Beautiful plants, love the dark foliage on the plants. I love the sedums in the first spot. I got great cardboard at Costco, you can get it for free. They have large sheets in between their pellets. No tape, no breaking down boxes.

Option B 😊 Love all the dark foliage! Just beautiful! 🐝

As soon as you walked over to your hydrangea standard garden beds I thought your sedums would look great mixed in there! So option B is my vote. :) I love adding dark foliage to my garden too. Recently I added the Eclipse Hydrangea from First Editions. I found a fairly burnt and beat up one on clearance at Lowes…but it’s already bouncing back and the blooms are even prettier than I anticipated! Clearance plant for the win! 😊

Looking great! I was thinking you were in zone 4. You said zone 3. I lived a lot of my life in Alaska zone 3. Now I am in zone 8a Alabama! Anyway, you are doing a great job. I hope you can find time to rest.

I like the back on black sedum by the rudbeckia. Just got a dark foliaged bug bane! Hope you get some more sleep soon.

[@newt52864]

I like the sedum, like you said, you have plenty of green 😉 Looking good !!!

Love the dark plant choices! Question. Do you ever have moose or deer pressure in your garden?

[@simplybloom]

I do have deer but the only thing that they go after in my garden is my broccoli and cabbage. I didn’t get those to grow at all this year because the deer at them all. But in a way that’s okay because they left everything else alone!

Loving your videos ❤

[@simplybloom]

Thank you so much!

Your hair looks like mine when I garden--only better still!!!

You can use rolls of painter paper from Lowe’s or Home Depot instead of cardboard.

[@simplybloom]

Have you tried that way? I’m worried that the paper won’t be thick enough. But if you’ve tried it with good success then I’m willing to give it a shot!

[@franbernhards7844]

Matthew with Southerner’s Northern Garden used it to create new gardens and had huge success doing so. The key would be a thick layer of mulch.
