Hi Marta! I live in Washington state in the pnw where it’s zone 8b. My house has a lot of mature trees around so it’s mostly semi shade, but we did just have all our azaleas and rhododendrons bloom and it was so beautiful. 🥰

[@MariaPNW]

Hi Marta, I'm from the Pacific NW, Washington state , in the US. I spend time near Portland, Oregon (tending to my mom's garden) and Seattle, WA (where I tend to my friends' gardens). I love the rain (helps me keep trees and shrubs green and helps with new annual plantings), and the secret hot summers (anything over 80 degrees Fahrenheit is considered hot for Pac NW natives 😅😁). The azaleas are done blooming, and the weigela are almost done. The lavenders are starting to grow tall with buds, and all annuals are just starting to put on growth. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@imeldamayer-taylor2783]

Just gorgeous , your containers . I like the calm relaxing vibe which you have created. Thank you. Hi from Austria.

[@lilylupekha896]

Hi Marta, im in North Georgia, US. My roses, cat mint, salvia, and verbenas are in bloom. Big leaf hydrangeas are about to burst in color. I enjoy your videos very much, your garden is beautiful.

[@vickitucker9930]

Hi Marta, I’m writing from North Florida, USA. I have lots of shade and semi shade on my property (we have a canopy of huge live oak trees) so I appreciate your suggestions for plants and blooms which do well in those conditions. Love the calm vibe of your new plantings. Beautiful!!

[@kaylaknot]

Beautiful. I am in NYC zone 7 and I am also working on my own container seating area. Lime green is my favorite so I’ve planted creeping Jenny and the Japanese Hakonechloa grass.

Hello Marta! I love your video and channel. Such good quality. I live in Illinois a suburb of Chicago. My favorite heuchera is Carmel. Just planted a ‘lemon love’ heuchera in my garden today. I have a quick fire hydrangea in a pot and thrives every year even after our very cold winters. This is the 3 year in the pot. It sits next to our garage wall so has some protection from the cold.

[@celmonby]

As a plant lover / avid gardener, I find your garden fantastically beautiful 🌻🌻

[@krismatson2137]

I love your gardens and this spot in front of your "garage" especially. Container gardening is my favorite and I love to do groupings of trees, shrubs and color as you have done. We are in the Southwest corner of Washington state right on the border with Oregon. I haven't done much with annuals yet as I'm waiting to go to my favorite nursery on a road trip we are taking next month. The nursery carries a lot of Proven Winners plants that we love!

[@ireneindiveri2107]

Hi Marta! Saying hello from California, zone 9b. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us. What’s blooming in my garden right now? Angel’s Trumpet, fuchsia, mystic spire salvia, lavender, calibrachoa, geraniums and lantana. Meyer lemon tree has a bumper crop this year. After 10 years of drought, finally back to normal (for this year anyway). Oh yes, Italian peppers Again, thank you for letting in your garden.

[@DanikaBasista]

Ca too!

I also love the lime color Heuchera, it lights up any dark shade area. Thanks for the video on shade. St. Leonard,Maryland. On the Chesapeake Peninsula.

I love container gardening in my small garden, so much fun, the planning and execution every season here in Vienna.😊

[@sivlow264]

I am in zone 7b, New Jersey US. And my new favorite this year is Senecio Angel wings. And just like the chartreuse green, it brightens up. And the texture is so soft and very interesting.

Thank you again lovely video x

Hello from southern Minnesota (USA) Zone 4b. I plant Variegated Hostas, Ferns & perennial Geraniums in some of my Containers , along with Golden Sedum or Lemon Coral Sedum (which spills over the side of my containers & is Lime colored)

[@nicholasryan5401]

Greeting' from Ireland, I have over Fifty containers of perennials in my small front garden plus nine pots of annuals. I have collected pots over the last ten years and swear I'm not going to buy any more but then in early May I see nice pot's and I add them to my collection. But this year I have decided enough is enough and avoided the temptation.

