Rainy (and overdue) garden stroll + updates

[@terrivance8750]

Erin, The bouquets are stunning! ❤❤❤

[@janettefisher256]

Who cares if people get mad , it’s your garden , you live and look at it daily . Plant what gives you joy 🏡

[@clematis1212]

I came here to say exactly this! I watch gardening videos to relax, enjoy, and learn, and it never occurred to me that people would actually get angry over this stuff. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.

[@adoster2008]

You do you in your garden! I’m all for updating, purging and creating a new garden. Love the new hydrangeas.

[@paulacothren3591]

The blue-green tones in the garden really come out when it rains. Thank you for showing your garden in the rain. I loved this!

[@nancylefevre4113]

Bouquets you made for the dinner were beautiful! Don't ever hesitate to do this for friends and family.

[@cherylt6888]

Yes! Our gardens should bring us joy to see and work ….you do you and I do me, And Happy we both will be😊❤️

[@magicalhealerclairvoyant521]

Loved the video with the ambiance of rain in the background. Thank you for doing the tour with Mother Nature. ☺️ ✨💖✨

[@claris1755]

Not your usual Sip and Stroll, but I tell my husband that the husband of my favorite gardening guru brings her a gin and tonic when she's working in the garden.

[@suzannebartow6390]

You could have fooled me that you are not a floral designer......those arrangements are breathtaking.....you've got talent lady.

[@msmaddox2918]

I know this is a gardening video but I just have to say that you look amazing Erin! I don't know if it's the lighting, your hair or makeup...whatever it is, keep doing what you are doing! You look great! 💕

[@Julies-in-a-mood]

So, I was afraid it could come across as creepy, but since you brought this up, Erin is by far the most beautiful, both inside & out, garden KZbinr around. And that’s not just the gin&tonic talking 😂

[@jillsimpson8716]

I agree! I wanted to ask what she’s using on her face, haha.

[@bonniejackson7476]

Love your channel. Can’t do membership but appreciate your content. Thank you😊

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Thank you!

[@livingonthedelta7068]

i love that sound while im in the dry sun

[@bettyboop1524]

I love the rain sound during the walk about.

[@JillCullen-kh7lm]

I also thought you look amazing Erin. I want to mention that I recently started watching your channel as I love gardening as well. You taught me that it is okay not to like a plant that you once loved! It’s okay to remove it and replace it. Why not? We do it with our clothes all the time. I truly appreciate your knowledge and experience that you impart on use viewers.😊

[@annespun]

Your garden is just so beautiful in the rain. Thanks for making it in the rain!!

[@miickeyp1695]

I’ve said this before, but I swear you are reverse aging, Erin! Keep doing whatever you’re doing! Love your channel and your sense of humor!

[@Julies-in-a-mood]

Your jumping worms story both repulsed & fascinated me. Good luck with that & hello from Michigan!

[@vickierickson8497]

Love that you showed Michelle from TLC your lovely garden! she makes me laugh she is so full of the joy of gardening!

[@susiescott661]

Love your garden. You should absolutely remove any plants that you want to in your own garden. We would all be happier if we did the same. Thanks for showing the way.

[@Heather0804]

Mr much more patient is far braver than I would be in that situation - no gloves when pulling back that grass. I am in awe 😊

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Yeah I wouldn’t have done that either.

[@rhondaschenk5727]

We need the rain desperately in southern Indiana too. Please send some our way! Thanks for sharing your beautiful wet garden!

[@flatcreek4665]

I’m in Central MO and am so thankful for our first significant rainfall in about a month as well. A rainy garden tour is still a wonderful garden tour. Thank you Erin.

[@maureennordstrom4496]

Why would be people be angry that you are changing out plants in YOUR OWN garden?? That’s absolutely ridiculous and I’m sorry you even have to deal with any of that nonsense. You are graciously sharing your gardening knowledge in the privacy of your home and people are judging your decisions? Incredibly rude. I really appreciate everything you share and I’ve learned quite a bit from you. I thoroughly enjoy your approach and your sense of humor has me giggling quite often. Thank you! ❤

[@carlas872]

Thank you so much Erin. Now I know what’s been eating my dahlias and why. Thank you for touching it out and filming your stroll in the rain. ❤

[@carlas872]

Toughing not touching

[@gwynethgaspari6255]

We are finally getting rain here too in Philly PA z7. It's bliss to hear it in your video.

[@heathertebb645]

Gardens are not static, they never will be! Go for that change that makes you happy!

