Planting a Weeping Crabapple using Secret Leap Frog Technique 🌳🐸🪴// Suburban Oasis July 2021

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Soleil, I absolutely love your version of what I call musical plants! My daughters have known my version, 'Musical Pants, for decades, or I would change it. Your Super Secret Leapfrog planting technique, aka, Musical Pants, isn't so secret anymore. It's a given at my house, that I will be moving plants and creating more planting space, where none previously existed at that location! I can tell that CHAD is one of your favorite shopping companions, and thanks to you, I now know what to call my constant companion! Lol! ~Margie

Margie, i love that you had called it musical plants, its a real thing just like CHAD. 😄 I love that you have named it musical plants! How fun 🥰🌼💐🌿

[@greenthumbelina7331]

@@Suburbanoasis Actually that's what my sweet husband used to call it. He'd say to our daughters, "Your mother is outside playing Musical Plants again!

[@bronwynodonnell8548]

It’s great to see that other gardeners move plants around like I do. The garden looks amazing.

[@Suburbanoasis]

So fun to try out new combinations, isn't it? 😃🌿💐

[@maryj7912]

What a workout!!! It looks great!

[@Suburbanoasis]

Gardening is definitely great exercise! Thanks for watching. 🙂🌸🦋

Your garden is looking beautiful and weeping crabapple is looking awesome.

Thank you, I was so excited to find the weeping crabapple tree! 😀🌳🌴

Love your iron baskets, I have to ask is the bluebird sign anything to do with the Nashville venue? Those echinacea look stunning behind you Soil into the hoil 😂🤣😂🤣 love it

[@Suburbanoasis]

Thanks, I got those iron baskets at a mercantile shop in the upper peninsula. I got the birdhouse from someone locally and unfortunately don't know where they got the sign, but I liked it! Gotta have a good sense of humor for a the flubs in life! ☺🙃💚🌼

[@lianelindsey1407]

You got a good 🏋️‍♀️ workout 🙂 Look great like always!❤️

[@Suburbanoasis]

Wow, yes, that tree was heavy and some serious digging, but all worth it!! 🥰🌿🌺

Thanks for helping me plant, Marlise! 💚🌿🌳

[@mandyherrington6329]

It looks so pretty with the peonies around the base! Just beautiful!

[@Suburbanoasis]

Thank you, Mandy! I am looking forward to seeing some blooms next spring. 😀🌸🌳

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

Tell that storm system to head over to Minnesota for a while! We're still in a massive drought and I'm so sick of watering and watching my gardens suffer!

[@Suburbanoasis]

Omg, what a pain, I will do a rain dance for you! 💃🌧🌈

[@joycefleming4986]

Love the front porch pots, especially the heuchera. What a great bargain that weeping crabapple was. Great find. I,m looking forward to watching it grow and develop.

[@Suburbanoasis]

Thanks, Joyce! The tree next to it is an upright crabapple so it will be interesting to see if they bloom together... 😃🌺🌳🌿

[@KellyNoGarden]

I enjoyed your video. So happy it finally stops raining. Nice weather is coming for next week starting tomorrow. The mosquito went past the camera. I just imagine the buzzing mosquito make when it goes past your ear🤣 Have a great weekend 🐝

[@Suburbanoasis]

Yes, here comes the sun! I hope it sticks around a while! 😍🌼🏵

[@jillcampbell1216]

Now your secret leapfrog technique is no longer a secret! I love the new fact that it is worse to drink too deep for a new plant especially trees them to shallow. Thank you for that

[@Suburbanoasis]

🤣😂🌸

[@carolrose4784]

What a great price on your weeping crabapple….great job on all!

[@Suburbanoasis]

Thanks, Carol! It was too good to pass up! 😀🦋🌳

If you leave the hosta in the pots do you put them in the ground overwinter or in the garage?

[@Suburbanoasis]

I may just leave them as they are hardy to two zone below mine. I am in zone 5b and they are hardy to zone 3 so should be fine. 😀🌸🌿🌷

[@erinjames4024]

@@Suburbanoasis thank you for responding i want to do the hostas in pots too but worried they wouldnt come back. I have seen some gardeners dig a hole & put the pot right in the ground to ovee winter, assuming its not a big concrete one.

[@erinjames4024]

@@Suburbanoasis your garden is beautiful and I enjoy learning from you.

[@maureenmccrackin6933]

Well done! You should sleep well tonight!

[@Suburbanoasis]

I slept very well, thank you! 😃💚🏵🌹

[@jodiv2928]

what do you use for your rabbit repel.. Put a bunch of new plants in my yard this year and the rabbits decided to desimate some new lilies I had.. more then half the leaves are eaten all the way to the stem.. They look like badly pruned christmas trees. :(

[@Suburbanoasis]

Oh, Jodi, that is the worst! I use liquid fence. I buy it in concentrate because it is cheaper, but it is super stinky and then dries within a few hours. Dang critters are so cute but destructive! 😉🐇🌿

[@jodiv2928]

@@Suburbanoasis Thank you so much.. Yes they are cute but goodness please stay away from my flowers. Though who can blame them.. Grass is their dinner and our flowers and veggies are their ice cream :)

[@jillcampbell1216]

Corrrection for my comment: worse to dig too deep for a tree than too shallow.

[@Suburbanoasis]

Yes, you got it! 😀🌴🌺🪴

[@carrlinewhitfield5282]

Beautiful--are your plants on steroids there so healthy and large?

[@Suburbanoasis]

Haha. I have been told that before. This year they have gotten a lot of water from so much rain so probably making them even bigger! 🤣💚🌿🍀
