wait to see the progress. I know you have a lot of projects but if you paint the metal post they will soften your space. ☺️

[@heidijones1516]

I was thinking the same about those posts.

[@shesamadgardener]

Yes, that’s a good idea!

[@hobbithause9481]

Looks really good. Anxious to see it in a couple months.

[@shesamadgardener]

Same!

[@eleanormarcellus8676]

SO SO LOVELY!

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@KP-gw5zv]

Amanda, Never thought of using old towels. Seemed strange to me at first. What wonderful ways to recycle lots of things. Looking forward to seeing these planters.

[@shesamadgardener]

Yep, I like to recycle if possible to save on cost.

[@cathywright4133]

Gosh Amanda, I had NO idea how you were going to plant your stand. Never thought about moss and old towels. It turned out stunning. Thank you for you video

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@Angie-ci1lp]

WOW! WOW! Those planters are FANTASTIC! BEAUTIFUL!(maybe leave one for an experiment)Ok I’m going to enjoy your work!😂 Beautiful 🥲 yes your very own secret garden! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@shesamadgardener]

Have fun!

[@bridgetofczarzak5461]

Great use for old towels…never thought of using them in this way…..generally toss them…won’t anymore..thanks for the idea❤️

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@pintsizestories196]

That's going to be fabulous when the begonias bush out. I find begonias are great plants that don't get sick or get bugs, and they are so pretty.

[@shesamadgardener]

I agree … they don’t really deal with a lot of pest and disease.

[@jennielee6347]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing the towel idea.

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@marilynbaldwin2934]

[@Judyb63]

I love what you did with your 3 tier planter/stand. I have the same one and have had it for a few years and not used it yet! Thanks for the ideas.

[@shesamadgardener]

Yay! Hope you plant yours!

[@LindaBaker-l1b]

[@janetknight8724]

So innovative Dear Amanda. It's going to look beautiful. Wish I lived closer. I know we would be good gardening friends

[@shesamadgardener]

That would be cool!

[@bethkeefe760]

Love the planter. You can take cuttings from the Swedish ivy and root for next year.

[@shesamadgardener]

I will do that! Thanks!

[@racheltucker2972]

love all you do

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@maryshaddox1172]

The dianthus was pretty. There were so many things I liked today, can't remember all the names. Thank you 😊

[@shesamadgardener]

You’re welcome 😊

[@shirleyjburnham6424]

I have a large wire basket 🧺 that I am going to put a grow bag in and plant Begonia in and with your idea of moss line with the sheet moss. Beautiful container

[@shesamadgardener]

That's a great idea!

[@marionnixon817]

Those begonias are gorgeous! Your planter was a steal and is going to be amazing when it fills in. I wish I had some shade. ☹️ I don’t even have an area similar to yours when I can make shade. Love yours!

[@shesamadgardener]

I hope so too!

[@sherylbrimer3664]

Beautiful, good job. 😊

Wow, I like your rusty planter, too bought a heavy hanging basket in an antic shop last summer, old towel Idea is a good tip, I forwarded this video to my daughter too, I have subscribed to you, I am in a cold place Toronto, thanks for sharing ,

[@shesamadgardener]

Thank you!!

[@andrearastifard174]

This makes me so excited to try. I am in 8b, but in the Nevada desert. This gives me some hope to have a beautiful patio space. I am a new to your channel, and cannot wait to see more. My rex begonias are living inside under lights (our windows get too hot here). I am new to outdoor gardening, have found it terribly difficult in my region (and its all exposed, ZERO trees yet). I will be putting my rags to better use!!!! I have also added a pump to my bird bath under my patio which has helped dramatically with cooling the space. If anyone has tips, please advise!! Thank you for sharing!

[@shesamadgardener]

Yeah. Nevada desert is tough! Trial and error … start with a few things to see what’s going to last and what you shouldn’t purchase in the future.

[@andrearastifard174]

@@shesamadgardener I appreciate your response! Wow. Yes, there has been major trial and error, very expen$ive. I hope for more uniformity in my future landscape, but trial and error method has so many different plants together, for time being. If anyone thinks of some cool plants/ideas for this dry hot and cold climate, don't keep it to yourself!! I will take ANYTHING at this point, had to give in to anything that works, dying for green.

[@annsmith5625]

It will be really nice once it fills out some! ⚾️

[@shesamadgardener]

Hope so!

[@daliah1518]

so lovely:)

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks!

[@annsfrench]

Seems like you could put the pieces of the swedish ivy that broke off back into the soil to root in. Plus you could probably take cuttings late in te season to winter over and use them again.

[@shesamadgardener]

Agreed!

[@user-rosesroses]

Nice as always. 2 questions won't the moisture affect the wood fence and where did u get your rain boots.

[@shesamadgardener]

The planter sits a few inches away from the fence because there is a rock retaining wall at the base of the fence.

[@beckycartledge9719]

That turned out so beautifully! I’m so curious what you will do with the urns if not using moss. Guess we’ll have to stay tuned, eh?

[@shesamadgardener]

I’m thinking burlap perhaps but haven’t made up my mind!

[@carlas872]

The vintage wire tier is wonderful and I love the use of moss. Do you think the towels will get stinky? Hopefully not because you should be able to refresh the soil with plant tone and reuse the setup for another year or so. Begonias are so beautiful. I love all the ones you planted and would love an update on the begonias you grew from seed. Thank you for sharing!

[@shesamadgardener]

Nah, I’ve used them in other projects with no issues of stinkiness … just smells like soil.

[@dianadickerson555]

Hi, I live in Indiana and tried starting cleome without luck do you have any suggestions, thank you love your channel

[@shesamadgardener]

Yes, here’s a video I did on starting cleome! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5nMaIeDnrKensUsi=CqhempF-qgIFTS5Y

[@fromseedtobloommedia9340]

You may won’t to consider pulling that moss away from the stems of your begonias, they are highly susceptible to sclerotium fungal infections. I’ve learned this the hard and expensive way, allowing the surface to dry out keeps them healthy especially in the shade!

[@shesamadgardener]

Ok good to know! Thank you!

[@lavernejenschke4905]

how much water do you apply to begonias since they can rot easily if too wet?

[@shesamadgardener]

My drip lines run about every three days right now for 15 minutes. It will be a test and I will have to watch closer to make adjustments if needed.