[@lbrazill]

1” of rain overnight on Thursday. Planted some new things Saturday morning and the ground was very dry despite that rain and a ton of watering. Overnight last night we got 2.65” of rain. I’m in heaven and so is the garden.

[@TrigunKittie]

The flower arrangements you made were beautiful!!

[@ladawn603]

You're underestimating yourself. Those bouquets are STUNNING 😍 ✨️ 💖 ❤❤

Seeing you doing a tour in the rain makes me feel refreshed! Been dry for 2+ months in central Indiana.

[@cherylj7460]

I love your kitchen windows! So beautiful to look out on a rainy garden!

I love the sound of the rain :)

[@alicehihn3250]

No rain for a few weeks here in PA. Last night storms and 1 1/2" rain from 9:30 - 12:00. Love Michelle and her garden tours. Can't wait to watch.

[@heatherjung8941]

Love rainy garden walks. I joined your channel as I really enjoy your videos. Cheers from Winnipeg and Fiona is a beautiful cat.

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Thanks Heather. You can tell we needed rain because normally I'd be moaning about it and today I actually thought it was quite pretty!

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Erin really enjoyed the sound of the rain on your amazingly large umbrella. Ontario Canada and we also have not had rain in SO VERY long. Predicted for the next 3 days - will have to see if it actually does rain. Always enjoy the walkabouts - my list is getting longer of plants to research for my garden!!!

[@sallythompson2635]

I applaud you for removing what doesn’t work anymore. I will be removing some heirloom roses that are not doing well. It’s time to move on 👏🏻🙌🏽

[@carolkelly638]

You do you and everything you do is perfect!

[@jillsimpson8716]

I’ve missed a lot of my usual garden videos recently, we were building a deck and we lost our sweet boy 12 year old collie, Apollo. Nice to be back on a Sunday evening with a lovely stroll! And I found Michelle’s channel this year and she has quickly become one of my favorites. So cool you guys got together!!!

[@thomasphillips6612]

Awesome!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️👍🏼👍🏼

[@patriciaremonda4789]

Erin, I can so relate to you. Beautiful gardens, but whatever lives in the house had better be super tough, unlike that dramatically flopping diva on your counter, lol. I love your backsplash tile, by the way, as well as your lovely Fiona. So sorry you're dealing with those stinking jumping worms. Love your channel!

[@karenchisholm623]

Thank you for sharing your experience with jumping worms. I live in southwest Arkansas and I found them in a flower bed, this year. 🙁

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

I would love to see a video on jumping worms and what they look like as well as what your soil looks like. I'm in the Twin Cities and jumping worms were confirmed to be found in a suburb very close to me.

[@valerieenlow6282]

Your garden is there to bring you joy. If pulling out a plant just because you want to makes you happy, good for you for being brave enough to do it!

[@marthasidney2387]

And thank you for getting out in the rain to film this. I enjoyed it very much. And we don't get angry if you want to pull out plants. It's your garden for pete's sake. ( whoever pete is).

[@TheImpatientGardener]

Normally I wouldn't enjoyed a rainy tour too much but when it's so dry it was quite beautiful to see a little sheen on the plants!

[@MIchelle-cairn_mom]

Absolutely! deep water infrequently to establish. My garden is only a yr old, and has held up beautifully to a HOT dry summer without me being a slave to the hose. Natives didn't miss a beat. (no irrigation)

[@janicegrogg9710]

You did a great job on flower arrangements🎃🍂💐

[@ordiekelleher2641]

Good morning! I huggicates!😊

[@kristieoblak963]

It’s tough being the target of silly comments about the garden. As you say, you do what you like and others can do the same. I too have some hydrangea in my front border that are perfectly healthy, but they drive me crazy with their flopping and sub optimal leaves - they’re coming out!

[@yonokzeller5402]

Delightful sound of a rain!👍🏼

[@terrypauloregon]

Thanks so much even in the rain the plants look happy. Thanks for talking about the jumping worms. Not looking forward to them in Oregon. Also Glad Michelle came she was so excited about it. I only watch a handful of gardeners on Regular and those 5 seem to enter mingle. Which I love. Michelle, Laura, Janey, Lacey and Erin. So Happy your having a great summer with the transition into fall. Love you and your Channel.