[@jaynerudkin6832]

Hi Marta I’m in UK. Lovely video as always. I’m planning on having hostas in pots this year. Pots are so expensive though it’s a slow process for me. X

[@sunnyidaho3135]

I planted 4 Lime Marmalade this year and ❤❤❤ them. They are fast growers like you said! I live in Meridian, Idaho which is just outside of Boise, Idaho.

[@francineh.7825]

Hi Marta, I'm in Manitoba, Canada. This area in front of your garage looks so peaceful! The only thing growing so far is the garlic I started last fall. With our weather here we can't pot up pots until first week of June. I love hostas but I have so many deer where I live so I am going to try putting them in pots on my deck and then I'll overwinter them in the ground as we have -40c temps in January and they won't survive in the pot. I hope it works to dig them out every spring!

Hello Marta! Love your gracious videos! I watch from the Connecticut River Valley in Western Massachusetts, US. My containers are in full sun but would like to plant more in shade gardens. Thank you for your inspiration.

Good morning Marta. I live in North Colorado, zone 5a. Our home is surrounded by evergreen trees which are all over 20 years old. We live in the city but it feels like we're in the Rocky Mountains. We just got our sprinklers repaired, so now I have lots of work to do. Love your channel. - Michell

Hello from Wisconsin USA. If you’re looking for a Chartreuse colored plant try Lady’s Mantle (alchemilla-mollis) . Here in the states it grows well. It’s gets sprays of chartreuse colored flowers in late spring.

[@GardenwithMarta]

We have a lot of them, paired with climbing rose, catmint and iris. Love it!

[@Torawari]

Hi can you please make a video on how do you water all plants how is the best irrigation system please

[@CharmyPoo]

Loved the video and know many are asking. Where are the containers from? I have been looking for something that looks like that with an inside pot.

[@tcsanfranfan1]

🇲🇨 Mercerville NJ. Only plants I have in a container are chives. They are producing flowers now and will need to be divided

[@Cherishthamoment]

I have the same climbing hydrangea but it’s in a pot

[@foodbydonna8632]

Interesting that ypu have sweet potato in a pot. Is it purely decorative or you eat the leaves and sweet potato later?

[@goctalis3064]

Hi Martha, thank you for another lovely video! I am a balcony gardener from Romania, zone 6b, east facing balcony, obsessed with plants. The cupressus and the ivys are staying out in winter too (and a small japanese maple I bought recently will stay too), the other plants I overwinter in the staircase: geraniums, canna lilies, hydrangeas, asclepius curassavica,( this year I experiment with dahlias and gladiolas) , fatsia japonica, crizantemum and spring bulbs , solanum pseudocapsicum , plumbago auriculata . Because my balcony is small, I keep some of them in the staircase and bring them out in rotation or when they have buds. I have a question for you: Do you protect the hydrangea pots in the winter? I might try to overwinter the hydrangeas and the crisanthemum on the balcony too, because it is gonna be too crowded in the staircase (0-10 grad Celsius in winter)

[@agnesekrumina7441]

Worked all day in gardrn today-so tired that thinkmy gardening has gone too far. Planted in pots petunias and pelargonias.

[@evelynbrooks739]

Hello Marta, can you tell me where you purchase your black pots? Thank you.

If you don’t have automatic watering, how do you go on vacation or leave your plants? Can’t always trust others to remember to water. Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦

[@GardenwithMarta]

I always have someone taking care of the cats, the house and the garden. We travel a lot so that’s important to have someone who gets the job done well :)

I am in Arizona. Will i be able to keep a fig tree in pot on patio?

[@wduong7951]

Hi Marta, I wanted to ask where did you buy your black pots? I've been looking for ones like you have in particular ones that are just a straight side walls (normal cylinder) in shape with no step-in near the bottom like you were holding as you have both shapes. I'm not sure what country or city you are located in. Thanks