[@debbyrennock8435]

Thanks for the walk in the rain. Your garden looks so different than usual. 😊I agree with taking out plants that don't give you joy. It's your garden and you have to look at it everyday. I had trees taken down and I don't regret it one bit. I'm looking forward to your stroll with Michelle. I follow her too. I'll get a drink to sip and stroll with the both of you. ❤😊

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Sunday garden stroll in the rain look so relaxing

[@irma_brenton]

Yay! So good to see you! Rainy afternoon here Lou. KY

[@deniporter3321]

LOL, my son and his family. live somewhat near you in Brookfield. During our weekly phone convo, I told him, "I know you were stuck in the house today". "Oh yah, how do know that?" "The Impatient Gardner from KZbin started her garden stroll video from her kitchen this morning, due to the rain and ended it using an umbrella." Really hope, fire bombing the jumping worms works!

[@TheImpatientGardener]

@@deniporter3321 🤣 I hope they thought that was amusing!

[@deniporter3321]

The rehearsal dinner bouquets looked stunning, you really are very talented Erin and what a stroke of luck that the roses matched the wedding flowers

[@barbjesson]

I am in zone 5b ontario canada and we are supposed to finally get rain tonight for 3 days. Cant wait. It has been extremely dry this summer. Love your channel. While i don't have the space that you do or the selection of plants/native plants I am now aware of what looks amazing and will probably have to order online. Can't even find canadian ginger in our nurseries lol

[@Susan-hn4dd]

The flower arrangements were gorgeous!

[@lynamsden7681]

I love your rainfall in this video. It's so peaceful and calming. It seems like any rain we get now a days are torrential downpours that cause more problems than good 🙁

[@gardeningTLC]

Thank you Erin. Those Sweetspires fit in there perfect! Thank you for you hospitality and for opening your garden up for me! Talk to you soon!

[@marilynruggeberg]

Eastern Iowa here. I, too, have had at least a month of no rain. There has been rain all around me, but none here. I'm hoping for rain today, Sunday. You will NEVER regret putting in drip irrigation. It is a game changer, especially with the crazy, unpredictable weather here in the Midwest. It has mad😅e such a difference in my beds. Even when we got rain, a lot of the beds by my house were dry because of the eaves above them. My drip is on a timer, and I vary the timing according to the heat, etc.

[@deborahpellerito6117]

What a brilliant idea, to get the blow torch out. I reckon youre onto the best way to eradicate those voracious jumping worms. Good on you!!! Jo😊

Beautiful walk in the rain .... the garden looks fabulous. Back down under here in Australia I'm still hand watering, it's Spring, still waiting for RAIN!

[@ladikmk]

Erin, thank you for sending your rain to 6a. It arrived earlier this evening, lasted for a couple hours, cooled off our 89 degree temp and provided us with some much needed rain. My plants thank you. :) Your gardens looked happy soaking up all that moisture; such a welcome sight to see. Our area has been suffering from drought for many weeks now, and we are still on watering restrictions. So looking forward to cooler weather and more blessed rain because it is desperately needed here. Thanks for sharing.

I am about to install a hedge of Little Quick Fire for similar reasons- the open blooms suit my style better, too. My other hydrangeas are Twist N Shout and Haas Halo. Im so glad I’m not posting my decisions publicly - the only person I have to explain myself to is my husband 😂

[@upnorth21]

Those jumping worms are scary. We also have a section of our lawn that suddenly turned brown. We are treating it like grubs, but now I wonder. Oh no! Yaaay for the rain. We are getting our first rain today too and it is wonderful. YES, do what you want to do in your garden, lol!

Not happy that you have jumping worms, but you can add Ontario to the list as we have them too. Lost significant lawn 2 years ago when I and neighbours obtained soil to amend some garden beds. Not much can be done and they are all over. Love your garden and we just got rain too. TFS and enjoy the rain.

I like your kitchen Erin! Looks like you have a build up of salts from fertilizer on your grass. Grubs and jumping worms love that environment. I had the same thing and had to reseed the lawn.

First, I am so sorry anyone would get mad at you about making a change in your garden. Rude. A few years ago I put soaker hoses in my gardens. Flash droughts are becoming more common because of climate change, and they have saved me hours of labor. I didn't need them all spring/early summer, but it hadn't rained here since mid-July so they were in the gardens already when I needed them. The jumping worm issue really scares me. I'm sure it's coming (I'm a mile south of the WI/IL border), and I'm really afraid of what it will do to our gardens. Oh, and also, I just love the woodland feel of your garden. I love that you can wander over to a bed and find those toad lilies blooming so delicately. ❤

[@ruthannecoro6198]

I have a spigealia (sp?) I had no idea what it is. It’s still in its 2 gallon pot from a year ago.. and it did bloom this summer. I was referring g to it as my fireworks plant.. because I got it near the forth of July 😂
